Rating: PG

Scene: Rini's room

Rini: (dreamily) I can't believe it he actually asked me to the dance. That kiss it was like heaven. I wonder if he'll ask me out again after the dance. What's better is that he looks like Chibi Tuxedo Mask. I wonder could he be. Nah!

There is a knock on the door.

Rini: Come in.

Serena: Hi Rini.

Rini: Hi momma.

Serena: What have you been up to?

Rini: Nothing much.

Serena: I know that you went to the park earlier.

Rini: You do!

Serena: Yes, now will you please tell me why.

Rini: Only if you promise not to tell anyone.

Serena: I promise.

Rini: Well, I went to the park because Eric asked me to go to the school dance with him.

Serena: Really!

Rini: Yeah.

Serena: Wow your first date!

Rini: Remember you promised not to tell anyone, not even daddy.

Serena: All right, but you should at least let me tell your grandmother.

Rini: Why?

Serena: So she can make you the best dress at the dance.

Rini: Thanks momma!

Rini hugs Serena. All of a sudden there is a cry in the background.

Serena: Well duty calls.

Rini: See you later.

Serena: When I'm done I'm going to call your grandmother so she can start on that dress.

Rini: Thanks again momma.

Serena: Your welcome sweetie.

Rini: (thinking) Man am I lucky to have her for a mom.

Scene: Eric's Room

Eric: She said yes. I can't believe it. She actually said yes. When I kissed her it was like I was in heaven or floating on the clouds. I loved it. Come to think of it I love her. I just couldn't bring myself to say it for fear that she didn't feel the same way about me.

Eric gets ready for bed and then he gets into bed and turns off the light. Slowly drifting off into a dream filled sleep. Like I have to tell you what he's dreaming about.

Scene: The next day on the way home from school

Rini is walking home with Amanda and Cassie.

Rini: Do you guys have dates for the dance?

Amanda: I'm going with Bobby.

Rini: Bobby!

Amanda: Yeah, he asked me a couple days ago.

Cassie: I'm going with Matt.

Amanda: Matt!

Cassie: Yeah, I think he's really cute and he asked me so I said I'd go with him.

Amanda: Who are you going with, Rini?

Cassie: Rini?

Rini: Hmm.

Amanda: You did it again.

Rini: What?

Cassie: You started daydreaming again.

Amanda: I'll bet it was about Eric.

Cassie: It was. Wasn't it?

Rini: No, well……

Cassie: Yep it was.

Rini: How can you tell?

Amanda: You get this dreamy look every time you see or think about him.

Rini: Is it that clear that I like him?

Both: CRYSTAL CLEAR!

Rini gets a big sweatdrop.

Cassie: Anyway, did he ask you to the dance?

Amanda: Yeah, did he?

Rini: I'm only going to tell you because you're my best friends.

Both: Aww!

Rini: He asked me and I said yes, but you won't believe what he did after he asked me.

Both: Well what did he do?

Rini: He kissed me!

Both: WOW!

Cassie: Did you like it?

Rini: It was wonderful!

Amanda: What did it feel like?

Rini: I can't really describe it with words, but if I must it was like heaven.

Amanda: I told you he liked you.

Rini's face turns a dark shade of red.

Cassie: Well we know she's telling the truth because she just turned a darker shade of red than I've ever seen before.

They all giggle.

Rini: You're not going to tell Serena and Darien are you?

Amanda: As long as you fill us in on the details…

Cassie: …I suppose we could keep it between us.

Rini hugs them.

Rini: Thanks guys. This means a lot to me. I planned to keep you informed anyway. I mean you are my best friends and all.

Both: AWW!

They all hug.

Rini: (thinking) I hope he calls me soon. I did give him my phone number and all. Oh, how I want him to call soon!

Scene: Lita's Apartment

Lita: (thinking) Now I have a chance to think about who Cassie's father might be. If only Skippy could tell me it would save a lot of trouble.

Lita flops on the couch and flips through a magazine.

Lita: (thinking) There's a familiar look in her eyes, but I just can't place it. I wonder who it could be.

Scene: Eric's Room

Eric: (thinking) I can't wait to take Rini to the dance. She's so beautiful!

He looks over and sees a slip of paper on his nightstand.

Eric: Oh no! I forgot to call Rini.

He rushes to the phone and quickly dials her number.

Eric: Come on, come on pick up.

Serena: Hello.

