Big Trouble, Little Brother -- By Ravyn Knyght
Daisy -- Those Fightin' Kino's
Daisy congratulated Ariel on her little victory with a fixed smile on her face. After the Mercury's left, Daisy slumped over. "How emabarassing was that?" she muttered. "Now, now. Once you're training starts I'm sure you be better and faster than Ariel." Foxx assured her. "When I'm finished with you you'll be the strongest of the innner senshi." he stated. "Stronger than the inners? What about the outers?" Daisy asked. "Well they'll be trained to level 10. The highest the inners can go is level 8." Foxx stated which did not go over well with Daisy. The thought of Madelyn being stronger than her was unacceptable. "Well if you'd like I could give you a bit of an edge with some additional weight training." Foxx offered. "Great!" Daisy cheered. "I think you are strong enough as it is young lady." Lita informed her daughter. "Just the routine you've already planned will be suficient." Lita instructed. "Aw mom! You're no fun!" Foxx groaned as he prepared to start the training.
Foxx planned Lita's and Daisy's training to center around their natural fighting ability. "Put 'em up punk!" Foxx tormented as he charged towards Daisy. Being two of the stronger Scouts both Jupiter and Chibi Jupiter had already advanced to 3X within their first hour. "Take it easy will ya!" Chibi Jupiter cried as she tried to block her brothers attacks. Without warning, Sailor Jupiter jumped in and both were now attacking Foxx. To their surprise, Foxx was avoiding their attacks while landing many of his own. By the end of training, the two Scouts of thunder were at 4X. "Wow! You're good!" Daisy said, complementing her brother's skills. "All thanks to you sis!" he said bowing respectfully to her. Lita just shook her head. "Please tell me you are good at something else other than fighting?" Lita sighed as they walked back to their quarters. "Well there is one thing I do quite well actually. A trait all Kino's possess.". Cooking, gardening. Just don't let it be.. Lita thought as Foxx announced his inheritment. "The unstoppable Kino se---mmphnph!" Lita covered her son's mouth to prevent him for finishing his sentence. Although unfinished, Daisy guessed at what other thing Foxx was good at and giggled. "I'll have to keep all this in mind when the time comes." Lita sighed knowing that she'd have a hard enough time with her preteen Daisy.
After dinner, Daisy went to Maggie's so the two could do their homework together. "I hope Gary makes sure they do their homework. The last while, all they've done is talk about boys." Lita mentioned to Ken. "And so it begins." Foxx commented. "We've made ourselves clear to her that she can't date until she's fourteen." Ken reminded his wife. Lita knew that Daisy was prone to disobeying but for the most part she listened to her parents. "And when that time comes...Brace yourselves! Mwahahahahaha!" Foxx teased. As he teased, he stopped paying attention to the dishes he was carrying and...CrAsH! "My dishes!" Lita wailed as she looked at the shattered mess on the floor of the kitchen. "Opps! See this is why I'm not allowed in the kitchen!" Foxx warned his family. "If you're going to remember anything remember that!" He stated remembering upset his mother was when her attempt to teach him how to cook almost burned the palace down.
A few hours later a somewhat angered Daisy returned muttering something under her breath. "In this house young lady, we speak as to be heard." Lita said trying to break her daughter of talking under her breath. "It was Maggie's brother, mom. He just freaked out on us!" Daisy stated. "Why would he do such a thing?" Ken asked. "Beats me. All Maggie and I were doing was playing a board game when he comes flying in, screams at us to knock it off and snatches the dice off of me and throws them out the window." Daisy's recountment of the events struck Ken and Lita as strange. "I think I'll go check on Carson." Foxx said and headed for the door. "Care to fill us in?" his father asked. "I'll tell you what I can when I come back." Foxx promised and left for the Pluto quarters.
Foxx knocked on the door of the Pluto home, Maggie answered the door. "Hey Mag-Pie! Is Carson around?" he asked the young girl. "No. He left a few minutes ago and dad went after him. Is he all right?" she asked. Since meeting him she started to have bad feelings about him and wondered if anything was wrong with him. "That's something you'll haave to talk to your mom and dad about kiddo. Well I'll see you around." Foxx said and left. Foxx knew where Carson had gone but he as all the other non-senshi children were banned from ever going anywhere near the Gates of Time. Carson was the only exception. "Just keep it together." Foxx muttered as he looked down the hallway that lead to the Gates of Time then headed back to his family hoping Carson's trip to the time gates was only temporary.
