Sailor Moon (美少女戦士セーラームーン)

Okay, here's the story. Turns out girls nowadays have to go out and search for their own Prince Charming.

But that also means that the days of being a helpless damsel in distress are over.

So you better think twice before messing with my friends! Or else...

In the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!

Sailor Moon...

SuperS!

Sailor Moon SuperS

The forest is weeping...Our Crystal Forest is weeping...

Are you there?...If you can hear my voice, please answer me.

I've come running from the far side of night just to find you...And only you.

"Meeting of Destiny: The Night Pegasus Dances"

Someone's calling...They're calling out to me...But who is it?

Uh...Hey‐ where'd you go?...It was you, right? It was you calling out to me.

Tell no one...Our meeting must be a secret.

Uh?

Hey!...Why aren't you up yet?

Oh, well...It was just a dream‐‐

Okay, move! C'mon, everybody's already there.

Hey! Put your arms up!

So,...you're not working today, Motoki?

Who'd be coming to the arcade? Everyone's here.

Oh, yeah! I guess that's true.

Yeah, no one's gonna wanna miss something that happens only once every couple a'million years!

Well, more like once every few hundred years...You see,...

...the sun, moon and Earth will be in alignment, with the moon between us and the sun.

So for a few moments today, the sun will be completely hidden behind the moon. And that's called a total eclipse.

Right!

All of a sudden, the sky goes dark and the world gets spooky...

Weird and terrible things begin to happen...

The dead rise from their graves and werewolves search for human blood...

Knock it off.

Stop trying to scare her with that bogus nonsense.

It's okay. Don't worry. Half the time I don't even listen to her bogus nonsense.

Whatta you mean? It's not bogus, it's totally tru‐‐...Huh?

Wait, I'm thinking of the full moon!

Huh? Are you serious, Usagi?! I don't think you're thinking at all!

Come on. It was a simple mistake...Full moon...No moon.

Chibi‐Usa.

Huh?

What's got you so spaced out?

Hm?

I bet it's a boy, isn't it? Did you have a "Fateful encounter"?

Ooh!

Careful. Don't go doing anything your mom and dad wouldn't approve of.

Huh?

Oh, look who's talking.

What do you mean?

What's been keeping you at work so darn late? Mom's beginning to worry.

Whaa‐‐?! I don't know what you're talking about!

Oooh...!

Hey, guys, it's about to start.

...Wow!...Whoa!

So this is how dark the night would be without any lights.

That's weird...Is that a circus tent? I don't remember that being there before.

Hey, c'mon, Usagi! What are you doing? We're leaving without you!

Wait, I'm coming, I'm coming!

No one even noticed! Will you look at that, no one even noticed!

By the way, did I mention that no one even noticed?

These humans are dogs and don't even know it.

And they're raising their children to be monkeys; they don't even know that, either.

This whole place is nothing but dogs and monkeys...

A circus tent suddenly appears...

...Right, smack, in the middle of their city...

...And, still, no one even bats an eye. Hmm, why is that?

Yeah, why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why is that?

They're creatures who don't care what happens beyond the walls of their own little rooms.

And that's why...

...Even if giant rats chewed a hole right through their planet...

...Or, even if a giant circus tent appears out of nowhere...

...No one in this city will ever even notice!

All right, quiet down!...Quiet!

All right, hold on‐‐ Hold on‐‐ Ah! ...There we go.

Now,...

...the time has come at last for us to establish our dominion over this world.

Amazon Trio, are you present?

Tiger's Eye, present.

Fish's eye, present.

Hawk's eye present.

You summoned us, Madame Zirconia?

I did.

Why?...Because I am quite certain that the one we've been seeking fled to this world.

Capturing him is the first step to world domination, so, obviously, he must be found.

That is your task. And you will begin by searching for those humans possessing particularly beautiful dreams.

Huh?

Um...Beautiful what? Did you say "dreams", madam?

That's right.

You see, unlike you, the one we seek is unable to maintain his physical form for very long in this world.

His existence is unsustainable in the confines of the real world and he would quickly lose energy and die.

However, there is one way, and only one, that would allow him to remain in this world.

What's that?

It's this.

He could survive indefinetely by hiding in someone's beautiful dream.

Now I get it.

So what you're saying is that we'll find him hiding in the beautiful dreams of one of the humans living on this world.

Obviously that's what I'm saying because that's what I just said!

Now, there are many humans, almost as many as there are stars...

That being said, there can only be a handful of them who are capable of dreaming truly beautiful dreams.

So, the one we seek can surely be found...Now go out and find him!

Hey. How 'bout this one?

No, not my type

No, not my type

It's not easy. Even limiting our search to the handful who have beautiful dreams,

there are still so many...

Look at all these cuties. It's just so hard to choose.

Yeah, well, this isn't about your personal taste. The job comes first.

None of them seem that special to me.

Seriously, Tiger's Eye, you find these girls appealing?

Well, we're not all as uber particular as you are, Fish's Eye.

Oh, this one's super‐cute. Wow, I'll go with her.

Oh, glad you're keeping your personal taste out of it.

I don't know, she's got that wholesome look. That type is really hard to get.

Oh, yes. I know. But even they can be gotten if you make it seem like fate threw you together.

There you go.

Okay. So what's the dirt?

What do you mean?

What's the story with you and this boyfriend that your brother was talking about?

Oh!

Hey. Not in front of a kid.

Ohhh. It's at a point where you can't talk about it in front of a kid, huh?

Usagi, cut it out!

Hey, is this your boyfriend's picture in this pendant?

Eahh! Let go of that!

Chibi‐Usa! Stop that!

Oww...

Anyway,...

...he isn't my boyfriend.

Hm?

There weere a couple of times when it got really close, but he still hasn't asked me out, not officially.

So, I gues, maybe we just weren't meant to be...

You know, a girl doesn't just have to sit around waiting for a boy to make the move.

Hm?

Sometimes you just have to hop on your white horse and go out there and find Prince Charming yourself.

After that, whether you have a fateful encounter or not is up to you.

Wow, Chibi‐Usa...

That was intense.

Hey. You've been peeking at Mom's women's magazines again, haven't you?

Wait‐‐ Where's my wallet?
