Distracting Amy Kate

"Oh, I'll think of something." Mina said to Raye & Lita.

A few moments later, Amy Kate came down the stairs in her day clothes after making her bed to find the three good sailor scouts with the book of dresses shut.

"Well, and what are you three dears up to?" Amy asked her aunts.

"Up to?" Lita asked.

"Up to?" Raye asked.

"Up to? Eh, eh, eh, we, we, well, we, we..." Mina began.

"Want you to pick some berries." Lita said, grabbing a berry basket and handing it to Amy.

"That's it, berries!" Mina said.

"Berries?" Amy Kate asked.

"Lots of berries." Raye said.

"But I picked berries yesterday." Amy Kate protested.

"Oh, we need more, dear." Mina said.

"Lots, lots more." Raye added.

Mina, Raye, and Lita pushed Amy Kate out of the cottage.

"Yes! Now don't hurry back, dear." Mina said to Amy Kate.

"And don't go to far." Lita said.

"And don't speak to strangers." Mina added.

"Good bye, dear!" Raye called out to Amy Kate.

"Good bye!" Mina called out to Amy Kate.

"Good bye!" Raye called out to Amy Kate.

Amy Kate left the cottage, "Good bye!" she called back to her aunts.

Mina closed the door and turned to Raye & Lita.

"I wonder if she suspects." Lita said.

"Of course not, come on, will she be surprised!" Mina exclaimed.

"A real birthday party." Lita said.

"With a real birthday cake." Raye agreed.

"Yes, and a dress a princess can be proud of." Mina said.

"I'll bake the cake." Lita said, racing into the kitchen.

"I'll clean the room!" Raye exclaimed.

"And I'll make the dress." Mina said.

"And," Lita added, pulling out their transformation pens. "we should use these in order to pull our tasks off before Kate gets home."

"No, Lita," Mina warned. "no powers!"

"Oh, but Mina," Lita protested. "the fourteen years are almost over, and after that... we won't have Amy Kate anymore."

While the drapes were closed, Sailors Venus & Jupiter were fighting over either tan or light blue to make Amy's new princess gown and Sailor Mars was cleaning the room, Devil, Queen Beryl's rabbit monkey was spying on them through the window.

Devil then left to report back to Queen Beryl.

In the forest that same day, Prince Zoisite was riding his stallion, Goliath, when they heard a most wondrous sound.

"Hear that, Goliath? Beautiful! What is it? Come on, let's find out, oh, come on! For an extra bucket of oats, and a few carrots?" the prince asked.

The horse neighed happily.

"Hop boy!" Zoisite shouted.

Goliath galloped off toward the singing, but he threw his master off his back.

"Ohhh! No carrots!" the prince grumbled.

Deeper into the forest, Amy Kate was singing to her animal friends.

Amy Kate: I wonder;

I wonder;

I wonder why each little bird has a someone;

To sing to;

Sweet things to;

A gay little love melody;

I wonder;

I wonder;

If my heart keeps singing;

Will my song go winging;

To someone;

Who'll find me;

And bring back a love song to me.
