First of all, I don't own Tenchi Muyo or anything else in this fic, Thank You. AYEKA'S BIG DATE by Tenko_Masaki proofreader: Yukio *How can I get him to notice me?* Ayeka thought in silence as she watched the TV. *I've tried everything! Including innocent seduction. What have I not tried?* The TV flickered as the channel was changed. "And now, we continue with our feature presentation, Jealousy Games." The TV announced as the scene changed to that of a man spying on a couple in a resturant. "That's it! By the trees, it may actually work!" Her mind ran over images of Tenchi spying on her and demanding that she return with him. While she thought about this, she didn't notice the pint size scientist walk over behind her. "What is?" She was asked from behind. The question jolted her out of her dream world and made her jump up in surprise. "Miss Washu!" She began until a giant statue landed on top of her head. "I mean, Little Washu. Don't scare me like that!" The statue disappeared from the princess. "Sorry about that." Washu stated with as little sympathy as she could muster. "So, what is your problem?" She had decided to cut straight to the chase. Ayeka straightend up her kimono and hair, in order to appear respectable after being scared to death. She breathed a sigh of relief as she talked. "Well, I have figured that if I can't get Lord Tenchi to notice me while i'm acting normally, that i'll just make him jealous of someone else." Washu chuckled silently to herself. This was the perfect opportunity to test out her newest serveilance equipment and she could have a little fun with Ayeka at the same time. "Yes..yes, all of this is well and good , but, who on Earth do you know that would help you with your plan?" Ayeka stopped dead in her tracks. Her plan had been going so well. As she frowned she didn't notice the devious smile slowly cover the scientist's face. Ayeka was almost ready to cry until someone tapped her on the shoulder. "Don't worry about that Ayeka, I know the *perfect* guy for the job." Washu slyly stated as she began to pace around the room. "Although, if you agree to this you have to stick through it to the end, just to make it look realistic." The scientist continued in order to bait Ayeka in further. "Very well, I just hope this helps me get Lord Tenchi." Ayeka spoke to herself as she began to walk towards her room, so that she could get freshened up for her blind date. "Sure it will!" The red haired scientist lied as she began inching her way towards her lab. True, she knew that this plan was doomed to fail from the very begining. Afterall, Tenchi just wasn't the jealous type. But, that didn't mean that she couldn't play along and get a good laugh out of it. *Just wait until you see your date, Ayeka* Washu chuckled evilly to herself as she entered her lab. They didn't notice the cyan haired pirate's head poking out of the wall as they left. nor the fact that said pirate was just barily holding in her laughter. *If this is who I think it is, then I have GOT to tag along, just to see her face.* As she phased into her room, she pulled open a dresser and took out a camera and began to load it. *This day has SO many possibilities, I can have many uses for these* She thought idly as she fiddled with the film. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few hours later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the day set, three people were getting ready for the nights events. Washu had just finished secretly placing her equipment while Ayeka had just finished preping up for the big date. Everyone else was downstairs watching TV. As Ayeka come down the stairs she was greeted by Washu. "Just one other thing." Washu stated quickly as she rummaged through a bag she had with her. "Act like you like him, while everyone is watching." Ayeka nodded in agreement as Washu grabbed a tube of lipstick from the purse. "This is for..added effect." Washu stated with a smirk as she handed it to her. They came down the stairs gracefully and noticed that everyone was watching some kind of anime. They watched as one of the characters on the show changed his hair to spiky and yellow. "HAHAH!! I am invincible, you could never defeat me!" The man uttered in an overly terrible dub voice. "Oh yeah! Well watch this! KAMEHAMEHA!" The other man uttered in a worse dub voice as he shoots a ray which instantly killed the yellow haired man. "Yes, I have saved the world!" "This show is horrible." Tenchi stated in disgust as he shook his head in annoyance. "Yeah." Sasami spoke in perfect agreement. "American dubbing at its worst." Sasami mumbled out in saddness. "Makes me wonder why Washu installed these American channels in our TV." "Hey guys, wanna see something cool." Ryoko stated as she stood up, after which she made her hair color yellow and made it stand up on end. "Woohoo, I'm a super saiyan!" She laughed out as she reverted it back to normal. "That was just wrong, Ryoko." Tenchi mumbled out in chokes of laughter after seeing a blond Ryoko. "Oh! Does my little Tenchi-poo like blonds." Ryoko spoke seductivly as she draped herself around him. "Or I could be a red head, or a brunette, whatever you like, my Tenchi." She continued as she nuzzled herself on his chest. "Ryoko." Tenchi stated in a tone which said get-off-of-me-right-now, to which Ryoko complied completely, phasing back onto her chair. "Poo, your no fun." Ryoko mumbled out in mock sadness. "So, does that make me a natural