Sailor Moon Step - the muse has whispered in my ear...

[Bob Schroeck]

We never did get back to each other about this...

And my apologies for forgetting about it entirely.

but that's okay - I wrote the sidestory anyway. Enjoy

And enjoy I did. I'll have to put that up on the staggers page one of these days, when I get my act together and add all the new stuff I have.

As for Minako's personality, I have to admit I like Shadowjack's take on her, and would probably have followed along those lines -- competent, but willing to relax. Helping her learn to relax, well, yeah, that's definitely a Doug thing. And I would think that -- with her still calling him "Mr." -- this is very, very soon after she joins up with the rest of the senshi. (When that is, I'm still not sure -- I have to see if there is a canon date that she returned from England; it'll be shortly after that.)
