(Christmas bells ring)
Commercial: (soft) ...Jupiter... Merry Christmas...
TV Show: And now, for the number one album of the week! Miracle-working pop princess Aino Minako has been skyrocketing up the charts since her debut and has proven to be a force to be reckoned with. Introducing the greatest of debut albums: "Imitation," by Aino Minako!
Crowd: Wow, it's Minako-chan!
TV Show: The album features nine songs, the most recommended being the second song, which incidentally is the title song "Imitation." Minako sings of the complicated feelings of a girl... (fade)
Minako: (sings in Engrish)
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender in mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
(song continues over burglary scene)
Thief: Get out of the way!
Store guy: Thief!
(song fades)
Minako:...Huh? Eh?
Artemis: I can't stoooooop!
Minako: Ooph! It won't come off! What is this!?
Artemis: Sorry about that! Please don't freak out. I'm Artemis. I've been looking for you.
Minako: What the--? The plushie is talking.
Artemis: ...Well, you might find this hard to believe, but...I'm not a toy.
Minako: A robot!
Artemis: ...Err, no.
Minako: Good afternoon! Good morning! Kyu-chan!
Artemis: Good morning! Kyu-chan! I'm not Kyu-chan either! (1) (sheepish) I got carried away...
(sirens)
Artemis: Huh? (to self) All right. (to Minako) This is perfect. Rather than explaining it to you in words, it'll be faster to just have you do it.
Minako: Huh? What?! No way! What is this?!
Artemis: Look, don't worry about it. Just do as I tell you.
* * *
Thief: (gasp gasp) I did it...I got away...Huh?
Sailor V: Santa will put a curse on you for robbing on Christmas Eve!
Thief: Who are you?!
V: The Senshi of justice, I am the beautiful sailor-suited soldier Sailor V!
Thief: I don't get it, but in any case, get the hell out of my way!
Artemis: Use your weapon! It's in your pocket!
(V throws badly several times)
V: ...Huh?
Thief: Stop playing around!!
(tree falls on him)
V: ...No way.
Artemis: Well...you did well for your first time. Guess pop-idols can be brave too.
V: Wow! To think that I have this power!
Artemis: Starting today, you are a Senshi.
V: ...A Senshi? Really? You said you were Artemis, right? Thank you. This might be the best Christmas present ever.
Act Zero
Ikuko: Usagiiii! Hurry and wake up! You'll be late! U-sa-giiiiii!
Usagi: I'm already awake!
Ikuko: Oh! That doesn't happen very often. Is something special happening today?
Usagi: ‘Course not. Even I wake up when it's time to wake up. I'm no longer a child, after all.
Shingo: Aino Minako's new single is coming out today.
Ikuko: Ohhhhhhh! Hahahah, you woke up because you were so excited! What a baby!
Reporter 1: ...over to Kurata-san, who is on the scene.
Kurata-san: It looks like this is another Sailor V-related affair. Last night before dawn, a man tried to break into a Juuban jewelry store in the Minako ward, but his efforts ended in failure with the arrival of Sailor V.
Usagi: Sailor V appeared again. She's so cool! I want to try it too! I'll transform and fight against evil!
Shingo: You really are a baby.
Ikuko: It happened in Juuban again? How scary! The jewelry robberies always happen near us!
Kurata-san: Because of the repeated crimes in Juuban and police failure to capture criminals, complaints towards the police department are on the rise.
Ikuko: That's right! The police station at the corner is being criticized because the robbery happened right in front of them. They should go, go, that police station! Go-ban? Go-Bangs? (2)

Sign: Please do not throw rocks or other things.
Juuban Police Station
* * *
Naru: Usagi, good morning!
Usagi: Ah! Naru-chan! What are you doing here?
Naru: I just wanted to stop by the police station around the corner.
Usagi: The police station?! Did something happen?
Naru: ...Well, you know that Mama owns a jewelry store, right? It's the only one in Juuban that hasn't had a break in attempt. That's why I'm worried. Plus, Mama's been out of town since yesterday because of work.
Usagi: I see. But that police station has such a bad reputation!
Naru: Really?
* * *
Akai: Let me go, man! Why should I have to put up with insults from a civilian!?
Kuroi: Akai! Calm down!
Akai: Someone tells us that we're stealing their tax money by being here, and you expect me to calm down!?
Kuroi: The minute a police officer raises a hand against a civilian, it's all over!
Akai: Son of a biiitch!
(door opens and tragic piano music plays)
Shirai: ...S-stop it.
Hanako: Shirai, don't overexert yourself, your body is weak!
