Author Note: pentobarbital= a coma inducing drug, that gives the brain time to rest while it heals itself...or something

The whole part about time makes no logical sense whatsoever, but this is a fiction so just go with it.

Again Pluto is probably out of character, and don't worry if you don't like Parc, he is just a minor character.

If you read A Funny Thing Called Reincarnation you'll know what Pluto is talking about, its not important just a connection between the two stories. As a side note, AFTCR is not dead, just on a short pause as I try to figure out what comes next (5 pages of the next chapter have been written but its been slow going...too many ideas in my head at once!)

The Senshi stumbled to a halt at that proclamation. "What?" Ami gasped.

Pluto turned back and gave her a look, "You were planning on getting married weren't you?" Numbly Minako, Makoto, and Rei all nodded their heads, while Ami just blushed. "Is it any surprise that the Guardian of Time would know your husbands?"

Still they didn't say anything and Pluto gave them a twisted smile, "Good, if you don't really care, I'll just yank them straight out of the time stream."

"No!" Makoto shouted, she wanted to get married, it was her third goal in life, behind only saving the world and opening her own bakery.

"Um...Sailor Pluto-san," Ami began but her voice grew quieter when Pluto's timeless eyes landed on her, "won't it do more damage than good to yank four people out of the time stream?"

Pluto inclined her head slightly, "Very well put. It would. But, it was a nice dream."

"Why would you want to in the first place?" Minako asked.

Pluto laughed without humor, "Those four men are the biggest pains on earth. None of them staying where they are supposed to. If it isn't Jed being spontaneous then it is Nathan paying too much attention to the stars or Zane being just a little too curious..."

Pluto walked away muttering to herself, they caught words like, "inconsiderate.", "screwing up the time stream.", and Rei could swear that she heard Pluto say, "bastards.", but the solemn senshi just didn't seem the type to cuss.

Mamoru followed the six women, a part of him wondering why he was there. How did talking about future spouses help his Usako?

Suddenly, Pluto came to a halt and shouted, "Parc! I am going to kill you and serve your remains at the yearly banquet!"

There was a deep chuckle and the fog melted away from a tall man with short, curly brown hair that brushed his eyebrows. He was taller than Sailor Pluto and Mamoru, but wasn't gangly, he looked like he would be at home in a lumber mill. The freckles and shape of his face, though, made him look like a little boy, and the glint in his eyes didn't help.

"Sets, I'm touched. You getting all worked up just for little old me." He placed a hand across his heart.

'Sets?' Minako mouthed and the others shrugged.

Pluto was not amused, "Parc, you son of a bitch, do you know what you have done with your little stunt?"

Parc scratched his head, "Gee, Sets, I don't know. Why don't you tell me? I'm not the omniscient one."

Pluto scowled, "I'm not omniscient and you very well know it! And that makes what you did worse! Because you distracted me with trying to fix it, I wasn't able to pay attention to the time I was supposed to! And do you know what happened while I was busy fixing your mistake?"

He shook his head and Pluto gestured at the guy and five girls behind her. Parc's jaw dropped.

"Is that?" he whispered.

"Yes, and do you know why they are here a full two months before schedule?"

"No." he whispered even though the question was rhetorical.

"Because Sailor Moon is missing!"

If Parc had looked shocked before, it was nothing compared to the look on his face now. But, Rei thought she could distinguish the slightest amount of fear in his eyes. The man's jaw worked for a moment before he sputtered, "But that's impossible!"

Pluto shook her head, "No. You should know by now that time is a fluid thing and like water, you drop a pebble in it, it affects the whole. And Parc, that was a boulder you just dropped."

Getting bored of not knowing what was going on, Minako tapped Pluto's shoulder, "Do you mind telling us who that is?"

The depression on Parc's face left immediately, and he swept into an overdone bow saying, "Moiran Parcae, at your service. Parc for short, of course."

Ami cocked her head, "Moiran Parcae?" she muttered, "Parcae...Roman. Moiran from the Greek Moirae." she thought for a moment before snapping her fingers, "Your name means the three fates, in two languages."

Parc chuckled again, "Yes. Yes, it does. That's my job. I am fate...or at least the human incarnation of it."

"Didn't you ever hear that fate has a cruel sense of humor? He's why." Pluto said in a dry tone, "This time though, he's going to pay for it."

"I'm going to pay for it? Oh no. I couldn't possibly. There is so much I have to do around here." he said backing away quickly, "You know, clean the house, weed the garden, kill myself..."

