An elderly man sat on the street corner with his dark grey eyes blood shot from excess amounts of alcohol. The pasty skin tones of his cheeks and hands showed the dark blue veins to perfection. He pulled a long drink of some sort of stark alcoholic beverage that would cause your toes to curl if the ingredients were given.
He gave a satisfied burp and layed back against the trash bags that made his recliner. He rose in a half-drunken stupor. The Click-Clop of someone's shoes was banging against his already pounding head.
Looking up he almost choked on the half-swallowed fluid. To his memorized eyes he swore he saw an angle. Her long flowing blond hair was pulled into a high ponytail. The pale skin was out-lined in the harsh light of the street lamps.
Her gait was awkward, which could have been from the broken heel and her hands balled into fists. He must have made some noise for she turned her gaze on him and he shrunk back in fright.
" Drinking excessively is not good for you." Her golden tones informed him in a haughty manner. He could barley nod for the stark fear he felt rise in his heart.
She gave a curt nod and stalked on.

Minako walked forward with an uneasy gait and glared at the approaching temple. It was late, closer to midnight than she would like to think about, and wished it were closer still.
Walking in there was going to be a keen embarrassment on her behalf. But she was the leader of the Senshi, soon to be second in command to Neo-Queen Serenity. But that did not stop the blush from reaching her cheeks.
Minako stomped through the streets and furiously tried to ignore the fact that she was missing a heel. One light, shadows, one light and then shadows. And the whole damn thing was making her nauseous.
Biting her red coated lips she growled. It always came back to her and her large mouth. Why did she have to say something about her dates when she knew they were going to be a disaster, when she understood the factor called male hormones?
Was it impossible to find a guy that was more interested in her smile than how to get down her pants, or skirt, and then leave her? Was it too much to want someone what was just as interested in her brains as her ass?
Minako stopped dead and slapped the side of her head. She was sounding like Ami. Just shoot me was written plainly against her pale face. Minako twisted her lips into a grimace. Today hell had frozen over.
Minako thought about pulling her acting talents out of the facet and shedding a few tears but decided not to. Straightening her shoulders she walked the last few step up into the temple. Dammit if she spent three hours doing her make up; someone was going to appreciate it!
~*~
Four heads snapped up with the entrance of the befuddled looking Minako. The short yellow dress hit just above her knees showing a good length of leg. Her long blond hair was in a high ponytail. One gold pump was broken at the heel and her hands were knuckle white against the handbag.
" Date go bad again?" Rei questioned not a note of reproach in her normally ruff voice.
Minako sat down with a humph. " If I ever try a blind date with Scott's friends again…shoot me."
" I can not shoot you." Makoto told her dryly. " I am scarred of guns. But how about a thunder bolt to the ass."
" SO funny." Minako replied sarcastically. She grabbed a pillow and tossed it lightly onto her friend's head.
" Hey, food on floor, NO PILLOW FIGHT!" Usagi screamed in a high voice. Rei and Ami, the closet to her, winced.
" USAGI!" Rei hollered back. " Inside voice okay?"
Usagi answered with a pout and shoved another cookie into her mouth. Her large blue eyes were distinctively worried about something.
" Guys does it bother you that I have Mamoru and you guys are still single?" Usagi whispered.
The other four managed to sweat drop. But it was Rei who answered.
" Ondago Atama! You silly baka. If we had a problem with you two do you think we would have died TWICE to save your scrawny butt? I so do not think so. Besides do you think he is good enough for us?" Rei demanded hotly.
Usagi felt her jaw drop and glared at her friend. " You thought he was good enough five years ago."
" I grew up. Something you have yet to do." Rei imperiously told her. A pillow landed square between her violet eyes. Soon the pillow fight they had tried to keep from happening had erupted out full fledge.

Jason Walker stood over looking the ocean crash over the cliffs of Zach's large house. It was the only one that they collectively owned at the beach. For while the majority of their funs were separate, they had a stash that they had began to set up. For they planned for the future.
The wind ruffled his golden sun bleached locks. He looked over the part of the earth that he had once had reign over. As King of the East he had once reigned over all except Kunzite. Or Keaton.
