CHAPTER 6 TREASURY AND AGENCY SECURITIES MARKETS ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS FOR CHAPTER 6 2. The following questions are about Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). (a) What is meant by the "real rate"? In terms of TIPS, the real rate is the coupon rate. This is discussed below. On January 29, 1997, the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued for the first time Treasury securities that adjust for inflation. These securities are popularly referred to as Treasury inflation protection securities, or TIPS. The first issue was a 10-year note. Subsequently, the Treasury issued a 5-year note in July 1997 and a 30-year bond in 1998. TIPS work as follows. The coupon rate on an issue is set at a fixed rate. That rate is determined via the auction process. The coupon rate is called the "real rate" since it is the rate that the investor ultimately earns above the inflation rate. The inflation index that the government has decided to use for the inflation adjustment is the nonseasonally adjusted U.S. City Average All Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) (b) What is meant by the "inflation-adjusted principal"? For TIPS, the inflation-adjusted principal is the principal that the Treasury Department will base both the dollar amount of the coupon payment and the maturity value on. It is adjusted semiannually. Part of the adjustment for inflation comes in the coupon payment since it is based on the inflation-adjusted principal. However, the U.S. government has decided to tax the adjustment each year. This feature reduces the attractiveness of TIPS as investments in accounts of tax-paying entities. Because of the possibility of disinflation (i.e., price declines), the inflation-adjusted principal at maturity may turn out to be less than the initial par value. However, the Treasury has structured TIPS so that they are redeemed at the greater of the inflation adjusted principal and the initial par value. An inflation-adjusted principal must be calculated for a settlement date. The inflation-adjusted principal is defined in terms of an index ratio, which is the ratio of the reference CPI for the settlement date to the reference CPI for the issue date. The reference CPI is calculated with a three-month lag. For example, the reference CPI for May 1 is the CPI-U reported in February. The U.S. Department of the Treasury publishes and makes available on its Web site (www.publicdebt.treas.gov) a daily index ratio for an issue. 123 (c) Suppose that the coupon rate for a TIPS is 3%. Suppose further that an investor purchases $10,000 of par value (initial principal) of this issue today and that the semiannual inflation rate is 1%. Answer the following questions. (1) What is the dollar coupon interest that will be paid in cash at the end of the first six months? In our example, the coupon rate for a TIPS is 3%, the annual inflation rate is 2%, and an investor purchases today $10,000 par value (principal) of this issue. The semiannual inflation rate is 1% (2% divided by 2). The inflation-adjusted principal at the end of the first six-month period is found by multiplying the original par value by one plus the semiannual inflation rate. In our example, the inflation adjusted principal at the end of the first six-month period is (1.01)$10,000 = $10,100. It is this inflation adjusted principal that is the basis for computing the coupon interest for the first six-month period. The coupon payment is then 1.5% (one-half the real rate of 3%) multiplied by the inflation-adjusted principal at the coupon payment date ($10,100). The coupon payment is therefore 0.015($10,100) = $151.50. (2) What is the inflation-adjusted principal at the end of the year? As seen in part (1) when computing the coupon payment, we find that the inflation adjusted principal at the end of the first six-month period is (1.01)$10,000 = $10,100. Given the semiannual inflation rate for the next six months we could compute the inflation-adjusted principal at year's end. Assuming the semiannual inflation rate remains at 1%, then we would get: (1.01)$10,100 = $10,201. The coupon payment would be 0.015($10,201) = $153.015. (d) Suppose that an investor buys a five-year TIP and there is deflation for the entire period. What is the principal that will be paid by the Department of the Treasury at the maturity date? With deflation, the inflation-adjusted principal would fall. However, the Treasury has structured TIPS so that they are redeemed at the greater of the inflation adjusted principal and the initial par value. Thus, the investor who buys a five-year TIP is promised the original principle amount at the maturity date. (e) What is the purpose of the daily index ratio? The purpose of the daily index ratio is to help compute an inflation-adjusted principal for a settlement date. An inflation-adjusted principal must be calculated for a settlement date. The inflation-adjusted principal is defined in terms of an index ratio, which is the ratio of the reference CPI for the settlement date to the reference CPI for the issue date. The reference CPI is calculated with a three-month lag. For example, the reference CPI for May 1 is the CPI-U reported in February. The U.S. Department of the Treasury publishes and makes available on its 124 Web site (www.publicdebt.treas.gov) a daily index ratio for an issue. Exhibit 6-1 in the text provides an example. (f) How is interest income on TIPS treated at the federal income tax level? For TIPS, the coupon payment is based on the inflation-adjusted principal. The U.S. government taxes the adjustment each year. This feature reduces the attractiveness of TIPS as investments in accounts of tax-paying entities. 4. Why do government dealers use government brokers? When government dealers trade with each other, it is through intermediaries known as interdealer brokers. They use interdealer brokers because of the speed and efficiency with which trades can be accomplished. Also, interdealer brokers keep the names of the dealers involved in trades confidential. The quotes provided on the government dealer screens represent prices in the "inside" or "interdealer" market. 