While running to school, a plush cat falls from the sky and lands on her head. She puts the cat on a rail and continues to run to school. It stands up and observes her afterwards. Later when Usagi goes to bed to take a nap, she finds the plush cat waiting for her. The plush cat moves and talks to her, leaving Usagi scared. It introduces itself as Luna and tells her that she is a Sailor Senshi that must destroy a great evil that can only be destroyed by a princess. Usagi thinks it's all a dream and goes back to bed. Luna then leaves behind a cellphone, tells her to avoid the jewelry show at OSA-P, and leaves. After waking up Usagi goes shopping and gets the feeling that Naru was in danger and goes to the jewelry show. Luna sees her again and gives her the Heart Moon Brooch. Luna tells her to take a picture of one of the models. When Usagi does, she is disguised as the model. After this, she enters the show through the back entrance to the hall. The show finishes and Naru's mother comes up on stage to steal energy from everyone there. Usagi appears and tells her to stop. However, Naru's mother (who was a youma) starts to attack her. Luna tells Usagi to transform using the phrase "Moon Prism Power, Make Up!" Usagi follows her orders and transforms into Sailor Moon.
