Part 2 of the crazy stuff! To quote a review I just read earlier…gee human monkeys? What could possibly go wrong? …a lot of things XD. The names of the people in these locations have been changed to protect their identities. Disclaimer: I do not own SRMTHFG or any of the actual locations and characters. I also do not own any other animes that will be mentioned in the story. The places that I am about to mention are places that I have visited. I do not live in this city. My real location is classified… Please R&R and enjoy

Chiro stammered as he looked at the members of his team. All around him, the monkeys that he had known for at least three years have been replaced by humans taller than he was. Even though they were still the same monkeys, he felt like he was staring into the faces of complete strangers. The same could be said for Lorraine. Her mouth quivered and her right eye twitched as she watched them all. Now words could escape the two original humans' mouths…except for one phrase from the girl.

"What…the fuck?" Lorraine cursed in shock and managed to get that phrase out.

"Gibson! Otto! You'd better start explaining now before I turn you into scrap metal!" Nova screamed at them and started to advance slowly.

"Wait wait! Nova don't you see?" Gibson put his hands in front of him and tried to reason with her. "This gives us an advantage! If you just think about it, we won't be detected as easily!"

"Gibson is right," the now human Antauri spoke up. Nova looked at the man with long silver hair and stopped. "Now that we have assumed this form, we will be able to adapt to this world more easily."

"And we won't be getting people's attention," Otto added, pointing his finger up and smiling.

"They bring up good points. But I have to say, this is probably the most awesome…and weirdest thing I've ever seen," Lorraine, who had regained her composure, spoke up.

"Lorraine…I'm going to have to agree on that second part," Chiro said. He then eyed all of the monkeys…er…humans around him. "But Antauri, Gibson, and Otto are right. Now that we've seen what these things can do, we don't have to spend the entire time here inside the robot."

"Right," the Earth ambassador nodded. She then thought about another thing that would help the team out.

"Hey, here's another thing that would work. Since Chiro is going to school to learn about Earth, maybe you guys can too!"

"What the!?" Sprx freaked out at that. "Us? Go to school?"

"Uh…" Lorraine lifted an eyebrow up and stared at him as if she were not speaking in English. "Yes…"

"Nuh-uh! No way sister!" the red-head shook his hands in front of him in a 'no' fashion. "There is no way that I am going to school!"

Sprx pointed at himself with his thumb for a second. "This guy and textbooks do not go together!"

"Aw cheer up Sprx! You guys may be able to go to my school!" Chiro reassured them all.

"Hey that's a great idea! We'll be able to stick together!" Otto jumped up and down excitedly.

"Um," Lorraine frowned at that statement and lifted a finger up. "Actually, there may be a problem with that."

"Indeed," the blue human monkey added. All of them turned to the scientist and waited for what he had to say. "When I was doing some test runs on Otto, I specifically made sure that our holographic projections matched our biological ages, not counting the years we spent in suspended animation in the past. Biologically, we should be around fifty years of age, but minus the hibernation years, our appearance stayed at around twenty."

"That's around my age," the Earth girl realized. "Which would mean that you guys would pass as college students."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to attend high school with Chiro," she shook her head apologetically.

"Aw," the mechanic moaned in disappointment.

"Well that stinks," Chiro did the same.

Antauri walked up to the green-haired boy and placed a hand on his shoulder. He then gave him a gentle squeeze. "Do not worry Otto. This is just a minor setback."

"Yeah don't worry about it," Lorraine went again. "Besides, I know the perfect place you guys can go to! It's close to the robot and Chiro's school."

"You do?" Otto wondered.

"Yeah! You guys can go to the University of Cincinnati with me!"

In the back of her mind, Lorraine groaned and wanted to face palm. Now she needs to prepare at least five more applications, this time towards the university she's attending. She's slightly regretting the idea of doing more of those applications. "Great…just when I thought my workload had been lifted."

"A university?" Gibson started. "I've never heard of such a thing!"

"A university is just like high school," the girl started to explain. "Except with a few minor differences. In college, you'll be taking courses that will correspond with your major, which would also help in the long run when you're trying to get the future job you want. The education is much more advanced than courses in high school and is more for people our age. For example…"

Lorraine went over to Otto first, placed her left arm over his shoulder and smirked at him. She was pretty short and had to go on the balls of her feet to do so. "Otto, since you're really good at machinery, you could apply to classes that would fit that field. Mechanical engineering would be a good one!"

