"So, why didn't you tell me you were a senshi too?" Orianna asked as she looked at Gabrielle from her position on the couch.

"I had no reason to mention it. Besides, I'm not normal...or like other sailor soldiers...as far as I know anyway. You were the first one I met. Would you have believed that I was chosen by God to be His champion if I just out and said it first?" Gabrielle asked leaning against the back of the couch with her arms folded against her chest.

Several moments of silence hung in the air as both of them contemplated the days events. A grumbling from Orianna's stomach broke the silence.

"Oh, silly me... I forgot completely about dinner." Gabrielle said truthfully. Ever since she became an angel and the Heavenly Soldier, she never had to eat. It was just simply a novelty now since she didn't need to worry about food, though on occasion she did eat with gusto. "So, what'll it be? Take out food? Something home cooked?"

Orianna's eyes immediately sparkled at the phrase 'take out'. It had been a while since she last been to a fast food restaurant.

"Oooh! Take out?! Take out food?! Can we go?! Please?! My parents never went to restaurants!!! It's always cooked at home, I wanna go out. Please?" Orianna squealed with a pleading look in her eyes.

"A restaurant it is then. What kind of food shall it be?" Gabrielle replied as she stood up.

"Let's go to a hamburger place!" Orianna said, sounding excited.

"Sure thing. Any other questions about the whole situation before we go?" Gabrielle said as she went to pick up her purse and coat.

"Well, I'm wondering how I am supposed to get home if I'm not in the same dimension? And what if Pluto isn't the same Pluto? And even if she is, would she let me go back home? I don't know, I'm still kinda confused about the whole thing." Orianna blinked.

"Honestly, I wouldn't know." Gabrielle paused with her hand reaching out for her coat. "Until I met you, I wasn't even aware that these planetary sailor soldiers even existed. Though why Pluto would be in charge of time, I'm not sure. I've read a few different forms of mythology, but they always indicated that Pluto was connected to death and Saturn was connected with time. Who knows? Maybe I just remember things wrong... But for now, time for food!"

"Yay!" Orianna shouted, then waited for Gabrielle to get ready.

"Here, you'll need this. It gets chilly after dark." Gabrielle said as she tossed a lavender sweater to Orianna after grabbing her own coat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, why doesn't he talk?" Orianna asked just above a whisper. The topic was Snowbelle and fortunately, they had stopped off at a hamburger fast food place that didn't have very many customers during the evening.

"Verbally? I guess he's more of like the rest of his 'family' so to speak... He doesn't have the capability to do so. No...he does all of his communication mentally via ESP. As far as I know, I've been the only one capable to understand him...well, myself and the Boss of course." Gabrielle added before sipping on her cup of hot coffee.

Orianna looked confused, she tilted her head to the side as she took a bite out of her hamburger, chewing thoughtfully.

"But, my dove can talk....in fact, we get into more arguments than Luna and Usagi-chan does..." Orianna pouted, then shrugged. Orianna giggled at the thought of how much her bird followed her like her shadow. She rolled her eyes. "He follows me EVERYWHERE and I just want to be alone to think for a while, but he won't let me be by myself. Reminds me of my parents, sheesh... Once he even followed me into school, and almost caused a mess."

"Well, that's a major difference between Snowbelle and Oreo...At any rate, we still have to figure out how to get you home. It'd take a miracle outside of Pluto showing up...and that's out of my department." Gabrielle said with a slight sigh.

A single tear slid down her cheek as Orianna thought about not being able to see her friends again; Ami, Minako, Makoto, Usagi. She'd definitely miss all of them, and the thought of never being able to see them again made her sad. "How am I going to get home??"

'Gabby...' the faint mental voice of Snowbelle entered Gabrielle's mind from his perch outside. 'Boss says that a message has been sent...Not sure what he meant but it sounded urgent enough for me to get here as soon as possible.'

"I'm not sure how, but I have a feeling you will." Gabrielle said to Orianna with a warm smile.

Orianna sighed, then nodded. She took another bite of her hamburger and began staring off into space, wondering how she was going to get home and wondering if she would ever see her friends again. After finishing the last bite of her hamburger, she took a sip of her soda and leaned back in her seat, twirling the straw around in her drink.

