Summary[]

While Mamoru steps up his efforts to drive Usagi away, the Black Moon Clan once again attacks Chibiusa. The Sailor Guardians try to save her, but Sailor Moon falls into a deep sleep, promoting Tuxedo Mask to passionately kiss her.

Plot[]

Usagi reads a story of a princess being awoken by a prince's kiss to Chibiusa but the child is bored and falls asleep. Meanwhile Mamoru has a nightmare of calamity if he marries Usagi and a voice warns him to stay away from her. Mamoru wants to stay away from her until he figures out what is wrong.

The next morning, Mamoru runs into Usagi but quickly runs away. He talks to Motoki and meets Unazuki. The Sailor Guardians talk about what they know about Chibiusa and the Spectre Sisters but Usagi is distracted. She later sees Mamoru giving Unazaki a ride on his motorcycle and assumes she is his girlfriend and starts crying after he drives away.

That night Luna spots Usagi eating out of the fridge late at night and Chibiusa hears her say Mamoru has a girlfriend. Chibiusa starts running to Mamoru's Home to see if it is true but is almost hit by a car. She unleashes her power to save herself which lets out a bright light and tips off the Black Moon Clan.

Petz and Calaveras chase and catch Chibiusa while Usagi arrives and transforms. Luna scratches Petz causing her to drop Chibiusa. Petz calls Akumuuda who casts a sleeping spell on Sailor Moon which will drain her energy and kill her. The pair then turn to Chibiusa but Sailor Venus, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Mars arrive to save the child and the Sisters retreat. Akumuuda tries to put the girls to sleep but Rei interupts the sleeping spell with Akuryo Taisan. This does not free Usagi however. Luna runs to Mamoru to get him to save her and he comes when Luna warns him Usagi's life is in danger.

Tuxedo Mask arrives on his motorcycle and kisses her awake. The girls are relieved. Akumuuda reappears and attacks Tuxedo Mask mad he broke her spell. Sailor Moon pushes him out of the way and finishes the Droid with Moon Princess Halation. Tuxedo Mask denies that he has feeling for Usagi and drives away. Mamoru, by himself, asks Usagi to forgive him as he cries on his motorcycle helmet.

After that night, Usagi meets Unazuki for the first time as she works as a waitress at Fruits Parlor Crown. She learns Mamoru was only giving her a ride and she has her own boyfriend. Usagi declares that she will win back his love.