Upon returning, Lita and Daisy ushered Foxx to the couch between them and demanded he uphold his earlier promise. Ken groaned as he sat down in a chair knowing that both his wife and daughter loved gossiping and getting the inside scoop on a private matter. "So come on! Talk!" Daisy demanded. "Well alright but keep it in the family for the time being. Okay?" Foxx insisted and the two women nodded. "Carson has a big problem. And when I say big I mean real big. When he was born he had the trait of probability predictions. It didn't become a problem until he turned thirteen." he started. "What happened?" Lita asked. "Well for some unforseen reason his ability grew stronger. Stronger than Sestuna and Maggie's combined. He became obsessed with exploring all possibilities of something before he did it. It only took a year for him to burn out as people started using him." Everyone sat in silence listening to Foxx. "When he was fourteen he fell in with the wrong group, started drinking and when everyone tried to help him he disappeared. Despite Maggie searching for him, he was missing for four years. Tracking him was impossible because he used his abused powers to stay ten steps ahead of everyone."
"But he did come back though. I mean he's alright now isn't he?" Ken asked wondering about the young man's condition. Foxx shook his head. "He came back alright and scared the hell out of everyone when he did. Long story short he spent two years in a mental institution trying to get straightened out. It wasn't until a new drug was brought from Elysion did he start to get better." Everyone sat in mild shock staring at Foxx. "You can't be serious!" Lita scoffed. She always thought that if she and the other Scouts had more children, that they would be free of the troubles their present children have. Listening to Foxx's story sent a cold shiver through Lita's heart. "How would a set of dice set him off?" Ken asked. "During the four years he was gone, a guy used him in illegal gambling houses. He used Carson to pick out potential high rollers so the casino wouldn't lose too much money on them. in return the guy kept a supply of drugs going through him." Foxx explained. "What that poor boy went through." Lita remarked. "That explains why he went nuts over the dice thing then." Daisy said thinking about earlier. "He's not out of the woods yet. He had to stop treatment in order to train and be sent back. Everyone had doubts about it, even himself but I said I'd keep an eye on him in case anything happened to him." Foxx said.
After the Colt/Annika blow up over the week-end, Foxx was informed that he would be a stand in trainer for Maggie in case Carson was also unable to train Maggie because Brad was already overloaded. "I'm sure Carson will be fine. Just give him a chance." Foxx insisted, sticking up for his friend. "Let's hope so. I can't have the training rotations messed up anymore then what they are." Brad told him. "Any word on Colt?" Foxx asked but got a stern look from Brad, "Don't even mention his name to me just now. I'll deal with him when he gets back. Just be ready to take over for Carson if need be." Brad said and left. "Colt and Brad don't get along do they?" Lita asked. "No they don't. Funny isn't it? Gloria and Annika are best friends but Brad and Colt are always fighting." Foxx pointed out. "Yeah that is kind of strange. Of all the friendships between the Scouts children the only one that continues is you and Carson and Daisy and Maggie. But I guess that's due to your ages." Lita commented, Foxx smiled as he remembered what Amy once told him in the future. "Is Daisy ready for school yet?" Ken asked coming into the kitchen. "She left a while ago so she could walk with Rini, Shin and Kota." Lita groaned, "Haruka and Michiru better put those boys on a leash.". "The same should be done with Daisy." Foxx said with a laugh. "I feel more sorry for Helios though. Rini better keep her eyes open with those two." Foxx said thinking about what Shin and Kota were like when it comes to cute girls.
A few days later, the Jupiter family was entertained by the Mercury family. "Now there's a familiar scene!" Foxx said laughing hard as Amy dragged both Ariel and Snow through the palace by their ears. "Well look at this." Ken said bringing everyone's attention to the next group coming in. "It looks like he's carrying a child." Lita remarked as Alex carried Hotaru back to their quarters with Madelyn tagging behind them. "How could little Aunt Hotaru have such a big child?" Daisy wondered as she watched them continue down the hallway. "One of life's little mysteries I guess." Ken said, Foxx snickered and Daisy giggled while Lita gave the three of them a stern look. "Come along joke squad! We've got training." Lita reminded them. As they showed up at the training room, Raye and a laughing Annika were coming out. "Somebody had a good day." Lita remarked. "We certainly are!" Raye said smiling at her daughter.
"Oh Foxx, that weight equipment you requested is ready and waiting for you in the training room." Venus informed him. "Great!" Foxx replied. "Weight equipment?" Lita asked with a scowling look. "I thought we agreed that you wouldn't do that." "You agreed. I didn't." Foxx stated. "We won't be using them." Lita told the pair, Foxx saw the fallen look on Daisy's face. "Aw mom c'mon! It's just to give Daisy's attacks a little more pep!" Foxx pleaded as his mother and sister transformed. "Out of the question!" Jupiter stated. "But it'd be soo embarassing for Chibi Jupiter here if she got into a fight with Maddie and Maddie punked her out!". "Absolutely not!" Foxx was now trying his mother's patience. "Nothing to strenuous! I promise!", Lita had enough. "No! This is the end of it!" her tone told Foxx not to go any further. "I tried." Foxx shrugged, sounding defeated. Chibi Jupiter would have to do without the extra training.
