~Mistress Midnight, Middy
----------*~

Setsuna had never ever in her entire long, long lifetime been late. Which is probably why she looked frightening barreling down the sidewalk at top notch.

"Why, of all the times, does the world hate me right now," she thought annoyed as she pushed herself to move faster. Suddenly she jerked to a sudden halt and looked around. "Damn," she hissed, panting slightly, "I'm lost..."

She stood blink for a second before she gave up and sat down on the sidewalk resisting the urge to scream or just break down into whining tears. People carefully walked around the slumped green haired woman wondering if they should call the police.

(Middy: Tsk tsk tsk...Is this such good behavior for you to be displaying in public?
Pu: *raises eyebrow and shrugs* Oh well, at least I don't act like you.
Middy: *tears up dramatically* Oh Pu! The only reason I act like that is they took me off the medication they put you on! *bats eyelashes*
Pu: *sighs* You rub off on me too much...)

Dragging herself to a strait sitting position on the sidewalk, she resorted to asking for directions.

"Excuse--

Citizens walked by without stopping as she tried to grab the passing peoples' attention. Setsuna glared, pouted, and just stopped short of beating the passer bys into a pulp trying to catch someone's, anyone's notice. The afternoon sun was covered by fluffy clouds as Pluto's hand curled into a fist. Curbing her emotion from frustration and towards rage she slammed her fist into the concrete on which she sat.

"LISTEN!" she finally snapped, the gray sidewalk cracked beneath the force of her blow. Setsuna sat, her eyes flashing red fire and all the nearby populace was completely frozen where they stood. "Does ANY of you simpletons know where the Crown Arcade is?!"

(Middy: *shakes finger* Shameful losing your temper like that...
Pu: I only did what you would have done...only a heck of a lot milder...
Middy: ^^;; Hehe Guilty.)

Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. And Setsuna was losing her patience...

"YOU!" the guardian of time called out, pointed one finely manicured nail towards a trembling punk teen holding a skateboard and hiding behind a tall stop sign, "Where is the Crown Arcade?" Her bared teeth ground as she waited for his answer.

Shaking in his orange baggy pants, he pointed directly across the street at the bright yellow sign that was hard to miss reading: Crown Arcade. Blinking, Setsuna only stared for a minute. She was positive she had walked on this sidewalk at least three times completely lost. Not sure whether to weep from happiness or just weep uncontrollable, the proud Pluto stood and walked across the busy street ignoring the cars that stopped completely not daring to move since she had lost her temper.

(Middy: ...
Pu: *holds Chibiusa on a leash glaring*
Middy: O.O;; No comment! For the love of god no comment!)

Briskly, Setsuna walked up to the sliding doors shoving on her sunglasses and muttering about the whole world hating her this particular day. Walking through the door she swiftly scanned the people present looking for her Princess. Pluto's face softened and brightened at the long awaited sight of Serenity, no Usagi. Her protective instincts mingled with her warm affection for the girl who loved the world and all the people in it. Never for anyone had she felt such kinship, a bond, motherly, sisterly, and most of all a love of friendship that survived life, death, and rebirth. Setsuna held herself back from rushing over and embracing the small blonde girl and never letting go.

Suddenly, she was shaken from her daze when she felt a slight tap on her shoulder. Frowning, she watched Usagi head for the bathroom in the back. Tired of being withheld from her plan of bringing Serenity to the surface in Usagi, she turned sharply and held a bored uninterested expression aimed towards whomever was behind her.

"Excuse me," the blonde tall man smiled, his moss green eyes bright.

"What?" she questioned, exasperation and annoyance lacing the single word.

"Erm," he stuttered, his face became slightly shy and he nervously ran his hand through his sandy gold hair, "I was wondering...if you um...might like a drink?"

Setsuna's face lost its calm mask and showed her utter annoyance at being hit on, "Trust me...," she paused waiting for him to offer his name.

"Oh," the blonde began holding out his hand, "Furuhata, Motoki. Nice to meet you."

Glancing at his hand with distain, she skirted by continuing what she was saying, "Yes well. Furuhata-san--

"No, call me Motoki!" He smiled seeming not the least bit fazed.

"Erm...okay, Motoki-san, trust me, I am WAY too old for you. In fact, I knew your parents when they decided to have kids," she deadpanned.

Motoki blinked and seemed slightly confused before grinning, "Come on you can't be that old!"

Setsuna's crimson eyes narrowed and she growled, "I'm giving you one warning buster: If your parents didn't have children you are less likely to have kids." With that she turned on her pale pink heels and turned towards the direction where Usagi went.

"Huh?" complete confusion filled the young man's voice as he stared after her. Motoki's brows furrowed as Mamoru walk through the Crown Arcade doors and stood next to him watching the green haired woman depart. "You know Mamoru-san, I don't get woman at all."

Mamoru gave the befuddled Motoki a quirky grin and spoke, "Don't worry. I met her at the park. I don't think she likes...people at all."

"Hmmm...well that's what's strange. Reika-chan said that the woman selling her an apartment had long green hair, would be here, and that she was really friendly. I was hoping that I could convince her to sell Reika the apartment. Then she started saying all these...things."

(Middy: *cracks up* Oh my god...*continues laughing*
Pu: *covers her red face* Geez this is...*glares at Middy* all your bloody fault!
Middy: But you *snicker*...thought that...*giggle* Motoki! *falls over laughing*
Pu: *grinds teeth* Just wait Middy. You won't know when or where, but...soon *growls*)

Mamoru patted his perplexed friend's shoulder and glanced around the arcade hoping to see a certain blonde bun haired and blue-eyed girl.

*****

Setsuna forced down a blush that was spreading across her cheeks. "Ugh, men are such dogs...," she muttered shoving open the swinging door to the Women's bathroom. Pluto jumped back as she saw Usagi leap back from the mirror, a hand over her heart and an expression of surprise brightening her baby blue eyes. "Gomen!" Setsuna smirked apoplectically to her princess.

A golden smile spread across Usagi's soft features and she shook her head, "No, it's okay," she grinned, "I have always been a jumpy person."

Setsuna couldn't help beaming back at Bunny's quirky personality.

"Um. This might sound odd but," Usagi began, looking down and hesitating slightly, "did you happen to see a dark haired and midnight eyed man outside, in the arcade?"

Setsuna frowned at the unhappy expression that dimmed her princess's eyes and peachy complexion. "Mamoru," her mind growled with a growing fury.

Usagi forced a smile and looked up, her voice light and musical even in sadness, "I'm sorry. That probably sounded like a ridiculous question."

"No. No, Usa--" Setsuna began and quickly altered what she started to say when Usagi looked up sharply, confused how someone she didn't know knew her, "You see, I understand where your coming from."

(Middy: Smooth Pu...real smooth...
Pu: -_-;; Cliché Middy...real cliché...)

Pluto nearly collapsed from relief when Usagi smiled slightly. "My name is Meioh, Setsuna. Nice to meet you." Jovially, she extended her hand towards Usagi.

"Tsukino, Usagi," the blonde glowed, "call me Usa-chan if you like, Setsuna-chan."

As they clasped hands, Pluto gently allowed a focused tendril of time power to bind Usagi to herself. Usagi's azure eyes became unfocused as she floated on Setsuna's gently weaved web of power. From deep within the blonde's small frame, she felt a deep pounding she had never felt before and a gentle white glow began to consume her. Crimson and indigo eyes connected and the small bathroom exploded with blinding light...
