HEHEY! hahahaha I am back with another chapter! I know, I also feel quite disappointed as I noticed how my update rate changed from every 15 days to a monthly rate. I don't have the time anymore to genuinely write that much now. I am terribly sorry. Still, I will always try my best (as long as I can) to bring you guys each chapter as fast as I can.
NACHETO18: Jajaja me alegra que te haya encantado. Obviamente queda claro mi agradecimiento por darme algo de tu tiempo al leer mi trabajo. Espero genuinamente que este capitulo te agrade tanto como el anterior.
SKELETONKNIGHT: Well, I did have that in my mind as I wrote the chapter. Thanks for reading.
DINOGUY2000: Oh god... hope you have med insurance. I will not plead guilty for a diabetes induced lecture. F #K!
Obviously, I must thank every single soul that has given me their precious views and to those that have shared this long journey with me I am deeply grateful. As always, please leave a review if you have an idea or constructive criticism. I am always open for some things (not all). I also hope you enjoy.

Chapter 4: Back to Normal
Normal, what was normal anyway? Or well, what is normal NOW would be the preferred question. The questions ran through the speedster's mind while showering. Letting the water go through her skin in a sense to calm herself for what was to come. The problem here was that she wasn't quite ready for it.
GOGO
It took her several minutes and endless pinches to truly realize that all that happened was true. She was in a relationship now and above all else, it was with Hiro. Crazy right? Her fingers trembled away at the realization that this was no longer a dream. There were some voices at the back of her head repeating again and again that it was all wrong. Being in a relationship with someone 4 years younger was weird.
She shook her head right away. There was no time to deal with such kind of depressing thoughts. Or at least, not right now.
What do I wear today?
She stopped for a second right there. Something is wrong with her, no, she is probably sick right? Out of the corner of her eye she was able to spot a dress. The skirt barely touched her knees which was one of the reasons why she never used it but…
30 mins later
"Hey Sabi!" Gogo called through the phone.
"What up girl? Already on the lab?"
"Actually, is there any possibility you can come pick me up today?" Gogo's courage was slowly slipping away.
"Sure! Be there in 5."
"Thanks!"
5 minutes. That's more than enough for me to change…. She couldn't do this. The idea of going to college like this was terrifying.
BEEP BEEP!
The trademark honk of Sabi's van was heard through the entirety of her house. She had blanked out, debating whether or not she should change. Thank God her mom was not home at the moment. That would've been more embarrassing.
DAMN!
She gripped her purse so hard her knuckles turned white. There was no going back from this. She opened the door that looked to the street with her head lowered. She walked as fast as she could to the passenger door and shut it as soon as her buttocks touched the couch. Wasabi, knowing very well the situation his friend was in chose to let down on the teasing…. For now.
"You know." Wasabi started as he noticed how Gogo's hands gripped the edge of the skirt with her hands. "You look beautiful dressed like that." Gogo didn't answered, the grip on her skirt softened tho.
"You have changed a lot Gogo." Wasabi said, with a smile on his face. Gog turned her head towards him, trying to decipher if he was teasing or not. "He has changed you for the better." NOW was the time to blush.
"I am not going to say anything else. I like this change for you. If anything, it feels very welcomed." Wasabi continued, with a smile on his face. "The ones you should be worried about is Aiko and Fred. Although I believe Fred will be a more hellish experience." Wasabi chuckled, which made Gogo somewhat smile.
"Thanks, I guess."
"You are welcome… I guess." Wasabi winked at her, earning a disgruntled reproach. This was going to be a long day for her.
Seconds turned into minutes for the poor woman. She didn't want to do this anymore. This was a bad idea. There is no way she's going to present herself this way at the lab.
"We're here!"
NO!
"Are you alright?" She was so lost in thought she never noticed Wasabi opening her door and prying her mind out of her reverie. "We can…"
"NO! no, it's okay. I am okay." Right, there was no need to show any sign of weakness. Not when she could be seen by the entire campus.
"Woman up!" she straightened her back and got out of the car, nervous as hell, but with a goal in mind. In fact, the goal of this little adventure. Blow Hiro's mind and earn some points. Even 'Sabi was able to notice her growing smile.
Still, this was something very new for her and it, the first time she ever went to college dressed like this. The stares, the envious glances from some women and more than curious stares from the male side. She walked through the doors that led to the lab as if she owned the place. Face high and proud with a firm step. She knew everyone was eyeing her. One of those would be of course, her best friend. Her brow twitched and the knowing glance that came from the Blonde.
"Hello there!" HL beamed with delight at the progress of the speedster.
"H-Hi!" Gogo failed at keeping her "decided" look.
