(Hi guys. Welcome to my next chapter. This one's featuring Dustin's birthday this time. Just as Negi had enjoyed his birthday thanks to all the effort the girls and Dustin put into it. This time Negi will make sure Dustin enjoys his.)
It was one morning, at the girl's dorm. In the room of Mana, Zazie, and Dustin, the boy spirit warrior who was sharing Zazie's bunk was the first to awake. He got out of bed and walked past the calendar. Suddenly he dashed back over to it and saw today was marked with a birthday cake symbol.
"It's my birthday! Yes!" he cheered and started rushing around grabbing some clothes and getting ready. When he went into the bathroom, Mana, Zazie, Zyphon, and Domino looked at each other.
"Guess he checked the calendar." Domino joked.
"He has been the last week." Zyphon reminded the bird as the girls smiled seeing Dustin step out of the bathroom properly dressed in his casual wear.
"Oh what a glorious morning!" Dustin declared in joy.
"Happy birthday." Zazie greeted him.
"Happy birthday, Dustin." Mana added.
"Many happy returns, master." Zyphon put in.
"And hope you have many happy more." Domino finished.
"Thanks you guys," Dustin thanked them, "I want today to be fabulous, and I know exactly how I want to spend it."
"How?" Mana asked.
"I want you and Zazie to join me for a day out." The spike head answered.
"Both of us?" Zazie raised a brow.
"Of course. You two are very special to me as not only my partners for housing me here in your dorm room all these months." He explained.
The two smiled and nodded, "You bring up a good point." Mana nodded.
"So then will you?" Dustin asked hopefully.
They nodded as Zazie answered, "We will."
Dustin's eyes brightened up, "Yes! Zyphon be sure to tell Negi and the others I'll be out today and probably won't be back until later on."
"Yes, sir." Zyphon saluted.
"Now you girls go freshen up." Dustin said as they did so.
"You're truly excited about this, Dustin." Domino noted.
"Of course, I'm spending my birthday with two gorgeous girls today," He reminded his familiar, "But it's going to be even better." He held up a red pill.
After Mana and Zazie freshened up, they stepped out of the bathroom in casual wear. When they looked over they saw Dustin had transformed into his teenage alter ego Duncan Bowers, "Dustin?" Zazie asked.
"It's Duncan, Zazie. Remember?"
"Why did you age yourself up?" Mana asked.
"Well I felt like spending the day out with you girls as a teen," he explained, "You don't mind do you?"
"Not at all." Mana admitted.
"Well girls let's go." Duncan said as he and his two ladies left the dorm so that none of the other girls would notice him.
When they left the dorm, Zyphon and Domino went to Negi and Kaede's room and knocked on the door. Negi and Kaede open it seeing the two, "Yes?" Negi asked.
"Dustin's gone, which means it's time we put our own party together for him." Domino smirked.
"Good, alright Kaede, round up the girls." Negi instructed.
"Will do." Kaede nodded and started going from dorm room to dorm room.
Meanwhile out in Mahora's city, Duncan, Mana, and Zazie were walking around enjoying the nice weather, "Beautiful day isn't it?" Duncan asked the two.
"Gorgeous." Zazie answered.
"Yeah," Mana nodded, "So, Duncan what do you want to do first?"
Duncan looked around until he spotted the movie theater and one of the poster's hanging up, "Whoa! Kyobashin the movie! I've been waiting to see that? What do you say girls?"
"Well it's your birthday." Mana reminded him.
"We go where you go." Zazie added.
"Well alright then." Duncan reached for his wallet only for Mana top stop him.
"Hold it, this one's gonna be on us."
"Huh? You paying?" Duncan asked curiously.
"Yeah. I may be cheap at times, but for someone I care about I'd be happy to pay for." The gunslinger explained making Duncan smile.
Soon the three got their tickets and went to the concession stand where they got a large bucket of popcorn and three large soft drinks. They picked out their seats in the theater with Duncan in the center, Mana on his right, and Zazie on his left. Soon the movie began as they watched all the action and fighting done by the movie's protagonist Kyobashin.
