Parents Night
"Parents night?" Ranma stuttered. He could just see a huge panda ambling to all of his classes, growling and grumbling in his Panda language and holding up a sign, "Ranma's Father" and chewing on a piece of bamboo. This was going to be bad.
Trunks also groaned. Vegeta coming to his school? He'd blow up the place! Or worse!
Shampoo's head hit the table. Cologne? Here? With Ranma in the same building? This wasn't going to be pretty.
Usagi moaned and slapped her forehead. 'Just wait till he sees my seventh period class…' she thought to herself imagining what her dad would do to all those guys.
"I know some of you do not have parents, or guardians, so you only have to be here. This is mandatory if you want to pass school with good grades. If your parents do not show up then that automatically drops your grade one letter. In homeroom there will be a discussion on drugs and sex." Setsuna informed the class. A smack could be heard as Usagi's head hit the table. Her father at a sex talk concerning his little girl? He'll send her to a nunnery! "But now it's time to assign lockers." Setsuna announced. "You may pick you locker, but it must be through the numbers 1040 and 1070 on the first floor." Setsuna told them as she ushered the students out of the classroom. "Make sure that I sign you up on the right one! When you are done, you may prepare for your first period class."
The homeroom class walked down the ten flights of stairs to the first floor. The first floor contained the cafeteria, the main office, the gyms, the lockers and a few classrooms.
"The only good thing about ten flights of stairs is that it keeps me in shape for track." Usagi muttered beside Hitomi. Hitomi giggled at her friend.
Gohan smiled evilly at Trunks. "So… Trunks, you gonna get your locker next to Usagi?" Gohan winked at Trunks. Trunks turned various shades of red to keep himself from punching Gohan into the next dimension.
"Hey guys!" Ranma came up to Trunks and Gohan, oblivious to the fact Trunks was about to hurt Gohan. "I have the football tryouts list!" He exclaimed waving a piece of paper around. "I'm a wide receiver, Gohan is a line backer and you, Trunks, are the new starting quarter back for the Varsity team." Ranma told them. "Trowa and Wufei are on it too!"
"All right!" Gohan exclaimed tackling Ranma. Ranma winced in pain as he hit the floor.
After Ranma pulled himself off the floor he turned to the very tired Duo. "Hey man, why didn't you try out for football? You are the only American here and football is an American sport." Ranma asked.
Duo laughed. "Dude, not every American plays football, basketball is my main sport." He told him. "But every American is require to at least like one team."
The group then reached the area of lockers that their room was assigned to. They were floor to ceiling lockers, no crummy half lockers, but only six inches wide. They were also a dark red color. Their lockers took up one whole locker bay.
"Hey Jim, be careful of the seniors, I don't know how we'd pull you outta there." Gene advised his small freshman friend.
Jim rolled his eyes. "All right Gene."
Usagi scanned the lockers choosing the very middle locker. The Senshi got the ones surrounding her. Hitomi, Shampoo and Akane got lockers across from Usagi. Hitomi was in the middle of Shampoo and Akane to keep their bickering to a minimum. Gene, Trunks, Gohan, Van, and Ranma got lockers on the other side of Akane, Ranma had the furthest one from her. He didn't want to get bashed all the time. The Gundam boys and Ryoga took the lockers on the other side of Shampoo. Merle took the locker next to Hotaru; Jim took the one next to Merle.
Setsuna came around and wrote down all the numbers and who was at what locker. She smiled at Usagi who was already decorating her locker with pictures of her friends. Rei tried to take away the one of her and Usagi dressed as Barbies taken at the last Halloween. Akane was unsuccessfully trying to stuff a mallet in her locker.
The bell rang and everyone filtered off towards their first period class.
Duo groaned as Quatre dragged his towards their Language Arts room. Usagi patted Duo on the head. "I know what you mean Duo." Usagi said sadly as Ami rolled her eyes and hurried Usagi along. Gohan was walking in between Akane and Shampoo trying to prevent another argument.
Hotaru, Jim and Merle raced each other up the stairs laughing about having to sit through another class with their 'wonderful' Mr. Himoninny. Trunks, Gene, Haruka and Michiru silently walked to AP physics. Rei, Makoto, Wufei and Heero sauntered up to Geometry with Dr. J. They were still laughing over Wufei's 'Women of the World' class. Well, Wufei was turning purple and Heero was mentally laughing, but the girls were really laughing.
Ranma, Minako and Trowa walked off to their Analysis class. Ranma and Minako were arguing over how the saying, 'no use crying over spilled milk' really went. Minako said that it was 'no use crying over spilled silk' and Ranma thought it was 'never cry over anything'. Trowa shook his head in amusement.
oOo
After First Period…
Usagi and Duo came out of Language Arts almost in tears. Their first homework assignment was to read the first four chapters of To Kill A Mocking Bird and then write a two-page response. Miss Sazuka was letting Shampoo write the paper in Chinese since that was her native language. Ami, Hitomi, Gohan and Quatre shrugged it off. They wouldn't have a problem with it.
"Four chapters!" Usagi moaned leaning on Gohan. She had just waved good-bye to the girls and Quatre and was now walking with Gohan and Duo.
