For a change of pace, the Amazoness Quartet accompanies Needles Kane,
the head clown for the Dead Moon Circus, as he and his troop of midget
clowns take their ride, the ice cream van named Sweet Tooth, to the
local Gas-Up.

[This is an obvious plug - sharp-eyed viewers will notice that the
licence plate on Sweet Tooth reads "989 SDO"]

The girls get snacks and Big Gulps from the store, as the demented
midgets swarm around the van, pumping gas and polishing the chrome.  As
the girls exit the store, Ceres informs the others that Zirconia expects
them to do a mass dream mirror extraction at an upcoming community
dance.  The girls stroll up to Sweet Tooth for their ride back to the
circus, as Needles walks to the front of the van and pats the hood...

Needles:  Pop the hood!

The little clown with the wire-rimmed glasses flips an unmarked switch
on Sweet Tooth's dash, and the windshield wipers start going...

Needles:  [looking annoyed]  The HOOD?!

The little clown flips another switch, and an anti-vehicle rocket
launches from the front of Sweet Tooth, just missing Needles' head, and
destroys a wood-paneled station wagon parked nearby.  As the blazing
station wagon's car alarm whines, Needles glowers at the now sheepish
little clown through the windshield.  The girls watch as the wrecked
station wagon burns down to the rims...

Pallas:  Gee, I hope you guys are insured!

Elsewhere, Mina informs our heroines that she's taken a part-time job,
and Serena pipes up saying that she wants a job too.  Mina says that
she'd be happy to hook her up.  The other girls look rather dismayed as
they imagine Serena&     Mina working a job...

They imagine a scene from the "I Love Lucy" episode "Switching Jobs" -
where Lucy&     Ethel work at a candy conveyer belt that goes too fast for
them;  The stock footage is digitally altered so that the actresses
playing Serena&     Mina are in the place of Lucille Ball&     Vivian Vance.
Their cheeks are puffed out from the bon-bons they're hiding because
they couldn't wrap them fast enough.  Their manager enters the scene...

manager:  Well, you girls look like you're doing a fine job.  SPEED IT
UP, OTTO!!!

Serena&     Mina's eyes bug out as the conveyer belt REALLY gets going.
Now they have to throw bon-bons down their shirt fronts to get rid of
them, as the audience scream with laughter.

But the job Mina's talking about is just volunteer work, decorating the
local community center for an upcoming community dance.  The other girls
find themselves shanghaied into helping.

Little do they know that the disguised Quartet is also working in the
community center.

The gang of volunteers busily sets up the decorations in the center's
auditorium.  Serena is on a rafter 20 feet off the floor trying to tack
up a banner.  She can't get far enough out on the rafter because she's
afraid of the height.  Serena mutters, "OOoooooo!  'I must not fear,
Fear is the mind killer, Fear is the little death that brings total
oblivion!"  Raye drags her back off the rafter and tries to tack up the
banner herself.  But she too isn't much for heights either.

Suddenly a high, squeaky voice tells Serena&     Raye to stop screwing
around and hoist the banner.  It's Mina - she's been blowing up balloons
and taking hits off the helium tank.

Seeing the girls struggling with their fear, the disguised Juno&     Ceres
decide to help.  Using their skills as an aerialist and a high-wire
artist, the girls scale ropes and rafters like monkeys, and tack up the
banner with little effort.  Juno&     Ceres get applause from the other
volunteers.

Soon our heroines and the disguised Quartet are helping eachother with
the projects.  Amy&     Pallas direct overall efforts, Mina&     Ceres arrange
flowers together, Raye&     Vesta hang streamers, and Lita&     Juno use their
strength together to winch up a sign.  With the work all done, they
break and have a lunch of sandwiches and tea, like a group of new
friends.

On the night of the dance, all of the girls return to the auditorium to
work at the refreshment tables, coat checks, and help the DJ.  As the
dance goes on, the disguised members of the Quartet ask their new
friends about their dreams for the future.  Mina says she wants to be
star, an idol of millions.  Raye wants to be successful in business.
Lita wants her own restaurant.  Amy wants to follow her mother and
become a pediatrician.  Serena just wants to marry Darien, and have a
little girl of her own.  [Serena&     Reenie smile at eachother knowingly]
The disguised Quartet members say that they think that those girls are
so sad in wanting to grow up.  They say that they never want to grow up.

Now with the dance in full swing, it's time for the Quartet to do the
job they came to do.  Transforming into their circus costumes, the
Quartet wheels out a prop cannon that fires, and knocks out all the
dancers' dream mirrors.  None of them is the golden mirror.

The girls were not effected by cannon blast, and transform into the
Sailor Scouts to confront the Quartet.  The Quartet summons a electric
catfish lemure, and the battle is joined.  With Sailor Moon&     Teenie
Moon dealing with the lemure, the Quartet and the other Scouts square
off against eachother;  Jupiter brawls with Juno, Venus fights Ceres,
Mercury chases Pallas, and Mars&     Vesta duel with eachother.

Finally, Sailor Moon&     Teenie Moon destroy the lemure, and the rest of
the Quartet escapes.

On the other side of the mirror, Queen Neherenia receives the news of
the Quartet's last failure rather pragmatically...

"There isn't much time left.  The Earth is to be mine.  If they don't
succeed soon, I will have to do it myself."

She looks up to see an unconscious figure suspended in some kind of
web-like material.  The figure is Elios, the winged unicorn's human
form.