"I wonder what Mamoru-chan would do if he was here." Orianna said, not talking to anyone in particular.

Orianna sighed again, still not really talking to anyone. "I hope everybody at home is okay..."

"Hoping and moping isn't going to get you anywhere, you know..." Gabrielle told Orianna.

"I know, I'm sorry." Orianna blinked, then shook her head. Brushing a strand of purple hair behind her ears, she smiled and said, "It's just that I'm getting worried now. We were in a battle before I got sucked into this dimension somehow, and I just can't help but worry...but you're right though, I shouldn't be worrying. With Sailor Moon around I'm sure they're okay!"

"We'll find a way to get you home, somehow." Gabrielle said re-assuringly.

"Hey babe...what'cha doing in a dive like this?!" an unknown teen said as he attempted to look cool to the two girls there in the booth.

"Conducting an experiment..." Gabrielle said blandly.

"Oh, and what's that, sweet cheeks?" the teen said with a sneer.

"It's called 'How well do you test against heat and ice.'" Gabrielle said as she lifted up her still mostly full cup of coffee. "Care to be our guinea pig?"

"Sounds kinky..." the boy said with a raised eyebrow.

"If you had two working brain cells, you'd know what's coming next..." Gabrielle sighed before getting Orianna's attention. After mouthing the words 'Three, two, one..', Gabrielle removed the lid from her coffee and threw it at him before shouting, "PERVERT!"

As to add insult to injury, Gabrielle removed the lid to Orianna's soda and dumped it, ice and all, down the back side of the boy's low hanging loose fitting blue jeans before running out the door after Orianna.

"And that, Oro-chan, is what you call a Jerkasaurus." Gabrielle said after they made their way far from the fast food joint.

Orianna, who wasn't used to running even after all those times as a sailor soldier, began feeling very weak and tired. Her throat was burning, she only nodded in reply. After a few moments of rest to catch their breath, Gabrielle noticed Orianna's tiredness.

"Maybe we should worry about getting you home tomorrow...You look like you could use a good solid eight hours of sleep." Gabrielle said.

Orianna nodded and said barely above a whisper, "Yeah..."

"C'mon... I have a quick way home, hop on my back." Gabrielle said as she crouched in front of Orianna.

Orianna almost did an anime fall, but stopped herself halfway and sweatdropped. "Are you sure?"

"If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't offer. Besides, the only other option is that I unceremoniously drag you after you've fallen asleep." Gabrielle said with a nod.

With that, Orianna climbed onto Gabrielle's back. Gabrielle silently hoped that her plan to fly with added weight would work, and fortunately, it did. Before long, Gabrielle was landing in front of the bungalow and opening the door with a now asleep Orianna still clinging on her back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning Orianna woke up and heard Gabrielle talking with someone. At first, she couldn't tell who it was that Gabrielle was talking with. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, Orianna yawned as she walked out of the room she was temporarily using. Just as soon as she padded into the dining room, Orianna stopped in her tracks and gasped.

"Setsuna-chan!" Orianna squealed in delight as she ran and practically knocked Setsuna over.

Gabrielle blinked a few times in surprise at the unexpected display of emotion.

"Setsuna-chan! Setsuna!" Orianna exclaimed repeatedly, at the same time as she hugged and squeezed Setsuna, who was slightly sweatdropping in mild embarrassment.

"I'm glad to see you're happy." Gabrielle said with a warm smile. "Setsuna and I've been talking all night about what to do next."

"Setsuna-chan is here, YAAAAAAAAY! I'm so glad to see you!!!!!" Orianna exclaimed, clinging to Setsuna's arms.

"Boy, I don't envy you...Don't know how you manage to live, much less hear, with the decibels being put out...and you mentioned how Ms. Tsukino behaves. Nope... I don't envy you one bit!" Gabrielle muttered from behind her coffee cup.

"Oro-chan, calm down won't you?" Setsuna said sternly. "We have much to do to get you back to the battle."