"And then a two-page response!" Duo joined in on the moaning. "Good thing Quatre has the room right next to mine."
Usagi sighed. "Lucky." She wished Shinigo was a boy genius that could help her.
"If you want, I can help you write it after practice tonight." Gohan offered.
Usagi's eyes grew big. "Really? That would be fabulous! Thanks Gohan!" Usagi squealed hugging Gohan. Gohan looked around briefly to make sure Trunks wasn't around to pound him into the ground for hugging Usagi.
"Welcome." Gohan replied after not sensing Trunks' ki.
Usagi hurried into the girl's locker room. She waved to Gohan and Duo before they disappeared into the boy's locker room.
oOo
Second Period…
Ranma sat nervously in his chair glancing at Shampoo and Ryoga. Both kept glancing back at him. Both for different reasons. Shampoo was planning on making the best dish for Ranma and Ryoga was planning on pummeling him when the teacher wasn't looking. Merle was also getting evil glances from Shampoo because she was sitting next to Ranma. Ranma insisted that Merle sit next to him so Shampoo or Ryoga wouldn't.
"Today class, were are going to go over the different types of measuring and experiment with them." The teacher began. Shampoo rolled her eyes. Why was she in this class? She was already a cook at her grandmother's restaurant. Ranma gulped and thanked that Akane wasn't in the room because she would surly set the room on fire somehow.
oOo
Makoto and Hitomi sat in computers staring at their machines in frustration. They both glanced over at Ami. Ami was getting eighty-five words per minute. They were both at eighteen words a minute.
"My specialty is cooking." Makoto muttered glaring at the computer.
"I wish I was in gym right now." Hitomi sighed and glanced out to the fields were the gym classes were running on the track. She could see Usagi chasing the black haired boy known as Wufei around in circles.
Quatre glanced over at Hitomi and Makoto. Makoto was still fuming at the computer and Hitomi was still staring out the window. He shook his head and sighed glancing at Heero. Heero was typing a mile a minute, as usual, with the same scowl that he wore when he worked on his laptop.
"EEP!" And KABLOOM! Filled the computer lap.
Everyone looked over to see Makoto with a black face and her computer smoking. The teacher rushed over to her. "Makoto, what happened?" The concerned teacher asked.
"I, I don't know. I, I just pushed a few keys and- KABLOOM!" Makoto imitated the explosion.
"Maybe you shouldn't type any more today." The teacher advised.
"Yes ma'am." Makoto winked at Hitomi. Hitomi giggled silently. Ami rolled her eyes and continued typing. She knew Makoto probably gave it a little shock with her lightning magic. Even Heero's lip twitched in amusement.
oOo
"AAAAAAARG! YOU TAKE THAT BACK WUFEI CHANG! " Usagi hollered chasing Wufei around the field goal pole.
"HA! NEVER ODANGO ATAMA!" Wufei cried putting on some extra speed as Usagi began to close in on him.
Rei, Minako and Gohan sighed as they continued to watch Usagi and Wufei run around the field goal pole. Van turned to Rei confused. "Why doesn't she like to be called Odango Atama?" He asked.
"Her ex-boyfriend used to call her that." Rei whispered. Van nodded. Gohan logged away the information that Usagi had an ex-boyfriend so he could tell Trunks.
Hotaru and Jim were still running around the track and watched Usagi from a distance. "I never knew someone could be so loud." Jim commented. They could hear Usagi yelling when they were on the opposite side of the track. The Football field and the track were right next to each other. "She can get… vocal." Hotaru agreed, but tried to keep her princess's honor in tact.
"Woo! Would ya look at that! Try to keep from drooling Trowa." Duo whistled watching Usagi run.
Trowa was sitting in the grass meditating with his eyes closed. He opened one eye to take in his surroundings and closed it again. The corner of his mouth rose slightly in a smile at the scene Usagi and Wufei made.
oOo
"PREPARED TO DIE RANMA SAOTOME!"
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! RYOGA! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Ranma hollered as he ran around the room trying to escape Ryoga's yellow umbrella. The teacher had stepped out of the room to get more sugar and the second the door closed Ryoga had leaped at Ranma.
Shampoo was chasing Ryoga with a sword. "STAY AWAY FROM AIREN!" She shrieked.
Merle was under the table to avoid debris of the three chasers. She was enjoying the show and was eating a box of popcorn with a smile on her face.
oOo
Trunks and Gene sat in their desks in the AP calculus room. The teacher was putting a very long and very hard problem on the chalkboard. Gene leaned over to Trunks. "Hey, Trunks, what do you think of Usagi." He asked.
Trunks narrowed his eyes at Gene. "Why?"
"Well, I thought she was kind of cute and I was wondering if she would go out with a guy like me." Gene smirked. He could totally tell Trunks was in lust with the girl. He was obvious, and Gene thought it was hilarious, so he decided to tease his new friend.
"WHAT? Never! She would go for a guy like me!" Trunks hissed at Gene.
Michiru restrained Haruka from pummeling the life out of Trunks and Gene. "Take it easy Haruka." She whispered.
