Summary

Mamoru, Usagi, Chibiusa, and Hotaru visit a botanical garden. Meanwhile, Mimete decides to pursue her next target: Yoshiki Kurebayashi, a botanist.

Plot

Mamoru takes Chibiusa out to get a bunny backpack. Usagi mentions the botanical garden. Hotaru walks past. Chibiusa sees her and asks her if she wanted to come with them to the botanical garden. Hotaru says she can't and runs off.

Chibiusa then goes to Hotaru's house to ask her again and is greeted at the door by Kaolinite. Chibiusa leaves the bunny bag at her house with an invitation. Hotaru then comes and reads the invitation while Kaolinite says that she is too weak to go. Professor Tomoe, however, allows Hotaru to go with them to the botanical garden.

They arrive at the botanical garden and meet Yoshiki, who turns out to be one of Mamoru's friend. Yoshiki takes them around the greenhouse to look at the plants. Mimete arrives at the garden and attempts to steal his Pure Heart Crystal.
