Chapter 2 'Education vs. Denial'

"Good grief", Yuuki Rito sighed, "If I knew she could do something like that, I never would have bothered to try and rescue her in the first place." Rito, a young man who had spent the previous evening helping a runaway alien princess, was still trying to wrap his head around everything that had happened. It was early morning and Rito was headed to school.

"Well, if she'd used that plant seed in our living room it would have made a huge mess, so I guess everything worked out for the best." Lost in thought, Rito never noticed a fellow classmate walking towards him. The very same classmate he had failed to confess his feelings to just yesterday. "Hello, Yuuki." Rito looked up and felt his brain shut down.

"G-Good m-morning.." Thoughts racing, Rito could only stare at the lavender haired girl he had loved since Elementary school. "Why am I freaking out? This is the perfect chance to tell Haruna how I feel!" Rito, inhaling a deep breath and clenching his eyes shut, shouted as fast as he could, "I've really liked you, from the moment we first met! So, please go out with me!"

Half afraid to open his eyes and see Haruna's expression, Rito was stunned when he finally cracked an eye open and saw Momo, the alien Princess he had saved last night, standing between Him and Haruna and blushing with delight. "Oh, of course, Rito! I'm glad we both feel the same way! This is absolutely perfect!" Rito felt his jaw drop in surprise. "Let's get married right away!" With a squeal, Momo threw her arms around Rito's neck and embraced him as he shouted , "W-what are y-you talking about? Get Married?"


Two men in blacks suits and matching sunglasses, Princess Momo's Royal Guardsmen, stood at attention before a Holographic Image of a blond man bedecked in heavy ceremonial armor. The taller of the two men, a dangerous looking man with a scar running down his nose, was speaking with no small amount of embarrassment. "I cannot apologise enough, Commander Zastin, but Princess Momo is a powerful foe when backed into a corner." Commander Zastin replied in a long-suffering tone, "I see. So, once again, I must handle things personally." The guardsmen winced at the unspoken reprimand.

"Very well, I shall go down to Planet Earth. Oh, and get some medical treatment you two, those thorns look painful."


The scene replayed in his head, over and over. Momo's embrace and Haruna's stiff "Congratulations." Over and Over. "It's Not Like That!" Every head in his classroom turned to stare at Rito's sudden outburst. Even the teacher was stunned into silence. Mortified, Rito returned to his seat and hung his head. "Did I make a mistake with the lesson?" Mr. Tanaka asked himself.

When the lecture ended Rito found his gaze pulled back to Haruna. "If I can just talk to her, I can find a way to fix this whole mess." Rito stood, preparing to do just that, when Haruna's neighbor starting talking excitedly about their upcoming PE class. "My rotten luck continues," thought Rito, clenching his teeth and then smiling goofy when he envisioned Haruna changing in the girl's locker room. "Guess I'll just have to wait till lunch."


As she approached Rito's school, Momo's thoughts raced a galaxy a minute. "Daddy's not going to like this. Well, too bad. It's not like I'm the heir and my husband will rule the empire, so Father's just going to have to learn to accept it. Rito's so much more heroic then any of my so-called noble suitors, anyway."


High atop a local skyscraper stood the Mighty Commander Zastin. His cloak flapped in the winds as he surveyed the area. "Earth is an undeveloped Planet just like the reports stated," He mused, "Momo's little game has come to an end. I regret having to use force on a member of the royal family, but this nonsense has gone on long enough. I will not fail my King's expectations!"


Rito reached into his backpack, to fish out his lunch, but found nothing inside. "Odd," he thought to himself, "I know I left the house with it." Mentally retracing his steps Rito groaned in dismay, "Don't tell me it got knocked out of my pack during that little misunderstanding this morning? What to do now.." Rito's thoughts were interrupted when one of his classmates ran up to his desk. "Rito, there's a really pretty girl lookingfor you!" "W-What?" Rito lurched up and ran into the hallway.

Momo was used to public attention so she didn't really pay attention to all the boys staring. The whispered comments flew. "Wow, look at her tail." "What a little cutie!" "Is that her real hair color?" All of her attention was devoted to finding her Rito. Ironically, he found her first.

"Momo! What are you doing here?" Reaching behind her, Momo produced his missing lunch. "Here! I brought your lunch for you!" Rito's classmate wasn't the only one to notice the pretty girl's overly-familiar manner towards Rito, but he was the first to ask "Hey, Rito. Who is she? What's your relationship to her?" Rito's mouth went dry. "My r-relationship with her?" Momo, who seemed to find Rito expression amusing, answered for him, "Husband and Wife."

Rito could practically see jealousy sweep over the crowd of boys now surrounding them. "M-Momo, I think we should be running. Like, right now." Without waiting for a response, he grabbed her hand and fled down the hall. "Rito, why are they so mad?" asked a confused Momo, but Rito put all of his focus on running. As he reached the end of the hallway, he realized that he had trapped them in a dead end. Rito wracked his brain trying to think of some way to escape his coming doom. "Momo, how did you show up in my house?" "I used one of my sister's inventions, a warping device." "Do you have it with you now?" "Yes." "Then warp us to safety, please!"

Momo looked up at him with a mischievous smile, "As you wish."


Haruna was feeling out of sorts. The events of the morning kept replaying in her mind as she changed back into her school uniform. "Rito said that he liked her. Who was she, anyway?"

Rito's ears popped. Looking around him, he saw he was surrounded by gym lockers, but his sense of touch was giving him far more important information. He felt Momo lying atop him without a stitch of clothing on.

As he felt himself blush from head to toe, he asked almost absently, "Why are we naked?" Momo, who sat up but made no move to cover herself, shrugged her shoulders, "Pyron Pyron, Mr. Warp is for emergencies only, because it only warps flesh and itself. So, no clothes."

Rito, who quickly turned away from the sight of Momo's birthday suit, stared in horror as he noticed Haruna, only half dressed, staring back at them. "W-what are y-you..d-doing in the girls l-locker room...w-without any c-clothes on?"

Desperately trying to prevent the situation from spiraling further out of control, Rito walked towards Haruna, attempting to explain. "H-Haruna! It's not what you think!" Haruna, frightened by Rito's sudden approach screamed, "Don't Come Near Me!" and slapped Him with all her strength before fleeing the locker room.
