Three days went by after the formation of the Neo Sailor Scouts and nothing
happened. Rini's dislike of Matt became more and more. That night at
dinner, Rei announced that Matt wasn't her real son but her godson. Matt
is Chad's son. Chad was the assistant to Rei's grandfather at the temple.
Chad and his wife died when Crystal Tokyo was being formed. Matt lived
with his aunt until he could find Rei.
Rini never wanted to talk to him. She knew there was something about him that didn't fit but no one believed her. During meals, Rini would get her food and take it up to her bedroom. Sometimes she just wouldn't eat.
Three days turned into three weeks, not only did the Chaos Sailor Scouts not show up but also Elios had gone back to Illusion. Elios told Rini that he had to go back to take care of something but never told her what. Hotaru and the other scouts were caught up in how cute Matt was. Rini was, for the most part, by herself.
It was time for the pink roses in the garden to bloom, so Rini spent most of the day out in the garden. Rini sat in one of the benches and drew the buds of the roses. Then she went to the tiger lilies. They were at full bloom. Rini sat there and drew the tiger lilies for a couple of hours. She stopped when she heard her mother scream.
"It's gone. Someone has stolen the Silver Crystal." Neo Queen Serenity yelled. Rini ran inside.
Rini stood in the doorway of the room where the crystal was supposed to be. Trista turned to look at Rini. "Rini did you take the crystal again?"
Rini stood there shocked. She didn't know what to say. "No."
"You are grounded until the crystal is returned. Maybe you will tell us the truth." Serena didn't look at her daughter as she walked past her.
The original scouts shook their heads at Rini and walked out. Hotaru walked up to Rini. "How could you?"
"I didn't take it. I promise." Rini was about to cry.
Hotaru walked to her room. "You messed up now didn't you, Princess?" Matt, laughing, was leaning against the wall next to the door.
One week went by, Rini was in her room all day and everyday. Andrew brought her food then left her room. Rini had to think of something. Matt popped into her head. Matt hated that Rini didn't like him. She was the only one who didn't melt when he smiled. He could have set her up. "Mom!" Rini stood up and ran for the throne room.
"Come to tell the truth, Rini?" Serena told her daughter as she walked into the room.
Rini blew off the question. "It was Matt. I am the only one that knows him for who he really is. He isn't a good kid, mom."
"Stop it. Matt is a great kid. Rini quit trying to blame everyone else for what you do. Rini I can't believe you. Give me your brooch." Serena held out her hand. "Give it to me now."
Rini held up her hand and her brooch appeared in her hand. She handed it to her mother. "No more Sailor Neo Moon for you." Rini ran out of the room crying. She kept running.
Rini finally quit running. She found the alleyway where she and Elios first talked. Rini sat there until well after dark. She never wanted to go home. Rini could here everyone calling for her. Rini didn't answer. Rini sat down next to the dumpster. She put her head on her knees and cried. She quickly fell asleep.
When Rini woke up, Elios was sitting in front of her. "They told me what happened. I came as soon as possible."
"I am not going back. Don't try and make me." Rini liked Elios a lot but he still couldn't make her go home.
"I know. I am taking you home but not yours. I told your parents that too. Where I am taking you is my secret. They trust me so why don't you." Elios held out his hand to help Rini up. Rini took his hand. They started walking towards the wall when they disappeared.