6. The bid and ask yields for a Treasury bill were quoted by a dealer as 5.91% and 5.89%, respectively. Shouldn't the bid yield be less than the ask yield, because the bid yield indicates how much the dealer is willing to pay and the ask yield is what the dealer is willing to sell the Treasury bill for? The higher bid means a lower price. So the dealer is willing to pay less than would be paid for the lower ask price. We illustrate this below. Given the yield on a bank discount basis (Yd), the price of a Treasury bill is found by first solving the formula for the dollar discount (D), as follows: t D = Yd(F) . The price is then price = F – D. 360 For the 100-day Treasury bill with a face value (F) of $100,000, if the yield on a bank discount basis (Yd) is quoted as 5.91%, D is equal to: t 100 D = Yd(F) = 0.0591($100,000) = $1,641.67. 360 360 Therefore, price = $100,000 – $1,641.67 = $98,358.33. For the 100-day Treasury bill with a face value (F) of $100,000, if the yield on a bank discount basis (Yd) is quoted as 5.89%, D is equal to: 125 t 100 D = Yd(F) = 0.0589($100,000) = $1,636.11. 360 360 Therefore, price is: P = F – D = $100,000 – $1,636.11 = $98,363.89. Thus, the higher bid quote of 5.91% (compared to lower ask quote 5.89%) gives a lower selling price of $98,358.33 (compared to $98,363.89). The 0.02% higher yield translates into a selling price that is $5.56 lower. In general, the quoted yield on a bank discount basis is not a meaningful measure of the return from holding a Treasury bill, for two reasons. First, the measure is based on a face-value investment rather than on the actual dollar amount invested. Second, the yield is annualized according to a 360-day rather than a 365-day year, making it difficult to compare Treasury bill yields with Treasury notes and bonds, which pay interest on a 365-day basis. The use of 360 days for a year is a money market convention for some money market instruments, however. Despite its shortcomings as a measure of return, this is the method that dealers have adopted to quote Treasury bills. Many dealer quote sheets, and some reporting services, provide two other yield measures that attempt to make the quoted yield comparable to that for a coupon bond and other money market instruments. 8. Answer the following questions for a treasury auction. (a) In a Treasury auction what is meant by a noncompetitive bidder? A noncompetitive bidder is a bidder is who is willing to purchase the auctioned security at the yield that is determined by the auction process. More details are supplied below. The auction for Treasury securities is said to be conducted on a competitive bid basis. However, there are actually two types of bids that may be submitted by a bidder: noncompetitive bid and competitive bid. A noncompetitive bid is submitted by an entity that is willing to purchase the auctioned security at the yield that is determined by the auction process. When a noncompetitive bid is submitted, the bidder only specifies the quantity sought. The quantity in a noncompetitive bid may not exceed $1 million for Treasury bills and $5 million for Treasury coupon securities. A competitive bid specifies both the quantity sought and the yield at which the bidder is willing to purchase the auctioned security. (b) In a Treasury auction what is meant by the stop-out yield? In a Treasury auction, the results are determined by first deducting the total noncompetitive tenders and nonpublic purchases (such as purchases by the Federal Reserve) from the total securities being auctioned. The remainder is the amount to be awarded to the competitive bidders. The competitive bids are then arranged from the lowest yield bid to the highest yield bid submitted. (This is equivalent to arranging the bids from the highest price to the lowest price that 126 bidders are willing to pay.) Starting from the lowest yield bid (or highest price bid), all competitive bids are accepted until the amount to be distributed to the competitive bidders is completely allocated. The highest yield accepted by the Treasury is referred to as the stop-out yield (or high yield). Bidders whose bid is higher than the stop-out yield are not distributed any of the new issue (i.e., they are unsuccessful bidders). Bidders whose bid was the stop-out yield (i.e., the highest yield accepted by the Treasury) are awarded a proportionate amount for which they bid. For example, suppose that $4 billion was tendered for at the stop-out yield but only $3 billion remains to be allocated after allocating to all bidders who bid lower than the stop-out yield. Then each bidder who bid the stop-out yield will receive $3 billion / $4 billion = 0.75 = 75% of the amount for which they tendered. So, if an entity tendered for $5 million, then that entity would be awarded only 0.75($5 million) = $3.75 million. (c) In a Treasury auction what is meant by the bid-to-cover ratio? The bid-to-cover ratio is the total amount bid for by the public to the amount awarded to the public. More details are supplied below. Within an hour following the 1:00 P.M. auction deadline, the Treasury announces the auction results. Announced results include the stop-out yield, the associated price, and the proportion of securities awarded to those investors who bid exactly the stop-out yield. Also announced is the quantity of noncompetitive tenders, the median-yield bid, and the ratio of the total amount bid for by the public to the amount awarded to the public (called the bid-to-cover ratio). For notes and bonds, the announcement includes the coupon rate of the new security. The coupon rate is set to be that rate (in increments of 1/8 of 1%) that produces the price closest to, but not above, par when evaluated at the yield awarded to successful bidders. 