Shirai: Akai...you must remember! We, the Juuban Police Station's Shitennou, are always on the public's side...
Hanako: Shirai-san! Shirai-san!
Kuroi: It's just anemia!
Akai: Aaaaarrrrrggghhhh!
Kuroi: (hands Akai a bottle labeled "Amitan 2000") They're your usual. Take these and calm yourself.
Akai: Nasty. Nasty. Nasty. Nasty! (3)
Hanako: (sniffles)
Kuroi: There there, Tamako. Don't cry.
Hanako: I'm Hanako! This is sexual harassment!
Akai: Nasty. Nasty. Nasty!
Kuroi: Ah! Is there something...you need?
Usagi: N-no...
Kuroi: Don't be shy. We are the policemen who call ourselves the Shitennou.
Naru: I-it's quite all right. Usagi, let's go!
Usagi: Okay okay!
Hanako: (cries) Even those girls don't like us.
Kuroi: And this is all because that jewel thief is still raging about as he pleases. Now that he's pushed us this far, we will surely...
Hanako: Arrest him!
Kuroi: Get revenge.
Others: Huh?
Kuroi: I will avenge everything.
Shirai: Heh.
Akai: This guy...is the scariest...
Hanako: ...Yeah.
* * *
Kanami: Ahhh, that police station. That place is terrible.
Momoko: Yeah, they call themselves the Shitennou when there's only four of them.
Naru: But, if the police are useless, what should I do? Of course, the best thing is to just ask Sailor V...
Usagi: That's it!
Others: Huh?
Usagi: Let's do it! We'll turn into Sailor V and guard Naru-chan's store!
Naru: Um...
(the three girls launch into daydreams)
Naru: Let's do it! Sounds like fun!
Usagi: Right, right?!
Kanami: Sounds awesome--plus, I've always wanted to wear that costume! I'd be Sailor K!
Momoko: Then, I'm Sailor M?
Usagi: Then, I'm Sailor Rabbit!
Naru: But that's not a letter!
Usagi: I want Rabbit!
Sailor A: (in Ami's daydream) I am the beautiful sailor-suited soldier, Sailor A!
Ami: Sailor A...
* * *
Motoki: Starting today, this is your new home. Pretty good, huh? I'll find you a bride someday too, okay? So what's your type? Do you like ‘em cute or totally hot?
(phone rings)
Motoki: Hello? Hina-chan?
Hina: I'm sorry I wasn't able to answer the phone earlier. What was it?
Motoki: Nothing important, it's just...did something happen to Mamoru? Well, he won't pick up his cell phone, and...well, he's not exactly the best company lately.
Hina: Hmmm. I think he's just been busy. He's moving into a new place. No, we're not fighting. It just seems like there's something he needs to do.
* * *
(Mamoru picks up the mask he has obviously cut out of a poster board)
Mamoru: (thinks silently) I really should stick one of the jewels I've stolen right in the middle of my mask and then never explain to anyone why I did it. Well, maybe later.
* * *
Naru: This is it. Come in.
Kanami: Wow! This totally feels like a place that would be targeted by robbers!
Usagi: Yes, yes! I'm getting excited!
Momoko: Me too!
Kanami: Let's go! Let's go!
* * *
Makoto: Why not?!
Real Estate Agent: Even if you had a co-signer, no apartment is going to allow a junior high student like you to live alone. Go home, go home!
Makoto: ...Is that so... (kick) Ow!
One: Now we know what's going down with the shop.
Two: We must report to the boss.
V: It's them. I knew they'd be targeting it.
Artemis: Since this is the last shop that they haven't attacked yet.
V: This time, we will make sure we catch them. We'll follow them to their hideout and catch their boss too.
Usagi: Ah! Aino Minako!!! Aino Minakooooooooooo!
V: How did someone discover my identity?! No! This is bad!
Artemis: Huh?! Ah--er... Minako, what about the hideout? W-wait?!
Kamen: So Sailor V is Aino Minako!
Usagi: I have to go buy Minako's new single! I'll be back soon!
* * *
One: Looks like the boss and the others aren't here yet.
Two: They'll be here soon, right?
(helicopter noises)
One: That sound...
Two: It's the boss! Line up.
One: Number One!
Two: Two!
One, Two: Lights on our Cutie Kenko!
Kenko: O-Kay. So, how is tonight's Invasion Formation looking, Killer-chan?
One: It's perfect.
Kenko: O-Kay. (English) Time is money. (Japanese) I don't want to waste time. Let's go. Action Formation!

Usagi: Thank goodness I was able to find it! These things should be bought the day they're released!
