Sailor Moon Monthly Fanfiction Challenge - Day 24
“You’ve got to be kidding me! You can’t get two teenaged girls to stop playing a game and do their homework?”
“If you think you can do better, be my guest.” Zoi shrugged as he plopped down on the couch as Jade rolled his eyes and went into the room from which the loud music was emanating. “Good luck!”
“It’s obvious that you’re the Uncle that spoils all the kids in the future, Zoi.” Neph raised his hands before the younger man could protest. “Someone has to do that, and I doubt you spoil any of your own children, but if Usa is any indication then you’re the spoiling uncle.”
He sighed as he leaned back on the couch, “Good thing the future’s not set in stone. I wonder if Ami’s completely opposed to corporal punishment?”
Kunz raised an eyebrow, “That’s a bit barbaric, isn’t it?”
“Well since I don’t exude authority, my attempt at intimidating is apparently funny.”
Neph could not help it, he let out the guffaw of laughter. When he finished and saw how much Zoi was scowling at him, he shrugged, “You’re too pretty to pull off intimidating, Zoi. You should try another tactic.”
“Hmph!”
Before Neph and Kunz could tease Zoi further, Jade came out of the room with the music still blaring.
"If I stay in there, I’m going to hurt them.” He answered the unspoken question the three other men turned on him. “I don’t want to have to explain to Mamoru that I hit his future daughter, and I don’t need Rei that angry…”
He sighed and slumped beside Zoi on the couch. “My apologies. I had no idea what you were up against.”
Neph shrugged and headed into the room. The other men were quiet, deciding that the situation was apparently more serious than any of them had considered before. When the music stopped, and Kunz allowed himself a small smile, satisfied that Neph had taken care of the situation and the girls would now be doing their homework.
The Second of the Shitennou came out of the room, smirking. He looked over to the younger two with a smile of triumph. “You just need to know how to talk to them.” He held up the power strip. “Or how to go beyond talking.”
Before anyone could congratulate him though, the music started once again.
Zoi snorted, “Apparently, they had a back up.”
Jade sighed, “How do Haruka and Michiru do this? We’re four men and we can’t get two teenaged girls to do their homework? How are we supposed to help run the world?!”
Kunz shook his head and headed into the room. He was only in there a moment before Chibi Usa came out sheepishly with her school books and moved over to the kitchen table to start on her homework.
Kunz emerged from the room, his arms crossed.
Zoi got up and ran to peek into the room, and there, amidst all the lamps was Hotaru, quietly doing her homework. He looked back at the two and then to Kunz with new found respect.
“Usa? What exactly did Kunz say?”
The Senshi from the future looked up, “Uncle Kunz didn’t say anything, Uncle Neph. He just raised an eyebrow and looked at us. We had to surrender.”
Jade groaned, Neph clenched his jaw, Kunz smirked, and Zoi sighed, “He raised an eyebrow… You know what, I think I’m ok with the being the Uncle who spoils if he’s so effective at discipline.”
“If you think you can do better, be my guest.” Zoi shrugged as he plopped down on the couch as Jade rolled his eyes and went into the room from which the loud music was emanating. “Good luck!”
“It’s obvious that you’re the Uncle that spoils all the kids in the future, Zoi.” Neph raised his hands before the younger man could protest. “Someone has to do that, and I doubt you spoil any of your own children, but if Usa is any indication then you’re the spoiling uncle.”