Eric: Hello, is Rini there?

Serena: Hold on a minute. (thinking) I wonder what a boy would be calling Rini about.

Serena goes into Rini's room and finds the window open and Rini gone.

Serena: OH, NO!

Eric: What's wrong?

Serena: RINI'S GONE!

Eric: She wouldn't have left before I called her something happened.

Eric grabs his chest in pain.

Eric: What's happening to me?

All of a sudden Eric turns into Chibi Tuxedo Mask.

CMask: So I really am Chibi Tuxedo Mask. I must go help Rini, but I don't know why.

He jumps out the window and he senses Rini's presence in the distance so he goes in the direction he senses her.

CMask: It's like I can feel her near me yet she's not. I don't know what I'm doing but it's working so I'll go with it if it will find Rini. My beloved. What am I thinking? I need to just concentrate on finding her and work out my feelings later.

He continues his search.

Scene: Lita's Apartment

Lita's communicator goes off.

Lita: I'm here. What's up?

Serena: Rini's missing!

Lita: What?

Serena: The enemy must have taken her. Darien already left, but we need Sailor Scouts pronto.

Lita: I'll be there in no time.

Serena: I'll drop the baby at mom's and join you.

Lita: Great, I'll alert the others.

Serena: Thanks see you there.

Lita shuts and opens her communicator again.

Lita: Come in guys.

Raye: What's up?

Lita: Rini is missing!

Raye: When did this happen?

Lita: A little while ago.

Raye: You get going and I'll alert the others.

Lita: See you later.

Scene: Raye's House

Raye: Mina, Amy are you there?

Amy: I'm here!

Mina: Me too!

Raye: Rini is missing

Both: What?

Raye: Rini is missing and everyone else has gone out to look for her.

Amy: I'll grab Amanda and get into the search.

Mina: I'll be there with Artemis within a few minutes.

Raye: See you.

Scene: Rooftops

CMask: Rini is somewhere around here I just know it.

Chibi Mask is so intent on looking for Rini that he does not notice Tuxedo Mask (the original) is following him.

Mask: (thinking) I wonder who this guy is and what he's doing. He looks like he's searching for something. I wonder if he's searching for Rini too!

CMask: (yelling) Rini! Where are you? (thinking) I've got to find her.

Mask: (whispering) Well that answers my question!

CMask: Who's there? I know you're there come on out!

Mask: All right I'm coming.

CMask: You're… …you're… …

Mask: Yes, I'm Tuxedo Mask.

CMask: I'm sorry sir.

Chibi Mask bows before Tuxedo Mask.

CMask: Just to let you know I'm not mimicking you. I can't control when I transform into my costume. When I first transformed this was the costume that was on me.

Mask: When do you transform?

CMask: All I know is that whenever Rini is in danger I transform. I'm not even sure who I am when I'm transformed.

Mask: Have you found Rini?

CMask: No, but I feel as if I'm close though.

Mask: How do you know if you're close?

CMask: I couldn't really explain it. It's just a feeling in my soul that I have when I'm close to her.

Mask: (thinking) He must have a soul connection with Rini.

CMask: Sir?

Mask: Yes.

CMask: Can we keep looking for Rini now?

Mask: Lead the way!

CMask: All right!

Mask: I'll alert the other scouts.

Tuxedo Mask pulls out a communicator that Artemis gave him a few days ago.

Mask: Guys are you there?

Mercury: Amanda and me are here.

Jupiter: So are Cassie and me.

Mars: Sailor Mars and Venus are here.

Moon: Sailor Moon here.

Mask: Chibi Tuxedo Mask is here and he is also looking for Rini and he believes she is close. We are over in the southern part of town in the warehouse district. We'll probably need you soon.

Mars: How does he know she's close?

Mask: Explain later just get here.

All: RIGHT!

Tuxedo Mask puts away his communicator and turns toward Chibi Tuxedo Mask.

Mask: Let's go.

CMask: She feels close. Let's go this way.

Scene: Warehouse

Rini is siting in a steel cage in the warehouse and Birtie and the new droido are talking.

Rini: (thinking) I wish I could transform and blast my way out of here, but I can't reach my transformation wand. I hope the others find me soon. I hope Chibi Tuxedo Mask will come! What a hunk!

Birtie: I'll bet you think your friends are going to save you.

Rini: I know they will.

Birtie: They are going to fall right into our trap.

Rini: What do you want all of them for?

