He tried to do his chores, but had to stop every time someone went by. Finally, Ayeka drug him into the house and made him sit down. From the couch, he could see Washu and Sasami bringing trays of food out of Washuıs lab. Tenchiıs eyes bulged. "There has to be enough food there to feed an army," he said. "Well I hope itıs enough for a couple of hundred High School students then," Washu shot back. He followed them outside to see where all the food was going. There were half a dozen tables set out with food, everything Japanese or American youıd imagine at a summer party, and a few other ethnic dishes thrown in for good measure. Tenchi turned around in time to see Ryoko pick up a raft from behind the house and flew it out to the lake. "It looks almost thirty feet long and twenty feet wide," thought Tenchi. "This is going to be one hell of a party, I hope someone shows up." Kiyone and Mihoshi were setting up chairs outside and Nobuyuki was stocking a bar on the front porch. He looked over and noticed the floating onsen had been anchored down on the edge of the pond and carefully screened so no one would notice that nothing supported it. "Come on Tenchi," his grandfather said seeing the boy standing in the middle of everything again. "We need to get the stereo system set up." About seven people started rolling in. Kiyone and Katsuhito stationed themselves near the driveway. They were directing parking and taking keys for those who were staying. Kiyone had already attracted a few willing fan-boys she was going to use later so she could join the party herself. When people started arriving, Tenchi tried to play host. He really did. For about fifteen minutes. "Come on Tenchi. Dance with me!" Ryoko whined as she clung to him. Tenchi looked around. No Ayeka in sight. He reluctantly let the cyan-haired woman drag him to the floating dock where everyone was dancing. He was beginning to enjoy himself. Ryoko was grinding on one side of him and a girl he recognized from his calculus class was grinding him from the other. "Hey Tenchi!" cried Mihoshi. He looked over and waved back. "Sheıs quite popular there," he thought to himself as he watched six guys fighting to dance with her. Just then Takeshi walked up to him and handed him a glass. "Drink up my man. Your father expressly said you should have this." Tenchi groaned and took a sip from the glass. Jack and Coke. Well, why not, it was a partyŠ The party was going well. Ayeka showed up on the dance floor with another drink for him. Surprisingly the girls took turns dancing with him instead of fighting. Most of the guys on the floor were at least a little jealous. Except for whoever was getting to dance with Mihoshi or Kiyone at that moment. All the dancing was making him thirsty, and he headed over to the bar to get himself a glass of water. Nobuyuki saw his son approaching and put together another drink. Gin and 7-Up. "Here yaı go, son!" he said handing the cup out to Tenchi. "Dad, Thatıs the third one for me. Donıt you think I should take it easy?" "Trusht me, Iıll cut you off when you needs it." Nobuyuki winked. Tenchi sighed. "Hey Tenchi!" called a couple of guys from his intramural team. Tenchi walked over to see what they wanted, hoping it wouldnıt take too long, after all Ayeka and Ryoko were apt to make a scene looking for him if he was gone too long. He sat down in the circle and looked around. "There you are," came Ryokoıs voice. "Well, here it comes," thought Tenchi, but she just sat down to his left. "Ayeka went in to help Washu, so I thought Iıd find you." Tenchi was handed something by the guy on his right. "Go ahead," his friend said. Neither Tenchi nor Ryoko had seen a joint before. "I donıt knowŠ" Tenchi started. "Oooh, whatıs that?" asked Ryoko. "Dude. Trust us," Takeshi said. Tenchi held it to his lips and took a deep breath, then handed it to Ryoko. "Way to go dude." He started coughing. Ryoko took a bigger drag. "Wow dude. That was crazy," Takeshi said when Ryoko finished. She handed a roach off to her left. "He he he. This is great!" Ryoko laughed, hanging onto Tenchiıs arm. Tenchi finally stopped coughing and blinked the tears out of his eyes. He tried to determine how he felt. Not too much different, a little relaxed maybe. "Sure," he said, putting an arm around Ryoko to keep her steady. He took a big gulp of his drink to ease his throat. Another joint came around, and Tenchi passed it to Ryoko. He wanted to go over and see some more of his friends before it got too late. Ryoko nodded, she was enjoying her self here. A big cloud of smoke escaped