As Duncan enjoyed watching the movie he thought to himself, 'I'm on a date with two gorgeous girls on my birthday. Could this get any better?' he thought until he started hearing loud laughter coming from behind them.
"Hey how about some tongue action!" a teen boy asked loudly while the movie was playing a romantic scene.
"Yeah stick your tongue down his throat!" another teen boy laughed loudly as they started kicking the back of their seats.
Duncan, Mana, and Zazie frowned as Zazie looked at them, "Should we move?"
"No need," Duncan answered as he got up and turned around facing the two teens and leaned over before shouting, "SHUT YOUR TRAPS AND STOP KICKING THE SEATS!" his outburst got the two scared as Duncan glared daggers at them, "WE'RE TRYING TO WATCH THE MOVIE! AND IF I HAVE TO TELL EITHER OF YOU TWO AGAIN WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT OUTSIDE, AND I'M GONNA SHOW YOU A THING OR TWO! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? Now shut your mouths or I'll shut them for you. And if you think I'm joking, just try me. Just try me. BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE IT! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!"
The two teens nodded in fright as they sat down cowering. The rest of the movie goers applauded on Duncan's handling of the situation as he nodded to everyone before taking his seat again to enjoy it with his girls, "See? No trouble at all." He said calmly.
Back at Mahora, the girls were once again putting together a party for Dustin in the school cafeteria, the same way they did for Negi. This time however Kotaro and Fate were also assisting the girls in the preparations.
"Looking good, everyone." Zyphon said as he watched the Library girls make a banner.
Negi meanwhile was blowing up balloons with, Kotaro, Cocone, Rin, and Fate, "Here's another one." He tied up a balloon and handed it off to Kaede.
"This is taking way too long." Kotaro said as he took breaths from so much blowing.
"Oh stop complaining, Kotaro. We don't have a lot left to blow up." Rin said.
"We'd be finished by now if you weren't flapping your gums." Fate added.
"Hey, are you saying I talk a lot?" Kotaro asked in irritation.
"Like a parrot." Fate answered calmly as he wasn't even making eye contact with the wolf boy.
"Why you snarky little!" Kotaro was ready to deck Fate until Ayaka called.
"Kotaro! This is no time for you to be squabbling when there's work to be done!"
"Well he started it!" Kotaro blamed Fate who still ignored him.
"I don't care who started it because I'll finish it. Now get back to work!" Ayaka argued.
"You really are bossy, Ayaka-neesan." Kotaro got into her face as they two glared at each other until Chizuru appeared with her shadow looming over the two. They looked at her with nervous looks as the buxom girl spoke.
"Now you two, let's not fight. After all this is Dustin-kun's birthday and the last thing he needs is to see two of his own friends fighting." She said with one of her intimidating smiles as the two nervously nodded while sweating.
"Hai, Chizu-nee." Kotaro replied.
"We're sorry." Ayaka added.
"As long as you two understand." Chizuru nodded and went back to helping Natsumi with some more decorations.
"That sure shut them up." Eva said as she walked by with Chachamaru who nodded to herself.
Zyphon came into the cafeteria, "Master Negi! Master Negi! Master Negi!"
"What is it Zyphon?" Negi asked.
"I've just been informed the other guests have arrived." Zyphon explained putting a smile on the boys face.
"Wonderful!"
"Maybe they can make the job go by faster." Kotaro muttered under his breath.
Back with the birthday boy, or teen given the state of things. Him and his two lovely ladies had decided to rest at a hotsprings. Lucky for Duncan the place was empty and was enjoying himself while resting his arms on the ledge as his body soaked in the relaxing natural heated water.
"Mmm, this is perfect," he stretched his arms up, "I seriously love these things."
"Room for more?"
Duncan looked up and saw Mana and Zazie standing above him with their bodies wrapped in towels. Another reason why he was also happy about the springs was that this one had mixed bathing, 'Dammit that is hot.' He thought with dirty feelings.
"How's the water?" Zazie asked.
Duncan shook off his thoughts, "It's great girls. Come on in."
Taking his word, Mana and Zazie scooted themselves into the bath, "Mm, this is great." Mana agreed with Duncan.
