Summary
The twenty-first episode of the R season sets aside the usual conflict for a beach getaway, with the guardians following Rei to the shore. The break turns into a rescue when Chibiusa goes missing, having discovered an infant plesiosaur on a volcanic island that is close to erupting.
Key Events
The group's holiday shifts into a hunt for the wandering Chibiusa, who has grown attached to the baby creature she found. Their search carries them out to the unstable island as its volcano threatens to blow, one of the few episodes to unfold entirely apart from the season's main plot.

Notes
DiC never dubbed this installment, leaving it among the handful of R episodes cut from that version, though Viz later included it. It is the only R episode with no villain on screen, with the Black Moon Clan merely referenced, and the only one in which Moon Princess Halation is used to shatter a rock. Chibiusa's name for the baby plesiosaur, "Kirin," became "Giraffe" in the Viz release, both nods to its long neck.
