Sailor Moon - Doctor Who

Crossover

Characters: Setsuna, Minako?, Jack?, the Doctor

Sum: Setsuna is itching to get out, she's been staring at mirrors for too long, its making her eyes hurt. Then comes a curious sound.

Chapter 2

AN: 10th doctor? 11th doctor? That is a conundrum. When I started writing this one, I didn't really have a specific doctor in mind for this fic, at least between the two of them. They have similarities I feel, especially between the two and not the 9th. So to sit down and figure that one out, gave me a headache again. So we're going to go with an apology. It might be a mix between the two of them, and I don't mean to, I know they're different and I have a personal preference, but we're going to say its the 10th at least for now. Somewhere when he was traveling alone after Rose and Donna and maybe even after Martha. Has to be after Rose, considering if Jack might make an entrance, Rose would have needed to happen. Though I've always wondered how Jack never saw previous doctors after the Rose incident, considering he went back and forth in time all the time in Torchwood. Hmm... just like the moon landing thing with the 11th doctor... Oh well! These are things for message blogs and discovering in the course of the story, not in an AN, though I just thought I'd let you know where my head is at. (Spinning in circles, actually). I'll be sure by the time you've read the chapter though...

AN2: I apologize for the previous chapter being so short. I was trying to see where everyone was with this story and if it might have a future. I also didn't want to revel the doctor quite yet, even though everyone knew it was coming. Hopefully there'll be some things for you guys to have not guessed in this next chapter.

Special note: to ( ) um... I know that, I'm taking the original Sailor Moon canon and tweaking it. In this story, Sailor Moon can travel to the farthest reaches of the galaxy but chooses not to, she could also go a lot further than that. A lot of people from those places have come to her as well. As for going into the center, I'm leaving that up in the air, for it doesn't really matter in this fic whether it follows the manga or the anime. As for Pluto, yeah I know she loves Princess Serenity, but I'm giving her an additional reason to love Serenity as well. It would be awfully boring if you only got to see the Moon and maybe the other planets in the solar system for many millenniums, and having to follow one princess at a time with perhaps a few quick glimpses into the future. Who wouldn't love an adventuresome princess after that? Even if it is only to Earth, but it is so different from the Moon, and even the other planets, that Pluto loves her princess even more. As to finishing off Sailor Moon... that's happened in other fics? By the Doctor? Personally, I believe he'd love to see another protector of the Earth, and one as pure as Usagi. Especially if he found out who Mamoru was. Though one of my favorite crossover fics between these two is the one where the crystal is a sentient being that needs another host. It's just so eerie and awesome!

When the whirring settled down and in her vast space, amongst all the mirrors of a future of a princess she protected with more than just duty motivating her, was a strange blue box. She'd never seen anything of the sort. The writing was in English and she was able to read it, because she was that awesome, and because Minako had spent a great many years in England, and she had been able to pick up the language through those interactions in the mirror. Though it was Minako's English, so Pluto had to believe it was faulty. So she'd also supplemented it with watching Mamoru and his time in America.

Did she forget to mention? In some versions he'd actually managed to make it there. There hadn't been the coincidence of: just as he was on a flight out of the country, he was taken care of by an enemy who would insure that his return would be impossible. He couldn't just be out of the country, he had to be abducted and no knew about the plane that never made it to its destination. Usagi of course wouldn't know the plane number that her fiance was on, nor Motoki. Pluto rolled her eyes. Sometimes she thought the sisters of mischief, irony, and distress really had their work cut out for them.

So she read quickly what was written on the blue box just slightly taller than she was. It said 'Police Box'.

The door burst open and a strange man was there as well, and he was talking over his shoulder at someone inside. "That, my lovely girl, is exactly what I'm talking about!"

There were suddenly two sounds. A whack and a heavy thud. Pluto looked down at the staff that rested in her hand and gave it a slight bounce, like Makoto did with her fist in her other hand. She smiled at it pleased. It really did wonders with her reach and was really quite solid. She'd never give this up, oh no she wouldn't. Then she looked down at the unconscious man, before looking back at his blue box. Light was coming out of it, but there was no girl following him out. Maybe the girl was wise enough to stay inside where it was mostly safe. Pluto would have to keep an eye on the door to be reassured for the future.

