"Small Lady, are you ready for your trip into the past?" Questioned
the guardian of time: Sailor Pluto.
"Hai, I have all I need. It will be fun taunting Onee-san again."
Pluto internally winced at what her queen would have to go through.
But, at the very least Small Lady's visits helped her majesty become
the understanding and patient queen that she was in the future.
Anyways she knew that her majesty treasured these visits by small
lady. So, she instead faintly smiled at small lady, turned around,
and using her staff opened a portal to the Gate of Spacetime.
Arriving at the gate she turned around facing Small Lady to remind
her about what not to do when she was in the past. "Pu I remember
your talks on not revealing the future, you don't have to give them
all to me again."
Pluto smiled, knowing that Small Lady would never do anything to mess
up the future, but the instruction were part of the ritual. So
satisfied with Small Lady's statement she pulled out one of her
crystal time keys and handed it to her. Standing back, she unlocked
the Gate of Spacetime and watched as Small Lady bounced her way into
the gate with Luna-P following quickly behind her.
In a short period, Small Lady would be in the past. Then it would be
time for her to return to the linear world as well. But, at a point
in time before Small Lady arrived, there were items to take care of
and setup before the Planet Busters' mess began.
"Don't worry she will make it there fine. Though, I don't know why
you don't send her on a side excursion first" mocked Q as he appeared
once again at the Gate.
"Q, I thought I told you to stay out of site till I called for you."
"You worry too much Pluto. In all the time that we have known each
other have you known me to screw up like that."
Pluto had to admit that while Q could be childish at times. His
pranks never really caused lasting trouble. And, those who were the
recipients of his pranks usually could use some pointing, though
rarely did they deserve the type of guidance that Q would provide.
But at least he proved to be a somewhat enjoyable companion. There
were other beings in the megaverse that were much more dreadful to be
around.

The Delta Quadrant
"Status Mr. Kim"
"Captain, engineering reports the Singularity Drive is on-line and
ready to engage. All systems look good and we can enter the
slipstream at your command." Replied the Ops officer, Harry Kim.
"Mr. Paris Engage the Singularity Drive"
Tom Paris turned back to his station and prepared the ship to enter
the slipstream. The ship was already cruising at warp 9 and as he
entered the commands the nacelles gave an additional burst of energy
and the ship jumped into the slipstream leaving their universe. No
longer was the ship constrained to be fixed to one point on the fifth
dimension. Now it moved freely amongst them all. As the drive
continued to pulse, the ship began to merge with the very fabric of
Spacetime itself.

In the Time Stream
Princess Usagi looked around herself fascinated by what she saw. The
previous two times through the time stream, she did not take the
opportunity to enjoy the journey. This was quite understandable as
the first time the Dark Moon Family was after her and her mother was
encased in a crystal. And, when she returned after that trip she was
too eager to see her loved ones safe and sound again. But, this time
she was in no rush and could take a little time to enjoy the trip.
The stream was a fascinating display of lights as the stream twisted
and contorted itself. However, she always kept focused on her
destination. She did not want to get lost in the time-stream. Pluto
had only opened one path for her, and if she lost that path, she
would be forever trapped in the time-stream. While that risk may have
worried a grown adult, Usagi barely paid it any attention as she
traveled down the path.
A light flash to her right grabbed her attention. She thought to herself. The
object in question appeared to have an oval like structure, was
grayish and was definitely not a natural part of the stream. While to
her it looked no bigger than a cat, it was in reality far larger than
that. From its rear half protruded two long thin cylinders, which
glowed a soft blue. As she watched they began to pulse and to her
surprise, her crystal time key began to pulse as well. Suddenly there
was a bright flash of light. Her last thought before the light hit
her was her wondering what her mother was like when she first became
Sailor Moon.

