On the Moon [Part 1]:
The Inner System Princesses have officially arrived at the Moon Kingdom to fully begin their duties as guardians to the Moon Princess. After arriving, they went right into training. Each Princess was given her henshin rod, sparring with eachother to get a feel for the powers that came with their duties. They learned how to control the level of power in an attack, how to combine powers, and used their knowledge of each other (like strengths and weaknesses) to make the most of their time together.

Princess Serenity secretly watched her friends and guardians' display of powers. She expressed great happiness to have them at the Moon Kingdom, but was also frustrated that Queen Serenity was not as willing to allow Serenity to train and hone her own powers like her friends. When confronted by her mother as she spied, Princess Serenity grew more restless. Her mother urged her to focus on her studies, while she showed compassion for her daughter's unique and kind nature, Queen Serenity stressed that her daughter was young and naive in many respects. Politics were necessary and every Kingdom had to focus on its needs for sustainability and prosperity. Princess Serenity felt unheard, noted she was growing displeased with her advisors teachings, and eventually asked to retire to her room. Princess Serenity said she was feeling unwell. In the Princess' stead, the Queen greeted the Senshi and welcomed them, with help from Luna, to their special wing within the Moon Kingdom. They have a shared common area that connects to individual rooms that are designed in the style of each Princcess' homeland.
While the Inn System Princesses settled into their new living space—touring, making cookies, talking about Rei's training into fire readings, Luna speaking with Ami about Princess Serenity's restlessness to see if Ami will help advise and guide Serenity as someone transparent in her studies, etc. — Princess Serenity sneaks to Earth. Knowing something was off Queen Serenity recruited help from a women she felt seasoned for subtly and quick execution. Princess Uranus (not known to IC characters outside of Queen Serenity) investigated Princess Serenity's room and determined she was on Earth.
On Earth [Part 1]:
Endymion starts the day by sneaking out of his bed chambers and into the grounds surrounding the palace. He yearns for some respite from the careful watch of his Generals. But, he doesn't make it far before Kunzite tracks him down. The two speak on the public spar match. Both find it an interesting opportunity, since Endymion grew up under Kunzite's teachings as a warrior. Jadiete eventually meets up with the both of them, noting some frustration with Endymion since this is not his first offense running off from the Earth Kingdom's protections within the palace. He wishes both men luck and goes on to his duties preparing the battle arena for the spar match, since all of the Earth Kingdom is invited.
Serenity attends the spar match, where many great warriors of Earth put their skills on display. Eventually Endymion and his top General, Kunzite, meet in battle. While Kunzite originally planned on throwing the battle to ensure Endymion's victory. Endymion asks for a sincere and honest fight. Both put their all into it, and Endymion ends up victorious. This is significant since Kunzite and the other Generals have promised Endymion the freedom to make any demand because of the victory.
Fresh from the battle, Endymion catches a glimpse of Serenity in the stands. He decides to flee the arena and follow her, interested in the fact that she is moving away from the arena when everyone else is trying to flood the exits to see Endymion and the other warriors. Serenity and Endymion eventually bump into eachother. Intrigued by Serenity not falling all over him and even trying to create some distance, he offers to escort her to Lake Kosuke—where she planned to spend her time quietly. Both talk about eachother, but Serenity guards her words carefully and keeps her identity secret. This only makes Endymion more intrigued by her. Eventually Serenity believes she's been there too long, but before she can leave the two are attacked by a bear that seems possessed. Endymion tries to protect her, but without his armor and weaponry, Serenity intervenes and heals the bear.
Endymion moves to Serenity's side to make sure she is alright after she collapses from the display of power. But, Serenity urges him to leave her and tend to a man who was injured by the bear. In that moment, Haruka disguised in a cloak takes Serenity back to the Moon, leaving her in back in her bed.
On the Moon [Part 2]:
The Inner Senshi try to bring cookies to Princess Serenity, and in doing so they discover she's missing. The quickly set out to find her—looking in the gardens, relaxation springs, even the figure skating area and surround palace grounds. They find nothing. It's Princess Mars who gathers her energies and conducts a fire reading that discovers Serenity on Earth. As the group talks with Luna on next steps, they are interrupted by a disguised figure. The figure insults the Inner Princesses for not being focused enough and alerts them to Princess Serenity being back at the Moon. Before any can challenge the statements, the figure leaves to meet with Queen Serenity. And, on schedule, the seamstresses arrive to fit all the Inner Princesses in their ball gowns. As the girls are getting fabrics adjusted and hemmed, Princess Serenity appears. She apologizes for not greeting them on arrival and calls for some tea to be brought in-- partially due to her own tiredness, but also that which she senses from Rei.
On Earth [Part 2]:
Endymion only catches a glimpse of Serenity being removed. Unhinged, he tries to intervene. A part of him is seemingly broken at his inability to protect her, even though she's a relative stranger. From her use of power and the crescent manifesting on her forehead, he knows she's from the Moon. He raves to Kunzite and Jadiete who were alerted to an attack in Lake Kosuke of the events— a mysterious woman, the bear attack, the woman being taken—all from a shirtless Prince with someone's blood on his hands and pants. Both Generals try to calm the Prince. But, upon inspection of the "attacked man" Jadiete sees no wounds, but a tattered shirt. Kunzite suggests the group go back to the Earth Kingdom where they can discuss the odd events further, away from the crowds of people who could take things out of context.
