Summary: Pluto goes to get stuff for when it gets warm, and she ends up talking with Relena.

Pluto had a small basket in her hand as she walked through the health and beauty store on her day off from work. She had to get some more shampoo and conditioner, and not simply because of Samus' warning that Neil's was going to have dye added to it. She also picked up some face wash and a few other essential items, thinking for a moment there in the store as she tried to remember if there was anything else she needed to get.

Relena had been working in the back room before she heard someone come into the main room. She came out and smiled, seeing the taller woman. "Good afternoon, Miss Pluto. Is there anything I might help you find?"

Pluto smiled warmly at the young woman who came out of the back, shaking her head slightly. "I do not think so, Miss Relena. I am only trying to remember if there is anything else that I should get while I am here."

Relena nodded. "Perhaps something that will be useful later, but not now?"

"Perhaps..." Pluto continued thinking for a few moments, then the proverbial light bulb went on. "I can think of something that may be useful to someone else when the weather becomes more tropical."

Relena smiled. "Sunscreen would be helpful, or were you thinking of something used after being burned?"

"I think with him, it may be best to have both on hand." Pluto smiled, thinking immediately of Neil. She had a feeling that the Irishman would not have even thought of maybe needing sunscreen and sunburn products until he got his first sunburn on the island. "Neil is rather fair-skinned."

Relena chuckled, nodding. "I agree, he is quite pale."

"I really don't want to have to discover the hard way that he whines when he gets a sunburn." Pluto chuckled, having that mental image in her head now. "For his own sake as well as mine."

Relena laughed lightly, also having an idea even though she'd not spoken with that particular pilot yet. "While it might be amusing in hindsight, though I doubt it would be much fun at the time." She walked down the aisle with the desired items, "they should be here."

"Thank you." Pluto smiled, looking through the assortment of sun protection products. She decided to go with sunburn products first, knowing exactly what she wanted in those, and easily found some aloe vera gel that would work for it. "Do you know much about sunscreen? All I know is that aloe vera is good for sunburns, but I don't exactly have a need for sunscreen."

Relena smiled and picked out a few types of sunscreen. Holding up each bottle she explained the differences, thanking the reading she'd done when she'd learned where she was assigned to work.

Pluto nodded as she listened to Relena, storing the information away in her memory for when she was going to need it again. She didn't know if she was going to have to explain it to Neil if he ran out of sunscreen, but it was better to be safe than sorry. "Thank you very much for this. I think I'll take this one, since it seems to be in the middle as far as sun protection goes. I really don't know how quickly his skin will burn."

Relena smiled warmly and put the rest back. "You are very welcome. And you can always come back if he needs one stronger."

"That I can do." Pluto smiled her thanks, then looked at her basket. "I think I should have everything now. Thankfully, there is no chance that anyone could put dye in my shampoo by mistake if they try to dye his hair."

Relena nodded, smiling in amusement. "It is that time of year, I believe. I have a feeling Duo will try something similar." She led the way to the counter so she could ring the guardian's purchases up.

Pluto chuckled softly, having a feeling that Duo would indeed try something with hair dye. "Samus has already warned me that she was going to dye Neil's hair green for St. Patrick's Day. I have the feeling that he is going to want to take over my kitchen on that day as well."

Relena chuckled quietly. "I would not be surprised if he did. I hope that ends well."

"I hope so too." Pluto sighed, able to be honest about that. She knew Neil could manage his way around a kitchen without destroying anything, but she wasn't sure exactly what he was going to make, or if it would even taste good.

Relena smiled encouragingly at the Guardian. "I'd be happy to help if you want."

"I think I should really handle things on my own, but thank you for the offer." Pluto managed a slight smile back in return to the young woman's. "After all, I chose to offer my room as a place he could stay instead of in his hut with three teenage girls."

Relena nodded. "No problem." She chuckled, "I am sure he appreciates it."

"And if he does not, I will make certain that he does." Pluto chuckled, "Thank you again for your help."

Relena laughed as she handed Pluto her purchases. "I believe it. You are very welcome."

Pluto took the bag with her purchases in it, beaming with pride at knowing that Relena knew what she might be capable of. "I will see you another time, then, Miss Relena."

Relena smiled, knowing what any normal woman could do to get a man to do what they wanted. And she knew that Pluto was no ordinary woman. "As I will see you some other time, Miss Pluto. I hope your day is pleasant."
