Volume 1: Time Begins! Sailor P emerges!
Setting: A mysterious planet-far away from the rest. Here darkness enfolds the few life forms who dare to live in the shadows. There is a beautiful castle of glimmering sliver encased in a veil of starlight. There is nothing frightening here-though dark swarms into every corner. There, lurking in the vast void of darkness is a gate. A gate-white as the moonlight-reflecting all time-time past-time to come-it holds all. There is only one - the chosen- who can pass through the gate. She is the guardian of time itself, the one brought forth to ensure time would follow it's rightful course; she is the mysterious Sailor P!
Sailor P: (holding time key) I see they have come. The planets now all hold life. No one knows why they are here or where they came from, but they will- in time. I know I have come as a protector of the gates of time, as an advisor, as a direction for all time.
Taichos: Come on! Cut the hero junk. Blah, blah, blah. Why can't I be the guardian of time. It's not fair. I would have made a great guardian of time. Any one of those suckers out there could do it (sweeping arm towards the life forms moving about on other planets) just as well as our little green haired princess here could.
Luna: Can it Taichos or you will be one of those suckers out there (sweeps paws towards planets-mimicing Taichos). We thought you were up for the job, but your jealousy is much to strong. We must teach you to serve your master. Sailor P does have a lot of responsibility - guarding time isn't easy!
Artemis: Luna! You are always protecting Sailor P. She doesn't have to wave around her wisdom and wonders like some sort of...of....female. She does kind of push the whole "Look how cool I am" thing in poor Taichos' face!
Sailor P: Sigh. You guys! Always fighting. I wasn't trying to do any harm. I was only saying WE have a big job ahead of us. It's time to get started.
Taichos: It's time? I bet only the guardian of time could know that. I wanted to be the guardian of time. But no...instead I get to be her servant. Whoopie........
Luna: TAICHOS!
Taichos: (sulking) Sorry.
Sailor P: (chuckles) Oh-he will come around with time. They all do.
Artemis: (under his breath) And I get to spend all time with these three. Goodie.
(All four walk slowly back to the castle in silence. They all sit down in the main room of the castle. It is almost empty. A circle of fire burns in the center of the room. Four small chairs surround the fire. In the center of the fire is a beautiful pedistal. On top sits a plush pillow holding Sailor P's garnet orb. The fire seems to lick the orb and it's image dances across the faces of the few inhabitants of Pluto. Sailor P, Artemis, Luna, and Taichos look at eachother restlessly. Sailor P is the first to speak)
Sailor P: We must wait. My orb shows no signs of disturbance.
Taichos: I think I see something in the orb.
Luna: You're kidding! No one can see into the orb but Sailor P!
Taichos: No really. There is something here. I see a small grey spot. A cloud. Distress is coming in the near future! *sob* Mommy! I want my mommy!
Luna: Shut up Taichos. You don't have a mommy!
Artemis: Have a heart. Taichos is right - look a small grey spot. We have met our doom.
Sailor P: I do not believe it! So soon? No - it cannot be. Let me see. I would have known before now if something was coming! (looking closer). Hmmm...... (starts to laugh)
Taichos: What? What's wrong?
Luna: (also looking closer. Reaches up and smacks Taichos) You Lugnut! You had us all worried. There's no grey spot across time! It's only ash - from the fire! (She touches the spot and it flutters away)
Taichos: (looking quite sheepish) Well..yes, it is. I-I-I knew that the whole time. Yah that's it.
Luna: I'm sure.
Tiachos: (grumbling) I'm going to sleep.
Artemis: Me too.
Luna: (yawn) I think it is getting rather late. What about your Sailor P?
Sailor P: No. I think I'll check the gate one more time.
Luna:Suit yourself
Taichos: She thinks she's too good for sleep
Sailor P: (sighs and leaves. She wanders to the gate, where she sits and leans against the gate) Time is wonderful. I cannot wait to see what the new day brings. Life, love, destruction:one will never know. I can see what I need in my orb, yet time is the determining factor of all reality.
Luna: Sailor P? Sorry I was so snappy today. That kid-Taichos just bugs me though!
Sailor P: Luna! You followed me?
Luna: I need to talk to you. I think we need to form a council.
Sailor P: A council?
Luna: If we let people run around doing as they like nothing will happen. We need two people from each planet to represent their needs. We need law.
Sailor P: You are right. Chaos causes destruction. Leaders will emerge from each planet. We will appoint them Queens and Kings.
Luna: And the final authority?
Sailor P: The moon. The moon will rule all.
Luna: The moon? Why not Pluto?
Sailor P: We are advisors, not rulers.
Luna: Then it is set. We will consult the rest of the planets tomorrow.
Taichos: The moon? Who ever heard of such stupidity. Why the moon? That makes no sense. The moon is nothing compared to the power of Pluto.
Sailor P: I have my reasons. Time will come for you to understand. Now-we all need energy. We will prepare for tomorrow. Get rest.
Luna: Yeah, Tiachos. Listen to Setsuna.
Taichos: (rolls eyes) At least I'm not a stupid living furball
Sailor P: (shaking head) You two, what am I going to do?
(They all retreat back to the castle where they prepare for a good rest. Artemis is already fast asleep)
Artemis: Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z ...........Luna is the best..........Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z
Luna: And me without a tape recorder, what will I do?
Sailor P: Good-night
Luna: Night
Taichos: Don't let the living furball bite
Luna: TAICHOS!!!
Artemis: Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z ........
Sailor P: (sigh)
(Finally all is quiet on Pluto. The quartet is fast asleep - each dreaming about the wonders time will bring.)
