Sailor Moon Episode Fifty-Two
Secret Garden
- Serena: Oh... look at that poor, loveless creature. Beautiful, yet alone, and nobody cares.
- Alan: If I could just get close to her. Courage, Alan.
- Ann: He hasn't even noticed me. Oh Darien, you're such a hunk. Here goes... Imagine meeting you here. What a coincidence.
- Darien: How're you doing, Ann?
- Ann: Oh, fine, but I found the coolest book. Gotta share it with a close friend.
- Darien: Uh... you... mean me?
- Alan: Hey, isn't it something running into each other like this? What a treat.
- Serena: Yeah. Yum yummm.
- Darien: Calm down, Ann. It's just lunch.
- Ann: It's karma, Darien. Everything is linked.
- Serena: Oh... Darien?
- Alan: Ann?
- Darien: Huh?
- Ann: Hmm?
- Darien: Hey, so what are you two doing here?
- Ann: Excellent question.
- Alan: So what were you thinking, hanging all over that human?
- Ann: And what about you?
- Alien Ann: I've never seen it this bad before.
- Alien Alan: What's happening to it, Ann?
- Alien Ann: Don't know, but it's getting worse, though if you'd stop chasing after Miss Bubblehead...
- Alien Alan: Oh, and you're not fixated on Mister Hormone?
- Alien Ann: We gotta forget all that nonsense, don't we? The Doom Tree's everything to us, and if it goes, we go.
- Alien Alan: You're right. We've been chasing all over town when we should have been finding energy for the Doom Tree.
- Actress: Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Sailor Moon show.
- Serena: Is this way cool? A show all about me.
- Actress: I fight for love and justice, and in the name of the Moon...
- Crowd: ...I'll punish you!
- Melvin: Sailor Moon sure's a big hit with this crowd.
- Molly: Whaddya expect? Everybody believes in Sailor Moon 'cause we all want someone to fight for us.
- Melvin: You got me.
- Fourface: Beware Fourface.
- Melvin: What's this? Some weird kind of blimp?
- Fourface: Happy. Bad. Sad. Zany.
- Actress: This isn't part of the show.
- Fourface: Let's try BAD! Give me your energy. Give me your energy. Give me your energy. Give me your energy.
- Serena: Oh no! What happened?! It's gotta be the Negaverse.
- Luna: Yup, their energy's all been drained. Yes, you got it right, Serena. Who else would do this to an entire crowd?
- Serena: Oh look! They even got Molly and Melvin.
- Fourface: Beware Fourface. Beware Fourface. Beware Fourface.
- Alien Alan: I don't get it. All this energy should be revitalizing the Doom Tree, not killing it. I... I don't know what to do. We've tried everything. What if it dies?
- Alien Ann: Then WE die.
- Alien Alan: I know, Ann, but look at the tree.
- Fourface: Beware... Fourface.
- Miss Haruna: Melvin? Molly? Ann? Are they all absent today? What's going on?
- Serena: I think I know about Ann. Seems her brother Alan is absent, too.
- Miss Haruna: Aren't YOU a well of information this morning?
- Serena: Oh. Ha ha ha. Well, I feel sorry for new kids... *thinking* ...especially Alan.
- Lita: I don't get why we're bothering with these two slackers anyway.
- Serena: Oh, get with the program, Lita. Ann's a classmate, and Alan is a major hunk.
- Amy: I sure do hope Melvin and Molly are doing okay.
- Serena: Oh yeah. Right. We'll visit them next.
- Serena: Well, here we are. Spooky place, huh? Hello. Anyone home? Hi. Oh...
- Alan: Hey, Serena. What a nice surprise.
- Serena: Hey, this some kind of brother-and-sister act? Dressing alike?
- Ann: Similar tastes, that's all, 'cept when it comes to snoopy, air-brained schoolgirls.
- Lita: Hey, check the attitude. She was just worried about you, okay? But I don't know why.
- Amy: Lita, cool it.
- Lita: Okay, I'm sorry, but she still has a major bad attitude.
- Alan: Why don't you come in? We were just making some hot chocolate.
- Ann: We were not!
- Alan: Come on. I'll make that chocolate.
- Ann: Hmph.
- Alan: Huh? *thinking* This is great having Serena here.
- Serena: So, are you two feeling all right now?
- Ann: Is that why you came nosing around here?
- Serena: No, I was just worried about you. So, where are your parents?
- Ann: Amazing. Who asked you to butt in?!
- Serena: Oh. Oh, I... gee, I'm so sorry they're not around. That's tough when you're new to a place and not feeling so hot.
- Ann: Look, we're perfectly capable of taking care of ourselves all on our own, so BUTT OUT, okay?
- Lita: Let's book it, guys. We don't need this.
- Serena: Is this Alan's room? Oh, way cool. Automatic door.
- Ann: STOP IT!
- Alan: You can't go in there!
- Serena: Oh...
- Alan: It's a real mess in there. Maid's day off.
- Serena: That's okay. We could help you clean it up, maybe organize a garage sale or something. Hey, it'll be a blast.
