Sailor Moon Episode Twenty-Four
An Artful Attack

Queen Beryl: Zoisite, present yourself! You've failed me twice so far. You're as bad as your predecessor, Nephlite. Explain why our enemies have two of the Rainbow Crystals and you've only brought back one. You showed such promise, Zoisite. I had high expectations for you. I'm sure you'd be the first to agree it's time I found someone more competent.
Zoisite: Please, Queen Beryl, give me another chance to prove myself. This time, I know I'll succeed. Dark Crystal, show us the next human carrier of a Rainbow Crystal. I'll get that crystal, majesty, if I have to trade my life for it.
Queen Beryl: Skip the melodrama. I decide your fate, remember, Zoisite?
Zoisite: Of course, my queen.
Serena: No way, Luna. Just because Tuxedo Mask kept a crystal doesn't mean he's our enemy. I mean, as if! My dream hunk in the same league as the Negacreeps.
Molly: Hey, Serena!
Serena: Hey, Moll! So, what's the big surprise? Something with food, right?
Molly: Nope, you just gotta wait and see. Gotta boot it.
Serena: Okay, but it better be near an ice cream store.
Luna: MEOOOW! It almost went into the river. When is she going to learn? Hmm?
Serena: Wow, that's cool.
Molly: Yeah, I know. This one's my favorite. It's called Self-Portrait as a Moon Princess.
Serena: Moon Princess... Wait a minute...
Melvin: Hidey ho! You wanna hear all the chemical elements in paint?
Serena: Ooh, not a chance, Melvin.
Molly: Know what I heard?
Serena: Huh?
Molly: That if you but one of these prints, all your most romantic dreams'll come true.
Serena: Oh... I wanna plaster my walls with 'em.
Molly: Hey Serena, this one kinda looks like you, don't you think?
Serena: I wish, 'cept her hair isn't anywhere as nice as mine, don't you think?
Melvin: I heard that Lonni Lanai is really shy. She never even comes to her own exhibitions.
Serena: Gee, if I painted this well, I couldn't stay away.
Molly: Yeah, you're a big ham.
Peggy: It's hopeless. I'll never find the models I'm looking for.
Molly: It's too bad she won't come to her own shows. I'd really like to meet her, you know?
Melvin: Maybe she doesn't really look like that. That's why she stays away.
Peggy: How would he know that?
Serena: She could be a real bag.
Molly: Or she could be a HE. What's wrong? See a ghost?
Serena: Sort of. This looks way familiar. Seems like I've seen that guy before.
Darien: What's this? Wow. She looks familiar.
Memory Moon Princess: Please, help me be free again.
Darien: It can't be! She's like the girl in my dream!
Darien: Sorry.
Peggy: Dear.
Darien: Oh, wow. I'm really sorry.
Peggy: Huh? It's you! It's YOU! I don't bel-IEVE it!
Darien: Huh?
Molly: Huh? Serena, look! Isn't that Darien, the guy you can't stand?
Serena: Oh, it sure is.
Molly: Who's that girl he's talking to, huh?
Serena: I don't know, but I'll find out. Hey, see you guys later, okay?
Molly: Serena, where're you going?!
Serena: That weasel's getting a major earache. Oo-hoo! Raye is gonna be so steamed.
Melvin: Cheery bye, Serena!
Molly: She can be such a ditz.
Melvin: Yeah, unquestionably, she's the biggest ditz I've ever known, but you know, that's part of her charm. Do you think that if... I bought one of Lonni Lanai's posters, she'd finally go out with me? You said all my romantic dreams would come true, right?
Molly: Well, miracles do happen.
Peggy: Please pose for me.
Darien: Pose for what? Are you some kind o' nut bar or something?
Peggy: Oh. No, I'm... my-my name is... I'm a local artist.
Serena: Ah HA! I caught you in the act, Darien.
Darien: What's your problem, Meatball Brain?
Serena: Oh, like you don't know. Raye is getting the buzz on this whole scenario 'cause I'm giving her the word on what a two-timing amoeba you are. Hey! Let go.
Peggy: Oh, sorry. I know this may sound very forward, but I need your help. I need you to model for me.
Serena: ME?! MODEL?!
Peggy: Good, you're right on time. Come in.
Darien: Thanks.
Serena: Wow. It's totally classic. Looks like a painting.
Peggy: Make yourselves comfortable. I'll make some cocoa.
Darien: You know, I really can't stay too long. I'm supposed to be meeting someone at the school real soon.
Serena: Aw, come on. It's fun, just like the days when you used to model. Hmm? Hey, these look like the paintings at the gallery. Peggy, are you related to Lonni Lanai?
