Who: Rarity and Meioh Setsuna (as Sailor Pluto)
What: Pluto rescuing Rarity
Where: Some bridge in some place. Over some river!
Status: Complete!
Rating: PG. Though slight TW for references to suicide.
Rarity sighed and looked at her phone. She doesn’t know honestly what to do. She’s never been very depressed, but she has her over dramatic moments. This one being one of those times. She grabbed her things and went to walking. She found the nearest bridge and kicked a rock over the edge. “Wonder what it would be like...how people would react.” She wouldn’t say that she was suicidal, maybe just curious.
She didn’t feel like her life needed to end, but death’s a curiosity humans obsess over. Sighing she set her things down and stood onto the edge of it. She looked over the edge, thankful for her balance and just stared. She wasn’t really going to jump, she just wanted to know what it felt like to be this close to possibly dying. That is until something startled her and she slipped off. It was will and luck that she caught her bag and it hinged on a bolt. But a bag can only hold up for so long...
Pluto had known better than to leave this alone. How Michiru and Rarity had managed to contact her was still rather beyond her, but... that was a matter for another time. Right now, she had to keep her from doing anything remarkably stupid. Yet again.
In this case, she’d been watching from a nearby rooftop, remarkably well-concealed for someone in a sailor fuku. The moment Rarity slipped, she jumped off the roof, landing damn near perfectly and running. The bag was clearly not the way out here...
“Grab onto this.” She lowered the Time Key down, keeping a firm grip and silently thanking the gods for her tiara’s mysterious qualities. It’d take a miracle for Rarity to recognise her.
“H-huh...” Looked up and stared. Who the hell designed that and what were they on?! She tried to let go to grab it but fear took hold and she jerked back onto the bag strap and shook her head. “I... I can’t.” Looked down at the rushing of the water and scrambled to get up and only made the strap of the bag rip slightly.
“You have to.” There wasn’t any getting around it! Pluto could hardly save her without some input on Rarity’s side... “The bag won’t hold out. This key is your lifeline... I’d advise you take it.”
A pause. “Don’t worry. I won’t drop you.” Senshi strength really came in handy.
“Why do I have to?” Bit her lip and looked as the bag clearly began to rip even further. “I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to die, but I don’t want to be saved.” It was the saving grace of her human survival instincts that as soon as the bag finally bit the dust, she reached out and took hold of the key. Now she just had to get her up without her slipping off.
“Life is worth living. Focus on that.” Taking a firmer grip, Pluto slowly started to pull the key back up. This had actually gone a little easier than she’d expected... “And hold tight. My powers can only do so much.”
“What is life without love?” This woman was obviously insane. It was cold out and she was in that small of a skirt. And the colours, oh god. She blinked and dropped her gaze, what the hell was she doing? She was hanging off a bridge and judging a woman’s fashion sense! She sighed and reached to try and get a better hold and a pack of cigarettes fell from her back pocket and she did the stupidest thing and tried to catch it before it dropped. In doing so she had to grip quickly for the key and yanked it down almost out of her grasp.
Insanity didn’t involve miniskirts. Insanity involved dangling off bridges. Pluto managed to keep her grip on the key, never more thankful for the gloves than now - that would’ve burnt something awful without them. “Don’t you know those are bad for you?”
She sighed and kept working on getting her up. It was easier than trying to convince her of things like that... she’d learnt that quite a while ago.
“I need some way to relieve stress...” She actually managed to lift her to a point where she could climb up and over. Once over, she grabbed her bag and looked at the woman properly. At least the boots were nice. The tiara reminded her of something she would have made as a pony Her hands traced over the rip of the bag. “Thank you... Nice to see someone actually cares. Well... “Yeah that was awkward. She knew Azula cared, knew Haruka and Michiru cared. She also knew the other ‘ponies’ cared. Sighing she turned away and began walking towards her car. “A knight in shining armour.” Half laughed. “I always wanted one of those. But I guess not even I deserve to be a princess.” Shoved her bag under her arm and walked faster.
Pluto shook her head, taking to the rooftops once more. Why did Rarity have to be like this? She knew that their breakup couldn’t have been easy on her, but... she’d honestly done it for her own good. She couldn’t risk the taboos falling onto anyone she loved.
