All seven Rangers and the three Energy Management support staff clinked glasses in a toast in the Energy Management Center command room, celebrating the victory from yesterday.
"That went very well." Tsuyoshi said.
"Well? Please, those scale bags never had a chance." Yoko said, smiling.
Everyone rose a glass to that when Usada came in the room. Yoko could tell it wasn't going to end well.
"Usada, whatever it is…"
"Can it!" Usada said, his ears quivering in anger. "Who did you trick into doing your Math homework?!"
"No one." Yoko said.
"Liar!" Usada said.
"I can verify she did it." Tsuyoshi said. "She asked me to check it over."
"And how much did you correct?" Usada asked pointedly.
"With all due respect, math doesn't seem to be her strong suit, but it wasn't mine either." Tsuyoshi said. "Maybe if you worried more about getting a tutor instead of accusing her, she wouldn't…" A realization came to him. "Half of it was wrong and the other half wasn't done." he whispered.
This was enough to start an argument between Usada and Yoko about Usada having bad timing and Yoko being a slacker, quickly turning physical. It was hilarious. While the others watched the argument like a good comedy show, Tsuyoshi drained his drink and Mai's.
"Upset some high school kid tricked you?" Mai asked, smiling while examining "Yoko's" work. Tsuyoshi just glared and went to grab Sokichi's drink. That was when he noticed his white-suited friend was watching him and barely containing his laughter.
"Sokichi, if I find out you knew Yoko was tricking me, I'm going to use D-Sword Vega and slice your head off."
"What about D-Sword Vega?" Doggie asked, turning towards them.
"Tsuyoshi needs it for a few minutes." Sokichi said, smiling evilly at Tsuyoshi.
Now, Tsuyoshi would never hurt his friend. Sokichi's hat, however, was a different story.
Also, duct tape can contain a Buddy Roid if you so desired. Yoko so desired.