10. In a Treasury auction, how is the price that a noncompetitive bidder must pay determined in a single-price auction format? A noncompetitive bidder is a bidder is who is willing to purchase the auctioned security at the yield that is determined by the auction process. This yield is the stop-yield. However, the price can differ slightly from par to reflect adjustments to make the yield equal to the stop-yield. More details are supplied below. Once the winning bidders are determined along with their allotment, the price can be set following the conventions of a single-price auction (because all U.S. Treasury auctions are single-price auctions). In a single-price auction, all bidders are awarded securities at the highest yield of accepted competitive tenders (i.e., the stop-out yield). This type of auction is called a "Dutch auction." Thus, all bidders (competitive and noncompetitive) are awarded securities at the stop-yield. The Treasury does not actually offer securities with a coupon rate equal to the stop-yield because it adjusts the coupon rate and the price so that the yield offered on the security is equal to the stop-out yield. This makes the yield a more common number (e.g., 3.025 becomes 3.000 and price can differ slightly from par. 127 12. Answer the following questions. (a) What is meant by coupon stripping in the Treasury market? Coupon stripping, in general, refers to detaching the coupons from a bond and trading the principal repayment and the coupon amounts separately, thereby creating zero coupon bonds. The Treasury does not issue zero-coupon notes or bonds. However, because of the demand for zero-coupon instruments with no credit risk, the private sector has created such securities. The profit potential for a government dealer who strips a Treasury security lies in arbitrage resulting from the mispricing of the security. More details are given below. To illustrate the process of coupon stripping, suppose that $500 million of a 10-year fixed- principal Treasury note with a coupon rate of 5% is purchased by a dealer firm to create zero- coupon Treasury securities. The cash flow from this Treasury note is 20 semiannual payments of $12.5 million each ($500 million times 0.05 divided by 2) and the repayment of principal (also called the corpus) of $500 million 10 years from now. As there are 11 different payments to be made by the Treasury, a security representing a single payment claim on each payment is issued, which is effectively a zero-coupon Treasury security. The amount of the maturity value for a security backed by a particular payment, whether coupon or corpus, depends on the amount of the payment to be made by the Treasury on the underlying Treasury note. In our example, 20 zero-coupon Treasury securities each have a maturity value of $12.5 million, and one zero- coupon Treasury security, backed by the corpus, has a maturity value of $500 million. The maturity dates for the zero-coupon Treasury securities coincide with the corresponding payment dates by the Treasury. (b) What is created as a result of coupon stripping in the Treasury market? As discussed in part (a), a zero-coupon Treasury security results from the coupon stripping in the Treasury market. 14. What is the federal income tax treatment of accrued interest income on stripped Treasury securities? Interest income from Treasury securities is subject to federal income taxes but is exempt from state and local income taxes. A disadvantage of a taxable entity investing in stripped Treasury securities is that accrued interest is taxed each year even though interest is not paid. Thus these instruments are negative cash flow instruments until the maturity date. They have negative cash flow because tax payments on interest earned but not received in cash must be made. 128

D.C. Voucher Program at Center of Fiscal Fight (Again)
The voucher program, which provides low-income students with up to $12,000 for use at private schools, is no stranger to testy funding battles.
The voucher program, which provides low-income students with up to $12,000 for use at private schools, is no stranger to testy funding battles.
A new schedule would send the Republican-backed No Child Left Behind rewrite to the floor for debate Wednesday and Thursday, with a final vote scheduled for Friday morning.
The real star of the day, however, was Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, the Republican presidential hopeful who is spending the early part of this week in the nation's capital.
Tennessee parents whose children attend failing schools won't get vouchers to send them to private school after the governor-penned bill can't muster enough political support.
Lawmakers in Miss. and Tenn. vote down efforts to expand school choice, four new charters are approved in Connecticut, and other school-choice news from the week.
While the North Carolina voucher program makes its way through the legal system, lawmakers in Alaska and Indiana debate voucher programs there.
Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Indiana all have proposals to provide vouchers for students who are poor or students with special needs.
Private schools accepting voucher- and tax-credit-scholarship students should be required to administer state tests to those students and disclose the results, says the Fordham Institute.
The program does not properly evaluate the academic performance of participating private schools and has over- and underpaid participating schools, the audit found.
A new lawsuit claims that the newly established voucher program in North Carolina violates the state's constitution.

Laurie from Brentwood, TN – Verified Buyer
I have owned many ceiling fans over the years and this is by far my favorite one. The air flow is fantastic and it is gorgeous. It looks expensive with the hammered motor and with the decorative roping. I read that it had a twisted down rod but that is if you order them separately, I believe. The two that were included were just standard straight ones. It also came with an extra security measure to screw into the joist. Definitely recommend.

AACD Launches
Posted on June 16, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (4/30/14)—The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) has launched "The Smile Story Contest" that will enhance the smiles and change the lives of up to five lucky people, while raising awareness about the benefits of cosmetic dentistry.
