Usagi is excited for her upcoming date with Mamoru, but as she prepares for their outing, she is attacked by a mysterious figure who ends up stealing her Pure Heart Crystal. This crystal is essential to the Sailor Scouts' mission, as it holds the power to create the Holy Grail.
While Usagi is recovering from the attack, Mamoru surprises her by bringing her a bouquet of roses. Despite her initial happiness, Usagi becomes jealous when she sees Mamoru talking to another woman at their school, the beautiful and popular Rei Hino (aka Sailor Mars).

The group heads to a nearby abandoned building to confront the thief, but quickly realizes that they are facing a formidable opponent.
During the fight, Sailor Jupiter attempts to protect Sailor Moon and ends up injured. This causes Sailor Moon to have a breakdown, as she feels like she cannot protect those she loves. It is at this moment that Mamoru arrives to offer her support and reassurance, saying that he loves her and will always be by her side.
With Mamoru's encouragement, Sailor Moon regains her strength and defeats the thief, retrieving her Pure Heart Crystal. She and Mamoru then reconcile and go on their date, with Usagi grateful for Mamoru's unwavering love and support.