But in preparation of Crystal Tokyo and all that it was going to be they gave so much percent to the bank account for there king. It was, in part, a small way of making up to him all they had lost.
It was the only thing that they could do. Because ever since two years ago when Pluto had dropped them on their asses, literally, they had been absolutely lost. Nothing had been dug up over the to well hidden Senshi.
~*~
Zachary walked down the street of the larger city area that was near his large house. He had to get Pluto props for that. Ami would love it. If he ever found her that was.
He raised his sunglasses over his face and sighed. He watched a woman with long black hair and large eyes wink as she walked by. If it had been another time, another life, maybe another person, he would have followed and possible got lucky. But the long legs and large hips were nothing to the petite and delicate figure that drove him to the brink of sanity and back.
He sometimes wondered why he allowed himself to give it up. It was not willingly, by no means, but if the choice was himself or Endymion like it had once been, he would still make the same choice. He knew, somehow, maybe it was Pluto again, that Serenity and Endymion had found each other. Once again,
But looking over the changes he wondered if all the choices he had made had been corrected. What ifs and the how comes would always plague him, he knew that all to well.
Zachary fumed and looked over a cheap comic stand. Ranging from you older versions behind the steel bars to the cheap new releases. Zachary snapped his gaze back to the comic stand and felt his breath take a flying leap from his chest.
Passerby's would see a blond man frantically waving to the window. The window was later filled with cheap Spiderman re-do's.
Zach frantically tore down the street desperately trying not to loose the valuable comics. If you could hear the mumbling voice it would have been along these lines.
" Of all the shitty things to come from. The key to my SOUL has to be a damn comic book. PLUTO!"
~*~
Keaton and Nate looked up in surprise as Zach cam racing in like a bat out of hot places. His wild green eyes were large and startled. Jason walked over from the window and graced them with a cool glance.
Zach practically threw down the small paper-thin packages he was holding.
" What has you in a piss?" Jason questioned his tone bored. Zach ignored him as he frantically ripped open the plastic.
Keaton and Nate exchanged looks. " Are you all right? Jeez breath man."
Zach tore the open the cover cursing when he ripped his precious commodity.
" HERE!" he screamed.
Three pair of eyes popped open at the tittle of the cover. The page had five women in very short skirts and styled in different colors. The attitudes and stances were off but it was apparent whom they were trying to imitate.
" Holy crap on a hot stick."
~*~
Minako groaned as she shoved another chocolate into her mouth. She really should stop. But the next Senshi training session would burn any and everything off. And the people at her fashion shop wondered how she kept the wait off. Minako managed to snort, and almost dislocated a lung.
" Do you know," Ami commented lazily, " that it is daylight on some other place.
Usagi groaned the loudest and rolled over trying not to disrupt her full stomach. She let out a large Usagi sized groan.
" Oh…Makoto I love your cooking. And Ami…who cares? I am trying to enjoy a full stomach. Not analyze the world." Usagi groaned.
" Usagi…did you mean what you said about getting a apartment?" Minako said sleepily.
" Huh?" Usagi said slightly confused by the turn of conversation.
" You me, in a apartment. Living together. Alone. No Mamoru." Minako mummered fighting back sleep.
" Yes. I want out of the house, but dad won't let me move in with Mamo-chan." Usagi whined causing Rei to sleepily swat her shoulder.
" Okay. I found a place I want to live in. Why don't you meet me at Makoto-chan's and we can bum breakfast off her, and then you can see the place I want." Minako mummered. Only to be met with the sounds of long, loud snores.
~*~
Jason breathed and placed his head between his legs. His breathing was irregular and his entire body trembling. With laughter.
Keaton looked at him like he was nuts. " Are you loosing oxygen to the brain?" Keaton demanded.
" Pluto has on HELL of a sense of humor." Jason said whipping tears from his eyes.
After they had all been knocked senseless from the shock of finding the Senshi in Comic books, they had all just sat there. Until Jason had picked up a T.V Guide and busted into near hysterics.
" What may I ask is so funny?" Zach hissed.
Jason just pointed. Three heads bent over the magazine.