her lips. Tenchi stumbled into the onsen on the other end of Ayekaıs hand. He didnıt have a good feeling about this, he was drunk, she was drunk, the gods knew what Ryoko was on, and there were lots of other girls under the same state of consciousness here. It wasnıt long before his feelings proved right. Ayeka stripped down to her underwear and pulled Tenchiıs shirt off, under protest, before jumping into the foray of naked and half-naked bodies swimming in the water. Ryoko was already there herself, naked, and toking a big joint. She handed it off to Ayeka, who managed a good hit off it herself before handing it to Tenchi. There was not much he could do but have a toke himself. Somewhere in the onsen music stared, and a mass of drunken, wet people began attempting to dance. The music, people, and that last hit calmed Tenchi down a bit and he began dancing with the girls again. Sasami watched them stumble in at a quarter to four. Tenchi was propped up between Ayeka and Ryoko and they were slowly walking him up the stairs. This was even more amazing, she thought, because his eyes were closed. "Okie, weıs goinı up ja stairz," attempted Ayeka. "Holdıem eyer," gurgled Ryoko. "Youz jusı crookd," retorted Ayeka, and they continued on the whole way to Tenchiıs room, becoming less and less coherent. Tenchi woke up with an ache in his head. He rolled over toward the window to see what kind of day it is. About halfway he ran into something soft he didnıt remember being there. "Wonder what that could be," he murmured. He rolled the other way to check the clock. Maybe that would help. Another soft object. How the hell did he get in his bed anyway? The last thing he remembered was dancing knee-deep in the onsen in his boxers and passing around joints. His blinked a little focus into his eyes and reexamined the object by the window. It smelled good, as a matter of fact it smelled like Ayeka. "Well, darn, it is Ayeka," he thought. He rolled to the other side. Lots of cyan hair. "And that must be Ryoko," thought Tenchi. He reached down and checked his clothes. Good, he wasnıt quite naked. Carefully he got out of bed. He snuck downstairs where a cheery Sasami was cooking up a tremendous amount of breakfast. "Good morning Tenchi. Have an exciting night?" she giggled. Tenchi groaned. Washu came dragging on in. She didnıt look at anyone, but headed straight to the fridge and pulled out a black box. She set it on the kitchen island beside Tenchi and pulled out a hypospray. She pressed it to her neck and it let out a satisfying hiss. A moment later her expression looked a little more relieved. She twiddled the knob on it and held it to Tenchiıs neck. He was way to hungover to resist anyway. It hissed. He could feel the wave of relief spread through his body. "Iım glad I made this stuff up ahead of time, but I didnıt think Iıd be needing it," the little redhead sighed. Tenchi smiled back. "That was one hell of a party Washu-chan." Washu stood on her toes to talk into his ear. "Donıt tell anyone about this stuff, though. Itıs just between you and me." Tenchi nodded. Tenchi was just chowing down to a big plate of eggs and rice when the first of the partygoers drifted in to the smell of Sasamiıs cooking. ======================================================================== Preview of next chapter: ======================================================================== Chapter 7: Here Comes Earth!

Sit back and watch them glimmer theyıre starting to grow, Sit back. ["Rhythm of the Road" by A String Cheese Incident] It was Monday morning. School had ended last Friday, but Tenchi was up early again. He batted the alarm clock off of his nightstand and stumbled toward the bathroom. Today was the day when everyone was off to Jurai, and he could feel the buzz as everyone packed. Even Ryoko seemed excited to go, although he doubted it was the destination that was weighing on her mind, more like the prospect of going back into space. With Tenchi. "Remember Kishida," Grandfather said, "No wild parties." The other priest gave Katsuhito a puzzled look and said, "Alright. Have a safe journey." "Tenchi!" called his Grandfather. "Coming, Grandfather," Tenchi replied as he lugged his two suitcases and backpack down the stairs with him. When he saw Azaka and Kamadake, though, he didnıt feel so bad. "How can someone need all this?" grumbled an overloaded Azaka. ======================================================================== Well, I hope you like it so far, sorry for the delay in getting these last chapters out, finals got in the way.