"I'm glad we could do this girls, I mean granted we do this every night." Duncan said.
"Yeah, still it's nice going out to do this kind of stuff now and then." Mana admitted.
"Agreed." Zazie added.
The girls relaxed at Duncan's sides as he gazed at the two with a blush forming on his face. Mana noticing his gazing spoke, "Something wrong Dustin?"
"You're all red." Zazie added noticing it too.
"It's the heat." Duncan covered.
"Nice try, but that's overly used." Mana replied seeing through his lie.
Duncan saw the two leaned over wondering what was up until he spoke, "Ok. The thing is the more I look at the both of you, the more I feel compelled to do something my teenage body desperately needs to do."
The two dark skinned girls looked at each other realizing what Duncan, and smiled, "I see. Well then." Mana began as she and Zazie got up and stood before him. He watched as the two loosened up their towels before opening them up exposing their naked bodies to him.
Upon doing so, Duncan hadn't undergone his trademark nosbleeds when surprised with arrousing views such as what they did. Mana smirked seeing because of his new teen hormones he was able to handle the arrousing situation.
Mana and Zazie kneeled down into the water and on Duncan's legs with his right one in between Mana's legs and his left in between Zazie's legs. The teen boy panted as he felt both girls rest on top of his legs.
"You mean you feel compeled to do something like this?" Mana asked as she took Duncan's hand and planted it on her right breast making his blush increase ten fold.
"Mana!" he gasped at her boldness even though his teen body's hormones was making him enjoy the sensation.
"I'll take that as a yes." Mana smiled amusingly.
"Me, too." Zazie said taking Duncan's other hand and planted it on her left breast.
"Zaz!"
"Now Dustin, remember the tutorial I gave you last time?" Mana asked.
"Yeah."
"Well think of this as another tutorial, only this time Zazie's with us." She explained as Duncan looked over at Zazie who smiled at him.
"You really want this?" Duncan asked as he enjoyed the feeling of the breasts pressed into his palms.
"Only if it's you, Dustin." Zazie answered as Mana nodded in agreement.
Duncan unable to resist any longer went on his teenage isntincts and started massaging the breasts he had in his palms. As he did so both Mana and Zazie moaned from his touch. Mana spoke through her moan, "That's it, Dustin. Nice and gentle just as I taught you."
"Even though this age is fake, the feelings I'm felling because of this are real enough for me."
"What're you feeling?" Zazie asked through her own moan.
"I feel like I love you girls even more than I do at my regular age." He admitted.
The girls smiled as Mana put her hand on his cheek luring him closer to her face, "Well you know what? Both Zazie and I love you more than you do to us." She finished by planting her lips on his which he accepted still keeping his one hand on her breast.
As he continued kissing Mana, Zazie leaned in and started kissing his neck which send shivers all over his body. Suddenly Duncan and Mana's lips parted as Dustin turned to Zazie and started lip smacking with her, while Mana started kissing his neck. They continued to do the same routine until it was time for them to get out.
It was close to the end of the day, and the three were walking back to Mahora. Duncan decided to end his teen look and became Dustin again. After slipping into his right sized clothes the three continued onward until reaching Mahora.
"Well girls, what's say we grab us some dinner?" Dustin asked as he pulled the doors of the cafeteria open to see it was dark, "What the hey? What's with the lights?"
Mana flicked the light switch. When the lights were turned on, party poppers were popping and noisemakers were honking. Inside the cafeteria was all of class 3A, Negi, Kotaro, Fate, Zyphon, Takahata, Shizuna, Dean Konoe, Domino and Chamo wearing small party hats. Hanging from the ceiling was a banner reading 'Happy Birthday Dustin-sensei/kun!'
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUSTIN/KUN/SENSEI!"
Dustin was wide eyed as he removed his sunglasses, while Mana and Zazie smiled seeing his reaction proved he was surprised.
"Wow, girls you put a party together for me?" Dustin asked.
"Well duh, I mean we gave one for Negi-kun. It's only right we give one to you as well, Dustin-kun." Yuna said.
"Oh wow this is so great! Thanks everyone." Dustin said in joy.