super saiyan." Mihoshi asked in as bubbly a voice as ever. Everybody in the room facefaulted. As Washu and Ayeka began to recover from the horrible anime they had just witnessed, the doorbell rang. Ayeka quickly applied the lipstick and ran towards the door with a big smile on her face. She opened the door and the smile quickly changed to a look of shock and disgust. She had to force herself to bring up a fake smile. The man at the door looked like he weighed atleast three hundred pounds. and along with his horrible glasses was the biggest and most disgusting red nose anybody would ever see. The man brought out some flowers, which by the way, looked liked they had been plucked straight from the Earth. Ayeka took the flowers hesitantly and with much disgust. "Hi, I'm Amagaski." He spoke in a nasaly voice after which he snorted loudly. "Yes, and I am CROWN princess Ayeka of Jurai." She muttered in an overt attempt to show him that nothing would or could happen between them. "Well, lets go." She stated in order to get the experience over with. "Have a nice date, Ayeka!" Sasami yelled out at the princess. "Have fun, Miss Ayeka." Tenchi spoke toward the lavender haired princess. Ayeka's shoulders sagged at that comment. Washu had to repress a giggle as she left towards her lab, unaware of the cyan haired girl who had just phased outside, with a camera hanging from her neck. Tenchi and Sasami both turned their attention back to the TV and Sasami turned the channel to a new one that had just been activated. "I wonder whats on this one?" She muttered to no one at all. "Hehe, tonight were going to dive into some fun!" The silver haired girl on the show spoke as she began opening a door with a flashing red light above it. "Toonami!" They screamed in terror ."Change it." Tenchi and Sasami stated at the same time as Sasami grabbed the remote. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ayeka and Amagaski walked the path out to the driveway in relative silence. Ayeka wasn't really in a talking mood after having met Amagaski. She was really beginning to hate this idea. She hadn't even succeeded in getting Tenchi jealous, and now she had to go out with this repulsive thing. She was actually begining to toy with the idea of bringing her guardians along to *subdue* her date. The princess froze in terror as they came upon his car. It was a yellow pinto. She felt like blasting the horrendous thing to bits, let alone be seen in it! As Amagaski jiggled with the keys, Ayeka was locked in a bitter mental battle. *I am the Crown Princes of Jurai. Why have I let myself be subjected to this!* She couldn't be sure, but she could have sworn she heard a giggle and a snap, as if someone had just taken somebody's picture. Ryoko hid within the bushes, laughing so hard that tears were streaking down from her face. *Oh my God! She's getting in...THAT!* She picked up her camera and took a few pictures. *Lets see her complain about cramped starships after this!.* She mumbled out in amusement at the princess. "Although, even I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing." She spoke to herself and then added. "That is, unless Tenchi was naked inside the thing." She continued with a slight blush on her face. Within a dark and mysterious lab, a woman stood typing at her computer. The woman looked like she had just been laughing out loud because her face was slightly flushed. Above her, a monitor showed a purple haired girl get into a yellow beat-up pinto. "Hmm, this is going perfectly according to schedule." She spoke in amusment at the princesses predicament. "At the very least, after this experience I bet you'll be a WHOLE lot more hospitable." Washu continued with a slight smirk on her face. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ayeka, The First Crown Princess of Jurai, stood waiting in line at the local McDonalds. Her fat counterpart was currently ordering anything and everything that was on the menu. Ayeka stood quietly, feeling quite ashamed at being there. And as shameful as it was in a place like this, she had to admit, she was kind of hungry. "...and to top it all off, I would like two large chocolate milk shakes." Amagaski ordered, completely oblivious to the princess waiting behind him. *Of course..we wouldn't want to forget the milk shakes.* She thought bitterly, sarcasm dripping from the statement like honey. Her eye was twiching and her hands were clenched together because of the long wait and horrible food. She was definately not happy. "That all comes to four thousand yen." The cashier stated as he waited for payment for the meal. "As the ogre payed the cashier, Ayeka stood behind him in obvious disgust at the mountain of food that was brought out. Amagaski's mouth watered in anticipation as he picked up the meal and walked off toward a stall, Ayeka dragged herself behind him with a nauseous look upon her face. Ayeka looked at the food and was hesitant to begin. With delicate and soft motions she grabbed one of the napkins and placed it in her lap. And then she carefully picked up a burger and unwrapped it. As she tasted it she noted that it wasn't all that bad. *Maybe I was wrong about this date.