Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon episode 22
title: Gekkano romance!  Usagi no hatsu kiss
aired: 1992.08.15

Usagi was running to school as she was late.  Usagi noticed a lot of
automobile inspections on the roads.  Usagi ran into Naru-chan, who was
just wondering down the street.  Naru-chan was spaced out.  She was
thinking about Sanjouin.

At school Umino told Usagi that the princess of the Dia Kingdom was in
Japan.  That night there was going to be a party where the treasure of
Dia Kingdom was going to be shown for the first time.  Usagi wanted to
go see it.  Then Naru-chan said that she had one ticket, and would go
look at it for her.  She had the ticket because her mother owned a
jewelry store.

Queen Veril was thinking that the treasure might be the ginzuishou
(a special silver crystal with some secret power).  Then Nefright and
Zoisight appeared.  Nefright said that he would investigate it.  Zoisight
got mad because getting the ginzuishou was his task.  But Nefright said
that the earth was his.  Queen asked about Nefright's plans.  Nefright
said, "I'll do it my way.  Just shut up and watch."

Luna told the three girls that the princess of the Dia Kingdom might be
their princess.  Ami said that they should investigate.  But since they
couldn't go into the party, Ami said that they should just go around
there and wait for a chance.

When Usagi got home, she saw her father getting dressed up.  He was going
to the party at the Dia Kingdom Consulate for his work.  Usagi cried
that she wanted go in too.  Her father said that he would take pictures
for her.

Then Usagi used her transformation pen to turn into a beautiful princess.
Luna said that she shouldn't use the pen for fun.  But Usagi said that
she was just going to check out if the princess was their princess that
they were looking for.

Mamoru woke up in the middle of the night.  He had a reoccurring dream.
He was looking for the ginzuishou too, although he didn't know what it
was.

Usagi went to the party dressed as a princess.  She just walked by the
man at the reception booth saying that she was the princess of the
Ivanovich Kingdom.  (She just made up the name.)  When Usagi got in,
she saw that everyone was dancing around in masks.  She was very happy.

Naru-chan was standing around by herself.  Then Sanjouin went up to her
and asked her to dance.

Usagi's father was going around taking pictures.  He spotted Usagi, but
didn't recognize her as his daughter.  He just thought that she looked
like Usagi.  He also wondered if Usagi would turn out that beautiful when
she grows up.

Then Usagi leaned into some women, and they spilled some drinks on her
dress.  Usagi ran out of the ballroom looking for a washroom.

Tuxedo Kamen was also sneaking around.  He caught a glimpse of Usagi.
When he saw her it brought back some memories.  But he couldn't fully
remember anything.

Naru-chan was with Sanjouin on the balcony.  Naru-chan stared at
Sanjouin, waiting for his kiss.  But Sanjouin transferred some of his
evil force into her body.

Usagi was standing by herself, and was disappointed because it was no
fun being alone.  Then Tuxedo Kamen went up to her and asked her to
dance.  Usagi danced with Tuxedo Kamen.  It brought back some deep
memories.  Usagi felt that she had danced with Tuxedo Kamen before.

Naru-chan (under Nefright's spell) went to Princess Dia's room.  She
said that she was a friend and went by the guards.  The princess was in
her room feeling sad.  Since she was not very beautiful (she had very
thick glasses), she thought that people only cared for the treasure and
not about her.  Then Naru-chan went to the princess.  The evil force
moved out of Naru-chan's body and into the princess.  Then Princess Dia
grabbed the treasure and ran out to the balcony.

Luna informed Usagi about the crisis.  Usagi ran to the princess.  The
princess hit Usagi over the edge of the balcony.  Tuxedo Kamen came just
in time to grab Usagi's arm.  The princess hit Tuxedo Kamen.  Then Luna
attacked the princess.

Nefright was waiting on the ground below the balcony.  He was going to
blast Usagi and Tuxedo Kamen saying, "I'll give you the pleasure of dying
with a beautiful princess."

But Sailor Mars came and blasted him.  Sailor Mars said, "My Tuxedo Kamen
has eternal life."

Usagi's hand slipped out from Tuxedo Kamen's grasp.  Tuxedo Kamen dove to
grab Usagi, and Luna threw an umbrella to save them.  When Tuxedo Kamen
and Usagi landed on the ground, Nefright ran off.  Tuxedo Kamen tried to
go after him, but Ami stopped him and asked who he was.

Tuxedo Kamen said, "I want to know who I am too.  To find out I need to
solve the mystery of the ginzuishou."
Ami asked, "Are you an enemy or friend?"
"We're after the same thing.  We could be enemies."  Then Tuxedo Kamen
went off after Nefright.

Since the youma stayed with Princess Dia, Usagi transformed.
"Moon prism power..  Make up!"

The princess (youma) regained consciousness in the ballroom.  The Sailor
Senshi went to her.  The youma said that she would take the ginzuishou.
Sailor Mars used her anti-ghost sign and threw it on the princess.  The
youma came out and attacked them.  Sailor Mercury used the "shabon spray"
and Sailor Moon used the "moon tiara action" to destroy the youma.

The princess woke up.  She was very beautiful without her glasses.  Luna
came and asked if she was their princess.  The princess then grabbed her
glasses and saw Luna.  The princess yelled, "A talking cat!" and freaked
out.

Later Princess Dia unveiled the treasure, which was a 2000 carat diamond
statue.

Usagi became thirsty and drank some cocktail.  Usagi immediately got
drunk.  Tuxedo Kamen carried her to the balcony, and kissed her.  He
said, "A long time ago, I feel like I did something like this.  I feel
my memory is coming back."
Usagi was thinking, "This soft warmth.  Sometime before, somewhere.
It feels dear to me."
