"Hurry, Usagi... Saturn might come back any time..."
"Easy for you to say," the queen grumbled while struggling with Haruka's oversized fuku. "You could've chosen someone my size, could you?"
Suddenly, they heard footsteps.
"Oh, here she comes..." Minako said in a panic. "If she sees the empty bed... what should we do?"
"Don't panic," Usagi said. "We hide Haruka under the bed... and you climb into the bed so she only sees your hair. She will think you are me, and I'll tell her you're asleep... Nothing will go wrong!"
Shortly after, Hotaru came into the tent.
She blinked. "Haruka?"
"Everything's fine," Usagi's voice came from under the oversized medic's helmet. "I just made sure the patients are all right... the queen is already sleeping."
"Oh... that's fine, then! I guess I can talk to her later..." She turned around to leave.
Under the blanket, Minako let out a sigh of relief. That was close...
"Oh, and Uranus?" Saturn said and turned around her head.
"Y-yes?" Usagi stuttered.
Hotaru smiled. "You really should wear a better-fitting fuku, this one seems a little loose on you..."
----
After Saturn had left, the two blondes snuck out of the tent.
"Okay, Minako... you're playing the part of the patient I'm bringing to his surgery... and remember to act wailful and frightened, got it?"
"Yes, but... I hate to say it, can you really SEE with that oversized helmet? It totally covers your eyes..."
"Well, I really have some troubles... but that's the point isn't it? I mean, no one else will recognize me that way, right? Otherwise, our plan would fail pretty easily. Now let's go..."
And then she walked right into the wooden sign reading 'Sick Bay', that stood in front of her.
"Owie..." she whined and held her head.
"Um... but I think this is also a pretty good way leading to failure..." Minako sighed.
"Obviously, you're right," the queen grumbled. "Lemme think... AH! Now I got it! Bring me a stretcher, quick!"
Minako did so, and together, they carried the stretcher between them.
"Understood?" Usagi asked Minako, who was walking behind her. "Every time we reach an obstacle I cannot see, you slightly tilt the stretcher to the left or right, so I know which way I have to go... understood?"
"Yeah, of course! I'm not stupid, you know?"
They started walking.
"And remember, the RIGHT hand is the hand you use to sign orders."
"Yeah, yeah..." Minako grumbled.
After some time, she saw their first obstacle. "Watch out, there's an obstacle... Okay, I'll tilt the stretcher to the right..."
SPLASH!
"DAMMIT, MINAKO!" Usagi shouted out of the latrine pit. "I told you the right hand is the one you WRITE with!"
Minako giggled nervously. "So you found out... Looks like I'm left-handed... heheheh..."