"Wow! Cool!" he grinned.

The girl let go of him and did the same to Gibson, slightly surprising him a bit. "Gibson, you're really good in the sciences, especially with chemicals!"

"Yes…that's right," he replied, trying to get where she's going at.

"Well my college offers classes in chemistry, biology, physics, and all sorts of mathematics!"

"Great Scott!" Gibson let out a yelp. "Are you trying to pull my tail?"

"No!" she denied. "It's the truth!"

The scientist's eyes beamed at what she said. "My scientific career…shall be promoted!"

If this were an anime, Gibson's eyes would be upside down semicircles and his mouth would be slightly open. His body would also be surrounded by an aura of yellow and pink, signs of warmness. Actually, Otto was doing the same thing too. Lorraine giggled at what was happening and then stared at the second-in-command in front of her, who kept a straight face.

"Antauri, you're interested in philosophy, history, and psychology right?"

"That's right," he replied.

Lorraine let go of the daydreaming Gibson and stepped forward. "Well UC has those classes too."

He smiled and nodded at that. Nova, who was already calmed down from her previous outburst, watched as three of the monkeys in the team daydreamed themselves attending the classes and succeeding in their courses.

"Lorraine," she got her attention and the girl looked at her. "That's a great idea and all, but not all of us want to go for that. Some of us aren't really that into education."

"Yeah and there's no way I'm going to pick up a pencil," Sprx added to that.

All of the monkeys snapped back into reality when they said that. Chiro on the other hand, had remained quiet during that time as he didn't really have much to say in the matter. He mostly just stayed where he was and watched the situation play out.

Lorraine put a hand on her hip and turned to them. "Well…if you guys aren't into education, then we'll look for alternatives. No worries."

"Maybe they'll find part-time jobs like the characters in Hataraku Maou-Sama," she thought in the back of her mind and giggled at it. "Sprx working at a fast food joint is possible, but I'm not sure Nova would like working in a call center."

Otto lifted his arm up as if he were in a classroom. "Actually," he attracted everyone's attention and they all turned to him. "I kind of changed my mind on going to college. Education's not exactly my thing either."

"Really?" Lorraine lifted an eyebrow at that. "Oh alright then. If you say so."

"Besides," he continued. "Someone's got to stay and keep an eye on the robot. And fix the dimensional transporter."

"Huh, I guess so," she replied and thought about it.

Lorraine went over to the other side across from the human Sprx and Nova and faced them all. "So I guess that just leaves Gibson and Antauri. Are you sure you guys are up to handling this sort of workload?"

Both of them nodded. "Okay then. But there's also a problem with that. The early application deadline passed months ago and the school will only accept new applicants on a space-available basis. By the end of the summer season, all the spots will be filled up until next year!"

"Which would mean that we're running out of time for applications," Gibson concluded with some slight disappointment.

"The new school year starts in two weeks, counting this one, which means we need to find some way to enter you guys into the school system without going through that long wait for your confirmations. Applying online is easy, but tricking the system into accepting you guys will be difficult," Lorraine finished.

"Well…we have two weeks. Antauri, we should get started now," Gibson told him.

"Indeed," he replied, then focused on everyone in the room. "Team, we have already solved two solutions today related to our stranded situation. It has been a long day and we all need rest. We will continue these discussions later."

"Okay," everyone said and all of them proceeded to their transporter tubes, except for Lorraine who chose to remain in the room so that she would work on the college applications

"Gibson, please stay behind. I would like to have a word with you and Lorraine."

The blue-haired boy in the lab coat nodded at that and stood in front of the two other humans. Lorraine wondered why Antauri would want to talk to the both of them, but she pushed that thought aside for the moment and turned around to the leaving Chiro.

"Chiro wait!" the girl cried out to him. Chiro turned around and looked at the Earth denizen.

"What?" he asked.

"Before you go, there are a few things you should know. One, before the school year starts, you, me, and one of the team members will have to make a trip to Soleanna High so that we can finish the application. The main office is closed today so we'll have to do that tomorrow."

"Okay! I'll be ready by then!" he yelled back and waved at her.

