''I'M HUNGRY, MICHIRU-MAMA!'' the girl shouted.

Sailor Iron Mouse fell and winced another time. She turned to Michiru before the latter took a plate. She viewed Michiru putting vegetables on the plate and approaching the table.

''VEGETABLES?! CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATE!'' the girl shrieked as her frown remained.

Michiru frowned after she placed the plate on the table. ''Vegetables before chocolate. I will give you a chocolate treat after you finish your vegetables, Hotaru,'' she said. She approached the stove.

Sailor Iron Mouse sat up and scowled. *Star Seeds!* she thought. Sailor Iron Mouse viewed Hotaru taking her plate and tilting it to one side. Her eyes became wide another time after vegetables fell in her mouth. She seized her throat and gagged. After consuming every vegetable, she trembled on the floor.

*I almost wish for Galaxia to use lightning to knock me down. ALMOST!*

Sailor Iron Mouse glanced at Michiru. She ceased trembling. She smiled again. *Perhaps Michiru will be my hostage. Hotaru will surrender her Star Seed* she thought. She continued to smile.
