"Hey, girlie," Taro shouted from his bed. "Cheer up, okay? At least it's warm and comfy in here and we're lying in a nice bed instead on a muddy battlefield..."
"Listen, I'm only here because of a bad case of food poisoning..."
"Oh, I see..." Taro grinned. "You're on a diet, huh?"
Usagi sweat-dropped. "Well, that's one way to look at it..."
She then looked over to one corner of the tent, where a man with a mop and a bucket was cleaning the floor.
"Just how can I tell this soldier to bring me a glass of water?" she murmured. "He's just ignoring me..."
"Hey, relax, girlie," Taro grinned. "Just talk to him like you always do!"
Usagi thought about it, then nodded. "Right! I'll just do what I would do in the castle."
She snapped her fingers. "Waiter!"
Not too much later, Usagi was spitting out the dirty cleaning water that the angry man had splashed into her face.
Taro snickered. "There, now you've got your water, right?"
"Yes, but they don't serve it like this in the castle..." Usagi sighed.
----
Later, that evening...
Two beds farther, another soldier called Rex Raptor raised his head and took a sniff. "Say, Taro..." he murmured. "Don't you think it smells kinda sticky in here?"
Taro took a sniff as well. "Yeah, now that you say it... Kinda like stinky feet, right?"
"I washed mine yesterday," Raptor exclaimed. "Lemme see, perhaps it's yours..." He went over to the lower end of Pantyhose's bed and sniffed. "No, yours aren't stinky..."
Taro turned around his head with a growl. "Well, then there's only one person left..."
...
"I'M THE QUEEN OF CRYSTAL TOKYO!" Usagi screamed as Raptor jerked his head away from her feet in disgust.
"How disgusting..." he groaned.
"I don't care if you are the queen of Crystal Tokyo or the queen of the universe..." Taro grumbled. "But if you don't go and wash your feet, I'll give you a swift kick in your rear and you're outta here, got it?"
----
The following morning, Saturn came to check up on her patients.
"Doesn't look too bad," she nodded when looking at the results of Usagi's test. "I think you can leave this tent very soon..."
"That's good to hear," Usagi sighed in relief.
"I think you can eat what you want again... Although, you seem to be low on calcium..."
Usagi smiled. "But isn't calcium contained within fresh fruits?"
"That's right," Hotaru nodded. "Fresh fruit. Those contain much of it..."
"Does that mean I'll having fresh fruit for lunch?" Usagi asked hopefully.
"Well, in theory, yes... I'll take care of everything, don't you worry..."
----
At lunch...
Haruka came into the tent. "Okay, who ordered this bucket full of limestone?"
"I'm perfectly healthy..." Usagi muttered. "I'M PERFECTLY HEALTHY!"
----
"You wanted to speak to me, Your Highness?" Hotaru asked. "Is something wrong? You seem upset..."
Usagi glared at the Senshi of Saturn. "You told me I could eat anything I wanted, but I don't get anything at all. I want a hamburger, Sushi, and a biiig sundae, right NOW!"
Hotaru wagged her finger. "Now, now, Usagi... calm down! All this stress isn't good for your health."
"I'm perfectly fine, thank you very much! But if no one takes my order soon, I'm gonna go NUTS!!"
Hotaru sighed. "She relapsed... give her a tranquilization shot and let her fast for three more days..."
"NOOOOOOO!!!"
