Setsuna and her friends all belong to Takeuchi Naoko. I just asked them very nicely if they wanted to play. They agreed, and quietly snuck out without Takeuchi-sensei's knowledge.

The new pattern

The time stream was dancing, It was a weird dance, with a lot of buckling, rolling, and twisting. Pluto worked frantically trying to determine the cause. Running her hand across the computer console embedded in the door frame, she continued trying to find the nexus. Fear started to build inside of her the more she sifted through the images captured mere seconds before. The nexus was on Earth.

Pluto turned away from the console and ran her hand down the door itself. 'What could have happened? Everything was going so well. The princess and her court had awaken, the Prince of Earth and the Princess of the Moon were finally getting to be together. What happened?'

Holding that thought in her mind, she opened the door and peered into the past. There, before her eyes, she saw the continual attacks by Queen Beryl and her stolen court. She saw the resealing of Jadeite, Nephrite, Kunzite, and Zoisite. She watched in horror at the loss of the four princesses, and then the death of the prince. Pluto almost walked back through the doors, but even as she stepped backwards, she saw Sailor Moon, who had challenged Queen Beryl, transform into Princess Serenity. Staring transfixed at the face of her long dead, but not forgotten, princess, Pluto watched as she called upon the spirits the fallen to help her defeat Queen Beryl.

Looking closer, Pluto felt a chill run down her spine. 'She is using the Silver Crystal. It is happening again! It's just like the end of the Silver Millennium!'

Finally, Queen Beryl was destroyed. As Princess Serenity's life started to drift away, she pulled enough power to make one last wish. For everything to be normal. Pluto's eyes widened. That was the nexus she had been looking for. The Princess was trying to change time.

Rushing back through the door, Pluto searched the monitor for any sign of Saturn's arrival. 'None yet. Maybe I can grant her wish before Saturn wakes up. But should I?' Even as that last thought crossed her mind, Pluto was back through the door, standing in the churning streams. Reaching out with her hands and her mind, she attempted to help the time stream find its new pattern. She showed it how to weave the new dance, the one that would answer her Princess' wish.