Orianna grinned as she nodded. "Sorry..."

"We better transform now when we have the chance since after we get there, we'd be sitting ducks if we don't." Gabrielle said as she stood up and placed her hand on her necklace.

"We?" Orianna asked, not sure if she heard Gabrielle correctly.

"Yes, we. I'm coming along to help and then I get brought back here. It took all night do figure out how we're going to do it, but it's worth the risks." Gabrielle replied.

Orianna blinked, the nodded taking out her transformation necklace.

"Savior Soul Power, Make Up!" Gabrielle called out her transformation phrase.

"Gallia Galaxy Power, Make Up!" Orianna yelled out.

"Pluto Planet Power, Make Up!" Setsuna exclaimed.

The combined energies between the three completely different sailor soldiers swirled in a vortex of brilliant light. Moments later, Sailor Savior, Sailor Gallia and Sailor Pluto stood in a circle with their respective staffs at the ready. Sailor Pluto then opened a time portal.

"Remember, time is huge. Stay connected to each other and we'll make it through." Sailor Pluto said as they each held hands and proceeded to go through the portal.

Going through the time portal was a new experience for Sailor Savior. She almost let go a few times to take a better look. It took a while, but they managed to make it to the scene of the attack.

"With a portal like that, there's no telling where she'll end up!" Sailor Jupiter had said as the portal that originally swallowed up Sailor Gallia closed.

When Sailor Gallia spotted her friends again, her eyes widened and she smiled as she called each of their names, "Sailor Moon! Sailor Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter! Chibimoon, Tuxedo Kamen!"

Sailor Chibimoon looked up and noticed the three, smiling at them. "Huh? Hey, she's back! But how?"

Sailor Moon also looked up, but looked confused. "Yeah and Sailor Pluto's with her! And who's the other sailor soldier?"

Sailor Venus grinned. "Who cares, our friend is back! You know what they say, 'When there's a way, there's a will!'"

Sailor Mercury sweatdropped. "It's where there's a will, there's a way..."

Sailor Venus giggled, rubbing the back of her head at her mistake, "Oops."

Tuxedo Kamen looked up at them as well, thinking. 'Sailor Pluto must've found a way to bring Sailor Gallia back.'

S and M looked incredulously at Sailor Gallia that they were sure that they had just disposed of and the two other sailor soldiers that appeared with her.

"What in the hell?" S muttered.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" M said.

"I haven't been gone for very long and already you've forgotten me? I am Sailor Gallia, Soldier of protection and guidance for all the lost souls in the universe! Your defiance will not be tolerated!"

"Invited by the new era, I am the soldier of revolution, Sailor Pluto."

"Sent to Earth by God Himself, I am the heavenly sailor suited soldier of righteousness, Sailor Savior. On behalf of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I will smite the wicked. REPENT!"

"Sailor Savior? Bwahahahahaha! How perfectly inane!" M nearly doubled over with laughter.

"What are you going to do? Crucify us?" S said with a smirk.

"Ooh...haha.." M still was laughing in spurts. "What next? Public flogging?!"

"As if nine sailor soldiers and Tuxedo Kamen's help weren't enough?" Sailor Pluto muttered within earshot of Sailor Savior.

"So, what? Are you saying that we're just your play toys and that you could topple us easily?" Sailor Savior called out to S and M.

"You're one to talk! Before you showed up, and though the odds were against us, we had the upper hand...no, we still have it, too." S replied coolly.

"Well then, let's improve those odds for the good guys, hmm?" Sailor Gallia said. "It's now ten to two in our favor."

"I can make it even sweeter." Sailor Savior added.

"Oh? You and what army?"

"Thought you'd never ask!" Sailor Savior replied as she lifted up her Soul Staff. "Celestial Reinforcement!"

Upon calling out the attack, Sailor Savior cusped her hands above her head, then closed her eyes as her arms lowered to chest level and straighten out to the sides. She brought her hands together and tucked her arms close to her chest as her left foot crossed in front of her right foot. She turned a full three hundred sixty degrees clockwise before opening her eyes and lowered her arms to her sides. After a momentary flash of light, Sailor Savior suddenly stood in front of a legion of sword and shield wielding angels that awaited her command.