"Stop." Pluto said not bothering to shout, the order in her tone was enough. Parc halted, wincing. "If you think I am going to the king all by myself, you are sorely mistaken."

"But it would be so...presumptuous of me to go before his majesty. I really couldn't."

Pluto, having enough grabbed his ear and hissed, "You are going whether you like it or not. Because I am not, I repeat, am not taking full blame for this."

She raised her staff up and slammed it into the ground and a portal began to form. While it was forming, Pluto said with some humor, "He is going to be quite put out with us when you tell him that his wife is missing."

Not noticing that their followers' jaws dropped, Pluto thrust Parc through the portal. She turned to the Senshi and said in a mystic tone, "All will be explained." and stepped through the portal. The girls looked at each other then Mamoru, who was trying and failing at looking unconcerned.

"I suppose we should follow them." Minako said finally.

Chibi-Usa agreed, "I'm ready to go home."

She jumped through the portal and Minako asked, "Home?" Not seeing an answer in any of their faces, she made up her mind, "Transform and we follow."

Five hours had passed since they had put Sailor Moon into the machine, and it was still pulsing dark light into her forehead. Luckily, Sapphire's clubbing her head seemed to do the trick to keep her from waking up.

"Twenty minutes, huh?" Diamond asked angrily.

Sapphire ignored him and studied the machine. It looked to be in working order. But, he wished he could get some medical equipment to monitor Moon. Part of him was acutely aware of the rather large role he had played in Sailor Moon's current predicament. He felt guilty. They should never have gone after Moon. What did it accomplish other than hurting her?

Suddenly, the machine made three beeping noises and the stream flashed off. The brothers turned and the manacles that held her wrists were released.

"It's done." Diamond whispered.

Sapphire rolled his eyes, and walked over to the prone Sailor Moon. Checking her vitals, he sighed in relief, she was still alive. Her pulse was strong and her breathing normal, if a tad ragged. Turning to his brother, he said, "She needs to be kept under medical watch."

Diamond nodded, "Of course. But, when she wakes up she is mine." He strode from the room, his cape flapping behind him.

Sapphire stared at the door that Diamond had just walked through, a plan forming in his mind. When she wakes up...but what if she doesn't wake up? It would be relatively simple to keep her asleep, all he needed was some pentobarbital. Besides, it would have the added benefit of possibly fixing whatever brain damage might have been inflicted on her.

He snapped his fingers and a youma appeared, "Carry Sailor Moon to the medical room."

The youma picked up the girl and followed Sapphire down the hall.

The room that the Senshi stepped out into was something from a fairy tale. It's walls were cream and the windows were bay and looked out onto a gorgeous veranda. If the sky weren't dark and gloomy, it would have been any girl's dream, but the atmosphere put a dark tinge to the room.

Pluto and Parc were standing next to a man that Chibi-Usa held the hand of. They didn't get a chance to see more of him, because he bowed to the two adults and led the child from the room, his long blond hair flowing behind him.

Tuxedo Kamen cleared his throat, "Where are we?"

"Crystal Tokyo." Pluto said a tint of pride coloring her voice, just as a deeper voice said, "My home."

The Senshi wheeled around to face a man in a mask. His hair was dark and there was something distinctly familiar about both his face and his voice. The man glanced at Pluto, "Why are they here now? The Shitennou haven't even taken up their posts yet."

When the man spoke, something clicked in Tuxedo Kamen's mind, and he launched himself at the man, only to fly straight through him. Thanks to his quick reflexes, he was able to flip himself so he didn't fall. Glaring at the man who was giving him an amused look, he spat, "It's you. You're the ones who sent those damn dreams. That means that it is all your fault that she is gone!"

"What does he mean by that?" the man asked Pluto suspiciously. Pluto, who suddenly was really interested in the floor.

"I mean that because you sent those damn dreams, Usako was taken because I wasn't there to protect her."

"What?" the man shouted, "Since when does this happen? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he supposed to realize that the dreams were a test and live happily ever after?"

"A test?" Tuxedo Kamen said in a quiet, dangerous voice, "You put Usako's life on the line for a frickin test?"

A deep voice interrupted them, "Your majesty, calm down. It does no good to get over excited."

Out of a nearby corridor, three men stepped. Two tall and one medium height. The one who had spoken had long silver hair and a serious face. The shorter one had short blond hair and the other tall man had long brown hair. But, that is not why the Senshi stared at them aghast.