Voyager: Also in the Time Stream
Soon after Paris engaged, the singularity drive the ship had begun to
transverse the fifth dimension. As the bridge crew gazed out the main
viewer, they observed the singularity. Janeway's musings were
interpreted by a warning klaxon going off. "Mr. Kim report."
"Captain, I am detecting another energy signature in the
singularity." Harry reported
"Confirmed, there is a second energy signature and it is beginning to
pulse." Seven added. With that comment, the ship shook violently.
Quickly sizing up the situation Seven added: "Captain our warp
engines have begun to pulse with that other energy source. In
addition our pulses are resonating with each other."
Following that pronouncement the ship began to shake nonstop. Tom
Paris hands rapidly flew over the helm controls trying to stabilize
the ship. But his efforts were to no avail, as the shaking kept
getting worse.
"Warning, structural integrity field failure." The ship's computer
added.
Janeway saw the situation quickly spiraling out of control. If action
was not taken soon there would be no Voyager left to make it back to
earth. "Mr. Paris disengage the Singularity Drive and then bring us
to a full stop."
As Mr. Paris disengaged the drive system, the engines gave one final
pulse, which this time set off a brilliant flash of light. Voyager
was propelled back into real space. While everyone was reasonable
okay, the ship was a different story. The final pulse fried both the
warp core and the backup fusion reactors for the impulse engines. The
ship was left tumbling dead in an unknown region of space.

The Gate of Spacetime
". Now remember Q if anyone should approach the gate give me a call
and I will return right away."
"Pluto I have known you for millennia, you should know by now that I
know what to do. Take a vacation have some fun. Heck, after your done
with your little job why don't you take me up on my offer to visit
Jean-Luc. I hear he has a nice new ship to play with." As Pluto gave
Q an evil eye, he amended his statement to "or you could just pay a
social call."
Suddenly Pluto shivered and twirled around to face the gate. "Pluto
is something wrong?"
"I am not sure but. DUCK!!" Pluto suddenly cried out before diving
for what passed as the ground here. Q too startled by her sudden
declaration was caught off guard, as the gates were suddenly blown
open by a large shockwave.
Slowly getting up, Pluto found a very dazed and banged up Q on the
ground. "Owe that hurt a lot." Pronounced Q. "What the heck just
happened?"
"There has been a disturbance in the time stream. You were hit by the
temporal discharge. "Oh no, Small Lady!" The guardian cried out as
she realized who was probably still in the stream at the time of the
blast. Unfortunately, she could not take the time to check on Small
Lady's condition, as the damage from the blast would need to be
rectified first. Left unchecked the instabilities caused by the blast
could destroy all of time. Looking at the flow of time closely, Pluto
quickly realized that the damage was beyond bad, it was critical.
Normally there was always some leeway in the future, but now it was
completely fluid.
As she watched, the fluidity moved quickly along the fourth dimension
into the past. Pluto was lost as to the course of action to take to
stop the collapse of the future she was charged with protecting. But,
then the front of fluidity stopped. As she examined the time-line,
she saw that her queen was safe. And, to her delight, she saw that
Small Lady had also safely made it into the past. However, it
appeared that her temporal destination was off, but with what
happened, that was a minor price for her safety.
Therefore, Pluto decided to begin on her task of repairing the Gate
of Spacetime and to figure out what had caused the blast that almost
destroyed the megaverse itself. Pluto mused to herself. The task of repairing the damage while
tedious did have one major advantage, in that it kept her from
thinking about the consequence of the fluidity of the future. Pluto
was used to knowing all of time from her place at the Gate of Space-
Time, but now she could only see up to the point where Small Lady
arrived in the past. Everything else was unknown to her. The Gate
itself had become linear once again, and that frightened her very
dearly.

Tokyo, 20th Centaury
Over an alley, a pink cloud appeared and just as quickly disappeared,
but not before spitting out a pink haired child. Small Lady came
flying out upside down and on a trajectory for a landing in a
dumpster. "Yuck. Pu there better be a good reason why you had me
deposited in a dumpster." The pink haired child said picked her self
up and cleaned herself off. Luna-P
was always hovering around the princess and its absence was a source
of worry for Small Lady. Looking around she came across a saddening
sight as she found Luna-P shredded a couple meters away from her.
"Oh no, Luna-P" she cried out as she picked up the remains of the
floating cathead.
