Oh and Henry Poole is a real guy, more notes about it later on. I apologize to the Cundey family if I paint him badly. Benjamin Disraeli is too, he wrote the book Endymion.

The trip to the Silver Millennium was a lot harder than she thought. First she had to go through the corridors of time and then she kept popping up in the wrong time. It was only when she really focused and Artemis was getting upset with her that she finally got the key to work. With this in mind, she landed right where she wanted to be. Through this she was still wearing the dress that Henry Poole had given her.

She opened her eyes and she saw two men chattering to each other.

"Venus!" One of them said bowing, "How did you get here? We didn't hear you enter. We were sure you were in audience with the Queen," a man said.

"The meeting must be over," a man that looked familiar said. It was Henry Poole! She recognized him immediately. The irony of it wasn't lost on her.

"But Prince Endymion..." the other gentleman started.

"Nonsense, Ben," Henry Poole started.

"Ahem, I require my Sailor suit to be, you know, more fashionable," Minako started.

The man that looked like Henry Poole looked her up and down and said, "Weren't you in here an hour ago asking for a new color? It's the latest fashion, I assure you."

Minako honestly did not remember much of her past life. How could her past life really like ORANGE as the main color. what was with the color scheme. Who thought up orange and blue as fashionable?

"It seems to have er.. umm a bug--the transformation pen, that is," she said.

The man who looked like Henry Poole sighed, and then presented out his hand.

"I'm sure I made you better clothes than that, Venus," The man she assumed was Henry Poole muttered.

He turned to the other man and said, "Ben, This will be but a moment."

He absently patted Artemis on the head and asked him, "How have you been doing old friend? Has this girl been treating you well?"

The man laughed when Artemis shook his head, "That bad, eh?"

He looked at the pen and said, "What's the trouble?"

"My hair--I can't change it," Minako started.

"Remember you wanted that specification put into the pen so it would be, 'perfect every time,'" the man muttered.

Minako wondered if her past self had really been this fickle.

He shook his head, "I didn't do that part of the programming, you will have to ask Queen Serenity--but before you do, I'd like to give you a better outfit. That oufit is really hideous, pray tell the tailor that made it that he really needs to get some sense!"

This version of Henry Poole made her change (yet again), this time into an orange empire-style dress that he said he'd been working on. This one didn't have a corset, but it still was orange. Princess Venus must have had horrible taste in clothes, "What was I thinking?" Minako thought.

"Have you had enough fun yet, Minako?" Artemis asked her.

"No, we're not finished, I have to visit Queen Serenity," Minako replied a bit distracted by the dress. It fit her perfectly and was quite pretty, despite it's color. It was ciumbersome because of the long train and it was long in the front.

"Minako..." Artemis started, but Minako wasn't listening.

Artemis followed her ashamed to be seen with her.

"Now where are we supposed to go...?" Minako asked the cat, who muttered instructions to the main hall where Queen Serenity would be.

Princess Venus emerged from around a corner. Minako and Artemis hid against the doorframe of one door.

"I can't let me see me, I mean her see me..." Minako started.

"If you'd listen to me..." Artemis started.

The past Artemis started to say, "Princess Venus, if you'd listen to me..."

"Oh Artemis, loosen up!" Princess Venus replied merrily.

"What she said," Minako whispered to the current Artemis.

The door suddenly opened behind them and they fell into an unlit room. Minako and Artemis landed on their butts. A dark arm pulled at Minako. Minako looked around and found herself looking up at Sailor Pluto, a very angry Sailor Pluto. Not much could get Sailor Pluto this angry. Words did not begin to express how mad Sailor Pluto was.

"What are you doing here in the wrong time, MINAKO?" Sailor Pluto boomed aat her, departing from her usual soft voice and manor.

The ruby eyes flamed with rage.

"Uhh, I'm--I'm Princess Venus, see..." Minako tried to manage.

"You can't fool me. I know what you've been doing. I've had to clean up your mess that you've created and only just got the chance to do so. First I had to fix the trouble you caused with henry Poole. That poor fellow was sure that he'sd gone insane, do I have to mention the trouble you caused with feudal Japan? Why should I forgive you?" Sailor Pluto said, putting her staff near Minako's head.

"Uhh... I was trying to warn you? The enemy in the my time is trying to find the Talismen, they've already endangered Princess Serenity."

"The Talismen?" Sailor Pluto asked.

"Yes, a new enemy," Minako replied.

Sailor Pluto lifted her staff and looked oddly thoughtful. "Alright, I'll forgive you this once, since this was not supposed to happen--not yet at least."

Sailor Pluto was lost deep in thought then, and reguarded the cat.

"Stuck with her again, old friend?" Sailor Pluto asked, smiling.

Artemis hung his head low and sighed. Minako wanted to object, but she didn't.

"Alright, I'll forgive you if you give me the time key now," Sailor Pluto said raising her staff and extendeding her hand for the key.

Minako reluctantly gave it to her.

Sailor Pluto made the key disappear, and then looked at Minako, who was still on her butt.

"That dress has to go back too...please change into these," Sailor Pluto said handing back her original clothes.

Minako meekly obeyed, and Sailor Pluto sent the dress away too. She was hoping to have her pen changed before she got caught.

Sailor Pluto raised her staff over her head in a menacing manner, twirling it in the air. Minako winced as the staff landed judiciously on her head.

Minako faded from view, as Sailor Pluto said, "Thanks for the warning, you distracted me before...and don't use the time key again, or I will eliminiate you..."

Minako woke up in her bed with Artemis beside her. She looked into her mirror and cried out, "My hair! It's still the same!"

Artemis woke up with that information and groaned.
