The Doctor, the Wizard, and the Engineer

Chachamaru looked around the corner with hoped that she would be able to see the braided hair of her classes' resident scientist Satomi. But as she looked she saw that she was nowhere to be seen. Chachamaru's reason for attempting to find the mad genius was that, for starters she was a cyborg, an at first glance you could see that. While most of the time she wore long sleeves to hide her joints, she was tall for the age she was trying to pass herself as, with long green hair, and a pair of fashionable antennae sticking off the side of her head. She was created two years ago in Mahora U's lab by Satomi Hakase for the dark wizard Evangeline A.K. McDowell whom she she had noticed was a little less monstrous than her mistress liked to admit. Chachamaru was looking for Satomi because she worries that she may have picked up some virus because she had noticed her systems running slower. And on top of it there seemed to be a signal with no clear origin.

Where is she? Chachamaru thought to herself As Satomi was nowhere near her laboratory, which was for the most part odd. It was practically a second home to the girl, and the place anyone could find her. After a bit longer, Chachamaru decided to give up looking for her and catch her tomorrow in class. Though it did feel troubling not getting to her today. Hoping it wouldn't get too serious she turned to head to her mistress's cabin outside the dorms she ran in to someone, causing them both to topple over on each other.

"Oh I'm terribly sorry." Chachamaru said as she picked herself up.

"It's all right. I wasn't looking either." Chachamaru recognized the voice right away. She looked to see Satomi to her great relief.

"You're kidding." Donna asked to her sheer bewilderment.

"Well it is true, I am their teacher." Negi, Donna, the Doctor, Setsuna, Asuna, and Konoka were sitting in at a café, a location that the six of them had agreed on after Negi's thanks to the Doctor for his substituting 3-A. of course in the beginning the Doctor and Donna didn't believe them, but after a bit of looking into they found that it checked out.

"But look at you, you're so adorable." Donna said, causing Negi to flush a little.

"Well I'm not so surprised." The Doctor said. "I've come across plenty of teenagers who are professors." Then he felt a piercing stare come at him, making him immediately uncomfortable. He looked and saw Asuna, the girl who seemed to be smitten by him earlier, now suspiciously staring at him. "um hello Miss." The Doctor said to her, a bit nervous about the stare she was giving him.

"What's your name?" she responded bluntly.

"My name?" the Doctor asked unfazed at how strait forward the girl was. And it should be reasonable, because for a good while any one that the three of them had come across had tried to either (a) kill them, (b) kidnap, or (c) tried to unleash a hell monster. Not everyone, but any one. And Asuna was just keeping a keen eye on these characters that had appeared from nowhere today.

"Yeah your name. You taught our whole class, but the entire day you had us refer to you as the Doctor. Why is that?" Asuna asked persistently.

"Now Asuna, I think you should calm down." Negi said.

"He's right you know." The Doctor said. "You can get a little explosive like in class today." The Doctor said rudely, almost as though he were unaware of what came from his mouth.

"What was that?" Asuna said giving the Doctor an even more vicious look. It also earned him a smack in the head from Donna, something that she found herself doing often.

"Sorry." He said

"Well next time think before you say something."

"No promises." The Doctor whispered secretly to her.

"So where are you from?" Setsuna asked, curious over the fact that neither of them look Japanese, but still speak it fluently. While the woman was nothing unusual, she felt something was off from the man, aside from his dreadful wardrobe. "From what you look like I'm guessing you're from the west right?"

The doctor had to think his response, which Setsuna found odd. She passed a glance to Negi, who seemed to be keeping a good eye on the two of them as well.

"We're from Britain."

"Hey that's where Negi's from." Konoka said.

"Really?" The Doctor said fascinated.

"Which part?" Donna asked Negi. Negi noticed that the woman suddenly changed from speaking Japanese, to English. Finding it odd at how fast this woman changed language, he switched to English, and trying not to be rude asked.

"Excuse me ma'am, but why did you change to English all of a sudden.

"Uh Negi," Asuna said as she leaned in closer to him. "Why did you respond to her in English?"

"But she asked me in English."

"But sensei." Setsuna came in to back Asuna up. "we heard her talk in Japanese." suddenly the Doctor and donna stiffened, as they realized what was happening, or at least the Doctor was, donna just felt confused, but still felt that something troubling was coming up.

"What? But I clearly heard her speak in fluent English." The suddenly the Doctor bolted upright fro his seat, sending the chair flying.

"Well it was good to meet you, but we suddenly have a bus to catch so we have to say good bye, and this should cover out tab." The doctor said all this as she pulled out his wallet and over paid their tab as he grabbed Donna by the hand and they both began speeding away from them.

"What was that?" Asuna asked.

"Why did they just run away like that?" Konoka asked.

"There's something suspicious about those two." Asuna stated.

"That's true." Setsuna concurred. They all paid their own tab before walking away and continuing their conversation.

"First they come out of nowhere, and then they have Negi reassigned." Then out of nowhere there was a cry of desperation. The three girls looked and saw Negi ram rod stiff with a look of horror on his face.

"Hey Aniki, what's wrong?" Said a masculine voice coming from Negi's bag.

"Chamo?" Asuna said, as an ermine crawled out of Negi's bag. "Where have you been?"

"Just taking a nap," he responded nonchalantly. Albert Chamomile is an old friend of Negi's from wales (note: and somewhat of a pervert.) he said he came to japan to help raise money to support his "sister" but I only seemed sketchy. Plus everyone seems to forget about the whole thing. He's usually aids Negi with strategizing, working out most of the time, and who helps him with making his contracts/pactios, a contract a wizard makes with a partner. "So Negi you just now remembered your work for today?"

"Oh that's right, you substituted one of the high schools today didn't you?"

"And it was a nightmare." Chamo answered for Negi. "Especially since it was co-ed."

"Oh what am I going to do? I never worked with high school level grading before." Negi said panicking. The three girls looked at hi surprised at how this boy could go from being an English gentleman to a nerve wracked kid, but it's just one of the many things that make him so charming. And why so many of the girls in his class are so blood hungry to get to him. After a few seconds of flailing, Asuna walked up to him and smacked him in the head.

"Geez Negi, pull yourself together."

"Asuna I think that was a little rough there." Konoka said.

"Well the kid needs some tough love you know." Asuna then turned to Negi, who was massaging the spot on his head where he was punched. Then she noticed a smell coming from him. Negi looked up as he saw Asuna's face only inches from his. "When was the last time you took a bath?" Negi suddenly felt the color drain from his face.
