Really the only one paying attention was Haruka when Pluto walked in. Ami and Hotaru were too busy with the speech Ami was giving to notice at first. If the others had seen the Pluto that had just walked in the door, they too would have stared. This wasn't the serious Pluto they all knew. First of all, she wasn't wearing a fuku, which considering the second was a good thing. After all very, very few women look good in a fuku when they're slightly over 6 months pregnant.

Pluto timed their reaction and Minako was the last one to notice her. A minute and 30 seconds, not bad, but not great. She was hoping to be noticed a bit faster; perhaps she should have worn a thong? Glancing at her watch again she noticed it was thirty seconds later, a thong although might be taking it just a bit too far, she wanted them to notice her, not faint.

Glancing once again at her watch, noting another 30 seconds had passed. Pluto walked over to her old place and sat down, carefully of course, being a Senshi didn't help negate pregnancy… much. Sighing as she looked around, she wondered how much longer this would last. Shrugging as she reached behind her into her subspace pocket pulling out what looked like an advanced storage container and Celery? Popping open the container, which was filled with peanut butter, Pluto started to satisfy her craving and waited.

About a minute later Hotaru was the first to snap out of her trance. She carefully walked over to Pluto and asked the simplest question she could. "Setsuna-mama? What happened?"

Making a great deal over it, Pluto put her snack food down carefully, and lifted a finger to her lips in a thinking pose. "Well, I got screwed. Found out I missed my period and wound up like this." Having answered the question Pluto went back to her snack as she waited for the second shock to wear off.

Ami asked the second question as it seemed Hotaru was having trouble with the last answer, Hotaru did live with Setsuna and knew her better than the Inner Senshi did, which made this even stranger to her. "Who and when?"

Pluto just turned her head over to look at what might have been the smartest in the group, except for that last question had her wondering. "When?" asked Pluto, glancing down at her belly and back up to Ami, "I think you can guess given the natural progression of pregnancy. As for who, I'm not telling yet. Just don't attack the ship in orbit;" glancing at Haruka, "they are not our enemies. Although that doesn't everyone else coming are friendly."

Standing up Pluto said, "Don't worry if my current-time counter part doesn't return for a while, she/I am safe." Taking another bit from her snack the future-Pluto looked at Usagi, "Things aren't going as I foresaw, but their not that bad. Although, these cravings are certainly annoying." As she finished up the last of the Celery, future-Pluto reached behind her back once again and pulled out a carrot to go with the peanut butter.

Waving the half consumed carrot, she turned around and walked away for a few moment before disappearing in a flash of light. Leaving behind a very confused set of Senshi and a large base on the moon, that scratched his metaphorical head over the strange temporal readings from the Tokyo area.