Two weeks later....
One evening, when the family were watching television, Lita wondered where Foxx had gone off to. "Did you see where Foxx went?" she asked Ken and he shrugged. She found him in the guest room slouched over a pile of books. "So this is where you got off to. What's this you're working on?" she asked coming over to investigate. She was surprised to find that he was studying. "Criminal law. It was my college major before the fighting stopped everything." he told his mother. "You're in college!?" Lita cried in astoundment. "Graduated. I'm a lawyer." Foxx mentioned as he closed up the book he was studying. Lita couldn't believe that one of her children would have such strong study habits to attempt such a task, considering she had to constantly remind Daisy to do her homework and study for tests. "Well I guess that's enough for one night. You don't mind if I turn in early do you?" he asked, Lita had no objections. "Good night mom." Foxx said as Lita bid him the same and closed the door behind her.
Several hours later, after everyone had retired to their rooms, Foxx had an idea. He silently stepped out into the hallway and tiptoed to his sister's room. What mom doesn't know won't hurt her. Foxx thought as he quietly opened Daisy's bedroom door. "Psst...Psst...Daisy wake up!" Foxx whispered shaking his sleeping sister. "Huh?...Wha?" she sleepily moaned reaching for the lamp switch. "Come on. Let's hit the training room." Foxx said softly tossing some clothes to his sister. He then slipped out as Daisy got dressed. Making sure not to make any noise, the two fled the Jupiter quarters and hurried to the training rooms. "That was fun! Where did you learn to sneak around like that?" Daisy asked. "Who else? You." Foxx said as they continued. "I wanted to get you started with the weighted gravity training." he explained. "But mom said..." Foxx stopped her in mid sentence. "Mom's not here now is she?" Foxx said looking over his shoulder. The thought of sneaking out and doing something she wasn't supposed to excited Daisy as she looked forward to the extra training.
"I still can't believe it!" Lita exclaimed still in awe of the fact that her son was a lawyer. "Believe it and go to sleep." Ken begged. "Sorry but I can't help but get excited over the fact that Foxx is so smart! You'll have to build some bookcases tomorrow." Lita commented. "What!?" Ken said in surprise. "Well if he's going to be a lawyer he'll need plenty of mental stimulation so it wouldn't hurt to have a supply of various educational books around. We're going to have to start learning more ourselves so we'll be able to have intelligent conversations." Lita said. "We've got plenty of time so there's no great hurry. As for books that's what the palace library is for." Ken said trying to get out of the bookshelf assignment. Lita sat up in bed and reached for a housecoat. "Now where are you going?" Ken asked. "I'm just going to look in on him. I bet he's the type that makes excuses to study!" Lita giggled then left for the guest room. A few seconds later Lita came back with an annoyed look on her face. "They're both gone!" she growled. "Who's gone? Where?" Ken said as Lita got quickly dressed. "Foxx and Daisy. I have a feeling I know where they are too!" she grumbled as she left their quarters. "Finally." Ken yawned and went back to sleep.
"Looks like there's a line up." Daisy pointed out as she and Foxx saw Mina and Raye at the training room window. "At this hour it could only be..." Foxx started as he and his sister looked on with Raye and Mina. "I can't believe someone could be so strong." Mina commented as Raye watched in silence. Foxx read the display, Gravity setting 350X, level fifty Galaxia simulation. he stared at Colt in disbelieve. How is he doing this?! Foxx wondered. "Fa---tal Finish!" Colt shouted as a massive beam of energy engulfed and destroyed the Galaxia simulation. So powerful was blast that the spectators felt the vibrations through the room's shielding. "I think that's enough for now." Mina said on the intercom as the simulation shut down. After disengaging the gravity engine Colt came out, not looking at anyone. "Are you alright?" Raye asked concerned Colt might have over did it once again. Colt didn't reply, he just walked down the hallway out of sight. Both Foxx, Daisy and Mina were joined by Lita. The three of them saw the fallen look on Raye's face when Colt ignored her. Mina lead Raye back to her quarters, leaving Lita to deal with her two children. "Okay everybody back to bed. I'll discuss punishments in the morning." Lita commanded walking behind them making sure they didn't sneak off again.
After Lita laid the law down about using the training rooms without Scout supervision, Daisy joined the rest of the children on their way to school. Walking with them was Foxx, Shin and Kota. "Colt's really strong isn't he?" Daisy asked remembering last night. "Yeah but I didn't think he was that strong." Foxx said thinking aobut last night as well. "Well I can't wait until those Nega losers come for me!" Daisy said confidently. "Same here!" Faith said in agreement. "You won't say that when the time comes." Annika said softly. She was already attacked once and wouldn't want to go through it again. But now Gloria was ordered to rest at home for the next few days because of what she went through. Brad was also out of action as he recovered which meant that Foxx had to take charge of the training sessions. Fortunately for him they were almost completed.