"And second!" she yelled, making him stop to turn to her again. "During your stay here, your full name will be Chiro Nieli!"

"Wha!?" he winced and yelped at that name. "What kind of a name is that!?"

"Just deal with it okay? It's already in your 'official' documents!" Lorraine told him.

"Okay! Fine!" he groaned and left the room via his transporter tube.

The girl chuckled in her mind and tried to hide her smile from the others. "Little does he know that I just used the last name of the director of your show…"

When everyone left, Lorraine turned around to face the remaining two human monkeys. After turning, a bright light emitted from them for a second, causing Lorraine to squint. When the light left, Antauri and Gibson returned to their original forms. The silver monkey hopped up and went into his meditative position while Gibson stood across from him, arms over his chest.

"Man, I got to get used to that," Lorraine muttered.

"Alright Antauri. What is it?" Gibson started.

"I have a plan that would solve our 'late application' issue. However, I would need to know how the application process works first."

"It's easy, but a long process," Lorraine explained. "Once you submit your application, the dean of whatever school you're applying to will accept you according to your grades, application, and other documents. Normally, the dean of your major would do that, but in other cases, it can be the dean of the university. Which would be a problem since none of you attended school before. Once reviewed, he will send a premade letter to you saying if you've been accepted or not. The reviewing is that part that takes a few weeks. Why? What's on your mind?"

Antauri thought for a moment then replied. "I have a plan."

"Oh let me guess," the blue monkey smirked. "You're thinking about going to the university, sneaking into the dean's office, and inputting our names and false information into the system through his computer."

The silver monkey smirked as well and closed his eyes. "I knew I would not have to say all of the details."

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!" the girl took a step back and waved her hands in a denying motion, then stopped after four times. "You're thinking about sneaking in at the dead of night and hacking the main system, just to put your names in!?"

"That's right. And I won't be going alone," Antauri answered, staring at the girl and his blue brother.

"Even if you did break into the dean's computer, exactly how are you going to get passed all those passwords?" Lorraine questioned with some sass.

Gibson cleared his throat and looked up at the human, who also looked down at him. "You may not know this Lorraine, but not only am I an expert in the sciences, but I am also an experienced hacker. Breaking into a computer mainframe will not be that difficult."

"Okay…And you're involving me because I know how to get there and I know how their security system works?" Lorraine guessed from the top of her head and looked away from him.

Antauri did not say anything. Instead, he just stared at her with his blue eyes. If she agreed to come along, then their mission would be easier. However, if she refused, they would have a harder time, but the job will get done anyway.

"You do not have to come along Lorraine. I am not forcing you to," Antauri calmly told her.

"Are you kidding me?" The girl smirked at him, which did not really surprise Antauri, considering he kind of saw it coming thanks to his bond with the Power Primate. "Meeting you guys is the best thing that's happened to me all summer! Of course I'll help you guys out!"

Both monkeys looked at each other then back at her. Antauri smiled at that because he pretty much knew she would agree. Gibson was slightly unsure about this because of how successful the mission would be, however, he went along with it.

"So what's the plan?" the scientist asked the second-in-command.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Lorraine, Antauri, and Gibson stepped outside of the robot and into dark of night. The stars were out and the moon was nowhere to be seen, due to the fact that it was the night of a new moon. The air was slightly cooler than before and the wind blew a cool breeze. To Lorraine, the temperature would have to be around the seventies, which did not exactly bother her.

It was dark. The people living in their apartments across the river had their lights on, but did not help with lighting the place. They could hear the water quietly cruising by a ways from them. There was even the occasional cars passing by the playground across the river. Then there were the crickets, chirping away until the last day of the season.

The trio snuck over to the Mazda at the base of the hill. Once they made it, the girl brought out her keys and unlocked the car with the press of a button. The monkeys went in and strapped on the seatbelts in the back. Lorraine remained outside the car and brought out her phone. When she turned her phone on, she noticed that the time was 8:50, which was around the time she told her parents she would get back home. The human searched her contacts and found her home phone. She called it and within seconds of ringing, someone picked up the phone.

"Hey Mom," she started.

"Lorraine! Where are you?" a worried voice erupted. Lorraine slightly pulled the phone away, forgetting that she turned the phone volume up because she was in the city.

"Still in the city. I'm hanging out with my friends," Lorraine told her.

