"Sorry princess but the detention stands. Everyone will notice if it's suddenly rescinded and everyone is expecting you to be punished." Crowler said sighing and looking at his daughter apologetically as he kissed her head after he had his eye and nose looked at by a giggling Fonda who was biting her tongue to keep from saying several crude jokes.
"I swear if I hear one joke about my sexuality from you I'm going to bury your husband under so much paper work you two won't be having any 'fun times' for months." Crowler growled at Fonda who mimed zipping her lips shut, being serious for once since she knew he could and would do it. He's done it before after all.
She hated it when her play time with her husband was taken from her.
"I know I have to go to the detention daddy. I just wanted to make sure that you were okay." Jaden said in his Lilith voice before he broke character enough to hug his dad. Well not like it was any more damaging to the cover than his dad kissing his head and calling him princess was. Good thing that only Aunt Fonda was here now.
"I'm fine princess. Your dad is made of sterner stuff than most people believe." Crowler said with a small grin and making Fonda snort.
"That's because it's hard to look like you're made of stern stuff when you're usually wearing make up and frills. There's a reason most of the students see you as more of a mascot than a respected teacher even if you do know your stuff." Professor Satyr said entering the room without knocking and with Bastion right behind him.
"Ah but there is the hidden depth of my ruse my old friend. If the students see me more as a mascot then they do not truly listen to most of what I teach. If they are unable to understand it because of their own judgements then they are given a very memorable lesson and must learn the hard way once it is testing time, no ne?" Crowler asked smirking at Satyr who snorted slightly.
"People often forget or just do not realize how much of a nasty little troll you can be when the mood strikes you. Speaking of being a troll…mind telling me why our young Academy Princess is disguised as a male?" Satyr asked raising an eyebrow at Jaden who grinned at him and darted over to hug him.
"I knew I couldn't fool you for long Uncle Satyr! And I'm not surprised Bastion found out either." Jaden said in a definitely female voice as he…she wrapped her arms around Satyr who hugged her back and then ruffled her hair a bit, not that it hurt her hair at all since it was already spikey and looked a lot like a Kuriboh actually.
"I had my suspicions that you were hiding your gender before Family day but it was during Family day when I noticed how similar 'Jaden' looked to 'Lilith' that I began suspecting that you were in fact the same person and Doctor Crowlers daughter. Do you mind if I ask why you were hiding your gender or is it something personal you do not wish to tell me at the present time if ever?" Bastion asked calmly and making Jaden grin at him but then she turned more serious.
"It's not really anything personal per say. In fact it effects pretty much everyone at the school. I have a detention with Harrison however so how about we talk while we walk. That would be more efficient, no ne?" Jaden asked her voice slipping into not just girl form but also the accent that she picked up from her dad.
"Agreed. If you'll pardon us professors." Bastion said nodding respectfully to the professors as he turned and opened the door for Jaden, holding it open politely.
"Thank you! See you later!" Jaden said smiling at Bastion before turning and giving a quick wave to the teachers, unable to call them aunt or uncle or daddy while the door was open in case of any eavesdroppers.
"Crowler where are you going? You still have to explain everything to me." Satyr asked raising an eyebrow at Crowler who immediately stood up to go after his daughter and Bastion with narrowed eyes.
"Fonda can fill you in. I need to keep an eye on that boy." Crowler said with a glare as he moved towards the door, peeking out and seeing his daughter looking serious as she talked with Bastion and was standing close to him so that they wouldn't risk being over heard too much. She was standing far too close to that boy for his comfort.
"…He's going into overprotective daddy mode again isn't he?" Satyr asked Fonda flatly as Crowler tried to leave the room and 'sneak' down the hall after his daughter and Bastion.
"Yes." The response was instantaneous as she looked amused but a bit serious. She didn't really want to leave little Lilith alone with a boy either…but she paid attention to the hovering duel spirits near the disguised girl.
"So can you tell me the gist of it while we keep him from doing something stupid and going overboard?" Satyr asked sighing as they moved to follow and possibly restrain Crowler who was actually following the two teens as they made their way to the tennis court for Jaden's detention. He was literally 'hiding' behind several things like random doors, curtains, and even a very skinny pole holding up a support beam at one point.
"You know the bullying problem against the Slifers and even the Ra's that's been going on with startling increasing regularity recently?" Fonda asked making Satyr nod his head with a frown.
"Of course. Two of my bright students more interested in designing cards or working on the machines are terrified during every duel simply because of how much they are looked down and bullied by the other students." Satyr said making Fonda wince slightly at that. Yeah that was the general feeling of most of the students in the last year or two, especially those in the Slifer dorm.
"Well we came up with a plan to have a Slifer that is able to stand up for themselves and duel against even the best our academy has to offer and make it at least a draw to prove that the rank of the dorm doesn't matter much in terms of skill. Hence why Lilith has joined the academy. Since all females are automatically placed in Obelisk Blue dorm however she decided to go undercover as a male student and purposefully get into, and stay in, Slifer Red to drive the lesson home." Fonda summarized everything for Satyr who hummed. It was a quite clever ruse and deception that would bruise the pride of the snobbier students who let their ranks go to their heads and egos.
"Clever."