"So, Foxx. How's training with your mom and Daisy going?" Kota asked. "We're clipping along pretty good, but of course what else would you expect? The Jupiter Senshi are the best." Foxx boasted, Daisy was inclined to agree. "Well there's one move I think you should instill in her for the good of everyone." Shin mentioned. "What move is that?" Daisy asked. "Watch and learn kid!" Shin said as he stopped walking to demonstrate the technique. Daisy watched as Shin took a fighting stance then stood up straight bringing his two legs tightly together. Daisy was a little confused. "Oh real funny!" Foxx muttered as he was quick to catch on. "Huh?" Daisy said still not understanding. "The move is called 'Keep 'em together forever and a day'." Shin said, Kota laughed. "Knock it off guys." Foxx ordered. "Knock yourself off! We're sick of being trampled by Daisy's tribe!" Shin barked. "Yeah and not to mention being impaled on a regular basis by Chelsea!" Kota added. "Okay that's enough about the future you guys! Geez! Aunt Setsy's gonna have job and a half wiping out everyone's memory if you two don't stop it!" Foxx shouted at the two. The two boys didn't dare mention all the stuff they told Rini. "Okay Dog Pound, let's get to Crystal Tokyo High." Rini commanded "It's not Dog Pound it's Wolf Pack!" Shin reminded her. Whatever!" Rini muttered as she did not look forward to her school day.
After school Foxx had to pretend to be a cousin of Daisy's to get her out of the principal's office. "That boy had it coming!" she declared. "You better hope that's a good defense when we get home, Sis." Foxx commented, "But I'll agree that he had it coming. I think his parents should teaching him not to go around hitting girls.". "Is that so?" a voice from behind said. It was Austin's father who came to school with his wife when they got the call about the fight. "Yeah." Foxx shot back. The man looked ready to take a swipe at Foxx, but Foxx wasn't worried in the least. His wife came over to try to lead her husband away. "Now Harold, they're just children." she commented trying to bring him back to the car. He didn't budge. "This guy just said we're unfit parents!" Harold growled. "I didn't say that I said--" just then the man's fist flew out and Foxx dodged it. Angered even more, the man tried again. This time Foxx grabbed the man's arm and excecuted a restraining hold. "As I was about to say...teach your kid some respect for women or you'll have a real problem in the years to come." Foxx said as the man struggled to free himself. "Let my husband go!" the woman pleaded and Foxx complied. Austin's father was far from giving up the fight just yet as he came at Foxx again. Once more Foxx grabbed the man and restrained him. "My family always said that my sister got all the looks and I got all the mean. Come at me again and you'll find out the hard way!" Foxx growled, then pushed the man hard to the ground.
After that, the man got it through his head and left with his wife and son. Daisy couldn't believe the amount of control Foxx demonstrated when dealing with Austin's father. "If that was me I would have clobbered him senseless!" Daisy said as they continued home. "Believe me I felt like doing it too but that would have only made things worse. Besides, I knew long before that I was stronger than him and that I could've really hurt him if I did hit him.". Long before they got home they were stopped again but this time is was by Aroura. "Well I hope your are all proud of yourselves! Because of you filthy Sailor tramps, my sister is dead. I'll make you all pay for her life with your own!" Aroura screamed as she ordered two large, grotesque youma to attack the pair. "Still in the mood for a fight?" Foxx asked his sister. "When am I not?" Daisy questioned back with a smirk. "Jupiter Power Makeup!" and if a few seconds Chibi Jupiter was ready to fight. "I'm the Scout of Thunder and I'm ready to kick ass on Nega creeps like you!" Chibi Jupiter declared. "Such foul language! Obviously your parents aren't raising you right. My lap dogs will teach you some manners!" Aroura stated as her dog-like youmas charged towards them.
"You take the ugly one Sis, and I'll take the cuddley one!" Foxx said as they split up. "There's a difference? Jupiter Deadly Lightning Bolt!" Chibi Jupiter called as her attack struck the creature head on, knocking it senseless. "My turn!" Foxx said as he flew at his attacker, striking it with several blasts of engery. "Let's finish off these pooches." Chibi Jupiter said then screamed as one of the dogs let loose with a powerful blast of fire from its mouth. She barely ducked the blast but the beast managed to singe her rump. "You'll pay for that you freak!" she threatened, patting her smoldering posterior. She blushed as she covered up the area of her uniform that was incinerated. "Well in the future, you always said you had a hot ass." Foxx commented on his sister's delicate injury. "Now's not the time for jokes, stupid!" Chibi Jupiter screamed as the two dodged a double flame attack from the two dogs. "Jupiter Deadly Lightning Bolt!", "Thunder Bird Blitz!" called the brother sister combo called as their attacks struck the two youma full force, vaporizing them. Aroura left, not wanting to get into a fight just yet. I'll get my chance! she promised herself.
