At the Gates of Time

As Pluto watches her Hime once more die, tears fall from her face. A young man of around 17 yrs old appears.

"You sent for me, Lady Setsuna?" asks Helios.

"Yes, please enter Trowa-san's dream and bring the Hime to me. I will bring the Outer Scouts to help me save our Hime," says Pluto. After thinking for what seems like hours, "Tell Trowa that Fates have granted his wish on being with out little Bunny." As she speaks, a portal opens to where Helios must go.

-Some where in England Sailor Moon Time-

A portal opens infront of a yellow Ford Shelby CORBA is swallowed into it. The vehicles 3 passengers are not surprised. Only in mild shock.

"With Setsuna around who needs a Delorian..." mumbles Haruka, as the car comes to a stop in front of Pluto.

"Whats a Delorian?" asks Hotaru.

"To what do we owe this pleasure, Pluto?" Michiru asks stepping out of the car with the other two.

"I have some terrible news. Our loving Hime has been killed by the Inner Scouts..." Pluto states with all the grace of Mr. Spock.

"WWWWWWWWHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT! Those little B+(#e hurt Keneko-chan? Why...what was their motivation? How could they, she is out light, our hope..." as the shock and outrage comes from the Scouts.

"After Usagi-hime's parents died she went and lived with Rei-san. However, Rei used our Usagi as slave. Usagi having to work for her keep. Over the last 6 months it has steadily gotten worse..." While speaking Pluto opens a Time Mirror that shows the truth of things back in Japan for the last 6 months.

"AND YOU COULD NOT STOP THIS! Save our princess from this hurting?" Haruka yells.

"Because of a meeting held the night of the engagement party." Sailor Pluto opens another Time Mirror to the night on the Moon Kingdom when a celebration was taking place.

FLASHBACK

Out in the Crystal ball room of the Moon Palace, there are Circus performers entertaining the guests as arrive. The performers do dazzling stunts on the high wire, the trapeze. On pedestals dancing on balls are clowns and acrobats. On a raise Dais is a young woman throwing knives at a clown with a half mask, and more all over the room. In other rooms and this is dancing and talking. The main dining hall is prepared with food.

Mist could the Mirror, then clear showing Queen Selena in her private chambers deep in thought. A knock is at her door. Entering the room is the young man from the knife act. "It is good to see you, again, Trowa." states Selena with a smile.

"Thank you for allowing us to entertain you on this night of Celebration," Trowa answers with a soft smile, taking off his half-mask, "I have a request of you, Queen Selena. I wish to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage. I know that this is supposed to be her engagement party to Prince Darien of Earth, but I believe that he is not the one for her." Slightly ashamed of his rudeness, Trowa bows his head.

Smile at the man's manors Selena answers, "I believe I understand your cautiousness. As of late it seem that the Prince of Earth has changed his spots, so to speak."

"I know I have not right to ask what I did but I have loved your daughter since I first met her back when my Troupe first performed here ages ago." Stumbles Trowa.

"Ah, but that is where you are wrong, Prince Trowa of Astoria. I know your family has traveled to keep their identity a secret, since your planet destroyed over 900yrs by some unknown force. Because of that force, we now have the Asteroid belt. I do miss your parents from time to time." smiling once again Selena continues, "You have all the rights to have my daughter as Darien does. In addition, I know you would be a truer husband to her than the Prince of Earth, be prepared. I will delay the announcement at the end of the party to night. It is good that Serena does not love Darien, but I fear that he may retaliate."

Nodding to the Queen, "I shall be ready when you ask. Beside, Serena and I are friends. Goofy grin "

The two leave the room and the mists cloud the mirror until it fades away.

End of Flashback

"As you can see, that was the final night for the Moon Kingdom. Moreover, Serena's life was to change that night. The rest as they say is history." Pluto says.