Mars screeched and clapped her hands together, raising her fingers. Jupiter spread her arms, energy crackling into her tiara.

"No." Pluto's commanding tone slammed through them and both dropped their arms in disbelief.

"No? What do you mean, no? Those are our enemies!" Mars hissed.

The shorter one turned to his companions and said conspiratorially, "Just once, I wish that Mars and Jupiter wouldn't leap into attack mode when they see us for the first time, it makes a man feel so unwelcome."

Mars glared at him, he was the most infuriating of the generals they had gone up against, it looked like that hadn't changed.

"Jadeite." The silver haired general said warningly. Kunzite, Venus' mind supplied.

"Stop." the hologram of the king ordered. "Pluto, explain."

The older woman nodded, but paused, "Shouldn't we introduce them," she said gesturing at the generals, "I think that Jupiter and Mars are about to attack, despite being told not to."

The girls in question blushed and put their hands behind their backs, attempting to look innocent. The king ran his fingers through his hair before saying, "Fine."

Jadeite stepped smartly forward and proclaimed, "I am General Jadeite of Neo-King Endymion's guard," he gave Mars an amused smirk, "and Mars' husband."

Mars leapt to her feet, and yelled, "That is not true! I would never have such bad taste as to marry a traitor!"

"This ring says you did." Jadeite said holding up his left hand, where there was a silver band.

Mars gaped at him, her mouth opening and closing like a fish. The brown haired man took this lull as time to introduce himself as Nephrite, a general of Neo King Endymion's guard. The last, of course, called himself Kunzite, leader of the guard.

"And I am Neo-King Endymion," The hologram said amused, and directing his gaze at Tuxedo Kamen, "Obviously your future self."

"I think I could hate time travel." Tuxedo Kamen said to himself.

Endymion chuckled, but soon his gaze snapped to Pluto, "Now. What is going on?"

"Time is a very delicate thing. When Parc distracted my attention, I was unable to watch the time I was supposed to, and in short, Sailor Moon is missing."

"Shit." Endymion cursed, "Do you have any idea where she is?"

Everyone except the Shitennou and king shook their heads. He growled, "And what exactly distracted you?"

Parc cleared his throat and raised his hand slightly, "That would be my fault your majesty, I...er...kinda changed what the stars said."

"And you know what happened," Pluto said angrily, "What happened is that he changed when the Shitennou met the Senshi."

"What?" Jadeite gasped.

"Oh yes." Pluto nodded, "Do you remember the first time Jed met Nathan?"

"Sure. He told me about how the stars know all, I told him to shove off, and we parted ways."

"Well, thanks to Parc, here, Nathan determined that the stars said that you had to meet four people in the park, and tackled Jed to the ground." Nephrite smirked and Jadeite winced, an amused look on his face. Pluto ignored them, "Then because you were fighting, Keenan decided it was his job to protect the peace and came up to you, just in time to be hit by Zane on a skateboard."

Jadeite and Nephrite were openly laughing now, while Pluto plowed on, "And then, somehow, Nathan was able to convince the other three to stay there. I really don't know how but he did. So he was able to spot Mamoru and Usagi having one of their fights about how she was always running into him. So of course, they thought they recognized him and chased after him. After which they told him his role in the Silver Millennium and Jed promptly decided to move in with him." At this point Pluto's voice was really quite low and growling at them. "Now, this seriously changes the timeline, and I was busy watching to see that everything works out in the end. It does, by the way, but still, it works better how you went through it, and just as I was about to find a way to change it back, Small Lady contacts me and tells me that Sailor Moon is missing."

"So what's the problem?" Jadeite asked, "Just have Parc change the stars back to the way they were."

Pluto ran her hand across her face, "Because it is too late, Sailor Moon is already gone and I can't prevent it because I didn't. Changing the earlier time stream would do nothing. Besides by the virtue that we are having this conversation, it is clear that I already fixed that crisis."

Jadeite frowned, "My head hurts."

Mars smirked and Ami said thoughtfully, "Oh, I get it. You have no idea where the time stream started going awry, because you were busy, you don't even know when she was stolen. We have over twelve hours in which it could have happened, and you don't know where it happened either. And because what Parc changed happened earlier in the time stream, because we are here in this particular future means that Pluto fixed the problem."

Pluto inclined her head, and Jadeite muttered, "Things were so much easier before time travel."