Peggy: Well... Lonni Lanai doesn't really exist. She's someone I made up. When I first started, I went by my real name, Peggy Jones, but I bombed. Then, I did this new series of paintings as Lonni Lanai, and I'm a big hit.
Serena: But doesn't that make you feel bad that people don't know who you really are? That just doesn't seem right somehow.
Peggy: Well, it would've been nice if I had made it using my own name, but what's more important is that I sell my work so I can keep painting. Besides, I'm not glamorous enough. Now, why don't you have a seat?
Serena: What?! As if! You want me to sit next to THAT?!
Darien: My thoughts exactly.
Serena: Ooh.
Darien: I gotta buzz. This really isn't my thing.
Peggy: Oh no, please. Please don't go. I've had this great idea for a painting, but I need the right models, and now I've found you. Please stay, just for a while, so I can do the preliminary sketch.
Serena: Oh...
Peggy: I draw really fast. I really do.
Darien: All right. I'll stay.
Peggy: You too, Serena?
Serena: Sure, I guess. *thinking* Raye is gonna be way jealous. I guess Darien is kinda a hunk, but... *talking* Hey! What a minus zero personality. Why Raye likes him? Ooh, she must be brain-dead. OH, cosmic!
Darien: Problem?
Serena: Huh? Quiet. I'm posing.
Darien: *thinking* She IS a looker, when she's not falling down. Ha ha ha.
Peggy: Now, this shouldn't take too long. Try not to move 'til I tell you, okay?
Luna: I wish this thing had a homing device for Serena on it. I'm tired of looking for her.
Peggy: You guys are doing great. Nearly finished.
Serena: Can I peek? Hey, that's really beautiful.
Darien: You surprise me, Meatball Head. You haven't klutzed out once during this whole session. Unbelievable.
Serena: Dweeb. Peggy, what do you think about when you're painting? Anything special?
Peggy: I think about trying to make people happy, to bring people closer together. A lot of my ideas come to me in my dreams. Then, I just try to make them into reality, with help from my models.
Serena: You're so lucky to be able to paint, you know? I don't even draw stick people that well, but I think that it's uncool that people don't really know you.
Peggy: It's not that important, as long as they like what I'm doing, but you probably wouldn't understand. You're smart and pretty. You've got everything.
Serena: I do?
Darien: Except coordination. Anyway, I think Peggy's got the right idea. The more you keep people away, the less chance you'll get hurt. Really, popularity and romance are way overrated.
Serena: What do you know, Darien? Hey, what's this, Peg? It's lovely. Take a look, Mr. Minus Zero, and tell me if this painting doesn't do something to you inside.
Darien: *gasps*
Serena: Don't have a cow!
Peggy: This is one of my favorites. I got it from a legend my grandma used to tell me. It's called 'Til We Meet Again 'cause she's giving him her locket, so he'll always remember what they had.
Serena: A Star Locket! It looks like it would play beautiful music, doesn't it?
Darien: Yeah, though only for them.
Zoisite: Ha ha ha ha. Peggy Jones, alias Lonni Lanai... and soon, Vena, warrior of the Negaforce. Ha ha ha ha.
Serena: Wow! Dinner was fab! Thanks a lot, Peggy. Oh, you really don't mind I bottom-shelfed the whole apple pie?
Peggy: That's why I made it. Besides, I really need to finish that painting to round out my exhibit.
Serena: Are you kidding? Everyone�s gonna see me?
Lady: Lonni Lanai is the best.
Other Lady: I'll bet she's even more beautiful and amazing in person. She's gotta be.
Serena: They're so right. You are amazing, Peggy!
Peggy: Hmm?
Serena: There's no way you could make anything this beautiful if you weren't beautiful inside and out, you know? Don't be so harsh with yourself. People will like you.
Peggy: You think so?
Serena: For sure. I know so. I gotta go. See ya. Believe in yourself. That's where it all starts.
Serena: Wait'll Mom hears about this! I'm gonna be in an art show.
Luna: HOLD IT!
Serena: Luna, that you?
Luna: Look what I found.
Serena: Wow! You got another one?
Luna: No. That's the same one that fell out of your backpack when you ran off with Molly.
Serena: What?! That's really, really weird, Luna. I never, ever even noticed it was gone from my backpack.
Luna: I know. You're way too careless with that wand.
Serena: Are... are you mad at me?
Luna: Well, let's just say that of all the Sailor Scouts, you're the only one who'd almost dump the Crescent Moon Wand in the river.
Serena: Ooh, why are you always comparing me to them?! You're so mean!
Luna: Well... at last, she's finally getting a backbone. I thought for sure she'd wail.
