Last Date of Revision: 8/6/98 ------------------------- Sasami sat down and pulled out a book from a small brown bag sitting on the dining table. She began browsing through it. Always wanting to diversify her menu, the princess had bought several books from a foreign book store. Sasami emptied the bag onto the table, she noticed an extra book. Perhaps the sales clerk had misplaced it by accident. Having read the title, Sasami got excited and hastily deposited all the books into the safety of their original container. She hurried and hopped onto the nearby sofa and began reading the book. The book, having to deal with various holidays and traditions of different Earth cultures, peaked the interests of the young princess. Ryo-ohki entered the room and hopped on Sasami’s lap. There, the cabbit fell into a light slumber in the warmth of of her companion. She barely acknowledged the cabbits presence and continued to read the book with great interest. "AH HA!" Sasami finally proclaimed in great excitement. The cabbit awoken to the pig-tailed girl's sudden outburst. Sasami received and idea that a part of her really liked. It awakened a part that we rarely saw. She knew better not to go forward with the idea, but it had taken over. Her conscious was throw aside as this idea churned in her head. "Miya?" Ryo-ohki wondered as the princess gently placed the cabbit on her head. Sasami smiled wickedly. She would need to prepare. Yes. Prepare for what she has planned for the rest of her family. *** Sitting on her floating pillow, Washu, the greatest scientific genius in the universe, was busy devising a plan on getting that last sample she needed. Her previous attempts had failed thanks to interruptions by a certain blond detective. The famous mad scientist train of thought was interrupted when she noticed a visitor had arrived with the ringing of her crab bell. Turning her head, she smiled. "Hello Sasami, is it tea time already?" Washu asked. "Nope." Sasami replied smiling. "May I help you then?" "Hai! I want to play around a little. May I borrow one of your inventions? I believe it was reference number 1998-69666" "Why would you want to borrow that toy?" Sasami simply grinned. Washu grinned in return. "So do you need anything else from me?" Sasami nodded. "Can you disappear for just tomorrow? Seal the door to your dimension and place a sign that says 'I am busy working on another plant, I'll be back in a few days'." "Ummm... Sure but..." "Don't worry." The princess smiled, "no harm will be done." "Sure, but I am only letting you borrow this device because I trust you won't abuse it for personal gains like the others will." The princess simply nods. Washu suddenly snapped her fingers and a small device appeared in her hands. It was approximately the size of your average TV remote control with several multicolored buttons on top. "I will 'disappear' tomorrow. Have fun Sasami-chan" "Hai!" exclaimed Sasami, "I will" With that, Sasami hurried out of Washu's lab with the contraption in her arms. Washu smiles at the departure of the little princess. The scientist immediately complied with Sasami’s request by sealing her lab off from the Masaki house and placing the sign on the door. "Tomorrow will be a fun filled day in the Masaki household." Washu exclaimed to herself as she double checked that her spy cameras all over the house were operational. "I must keep an excellent record of the upcoming events." *** Sasami awoke in the middle of the night. The blue haired goddess smiled. It was the day she was waiting for. The day her plans would take effect. The hands of a nearby clock were all pointing at the number three. She got up and carried Ryo-ohki to the hallway. There, Sasami proceeded to a near by linen closet and extracted Washu's invention from its hidden alcove. Sasami glanced about. Ensured that her movements were not monitored, she left. The lights of the kitchen flickered on. The blue haired one placed the small device on the counter. She smiles at Ryo-ohki. The cabbit returned the said smile. She wanted Ryo-ohki's assurance that she is still willing to help her in this adventure. "Ryo-ohki, are you sure you are willing to go along with my plan?" The princess asked. "Miya!" The cabbit happily reaffirmed. Sasami pulled out a carrot and rewarded her willing accomplice. Ryo-ohki happily munched on the carrot as the princess looks over the device. Sasami reexamined the manual Washu left with the devise. After a few minutes of skimming, the princess smiled. "Ready to go, Ryo-ohki?" Sasami asked. "Miya!" The cabbit replied happily. With Ryo-ohki following, Sasami headed for her first victim. She quietly sneaked up to the third floor of the Masaki house. The mischievous princess slowly opened the door to Tenchi's room. With a giggle, she entered. *** The sun rose over the vocanic mountains of Japan. Bright beams pierced through a window into the eyes of its first victim. Tenchi awoke drowsily this fine morning. He slowly got out of bed and didn't notice anything different or for that matter unusual. He decided to take a quick refreshing shower. Tenchi left the room still not feeling much around his surroundings. Last night Aeka and Ryoko had another one of their fights. It lasted a long time and he was still