"Well we didn't do it alone." Negi answered.
"We had some help." Rin added.
"By who?" Dustin asked.
"By us, Duster." A familiar male voice said.
Dustin looked to the side and to his surprise saw his father, Master Darius, Elroy, Jehtro, Jade, Aria, Burai, Alicia, and Alice. In the twins hands were McTwisp and Salem wearing little party hats like Chamo and Domino.
"Guys!" Dustin called as he ran over to them, hugging his father and master. He fist bumped and slapped some skin with his male pals and hugged the four girls, "When'd you get here?"
"This morning, actually." Burai answered.
"We came here as soon as we could to help everyone decorate." Aria added.
"Oh thanks guys. Seeing you all here means so much to me."
"Like we'd ever miss your birthday." Alicia said.
"Yes, your birthdays have always been fun." Alice added.
"Especially with this whole class attending it." Aria motioned to the class of girls.
"You can say that again." Elroy chuckled.
Dustin smiled until a thought popped into his head, "There was no large package delivered here with you was there?"
"No, not at all." Ross confirmed.
"Oh thank God." Dustin sighed in sweet relief.
"Why something wrong?" Kasuga asked.
"Let's just say Dustin once had a traumatic birthday two years ago." Jade said with a chuckle.
"How traumatic?" Setsuna asked.
"It's like this." Alicia began.
Two years ago, Dustin was having a birthday party with all his friends from New York. It was present time and he saw a big box was being dragged over to him, "Wow who's this from?" Younger Dustin asked.
"It's so big." Jethro gasped.
"Wonder what it is." Alice wondered.
"Maybe it's a go-cart." Dustin said excitedly as he unsealed the box. When he did, to his ultimate horror saw the psycho hosebeast trinity pop out of the box.
"Happy birthday, Dusty-kins!" they three cheered. Dustin in response screamed in loud traumatic terror as the flashback faded back to the present time.
Elroy was chuckling, "He screamed so loud the force pushed the three backwards."
"That was the worst birthday I ever had!" Dustin grumbled from being humiliated.
"Well don't worry there aren't any giant boxes containing those three here." Aria assured him.
"And let's kepe it that way." Dustin said.
"Actually, though we should tell you there almost was." Alicia said grabbing his attention.
"What?"
"We did happen to find out the three were planning to mail themselves to here with us." Alice said.
"THEY WHAT?!" Dustin asked in outrage.
"Don't worry, I took care of it," Aria began, "I had Ralph and Dean change the course of their flight all the way to Iceland."
"Iceland?" Dustin and Negi asked.
Meanwhile in said place, a large box had been tossed into storage for not being picked up by any passengers.
"Girls, I'm getting cramped in here." Suzy groaned.
"Keep it together, Suzy. We'll be at Mahora soon," Janie assured, "Wait, you smell something?"
"Do I? Ugh, what is that… Rhonda?" Suzy asked.
"Whoops, that was me." Rhonda said sheepishly.
The girls screamed before bursting out of the box, "Hey what is this place?" Janie asked as they exited the storage room and saw the airport, "Girls, I don't think this is Japan." Rhonda said.
"WHERE ARE WE?!" Janie and Suzy screamed.
Back in Mahora, Dustin chuckled, "I'm gonna send Ralph and Dean a nice gift basket."
"You're not planning to leave them there are you?" Negi asked in worry.
"Not to worry. I already have a plane heading for Iceland now to pick the three up and bring them back to New York." Darius explained.
"Bummer." Dustin sighed wanting them to stay there.
"Hey come on enough of this lollygagging, let' party!" Kotaro called as the girls cheered in response.
Soon it was on with the festivities with snacks, games, music, even the guys getting to know Cocone, Kotaro, and Fate. Alicia had gotten along with Cocone very well given their stoic demenor, while Elroy was able to relate with Kotaro having been the martial arts guy.
Later, Dustinw as sitting in the guest of honor's seat as everyone was ready to give him his birthday gifts, "Ok, girls. Same as last time. Start by student number." Negi instructed as Sayow ent first.
