In the place where time means everything and nothing at all, the Guardian of Time exists, protecting the gates to past and future. Of course her time is endless and she lives and devoting her being to watching the flow of the planet's inhabitance. Sailor Pluto, the senshi of time and space was protector, above all, to Princess Serenity in all her forms. Princess and future queen of the planet of Pluto she was destined to serve in Neo-Queen Serenity's court; forever shouldering the responsibility a lot would never know. This soldier of the gates and protector of time, also known as Setsuna Meioh, was bored.

(Sailor Pluto: Oh come on Middy! Give me a break! You try spending a century or two with absolutely nothing to do and then tell me you aren't bored!
Lady Midnight [aka Middy]: *twitches* Pu? Do you mind I'm trying to tell these nice people here a story.
Pu: *squirms* but it's soooo embarrassing! I made one mistake so sue me!
Middy: *sweatdrop and covers Sailor Pluto's mouth* Pu! You're giving the story away! Stop interrupting...*drags a kicking Pluto away*)

Yawning slightly Sailor Pluto continues her *cough* diligent watch over time and leans on her staff slightly. Her eyes fluttered trying valiantly to stay awake. Swaying unsteadily on the staff, the slightly snoring and drooling Pluto took no notice to the fact that her staff was quickly losing balance. By the time her eyes finally decided to reopen to the world, all she saw was the floor strangely rushing up to meet her...

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH--omphf!...owwie..."

(Middy: *snickers* The welder of time and space the one whom causes all hell to break loose at her mere presence...says owwie? *falls over to the floor laughing*
Pu: *smacks Middy over the head with her staff* Shut Up!
Middy: *rubs her head muttering about someone's fuka being on too tight*)

With as much grace as one gains over time Sailor Pluto pulled her face off the floor and rubbed it trying to dull the stabbing pain. Pulling herself up, she sat down sighing as she glanced around at the unchanged mist of time.

"There is nothing to do...

"All is peaceful, no evil plaguing the world, and the timeline is running on schedule...so what to do what to do?"

Standing with her brow furrowed the soldier snarled before beginning to pace, her time keys jiggling anxiously as she walked. Her brow furrowed deeper in though as she turned trying to find some amusement for boring life.

(Pu: *turns and glares at Middy* You...you grrr! You make me look like I don't have a life!
Middy: Pu?...You don't...
Pu: *sweadrop*)

Suddenly she looks up her features taken on a slightly crazed and mischievous grin. Straightening herself she points her time key forward into the empty space before her. In a grand gesture, she sweeps her arms outward and a door appears and opens at her command. Almost but not quite skipping she disappears and the grand doors close behind her. Inside Pluto's senshi fuka is replaced with her ceremonial princess gown. Tucking stray green hair behind her ear she stood at the Altar of Cronos.

The Altar of Cronos was Setsuna's glimpse into everyday life in all periods of time. The altar was a simple pond held together by smooth stones. Picking up a stone the princess of Pluto turned it over in her hands till it began to glow a bright white. Smiling slightly she dropped it into the pond and quickly gazed eagerly into the shallow waters. As the stone broke though the surface of the water, the ripples spread outwards till the entire pond was crystallized into a solid opal. Brushing her fingers against the center of the now stone pool the opal shattered and fell beneath the water again. There from the shattered pieces an image began to rise.

'OH! Mamoru-baka! Don't even try to talk to me if you can't say anything nice!' A petite blonde screeched at a tall ebony haired man.

'Odango-Atama, when you can prove that you can be of use to anyone, I'll be sweet enough to give you the cavities that the candy you eat hasn't already given to you.' The dark man bit back a mocking smile on his lips.

'Are you saying I am useless?!' The bun haired girl asked furious, her baby blue eyes flashing.

The man merely smiled and leaned against the arcade doors. 'It was you who said it. Not me.'

The small girl's face flushed bright red and she turned on her heel towards the arcade door...and ran ungracefully into the plastic...Holding back tears at the man's cruel laughter she ducked into the video game store.

Beneath the tears of her lashes she quietly whispered, her eyes full of her earnest and sincerity, 'I wish I had a prince whom loved me...and a princess whom could bring the real Mamoru to the surface...'

The image quietly faded as a teardrop hit the surface of the water.

"Oh Princess! Usa-chan, oh how horrible for you!" Setsuna's face was gently sad and another tear streamed from her eyes into the pool. She rested her elbows on the stone surrounding and calmly gazed into the pond as if the scene were repeating with a happy end instead.

Sighing softly, she brushed her fingertips against the surface of the cool water. An idea began to shape in her mind. Nibbling on her thumbnail she turned the thought over in her mind. 'If I awaken the past princess that sleeps within Usagi, maybe then that baka Mamoru-san will realize how precious she is to him.'

(Middy: *coughHALF-BAKEDIDEAcough*
Pu: *glares* Excuse you?
Middy: *blinks innocently*)

Determined Setsuna turned...and nearly fell flat on her face.

"GAH! Stupid dress!" cursing the overuse of fabric she pulled up her overflowing gown and swung her staff, opening the gates of time.

At her post, time slightly flickers as a new stream of time is born. A definite giggle of a certain senshi fills the lonely mist as the new stream of time strengthens following a new path and destiny.