"You're supposed to be home by now!" her mother yelled.

"I know! I know! But it turns out our little get-together got extended by a bit! We're going to watch a movie at the campus theater. I wanted to tell you earlier, but I kind of forgot," the girl lied.

"Lorraine!" the voice yelled again.

"Don't worry! I'll be fine. I'll just be at home late tonight, probably around 11. The movie's about an hour and a half long. And besides, summer's almost over and I really want to enjoy this night with them."

A minute passed and the woman on the phone let out a sigh. "Oh alright. You can go."

Lorraine beamed at that, thankful that her parents wouldn't go looking for her or anything. "But call us as soon as the movie is over."

"Great! Thanks Mom!"

Lorraine pulled the phone away and pressed the 'end call' button. The call screen disappeared and she turned the phone off. For safety measures, she placed it on silent and put it in airplane mode. She then put her phone away into her purse and opened her car door. Before going in, she thought about whatever item she left in the Super Robot, then remembered that she took her laptop and returned it to her bag in the trunk a few minutes ago. She also remembered placing Gibson's bag (Lorraine had a spare backpack in her trunk and lent it to him), which was full of a few gadgets that would help them out, into the trunk. Lorraine sat down in the driver's seat and closed the door.

"You know lying to someone is very unwise," Antauri spoke up in a lecture tone.

"I know," Lorraine replied, buckling her seatbelt and placing her hands on the wheel. She then looked at the rearview mirror at the two monkeys sitting by the windows.

"But we're doing the same thing on this mission too. And it's for a good cause."

She then chuckled after that. "Plus, you guys are using Maizono as your last name," she said, remembering that one episode that featured the origins of the Super Robot.

The silver monkey did not reply to that and watched out the window. Lorraine started the car and backed up with ease. Once facing down the hill, she drove along the path leading back to the main roads.

It only took them about fifteen minutes before they reached the Clifton area. The night was alive with people hanging both outside and inside the various shops and restaurants. The traffic was somewhat packed, considering that it was a perfect summer night to hang out. The cars were everywhere and large groups of college kids walked from one block to another. Thankfully, because it was night and the monkeys were short, no one took notice of them.

Lorraine rounded a corner away from the main part of the street and turned to another zone. This time, it was at the other side of that other street and was the one closest to the southern part of the campus. Lorraine found a clear spot closest to one of the many residence halls and parked at the more secluded area in the back. Once she turned off the car, she looked all around from where she was then looked back at her passengers.

"No one's around. Go for it," she nodded at them.

The two monkeys brought their left arm up and positioned it in front of them. Like before, they pressed the two buttons on the morphers. A light flashed for a few seconds and Lorraine had to look away. Once the light went away, a man with long silver hair and a boy with blue hair and glasses replaced the monkeys' places. All of them unbuckled their seatbelts and closed the doors.

"Which part of the university is this?" Antauri asked the girl.

Lorraine locked the car and went up next to them. "This is what I would call the performing arts area. Right in front of us is the music hall, where students would study the performing arts and perform themselves."

"Interesting," the silver-haired man replied. "I would like to visit more of this area sometime."

"As would I," Gibson seconded.

"We will soon," Lorraine promised them. "But right now, our main priority is to get you guys into the system. And in order to do that..."

The girl pointed towards the western direction. Over there were a few more 3-level buildings, two of which were just next to the street. The hill they went down earlier was a little steep and they imagined the effort to run up it would be a little tiring. Luckily, it wasn't that far of a run to the building at the top.

"We need to run up there, turn right, turn right again after we pass that library, and keep going until we get to the University Pavilion. That's where the university president's office is."

"University President?" the scientist spoke up. "I thought we were going to sneak in to the dean's office.

"Well," Lorraine scratched the back of her head at that. "We are. The main dean is also the president of the entire university."

"Ah okay," Gibson understood.

With that cleared, the trio ran up the hill and proceeded on towards the University Pavilion. They passed three buildings before they rounded a corner and reached the building they wanted. Like the other buildings around them, the lights were out. The only building that was still open was the main hangout center in the northern part of the commons behind them. Thankfully, no one was around.

They reached the eastern entrance and Lorraine tried to open it. Of course, it was locked and she expected it. She looked over to Gibson, who was at her left and saw him place his backpack down. He unzipped the back pocket and rummaged through the contents.