- Ann: You gotta be kidding. I didn't invite you here, and now, it's time you go. Here's your bag. There's the door.
- Serena: Oh...
- Ann: So, go on!
- Lita: Come on, Serena. They'll get along just fine without us.
- Serena: Sure. Independent types. That's cool.
- Alan: Huh? But the drinks are all ready, and...
- Serena: 'Nother time. Bye, Alan.
- Ann: Alan, what's happening to us? I feel strange.
- Alan: Yeah, I know. It's like I'm thinking with my heart instead of my head, you know?
- Ann: Yeah, maybe it's this place. I don't know.
- Alan: Whatever it is, I've got the feeling it could be dangerous.
- Luna: The alarm. I overslept. Come on, lazybones. Get up. What happened to her?
- Serena: Hi, Ann. Ready for school?
- Ann: What are you doing back here bothering us again?
- Serena: Oh, it's no bother at all. Just wanted to make sure you weren't late for school. That's what friends are for.
- Alan: Serena, what a brave girl you are. You risk coming back here again?
- Serena: Just thought Ann might want company walking to school.
- Ann: No, I do not want company, thank you.
- Alan: Oh come on, Ann. Don't be such a curmudgeon. Serena, how about some hot cocoa?
- Ann: Huh?
- Serena: Sure, I never turn down chocolate.
- Ann: *thinking* ...or anything else.
- Ann: So what made you invite Mighty Mouth?
- Alan: I don't know. I just get these... strange feelings when I see her.
- Ann: You better be careful, 'cause she's a major snoop.
- Serena: Cool it, Serena. Curiosity killed the cat. Hey, but you're not a cat, so go for it. It's just dark and empty.
- Ann & Alan: Wha...?
- Serena: AAAAH! Oh, help me! Help! Help!
- Alan: Serena, a-are you all right? Please speak to me.
- Serena: What is in that room?
- Alan: Huh? Oh, just a science project I'm working on for school.
- Serena: It must be some kind of weird science.
- Alan: Yeah, it's a brand new science called space botany.
- Serena: Oh ho. Out of this world.
- Ann: Never mind that.
- Serena: Hmm?
- Ann: Barging in on someone's private room is very rude.
- Serena: Uh, yeah. I'm sorry.
- Ann: Fine, apology accepted. I won't be going to school today, so you might as well leave.
- Serena: Uh... okay.
- Serena: Maybe I'll see you at school tomorrow if you're feeling better.
- Alan: Huh? *thinking* There's that strange feeling again. I feel more alive... but scared somehow.
- Ann: Whaddya think, Alan? Looks like the Tree's recovering.
- Alan: Yeah, there's definitely some new growth just in the last day or two.
- Ann: About the same time Serena showed up. The Tree seemed to thrive on her energy.
- Alan: What are you thinking?
- Ann: Maybe she's just what the doctor ordered. We should try feeding the Tree more of HER energy.
- Alan: You're THAT jealous?
- Ann: Look. You know as well as I do if the Tree dies, we die. If Serena's energy can save it, we zap her!
- Alan: Got a better idea.
- Ann: And what would that be?
- Alan: I have another card up my sleeve, one I haven't played to the max yet.
- Ann: Huh?
- Alan: Come here, Fourface.
- Fourface: Fourface here.
- Alan: This little seedling needs energy to make it grow.
- Fourface: It is done.
- Ann: You think that's all it's gonna take?
- Alan: Well, it's certainly worth a try. If we can get it to grow, our problems'll finally be over. Huh?
- Fourface: I have failed you.
- Alan: Oh no!
- Ann: The seedling's dead, isn't it?
- Doom Tree: Help me!
- Ann: Could that be the tree talking?
- Alan: I don't know. I thought I heard something, too. Can't be. It's just a tree.
- Ann: But... what do we know about it anyway?
- Alan: Hmm, don't you remember? Our kind have drawn energy from the Doom Tree for countless thousands of years.
- Ann: What makes it live?
- Alan: It's a highly evolved organism, designed to draw out energy from other species and transfer it to us.
- Ann: You're sure that's all it is?
- Alan: That's what I was told.
- Lita: You went back for more abuse? You've got some neurons loose?
- Amy: I think it's sweet you care about that shrew.
- Serena: Oh...
- Lita: Serena, what's that in your hair?
- Serena: A bug?
- Serena, Amy, & Lita: AAAH!
- Lita: IT'S MOVING!
- Amy: This is really weird!
- Amy: Did you learn anything about it, Luna?
- Luna: Well, it draws life from other creatures. Go ahead and show them, Artemis.
- Artemis: Really? Do I have to?
- Luna: Are you chicken?
- Artemis: No. Get off my case.
- Luna: See what I mean?
- Serena: Not really.
- Amy: You're telling us it drains away energy?
- Luna: Exactly.
- Lita: And you were walking around all this time with that stuck in your hair?
- Serena: Ewww, ick!
- Artemis: There's more to it than that, and it gets a lot worse. It's serious.
- Mina: Cut the melodrama, Artemis, and tell us.
