Tomoe Kaori sighed and rolled her eyes up to the heavens as
she heard another dull explosion from her husband's basement lab. She
wiped her hands on her apron, brushed her long red hair back and went
to see if her husband needed medical assistance. Again.

"Why doesn't he experiment on something much less ... explosive
the next time ?"

It's not any fun.

 she asked herself as she walked into the corridor. Yuki

and Mimi, her two eldest daughters, were fighting over the phone again.

"No ! I got here first, so I get to use it !" said Yuki as she
pulled at the phone.

Mimi: Who cares if you got here first? I'm the one with the baseball bat
in her hand. Now give me the damn phone!

"I'm waiting for Yoshi to call ! Put that back down !" Mimi said
as she pulled one of of Yuki's red ponytails while her elder sister was
tearing at her blonde curls.

Kaori ignored the two and continued on her walk towards her
husband's lab. She looked out as she passed by a window and saw the twins
helping Miyuki with her plants in the garden. Sayuri and Hotaru must be
down at the lab, Kaori thought and she let herself smile. Sayuri, with

her

mane of snow-white hair, and Hotaru, her husband's daughter by his first
wife, already had the same drive and intelligence that their father
possesed.

Considering what is happening to the lab, is this necessarily a good
thing?

She stopped at a blank wall with a keypad on the side. She quickly
pressed in the security passcode. It had just been a minor explosion or

else

the alarms would have sounded all over the entire Tomoe residence,
immediately alerting the police and fire departments.

Heh. Nice to know they are prepared, though.

was near tears.
Must be the shock. She decided she was going to have a long talk with her
husband and daughters after they fixed this mess up. She hurriedly went

to

comfort her while her two daughters picked up nearby fire extinguishers.
They were all too distracted to see a message flash across a computer
monitor. The words "QUANTUM BAND TRANSFER 50% INCOMPLETE"

Whoops.

were blinking in
big white letters on the black background before the monitor fizzled and
sparks sprang from the nearby equipment. It was completely covered when
Hotaru hosed the table with carbon foam.

Outside, a man dressed in black disappeared in a blur, after putting
a small black object back into the long ankle-length coat he was wearing.

Hmm. Interesting.

Things happen.

You know, weird _things_. Things that boggle the mind. Things that
usually begin with Rod Serling coming out of nowhere with his calm

monotone

narrator's voice blabbing about the Twilight Zone.

But that's not the sort of thing this particular tidbit of strangeness
needs to begin with. What it needs is two Plutos,

No. I don't think that there is any circumstance which would merit two
Plutos, unless one of them is a Disney canine.


different versions of each

other, both unaware of each other's existence, waking up with their

temporal

senses screaming, "DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER !"

However the moment passed and the two Plutos didn't sense anything
else. Just that small little screaming that suddenly stopped as it began.

I think: ...screaming that stopped as suddenly as it began.

sounds better to me

One Pluto shrugged and went back to sleep, dreaming dreams of
childhood and marriages and faceless people.

One Pluto shrugged and went back to sleep, snuggling up to Michiru,
who made that contented sound that one usually hears from the sleeping.

Snoring, gasping, or wheezing? ^_^

**************************

Haruka Ten'ou was waking up.

She grumbled a bit as the light hit her eyes. Michiru must have
opened the windows already. She was going back to sleep when she noticed
something.

She was cuddled up to someone.

That someone was a man.

Ordinarily, this is not a problem. But since this is  Haruka...

man, not noticing his bedmate's state, transferred his kiss to her mouth,
initiating a full-blown passionate kiss. With tongue. If that wasn't

enough

Haruka felt a hand come up, slowly caressing her legs and moving to her
breast and give a light squeeze.

Heh. Someone is in for a rude awakening.

She was rudely interrupted by Haruka, whose eyes had widened into
the size of saucer plates, saying "MOM ?!"

The teenager's eyebrow twitched.

"Dear, it seems that there's something wrong here if you don't even
recognize your own daughter. I think we should see Plu-"

He didn't finish since he needed to catch his wife as she fainted.

Heh.

**********************

Haruka stirred once again and opened her eyes. Slowly. She took
everything in carefully. Okay, this looks like the room I share with

Michiru.

Not that the room where she woke up in the arms of a strange man was any
different, but she needed to calm herself.

She sighed in relief as she saw Michiru sitting on the left side of
the bed. She was dressed in a fashionable blouse and skirt outfit and had

a

worried look on her face. Must have screamed or something. That dream was
really weird. That's right, a dream,

Not bloody likely.

Wait a damn minute.

Something was definitely wrong here. There was no way in hell that
she could have married a man.

"I don't know you. You or him," Haruka said as she pointed the man.
"The last thing I remember was me going to bed with Michiru last night."

