Disclaimer: I don't own RHPS.

A/N: Here I try to bring RHPS characters to the current era (meaning this era). It sort of takes place in an alternate version of the 'Revenge of the Old Queen' universe. Magenta was not murdered in this story. Of course, that's merely the set-up. It's really about her reaction to a more modern Earth...

I nearly understand why he did it.

Well, why he tried to do it.

The idea that his sister could've even thought of cheating on him was just too much. It's a shame I didn't have time to explain that it wasn't my fault. Not to mention my brain was still clouded with whatever De'Lordy had given me. Though explaining might've made no difference. I'd still cheated, however unwillingly, and my brother sort of had the right to try to gut me as a punishment. The legal system on the planet Transsexual is rather old fashioned. People are so busy partying that they don't have time for such things. Oh well.

After escaping my angry beloved, and that impressive ornamental sword he'd been waving at me, I decided to visit Earth. Nobody knew me there save for a hanful of fools too scared to rat me out. If Earth was the same place as it was three years previously I would be far safer than back home. I wouldn't be surrounded by armed bastards, in the least. Never had I seen an Earthling carry a weapon. They're too polite or fearful or something. There's a reason we call it 'mostly harmless'. Very rarely do you run into a serious threat there.

Anyway, I stole a cheap ship at the nearest spacedock. Ther

There's always something terribly tacking in the corner of a parking area. If you've got to steal something you should steal the cheapest thing so that nobody bothers trying to get it back - or so went my reasoning at the time. Though there's a reason people won't pay much for such ships. There's always a reason... I just didn't expect to find it out on a short, one-way trip.

In the least I'd ended up in the proper place space-wise.

The problem was the time. According to the ship's partially smashed dashboard the year was far latter than 1977. Quite a bit of time had passed. One of the first things I saw was an ugly sign they proclaimed 'Vote Trump/Pence 2016'. So the year was probably somewhere from 2015-2017. How awful. I really wasn't prepared for that.

Yes, I really had traveled in time. Yes, I really was astoundingly pissed off.