Birtie: Oh, I don't want your older friends. The only one's I want are the Chibi Scouts.

Rini: Why?

Birtie: They pose a threat to King Sabor and I have been ordered to find a way to get rid of or turn the Chibi Scouts to our side. Wait, why am I telling you this?

Rini: That's what I was going to ask. (thinking) I wish that they'd hurry up and save me.

Scene: Outside the Warehouse

CMask: Over here. I'm sure she's in here.

Mask: Let's wait until the others get here.

CMask: I can't wait that long!

Mask: We have to.

CMask: Why?

Mask: If we get caught we won't be of much help to Rini now would we?

CMask: I guess not, but it's so hard to wait. (thinking) Especially when the one you love is in danger.

Mask: (thinking) I wish I could just rush right in there, but I wouldn't help her by getting caught. Where are the rest of the Scouts anyway?

CMercury: Mercury and I are here.

Jupiter: So are Chibi Jupiter and I.

Mars: Mars here.

Venus: Venus here.

Moon: I'm here too. (thinking) I guess I'd better take control.

Mars: So what are we going to do now.

Moon: I'll go in first to make it look like I'm alone.

CMask: NO! I will. It will throw them off their guard more to see me then you. Didn't you consider this to be a trap set for the Chibi Scouts?

Moon: Well, no I didn't, but…

Mercury: I think we should let him do it.

Jupiter: Why?

Mars: Yeah, why should he go instead of one of us?

Mercury: I don't know I just trust him. I don't know why, but I think he can do this.

Mask: All right, but only if I go in with him and then you scouts follow.

Mercury: Be careful.

Mask: We will. Let's go.

CMask: Right!

They both rush into the warehouse.

CMask: Unhand her now!

Rini: Chibi Tuxedo Mask! Tuxedo Mask!

Mask: Put the girl down and you won't be hurt.

Birtie: Hah! I'm not worried about you.

CMask: And why not?

Birtie: I do not have time for you. Droido!

Droido: Yes, master.

Birtie: Get rid of these little annoyances.

Droido: It will be my pleasure.

Droido leaps at both Tuxedo Mask and Chibi Tuxedo Mask. Rini and Eric scream simultaneously.

Rini: NO!

Eric: NO!

Just then a strange power shoots from Rini and Eric. The power from both meets and forms into a new weapon for Sailor Chibi Moon. With renewed strength Rini bursts out of the cage and almost screams her transformation.

Rini: MOON PRISM POWER!

Chibi Moon almost floats over to Chibi Tuxedo Mask who is now on the floor unconscious.

CMoon: Are you okay?

Chibi Mask wakes up.

CMask: I'm fine go fight.

CMoon: I won't leave you!

The other scouts rush into the warehouse just in time to see Chibi Moon cradling Chibi Mask's head in her lap and crying.

Moon: Let's get this Negaverse reject!

All: Yeah!

The other scouts start to fight Birtie.

CMoon: You'll be just fine.

CMask: I don't feel fine. I might not make it.

CMoon: No, you can't leave me!

CMask: You'll always be in my heart.

Chibi Mask passes out.

CMoon: NO!

All of a sudden the crescent moon on her forehead shone through her tiara and her tiara disappeared. Slowly she changed into the princess that she is and she was in her dress. Now fully in princess form she grabs the new weapon, aims it at Droido, and uses it's power.

PRini: I WILL NOT LET YOU TAKE MY LOVE AWAY FROM ME! LOVE WAND ACCTIVATION!

Droido: Ahh!

Droido turns to dust and blows away.

Birtie: King Sabor will not like this at all.

Birtie disappears and goes back to headquarters.

PRini: Chibi Tuxedo Mask I know your identity. Show them.

CMask: I'm too weak.

PRini: I'll fix that.

A strange glow appears from under her hands and then Chibi Tuxedo Mask sits up and starts to take the red mask off his face.

Mars: I wonder who it is?

Moon: I have an idea.

Mercury: I have no clue.

Chibi Mask takes off his mask and only three people recognize him.

CJupiter: It's Eric.

CMercury: She's right it is.

PEric: Thanks to Princess Rini I now know who I really am.

Mask: Who are you?

PEric: I am Prince Eric, Son of Mercury!

All: Huh?!

What did Prince Eric mean by Son of Mercury? Does Mercury have a son? And why does he keep calling Rini my love? Find out in the next episode of …