"Well I'm glad to head that somebody knows the meaning of self control." Lita stated after Foxx and Daisy got home and explained the afternoon's events. Lita made a mental note about Daisy's classmate's parents for future encounters. "Well I'm off to the showers." Foxx said only to find the door locked when he got there. Daisy beat him to it. "I'm going to get Amy to take a look at Daisy's burns." Lita said then went off to call Amy for an appointment. After Lita and Daisy were on their way back from Amy's office, they ran into Maggie and Carson. "Can I do my homework at your place?" she asked Daisy. "As long as you don't spend the entire night talking about boys." Lita warned and the two girls nodded in agreement with their fingers crossed behind their backs. Carson just laughed.
Back at the Jupiter quarters, Foxx managed to get the bathroom to himself. As Daisy and Maggie made their way to Daisy's bedroom, Foxx came out of the batheroom wearing only a towel. Maggie's face flushed a little as she stared at Daisy's brother. "Oh my.." she murmured. "Hey Mag-Pie! What's up?" Foxx said as he passed her on his way to the guest room. Wondering where Maggie was, Daisy went back out into the hallway. "What's with you?" she said as Maggie was still looking down the hallway towards the guest room. Foxx came back out, "Forgot my razor." he said holding it up to them. "Studying hard?" he laughed as he went back into the bathroom. Daisy noticed that Maggie was staring at him. "Jupiter to Pluto! Hel-lo!" Daisy said passing a hand across Maggie's face. "Huh? Wha? Oh." Maggie said as she picked up the books she dropped and rushed into Daisy's room. As the girls gossiped and did their homework, Maggie pumped Daisy for some info on her brother. "Why do you want to know if he has a girlfriend?" Daisy questioned. "N-no reason!" Maggie said with a smile, still thinking of what Foxx looked like. Daisy quickly clued in. "Do you have a thing for Foxx?!" she gasped. Maggie blushed a little. "He is handsome." Maggie simply stated, Daisy laughed.
Just then Foxx and Carson knocked on the door. "We're heading into town. Wanna come with us?" Foxx asked. "Okay!" Maggie blurted out, Daisy rolled her eyes then decided to have some fun. "Hey Foxx. Guess what?" Daisy spoke up. "What?" Foxx asked wondering what it was his sister wanted him to guess. "Maggie thinks your hot." she stated. Maggie's face instantly turned beet red. "Daisy.." she whispered. "Oh really?" Carson said crossing his arms and glaring at his friend. "And just what are your intentions with my sister?" he questioned, going along with Daisy's idea. Then Foxx joined in as he scooped up Maggie in his arms. "How about we run off and eloupe?" Foxx teased. "Put me down please." Maggie whined wanting them to stop teasing her. "Alright you two that's enough! Stop embarrassing the poor girl!" Lita said putting an end to their fun. Foxx did so and left with Carson, letting the girls get back to their homework.

After the Colt/Annika blow up over the week-end, Foxx was informed that he would be a stand in trainer for Maggie in case Carson was also unable to train Maggie because Brad was already overloaded. "I'm sure Carson will be fine. Just give him a chance." Foxx insisted, sticking up for his friend. "Let's hope so. I can't have the training rotations messed up anymore then what they are." Brad told him. "Any word on Colt?" Foxx asked but got a stern look from Brad, "Don't even mention his name to me just now. I'll deal with him when he gets back. Just be ready to take over for Carson if need be." Brad said and left. "Colt and Brad don't get along do they?" Lita asked. "No they don't. Funny isn't it? Gloria and Annika are best friends but Brad and Colt are always fighting." Foxx pointed out. "Yeah that is kind of strange. Of all the friendships between the Scouts children the only one that continues is you and Carson and Daisy and Maggie. But I guess that's due to your ages." Lita commented, Foxx smiled as he remembered what Amy once told him in the future. "Is Daisy ready for school yet?" Ken asked coming into the kitchen. "She left a while ago so she could walk with Rini, Shin and Kota." Lita groaned, "Haruka and Michiru better put those boys on a leash.". "The same should be done with Daisy." Foxx said with a laugh. "I feel more sorry for Helios though. Rini better keep her eyes open with those two." Foxx said thinking about what Shin and Kota were like when it comes to cute girls.