Serena: I don't need this grief. If they don't want me to have this, they can take the stupid thing back. The Negaverse is after another crystal.
Peggy: What do you want? If it's money, I...
Zoisite: Don't worry. I'm after something much more valuable than money, my dear.
Peggy: You're one of... those art thieves. You want my paintings! Well, you can't have them!
Zoisite: This should satisfy Queen Beryl. ZOI! This Shadow Warrior will return.
Serena: They've turned Peggy into a monster! Poor Peggy.
Vena: Ha ha ha ha. Hm hm hm hm.
Serena: It's hopeless. What am I talking about? I'll get help. Raye. Amy. Lita. Can you guys hear me? I need your help right away.
Sailor Scouts: Right.
Serena: The Negaverse is dusted! MOON PRISM POWER!
Zoisite: Ha ha ha ha. That was too easy.
Sailor Moon: It's not over yet, Negascum!
Zoisite: What?! Sailor Moon, how did you get here?
Sailor Moon: I'm not letting you take this talented artist away from us. Do you hear me?! I am Sailor Moon, Champion of Justice! I will right wrongs and triumph over evil, and that means YOU!
Zoisite: Well, as they say, a picture's worth a thousand words. Get rid of her, Vena.
Sailor Moon: Feathers. No. Don't tell me she's gonna tickle me. Ooh, I just hate that.
Zoisite: Make it quick, would ya? Before the other Scouts show up.
Sailor Moon: OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! Owie.
Vena: This'll finish her off. Ha ha ha ha!
Sailor Moon: You came! You saved me again! They almost squished me.
Tuxedo Mask: She's got that crystal! I've gotta catch her!
Sailor Moon: Huh? Oh, he's such a hunkster. Peggy, please say you hear me. Let's not fight. It's me, Serena. I'm Sailor Moon. I'm your friend, remember?
Sailor Mars: MARS FIRE IGNITE!
Sailor Moon: You made it!
Luna: We can't let her get away. The Negaverse wants her back. You've gotta stop her!
Vena: See ya!
Sailor Mercury: MERCURY BUBBLES BLAST!
Sailor Moon: You guys can handle this. I'll go see if I can get that crystal from Zoisite.
Tuxedo Mask: I want that crystal.
Zoisite: Tough.
Tuxedo Mask: You're not getting away with it this time, Zoisite.
Zoisite: Oh, you're scaring me. ZOI! You're history!
Sailor Moon: AAAH!
Zoisite: You're history!
Sailor Moon: AAAH! MOON TIARA MAGIC!
Tuxedo Mask: That you, Sailor Moon?
Sailor Moon: Are you all right?
Tuxedo Mask: Yes I am, thanks to you.
Sailor Moon: I'm so glad. Oh. Do you want this back? You dropped it in a fight. It must mean a lot to you.
Tuxedo Mask: Yes, it does.
Sailor Moon: Oh, where did you get it from, Tuxedo Mask? Is it from the Moon Princess? Do you know her?
Tuxedo Mask: Uh unn. Least I don't think so. Why don't you go ahead and keep it? I'd probably just lose it anyway.
Sailor Moon: Are you sure? It's lovely. You know, there's something else you could give me: that Rainbow Crystal you kept, would you give that to me?
Tuxedo Mask: Sorry. Those crystals are my only goal, and I'm not letting you or anybody else stand in my way. You might as well know: I want the crystal you've got, and I'll do whatever it takes to get it.
Sailor Moon: But I thought your mission was to help the Scouts.
Tuxedo Mask: I help you because it keeps the Negaverse from winning. Remember that.
Sailor Moon: He's so cold, like Darien. As if! He can't be Tuxedo Mask!
Sailor Jupiter: JUPITER THUNDERBOLT CRUSH!
Sailor Moon: Is everything okay with you guys? Jupiter?
Sailor Jupiter: Yeah, we're fine.
Luna: Hurry up, Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon: 'Kay, I got it. MOON HEALING ACTIVATION!
Peggy: What's going on?
Peggy: Hi, guys.
Serena: What's happening?
Darien: We were on our way to your studio, Peg, and saw this place was closed. What's going on?
Peggy: I wanted to add a few more paintings to the exhibit. Look. It's finished.
Serena: Oh, wow.
Darien: She's got the meatballs perfect, too. Everyone will know it's you.
Serena: See if I ever sit next to you again. Huh? Hey... When did you do THIS?!
Peggy: After you came to pose and we had that nice little talk. Lonni Lanai is finished in the painting business for good. From now on, everything has my name on it, and people'll know the real me.
Serena: That's just great! Good for you, Peggy!