The Smile Story Contest launched April 30 at AACD 2014 in Orlando, the Academy's 30th anniversary scientific session. Entrants will submit their smile story telling why they deserve a new smile, plus a photo, at www.yoursmilebecomesyou.com. A public voting period, June 11-June 30, will allow entrants to ask their friends, family, and social networks to vote for them. The top 20 will meet with a participating AACD dentist for a treatment consultation, and then a panel of dental professionals will select up to five winners, who will be announced in September through AACD's Facebook page. The winners will have a chance to show off their smile makeovers onstage at AACD 2015 in San Francisco, the Academy's 31st annual scientific session, for the big reveal.
All AACD Member Dentists and Laboratory Technicians are invited to participate. For more information about becoming an AACD makeover smile designer, visit www.aacd.com/contest. Dentists and laboratory technicians have until June 27 to indicate their interest.
"Recent AACD research has shown that a smile can help make a great first impression," said Dr. Bill Dorfman, AACD Accredited Fellow and celebrity dentist who announced the launch of The Smile Story Contest in Orlando. "But sometimes that smile isn't telling the whole story. Through this contest, AACD Member dentists and laboratory technicians will help our winners write new smile stories, while giving them the smiles of their dreams. AACD helps change lives, while spreading awareness about the benefits of cosmetic dentistry and responsible esthetics."
The Smile Story Contest is part of AACD's Your Smile Becomes You campaign to raise awareness of the benefits of cosmetic dentistry and working with an AACD dentist. The contest's host website, www.yoursmilebecomesyou.com, also offers a Smile Analyzer, information about cosmetic dentistry procedures, patient education videos, a Smile IQ Quiz, a Smile Gallery, and much more.
The contest is supported by Ivoclar Vivadent's IPS e.max, Ivoclar's all-ceramic system for crowns, inlays, onlays, thin veneers, abutments and bridges. The product has been used in more than 75 million restorations in 6,000 North American labs.

The game of fashion musical chairs continues! Nicolas Ghesquière is the latest designer to make headlines with his departure from Balenciaga. WWD reports that it was a "joint decision to end their working relationship," which is effective November 30. Ghesquière has been the French label's creative director since 1997 and surely leaves big (and stylish) shoes to fill.
See Ghesquière's last Spring 2013 runway collection, here.

The location is wonderfully remote, comfortably placed in the woods, yet still close enough to a variety of towns that make shopping easy. There are plenty of excellent outdoor activities in the area, too.
The apartment is neatly kept, quaint and comfortable. If you are looking for simple lodgings for a getaway of any kind, do consider stopping in here.
My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our night at Laughing Pig Farm. We're from Boston and loved the remote location, beautiful scenery and animals! All of the ducks, geese, goats, the dog, chicken, rooster and bunnies were wonderful to have around. I even got to hold a 1 1/2 week old bunny ... That made my day!
Ellen and her husband were very warm, friendly and hospitable. Our room was spacious and very clean. We cooked dinner and breakfast in the apartment kitchen (the duck eggs they left us were delicious!).
A lovely stay.
Ellen and her family are very warm and friendly. Her 8 year old daughter was a wealth of information about the farm animals and our 3 and 5 year old boys are completely smitten with her! We had a great time at the Laughing Pig Farm - we got to get up close and personal with all the animals. We got to hold little bunnies and feed ducks, geese, chickens, rabbits and goats! Our boys loved waking up early each morning to chase the animals! The area is very safe and the boys could run around without us feeling the need to supervise them the whole time. We also learned a lot about animals and raising farm animals that we didn't know before. The accommodations were very comfortable. Ellen stocked the kitchen with everything we could possibly need and more. The space is one big cozy room with 2 beds (3rd bed optional), one corner is the kitchen and a separate bathroom with a shower. The space is clean and very nicely renovated. There was plenty of space for the boys to run around indoors, but mostly, they looked forward to running around outside with the animals. We also made a campfire each night which was a a fun new experience for our city boys. If you or your family are looking for a laid back getaway and getting up close and personal with nature (and animals), this is the place for you! We are hoping to make another visit one day!
My mom came to visit me in NY and we decided to travel. When we saw this gem on airbnb I was sure I wouldn't be disappointed. And we were absolutely right! We stayed here for 6 WONDERFUL days during winter. The apartment was super cozy and well equipped. Comfy bed, huge bathroom, fully equipped kitchen and very spacious. We cooked all our meals there.
Ellen, Jason & kids & pets were all awesome and made ourselves feel at home :).
They left fresh eggs, bread, apples, spices, etc upon our arrival - so sweet and thoughtful!
The place is really close to Bridgton (about 5/10min with car), and 15 minutes from Shawnee Peak mountain, were we went skiing a couple of days.
We are DEFINITELY coming back, hopefully during spring or summer next time.
Totally recommend this precious gem in Maine.
We really enjoyed our time at Ellen and family's airbnb. We spent 2 nights there in January, and it was a simple cozy get-away in the Maine winter. We enjoyed hiking through the snow to the nearby Holt Pond Preserve. The small kitchen was great - stocked with oil/vinegar, choice spices/herbs (and we even used a little fresh basil from the plant near the window), and she left us english muffins/milk/eggs. Katie the dog warmed up quick enough, loved the friendly goat posse. Bring warm layers in the winter, groceries. Compost is in the freezer (we didn't realize until leaving).