* Ayeka thought hopefully as she took another bite. Unfortunately, she wasn't wrong. Amagaski reached for a stray french fry and accidently crushed a packet of ketchup, the ketchup burst from the packet and shot off straight towards Ayeka. The ketchup splashed all on her face and she screamed and then grabbed a napkin and wiped her face. As Amagaski sat down he again accidentaly knocked away one of his drinks which splashed all on the table and leaked onto Ayeka's kimono. Ayeka was not pleased at all. *Thats IT! As a Crown Princess there are certain times when you just have to take a stand!* She thought angrily as she began to get up. Amagaski ran over and began wiping off her kimono with some towels. Ayeka's anger dissipated because of this good deed. "I'm very sorry about that. I guess I'm just clumsy sometimes." Amagaski appologized sorrowfully to Ayeka, hopeful that she wouldn't be to angry. "How about a movie, that will get our minds off lunch." He added in hope of getting on her good side. "Fine." She mumbled dejectedly, she would have roasted this little peon for this crap if she hadn't given Washu her word. *Good thing Azaka and Kamidake are lurking around if I need them.* She thought with a dark grin on her face. As Ayeka and Amagaski sped off toward the theater they didn't notice the space pirate hiding in the shadows, laughing her ass off at the princess while she snapped a few more pictures. "This is a gold mine!" She spoke to herself. "I wonder how much the Jurain tabloids would want for these." She finished with an amused grin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *A movie, nothing can go wrong here.* Ayeka thought as she sat in a theater seat next to Amagaski. Suddenly, she noticed something strange about the audience. They were all kids. *It's probably nothing, really.* She thought hopefully as the lights began to dim and the screen began to flicker on. "GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL!!!!! POKEMON!" The screen blared out as the mindless children screamed out in approval. Ayeka hung her head and began beating it repeatedly against the seat infront of her. "Tsunami in heaven." Ayeka muttered in prayer. "If you have any heart, please rescue me from this hell." She finished in hopes of being wisked away back to her cosy home, a home that was away from the godawful movie that was playing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Two hours later. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So what did you think of the movie." Amagaski asked goodnaturedly as he began to help Ayeka out of her seat. "It was spectacular." Ayeka told Amagaski, inorder to shut him up. *more like craptacular.* Ayeka corrected to herself as she walked out of the theater and into his car. "I want to go home." Ayeka told Amagaski in a no-nosense kind of tone. She had had enough, this date was fruitless and horrible. "But, we still have alot to do." As soon as he had finished saying this a bunch of miniature logs began to accumulate around him. "Okay..home it is." Amagaski stated quickly as he fiddled with the keys. Ayeka let a smile overtake her as she sat back in anticipation at being home again. Around the corner, A cyan haired girl snapped her fingers. "Damn, Well it was good while it lasted." She muttered as she picked up her camera and teleported back home. She wanted to be there to *greet* her friend. As the beat-up pinto drove up into the masaki's yard. A purple haired girl was seen darting out of it, not bothering to thank the driver or even ask him to come in. She had enough of Amagaski for a long time. As Ayeka walked into the living room she was welcomed by Ryoko and was motioned to sit down. "So, did you have fun, princess." Ryoko spoke in a devious voice. Ayeka didn't know what to think of it. "Anything interesting happen." "Nothing really." She stated in a nervous voice. "Just the usual. Most of it I probably couldn't even remember." "No problem." She started, until a really evil looking smirk, flashed across her face. "I have pictures to remind you, if you need them." "WHAT!" Ayeka was furious. Ryoko had been snooping around on her date, trying to dig up dirt. And she dug up a whole mountain. "I see.. What is it you want." Ayeka stated in defeat, knowing full well that Ryoko could really screw up her title with those shots. "Just a week alone with Tenchi, thats all I ask." Ryoko spoke toward the princess. *I didn't mean to have to do this Ayeka, but this is the only way I could accomplish it.* Ryoko thought with the faintest hint of saddness for her actions. Although it didn't last long, and the victory was still sweet. "Fine, just don't do anything that he won't allow." Ayeka remarked with a hint of fatigue in her voice. The day had taken its toll on her. "Good." Ryoko stated with happiness in her voice. "I think i'll just hang onto these, until I get my week." Ryoko continued as she phased away from the livingroom. Ayeka slumped in her seat. The day had been the most horrible day of her life. Nothing went right, nothing. All of her plans had been ruined and now Ryoko was blackmailing her with pictures of her and Amagaski. As she sat there she didn't hear Tenchi sit down until he spoke up. "Miss Ayeka." Tenchi spoke in a cheerful voice. "I heard a great movie is supposed to be playing, wanna watch it with me." Tenchi continued, in hopes of lifting her spirits. Afterall, she looked pretty down. The faintest hint of a smile played upon Ayeka's lips, Tenchi always could brighten up a day. Even a miserable day like this one. Ayeka nodded her head in agreement and snuggled up next to Tenchi. Relishing the treatment she was recieving. Maybe this day wasn't a total loss after all. Hi, I hope you liked the fic.
