Chapter 8: Budding Love!  A Date for Hotaru and Seiya!
	Minako followed Taiki, her shoes making clacking sounds.  "I heard you have a
 day off tomorrow," she said.  "How did you know?" asked Taiki, shocked.  "That 
doesn't matter!  I want to go to a movie with you!" shouted Minako.  "No, thank you,
 I want to exercise by myself," said Taiki, walking away.  "Hey, Minako-chan, I'll 
go to the movie with you," volunteered Makoto, standing next to Usagi.  "Well, the 
movie is called Adults' Love XX," snickered Minako.  "What?!" exclaimed Usagi and 
Makoto.  "I couldn't get Taiki-chan, but I'll try Yaten-chan!" shouted Minako, running
 off.  "Why would she want to take an 11-year-old to an adult movie?" wondered Makoto.  
	
	Meanwhile, Hotaru was walking by Seiya, who called to her.  "Hey!  Do you want
 to go somewhere with me tomorrow?" asked Seiya.  "Sure.  Where?" asked Hotaru.  
"I'll meet you at the park at 11 tomorrow," said Seiya.  The next day, Hotaru was 
sitting on the park bench, waiting for Seiya.  When Seiya came, she slipped on a can 
that was on the ground.  "WAAAAH!!!!" she screamed.  "Hey, settle down.  If you're 
crying, we can't have fun together," reassured Hotaru.  "I'm fine!" giggled Seiya, 
jumping up.  "High power!  Hyper Seiya!  WEEEEE!!!" she squealed, running in circles.
  Hotaru anime-sweatdropped.

	Nezu was in a panic.  She had to bring in a Star Seed by Monday morning, or 
else she'd be in big trouble.  She ran around the train, screaming.  Suddenly she 
stopped, seeing a poster of the Three Lights.  "Hey!  They probably have Star Seeds!" 
she giggled.  She called up their apartment.  Yaten answered the phone.  "Who is this?
  Seiya's out, Taiki's doing dumb, sweaty exercise, and you're butting in!" she 
snapped, slamming the phone down.  Taiki paused in her weightlifting, wondering why
 Yaten was always so rude on the phone.

	Hotaru and Seiya were having lots of fun.  They went to the zoo, got snacks, 
rode the rollercoaster, and got scared silly in the spook house.  Then they decided 
to go to a dance club.  Seiya goofed around, slapping people on the back, and acted 
like a total nutcase.  Then the lights went out.  Hotaru saw Sailor Iron Mouse appear, 
and she ducked out of the room.  "Saturn Crystal Power, Make-Up!" she shouted, 
transforming into Sailor Saturn.  Seiya also transformed too, much to Iron Mouse's dismay.

	"Hey!  I didn't ask for a Sailor Senshi party!" shouted Iron Mouse, as Star 
Maker and Star Healer also arrived.  "You are attacking an idol on her important day 
off!  I won't forgive you!  Agent of love and justice, pretty Sailor Senshi, Sailor 
Saturn!  With my power of death, I shall destroy you!" shouted the raven-haired Sailor 
Senshi.  "Hey!  Little scythe-girl!  Do you want to know Seiya's real identity?" 
shouted Iron Mouse.  Suddenly, a telephone appeared.  Iron Mouse reached for it, her 
hand shaking.  "Hello, this is Sailor Iron Mouse!" she said.  "You disappoint me, 
Iron Mouse!" scolded Galaxia, who appeared in front of the frightened villain and the
 four Sailor Senshi.  "Madam Galaxia, please!  I can tell you important information!" 
begged Iron Mouse.  "I don't need you anymore, pesky brat," snapped Galaxia, as she 
took Iron Mouse's bracelets, turning her to dust.  

	"Sailor Saturn.  That was Galaxia, the enemy's boss.  We can help you defeat
 her, but we need to leave now.  We ARE on your side, though," said Star Maker.  
"We are?  Don't we have someone we're..." Star Healer started to speak, but Star Fighter 
clapped a hand over her mouth.  "Shut up, squirt!  All Sailor Senshi work together!" 
she shouted.  The two sisters started fighting, as Sailor Saturn and Star 
Maker anime-sweatdropped.