Ellen is a great host! Due to the snow storm, we expected to arrive at 11PM. Ellen called us and told us not to rush. It was such a long drive, and everyone was exhausted. When we finally arrived, Ellen was there to greet us.
The room is cozy and spacious. The kitchen is fully stocked. It has everything you need: orange juice, milk, eggs, oil, etc. The beds are comfortable. Bathroom is huge. The room faces the lawn, and we felt delightful to see the snow-covered lawn in the sunny morning. We cooked lobster omelette and fried rice for breakfast using the fresh eggs that Ellen provided. Ellen's cat even came down and played with us. We wished we could stay longer.
About the Host, Ellen
Homesteading/schooling mom at Laughing Pig Farm. Life is learning, and we learn a lot here on the farm. My family and I really enjoy hosting on Air BnB, especially because we get to meet people from all over the world without leaving the backyard. This is great while the kiddos are young, as they get older we plan to do our share of world travel. My husband, Jason, is a musician and IT person, as well as our resident handy man.

TRANSCRIPT FOR Sailor Moon - Episode 61: "Naughty 'N' Nice" (Darien has been staying away from Serena, but it doesn't stop her from dreaming of that day when they would be together forever.) Serena "Oh, we're finally married. Oh Darien, I can hardly believe it. I feel like the luckiest girl alive." (She's talking in her sleep.) Serena "Oh wow. Look at all these gifts." (Then she wakes up.) Serena "Huh? Huh? Oh, I thought it was for real. Oh…" (Then she gets an odd feeling.) Serena "What's that?" (She switches on the lights.) Serena "OH! THAT FUNGUS IS IN MY BED AGAIN!" (Rini had snuck into her room and is now sleeping near where Serena's feet had been. Though Luna is awaken by the screaming, Rini is still sleeping.) Rini "No, Mommy. I wanna sleep some more, huh?" (Serena throws the blanket out from over her.) Serena "OUT OF MY BED, YOU LITTLE SPORE! NOOOOOW!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (The wise man from the Negamoon pays Rubeus another visit.) Wise Man "I've had another vision, Rubeus. The Moon Beam will appear again today near the Tenth Street bridge. So will the crystal. I want that girl and the crystal captured. Understand?!" Rubeus "I'll put the sisters right on it, wise man. We'll complete our work by day's end." Wise Man "You better, before I run out of patience!" Rubeus "We'll all be glad when we can leave this prehistoric dive and get home. And by the way, wise man, how are things in the future? Have you conquered any more Crystal Points there?" Wise Man "No, we haven't. It hasn't helped that you failed to capture any Crystal Points yourself." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Now we see what's really going on. A thousand years after the fall of Queen Beryl, an offshoot of the Negaverse known as the Negamoon launches an attack the likes of which have never been seen before. Numerous ships like the ones Rubeus and the sisters are in surround the city of Crystal Tokyo, apparently a new center of peace like the Moon Kingdom was in the past.) Rubeus "I don't understand. I thought the fight was going better." Wise Man "It was, until we decided to launch an all-out attack on a Crystal Point near the royal palace. We've never encountered such resistance. Our forces were held off by a strong energy force field. We couldn't even get close." Rubeus "An energy force field? Coming from where?" Wise Man "Not 'where?', 'whom?': four female warriors sworn to defend Crystal Tokyo and protect the royal family." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Guess whom.) Rubeus "Strong female warriors? Sounds mighty familiar. They must be the Sailor Scouts of the future. We've had problems with them here, too. They always show up at the wrong moment and blow us right out of the water!" Wise Man "Get rid of them, Rubeus! Right here, right now, in the past! We don't need their interference in the future!" (And he disappears.) Rubeus "Hmm…the sisters are going to enjoy this assignment. They've been waiting to get even with the Sailor Scouts for a long time." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Serena is being punished for waking up the whole house (and probably the next door neighbors) by having to do Sammy's chores as well as her own.) Sammy "Ha ha ha ha ha. Double chores again. I love this. Since Rini's been here, I never get in trouble anymore." Serena "Why don't you keep your big mouth shut, Sammy?! You know, you could move out and give Rini your room." Sammy "I'd love to, but where would I go, Serena?" Serena "You could go stay over at Bobby's." Sammy "Nah, it's way cooler watching you get in trouble." Serena "I'll give you ten dollars!" (They both stop when they hear the door.) Serena & Sammy "Huh?" (Rini is leaving.) Serena "Rini, where are you going?" Rini "Hmm…where I'm wanted." (And she runs away.) Serena "Hey, you come back here!" (Rini's long gone already.) Serena "Now where is that brat going?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Rini runs down the street, holding tight to her magical Luna Ball.) Rini "I hate this place. I want my mommy." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Later…) Serena "Get real, Luna." Luna "Come on, Serena. She wouldn't have run off like that if you were nicer to her. Oh, just think. She's out there all alone, thinking nobody cares about her." Serena "And no one does, the obnoxious brat. I'm going shopping." Luna "Didn't you already spend your allowance at the arcade?" Serena "Ooh!" (Luna's right. She's broke.) Luna "Anyway, what if Rini does that weird Moon Beam thing again?" Serena "Oh. Oh, so why don't YOU go track her down, Luna? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You call me on the communicator as soon as you find her." Luna "Because she's not my responsibility. Now, I trust you to do the right thing, Serena. We both gotta look for her." Serena "Maybe she'll come back on her own." (Luna is already starting off…) Luna "Well, that'd be great, but we can't count on it, so let's go. We gotta find her and make sure she's okay." Serena "Okay, I'm coming." (She just sits there and sighs.) Luna "Why are you still sitting there? MOVE IT!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (At the steps to the Tenth Street bridge, Rini sits down.) Rini "It can't be her, kitty. Serena hates me, but my real mommy loves me tons. It's gotta be someone else." "Where are you, Mommy? Please tell me. Can I come home? Oh…" (She remembers her past life in Crystal Tokyo.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (She remembers a time when no one was with her.) Rini "I'm so lonely, Mommy. Huh?" (Her mother was always there to give her reassurance.) Rini "Oh Mommy, I love you so much." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Her thoughts return to now.) Rini "I know it's important I be here, but nobody wants me around. Can't I come home without the crystal?" (A Crystal Time Key hangs around her neck. It's the means by which she was sent into the past to retrieve the Silver Crystal.) Rini "Please, Mommy, they hate me here." (She remembers her instructions concerning the key…) Voice "This key gives you the power to travel in time-space, but it's dangerous if you use it too often, Rini." (Once, she had tried to use it to return home to the future, but instead it temporarily cancelled the gravity in a department store. Though it's risky, she'll try again if it means it can take her home.) Rini "I don't care if it's dangerous. I'm going! I'm going home to the future!" (She holds up the Crystal Time Key.) Rini "CRYSTAL KEY, TAKE ME HOME!" (Above her, a time portal appears, and Rini is drawn up towards it.) Rini "It's working! I'm going home!" (But the portal closes prematurely, sending Rini groundward.) Rini "AAH! OOF! Oh! I blew it, but I'll be there soon. I want my mommy." (Whenever Rini is in distress, a strange phenomenon occurs. The Moon Crescent on her forehead appears and radiates a beam skyward.) Rini "I wanna go home!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In another part of town…) Luna "The Moon Beam! Rini must be in trouble!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Back at the bridge…) Rini "Mommy, Daddy, I wanna go home!" (Serena and Luna know about the Moon Beam.) Bertie "What's wrong, little princess? Can't find your way home anymore? Ha ha ha ha ha ha." (Unfortunately, so do the Negamoon Sisters, and Bertie's already at the bottom of the stairs!) Bertie "Don't you worry. I'll take you home." (Recognizing her, Rini turns to run up the stairs, but…) Catsy "Back off, Bertie!" (Catsy's at the top!) Catsy "I saw the Moon Beam first. Don't try to run, you little nuisance. We've got you trapped." (The sisters close in.) Bertie "Ooh, lots of shopping bonuses for catching her." Catsy "I'm warning you! The brat's mine!" Bertie "Slow down, Cats. Your shoe's untied." Catsy "Nice try, but I'm wearing my four-inch pumps." Bertie "Ha ha ha ha ha…" Rini "Whaddya want?! You're scaring me! Please, just go away!" (Bertie and Catsy are almost upon her!) Bertie "So plaintive, I'm reduced to tears. Ha ha ha ha ha." (They would've gotten her…if the Luna Ball didn't choose this moment to roll in front of Bertie's feet.) Bertie "Me and the sisters' tears of joy." (Bertie steps on the ball and loses her balance. She tumbles backwards and lands flat several steps down.) Rini "I'm outta here!" (Rini takes off down the stairs, stepping on Bertie on the way down.) Bertie "SHE'S GETTING AWAY!" (Catsy is already jumping down.) Catsy "Ha ha ha ha ha. Asphalt taste good, sis?" (Catsy cuts off Rini's retreat.) Catsy "Stop right there! You're not going anywhere!" (The Luna Ball rears up and tries to get in Catsy's face, but she swats it away.) Rini "Kitty!" (Just then, a similar face jumps from behind Rini: Luna! She manages to knock Catsy down, but not before she's thrown against a chain-link fence.) Rini "Luna! Thank you!" (Rini makes a run for it.) Bertie "Ha ha. And how are you liking that asphalt?" (The Luna Ball follows Rini and bangs Bertie's head from behind in the process, making her kiss the pavement. Catsy and Bertie get up and powder their faces.) Catsy & Bertie "That little weasel! She's toast!" (They jump after Rini, leaving Luna bruised and battered on the sidewalk.) Luna "Run fast, little Rini." -------------------------------------------------- Commercial Break -------------------------------------------------- (It seems that Serena was supposed to meet the other girls.) Raye "Come on, you guys. An hour's long enough! I'm sick of waiting for Serena!" Lita "Just a few more minutes." Raye "She's probably not even out of bed yet." Mina "Yeah, I'll bet Luna's just dragging her out now." (Speaking of Luna, Artemis sees something distressing.) Artemis "Huh? Luna?" (The girls turn and gasp. Luna is just now struggling to make her way to them.