Usagi and Mamoru hid in the parking lot of the hotel they were supposed to stay at when they saw guards passing through. They came out once everything seemed to be clear of the resort's guards. After Mamoru checked in they hurried into the elevator with their things. The doors then closed and they were alone.
"Mamo-Chan…" Usagi whispered in a nervous tone.
"Don't worry Usako, I won't let anything happen to you, I promise." Mamoru said without making eye contact but staring at the doors and giving a straight face. Usagi wondered to herself if he was alright but knew that it was not a good time to ask him. There was a ding and the doors open. Mamoru grabbed her stuff as well as his. Usagi read their room number on a tiny piece of paper aloud.
"Room 209…Mamo-Chan." Usagi said as she seen him walking the opposite way of their room.
"Oh…" He followed behind her. She knew that he was lost in thought. It was so stubborn whenever he was because it was more difficult to take him out of his thoughts. They walked into the room with two twin beds. Mamoru left the stuff between the two beds.
"I'll be right out." He said closing the bathroom door behind him. Usagi didn't have much to do so she watched TV to try to distract herself from all the stress since this morning. Some of her funny cartoons came on and that made her happy. Outside was still gloomy and grey. Usagi walked over to the window to look outside. She moved the curtains and could see rain falling from the window. She put her hand on the window and looked out at the forest, wondering when Haruka and Michiru would arrive. Suddenly Mamo-Chan came out and pulled her away from the window and closed the curtains.
"What are you doing? What if someone from 'there' were to see you?" He said frustrated. Then he tried calming down. "I'm sorry…I'm just worried. I don't want to lose you." He said pulling her in and hugging her close. Her eyes widened at the sudden hug but smiled and hugged him back.
"Don't worry! You won't." She said.
Back at the resort Kuro Shinzō was becoming more and more agitated.
"Where are they? Why have you not found them yet? I did not wait a thousand years for my chance to fail!" He yelled as he kicked over a glass book shelf.
"Sir please keep calm." Tokugawa said.
"Keep calm? Keep calm!" Kuro Shinzō yelled. "Wait! That's it! Once they return to Juban city they will realize their friends are not there and come back looking for clues. Then…we shall set a trap. Excellent! Tokugawa, you know what to do at the house."
"Set up traps sir?"
"Yes. Set them up in the basement where the laboratory is."
"Yes sir."
"And Tokugawa, you will now be in charge of boat tours."
"Me sir? But why?"
"Because the boat tour goes around the entire resort and if they were to appear, you would be able to spot them instantly."
"Oh…y-yes sir."
"Good, we have an understanding then. Now, this time I will make sure they do not leave." He said with an evil grin upon his face.
Back at the hotel Haruka and Michiru arrived and met Mamoru and Usagi in the room.
"Haruka-San! Michiru-San!" She said as she raised her arms and hugged them.
"Hey buns head." Haruka teased which made Usagi pout. "What have you two been doing all this time alone in a hotel room?" Haruka asked. Usagi blushed.
"N-Nothing like that!" She said.
"Come on. Close the door and let's talk about the business we came to discuss." Michiru said. They closed the door and all sat around the beds.
"We talked to Luna and she gave us this." Haruka said as she held up a unique pen.
"The disguise pen!" Usagi said.
"Her instructions were for you two to disguise yourselves as a married couple and go back to the resort with us."
"Why would we go back to the resort if we were trying to escape it?" Mamoru asked.
"Because the rest of your friends are trapped somewhere there." Haruka said.
"So where do you suppose we look?" Usagi asked.
"You guys check the private areas of the main house and we'll check the boss's house. Of course we have to investigate at different times."
"So we decided that when we are at dinner and everyone's distracted by entertaining the guests, you two check the main house. And tomorrow in the afternoon, it should be sunny, so we'll check out Mr. Ito's house." Michiru said.
"But why disguise ourselves as guests?" Mamoru asked.
"They will be expecting Sailor Scouts to just barge in at the right moment. They'll least expect guests to snoop." Michiru explained.
"Do you understand what you have to do now?" Haruka asked.
"I do." Usagi responded. She then held the pen up in the air and shouted, "Disguise power." And transformed into a dark haired common housewife.
Mamoru got up next, took the pen and shouted, "Disguise power." And changed into a brunette workman type of husband.
"Great! You guys look nothing like yourselves. This is good." Michiru said.
"Now tomorrow we shall check in but at different times. You guys check in an hour after we do, okay?" Haruka said.
"Understood." Usagi said.
The next day Haruka and Michiru successfully checked in. An hour passed since then and Usagi and Mamoru came to check in. They felt nervous but did their best to keep their cool. They checked in successfully and even now had a room at the main house. They went to their room and looked anything out of the ordinary. Nothing unusual found yet.
"Haruka and Michiru are supposed to be checking the boss's house." Mamoru said.
"So while we wait…we can enjoy the beach." Usagi said smiling.
"What? We're not here on vacation, we need to be careful."
"I know but we are disguised as a married couple here on vacation therefore we should act like that's what we're actually here for."
"Very nicely put…I guess it wouldn't be so bad."
"Yippee! I'll go get changed first." She said grabbing her bathing suit ran and got changed in the bathroom. She changed into a cute pink bikini and stepped out. "How does it look?" She asked turning. Mamoru blushed because he knew it was Usagi under there.
"N-Nice!" He said. "Alright, wait for me to get changed now." He said stepping into the bathroom. They got changed and went down to the beach.
"So many people here, where do we set our towel?" Mamoru said. Usagi seen a spot, grabbed Mamoru by the hand and ran. They set up their own space on the sand and could started feeling the cool breeze of the sea call them. Usagi giggled and ran to the water.
"Wait…" Mamoru just shook his head and smiled. He watched as she played in the water. It was different to see her in a different body. He eventually followed her into the water and the two played and had such fun for a half an hour. Mamoru ran back to the towel to dry off a bit and absorb some sun. He turned back then seen Usagi…no, real Usagi without the disguise. He looked at her scared and concerned. Usagi seen him and wondered what was wrong, and then she looked down and noticed she was herself again. Soon Mamoru turned back too.
A boat came around the corner and Tokugawa seen the two. Usagi ran to shore to Mamoru. He took her and the two ran as fast as they could to the nearest house. Sadly the nearest one was the boss's house so they hid in the basement. They tried finding the nearest light to turn on and when they did they found themselves in a laboratory, and not the bathroom kind.
"We should hurry; they might be here any minute." Mamoru said as he stepped forward then a net came and swooped him up.
"Mamo-Chan!" Usagi said concerned.
"Just run, go and find someplace to hide. Find Haruka and Michiru. I'll be alright. Now go!" He said. She didn't want to leave but since he so demanded she ran upstairs and heard the front door open so she quietly ran to the top floor and hid in a bedroom in a closet. Now she was stuck.