"Happy birthday, Dustin-kun." Sayo said presenting him her gift.
"Thanks, Sayo," Dustin said as he opened the gift seeing it was a book with monsters on it, "Wow! Monster Guide 2.0. The latest volume on monsters and demons and how to deal with them. Arigato, Sayo."
"You're welcome. Kazumi helped me pick it out for you." Sayo smiled.
Up next was Yuna, who was grinning, "Here ya go, Dustin-kun. Happy birthday."
Dustin opened the gift revealing to be a basketball uniform like the ones the Mahora B-ball players wear. Labled on the front was Number 1 Coach.
"Yuna, wow." Dustin gasped.
"The girls on my team helped me put it together. We're all still glad for what you did to help us win the championship, Dustin-kun." She admitted.
"Well, next game I'll be sure to wear it." Dustin assured.
"For you, Dustin-kun." Kazumi presented him her gift.

"I knew you'd like it." Kazumi smiled.
Yue approached and gave Dustin his gift, "Here ya go, sensei."
Dustin opened up and saw it was a six pack of unmarked bottled cola, "Yue, what's this?"
"I've been doing a lot of experimentation on my drinks and all, I think this soda may prove to be your ideal drink." Yue explained.
"Well, only one way to find out." Dustin said taking one of the bottles and popped the cap off, "Bottoms up." He took a drink from it as the class watched in anticipation considering he was drinking something Yue had made.
"Well, sensei?" Yue asked.
Dustin turned to Yue and smiled, "This has to be the best self made soda I've ever had."
"WHAT?!" the girls gasped.
"You mean it?" the stoic girl asked.
"I mean it." Dustin nodded.
Dustin received his gift from Ako, being two book ends featuring Batman as one of the ends and Joker as the other end, "Neat book ends, Ako. And just my fave hero."

The girls were surprised to as Setsuna explained, "This sword has been in the Sakurazaki family for three hundred years. It was crafted by the master Daichi Kuwahara in the 16th century. It is said in the forging…"
Dustin suddenly finished for her, "Kuwahara folded the metal over seven hudnred times to remove any impurities."
"Yes, you really know your legends," Setsuna replied, "I wish for you to keep it."
"Setsuna, I don't know what to say. Arigato." He pulled Setsuna into an embrace. The kendo girl was at first surprised by smiled and returned the gesture.

Suddenly Sakurako, Madoka, Kakizaki, and Ako went up on the stage with their instruments, "Here's a little treat for Dustin-kun. Courtesy of us, Dekopin Rocket!" Sakurako spoke into the mike.
So the girls started playing a slow tune which Dustin already started recognizing and a smile formed on his face as Kakizaki started singing his fave Ellie G. song.
When they finished the group applauded, especially Dustin, "All right Dekopin Rocket! You girls are the bomb!"
The girls giggled as they went back to join everyone until Zyphon, Chao, and Satsuki wheeled out the cake, "Here you go, Dustin-sensei." Satsuki said.
"Wow, it looks delicious." Dustin salivated over the cake.
"I'll say." Jade added.
Soon everyone gathered around as the birthday cake was placed in front of Dustin. After the birthday song, Dustin made a wish and blew out his candles with everyone clapping.
After the party everyone was clearing out with Dustin, Negi, their partners, and Dustin's friends were sticking behind as Sakurako spoke to Dustin, "Alright, Dustin-kun. It's time for the second part of your gifts."
Dustin realizing was this meant smiled, "Bring it on girls."
"I'll be first." Mana said as she wrapped her hands around Dustin's head and pulled him into a kiss. Following her was Zazie, Yuna, Kazumi, Chizuru, Chao, Sakurako, Madoka, Fumika, Setsuna, Kasgua, and Cocone.
"Thanks, girls. That was awesome." Dustin said as he smiled from the kisses.
"There's still more." Aria said as she spun him to face her and pulled him into a kiss.
When they parted Dustin blushed some more, "Wow. Thanks Aria."
"You're welcome." She smiled.
"Our turn." Alicia said as she and Alice approached with each of them giving Dustin a kiss.
"Best birthday ever." He smiled and they all chuckled.