"Did you hear WHOM their talking about? Our little Princess!" She whispered angrily. Michiru rolled her eyes. Haruka was as bad as Kenji when it came to Usagi.
oOo
On to Seventh Hour…
BRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNG!
Usagi was running down the hallway AGAIN. She was late AGAIN. Her backpack bounced off her hip with each step. She slid around a corner and saw the room 713 and put on an extra burst of speed. She burst into the classroom out of breath. There, she got a strange feeling of déjà vu. Once again the whole class was staring at her, including the teacher.
"I'm SO sorry Mr. Weizer! My medieval history teacher, Mr. Randall wanted to ask me a few questions after class, and this has to be the hardest classroom to find in the whole school." She wheezed. Mr. Weizer nodded and Usagi took her seat next to Van.
"All right. Today is going to be a study hall. I had a long night last night and my girlfriend and I are at an unstable area in our relationship, so today is a study hall." Mr. Weizer announced. The class, except Usagi, signed in understandingly. Mr. Weizer didn't get any last night.
"Well, that's a load off my shoulders." Usagi said cheerily pulling out To Kill A Mocking Bird out of her backpack and opened it to the first page. Trunks smiled at her as he pulled out his AP calculus homework.
Gohan fluttered his eyes at Trunks in cheap imitation of a girl. Trunks slapped Gohan upside the head with his calculus book. Usagi looked up from her book giving Trunks a strange look.
Trunks looked at Gohan before telling Usagi, "There was a bug on his head." He pointed at Gohan. Gohan rolled his eyes and Van just raised an eyebrow at the obvious lie. Usagi shrugged and went back to reading.
To the home cooking room…
"Minako, what the HELL is that?" Rei asked pointing at the pasty substance in Minako's bowl.
"I put one cup of vanilla in." Minako defended her 'substance'.
"You were only suppose to put one teaspoon of vanilla in." Makoto said shaking her head.
"Oopsy?" Minako smiled. "But it smells good!"
Makoto and Rei groaned.
Back to auto shop…
"Hello Usagi."
Usagi looked up startled from her book. The captain of the football team had pulled a chair up to theirtable and was sitting next to her. "Uh, hi." Usagi greeted blushing.
"Do you need any help with that book? It's very tough with out the cliff notes." He told her winking.
"Actually, Gohan is helping me, but thanks for the offer." Usagi smiled at him. Trunks glared at Gohan. Gohan smiled sheepishly.
His smile disappeared and his eyes flashed disappointment. He turned to Gohan and Trunks. "Hey, congratulations on making my team guys. I'll see you at practice." He told them before getting up.
Seconds later Ranma leaped on to their table. "What are you talking about Ryoga? I never dishonored Akane!" He yelled as Ryoga tried to punch his again.
"I saw you with my very own eyes Ranma Saotome!" Ryoga accused.
"What did I do?" He asked curiously.
"You were hugging Shampoo!" He accused.
"What?" Ranma shrieked.
Usagi sighed and closed her book. "You aren't only cheating on Akane, you're cheating on Mousse!" Ryoga cried.
"A Moose? Ranma is cheating on a Moose?" Van asked confused.
"What's Mousse got to do with any of this?" Ranma demanded.
"Mousse is Shampoo's boyfriend." Ryoga told Van.
"Shampoo is dating a moose?" Van asked wondering why anyone would go out with an animal.
"Mousse and Shampoo aren't going out!" Ranma yelled.
Ryoga pulled out a bucket of cold water from behind his back. "I'll show YOU Ranma." Ryoga threatened.
"Hey, take it easy buddy!" Ranma cried holding up his hands. "You wouldn't do that to your pal now, would ya?"
Ryoga smirked. "Try me."
"EXCUSE ME!" Usagi yelled standing up. "I'm TRYING to read my book so I can PASS language arts, now GET OFF MY TABLE!"
Ranma and Ryoga immediately ran off at Usagi's tone of voice. "Sorry Usagi." Ranma called.
"That's much better." Usagi commented leaning back into her chair opening her book again. Van, Gohan and Trunks gave Usagi an odd look before continuing with their work, even though Van was wondering HOW anyone would go out with a moose.
To the Gym…
Hitomi watched in shock as Shampoo and Akane laughed and hugged.
"Friends?" Shampoo asked timidly.
Akane nodded. "Friends… as long as you keep your crazy grandmother away from me." Akane agreed.
Ami walked up to Hitomi. "Did they just agree to become friends?" She asked.
Merle bounded up to the group. "There goes my second form entertainment." She sighed plopping down on the grass.
Hitomi turned to the cat girl and girl genius. "Shampoo asked Akane why they always fought, and Akane replied over Ranma and Shampoo said that she was tired of competing for Ranma when he didn't like either of them so they agreed to be friends… it's a miracle." Hitomi informed them.
"I never would have predicted this." Ami marveled at the two new friends.
"I don't even think my visions could have seen this." Hitomi commented.
"Oh c'mon guys, it's not like the world ended, we've just agreed to be friends." Akane rolled her eyes.
Hmmm… Back to the Auto shop…
"HA, HA!" Duo burst into hysterics and fell to the floor. Heero sat with a black expression, except his lip was twitching again. Trowa shook his head in disgust. Quatre sighed and patted Wufei on the back. "Good luck." He told the Chinese man.
