"So Ranma, how was your first day of classes here?" Ami asked as everyone was digging into the snacks Ranma bought for everyone.
"Better then my first day at Furinkan, but I'm a little worried my homeroom teacher and the class I'm in seems kinda weird." Ranma frowned.
"How is it strange?" Rei questioned suspicious it might be yet another threat.
"The class is almost all girls, only four other guys and my teacher insists I call her Millie instead of Ms. Nagase." Ranma responded.
"Wait your in Millie Nagase's class?" Makoto eyes widened.
"Uh, Yeah, is that bad?" Ranma questioned.
"There are a lot of strange, often dirty rumors about the going ons of her class." Minako responded.
"Oh come now, they're just baseless rumors, there is no way the teacher is doing anything like what was said." Ami explained.
"Like what?" Rei and Ranma asked, Rei because she was curious, Ranma because if Millie was a friend of his mother's he wouldn't doubt anything when it came to her.
"Well one student walking past swore they heard the teacher go on to explain that today they would be learning how to please their partner." Minako answered causing Ranma to pale.
"Even if that was said, it could have meant a variety of things, or it could have been taken out of context." Ami said.
"What electives did you decide to take?" Usagi asked.
"Home Economics and Art, but I wasn't able to go to either of them yet because Millie was helping me catch up on what I missed so far. I think I can do those two with out it being to hard, and with Home Economics I'll learn to cook better, which is something I needed to learn anyway."
"Your in Home Ec, this is great the teacher has me as a student assistant in that class, I'll be able to help you out." Makoto grinned.
"That's good; I'm pretty bad with all the housework stuff, so I could use the help." Ranma grinned back.
"So you can't cook?" Rei asked.
"I can cook, but it's all simple stuff. It's still pretty good, but when compared to the great tasting food I've had from Makoto and Kasumi, my food doesn't come close to their's." Ranma said causing Makoto to blush at the compliment to her culinary skills.
"So, any specific reason you chose art, or was it just because it's an easy class?" Ami asked.
"That was one reason, but I've been to a lot of strange, but really cool looking places on my training trip. I think I'd like to be able to draw some of them." Ranma smiled.
"I'd like to see them if you ever do draw them." Hotaru said.
"Sure, if any of it's any good that won't be a problem." Ranma answered, "Oh look there's Michiru and Haruka." Ranma said as he waved the two over.
"Um, hi everyone." Michiru said slightly embarrassed as the group looked over at her and Haruka's rumpled clothes and also noticed that Michiru's usually perfect hair was messy.
"So, we heard you guys lost track of time today." Minako teased.
"Yeah, maybe next time we'll take you in with us so we'll have a time keeper." Haruka responded.
Minako paled, "Ah, t-that's okay."
Snap "Hey, why are you taking a picture of me, while I look like this." Michiru blushed as she tried to grab the camera out of Makoto's hands.
"What, don't be so embarrassed, it's just such a rarity to see you look messy I couldn't help myself." Makoto grinned.
"Sorry we didn't take you around town like we said we were going to." Haruka said to Ranma as she watched her lover try and take the camera from Makoto's quick hands.
"It was no biggie, I had fun hanging out with my new friends." Ranma smiled softly, "It's kind of a new experience to just be able to hang out and not worry about one of my friends trying to kill me or marry me."
'…Should I even ask as to what he meant by his friends trying to' Haruka worried, "They can't be very good friends if they try and kill you." Haruka said.
"True, but I've never had many friends, so I gotta put up with the silly quirks of the friends I do have." Ranma shrugged.
'Seriously what sort of crap did he have to go through for murder to be a quirk among friends.' Haruka wondered.
Michiru finally gave up on getting the camera from Makoto and sighed.
"Hey Makoto, you're pretty quick." Ranma laughed as Makoto held a victory sign in front of her.
"Would you like to spar with me?" Makoto brightened.
"Sure, but I don't think we can today, how bout tomorrow after school." Ranma smiled.
"Heh, I call winner." Haruka grinned.
"Then afterwards we can take you on that tour of the area we were supposed to give you today." Michiru said.
"Sounds great, so we gonna head home now?" Ranma asked
"Sure, but did you want to go out for dinner tonight?" Haruka responded as her stomach growled.
"Alright, but uh are you sure you want to, the both of you kinda of uh, smell." Ranma said nervously.
Michiru and Haruka blushed, "Maybe we should just get some fast food." Michiru said as her daughter and the Inner's were trying to contain their giggles from Ranma's rather blunt statement.
"Okay, Nice to meet you Rei, everyone thanks for letting me hang out with ya." Ranma waved as he followed Haruka and Michiru.
"What an interesting person." Ami said.
"Wow, does that mean you like him to Ami-chan." Makoto teased.
Hotaru giggled, "I better go they're going to be wondering what's keeping me.
"Hey if he doesn't mind bring him over to the shrine I'd like to talk to him more about Aura's." Rei said to Hotaru's retreating form.
"And she likes him too." Minako said as she grinned at the blushing shrine maiden.