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (They quickly rush to her assistance.) Mina "What happened, Luna? You look terrible!" Luna "Two of those weird sisters from the Negamoon were after Rini." Raye "Why didn't you call?" Lita "We would've come!" Luna "There wasn't enough time. It all happened so fast." Artemis "Where's Rini?" Mina "We'll find her! Take good care of Luna, Artemis." (Artemis gently licks Luna's wounds while the girls rush off.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Outside a construction site…) Rini "Ooh, that looks like a good place to hide." (Serena is passing by. She turns just in time to see Rini disappear into a small hole in the safety wall.) Serena "Huh? That was Rini. Now what is she doing?" (Serena finds another entrance and heads inside. Inside, Rini heads for a portable safety barrier, little knowing that Serena is nearby, behind a stack of girders.) Rini "No one around. We'll be safe here." (Serena, seeing Rini, quickly ducks behind the wall on the opposite side and listens.) Rini "It's gonna be okay. I'm scared, too. I should tell Serena I'm here, but she doesn't care. Nobody cares, and those horrible ladies are after me." (Serena hears her crying, and then she hears somehting strange. Rini presses on the nose of her Luna Ball. The right eye becomes a video screen.) Rini "What should I do, Luna Ball?" Voice in Ball "Hi, Rini." Rini "Hi." Voice in Ball "What's the matter, pumpkin? You been crying?" Rini "I'm so lonely." Voice in Ball "But Rini, honey, you've made a lot of nice friends here." Rini "I'm scared. Weird ladies are chasing me." Voice in Ball "From the Negamoon. They want to change the future so they can take over Crystal Tokyo." Rini "But what am I supposed to do? I haven't found the Crystal or my mother." Voice in Ball "You're going to have to keep trying, Rini. I know it's tough for such a little girl." Rini "Yeah, but Serena, the girl I've been staying with, totally hates me." (Tears are in her eyes.) Rini "I can't stand it anymore. Can't I come home without the Crystal? I miss everybody so much!" (She starts crying again.) Voice in Ball "No, Rini. It's safer for you to be here, where the Sailor Scouts can protect you, like they do in the future." (She stops crying. This was something she didn't know.) Voice in Ball "Don't you remember, little princess? In the future, they're the female warriors who always protect you and are your loyal and true friends. Those warriors are the Sailor Scouts, the same ones who protect you here. They're fighting for a peaceful future, just as we are. You must put your trust in them and Sailor Moon. If you want to see your mother again, you must remain here." (The image blanks out, replaced by the eye, but the voice says some final words…) Voice in Ball "It's the only way." Rini "Don't go!" (Overhearing the conversation makes Serena think.) Serena "This must mean that Rini's a princess. Then her mother would be…" Catsy "FOUND YA, YOU LITTLE AMOEBA!" (Trouble! Big time! It's Catsy!) Catsy "You're not getting away from me this time! Now don't make me run my nylons chasing ya all over, 'kay?" (Serena quickly heads behind the girders again.) Serena "Rini! I gotta help her." "MOON CRYSTAL POWER!" (Serena transforms into Sailor Moon.) Rini "My mommy taught me never to go with strangers." Catsy "Is that so? Hmm. Come here!" Sailor Moon "Yo, maggot-breath!" Catsy "Hmm?" Sailor Moon "Leave her alone!" Catsy "Sailor Moon!" (This time, she makes her entrance a little poetic.) Sailor Moon "You got that right! In the name of the Moon, I will punish you! All your pretty lipstick cannot hide All the evil deep inside." (She jumps in front of Rini.) Sailor Moon "Come on, Rini. We're outta here!" Catsy "No, I don't think so. Neither do my sisters." (All four of them are here!) Catsy "Introduce yourselves, girls." Prisma "My name's Prisma." Avarie "I'm Avarie." Bertie "My name is Bertie." Catsy "I'm Catsy, the oldest. You're no match for us." Prisma "Give up…" Avarie "…before we have to hurt you." Bertie "Not a pretty sight." Catsy "We're the four sisters…" Sisters "…and we want that kid now!" -------------------------------------------------- Commercial Break -------------------------------------------------- (What a perdicament.) Catsy "You heard me! Hand her over! Four against one. You haven't got a chance." Sailor Jupiter "So let's even the odds!" (Everyone turns.) Sailor Jupiter "Guess you twisted sisters are gonna have to bust up a few fingernails." (It's…) Sailor Moon "The Sailor Scouts!" Sailor Mars "I am Sailor Mars!" Sailor Mercury "I am Sailor Mercury!" Sailor Jupiter "Sailor Jupiter!" Sailor Venus "Sailor Venus!" Sailor Moon "The Sailor Scouts!" Catsy "Well, well, well. Looks like we've got ourselves a showdown, ladies." (An even match if ever there was one. The sisters are more or less the Sailor Scouts' dark counterparts, equally matched in power.) (Catsy shoots her Dark Fire at Sailor Mars, but Mars uses her own Celestial Fire to halt its advance. Sailor Mercury dodges a watery assault by Bertie's Dark Water. Sailor Venus and Avarie stand facing each other. Avarie pulls out her whip, and Sailor Venus uses her Love Chain. Both miss. Prisma fires at Sailor Jupiter with her Dark Thunder. Sailor Jupiter dodges, but also misses trying to punch Prisma. The match is deadlocked, with no one able to score a hit. To one side, Sailor Moon watches, clinging tight to Rini.) Sailor Moon "They need my help, but I can't leave Rini." (She's about to get thrown into the fight, however, when energy bombs fly at her. She shields Rini as the bombs explode. The Scouts all turn to see. Sailor Moon has taken the brunt of the shock and is now in a bad state.) Rini "Sailor Moon! Can you hear me?! Sailor Moon, are you all right? Sailor Moon!" (The question is: who launched the bombs?) Rubeus "She will as soon as she gives up." (Floating above the site…is Rubeus. He has entered the fray himself!) Rubeus "Face it! You're no match for the power of the Negamoon! I've seen the future, and you're not in it!" Sailor Moon "Who are you and what do you want?" Rubeus "I am Rubeus, from the far side of the Negamoon. I live to see Crystal Tokyo ruled by the forces of the Negamoon." (SONG CUE: She's Got the Power) (He charges up another blast.) Rubeus "So may I suggest you hand the kid over. I really don't want to hurt you." (No answer.) Rubeus "Fine then. Taste the fire of the Negamoon!" (He releases his deadly payload, but Sailor Moon jumps, taking her and Rini out of the blast zone, but Rubeus just sends another salvo.) Rini "Sailor Moon, don't let them take me!" Sailor Moon "I won't!" (She recalls the time when Rini was alone in the park, but she ends up crashing into a wall.) Rubeus "Ha ha ha ha." Rini "Sailor Moon, wake up! Sailor Moon! Don't leave me!" Sailor Moon "She's a nice, sneaky little fungus. A major b -and she hogs my rat, totally spoiled, a bed…" Rini "Don't go! I need you!" Sailor Moon "…but something about her…oh, I just can't help liking the little spore." (She raises her hand.) Rubeus "Ready to go? Time's a wastin'! Ha ha ha ha!" Sailor Moon "Oh no you don't." (Amazingly, Sailor Moon gets up.) Sailor Moon "I'm not letting you or anybody take her. Do you hear me? Nobody takes her without facing me first. YOU'RE DUSTED, BUSTER!" (Just then, a rose marks the signature entrance of some help.) Tuxedo Mask "Bullying little kids! How low do you go, pal?! You just a schoolyard bully?!" Rubeus "Find out, cape boy!" (Rubeus launches Negabombs at him, but Tuxedo Mask jumps down from his high perch and lands next to Sailor Moon and Rini. Rubeus launches more energy bombs, but Tuxedo Mask throws roses at them, stopping them short.) Tuxedo Mask "Hey, Sailor Moon, this guy could use some Scepter therapy, don't ya think?" Sailor Moon "Sure could!" (She calls on the powerful Moon Scepter.) Sailor Moon "MOON SCEPTER ELIMINATION!" Rubeus "NO!" Sisters "Rubeus!" (The blast takes a lot out of Rubeus. He reappears floating above the site, in obvious pain.) Rubeus "We're outta here! Hurry up, sisters!" (The sisters all disappear.) Rubeus "We'll be back, Sailor Scouts!" (Rubeus soon disappears, too.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (After the fight is over, the Scouts and Tuxedo Mask all try to help Rini.) Sailor Moon "You sure you're okay, Rini? That was scary stuff. You were really brave, you know that? But we're gonna keep a closer eye on you. The weird sisters mean serious business, and they're bound to come back again, but the Sailor Scouts will protect you." Rini "You too?" Sailor Moon "Of course me too, me most of all." (Rini rushes and hugs her, crying.) Rini "Sailor Moon…you saved me. Those ladies were gonna take me away…before I even found my mom. I can't go back without the crystal or finding out who my mom is…but I don't want them after me anymore." (Rini cries on Sailor Moon.) Sailor Moon "Oh…it's okay. Go ahead and cry. We'll help you find your mother, Rini, and uh, we'll get you back to where you belong. I promise." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In the future, on the Negamoon, the wise man that guides Rubeus and the sisters contemplates the last fight.) Wise Man "I'm beginning to think this Sailor Moon plays an important role in all this. She could even be the key to the whole mission. And in that case, she'll have to be eliminated. Ha ha ha ha ha." (An image of the queen of Crystal Tokyo appears, and we finally get a glimpse of who Rini's mother is.) Wise Man "Wait a second. Of course. Why didn't I see it before? She looks like the queen of Crystal Tokyo. Then the child…she could be…HER DAUGHTER!" (THAT'S SERENA!) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This transcript was written by "Who Wants to Know?"
