A/N: Hello World! Miss me?! Here's the next chapter in Jeff's adventures. I've kept my streak of 1 review a chapter so far, and keeping it would be wonderful, although breaking the record, and giving me two or three, would literally make my day. Now I've gotten one Oc from a dude named Mzr90, but I could probably fit one or two more in if any of you have any ideas. Now lets let the chapter be read, and let the good times roll!

I had finished grading all the assignments that had been given out by Negi, and was now just messing around with my cards (translator off) as I saw all of the girls in the class struggle to speak some basic English. It may be a little mean to think so, but it was pretty funny to watch. I saw that Negi was beginning to lose interest from the class, and that they were starting to just screw around. Well I can't let that happen can I? Donning my translator, I strode up to the front of the class and yelled, "OI, THE LOT OF YOU NEED TO QUIET DOWN NOW!"

They quickly clammed up, but I knew that unless I did something to get there interest then they would just go back to being loud again. I then said in a happier calm voice, "Negi and I will split the class into two halves. One side will be Negi's team, and the other will be the better team- I mean my team," this drew some giggles from the class, "One person from each team will come up, and either Negi or I will ask them a question in English, and you must respond in English, whoever answers the question best will win 1 point for there team, whichever team has the most points at the end, will win there entire team a fabulous prize! To decide the teams you will all come up here and take a card from this deck," I held a smaller than normal deck in my hand, "There are thirty cards in this deck, 15 red cards, and 15 black cards. You will all come up and draw one. If you draw a red card then you're on Negi's team, if you draw a black card, then you're on the winning, I mean my team, any questions?"

The Kazumi girl raised her hand and asked, "But there are 31 people in this class, won't there be one person left over?"

I smiled at her calmly and said, "Yes, but I'm pretty sure that Evangeline-San doesn't have any real desire to be doing this activity, so I'm going to let her sit this one out, is that ok by you, Ms. McDowell?" I turned my head towards Evangeline and smiled.

She looked a little surprised by my offer, but was quick to hide it underneath a mask of boredom as she said, "Sure, whatever."

Everybody else came up and picked a card and the teams ended up like this.

Me: Negi:

1. Yue 1. Yunna

2. Akira 2. Ako

3. Misora 3. Akira

4. Ku 4. Misa

5. Konoka 5. Chachamaru

6. Asuna 6. Madoka

7. Makie 7. Haruna

8. Kaede 8. Setsuna

9. Zazie 9. Sakurako

10. Satsuki 10. Chao

11. Mana 11. Chizuru

12. Satomi 12. Chisame

Fuka 13. Fumika

Kazumi 14. Nodoka

Natsumi 15. Ayaka

I looked over at my team and all of the assembled baka rangers, it was no coincidence that they ended up on my team. I want to see if any of them actually payed attention in my class.

Looking over the rest of the class I said, "Ok, you have to decide amongst yourselves who goes up, however once a person goes up, they cannot go up again until every other person on the team has gone. When you come, the first one to answer whatever quetion, Negi or I ask, in english, will win the point. Any questions?" I saw grim determination from Negi's side, and an air of defeat on my side, "Then lets start!"

Negi and I sat on a pair of chairs at the head of the class while our respective teams decided who would go up.

It was eventually decided that Akira would come for my team, and that Ayaka would go up for Negi.

I looked over at Negi to see if he wanted to start it off, but he just smiled and gave me a nod of permission to go first.

Clearing my throat, I asked, "Hello girls, how are you doing today?"

Ayaka didn't even hesitate in yelling out, "I am doing happy!"

I looked at her oddly, and said, "Well I'm glad that you're happy, but that's not quite the right context," turning to Akira I said, "If you can get it right, then the point is yours."

Akira thought hard about it before saying, "I am doing good Sensei, and you?"

I smiled and said, "I am doing just fine Akira-san, oh, and by the way, the point is yours."

I don't think she understood me, but the point was made clear when I put a tally on the blackboard to indicate my team had one point.

Next up was Nodoka for Negi's team, and Kazumi for my team.

I let Negi have this as he said, "Hello, how is the weather today?"

Kazumi started to think about it, but I Nodoka squeaked something inaudible out immediately. Looking over at Nodoka I asked, "Nodoka-san, did you say something?"

She took a deep breath before saying (in a voice I could barely hear), "I said the weather is looking good today . . ."

I think I might have missed something at the end of the sentence, but it was enough for me as I drew a point on Negi's side.

Next up Asuna came up for my side, and Chao went up for Negi.

I don't think I should even have to ask a question here.

A minute later Asuna went over to my side of the class looking pissed off, as Chao happily walked over to Negi's team.

The game continued on for the rest of class, and in the, my team lost. However, it wasn't a total loss! Negi's team only won by 4 points! And the baka rangers (even Asuna) did pretty good.

After I gave my team some condolences, I walked over to Negi's side and gave them all a congratulations, "Good job all of you, you performed wonderfully, and have completely earned the prize!"

