"I have to say, I'm concerned, Your Highness..." Hotaru said with a sorrowful face. "Your condition should have improved, but you look horrible. You look like... how do I say this... as if you've been trampled under foot."
"Oh, really..." Usagi grumbled. "I can't imagine why..."
Saturn sighed. "I'm afraid I'm out of options... I have resort to a shock therapy!"
"Shock therapy?" Usagi asked in confusion. Then hope welled up within her. "Does that mean... I'll finally get some food?"
Hotaru smiled. "Oh no, don't worry about that..."
Turning to Neptune, she said: "3 more days of fasting!"
"MIIINAAAAAKOOOOOOO!!!"
----
"Minako, if you really want your transformation pen back, you better think of a way to get me out of here!" Usagi said in a very, very pissed-off tone of voice.
"D-d-don't worry, Usagi... I just got another idea," the red-bowed soldier grinned and left the tent.
Usagi folded her arms. "Hopefully," she grumbled.
Several minutes later, Michiru arrived at Usagi's bed. "Well, how's our patient doing?" she asked with a smile.
"I'm dying from hunger as good as I can," Usagi snapped.
Suddenly, the Senshi of Neptune felt something stirring under her feet. The earth... was moving?
"A... an earthquake?" she gasped.
And all of a sudden, she fell down, right into the hole that had appeared under her feet.
Two heads came out of the hole, a blonde and a turquoise-haired one.
Angrily, Neptune shook some earth out of her hair. "Minako, have you lost your mind? Why are you digging here, of all places?"
Minako giggled sheepishly and clutched her shovel. "Oh, Michiru... heh, heh... fancy meeting you here... I just dropped by by accident..."
Usagi groaned.
----
Later, after Neptune had left the tent and there was no trace left of the hole, Minako came back inside.
"Psssst, Usagi... it's me!"
"So I see..." Usagi muttered. "Well, did you come up with a better plan than digging this stupid tunnel?"
"Yes, I have... here, Usagi... take this!" And she shoved something into the queen's hands.
Instantly, Usagi's face brightened up. "A cupcake? FOOD? How very, very considerate of you, Minako-chan... I was STARVING!"
And she took a big bite...
"OOOOWWWWW!"
Minako gulped. "Well... I just wanted to say... there's a file in there!"
Usagi spit out a metal file, along with two of her teeth, and whined.
----
At Hotaru's next visit...
"Usagi, I really don't know what happened to your teeth... but never mind. How do you feel besides that?"
"I would feel much better if I would finally get out of here..."
Suddenly, they both perked up their ears, as a strange yell echoed through the tent...
"AAAAOOOOAAAAOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHH!"
And like Tarzan in the jungle, Minako came whooshing through the air, hanging from a rope, grabbed Usagi and pulled her with her, out of the bed.
Hotaru's reaction was a face-fault, followed by grabbing her trustworthy glaive, and cutting the rope in half.
THUD! THUD!
Minako shook her head. Usagi rubbed her bottom.
Clutching her glaive, the doctor of destruction stood in front of the two blonde girls. "Minako, I would like an explanation: What were you just doing with the queen?"
Minako giggled. "Um, just a few little exercises, to keep her body in shape... Nothing like a good workout, eh Usagi?"
"Usagi?" the odango'ed queen of Crystal Tokyo grumbled. "Why don't you just call me Jane...?"
----
"Minako, I'll give you one last chance to get me out of here... BUT IT WILL BE YOUR LAST ONE! GOT IT?"
"Of course, of course..." Minako muttered. "Trust me with this one... I came up with this plan with my magnificent mind after hours and hours of brooding... it can't fail!"
She turned around and shouted: "OH, URANUS..."
The short-haired Senshi medic came rushing in. "What? What happened?"
CLONK!
After letting out a soft groan, Haruka tilted over and fell down to the ground.
Minako grinned and put away her wooden club. "Quick, put on her fuku and stuff your pigtails in... and no one will recognize you!"
"What an ingenious plan..." Usagi sighed.