"That's how it's done girl!" HL punched lightly Gogo's arm. "Everybody will stare at Hiro in disbelief after today."
"You think?" Gogo asked, pulling an invisible strand of hair behind her ear, a light blush slowly creeping upwards.
"I THINK?" HL started laughing. "You know very well that a large percentage of the male population would kill to be with you right?"
"THAT… that only worsen things."
"Speaking of the devil!" HL smiled, signaling with her eyes to the door.
Gogo… well, Gogo didn't have the courage to really turn her head around towards the door. Mostly because she knew very well who was HL talking about. In the distance, she could hear Hiro saluting the other inhabitants of the lab. His voice always gentle and for some reason a soothing wave ran through Gogo's body.
Steeling herself from the precarious situation, she stood tall and turned her back towards HL.
"Go get him tigress!"
HL giggled with a huge smile on her face. There was no way in heaven she will miss this event. Gogo inhaled and exhaled, trying hard to calm her raging heart. With the first step, she moved towards Hiro in a way she could be confused for royalty. Every set of eyes was glued to her as she made her move.
"…anyway, it's nice to see you guys again!" Hiro smiled at some of his classmates. "What's going on?" Hiro asked, puzzled at the sudden change of mood. "Did something ha…"
Hiro turned around, his eyes betraying his pure intentions. Slowly, his gaze made its way from her legs to her face. "H-Hi L-Leiko!"
No words came from her.
"H-H-How a-are you!?" Hiro started again, his eyes struggling with the temptation of returning to her legs.
Still, no words came from the speedster.
Hiro swallowed. "I-Is there something wrong?" Hiro tried to avoid her gaze, as if she could read his mind somehow.
"Aren't you going to kiss your girlfriend?"
Gogo asked, putting her hands behind her back and leaning down to Hiro's height. She noticed how the boy avoided the unconscious peek at her cleavage. Seeing him like this only fueled her own ego. The reason of his blush was her and there was no one that could bring her down from this high rush of emotions.
"O-of course I would but. I mean, I will is just. Everyone is looking at us and you are. I-I…" Hiro ran out of voice as his blush made his face turn into a tomato. The fact that Gogo's face was getting closer to his didn't help.
"So?"
Her breath barely grazed his lips and it was more than enough to crumble to poor boy's resolve. The smell of her perfume, the way she was dressed. Hiro pulled Gogo towards him and crashed their lips together in a mad yet simple kiss.
"Happy?"
Hiro looked down to the ground, a bit ashamed at what he just did. The funny thing is that unfortunately, Gogo's plan fired back at her. That was certainly something she didn't expect. All in all, it turned into something that she really enjoyed. Beginning every morning like this? Hell yeah.
"What about a second kiss?" Gogo purred into Hiro's ear to the point she could feel the heat coming from his blush.
"GOD WOMAN!" Hiro squeaked and promptly ran to his station, desperately trying to get away from her.
Deciding to stop her assault at the poor boy, she decided to go back to her station and do some work. Hours went by and yes, using a dress was quite a bit of a pain because she had to be careful of her everyday activities. BUT, she could feel every once and again someone looking at her, and the continuous blush that Hiro sported through the day made it a bit clear who was the one peeping.
This was definitely going better than expected. That was until…
"What did you do?"
Gogo squeaked at the usual cheerful tone on the blonde's voice.
"What do you mean?" Gogo composed herself and returned her attention to the blueprints on her desk.
"I believe you broke him!" Both girls giggled.
"You think?" Gogo turned around, catching Hiro looking at her. Seriously, it was way too adorable. "I feel like I should keep teasing him." Gogo smiled.
"Do you want to kill him?"
"Of course not, the problem is that it's too adorable to let the opportunity pass. Don't you think?"
"I am happy for you Leiko." HL smiled.
"I know, I. Thank you Aiko." Gogo returned the smile and in a sudden need of appreciation, she rushed and embraced the blonde in a tight hug.
Aiko, surprised, couldn't help but laugh at their situation. This was definitely a side that she had never seen from her old friend. After many years together, this was the first time she had seen Leiko in love. Not just a false sense of want but the real thing. She could tell from the hug that Gogo's heart was full of bliss and in a state it had never been before. It was new for her but that didn't mean it was bad.
"Go Leiko, enjoy it as much as you can. You deserve every bit of it." She noticed the silent thanks that came from her lips as she turned around towards the person who was the cause of all this.
JUST ENJOY
Gogo breathed in and out. Her grin out of control as it seemed that Hiro noticed her getting closer to Him.
"So, what are you working on?"
SMASH
Gogo stopped right on her tracks as the door to the lab smacked open. A young man, dressed gallantly stood under it's frame.
"Could someone tell me where can I find Leiko Tanaka?"