"Do you SERIOUSLY have to write a report on your favorite woman in history?" Duo choked trying to keep from laughing. Wufei nodded. Duo cracked up again rolling around on the floor. Heero looked away so no one would see the laughter in his eyes or the smile on his face. Trowa bent his head and his body shook with contained laughter.
"ARG! You guys are IMPOSSIBLE!" Wufei yelled before stomping over to Van. Van and Ranma were his partners for the report. He sat down next to Van in a huff and was muttering about injustice.
Usagi looked up from her book. "What so unfair?" She asked. She had a lollipop in her mouth and turned her lips red. Wufei almost blushed at how cute she looked. "We have to do a report on weak women." Wufei muttered looking away from Usagi.
Usagi raised an eyebrow. "Weak you say? I'm sure Haruka could convince you otherwise." Usagi smirked as Wufei's hand flew up to his purple eye.
Wufei was about to comment back when the bell rang. Wufei walked back to his table to gather his stuff. Duo was still rolling on the floor with laughter. Wufei muttered injustice and kicked Duo out of his way.
Usagi stood up and put her book in her bag. "Hey Gohan, I'll met you after practice by our lockers, okay?" She told him.
"All right, see ya Usagi." He called as Usagi ran out the door to met Hitomi for track practice.
oOo
After practice…
Trunks and Gohan walked back to their lockers. "Are you serious? Usagi is coming over to your house?" Trunks asked darkly.
"Well, I was hoping yours because you know how my mom can get." Gohan said hopefully.
"All right. Just don't let Bulma talk to her for to long. Last night everyone was bugging me to find out who I liked." He told him fiercely.
"Deal." Gohan said smiling as they walked into their locker hall.
Usagi was sitting in front of her locker. She was reading To Kill A Mocking Bird. She looked up when Gohan and Trunks walked up to her. "Hey guys!"
"Are you ready Usagi? We're going to Trunks' house because it's, uh, closer." Gohan told her.
Minako and Akane had been walking to the locker hall when they heard Gohan. Minako and Akane stopped and peeked around the corner.
"No problem." Usagi shot Trunks a dazzling smile. Usagi stood up and grabbed her book following Gohan and Trunks.
Minako and Akane ducked into a different locker hall to avoid being seen. "Usagi is going over to a guys house?" Minako asked Akane.
"Looks like it, that Gohan in really cute." Akane commented.
"We MUST follow them!" Minako cried standing up.
"What? Why?" Akane shrieked.
"Because, Usagi is going over to a GUY'S house." She told her.
"So?"
"So? So! So Usagi is going OVER to a GUY'S house!" Minako shrieked.
"Yeah…" Akane rolled her eyes and walked to her locker.
"C'mon Akane, don't you want to know why?" Minako asked following Akane.
"She's going to get help writing a paper." Akane told her.
Minako narrowed her eyes. "How do YOU know?"
Akane slammed her locker and gave Minako THE look. "Because, she told me at lunch… she told YOU at lunch. She told EVERYONE at lunch that Gohan was helping her with her paper!" Akane cried throwing her arms up in the air.
Minako's face lit up. "Oh yeah! I remember now!" She giggled. Akane sighed and rolled her eyes muttering 'why me?'
oOo
To Trunks' House…
"Wow! This is YOUR house Trunks? It's bigger than my block!" Usagi screeched at Trunks pulled up to a mansion. Trunks and Gohan laughed as the climbed out of the car. Usagi stepped out looking at the yellow dome in awe.
"It's Capsule Corporation Headquarters." Trunks told her.
Usagi followed the two boys wordlessly. She, Usagi, was standing in front of Capsule Corporation Headquarters? She couldn't wait to tell Minako.
Trunks opened the door to let Gohan and Usagi in. They walked into the kitchen where Gohan and Trunks always went after school. "Shall we start the paper?" Gohan asked ushering her to a chair.
"Yeah." Usagi sighed dejectedly. She had almost forgotten about the paper.
"Well, I'll be in my room… to give you guys quiet…" Trunks said as he walked out of the kitchen. But not before giving Gohan the death glare. The study session went smoothly, except the fact that Trunks would come in the room every ten minutes and then Chibi Trunks came in with Goten and ran around the kitchen table twenty times before Gohan threatened to throw them off of Kami's Tower. Then Bulma came in and asked Usagi a billion questions before Gohan asked her to leave. They were lucky and got no visit from Vegeta.
As they were finishing up, Trunks walked in smiling. "Well, you guys are done already? Wow!" Gohan gave him a murderous glance and sighed.
"I better get going, I have a meeting with, uh, Rei." Usagi almost said Senshi put covered it up quickly.
"I'll drive you home." Trunks offered.
"Thanks!" Usagi exclaimed smiling.
Gohan rolled his eyes. "I'll walk home, I could use the exercise."
Trunks smirked at Gohan as he and Usagi walked out the door. He opened the door for Usagi and waved to Gohan. Usagi talked all the way to Rei's temple where Trunks dropped her off.
"Thanks for the ride Trunks." Usagi smiled as she got out of the car.