A few days later, the Jupiter family was entertained by the Mercury family. "Now there's a familiar scene!" Foxx said laughing hard as Amy dragged both Ariel and Snow through the palace by their ears. "Well look at this." Ken said bringing everyone's attention to the next group coming in. "It looks like he's carrying a child." Lita remarked as Alex carried Hotaru back to their quarters with Madelyn tagging behind them. "How could little Aunt Hotaru have such a big child?" Daisy wondered as she watched them continue down the hallway. "One of life's little mysteries I guess." Ken said, Foxx snickered and Daisy giggled while Lita gave the three of them a stern look. "Come along joke squad! We've got training." Lita reminded them. As they showed up at the training room, Raye and a laughing Annika were coming out. "Somebody had a good day." Lita remarked. "We certainly are!" Raye said smiling at her daughter.
"Oh Foxx, that weight equipment you requested is ready and waiting for you in the training room." Venus informed him. "Great!" Foxx replied. "Weight equipment?" Lita asked with a scowling look. "I thought we agreed that you wouldn't do that." "You agreed. I didn't." Foxx stated. "We won't be using them." Lita told the pair, Foxx saw the fallen look on Daisy's face. "Aw mom c'mon! It's just to give Daisy's attacks a little more pep!" Foxx pleaded as his mother and sister transformed. "Out of the question!" Jupiter stated. "But it'd be soo embarassing for Chibi Jupiter here if she got into a fight with Maddie and Maddie punked her out!". "Absolutely not!" Foxx was now trying his mother's patience. "Nothing to strenuous! I promise!", Lita had enough. "No! This is the end of it!" her tone told Foxx not to go any further. "I tried." Foxx shrugged, sounding defeated. Chibi Jupiter would have to do without the extra training.
Two weeks later....
One evening, when the family were watching television, Lita wondered where Foxx had gone off to. "Did you see where Foxx went?" she asked Ken and he shrugged. She found him in the guest room slouched over a pile of books. "So this is where you got off to. What's this you're working on?" she asked coming over to investigate. She was surprised to find that he was studying. "Criminal law. It was my college major before the fighting stopped everything." he told his mother. "You're in college!?" Lita cried in astoundment. "Graduated. I'm a lawyer." Foxx mentioned as he closed up the book he was studying. Lita couldn't believe that one of her children would have such strong study habits to attempt such a task, considering she had to constantly remind Daisy to do her homework and study for tests. "Well I guess that's enough for one night. You don't mind if I turn in early do you?" he asked, Lita had no objections. "Good night mom." Foxx said as Lita bid him the same and closed the door behind her.
Several hours later, after everyone had retired to their rooms, Foxx had an idea. He silently stepped out into the hallway and tiptoed to his sister's room. What mom doesn't know won't hurt her. Foxx thought as he quietly opened Daisy's bedroom door. "Psst...Psst...Daisy wake up!" Foxx whispered shaking his sleeping sister. "Huh?...Wha?" she sleepily moaned reaching for the lamp switch. "Come on. Let's hit the training room." Foxx said softly tossing some clothes to his sister. He then slipped out as Daisy got dressed. Making sure not to make any noise, the two fled the Jupiter quarters and hurried to the training rooms. "That was fun! Where did you learn to sneak around like that?" Daisy asked. "Who else? You." Foxx said as they continued. "I wanted to get you started with the weighted gravity training." he explained. "But mom said..." Foxx stopped her in mid sentence. "Mom's not here now is she?" Foxx said looking over his shoulder. The thought of sneaking out and doing something she wasn't supposed to excited Daisy as she looked forward to the extra training.
"I still can't believe it!" Lita exclaimed still in awe of the fact that her son was a lawyer. "Believe it and go to sleep." Ken begged. "Sorry but I can't help but get excited over the fact that Foxx is so smart! You'll have to build some bookcases tomorrow." Lita commented. "What!?" Ken said in surprise. "Well if he's going to be a lawyer he'll need plenty of mental stimulation so it wouldn't hurt to have a supply of various educational books around. We're going to have to start learning more ourselves so we'll be able to have intelligent conversations." Lita said. "We've got plenty of time so there's no great hurry. As for books that's what the palace library is for." Ken said trying to get out of the bookshelf assignment. Lita sat up in bed and reached for a housecoat. "Now where are you going?" Ken asked. "I'm just going to look in on him. I bet he's the type that makes excuses to study!" Lita giggled then left for the guest room. A few seconds later Lita came back with an annoyed look on her face. "They're both gone!" she growled. "Who's gone? Where?" Ken said as Lita got quickly dressed. "Foxx and Daisy. I have a feeling I know where they are too!" she grumbled as she left their quarters. "Finally." Ken yawned and went back to sleep.
