Whew! I told you not to eat all those bean burritoes!

I hadn't actually seen the SS season beyond the opening song yet when I bought this cel. But... well... it was a horsey! Horsies nice! And I could tell from the OP sequence that the horsey was important too, and in my childhood I had such a fondness for white flying unicorns (I rather prefer black ones now ), sooo...
Anime Lane had a ton of Pegasus cels all those many years ago. They just sat and sat and sat at the site, the poor cels. No one seemed interested in poor Pegasus at all back then. (Ah, for those days again!) So when a previous buyer flaked out and I had the chance to purchase a cel from the engagement scene in Stars I decided to pick up a Pegasus cel as well. I debated over two OP cels of Pegasus flying up into the camera, an OP cel of Chibi Usa holding Pegasus' head, and this cel-- and I ended up going with this cel since it was a full body shot. Not that I don't love this cel and all, but the chances of another Pegasus OP cel within my price range popping up again anytime soon-- I think there's a better chance of Endy-poo popping out of the manga and declaring his undying love to me.
Anyway, this cel is A-70. While you'd think there'd be oodles of cels from this long sequence flitting through the internet, so far I've only stumbled across one other. (and IMHO mine was much better. ) This comes from the SS season, episode 135, Fureau kokoro! Chibi Usa to Pegasus-- Sympathized Minds! Between Chibiusa and Pegasus. And we have spoiler warning!
This cel comes near the end of the episode. A lemure has taken possession of Pegasus and tries to corrupt the dream where he hides by offering Chibi Moon power over Pegasus. Chibi Moon refuses and helps Pegasus break free from the magic storm clouds that have gathered.
Once again, my scanner botched the colors-- although not so bad as in other scans-- making the cel appear darker then it actually is.

This is one of the few times where I really enjoy the pencil sketch that came with a cel I've bought. I think the sketch might be even better then the cel in this case. The special effects light bursting from Pegasus' horn as he breaks free from the cloud is just gorgeous. I wish that the light layer had been included with my cel, but it was probably animated by computer instead.