"No problem Usagi." Trunks smiled at Usagi as she ran up the steps to the temple. Trunks sighed happily before driving off.
oOo
Let us skip to Thursday night, shall we?
Thursday Night, Parent's night…
Ranma and Genma ran through the rain towards the school. Actually, a red haired girl and a giant Panda ran through the rain to school.
"Why didn't we drive with Soun and Akane?" Ranma complained as she looked at her swelling chest and red hair.
"Rar war roar." Was Genma's answer.
Ranma seethed in anger and punched her dad. "POP!" She cried.
The panda held up a sign that said, "We're training."
Ranma turned purple before screaming and chasing the Panda down the street towards the school.
oOo
Akane and Soun stood by the entrance to the school with a pot of hot water. They were both looking around for girl Ranma and a giant panda. An old shriveled up lady approached the two with Shampoo trailing behind.
"Where is my future grandson?" She asked narrowing her eyes.
Akane glowered at Cologne. "He's in side already." She lied.
"Good." Cologne said before sweeping into the school like she was taller than three feet.
Shampoo stopped in front of Akane. "I try to convince her no come, but she no listen." She whispered before following her grandmother.
Akane spotted Usagi with her mother and father walking towards the school. Usagi stopped in front of Akane. "Hey Akane, what are you doing here?" She asked gesturing to the entrance.
"We're waiting for Ranma." Akane told her.
"Usagi! Akane!" The two girls turned to see Gohan followed by Goku and Chichi.
"Gohan!" Usagi squealed as she and Akane waved to Gohan.
Gohan ran up to them. Usagi's dad narrowed his eyes at him and Gohan smiled laughing nervously before turning to Usagi and Akane. "Has Trunks arrived yet? You can't miss him with his dad and mom." He asked.
"No, but Heero, Wufei, Duo, Quatre and Trowa are helping parents find their way around the school since they don't have parents." Akane giggled.
"What?" Usagi cried. "I can see Quatre and Duo doing that, but how is Heero helping people? Is he glaring at them? And Wufei is probably calling all the mothers weak." Usagi giggled. Gohan and Akane laughed along.
"Are these your friends Gohan?" Goku asked coming up beside his son.
Gohan nodded. "Yep, this is Usagi Tsukino, and Akane Tendo." Gohan introduced his friends.
"Nice to meet you- FOOD!" Goku cried out as he saw Van walk by with a plate of cookies. Van, Makoto, Haruka, Michiru and Ryoga were serving drinks and cookies. The Gundam boys were helping parents around the school.
Van looked at Goku as saliva dripped out of his mouth. "Uh, Sir?" Van backed up wondering if Goku had that rabies disease Hitomi told him about.
"We'll take the plate." Chichi told Van grabbing the plate of cookies. "It's safer that way." Chichi told him and Van nodded, running off. Chichi handed Goku the plate of cookies. Goku devoured them in mere moments.
"Well, Usagi, we better get going, we don't want to be late." Kenji Tsukino ushered Usagi away from the boy. Usagi waved to her friends as her father started the boy talk.
"We better get going too." Chichi said hauling Goku in the school.
Gohan rolled his eyes and waved to Akane. "See you in a few." He called following his mother and father.
Akane looked back out into the rain. "Oooh, that Ranma better not make us tardy." She seethed as she continued to wait. Soun was to busy eating a bowl of ramen that he had brought along to hear his youngest daughter.
After five more minutes of waiting Akane finally saw a giant panda being chased by a mad girl. "Ranma, hurry up!" Akane shouted holding up the yellow teapot. Ranma stopped the chase and ran over to Akane.
"Thanks Akane." He said after pouring the contents on his head. He tossed the pot to his father who poured the rest of the water over him. A man in a gi with glasses stood where the panda was moments before.
"Now c'mon, the bell is going to ring any minute." Akane ran inside the school with Ranma and their fathers close on her heels. They ran up the ten staircases and down the hall towards homeroom. Genma and Soun were huffing and puffing by the time they reached the room. Ranma and Akane walked into the room noting half of their homeroom class and their parents were sitting in a circle on the floor in the middle of the classroom, the desks had been pushed against the walls. The other half of the class wasn't in the room, they were helping parents or serving snacks.
Setsuna smiled warmly at them. "Hello Ranma and Akane, please sit in the circle." She gestured to everyone else.
Akane lead her father to the circle and plopped down in between Minako and Gohan. Ranma slouched in between Ami and Jim, eyeing Cologne across the circle. He glanced around the circle to see who was there. Beside Ami and her mom was Rei and her grandfather (who reminded him of Happosai), Usagi and her over protective father and smiling mother, Hitomi and her mother, Shampoo and her great grandmother Cologne, Minako and her parents, Akane and her father, Gohan and his parents (Goku was still eating), Trunks and his… they looked too young to be his parents, Ryoga and his mother (who looked as lost as Ryoga), Jim and Gene.
"Hey, Jim, where are your parents?" Ranma asked.
Jim shrugged. "Gene is my guardian." Jim told him. Ranma nodded.
