Tenchi Was sitting on his bed, reading a book casualy, while he was actualy having his mind race. "This doesnt make sense. If what I think is true, then...." He was cut off my a knock at the door. "Who is it?" "Its Ayeka" she replied. She opened the door and walked in. "It seems youve found out, havent you?" she asked. "Yes, I have. But we cant let Ryoko know or were both in deep." he replied. Later that day, Tenchi was sitting by the pond in front of his house. "Wha'cha doing Tenchi?" said someone from behind him. "ACK! Ryoko, you scared me!" he yelled. At the word "Ryoko", Ayeka rushed outside. "Lord Tenchi, are you ok?" she said as she rushed to his side. "Yea.....im fine...." he said. "Well, if it isnt little miss bratty here to BARGE in!" Said Ryoko. "Who are you calling a brat, you witch!" "WHAT!? HOW DARE YOU!" Back and forth...again and again....During that time Tenchi was abnle to sneak off to his room, and as soon as he did, he locked the door. He turned around only to be face to face with Ryoko. She grabed the key and droped it in her shirt. "Why Dont you het the key now, Tenchi?" She said as she put her arms behind her back. "Come on, in giving you a free try! Go ahead, get it!" she said as she inched closer to him. Tenchi was now against the wall, no where to go. To his left, his desk and to the right, his bed. She inched closer untill she was right in freont of him so he coudnt move at all. "Now, I belive I heard you and Ayeka say that you cant tell me something....what is it?" she asked, that voice of hers that meant :do it or else....:. Tenchi told her the secret but also told her not to even act like she knew. Ryoko lept with joy. "Oh this is great! Now I can forever torment that brat!" That night, Ayeka was having a strange dream. She saw Tenchi now as the king of Jurai, sitting by her side. Suddenly, the doors flew open and a shadowy figure, one she knew, walked in. The figure held up its hand and sent an orb right through Ayeka's neck. Just then she woke up and bolted sitting up. "Ohhhhh thank god that was a dream....It was so real, as if she knew." Tenchi was pretending to sleep, while Ryoko slept on the floor beside him making sure he didnt escape. She was down to her undergarments from the summer night-time heat. He snuck over her and found her shirt. He looked inside to find the key was not there. He looked around and saw where it was. It was sitting on Ryoko's stomach...... She slowly walked over and knelt beside her. He reached toy and got the key, but acidentaly ran his finger across her tummy at the same time. She too, had been pretending to sleep. A faint slit of her eye came into view. "Why, Tenchi...I never knew you loved me THIS much." she said with a snicker. She sat up, wraping her arms around him. "Please Tenchi, let me talk. Just this once, No tricks." She asked. Tenchi could tell the truth in her voice, so he let her go ahead. "Tenchi, I love you more than life itself. Right now I feel as if i will never let go, but I know that girl Ayeka would kill us for that! I dont care if you should be king, and I know you dont either. So please, wont you pick me and only me as your future wife? I was the first to meet you, I comforted you and you always were kind to me, knowing I was there when you were a child. You freed me, and now I want to be with you always, so please, stay with me forever!" said Ryoko, tears forming in her eyes, tears of happiness that she could finaly speak the truth. Tenchi was astonashed at what Ryoko had said, and had no clue how to reply. Should he marry her? After all, it was her that he was with first. But also, he is to be king of Jurai with Ayeka. Ryoko suddenly pulled him close and kissed him passonately. Tenchi for some odd reason, returned the kiss. Then that secret came to mind. What it was could even this for him, but lower for the girls. He could marry them both....as Ayeka's father has 2 wives. Its a tradition, and he doesnt want to break it. He cares for them both so much! Just then he made up his mind. He deciced what he will do.... The next morning he woke up, Ryoko still in his room. She was already awake, sitting by the window. "Good Morning Tenchi!" She said happily. The day went quite well, other than a fight where Ayeka and Ryoko were saying they would be his bride. Tenchi decided to take an afternoon relax-hour, so he went to the hot springs and got in. Ryoko was alrealy in. He swam over and leaned against a rock, falling asleep. he woke up only to find it was night. He felt something, or someone, was still there. Tenchi took a look around, to see Ryoko was also asleep. He silently went over and put his hand on her shoulder. "Ive made up my mind Ryoko. I dont want to be a king. I want to be a normal person here on earth. You were the first girl, so I proudly say that I hope you will be my bride." 1 1/2 years later:Location of the group Ayeka and Sasami went back to Jurai after the news that Tenchi and Ryoko were engaged. Tenchi just couldnt feel sorry for what he had done, for it was correct. Mihoshi and Kyone are still on Earth at the Masaki Household. Each now feel proud of their friends Tenchi and Ryoko, and Mihoshi is still a ditz. Washu is also still in the household, and is currently working on a way to control the Lighthawk Wings on command. As for Tenchi and Ryoko......they happily were wed on the day of Sunday, December 17, 2000. They are currently on their Honeymoon in wich they will go to many cities across the USA, courtesy of Noboyuki, who is very anxously awaiting a grandchild. Tenchi on the subject simply turned a bit red, while Ryoko said proudly "DON'T WORRY! I will make sure of that!". But for some reason, Tenchi has a gut feeling, that a year ago was not the last time he would see Ayeka..... The End.....?
