[Scene: Monday night. Susan Olivia Chiba is standing outside the open door of her apartment, resting her back against the wall. A firefighter comes out of the apartment]

Firefighter : He won't come out. He's barricaded himself in his room and he's threatening anyone who comes near him with a baseball bat. You'd better come in and have a talk with him, to calm him down.

Aunt Sue: [stern] If I have a talk with him it's not going to calm him down. I'm standing out here for a reason.

Firefighter : It would help right now for him to see a familiar face.

Aunt Sue: [shakes her head] Right now, he thinks I'm the O'Sama girl, Beryl. And for some reason she's the most terrifying thing in the world to him.

[A paramedic comes out]

Firefighter: Any luck?

Paramedic: he won't let anyone get close without taking a clout at them with his bat. He knows we are going to sedate him, and if we sedate him he won't be able to protect the princess. [looks at Aunt Sue] I think someone has been letting him play too much Nintendo.

Aunt Sue: [gets out her phone] That's what I was afraid of. I'd better get Charles over to tase him.

[Aunt Sue stops dialing abruptly as a beautiful blonde appears. She's dressed in a skin tight black dress, high heeled booties laced in the front like gladiator sandals and a leather jacket.]

[She looks like she just got out of a bar fight. She has scrapes and scratches everywhere, a huge bruise on her hand, and a deep cut on the side of her neck that is definitely going to leave a mark. But even all that isn't enough to mar her almost supernatural beauty.]

[The firefighter and the paramedic just stare in awe.]

Minako: [entering the apartment] You guys can leave now. I'll take it from here.

[They watch in wonderment as Minako saunters into the apartment. The back of her Jacket says C'Est La Vie]

[Inside are additional fire crew. Minako walks right past them to the door of Mamoru's bedroom.]

One of the Firefighters: Miss! You can't go in there! It's not safe!

[She ignores him so he rushes over and grabs her roughly by the arm.]

[Minako calmly grabs his wrist, twists his arm behind his back, and pushes him against a wall]

Minako: You want to know what's not safe? Guys like you putting their hands on girls like me while they are trying to do their jobs.

[He lets out a yelp as she gives his arm a twist]

Minako: Now how about you stand back and let me work my mojo?

[The firefighter nods vigorous and she releases him.]

Sole female firefighter: [under her breath] Wow. What a woman.

Another firefighter: Where did you get that cut on your neck.

[Minako rubs her neck and shrugs]

Minako: You expect me to know where all my scars come from?

[She knocks softly on Mamoru's door.]

Minako: Endymion? It's me. Can I come in?

Aunt Sue: Endymion?

[Minako ignores her. There is no answer from the room]

Minako: [louder] Endymion, open up! It's all clear! I've brought reinforcements!

[The door opens and Mamoru stands near the doorway wielding a baseball bat. He's red-faced and sweaty with fever and he looks absolutely terrified. In his terror he's smashed up a lot of things in his bedroom, including furniture. He squints at Minako]

Mamoru: Selenity?

Minako: .Ah...yeah... that's right, babe... It's me... Princess Selenity...coming to rescue you from the big bad evil Shitennou army.

[Mamoru lowers the bat and grabs her by the wrist and yanks her into the room. The firefighters are all tense, but Minako gives her them a look to let them know she has this under control]

Mamoru: [whispers frantically] What are you doing out there? It's not safe! She's coming for us!

Minako: Who? Beryl?

Aunt Sue: How in the world...

Minako: [nonchalantly pets his hair] It's okay, baby. She's not coming for us. I already killed her.

Mamoru: You did?

Minako: [Nods and grins fiendishly] Drove a sword clean through the bitch...She's deader than dead...She can't hurt you any more...I killed her, then I chased down Kunzite and kicked his sorry ass...Right before I chopped his head off and went after his brothers and killed them as well...I killed their mother too...You see, you don't have anything to worry any more...I protected you from them..Just like I promised I would.

[Mamoru drops the bat and grabs Minako in a bear hug crying hysterically.]

Mamoru: Thank you, Selenity. Thank you. I love you so much.

[Minako cringes awkwardly then gives him a sisterly pat on the back]

Minako: [To the paramedics and the firecrew] It's ok. You can leave now. He'll be fine, once he cries himself out.

[They look to Aunt Sue. who nods. They gather their gear and leave]

Aunt Sue: [still saying a safe distance back] How did you know to come here? How did you know about this Selenity and Endymion stuff? How did you know what to say to him to get him to calm down?

Minako: I had friends in very high places.

Aunt Sue: Huh?

Minako: [winks] Let's just say, a little kitty-cat told me.

Aunt Sue: O-kay. [walks away, wondering if she's feverish too.]

Minako: [Sits on the bed and rocks a crying Mamoru in her arms and pets his hair] I'm sorry I doubted you. I thought you were a spy... I should have known better...They used me. It only stands to reason they'd use you too.

[Mamoru doesn't say anything. He just continues crying.]

[Minako looks around at all the smashed up furniture. Not even a normal madman could do that much damage. Selenity must have given him some of her power before she passed on.]

Minako: This might be the wrong time to ask this, but you wanna join my gang?

[Mamoru looks up at her and nods]

Minako: Good, because right now we can use all the help we can get.

[Mamoru looks at he scratch on her neck. He reaches up and touches it with his fingers. Immediately, the wound closes up, without leaving a mark.]

Minako: [touches her neck] A healer...she gave you some of her healing power...[smiles a big smile]...Now there's more than we bargained for.