"Welcome parents to Ken High School, I am the children's homeroom teacher, Miss Setsuna Meioh. I'm also a mythology teacher. I help your children if they have difficulties with homework, school or socializing, even though we do have a guidance counselor, Mr. Auron. Homeroom is a type of study hall. First we are going to introduce ourselves. We'll start with Akane."
"I'm Tendo Akane, this is my father, Tendo Soun." Setsuna nodded to Gohan.
"I'm Son Gohan, and these are my parents, Son Goku and Son Chichi."
"I'm Briefs Trunks and this is my mother, Bulma and my father, Vegeta."
"I'm Hibiki Ryoga and this is my mother, Hibiki Tsuki."
"I am Jim Hawking and this is my guardian, Gene Starwind."
"I'm Saotome Ranma and this is my Pop, Saotome Genma."
"I am Mizuno Ami and this is my mother, Doctor Mizuno."
"I'm Hino Rei and this is my grandfather."
"Tsukino Usagi and this is my Father and my Mother, Kenji and Ikuko."
"I'm Kanzaki Hitomi and this is my mother, Kanzaki Suzu."
"Me Shampoo and this my Great Grandmother, Cologne."
"I'm Aino Minako! And these are my parents."
"Now that all the parents know who they are in school with, we'll continue on. Tonight, for the next twenty minutes we are going to talk about the pressures of high school. Drugs and Sex." Usagi flinched as steam from her father's ears started pouring out. "Your children will be pressured into sex, especially your daughters." Kenji started to turn red Usagi scooted closer to Hitomi. "We want to warn the young girls of date rape, where their boy friends force them into sex."
Kenji whipped around to Usagi. "You are NEVER dating while you're in high school, do you understand?" He said through a clenched jaw.
"Honey, don't be so harsh, not every boy will try to have sex with our daughter. Do you remember how we were?" Her mom spoke up.
Kenji turned back to Usagi. "You are NEVER dating EVER." He said turning purple. Usagi nodded and turned to Hitomi. Hitomi patted Usagi on the back in sympathy.
"Your child might also be offered drugs here, even though they are banned from school grounds."
Kenji turned to his wife and wailed, "Our daughter is going to be a druggie!"
"Thanks for the support dad." Usagi grumbled wondering where the nearest hole was so she could crawl in.
"On a happier note, Homecoming is in three weeks, so support your child if he or she wants to run for their year's prince or princess." Setsuna held up a little Go Ken High School banner.
BRRRRRRRRRRING!
Setsuna stood up. "You may all now go to the rest of your classes. Have fun!" She waved as the students and their parents walked out of the classroom, except Usagi who was attempting to dig a hole in the floor with her finger nails. Setsuna rolled her eyes and kicked her princess out of the room.
oOo
First Period…
"And this is my Language Arts room." Usagi ushered her parents in the door and took the nearest seat to Ami.
"Hello Usagi dear." Ami's mother greeted Usagi.
"Hello Dr. Mizuno." Usagi greeted cheerfully.
"Shampoo, what do you mean you haven't knocked Akane out of the picture yet?" Cologne lectured. "You are an Amazon! You deserve the best!"
"Yes Grandmother." Shampoo followed the small old wrinkled woman into the classroom.
"Gee, I feel loved now." Akane muttered as she and her father walked in behind them. Ami and Usagi giggled.
"Daaaad! You've already eaten everything off all the trays on the tenth floor, the ninth floor and the eighth floor! Can you stop eating?" Gohan complained as he Goku and Chichi walked into the room.
"I can't help it! I'm still hungry!" Goku patted his son on the back. He turned to Kenji. "Hi, I'm Son Goku." He introduced himself.
"Tsukino Kenji, and keep your son away from my daughter." He threatened. Goku just shrugged. "Daaaaad!" Usagi moaned sinking deep into her seat. "Just kill me now." She muttered. Ami giggled until a glare from Usagi silenced her.
oOo
"Look at all these girls! I'm sure one of them wouldn't mind working at the temple."
"GRANDPA!" Rei screeched grabbing the old man before he could look up some girl's skirt. "Not here, okay?" She growled.
"Right, did you see the lady in your Homeroom? She was fine! What was her name? Cologne?"
"Grandpa? You think shampoo's Great Grandmother is cute? Oh boy, we really need to get your eyes checked." Rei muttered sinking deeper into her seat.
oOo
Second Period…
"But, but, there are BOYS in this class!"
"Yeah dad, last time I checked, this school is co-ed." Usagi replied rolling her eyes as she walked into the gym.
"But there are BOYS in your GYM class."
"We just covered this dad!" Usagi sighed frustrated and plopped down next to Minako.
"I, for one, am glad there are boys in this class." Minako whispered to Usagi and winked.
Usagi giggled. "I think you have a crush on someone."
Minako pulled an innocent face. "Moi?"
"Hey guys, my dad is giving Aisha tips on training." Gohan told them sitting beside Usagi. "He is also trying to convince her that we should learn martial arts." Gohan grinned.
"HEY! YOU! BOY! GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!" Kenji came running up and chased Gohan away.
Gohan waved as he sprinted across the gym. Usagi smacked her head and moaned. "Why did Daddy want to come tonight?" Usagi wondered aloud.