Pluto had more than one occasion where she'd been knocked out because someone decided to come through the time gate, the ones she couldn't monitor, they weren't her charges. Some people had discovered ways around her gates, and what she'd see in the future, but not letting their decision to enter those futures be known until after they were already through. Sometimes they weren't that smart, but still had gotten the best of her, because she didn't think it was possible. But that only happened once or twice... again time was complicated. Especially taking into account how many times Demando had managed to come back in time, but it was only one of him, and only one time, but in many different time-lines... and at different times.

She sighed as she dragged him to the only chair she had in her vast room. She could only ever sit, never sleep, how that worked with being knocked out, she didn't know, so don't ask. She tied him to the chair. Oh yes, she'd stocked up on rope after the last time. Part of her couldn't help but hope that a very attractive alien might get a bone-headed idea into his head and go back in time to a time before Serenity met Endymion and win her love that way. Maybe Pluto could talk some sense into her-im. Hell, Pluto didn't even care anymore, she'd take what she could. Though she'd never seen the attempt in any of the different time-lines.

However, this alien was not what she was expecting. For one thing it seemed to take him forever to come to. Usually they were awake again in a few minutes. Pluto looked at the clock she hung up ironically, the minutes had ticked by. It hadn't been set to any particular timezone or timeline. Another oddity was how he got here. They had usually been able to teleport in themselves, or had to come through a mirror. Never had something landed in here.

The last oddity was his clothes. He wore a pinstripe suit and a brown overcoat and if she wasn't mistaken those were red converses.

Pluto let out a drawn out tortured sigh. Time was not stopped in this place, it was just absent, but times like this seemed to stretch forever. She raised a hand to rub at her temple.

"You know, a polite get out would have been better, or a please, sit down, you know, what conscientious beings usually do."

"I don't like being dropped in on. You were not supposed to be able to get in here."

"Well, somehow I did, so it's not nearly as impossible as you think. Surely there had to be some way that you got in here too. Unless you closed it up behind you, which I respect, and have had to do myself at some point."

Pluto spun the chair around and directed him towards his blue box. "I'd suggest getting back in that thing and going back the way you came and forget about this place, or a bump on the head is the least of your worries."

"Ah, that's nothing. I heal faster than most." She begged to differ, but didn't say anything. "No really, I do. Must be the dual hearts thing. Higher body temperature, burns off illnesses faster and gets more blood pumping to the areas that need it."

Pluto laughed. "Where is the species that needs two hearts located?"

"The same place that I come from." He responded. He started to look around, at least obviously. She had spent too much time with her king to not pick up how easily he could take in a situation surrounding them without glancing away from your eyes. "You didn't go in the TARDIS?"

"I have no idea what a TARDIS is, but if you're talking about that box, then no. I don't really try to go into things that displease me. For all I know it could have been a trap. Then I'd be stuck."

"These pictures are very Harry Potter-esque, aren't they? How'd you get them all to be of the same things and move like that but be so miniscule different?"

"You really have no idea where you are?"

"No, I don't always have control over where I am going." The man spun himself around to face her. "But the TARDIS, that beautiful thing, surely knew there was a reason I came. Were you lonely? Tired? In dire need? Fancying a run around the solar system? About to cause certain doom to that planet there?" His eyes were on the one that showed Sailor Moon and the others on an asteroid heading for Earth. At least it wasn't one of the ones with Serenity on the Moon. That was the problem, people came through, intending to change their present, picked a mirror that looked like their past and changed someone else's future, but not theirs.

Endymion didn't even need to go through the gate, he had figured out a way to send his nightmares to several of the versions at once, even ones that had no possibility of being in danger. Not every version had a Demando. He completely ruined a few of them by doing that, but then again in some of them Demando won, in a variety of ways. A few of those would have done good to have Mamoru keep his distance from Usagi. He'd never realized, but not being buddy buddy with Usagi had saved her, for Demando would have grasped onto the fact that Tuxedo Kamen was the only male and hung out with Sailor Moon more than any of the others. The disdain had held off his knowledge for a long time. But in some, his not being with Moon had ruined her for Demando, leaving her raw and easy for the picking, others, the ones where Demando didn't come through to, well that... was best not to speak of in some cases.

"Er... no." Pluto looked back at the one that she had interfered with most recently. "In fact, I just saved it in several dimensions."

"You can cross dimensions?" He seemed fascinated. "Doesn't that open the rift? Who and what are they?"

