Sailor Moon Quasar: A Plutonian Girl and Her Dog Chibi-Mamoru Darien Chiba Chapter 4 Event 4A: Claribel's Sluggish Morning "Claribel!!" Kerwin called. "Get up; it's time for school." "I don't want to go to school today," I mumbled. "I feel sick." Why should I go to school only to show how stupid I am in history? I see no reason to go to school in the condition I'm in. Wait a minute, I just said the s word!!! What did I do that for?!!! "Oh, I'm sure the doctor can find a shot to perk you up, Claribel," Kerwin laughed. Oh, ha ha. Kerwin is trying to use my fear of going to the doctor to get me out of bed and off to school. I glare at Kerwin and then turn over to face away from him. "Claribel, what's ailing you?" "My heart, my stomach, my head," I replied. "Well, Claribel, my diagnosis is that your heart is hurting because your mother got on your case for not returning home in a timely fashion like you were supposed to," Kerwin said. "Your stomach and head are hurting because you have not eaten anything in the last 20 hours. I also see that you have not done your homework, Claribel. You know how much I despise zeroes." I'm sunk. "Sorry, Papa," I apologized. "Don't be sorry to me, Claribel," Kerwin told me bluntly. "The only one who this hurts is you. If you hurry and get washed up and get fed and dressed for school, you may have enough time to get something done. Damn, I'm going to be late for work!!!" Kerwin ties his tie and rushes out. I look at my history homework and realize that after I'm done bathing, eating, and dressing myself and feeding Cereberus, I'll not have time to make even a single mark on my homework. Honk, honk; the goose has just laid another egg. As I'm bathing, I shudder as I remember how angry Kerwin was with me when the teacher told him that I had not turned in an assignment on January 5, 2991. It was the only time Kerwin, being the nonviolent man he is, ever really laid a hand, or should I say, a razor strop, on me. Later, Kerwin explained that he would not have punished me as severely as he did if I had not tried to keep this zero from him and if I had done my homework like I was supposed to. I shed a tear into the water at this incident. I get out of the tub and dry myself off slowly and deliberately, paying special attention to my crotch and my butt. Hmm, what an interesting sensation. At least, it is once you have a chance to get used to it. Dang, I'm running late!!! I'll have to explore this later. I waste no time in getting dressed in my school uniform and head downstairs to Sharon who has breakfast waiting for me. After feeding Cereberus, I grab my books and make a mad dash to school.
