(We see the outline of the city, as rain comes down with a POUR)

Chibiusa’s narration: We can’t kill her!

(Chibiusa hops Hotaru’s fence, her tongue sticking out a little in the effort, and she grunts “ohhh…” An arrow points out “this is how she always gets in” She lands on the ground with a THUD)

This time I can’t run away.

(Hotaru’s outline is shown)

No matter what she looks like, no matter what her destiny is…

(Chibiusa runs towards the house with a RUSTLE)

She’s still my friend!

(Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune look down surprised from the tree as Chibiusa runs toward the huge window of Hotaru’s house, through which she can see Hotaru lying unconcious)

(Their thoughts): Is that Sailor Chibi-moon?

(Hotaru is lying on the floor, she has fainted)

SUCH EPIC WOMANCING. I like that the manga felt the need to inform us that Chibiusa ALWAYS enters Hotaru’s place by HOPPING THE FENCE LIKE A BOSS visiting her secret girlfriend.  “No matter what she looks like, no matter what her destiny is, she’s still my friend” (FTR, in the manga Hotaru has massive scarring and freaky cybernetic implants implemented by her father because she is basically Cassandra Cain. Chibiusa saw them). I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
