The scenes where Minako become Venus aren't flashbacks, they are happening in an alternate universe.

Chapter 8: Can't Escape her Gaze.
"So," Minako said, as she parked in her drive way. "You little freeloader."
Rei grinned. She knew what Minako was getting at. "I'll pay for the next pizza."
"Good girl," Minako cooed as she stepped out of the truck and helped Rei with her bags. "I said come stay with me for the weekend and you pack up your whole wardrobe."
"Hey, you never know where we might go. I have to pack a little something for every occasion."
"Speaking of going somewhere, do you want to go a new club that just opened up in the red light district."
"There is no karaoke correct?" Rei asked, following the young blonde into the house.
"No," Minako sighed. " I know how much you hate karaoke, I wouldn't ask you to go if it was."
"You're right, you'd be hooking up with Usagi and hittin' the town without me."
Minako grinned.
"Don't feel bad," Artemis said, meeting them at the top of the stairs. "She never takes me to the club with her either."
"The first time I tried to take you, you freaked out about the flashing lights and the loud music." Minako defended.
"I'm ready to try again," he told her.
"I'd rather not have a repeat of the first time," she told him. "and anyway I want to go out with Rei tonight."
"Yeah, with me." she teased, Heading into Minako's room and dropping her crap next Minako's computer desk.
Minako logged onto the internet in search of a dress code for the new club they'd be going to for entertainment for the night.
"I a semi-formal club," Minako told Rei.
"Should I go with something that says, " To hot to touch" or "out of your league but still approachable."" Rei asked, sitting comfortably on her knees as she sifted through her clothing looking for something suitable to wear.
Minako stood up and grabbed Rei's hands urging her to feet. She pulled her close and whispered.
"How about a little of both,"
Rei gulped as she felt Minako hands travel over the curves of her hips, making their way across her shapely legs and back up again.
"Or," She began as she turned Rei away from her.
Rei slightly relaxed in the blondes arms until she looked up saw their reflection on Minako's closet mirrors. They looked amazing together.
"WE could go as "Out of you league but still approachable."" Minako grinned at Rei's semi-aroused expression, and laughed when the other girl grinned back.
"Good idea." Rei said, trying to calm herself down quickly.

Venus—
"There she is," Venus told Kitan, nodding toward the Maranian queen.
"What are you?" Kitan teased. "Afraid?"
"No," Venus retorted. "She's my ex girlfriend."
Kitan stopped laughing. "How'd you manage to lose a piece of ass like that."
Venus glared at her. "I suppose she just wanted to try other things."
"You mean other people," Kitan said.
"Same difference," Venus blanched. "She's coming this way. Go distract her."
"And how to you suppose I do that?" Kitan asked.
"Ask her to dance, she loves dancing."
"I can't dance," Kitan replied as she walked toward the Maranian queen.
"Good evening," Kitan said stopping Mars.
"Good evening," She offered a polite smile.
"I would be honored to have the next dance," Kitan offered her arm.
"I…" Mars made eye contact with Venus and sighed. "Would like very much to dance with you."
Venus exhaled the breath she didn't realize she'd been holding. Her new lady knight was coming through for her.

"Dear goddess," Minako mumbled, as Rei sat in front of her desk. Waiting for Minako to finish applying her make-up. They were nearly ready to go.
"Alright gorgeous," Minako finished. "How's that?"
Minako stood back and watched as Rei checked her make-up.
"Perfect," Rei told her. Kissing her on the cheek.
Rei looked Minako over the younger girl wore a simple form fitting blue button up and a loose black skirt, silver neck lace and a simple pair of silver ear rings.
Rei wore a black dress with thin straps, the dress went just past her knees with a pair of black open toe high heels.
"I'll carry ID's and you carry the cash." Minako said.
"No way, my chest is large enough without the little extra the cash gives. You take it." Rei countered quickly snatching the ID's and handing Minako the money who stashed it in her bra.
"I would buy a pair of those underwear with a pocket on the front that you would put a condom in and use it to stash our cash, but that could be just way wrong to hand to someone if you've been dancing all night and you've sweated on it."
Rei got a good laugh out of that one. "They'd probably sniff it afterward."
"Now that's disgusting," Minako grabbed, her casual dress coat and watch as Rei rummaged through her closet for her leather one she'd left a few weeks ago.
"I'm so ready to party," Rei followed Minako out to the car.
-- Venus--
"When you go back to your queen tell her she won't be able to avoid me forever." Mars said. "It was cute of her to send you over here to attempt to distract me."
" I am sorry," Kitan played. " I'm afraid I don't know what your talking about."
" That's alright," Mars smiled. "She got herself a smooth liar this time. You should have met the last one she had."
"I have," Kitan said honestly. " I don't see why she kept him around."
"He lied worse that Artemis," Mars said.
"Who is Artemis?" Kitan asked curiously.
"Venus's feline boyfriend." Mars laughed. "He's so adorable, fuzzy, cuddly and gives pretty good advice."
Kitan nodded, not understanding what the Mars was talking about.
Mars stared passed Kitan and locked gazes with Venus.
The blonde shuttered at the intensity in which the goddess of fire bore into her. She understood perfectly what the look meant. Venus wouldn't be able to avoid the maranian queen for long. She already felt her resolve crumbling.
