This is, yes, the final chapter. If you want more than this, sorry, this is it. It is finished, done, and so on. Several references to Ikuhara and cast will be done. They are existing people, and I have no intention to harm their families or reputations with this fan fiction--but as they did self inserts in the episode this fan fiction pertains to, it cannot be helped.

The first thing that Minako did when she stepped into the house of secrets and was alone was curse (as much as one can in Japanese--which turns out to amount to something like Oh crap in English.) She couldn't bring herself to swear in English, probably because she couldn't remember English all that well. It had been several years since she'd ued an English swear word. Here she was with Hotaru (whom she didn't know was going to turn into Mistress Nine later, but that's another story.) with a brand new pen and she couldn't test it out. Why? Because suspiciously the house had turned into a dimensional space. Was this sheer coincidence? Was this fate? Or was this Sailor Pluto messing with her for messing with the time stream and a subconscious grudge on the part of Sailor Pluto?

Sailor Venus at this very moment was leaning more towards the subconscious or conscious grudge theory. It couldn't be mere coincidence--but really, did the dark and secretive Sailor Soldier have to drag everyone else into their quarrel? It really didn't add up. So skipping over the unimportant parts, like falling off the bridge, and catching with her venus chain, reuniting with the group, and then being trapped in a card while two kids played Old Maid with what amounted to be a dirty cheater, Sailor Venus was finally freed (of course she'd be trapped in a similar fashion later, by Nehelenia, but let's ignore this fact) she finally got to use her transformation pen.

She got a brand new haircut. She finally got it to be stylish and after begging her Mom for three straight days for the cash, Minako realized something. It was awful. It was horrid.

She didn't like her haircut!

She parked Artemis in front of her and said, "I don't like it."

Artemis laughed nervously and said through clenched teeth, "You don't like what, Minako?"

"I don't like my haircut!"

This is about the time that Artemis's mouth flopped up and down in utter and complete disbelief. They'd traveled through time risked meeting her past self, she'd risked life and limb all the while talking about justice, corrupted the very fabric of time, gone to the moon, abused a time key and she what?

"I hate my haircut!"

After a few more rounds of what would be construed as two deaf people yelling at each other, with Artemis saying "What" louder each time and Minako saying, "I hate my haircut" louder each time, it ended abruptly with Minako's mother knocking on her door.

"Minako, do you have a guy over? Really, because young lady if I catch you, I swear..."

"It's just me and Artemis, Mom."

"Oh."

"I'm practicing my voices so I can sing."

"That's good dear, but keep it down, you're making me nervous... Your haircut is cute by the way."

Uuuuugghhh. That was it. it was just cute, not stylish, but cute. Who was in the world of fashion and an idol at this age with a "cute" haircut.

"Artemis... I--"

Artemis sighed and hopped under her bed. After disappearing he came out with her original transformation pen. After spitting it out and getting rid of the taste of the material, which was kind of nasty, he said, "I figured you'd say that."

"Am I really that bad?" Minako asked.

Artemis chose not to honor that with a response.

So Minako transformed and after working really hard for her next haircut, which kind of confused her mother, who was convinced she'd seen a mirage... Minako got a casting call. The guy there was CUTE. Really, really cute, how could Minako resist?

Plus in the audience there was a guy that looked somewhat familiar who later did this show with roses and cars and suicide-- and some other familiar people that she swore she saw somewhere, that she'd worked with or something. Somehow she felt like she'd betray them to cut her hair like that... and get rid of the bow, but she couldn't quite describe it. At least one of the judges seemed to like her quite a bit.

It was after the whole taking the heart crystal getting revenge thing that Minako heard those magical words from Araki, idol extroidinaire.

"Your hairstyle is unique and graceful," he said with that classic smile.

And those were the words that changed her very existence on this Earth.

"Araki said I was pretty and called my long hair 'unique and graceful'! I'm in love! Yup! I'm keeping my hair this way," Minako said.

Artemis fell over. After over a month of having to put up with Minako's antics, it had to end this way.

"Wh-Why? I finished that new pen for you. You know how hard that was?"

"Well obviously, I have what it takes to be an idol since I won first place!"

"You won second place!" Artemis said.

"Nope, because Mimete got sucked into the TV, remember!" Minako said.

Artemis sighed at this and grumbled.

"And I overheard Ikuhara-san tell Ito-san that she should draw me someday."

Ami looked at her henshin pen. She opened and then tweaked it. She wanted to grow her hair out a bit longer--not much, but she thought that her image of the uptight girl might loosen up. When she was finished, she smiled down at her work. It would take a while for it to kick in, but it would be soon.

This one is based off of:

House of Secrets

Celebrity ones.

Of course this uses real people, However they are fair play since they self-inserted themselves into the episode! They were judges for the idol contest. Since they used self-insertions they are fair game as they were actual characters in the episode. (Otherwise I wouldn't do it).

Like it hate it, I want reviews with some content. Tell me what you liked or disliked about the story, and most importantly why. Thank you.
