(OK from this chapter on in this story #Is speaking Japanese.# Strait forwards enough? I hope so. Enjoy & please review I love them but hardly get any.)

"Where to?"
"Well you want to see how convincing you can be?"
"Um…ah…I guess."
"And you said you are working on your Japanese for the trip right?"
"Yeah…Debbie…no."
"Aww come on hun it will be fun."
"If I make a fool of myself."
"You won't just take your time & talk slow."
"No talking in Japanese is slow."
"You will be fine."
Jade rolled her eye putting in the address for Morimoto's in her GPS taking off for Chestnut street. Reaching the right area she shut the GPS off looking for a parking lot. Finding an open one Jade pulled into spot & paid the attendant before heading for the restaurant. As they walked down the block Debbie hooked her arm around 'Japser's'. Walking into the restaurant it was busy as Jade had expected.

The hostess greeted them asking if she can be of help. Jade continued to look nervous but gave the voice a try. "Table for two please."
"Of course sir."
"May I make an odd request." Spoke up Debbie.
"What may that be?" Asked the hostess.
"My…brother is leaving on business soon & would really like to try out his Japanese. Do you have any waiters fluent in it?"
"Of course, most of our staff knows a decent amount because of Chef Morimoto himself." She turned continuing to lead them to a table. They took a seat & a minute later a man came over looking at them. #You asked for me to speak Japanese?#
Jade looked at the man then nodded taking a deep breath. #Yes thank you. If it sound like I misspeak something please tell me so.#
#Of course sir. May I start you both off with a drink.#
#Just water for me.# "Debbie do you wish a drink?"
"Sake & a glass of water."
#Very good be right back with both.#
The Waiter turned leaving. "Very nicely done so far Jasper."
The waiter came back with the two glasses of water as well as a small clay container with the warmed Sake in it. #Have you deiced your entrees yet?#
#Yes I will have the Rock shrimp tempura & my sister will have the…# Jade rubbed her head a moment.
#What word do you not know?#
"Seared?"
#The Seared Scallops?#
#Yes#
#I will place the order right away.#
Jade rubbed her head again sipping her water.
"Jasper you are doing just fine."
"Thanks I know it's good practice."
"Exactly. Now just enjoy the night."

The waiter brought the food & they enjoyed rest of the night before Jade had to drive Debbie back to the shop to get her own car. Jade told her she will stop back tomorrow to pay for her order & pick everything up. She felt odd getting back to her parents place still looking like Jasper. Luckily she made it up to her room without being spotted & got changed to turn in early for the night.

Jade got up the next day making breakfast for her parents when her dad came down giving her a quickly hug.
"Go sit dad I'll bring it over."
"OK dear." He went to kiss her cheek then stopped. "What is on your face?"
"My face?"
"Yeah you got something right here." He motioned on his own face under the middle of the lip her eyes almost went wide. "Jade you need to tell us something?"
"Tell us what?" Her mom asked as Jade quickly turned to flip the pancakes.
"Just why it looks like her hormone shots are getting to strong." Her father almost laughed.
Jade gave a sigh biting her lip. "Debbie wanted me to try to see if I could pass for a guy without needing the mask." Jade started pouring the next batch of pancakes. "I was tired when I got in last night & forgot part of that was make-up including a soul patch facial hair. Darn it…dad you still have you Halloween kit around?"
"Well it's March, but it should be in the bottom of the coat closet why?"
"She used spirit gum as I said I forgot."
"Oh, yeah I should have remover in there." Jade finished cooking & shut the stove before looking for the kit. Finding it she set it on the dining room table opening it going through all of her father's theatrical make up finding the removing.

Of course by that point the spirit gum was already pretty much breaking down & she could flake about 80% of it off with out it. She just used the remover to take off the rest. Once done she went to go eat with her parents.
"Would you guys mind if I dyed my hair?"
"Why would we mind? You're an adult Jade hun, plus you did before remember?" Answered her dad.
"Yeah I remember."
"Then of course not."
"What's your plans for today?" asked her mom.
"Well I need to go back to Debbie to finish a few things. Then I need to head for the waterfront & got to Masquerade. I need some costume contacts, plus the stuff to duplicate that hair."
"You really think you can pass yourself as a guy?"
"Well Debbie dragged me to dinner." Jade sat a few moments making a few sounds with her mouth working her voice again. "And as far as we can tell no one gave us a second look. Well maybe Debbie she is a blasted Amazon.

"Impressive but you think you can keep that up?"
"I don't know I did for quite a few hours last night. I even spoke Japanese with the voice."
"Told you baby girl you should of stuck with theatrics instead of pursuing wrestling."
"Dad don't start I am still also doing a lot with Aphrodite. Which is the other reason for my trip I am checking out some artist."
"Well good luck hopefully I will be seeing my daughter after work?"
She laughed before speaking normal again.
"Yes dad I just goofed on the make up is all." She got up giving him a hug before he headed off for work. Jade cleaned up breakfast before getting dressed to go out. She went to Debbie's first paying for both orders which everything was packed up. She then hit the costume place getting hound blue/grey contacts & also black out contacts that she would wear in the ring. Getting home she made sure as she packed she had everything she needed.

The next day she dressed as 'Jasper' in the morning & went out in the one outfit she had knowing she had to look for more clothing. She was a nervous wreck doing this by herself, but it wasn't like she would have someone to hold her hand once she was in Japan. The odd thing was when she went through one of her bags she found one of the sales girls phone number. My god to I put out some sort of fuck me pheromone or something? She shivered as she got out of the Jasper mode & back to herself packing everything up. She spoke to Randy a few times before her trip. Then finally the day arrived.

She was on the plane on her way over to Japan her hands were shaking & had a hard time staying still her foot kept bouncing. Landing she got to the hotel & just crashed in the tiny room just needing sleep before her artist appointments the next day. She knew if she got the job with AJP she would need to find an apartment either in Tokyo or Osaka. Of course most places around the hotel spoke English since they were used to the tourist. She then went to her artist meetings the next day & with them she could see a few struggled with English being older individuals. Their faces brightened when she started speaking in Japanese. A few times she did need to ask them to slow down a bit which they did not mind. She had a feeling with one maybe two her learning their language helped seal the deals.

She rested till the night before her meeting with Mutoh. She checked out a hair salon near by inquiring about hair colors. She had a small swatch of the red crepe hair she bought taking it with her. They had no problem matching it up & dying her hair to match it. She took the stylist card making note that even if she got an apartment somewhere else she was planning on coming back. Getting back to her room she started to make herself up as Jasper finishing with the hound eyes & soul patch red hair. She looked herself in the mirror before heading out in jeans & black tee with sneakers.

To her delight the night seemed to go well. She grabbed dinner before heading back to her room. Calling it an early night she set her alarm to make sure she would have enough time to get ready in the morning before her meeting. She laughed at her self that is took Jasper longer to get ready then it did Jade.