- Artemis: Hmm, okay. This twig's from a tree... from the Negaverse.
- Girls: THE NEGAVERSE?!
- Serena: Oh, I see what you mean, but why should that bother us?
- Luna: Serena, it's just like all those Cardians, only it's a plant. The next question is: how did this thing get into Ann and Alan's apartment?!
- Raye: I've always thought those two were kinda strange. Do you think they're from the Negaverse?
- Serena: Hold on a second. Alan told me he's growing this thing for his space botany class, whatever that is.
- Other Girls: And you bought that story?
- Serena: Well, of course I did. Why would he lie to me?
- Raye: If he's a monster from the Negaverse, of course he would!
- Serena: What?
- Luna: You know, I bet there's a whole lot more than this little twig locked up in that room of his.
- Mina: So whaddya suppose they've got planned for this energy-draining tree?
- Serena: Like sell it or something?
- Raye: Get real. They're up to a lot more than that.
- Serena: Oh...
- Artemis: I know you like this guy, Serena, but you've gotta face facts about him and his sister.
- Lita: It makes all their secretiveness make some kind of sense. They're from the Negaverse.
- Serena: I can-not believe it.
- Luna: I think it's dangerous to go in there by yourself.
- Serena: No. Luna, I'm really having a hard time believing Ann and Alan are from the Negaverse. It... it just doesn't compute.
- Luna: Serena, you've got to get past this crush on Alan.
- Serena: I don't wanna hear it. I'm gonna see for myself.
- Luna: Serena, WAIT!
- Serena: Ooh... hey, you know, I wouldn't mind some company.
- Luna: I give up.
- Darien: Hey, how ya doing, Meatball Head?
- Serena: Oh, hi, Darien. Who are the flowers for?
- Darien: Someone up there.
- Serena: Huh? Oh...
- Darien: Just doing a good deed. You know, visiting a sick friend and all that.
- Serena: Oh... but she's not really sick, you know? She's faking it.
- Darien: Hmm...
- Serena: You never gave me any flowers whenever I was sick, Darien.
- Darien: C'mon, Serena. Don't be jealous. She helped me with the play and everything, remember?
- Serena: Huh? B-b-but you can't go in there, Darien! They've got space plants in there, and they're really, really, really dangerous!
- Darien: Space plants? Hey, that's a good one, Serena. Ha ha ha ha.
- Serena: I'm serious! Oh, I gotta stop him.
- Luna: Serena, wait up!
- Ann: Huh? You came all this way with these beautiful flowers... just to see me?
- Darien: Well, I heard you weren't feeling so good, so I thought I'd cheer you up.
- Ann: Why do I suddenly feel so light and happy? What's this feeling?
- Darien: Huh?
- Serena: Hey, Darien, don't you think you've stayed long enough?
- Ann: Hi, Serena. What a nice surprise. Why don't you come in and have some cookies and cocoa with us.
- Serena: Huh?
- Alan: Oh, hi, Serena. Thought I heard your voice. We were just about to eat. We've got a whole pile of goodies I just know you're gonna love.
- Serena: Really? Mmm, food! Gorgeous food!
- Ann: *thinking* This is perfect. Now, if I can just lure her back into the room with the Tree.
- Darien: Well, she sure likes her food.
- Ann: Why don't you two leave us alone for a little girl chat, hmm? You could show Darien the view from the balcony. It's spectacular.
- Alan: Okay, Darien. Come on. Th-This way.
- Ann: *thinking* Now's my chance. *talking* Oh Serena...
- Serena: Huh?
- Ann: Now that we're alone, I can show ya.
- Serena: Uh...
- Ann: You know, the space plant that's locked away in Alan's room?
- Serena: Oh yeah. Right, the tree. Do I really wanna leave all these deserts to see it?
- Ann: Tell you the truth, I'm scared stiff of that thing in there. I don't know what he feeds it, you know?
- Serena: Then why go in?
- Ann: I'm sure if you're with me, I can handle it. Come on! No time like the present to face your fears, right? This way.
- Serena: Uh, yeah. Uh, can't we just eat more cream puffs?
- Ann: Almost there. Come on!
- Serena: AAAH!
- Ann: Fourface, come here and drain the filling out of this little cream puff!
- Serena: What?!
- Fourface: Beware Fourface!
- Doom Tree: ENOUGH! ENOUGH! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!
- Fourface: Huh? No more?
- Doom Tree: STOP IIIIT! AUUGH!
- Alan: What's going on?
- Darien: WHERE'S SERENA GONE?!
- Ann: This wasn't supposed to happen! AAAH!
- Darien: Serena!
- Alan: Ann, no!
- Fourface: Out of control! Out of control! Out of control! Oh...
- Raye: Unbelievable! This thing is huge!
- Amy: That's the tree?
- Luna: Must be. Gotta get Serena and Darien out of there. Sailor Scouts, TRANSFORM YOURSELVES!
- Girls: Gotcha!
- Raye: MARS POWER!
- Amy: MERCURY POWER!
- Mina: VENUS POWER!
- Lita: JUPITER POWER!