Beside her Minako sighed romantically and hearts danced in her eyes as she looked at a picture. "Minako?" Usagi asked waving a hand in front of her face. She followed her gaze and looked down at the picture. "MINAKO! You have a crush on-" A hand clamped over her mouth tightly.
"You tell anyone and you're dead." Minako threatened.
Usagi nodded. "Our little secret." She agreed after Minako took her hand away. "But how did you get the picture?" Usagi asked.
"I, I stole it from him when he was taking a nap at lunch." Minako blushed.
"MINAKO!" Usagi giggled.
oOo
SPLASH! And "POOOOOOOOP!" were heard from the home cooking room. Shampoo had been walking with a glass of cold water when Ryoga accidentally ran in to her exclaiming to his mother he finally found the classroom. The glass had flown through the air and landed on Genma's head. Ranma yelled when he saw the panda sitting on the chair next to him. The whole class stared at the panda wondering where it had come from. Ranma was turning bright red.
oOo
Third Period…
"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE HOT WATER PUMP ISN'T WORKING?" Ranma yelled at the office lady who had just told him the boiler in the school was broken. "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH A GIANT PANDA?" He screeched. Ranma huffed and stomped off with Genma the panda following him gnawing on a piece of bamboo.
oOo
Usagi sat in Algebra 2 as the teacher explained how homework couldn't be in a day late. She sighed and leaned back. Shampoo was sitting right behind her and she was daydreaming as her grandmother stirred a small pot of potion. Goku was staring at Gohan's math book in utter confusion. Hitomi was telling her mother about their upcoming track meet. Usagi glanced at her dad who was glaring at every single guy in the whole room, including the teacher. "Great, I can't wait till seventh period." She muttered to herself.
BAM! The door burst open reveling a guy with thick glasses in a raincoat and holding an umbrella. "SHAMPOO! I'M HERE TO SAVE YOU FROM RANMA! WHERE IS THAT DEVIL?"
It took all of Usagi's will power not to crack up laughing then and there. Shampoo sat with her mouth open in complete shock wondering how Mousse got here when she had left him as a duck in a box chained and buried under some concrete. The teacher narrowed his eyes at the culprit and slammed the door on Mousse. A thump and an 'ow' was heard from the other side of the door.
oOo
Duo tossed a grape in the air before catching it with his tongue. "This is so boring" he complained rolling over on his stomach to see what the other Gundam boys were doing. Heero was sitting against the wall with his eyes closed. Trowa was exactly the same on the opposite wall. Wufei was pacing the hall muttering about weak women and Quatre was reading a magazine. They had been helping parents all night and turning the classes they got to sit in the hallways and do nothing. Duo had grabbed Van's plate of fruit and ran off with it. "I rather be on a mission then this." He complained again. Once again, no one replied. Duo sighed and ate another grape.
oOo
forth period…
"This is dull. I rather be sparring with Kakorotto then sitting to this man yak." Vegeta complained. Bulma just rolled her eyes.
"Try sitting through this everyday for the rest of the year, like me." Trunks told him. So far Vegeta hadn't tried to kill anyone yet be he was wondering what would happen when then got to seventh period and Goku would be in the same room again.
oOo
"GO LONG!" Van shouted to Duo as he ran down the hallway. Van threw the lemon as hard as he could. Duo leaped into the air catching it and tumbled down on to the ground.
He bounced back up. "TOUCHDOWN!" He yelled as he did a little dance at the end of the hallway.
Haruka looked at Michiru blankly. "This is our entertainment for the night? Why don't we go find a janitor's closet?" she asked raising her eyebrow and smirking.
Michiru glared at her. "Haruka…"
Haruka sighed and leaned back against the wall and continued to watch Van and Duo play football. Hotaru giggled as Duo tripped over the leg Wufei had stuck out and he went tumbling to the ground. Duo muttered something about 'Injustice' and Wufei just smirked.
oOo
"Wow son! Those are really good Marshmallows you drew!" Goku clapped his son on the back and almost knocked him across the room. Luckily, Gohan was a Saiya-jin. "Dad, those are people. That one is Usagi, that one is Duo and this one is Minako." Gohan said dryly.
"Oh…" Was all Goku could reply with.
"Geesh, how many classes do you have with that boy?" Kenji asked his daughter pointing to Gohan. "I think he might be stalking you."
Usagi sighed and sank down in her chair. "I have all my classes with him." She told him bracing for his reaction.
"WHAT!"
oOo
Fifth Period…
"Man, I wish I could be back in biology one." Gene sighed sitting back in his chair and propping his legs up on the table.
"It is simple, Hotaru and I usually goof off during this class." Jim replied following Gene's example and propping his feet up on the table.
"Does little Jim have a crush on Hotaru?" Gene prodded grinning.
Jim turned scarlet and looked away.
"I knew it!" Gene laughed
oOo
Rei sighed and rested her head on the desk. She wished that Makoto wasn't an orphan so they could talk. They only thing she had done the whole night was keep her grandpa from looking up girls skirts.
"This geography stuff is boring, maybe your teacher would want to become a priestess at the temple, what do you think?" Her grandfather asked.