"So are you upset with me for flaking out on you?" Michiru asked her cousin.
"No, I mean, you're still going to show me the area tomorrow and I've gotten distracted and lost track of time when I'm training so it's not like you did anything bad." Ranma said.
"It was funny, Ranma thought someone was hurt or in trouble." Hotaru giggled as Haruka started the car and began heading to wards a restaurant with a drive through.
"How did you mistake a moan of bliss with one of pain?" Haruka teased.
Ranma turned bright red and mumbled something about proof that women are the true perverts.
"You got that right, a pervert I am and enjoy it I do." Haruka laughed as she grinned lecherously at Michiru.

"Hi Mrs. Tsukino, it's Rei." Rei said over a cell phone, "Is it okay if Usagi stays over at my house tonight?"
"Well, it is a school night, but she's been kind of depressed lately so, it's alright. Just don't stay up all night." Mrs. Tsukino said.
"Usagi, you're Mom said you can sleep over." Rei told Usagi who was busy looking anywhere, but at her.
"Thanks Rei, but there's really nothing wrong." Usagi said as she tried to walk away.
"Usagi," Rei put her hand on Usagi shoulder and began leading her to the Hino shrine. "You know I know you better then that, and I can tell whatever it is, is really bothering you. On the phone just now your mom made a comment about you being depressed lately. So please don't lie to me, we're going to go by my house eat some ice cream and talk about stuff, and if you tell me you don't want to do that then it's even more proof that something is bothering you."
Rei and Usagi walked the rest of the trip to the Hino shrine in silence.
"Grandpa I'm home, Usagi's going to spend the night." Rei called out.
"Ah Welcome home Rei, I got the bath ready if you or your friend wants to use it." Grandpa Hino said.
"Thanks grandpa." Rei smiled
"Your welcome, I also made some stew, so go ahead and dig in if your hungry, I'm going out for a bit, the widow Ibuki needed an um exorcist…Later." Grandpa Hino blushed then ran out.
"Oh that's so nice of him to help out an elderly widow exorcise something." Usagi smiled
"She's only twenty seven and she's not in need of an exorcist." Rei sighed
"Huh?" Usagi questioned.
"It doesn't matter, let's just take a quick hop in the bath change into some pajamas and then we can eat, watch movies, and you can tell me what's really bothering you." Rei stated.
"You're not going to let it go are you?" Usagi frowned.
"No, I'm not. You're my best friend and something is bothering you a lot and you're keeping it all inside. It's not healthy." Rei said.
"It's Mamoru again, I, he's stopped talking to me, he won't tell me what's wrong. It's been over a month and he hasn't even talked to me over the phone once. When I went by his house he just grunted at me until I left and he wouldn't give me a hug. Everything was going better then ever before he just stopped having anything to do with me. I-I just don't know what I did wrong, what did I do to make him hate me again. Does he love someone else? I just don't know what's wrong." Usagi cried, not her usual tears, but long painful sobs.
"It's okay Usagi." Rei whispered to her friend as she stroked her hair which in turn led to Usagi clinging to her midsection sobbing harder.
"It's not, I just don't know what I did wrong." Usagi shook.
"You didn't do anything wrong Usagi, he did. He probably just wanted some time to think and doesn't realize how much his acting like that hurts you." Rei tried to comfort her friend. "He loves you back, he won't be able to stay away long."
'Mamoru, you asshole. I don't know what I ever saw in you, all you ever do is hurt Usagi. He better have a good explanation for his being such a jerk to her or he's going to become a pig roast.' Rei thought as she continued stroking the sobbing Usagi's hair.

Pluto stood silently staring at the time gates searching for something, something she had been searching for two weeks without moving, without sleeping, without eating.
Pluto's eye began to twitch, then her face contorted into an angry snarl. "Work you piece of junk, show me the damn variable. I didn't spend twenty thousand years in this stupid room with no company for you to stop working now." Pluto shouted as she continually smacked the time gates with her Garnet Staff.
"Grr, there hasn't been a variable since the Moon Kingdom fell and now so close to the end this occurs." Pluto sighed. "I need a drink." Immediately after Pluto said this she noticed that another ridiculous probability occurred showing herself becoming a drunken master who conquers and subjugates the universe."
"Better than the one where it shows carrot people invading because they believed Usagi was one of the bunny people trying to rebuild their empire." Pluto sighed. "This job sucks.

"An why should that little HIC cryb-HIC-aby get to be ruler anyway. I'ms da one who hash to do all the real work." Pluto mumbled as she finished another bottle of Vodka. "I needish more booze." Pluto mumbled as she stumbled over to her stash only to find she had drank everything in it.
"Noooooo." Pluto cried at the horror. "Wait I knows, I'll go 'borrow' some." Pluto mumbled before teleporting herself into a room filled with panties, "Olds happi won't min if I borrow soma his-HIC."
Pluto rummaged around the room until she found a bottle of glowing alcohol by a bunch of magical artifacts. "Oh pretty." Pluto mumbled before downing the bottle in under a minute. "Whew, I feel kinda funny, but better'n ever. An I am too, I sees I should be queen HIC. An I will be, I'll rule da Universe and take different worlds alcohol and mens.
Pluto teleports away and Happosai walks in and sees the empty bottle, "Hey what happened to my essence of horny tyrant." Happosai shouted. "Damn it, I'll have to remake the potion, but I'm going to have to find a new source to make it from since I haven't heard from Beryl in a while."