"Once this door is opened, the alarm system will go off," the girl mentioned while eyeing the security panel next to the front desk inside.

"Don't worry, I've got it," Gibson said as he got back up.

In the scientist's hand was a peculiar remote with a large screen. The remote was large, silver and looked like a cross between a universal remote and Blackberry. The buttons lit up in multiple colors once he turned it on. Gibson pressed a few buttons and aimed it at the security panel inside. When he did, the remote let out some quiet beeps and ended with three dings. The red light on the panel inside immediately switched to green.

"Security's been deactivated. Your turn Antauri."

The man on Lorraine's right closed his eyes and lifted a hand up. An unexplained humming sounded from him and the locks on the doors clicked. Once they did, he opened his eyes and lowered his hand.

"Everyone inside," was all he said.

Lorraine opened one of the double doors and all entered the pavilion. The doors behind them quietly closed and all were standing in darkness, save for the lights from that other building and the light from Gibson's remote. Since the security cameras had been deactivated, Antauri and Gibson reverted back into their monkey forms.

"The president's office is room 625, just about three floors above us," she explained.

All of them took notice of the glass stairs close by and ran up. Once they reached the next floor, they found another set of stairs close to another operations desk and went up it. The trio ran up two more floors until they reached floor six. The hallway had offices on each side, the doors being right across from each other. The floor was carpeted in a dark grey and the hall ended with a right turn, towards the next part of the building.

The trio ran through that floor until they found room 625, the president's office. The door was locked and Antauri used his powers to unlock it. Lorraine opened it and all stepped inside the large office. It was definitely huge; the desk took a fraction of the space and was clear of all forms and other papers. It was nice too, since it had a nice dark brown hue, most likely mahogany. The large window showed Mcmicken commons, the area they were at earlier, and the blinds were down but not closed. There were two chairs placed in front of the desk where the dean's guests would sit.

"Wow…" was all Lorraine could say. She closed the white-painted door with the president's label behind her.

They went over to the desk and stood around one corner, where the computer was. Gibson hopped up and sat in the office chair while Lorraine and Antauri stood around him. Like the computer whiz he claimed to be, he switched the computer on, plugged another one of his inventions, this time a smaller remote with a wider screen, and easily got passed the login screen. All of them watched silently as he hacked into the system and made it into the student listing. Good thing Gibson and Antauri applied before they left otherwise this would have taken a really long time. It didn't take Gibson very long to find their names in the recently applied listing.

"Okay Gibson," the girl started, breaking the silence. "What major do you want to go for?"

"Oh let's see…" he muttered. "There's so many sciences I could go for…"

"Just pick one. Mostly the one that defines you the most," Lorraine told him.

Gibson let out a sigh. "Oh very well. Chemistry then."

The team's scientist typed away and his name appeared under the Chemistry majors section. Lorraine then looked over at Antauri, who was still staring up at the screen from where he was.

"Okay Antauri, what would you like your major to be?" she asked him.

The silver monkey turned to her and answered.

"I suppose I should be placed under psychology, since I admire topics about the mind."

"Alright," Gibson said as he typed away at the screen. Like before, he easily put Antauri's name under the Psychology section. He then closed all of his windows, erased any history showing the recent activity, and turned off the computer.

"And there we go," he said, turning the chair towards Antauri. "Mission accomplished."

"Great," Lorraine lifted a fist up in satisfaction. "Let's get out of here."

The two monkeys used their morphers to revert to their human forms. Lorraine looked away again from the bright lights and the two humans from before appeared again. They ran out of the office, which Antauri locked with his powers, proceeded down the stairs, and ran out of the main doors. Once they did, Gibson turned, took out the remote he used earlier, and reactivated the security system. Antauri also locked the doors too.

The trio made a beeline for the car and were panting once they were inside. Lorraine turned her car on and drove away from the area. No one talked for the rest of the ride as they were tired from the mission.

And there you go! Chapter 5 is done! Things are really going their way…for now. And thumbs up for Mission Impossible! What else is going to come the Monkey Team's and Lorraine's way? Will Sprx, Nova, and Otto ever figure out what their alternatives other than going to school would be? Find out next time on SRMTHFG: Far From Home. Stay tuned for Chapter 6