"Looks like there's a line up." Daisy pointed out as she and Foxx saw Mina and Raye at the training room window. "At this hour it could only be..." Foxx started as he and his sister looked on with Raye and Mina. "I can't believe someone could be so strong." Mina commented as Raye watched in silence. Foxx read the display, Gravity setting 350X, level fifty Galaxia simulation. he stared at Colt in disbelieve. How is he doing this?! Foxx wondered. "Fa---tal Finish!" Colt shouted as a massive beam of energy engulfed and destroyed the Galaxia simulation. So powerful was blast that the spectators felt the vibrations through the room's shielding. "I think that's enough for now." Mina said on the intercom as the simulation shut down. After disengaging the gravity engine Colt came out, not looking at anyone. "Are you alright?" Raye asked concerned Colt might have over did it once again. Colt didn't reply, he just walked down the hallway out of sight. Both Foxx, Daisy and Mina were joined by Lita. The three of them saw the fallen look on Raye's face when Colt ignored her. Mina lead Raye back to her quarters, leaving Lita to deal with her two children. "Okay everybody back to bed. I'll discuss punishments in the morning." Lita commanded walking behind them making sure they didn't sneak off again.
After Lita laid the law down about using the training rooms without Scout supervision, Daisy joined the rest of the children on their way to school. Walking with them was Foxx, Shin and Kota. "Colt's really strong isn't he?" Daisy asked remembering last night. "Yeah but I didn't think he was that strong." Foxx said thinking aobut last night as well. "Well I can't wait until those Nega losers come for me!" Daisy said confidently. "Same here!" Faith said in agreement. "You won't say that when the time comes." Annika said softly. She was already attacked once and wouldn't want to go through it again. But now Gloria was ordered to rest at home for the next few days because of what she went through. Brad was also out of action as he recovered which meant that Foxx had to take charge of the training sessions. Fortunately for him they were almost completed.
"So, Foxx. How's training with your mom and Daisy going?" Kota asked. "We're clipping along pretty good, but of course what else would you expect? The Jupiter Senshi are the best." Foxx boasted, Daisy was inclined to agree. "Well there's one move I think you should instill in her for the good of everyone." Shin mentioned. "What move is that?" Daisy asked. "Watch and learn kid!" Shin said as he stopped walking to demonstrate the technique. Daisy watched as Shin took a fighting stance then stood up straight bringing his two legs tightly together. Daisy was a little confused. "Oh real funny!" Foxx muttered as he was quick to catch on. "Huh?" Daisy said still not understanding. "The move is called 'Keep 'em together forever and a day'." Shin said, Kota laughed. "Knock it off guys." Foxx ordered. "Knock yourself off! We're sick of being trampled by Daisy's tribe!" Shin barked. "Yeah and not to mention being impaled on a regular basis by Chelsea!" Kota added. "Okay that's enough about the future you guys! Geez! Aunt Setsy's gonna have job and a half wiping out everyone's memory if you two don't stop it!" Foxx shouted at the two. The two boys didn't dare mention all the stuff they told Rini. "Okay Dog Pound, let's get to Crystal Tokyo High." Rini commanded "It's not Dog Pound it's Wolf Pack!" Shin reminded her. Whatever!" Rini muttered as she did not look forward to her school day.
After school Foxx had to pretend to be a cousin of Daisy's to get her out of the principal's office. "That boy had it coming!" she declared. "You better hope that's a good defense when we get home, Sis." Foxx commented, "But I'll agree that he had it coming. I think his parents should teaching him not to go around hitting girls.". "Is that so?" a voice from behind said. It was Austin's father who came to school with his wife when they got the call about the fight. "Yeah." Foxx shot back. The man looked ready to take a swipe at Foxx, but Foxx wasn't worried in the least. His wife came over to try to lead her husband away. "Now Harold, they're just children." she commented trying to bring him back to the car. He didn't budge. "This guy just said we're unfit parents!" Harold growled. "I didn't say that I said--" just then the man's fist flew out and Foxx dodged it. Angered even more, the man tried again. This time Foxx grabbed the man's arm and excecuted a restraining hold. "As I was about to say...teach your kid some respect for women or you'll have a real problem in the years to come." Foxx said as the man struggled to free himself. "Let my husband go!" the woman pleaded and Foxx complied. Austin's father was far from giving up the fight just yet as he came at Foxx again. Once more Foxx grabbed the man and restrained him. "My family always said that my sister got all the looks and I got all the mean. Come at me again and you'll find out the hard way!" Foxx growled, then pushed the man hard to the ground.
