It had been a nice and quiet handful of days in the Miyake residence. With their daughter off on a class trip the two parents of the household settled into a peaceful, calm day without any teenage drama. But today was the day their daughter would return from the trip. Not to say they weren’t happy to see their daughter again, but a little break was nice. Being a parent is such a difficult job. Rewarding, but also exhausting. Not least due to the company their daughter kept.
"I'm so glad our little Shinobu is normal," Mrs Miyake sighed.
"Yes dear," Mr Miyake agreed. "Unlike those friends of hers, she's a nice ordinary cute girl with enough smarts to keep herself from getting hurt." They both shuddered imagining what it would be like if Shinobu was as crazy as the rest of her friends.
“I think she’s finally over Ataru too.” Mrs. Miyake said.
“That’s great. He’s a good boy, but, uh…”
“Terrible as a boyfriend?"
"Yes, let's put it in those terms," Mr Miyake sighed. "Do you know, there were times when I'd worry when the two of them went out. We've tried so hard to keep her nice and normal, but that boy... It would be so easy for him to be a bad influence. It's such a relief that she's not taking after his less savory traits.”
That’s when the door to their house flew open. “Helloooo Mom and Dad!” With that overly enthusiastic greeting Shinobu ran into the living room. “You miss me?”
“Of course we did dear, it’s nice to have you home.” Mrs. Miyake said.
“Great! Though I’ll be heading out again soon.” Shinobu said.
“Already?” Mr. Miyake said.
Shinobu blew her parents a kiss, “Yup, got to head out for a bit.”
"Oh? Meeting up with your friends?"
"Sort of!" Shinobu said, turning around and skipping off towards the stairs. "I'm heading out to a mixer!"
The two parents took in those words. One could almost hear the sound of a balloon deflating as their minds processed that. “A mixer!?” Mrs. Miyake said.
“Now now dear,” Mr. Miyake said, “I think maybe we misheard that, or she misinterpreted the name, I bet she just thinks it’s a regular part-”
“Oh! My! God! Where the hell is the sexy clothing!?” Shinobu’s voice echoed from upstairs.
“Y-you mean all the presents Ataru got you?” Mrs. Miyake said, twitching nervously, “Th-they’re still in that chest under your bed.”
“Oh great thanks Mom!” Shinobu shouted down. "Ooh, cute micro-skirt! That Ataru sure has nice taste!"
“S-sexy clothing!?” Mr. Miyake said. Clutching his chest, “S-she can’t be seriously going out wearing some of those things Ataru gave her? Right?”
At those words Shinobu came back down. Wearing the black “cute micro-skirt” she had mentioned earlier. It barely covered her panties, and anybody standing at a slight angle below her would see them. It came with a matching strapless top that only barely covered her chest. Leaving her stomach, shoulders, and cleavage all well exposed.
“Y-You’re wearing that!?” Mrs. Miyake said.
“It’s great huh?” Shinobu said, giving her parents a sexy pose with a V-sign. To both parents stunned and horrified silence. What had happened to their daughter? To dress so wildly! So sexily! Had Ataru broken her mind!? Did she need a boyfriend that badly?
WHAP! What’s when the parents saw it. A paper fan hitting the top of Shinobu’s head, being wielded by… another Shinobu!?
“What are you doing!?” The second Shinobu shouted.
“Heading out to pick up boys, wanna come?” The first one said with a wink.
“N-no!” Second said. "And change out of that right now!"
"Hrm... Oh! I get it! You wanted to wear them instead!" the first Shinobu said, giving a twirl that nearly sent Mrs Miyake into a standing coma. "That's fine. I found a pair of shorts that should work wonders!"
"You are not going out in daisy dukes!" The second screamed, “That’s… well… damn it it’s only slightly better!”
“Oh so you know exactly what I was thinking of?” The first smirked, “That would explain the pictures I found in that box too. The ones of me, or you I guess, posing in front of a mirror taking modeling the outfits!”
Both parents eyes snapped to the second Shinobu in mouth gaping shock.
"Th-that's another thing entirely! It's not like I was letting anyone else see them! Besides, after Ataru spent money on them it felt kind of bad not to at least wear them once... I'm a normal girl! Completely normal! Not a pervert! Shut up!" She held up the paper fan threateningly, “So you go back upstairs, dress normally, and until we figure out how to get you back in that mirror you’re staying in my room!”
“Oh that’s too bad I guess that I’ll just have to- oh my god Mendo!?” The first Shinobu said.
“Not falling for that this time!” The second, and what the parents were realizing was the original Shinobu.
"He's wearing a speedo and oiling up Rei's chest!"
There was an audible sound that was almost like a branch breaking. Somehow, the real Shinobu managed to keep herself from turning around. “That’s even less believable than… then before.”
“Now Rei’s the horned boy who likes Lum and can’t speak Japanese right?” Mrs. Miyake said.
“Y-yes Mom.” Shinobu said.
“Well then yes that’s actually happening.” Mr. Miyake said. “They showed up after you hit your double with the paper fan.”
Shinobu made a creaking noise while she turned around. Sure enough, behind her was a certain annoying rich boy (Who she nevertheless had a crush on) reluctantly rubbing oil up and down a sexy, handsome alien's chest.
"Down, you monster! I am not food!" Mendo yelled. "Grk! This oil is supposed to suppress your ravenous appetite!”
“L-let me help Mendo!” Shinobu dropped the fan and ran over to the pair. Helping him out and touching that god-like body? She couldn’t resist! And judging by how her mother was suddenly by her side neither could her. “Just let us-”
Their hands passed through Rei’s body, and Shinobu felt a familiar pair of feet on her head, the Mirror Shinobu bouncing over her and through Mendo and Rei.
“Sucker! I knew borrowing that holo-projector from Lum would pay off!” The Mirror Shinobu said, “Cute boys here I come!” She ran out of the door.
“No!” Shinobu shouted, “Damn it!”
“Shinobu sweetie what’s going on?” Mr. Miyake said, while Mrs. Miyake was still trying to touch the Rei hologram.
“Magic mirror copy!” Shinobu said, “I got to follow her and stop her!”
“Well, dear, I mean, if she’s heading to… a party of sorts, do you really-”
“You’re right dad. I have no choice but to dress up like her if I’m going to get into wherever she’s going.” Shinobu said, giving in far to easily. “I’ll be right back!”
“T-that’s not what I meant!” Mr. Miyake shouted, but it was too late, his daughter was out of earshot. He fell to his hands and knees, and both parents only watched with grim horror as Shinobu ran back down in a pair of daisy dukes and a tank top. “Get back here you slutty copy!” She shouted, running out the door with her purse in hand.
“She… she gave in far too easily to wearing that.” Mr. Miyake said.
“Maybe she was influenced more by Ataru than any of us realized.” Mrs. Miyake said, accepting her daughter’s cruel fate.