tired from the ordeal. Tenchi Masaki somehow found the shower in his drowsy state and removed his cloths. He hastily discarded his cloths in a nearby hamper, still somewhat delirious form lack of sleep. As he entered the shower, the Jurian prince noticed something obviously different. His eyes widened, blood trickled form his nose, and he fell unconscious. *** The bright light also woke up a sleeping demoness. She was exhausted from last night. Ryoko cursed to herself, She wickedly smiled as she got up and attempted to phase into the nearby room. *BAAAM* Ryoko thought, She tried again to no avail. "BAAM* Ryoko thought, Then it struck her. "NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, It must be a dream!!!" *** Aeka awoke to the sound of screaming which somehow seemed familiar. The princess cursed the demon that had to try, again, to steal her Tenchi away from. She got up and noticed a few things about her demeanor. She noticed that her breasts were more developed and that she was wearing a tight, skimpy outfit similar to the one worn by a infamous space pirate. Aeka was in shock! "This can not be, this is not hap...." Aeka stopped talking to herself and noticed the familiar voice that belongs to her enemy. With quick glance around the room confirming her whereabouts, the princess decided to react. "NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" cried the angered princess. *** Mihoshi awoke to hear familiar bickering coming from the hall. It always seems that Ryoko and Aeka are always constantly fighting. It was her duty as a Galaxy Police officer to maintain order. Thus the detective got up, totally unaware about the change in her wardrobe and figure. As he proceeded to the door to egress the room, she passed a mirror. "Ohayoo Tenchi!" Mihoshi exclaimed to the mirror waving her hand as the reflection waved back in a harmonized fashion. Not noticing anything unusual, the Galaxy Police detective headed out the door of the third floor bedroom. It was her duty as a Galaxy Police officer to stop their fighting. *** "Ryoko! What do you think you are doing stealing my body!" screamed the princess in the body of the pirate. "What! I didn't steal your body! Why would I steal a body that doesn't even compared to my own! I should be asking you that question!" Ryoko countered in Aeka's form. "Grrrrrr... What do you mean? I would never do such a thing I wouldn't want to have the body of a tainted character of your reputation" "Well, how bout if I taint your reputation with Tenchi? Heh heh, A crack of the whip sounds fun." "You wouldn't dare..." "Want to try me Princess. After I am done with Tenchi, your reputation won't get you squat." "Why you....." "Oh ho ho ho... Tenchi, you will concede to my love or pay the price... Snap!" "And what if he finds out it was you using my body to do such nasty things... you criminal!" "Ummm, Well...." Ryoko wavered. "Ill tell you! Tenchi will probably hate you for abusing my body. His love for me will blossom. You will be tossed aside like another piece of trash! Oh ho ho ho ho...." "Aeka, Why I a......" Before Ryoko could intercede, a familiar male voice interrupted. "Won't you girls stop fighting!" Mihoshi shouted not noticing the change in her voice. Aeka and Ryoko tuned to the image of Tenchi and both simultaneously replied to him, "Sorry... Tenchi..." "Huh, where is Tenchi, I though I saw him when I woke up." The rivals face faulted. "Ummmm Lord Tenchi are you feeling well?" inquired Aeka. "Where is Tenchi? And Ryoko, why are you addressing Tenchi as Lord Tenchi... I never heard you say that before? Hmmmm..." "Tenchi? Are you ok, you are acting strange?" asked Ryoko. "Why do you keep calling me Tenchi! My name is Mihoshi! You got that... M-I-H-O-S-H-I" Both Aeka and Ryoko looked strangely at the Tenchi that clamed to be Mihoshi. Something strange is happening. "Miyaaaa, Miya, Miya! Miyaaaaaa, Miya, Miya!" a familiar voice sung. Everyone tuned their attention to what seemed like Sasami playing with her hands and doing a little dance. All the observers stared with confusion. Aeka inquired, "Are you ok Sasami?" The blue haired girl approached that cyan haired woman and started to talk. "Miya Miya!" "Err... Sasami is that you?" Aeka wondered? "Hah hah hah... Don't you get it?" Ryoko laughed, "It is Ryo-ohki, I can recognize what she is saying. She thinks you are me..." A smiling cabbit enters behind the original occupant of its body. "Ahhh... so this must be my sister Sasami." Aeka pointed to the cabbit. Sasami mentally says to Aeka, The princesses now have the mental link Ryoko and Ryo-ohki used to shared. It was fortunate that Aeka respected the privacy of her sister, or Sasami’s fun could have ended a little shorter than expected. "What is the cause of this?" Aeka wondered verbally. "MOM!! It must be her doing!" Ryoko shouted. The pirate in a princess's body started to walk downstairs. An action in its self alien to Ryoko. She had always phased up or down the stairs. The others followed suit. *** Tenchi woke again from the shock he received from earlier this morning. he thought to himself as he attempted to get up. Tenchi opened his eyes and noticed in the refection of a nearby mirror the tanned body that he was in. He saw the curly yellow hair firmly