"No rift, I am allowed." That was a lie. "Don't worry about them."

"I've never seen them on the Earth." The doctor was fascinated. "Did they never make it?"

"Let's talk about something else, shall we? Like getting you back on your TARDIS and going somewhere else." She hadn't missed the fact that he'd managed to get his feet free enough to be able to control the direction he was facing. She kicked out one of the wheels so he couldn't spin around.

"It doesn't work like that." He objected. "I'm here for a reason. I guess I'm here until I figure out what it is."

"What do you think it is?"

"Well... if I were to venture a guess... it'd be something about you that drew me here. Probably the fact that nobody is supposed to make it here, and yet here I am, here you are, and the fact that you've left this place before. I think it also has something to do with those girls, in the most ridiculous fashion I have ever seen, and I should know."

Pluto rolled her eyes at the strange man. She shifted her staff tellingly, she had definitely heard other kinds of stories like this before. He eyed it, knowing what message she was sending with the move. He lifted the corner of his mouth and smiled charmingly at her. God help her, she was falling for it. That was something she was not used to, men smiling at her. Hell she was panting after one of the suitors that Usagi had, not either of the Serenity's, and it wasn't even a full-time male suitor. He'd never even met Pluto, and she had only seen him from afar. To be fair though, it wasn't so much him or his looks that she was after, or even a man, though it was a nice benefit, it was the leaving this small solar system that she'd spent eternity overseeing. It wasn't a boring job, far from it, some days, but she never did anything on her own, and so she had to live through others.

Though it was nice to have attention from a man too... She had plenty of females in her life, and she's not interested. It helped that he seemed really charming too. But it wasn't in her personality to admit it to a man that was trying to use it to get something out of her. Not that he was always trying to get something out of someone when he turned on that charm, but she had no way of knowing that. She had no way of knowing anything about him, except what he deemed to tell her, and what she could gather on her own. She was kind of excited about that concept. So she didn't mind if he stuck around for a short amount of time longer, as long as it didn't interfere with anything else she was doing. Which wasn't much.

They stared each other down. Her with a bored look on her features and him with his charming smile. Eventually, he filtered, not in intensity, but in his grin. It was only so he could talk again. "You don't trust me. I understand, I'm sorry. I suppose I could have come here with a little more announcement."

She chuckled. "I haven't had anyone come here with more of an announcement."

"So there have been others." He mused, his grin slowly inching back up his face. "You have an interesting life, don't you?"

"I guess so." Pluto agreed.

"Mind sharing what that's like?"

Her lips twisted wryly. "I'm sure you have you own fair share of stories." His look assured her that she was right.

"Wouldn't mind sharing them. That is, if you'll show me yours too." He wiggled his eyebrows.

Pluto swung her staff and he didn't even flinch as it stopped a hair's breadth away from his very lovely jaw. "It's not like I haven't heard that one before."

"No, you're right, sorry. I suppose I shouldn't proposition the person whose tied me up so nicely." He shrugged. "Should have known the kinky words wouldn't have worked."

She suddenly realized that everything he'd said since waking up, he had just been teasing her. She relaxed a little. He wasn't a threat to her, or at least not intentionally. She spun him around so he was facing his TARDIS again and she swung her staff again. He felt the ropes fall off, then he was spun towards her again.

"If you put one foot out of line, I will tie you back up to the chair."

"Understood." He held up his hands in peace. Though he wasn't sitting for long, and he was soon inspecting all the different worlds she looked over. "How does this work? Who are you?"

"I should be asking you the same thing. How did you get here? How does this work?" She gestured towards his blue box. She'd heard of Americans trying to time travel on their own, by creating some kind of device. Maybe in another thousand or so years, they might stumble upon something. She didn't bother to look that far ahead, nor did she know anyone in America at that time that she could follow, or want to follow. Or known when or where to look in America, or even to look. It was all speculation anyways, and she'd never considered it to be possible outside of their powers.

"The offer still stands." He steeple his fingers and looked at her over them. "If you share some of your life, I'll share some of mine." He released one hand and gestured to all of the mirrors around them. "How are you doing this?"

Her answer would shock and surprise him. It would also lead to a few arguments, both with her and within himself. For he did not believe, not for a second, though he'd used the term loosely before as an explanation, but disproved it in his next breath.

It was with some irony that it was her breath that she told him, just how she was doing all of this. "Magic."