Heh. That one is going to go over really well.

She tried her best, but there was no way in not enjoying it. Both
Haruka and the man looked at each other for quite some time, emerald

green

eyes meeting silver gray ones. Haruka felt a pleasurable sensation go
through her mind, twice as enjoyable as the initial feelings that had
bombarded her. It caressed her consciousness and she reveled in it and
accepted it, even as she tried to refuse. It was as if her own mind was
rebelling against her, seeking the pleasure that the feeling gave.

Probably is.

To the
two other persons in the room, it was as if Haruka was entranced by the

man's

eyes.

Michiru flinched as she saw the look on Haruka's face. A thousand or
so years with Setsuna and you're still not over her, she thought

ruefully.

"A link ? Auntie, why's - " The young girl said as she turned to
Michiru.

"Shhhh." Michiru shushed her and motioned her to keep silent.

"You really don't know about all of this don't you ?" Sorano said as
he blinked once and broke the spell. Haruka felt as if she was coming off

a

massive rush. I've only

I've only? I don't get it. If it was an interupted thought, perhaps using
a '--' would be best.

"Pretending ? We weren't pretending, Michiru. At least she wasn't. I
still have some scars to prove it," Sorano said as he smiled ruefully. He
already had that faraway nostalgic look in his eyes, as he started to

board

on what was probably a trainload of memories.

Haruka decided to derail the train before it left the station.

Heh. Nice turn of the phrase.

The young girl moved and took Haruka's hand in hers. "Mom, what
happened ? You were fine last night...heck, from what I could hear

through

the wall, you were _very_ fine." she said, finishing with a wide grin and
a meaningful look to both Haruka and her father.

My, what a pervered little girl she is.

Haruka couldn't help herself
and smiled back. She felt the girl give her a reassuring grip. Then she
suddenly realized what the young girl's statement was implying, she went
pale.

No way...

Sorano's cheeks colored almost the same time. "As lecherous as her
mother..."

See. I was right. ^_^

Haruka could hear him mumble from where he stood.

Haruka tried to calm herself again. No way. No way in a million years
could I have had sex with a man. Trying to distract herself from that

line of

thinking she asked the girl, "So, as I've been asking repeatedly, who are

you

two supposed to be ?"

The young girl made a face and looked to her father. "As I said, she
doesn't know." Sorano said as he started to run his hand through his hair
again.

"Well ?" Haruka said impatiently.

Michiru decided to answer the question for the two. "Haruka, that's
your husband, Sorano Chiba. This is your daughter, Yukiyo Ten'ou-Chiba."

Husband ? Daughter ? Haruka's mind was starting to short out again.

Hence, the acrid smell of ozone that assailed the others' noses as smoke
poured out of Haruka's ears.

What the hell...

"How..."  she articulated as she was trying to figure things out in
her head.

"Your parents engaged you when you were sixteen and you got married
as soon as you reached eighteen." Setsuna said as she materialized by the
bed. She was in her Senshi uniform and held her Time Staff in both hands.

"Hello, Auntie Setsuna!" Yukiyo said as she waved a hello to the
Guardian of Time. Auntie Setsuna ? Haruka thought to herself with a

snicker.

Then she saw something that almost faint again.

...almost made her faint again.

She saw Michiru give Setsuna
a passionate kiss

Wha! I didn't see that one coming!

and Setsuna was giving as good as she got.

Heh.

"Will you please stop doing that in front of my daughter. You're
being a bad influence." Sorano admonished, a joking smile on his face.

"Mom ? You okay ?" Yukiyo asked her mother. Haruka was gaping at the
two of them. "Better close your mouth, Mom. A fly could get it in."

The pair stopped several moments later after hearing Yukiyo's
comments about coming up for air.

"So what seems to be the problem ?" Setsuna asked, in a tone that
Haruka never heard before from the Guardian of Time. She

I'd say Setsuna there instead of she. Seems a bit confusing otherwise.

was a lot chipper

than she was supposed to be. She was still in shock at the scene she had
witnessed. Setsuna with Michiru ?

Kind of my reaction to, and I know next to nothing about SM.

"You're the Guardian of Time and you don't know ?

Setsuna: Hey! My watch broke. So sue me.

It's 1995 !" she
said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Every other person in the room looked at each other, giving each
other meaningful gazes.

"What !?" Haruka suddenly started to get really nervous. Setsuna shook
her head and glanced at Sorano again, then back to Haruka.

"The year is 3207 Anno Domini. It has been three hundred years or so
since the establishment Crystal Tokyo and the Crystal Millenium."

_That_ was when Haruka fainted again.

Heh. Nice work. Interesting set up, but a bit too brief for my taste.
Still, enjoyable, though.