One of the twin girls (I can't tell them apart for the life of me) almost jumped me as she said, "What is it, what is it?!"

Smiling I said, "You are all formally invited to the winner-of-the-game party next Friday," they all cheered at the thought of a party, but I wasn't finished, "Wait, Wait!" they quieted down again, "For the whole day, that means during school hours."

Negi looked at me shocked as the girls started cheering louder, and it was obvious he didn't think that I would actually b aloud to do this, but I whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I can make it work, plus I'm not done yet."

I looked at the cheering team of winners sternly and said, "I'm still not done!" they quieted down once more, "BUT! If any of you, miss even one, assignment, then you are uninvited!"

They all gasped in terror.

"Oh, and just so you know," I grinned at them evilly, "Negi and I have decided that today is double homework week."

They all stared at me in terror, and Negi whispered to me, "Jeff-san you're evil."

{[*]}

The rest of the week went by without incident, although I think I gained a new level of respect from some of the students in Negi's class. Unfortunately, both Yunna, and the Narutaki twin, forgot a homework assignment, and as I said, I had to un-invite them from the party. I did warn them. However, I've been preparing the party for fifteen people, and to have two people short, wouldn't do.

About, half of the team that I had, during the game crowded around me, as I jumbled, some strips of paper, with there names on them, in a hat. I had found the students from my team that had turned in all of there assignments, and put there names in the hat I was holding. I would pull out two names, and then they would get to go to the party.

The first person to be pulled out was, Satsuki Yotsuba!

She smiled happily and said in that quiet (but powerful) voice of hers, "I'll bring some pork buns to it."

Oh, god yes! Satsuki had given me one of those things once, and it was delicious!

Putting my attention back to where I was, I pulled out the second name to see, Zazie Rainyday!

All eyes turned to Zazie, who gave us all a questioning look as she juggled some items she had found lying around.

". . ."

I laughed and said, "Zazie, I swear you could be a comedian if you wanted to. Everyone's looking at you because your name just got drawn to come to the party tomorrow."

All eyes were now on me.

Zazie's gaze turned to her normal blank expression as she said, ". . ."

"Yes, you have to. Besides, I've never really spoken to you before, so I'm hoping I can get to know you a bit better at the party.

". . ."

"Oh, yeah that's a great idea! We could do it at the same time, and tie them together."

". . ."

"You too? Oh this'll be wonderful then! Alright, could you come by later today, so that we can set it all up?"

". . ."

"Right after I teach my class would be best."

". . ."

"Oh, yeah I guess huh? Ok, could you stay for my class, and then I could take you myself?"

". . ."

"Alrighty then!"

The entire class, had started watching the conversation between me and Zazie at this point, and they were all staring at me like I was from mars or something.

I looked at them confused, "What?"

Bells girl (I'm not good with names, OK! I usually have a list or something! It's the red-head with the bells in her hair, OK!) said, "You actually understood Zazie?"

Now it was my turn to look at her oddly, "Yeah, it sounded like she was speaking normal English to me, but so do you thanks to the translator Chao-san gave me."

Chao herself decided it was a good idea to pipe up and say, "It's a universal translator-ne."

I looked at Chao and said, "Seriously?"

She nodded with a pleased smile adorning her features.

"Ok, that is wicked cool."

She just nodded again, but the emotion was evident in her features, that she was pleased I liked her gadget.

The class bell rang, and everybody filed out. I started to go through the progress notes of the people in my class, to see who needed help with what when I was interrupted by a friendly voice saying, "Jeff?"

I normally would've been surprised, but I just couldn't muster up the energy to be surprised this time as I looked up to see Chachamaru, "Oh, Chachamaru, what's up?"

She gave me an odd look and said, "The direction opposite of down; are these random word tests still necessary Jeff?"

I sighed and muttered, " 's a figure of speach," but the I looked abck up to her and said, "Well, no, but it's always good to check sometimes. What do you need Chachamaru?"

She paused before saying, "Do you remember the promise you made to those girls that you would sing, a while ago?"

Oh, dear, God, I do not like where this going, "Yeesss."

In her normal emotionless voice she said, "I believe that it would be best to fulfill that promise at the party you are hosting.

Oh, well that actually works pretty well for me, "Actually Chachamaru, I've been planning on getting that out of the way, during the party anyway, as much as I don't want to."

Chachamaru, actually managed to look surprised as she said, "Really?"

I nodded and said, "Oh, aye, I've had Chao help me put the whole thing to together."

Still maintaining a look of surprise on her face Chachamaru asked, "What are you going to be singing then?"

I smiled at her with a devilishly and said, "You'll find out tomorrow along with everyone else."

I think I actually managed to annoy Chachy. Now I know this doesn't sound like a good thing, but she's usually so emotionless (gynoid or not) that I think of it as an accomplishment whenever I can make her show emotion at all. The fact that it's been happening more often lately as of late makes me believe that she's starting to open up to me.

Oh sh*t, I still have a class to teach, I stood up and opened my mouth so i could begin the class.