After that, the man got it through his head and left with his wife and son. Daisy couldn't believe the amount of control Foxx demonstrated when dealing with Austin's father. "If that was me I would have clobbered him senseless!" Daisy said as they continued home. "Believe me I felt like doing it too but that would have only made things worse. Besides, I knew long before that I was stronger than him and that I could've really hurt him if I did hit him.". Long before they got home they were stopped again but this time is was by Aroura. "Well I hope your are all proud of yourselves! Because of you filthy Sailor tramps, my sister is dead. I'll make you all pay for her life with your own!" Aroura screamed as she ordered two large, grotesque youma to attack the pair. "Still in the mood for a fight?" Foxx asked his sister. "When am I not?" Daisy questioned back with a smirk. "Jupiter Power Makeup!" and if a few seconds Chibi Jupiter was ready to fight. "I'm the Scout of Thunder and I'm ready to kick ass on Nega creeps like you!" Chibi Jupiter declared. "Such foul language! Obviously your parents aren't raising you right. My lap dogs will teach you some manners!" Aroura stated as her dog-like youmas charged towards them.
"You take the ugly one Sis, and I'll take the cuddley one!" Foxx said as they split up. "There's a difference? Jupiter Deadly Lightning Bolt!" Chibi Jupiter called as her attack struck the creature head on, knocking it senseless. "My turn!" Foxx said as he flew at his attacker, striking it with several blasts of engery. "Let's finish off these pooches." Chibi Jupiter said then screamed as one of the dogs let loose with a powerful blast of fire from its mouth. She barely ducked the blast but the beast managed to singe her rump. "You'll pay for that you freak!" she threatened, patting her smoldering posterior. She blushed as she covered up the area of her uniform that was incinerated. "Well in the future, you always said you had a hot ass." Foxx commented on his sister's delicate injury. "Now's not the time for jokes, stupid!" Chibi Jupiter screamed as the two dodged a double flame attack from the two dogs. "Jupiter Deadly Lightning Bolt!", "Thunder Bird Blitz!" called the brother sister combo called as their attacks struck the two youma full force, vaporizing them. Aroura left, not wanting to get into a fight just yet. I'll get my chance! she promised herself.
"Well I'm glad to head that somebody knows the meaning of self control." Lita stated after Foxx and Daisy got home and explained the afternoon's events. Lita made a mental note about Daisy's classmate's parents for future encounters. "Well I'm off to the showers." Foxx said only to find the door locked when he got there. Daisy beat him to it. "I'm going to get Amy to take a look at Daisy's burns." Lita said then went off to call Amy for an appointment. After Lita and Daisy were on their way back from Amy's office, they ran into Maggie and Carson. "Can I do my homework at your place?" she asked Daisy. "As long as you don't spend the entire night talking about boys." Lita warned and the two girls nodded in agreement with their fingers crossed behind their backs. Carson just laughed.
Back at the Jupiter quarters, Foxx managed to get the bathroom to himself. As Daisy and Maggie made their way to Daisy's bedroom, Foxx came out of the batheroom wearing only a towel. Maggie's face flushed a little as she stared at Daisy's brother. "Oh my.." she murmured. "Hey Mag-Pie! What's up?" Foxx said as he passed her on his way to the guest room. Wondering where Maggie was, Daisy went back out into the hallway. "What's with you?" she said as Maggie was still looking down the hallway towards the guest room. Foxx came back out, "Forgot my razor." he said holding it up to them. "Studying hard?" he laughed as he went back into the bathroom. Daisy noticed that Maggie was staring at him. "Jupiter to Pluto! Hel-lo!" Daisy said passing a hand across Maggie's face. "Huh? Wha? Oh." Maggie said as she picked up the books she dropped and rushed into Daisy's room. As the girls gossiped and did their homework, Maggie pumped Daisy for some info on her brother. "Why do you want to know if he has a girlfriend?" Daisy questioned. "N-no reason!" Maggie said with a smile, still thinking of what Foxx looked like. Daisy quickly clued in. "Do you have a thing for Foxx?!" she gasped. Maggie blushed a little. "He is handsome." Maggie simply stated, Daisy laughed.
Just then Foxx and Carson knocked on the door. "We're heading into town. Wanna come with us?" Foxx asked. "Okay!" Maggie blurted out, Daisy rolled her eyes then decided to have some fun. "Hey Foxx. Guess what?" Daisy spoke up. "What?" Foxx asked wondering what it was his sister wanted him to guess. "Maggie thinks your hot." she stated. Maggie's face instantly turned beet red. "Daisy.." she whispered. "Oh really?" Carson said crossing his arms and glaring at his friend. "And just what are your intentions with my sister?" he questioned, going along with Daisy's idea. Then Foxx joined in as he scooped up Maggie in his arms. "How about we run off and eloupe?" Foxx teased. "Put me down please." Maggie whined wanting them to stop teasing her. "Alright you two that's enough! Stop embarrassing the poor girl!" Lita said putting an end to their fun. Foxx did so and left with Carson, letting the girls get back to their homework.