Rei moaned and hit her head on a desk wondering why her father couldn't take two minutes out of her busy schedule and be here instead of her grandpa.
"I'm glad you thought it was a good idea too!" Her grandfather smiled.
oOo
Sixth Period…
Ranma trudged down the hallway with his father right behind him. He was glad he was still in Panda form so he couldn't laugh at him when he found out what his sixth period was. They stopped in front of the door that still read 'GIRL POWER'. Ranma swallowed and opened the door.
"Ranma! Is this your father?" the teacher greeted looking at the Panda in confusion.
Genma held up a sign that said, 'I'm Genma Saotome, nice to meet you'.
"Well, Genma, welcome to the Women of the World class." She smiled. Genma started laughing which sounded like a dog choking.
oOo
Usagi was on the floor crawling down the aisle of desks humming the Mission Impossible theme as she made her way back to Gohan. Her father was looking the opposite direction when she flung her self out of the chair, hit the floor and started crawling towards Gohan.
She popped up next to him and Gohan gave her an amused smile. "What was that?" he asked trying not to laugh.
"I thought I should warn you, my dad is going to go nuts next period when he finds out I'm the ONLY girl in Auto Shop." She whispered before flinging herself back down to the floor and started to crawl back up the aisle. Gohan grinned as he watched Usagi hop back into her seat and give her dad a sweet and innocent smile.
oOo
Seventh Period…
"Minako!" Rei screeched glomping her friend. "I'm about to go crazy, my grandpa is driving me crazy! Why didn't my dad want to come tonight?" She moaned. Minako smiled and pushed Rei off of her.
"Calm down Rei, calm down." Minako told her in a calming voice.
Rei took a deep breath. "Thanks Minako."
Minako giggled. "What?" Rei asked.
"I was just thinking how Usagi must be keeping her dad under control in Auto Shop." Minako smiled. Rei's eyes widened and she began to laugh too.
oOo
"Dad? Dad?" Usagi asked waving a hand in front of his face. He was turning a bluish purple color.
"Honestly dear, it's only a classroom full of boys." Ikuko rolled her eyes and sighed and hauled her husband over to Usagi's table. Honestly, this was getting ridiculous. Her poor daughter was never going to have a normal date. Gohan and Trunks' eyes widened as the looked at Usagi's dad's face. He looked like he was going to explode.
"KAKOROTTO!" Vegeta bellowed.
"What? I'm right next to you." Goku asked rubbing his ear.
"Let's spar!" He smirked.
"Right." Goku began to stand up.
"I DON'T THINK SO!" Chichi and Bulma exclaimed at the same time. "You are sitting RIGHT here and acting good! It's VERY important that Gohan gets a GOOD education, unlike you!" Chichi told her husband. "I don't want you to embarrass ME or TRUNKS. So you are going to SIT here and STAY like a good little Saiyajin." Bulma yelled at Vegeta. Vegeta and Goku sat with their heads bowed taking their verbal abuse. "IS THAT CLEAR?" the two wives bellowed.
"Yes dear."
"Whatever woman."
"AND DON'T CALL ME WOMAN!"
Usagi sat with her mouth open. "Wow…" She muttered. "You two really showed them whose boss."
Bulma and Chichi smiled at Usagi. "Thank you."
"I'm Tsukino Ikuko, and this is my daughter Usagi, she and Gohan seem like good friends." Usagi's mother introduced herself.
"I've gotten that impression too, Gohan is always talking about Usagi. I'm Son Chichi by the way and this is my friend Briefs Bulma."
Usagi looked at her dad. "So…many…boys…" Was all that came out before he slumped to the floor.
"Honestly Kenji, must you ALWAYS make a scene?" Ikuko rolled her eyes.
"You must always show your husband that you WILL NOT be pushed around." Bulma smiled in approval.
"And that is why I'm not married." Mr. Weizer muttered to himself.
"MOUSSE?" was heard all throughout the Auto Shop as the man from before with thick glasses charged Ranma.
"You stay away from SHAMPOO!" He hollered.
Ranma rolled his eyes and jumped out of the way leaving Mousse to run into the wall and knock himself out. "Baka." Ranma muttered before walking away.
"Oh my." Ikuko exclaimed.
Usagi shrugged. "That happens a couple times a day, you get used to it. The funny thing is, Mousse doesn't even go to school here." Usagi commented.
"Interesting." Chichi replied.
oOo
Usagi sighed in relief and sunk into the back seat of her parent's car. "Thank Selene that is finally over." She muttered as her parents got into the car.
"You go to a very nice school honey." Ikuko told her daughter. "And all your class mates seem very nice."
"I vote we send her to an all girls school in the Swiss Mountains." Kenji spoke up through gritted teeth.
"DAD!" Usagi screeched.
"Honey, we've talked about this before, we can't AFFORD it. Usagi is going to be fine at this school." Ikuko argued.
"Thanks mom." Usagi smiled gratefully. At least she had one parent on her side.
"Oh, honey, so when are you going to go dress shopping for Homecoming?"
"SHE'S NOT GOING WITH A BOY!" Kenji screeched almost driving them off the road.
"DAD!"
"Kenji…"
oOo
