Key Events

Chibiusa is gloomy over the same vaulting horse, and Kyuusuke teases her before staying late to practice on his own, only to freeze up as a childhood injury resurfaces. JunJun coaches him into the evening without success, then agrees to meet again the next morning. That night Mamoru, Usagi, Minako, and Makoto help Chibiusa by using Usagi herself as a stand-in horse, a session that collapses when Minako's encouragement makes Usagi bolt upright.

Come morning, JunJun cages Kyuusuke with a summoned bear, and sheer panic finally launches him clean over the horse. The moment he lands she strips his Dream Mirror and calls up the Lemures Tobikiri Dude, whose gusts fling Mars Flame Sniper back at the guardians. Sailor Chibi Moon vaults onto the airborne monster exactly as she would a box horse, slamming it down for Sailor Moon to destroy, after which the boy's mirror is returned and both children win their races at the festival.

Notes

The story is original filler with no basis in the manga. It leans on the running theme of the SuperS season, in which the villains prey on ordinary people chasing personal dreams, and turns Kyuusuke's small triumph over the vaulting horse into the beat that both opens and resolves the episode.
