O.o What are you doing with that strait-jacket? *is dragged away*
~Mistress Midnight, Middy
----------*~
Stepping stylishly out of the gates of time, Setsuna slipped on her tinted sunglasses and grinned into the warm daylight. Adjusting her pink business suit, she stretched and flipped her long green hair out of her face. Beaming, she eagerly embraced the noise and movement of the city. No more lonely silences or endless duty. Removing a piece of paper from her inner pocket, Pluto absorbed the day while absently studying the small white slip of paper.
"Tsukino, Usagi: 4:35- Crown Arcade"
Smiling she glanced down at her watch, and seeing the time Setsuna twitched slightly.
"I have THREE HOURS to kill?!" She paused for a second and peered closer to the watch, "Oh wait, two hours...I think."
(Middy: *falls over*
Pu: *twitches and looks down pretending it never happen*
Middy: *sweatdrop* YOU, of all people, have trouble telling time?
Pu: ^^;; Hehe, about that...erm well the watch was confusing! And the sun was in my eyes!
Middy: Suuuure...*grins* I understand. It's like...forgeting how to breathe.
Pu: Come on! I'm not Usagi...)
Setsuna continued to walk nowhere in particular, her eyes glued to the small confusing timepiece on her wrist. Muttering about useless modern day objects, she felt like ripping out her hair in frustration. Sailor Pluto became completely absorbed trying to deduct the correct time, and laughed out loud when she finally had it.
"HAH! It's two hou--
Her declaration was harshly cut off when she crashed into a stranger. Stumbling back, she prepared to give whomever she had run over a good punch in the face when she realized who it was.
"Mamoru-san?" Setsuna gawked, her burgundy eyes widening after finally seeing the prince after so long.
"Na ni?" Mamoru looked up from trying to brush himself off, expecting to find someone he knew. "Do I know you?" Mamoru finally asked one eyebrow slightly raised in question.
Sailor Pluto's affection for Mamoru was drowned by her urge to bash the Prince's head in. Twitching, she restrained from thrashing the boy for his cruel treatment of her princess. She also clamped down on the severe tongue-lashing that was already rising in her throat; coughing she gritted her teeth and reined in her temper. Fighting with herself, Setsuna finally settled for merely glaring at Mamoru before replying with an annoyed, "Iie," and walking away without a single backwards glance.
Mamoru gazed after the huffing green haired woman and blinked. His brow furrowed slightly as he thought, 'Why do I feel like I've known her from somewhere...' briefly he scanned his mind looking to connect her face to a name. Shrugging, he continued to walk towards the rose garden. 'Oh well, I'm sure I haven't met her; I'm positive I would have remembered someone that rude...Hmmm...I have two hours to kill before heading to the arcade.'
(Middy: Pu? *backs away from the steaming senshi*
Pu: *growls menacingly* NA NI?! BAKA! I'll get him for that! ME? RUDE! *snorts*
Middy: Oooookay then...O.O;; Note to self: Stop writing notes to self because self never reads the notes to self...
Pu: *raises eyebrow*
Middy: That had no point...
Pu: Yep. Like most of the other stuff you say...)
After checking the directions on the small pocket map, Pluto deducted that she could get to the Crown in about 20 minutes if she spent some time walking in near the lake in the park. Strolling along, Setsuma forgot about Mamoru and focused her attention to the task to come. There were many things she had to prepare...she might even have some time to refresh her memory on the correct magic rituals to use. She smirked at the children that played hide and seek among the trees and moved towards the crystal water of the park pond. The surface water glimmered and glowed under the bright afternoon sun. A light breeze flowed making the day temperature absolutely perfect. Setting herself on a bench beside the lake she bit her lower lip slightly.
"Sure," Pluto thought, "it's been ummm...a couple of...decades, but it can't be that hard to brush up on."
(Middy: Err...decades?
Pu: *whistles* Make one crack about my age and I'll sic Chibiusa-chan on you...
Middy: *whimpers and hides*)
Nodding optimistically, she clutched the garnet orb, which had shrunk to necklace size and hung adequately from her neck on a silver chain. A gently wind fluttered through the air rustling the trees above that flashed various shades of green. Breathing in deeply, she closed her eyes and focused her powers into the orb pendent.
"Okay," she breathed, amazed at the strength of her concentrated power, "I can do this...slowly. Simple summoning spell. Waking the past to join us in the present. Let's see, if this works the ghost of Prince Endymion should be right in front of me as soon as I reach him..."
With the power of time wrapped in a focus tendril, Setsuma focused her mind over the park lake reaching for the Prince 2,000 years in the past. The mist of time rolled, parting for Pluto's reach. Brushing against a familiar spirit, Setsuna wrapped the tendril around and guided the person towards the present.
"Endymion..."
From beneath her closed eyelids she felt the sun warm her face. The heat flared slightly, but Pluto was too deeply lost in her trace to hear the crash of something crashing into the lake. Almost sleepily, she opened her eyes and nearly screamed in frustration when no apparition stood before her. All that was before her were gentle ripples of glistening water that lapped against the shore.
"Damn..." she twitched slightly annoyed at the lack of magical effect. Glancing down at her watch her let out a yowl, "4:25?!"
*****
Blinking, Mamoru-san stared as the tall woman with the long green hair and pink business suit broke out into a run towards the Crown Arcade. Shaking his head, he slipped on his helmet and wondered why he thought it was so out of her character. He rolled his eyes as he heard the sigh of the pack of adoring girls that stood slightly behind him.
"You can call me anytime Chiba-sempai!" A redhead called out as Mamoru sped away on his motorcycle. Beside the redhead, her friend sighed and smiled in a haze. "He's exactly like a prince from a fairy tale..."
*****
From the lake a damp dark head broke the surface of the clear water sputtering. Wiping the soaked strands of black hair away from his eyes, he blinked revealing a pair of deep midnight eyes. Glancing around he sighed and dragged himself out of the shallow lake. People stared at the armored Prince as he gazed around looking for something, anything, familiar.
"Where?" he growled ringing out his cape and wiping the droplets of water away, "Where in the name of Selenity am I?"
No one seemed to be able to answer the tall well-built man as they were all slowly backing away from him after catching a glimpse of the really sharp sword hanging from his belt.
Rolling his eyes the Prince trotted off annoyed and muttering, "Sweet Serenity, you'd think these people have never seen a prince before."
(Middy: Hmm...Pu? Was this what you meant by a tiny mistake?
Pu: *holds her head* Erm...oops?
Middy: *pokes Pu* Is there anyway you could make that same mistake again?
Pu: *blinks at Middy then sweatdrops* No Middy. You cannot have a Mamo-chan of your own...
Middy: *slaps Pu knocking her over* HAHA! You know I would never ask that! *smiles innocently* darn...)