placed on his head. Blood tricked down his nose as he gasped at Mihoshi’s beautiful features, features that most men his age never gets to see. The young prince fainted again falling to the floor. *** In front of the door to Washu's dimensional lab, what seemed to be a ensemble of a cabbit, Tenchi, two princesses, and a space pirate gazed at a note plastered on the door of the lab. "Sorry, I am not in at the moment. I am on another planet doing research and won't be back until tomorrow." --Washu, The greatest scientific genius in the universe The group was speechless. A few seconds later, Ryoko broke the silence. "Damm! On another planet my butt! I didn't see her leave at all! This isn't funny." "But, she had gone the day before. Sasami said that she saw Washu leave for parts unknown yesterday. And Sasami believes it wasn't Washu's fault." Aeka told the group. She was being fed the information viva their mental link. "I still think she is still up to no good though. It is just like her to cause chaos with one of her inventions." replied Ryoko. "Miya miyya miiya Miya! the blue haired girl said. Ryoko interpreted Ryo-ohki’s speech, "So you wee there also, hmmm.... Still I don't trust mom, she prob..." *** "Hah ha ha ha ha ha!" On a planet in another dimension away a scientist was monitoring the days events evolve live. Washu was watching with great interest on several big screen monitors and the latest in stereo equipment that would make anyone envious. With a bag of popcorn in one had and a remote control in the other, the red haired genius smiled. "Sasami, great plan! I can't wait to see what happens next." Washu smile widened even more as she monitors the entrance of another participant to the days events. "Ahh this will get very interesting." *** The door of the Masaki home opened revealing the Shinto priest of the nearby shrine. Yosho entered the house noticing the group of people notably arguing in front of the closet. Yosho sighed. he thought to himself. "Tenchi!" Yosho yelled, "Get ready for practice later on today!" The fighting stopped and everyone was looking at Yosho. Mihoshi Replied, "Tenchi? I don't know where he is, may be in his room." Yosho face faulted. The half Juraian was surprised to see Tenchi say that. He even was more surpassed to see Sasami miyaing and what seemed to be his sister pounding on the door to Washu's lab calling, "MOM! Let us in!" "My brother, something terrible has happened!" Aeka cried, as she wrapper her arms around him. The priest was totally shocked to see what seemed to be the space pirate hugging him. He didn't know what to say at all as several seconds passed. Slowly Yosho realized what had seemed to happen. Yosho decided to act with some hesitation in his voice. "Aeka, I think I understand what is the situation, but let us go to the living room to discuss what has happened. I need to understand what is going on." With that, the entire group followed the priest into the living room. There they made themselves comfortable. The blue haired girl was eating carrots. The rivals stared at each other, as the small cabbit smiled in between them. The young man was almost falling asleep. Ryoko and Aeka filled Yosho in on the details on what was happening so far. After digesting this information Yosho then asked a simple question. "Where is Tenchi, or should I say the body of Mihoshi?" Everyone shook their head in reply except for Mihoshi. She had already fallen asleep. "Hmmmm... I think we should go look for him..." Yosho wondered Everyone nodded with agreement. "Then it is settled, Ill look in the house, Sasami check if he is around the space tree Funaho, Ryoko the carrot Field, Aeka the shine and vicinity, Ryo-ohki the lake and it's vicinity, and Mihoshi will look in the onsen if she ever wakes up." The group disperses on the lookout for the person in Mihoshi’s body. Mihoshi just slept there. Yosho smiled. He had sent the others on a wild goose chase. It would take the others some time to realize this. The priest didn't want to imagine the chaos if one of the other girls found his grandson first. The priest knew that Tenchi would be still be in the house, and thus retrieved Tenchi before the others could. *** "What happened?" A drowsy blond began to wake up. This time in one of the guest bedrooms of the house. There were two others in the room, his grandfather and what seem to be his body drowsily playing with a pink cube. The priest spoke, "Tenchi, are you ok?" "I think so... What happened?" Tenchi's grandfather thus explained the days events. Although Tenchi couldn't believe it, he was living proof that it actually happened. For some reason he had switched bodies with the first class detective. As he contemplated the situation, Tenchi noticed a chill in the air. He wasn't wearing any cloths, despite those hentai readers wishes a blanket covered most of his body. "Now you need dress in the right fashion, that is why I brought Mihoshi, she can help you get into one of her outfits. I'll wait outside." Mihoshi giggled as Yosho departed the room, "It is time to play dress up!" Tenchi screamed in shear horror! *** End Part 1 ------------------------- Author’s Afterward: About character abilities, I assume that the abilities of each character is based on the body.