S and M's eyes bulged as their chances of surviving this battle dwindled down to zero.

"Spread out. Make sure everybody's well and ready to battle. Those of you who are able, make sure to surround the foe." Sailor Savior told her angelic army.

"Nice parlor trick! Now watch as I do nearly the same thing!" S, the first of the duo to recover from the shock of seeing the number of her foes grow, exclaimed.

S's eyes blazed as she conjured a legion of her own that consisted of shadowed female demons wearing skimpy black outfits. Sailor Gallia gaped at the demons as she had never saw the likes of them before. Waving her hand in the air over her head, S sent the demons charging after Sailor Gallia, who just stood there in fright. She was so scared that she couldn't move.

"Gallia, don't just stand there!" Sailor Mars yelled.

Sailor Savior gasped.

"Oh no..." she muttered.

A few angels surrounded Sailor Gallia in response to Sailor Savior's yearn to protect her. The demons clashed with the angels and Sailor Savior felt every blow especially considering that the angels were connected to her very being.

"Alright pal, you made me mad!" Sailor Mars yelled, then aimed her attack at S. "Mars Flame Sniper!"

"Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Sailor Jupiter also aimed her attack at S.

Sailor Venus grinned. "Looks like you two need a make-over anyway! And I'm going to apply the make up!" She powered up her attack and aimed it at M. "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!!"

"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" Sailor Mercury called out just before plucking upon a watery harp, sending her attack at M.

Between the four attacks, Mars and Jupiter's intertwined as well as Venus and Mercury's while speeding straight at the enemies. Some of the shadowed monsters attempted to block the attacks that was meant for S and M, but they were either blocked off by some of Sailor Savior's angels or disintegrated when they came too close to the attacks. The attacks hit S and M at nearly full force and with blinding lights.

When the lights died down, S and M were more worse for wear, battered, bruised and on their knees. The sailor soldiers looked on in surprise as they both weakly got up and attempted to power up. Tuxedo Kamen was the first to recover and threw a barrage of razor sharp stemmed roses at the duo all the while Sailor Savior's angels dealt with the remaining shadowed monsters.

"Soul Revolution Renovation!" Sailor Gallia exclaimed aiming her attack at S and M, which turned into a deadly chain of butterflies.

"Dead Scream." Sailor Pluto said just above a whisper as she aimed it at them both as well.

"Now Sailor Moon!" Sailor Chibimoon shouted.

"Right! Moon Gorgeous Meditation!" Sailor Moon called out her attack.

The second round of attacks combined into an even brighter light and had a more fuller force than the first round. Sailor Savior had to shield her eyes in order to not feel like she'd go blind. Unfortunately the rate of the attacks had a backfire effect and Sailor Savior was pushed back and hit her head against a wall. As she slowly slipped into unconsciousness, her angels disappeared and returned her very being, her soul as per se, back into her body. After the attacks dissipated and the lights died down, the sailor soldiers cheered that they had finally defeated S and M, not noticing that the unconscious Sailor Savior was being taken back into a time portal by Sailor Pluto.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Will she be okay?" Setsuna asked quietly as she glanced at Snowbelle from her position on the side of Gabrielle's bed.

Snowbelle stood in front of a computer keyboard and pecked at the keys with his beak. Unable to verbally speak himself, the computer acted as his voice during this period of time.

"Yes." came a mechanized voice out of the computer speakers. "I do not know what she will remember of this battle when she wakes up. If at all."

"It would be a shame if she didn't at least remember meeting Orianna." Setsuna said with a sigh.

"True, but all I can say for sure is that it's in the Boss's hands as to how things turns out." the computer replied for Snowbelle.

"What about Mephistopheles?" Setsuna wondered.

"Not sure. There are too many possibilities as to what he would or could do in any given situation." came Snowbelle's response.

"A little faith and a lot of hope." Setsuna mused.

"With just a dash of time." came the mechanical voice of the computer, added with a look from Snowbelle that Setsuna couldn't mistake as anything else but wry humor.
