DISCLAIMER: Tenchi Muyo and all its characters are copyrighted by Pioneer LDC and some other Japanese company someone tell me who they are! They are not mine. Not yet anyway, ha! My point is don't sue me! Besides I have nothing that you could possess anyway I'm flat-out broke. All I wanted to do was write a simple story, not a lawsuit. Thanks! Now for your entertainment (boredom actually) here's the story- Tenchi once again, woke up to the sound of Ayeka and Ryoko fighting. In fact, they had been fighting a lot in the past couple of days. "Man" he said quietly, "can't those two ever get along, someone's got to do something about this." His thoughts were then interrupted by a loud explosion. "Not again" he moaned. He wondered if anything in the house was still standing. A few minutes later Tenchi was lecturing them again. "Can't you just calm down and ignore each other? I don't believe you two This is happening to much, I don't want to.....!" This sound familiar he thought, oh yeah, I said the exact same thing yesterday. " I'm getting too frustrated, I can't take it anymore!" "But she...." Ayeka tried to say. " Hey its not my fault" Chimed in Ryoko, under her breath she said " That your a complete loser." " I don't want to hear it" was the cold response. Tenchi then stomped of to regain his composure and cool down. Of all the times he thought, Yosho and Nobuyuki had just gone away on a trip leaving him all alone. Why weren't they there when I need them he thought, its like they know when to go...... like its a test. Through all this Samami was listening and snuck of to talk to Washu. " Little Washu, isn't there something you can do to stop them from fighting?" " For once Sasami, I don't know, they fight over such stupid things but I'll try" " Thanks Washu" " What was that?!" " Thanks LITTLE Washu" " Better" " But please hurry, everyone's tension level is rising quickly, another fight could be just around the corner." Washu sighed to herself, this won't be easy she thought. But she knew that this would further show her incredible genius if she could do this. "Ha, this will show 'em" A couple days later and about a half-million fights later, Washu wasn't in the same optimistic mood in fact she was downright pissed. " Damn it, they just can't get along, nothing works! Not even the best damn tricks I have! Sasami's right, nothing can stop those two! The only way is to kill them both" she smiled as that thought crossed her mind. " That's all right, at least were already used to this anyway. Lets not go that far." Washu turned to see Tenchi uneasily smiling at her, " Hey don't talk like that to the greatest genius in the universe!" Shouted Washu "Plus, I've got a plan" Tenchi knew she didn't but was smart enough to shut up. It was too stressful around here anyway. No one could get along. Kiyone was screaming at Mihoshi, Ayeka at Ryoko and likewise, and even the cool-headed Sasami was getting edgy. This was just not the place to be. " Hey hey," said Washu, " i got it, it'll just take a minute" as she ran to one of her machines and started working. She was talking to herself but to Tenchi, she was talking in another language so he quietly slipped out. Tenchi slipped out just in time to run into a flustered Ryoko. " Did you know that Ayeka's a bitch? 'Cause she is, how can she be a princess?" Tenchi was getting used to this and didn't want an argument so he just walked away. Which was just the perfect time to run into Ayeka. " I hate that Ryoko! Why is she even here? Tenchi, tell her to leave! She isn't wanted here! She makes me so mad." Tenchi was beginning to wonder how he could ever fall in love with either of them. Unfortunately Ryoko heard this and another fight started. The energy fields and power log things started flying. As Tenchi tried to break them apart but, of course, this was futile and they fought their way into Washu's lab. Breaking everything in their path. They ran right into Washu's machine. The last thing they heard was Washu saying "uh oh" Ryoko woke up first. She was very groggy even so, so she fell right back to sleep. When Ayeka woke, the first thing that she saw was herself across the room. But she couldn't see a mirror, and it wasn't her reflection either. The next thing she saw was Washu giving her a sheepish grin. " There's been a slight problem Ayeka" " What is it?" " Well, um, when you hit the machine, it caused some of your molecular structure to mix with Ryoko's, meaning that your mind is in her body, and she's in yours" " WHAT!!!" " Don't worry I can fix this....... just not yet" " Does anyone else know about this" asked a very queasy Ayeka, " Nope and I'd like it to keep it this way, after all, who here has the reputation of being a perfect genius here anyway?" " Not you" Ayeka said under her breath. She was secretly hoping that this was a really bad dream. She couldn't stand the thought of living in Ryoko, her worst enemy's body. This was going to be a living hell for her. She sat there pondering the past hours events. What was she going to do? " How can I do this" she thought "This is torture." She was interrupted by Ryoko moaning. "Owww what happened" said Ryoko. " Hello" said Ayeka, in Ryoko's body. " Ahh! No! This can't be! Washu! Washu could only shake her head. "Now" said Washu, " After thinking this over, I don't quite have a solution yet, everyone is worried so you can't stay here, I need my peace and quiet" " But" " Wait" " No, you guys go, just don't give yourselves away, remember, they don't know what happened, the only thing you can do is adjust so JUST GET USED TO IT!" Ayeka turned to Ryoko with a dumbfounded-what-do-I-do look on her face. < From now I will refer to them as the mind in the body, therefore Ryoko means Ryoko's mind in Ayeka's body, try not to get confused, too late probably. OK?> Washu went right on preaching, " OK now I almost have the problem isolated" " The problem is we are in the wrong bodies!" They both screamed back. " No the problem in returning you to your old bodies, now leave, so I can get to work" and with a flick of her wrist Ayeka and Ryoko were transported to the living room. It wasn't long until everyone found them. Still very confused. " Are you all right Ayeka?" asked Sasami. " Yeah, just a little dizzy" replied Ayeka, in Ryoko's body. " But, she didn't ask you" questioned Mihoshi. " Just shut up" was Kiyone's frustrated response. " Just be happy that their back." For once everybody agreed with Mihoshi. Tenchi only said "well, I hope you learned your lesson" as he walked away. " But Ten-," "Wait" Ayeka and Ryoko tried to say something but they were interrupted by the others. " Just get some rest, this has been a very strange day" said Kiyone as they left. Tenchi took a talk in the woods just thinking. He was becoming very frustrated and edgy recently, he was lost in thought: " Maybe I should apologize, but no, shouldn't they be apologizing to me? I'm just so confused, I wish Yosho or dad was here, I'm just ever so lost." In fact he was, he wondered about for some time contemplating these events. Meanwhile back at the Masaki household, Ryoko and Ayeka were just confusing everyone. They were just trying to get used to the others bodies. Ayeka was trying, in vain, to teleport and Ryoko was trying to access Jurai military secrets but she didn't know Ayeka's password. Everyone around them was just wondering what was wrong with them. Its like they completely forgot everything. " Ayeka?" asked Sasami "Don't you remember what you have to do?" " Um, could you remind me?" " Didn't you remember you have to call Mommy and Daddy now!" " Oh shit" thought Ryoko, what the hell am I going to do? " C'mon, only you have the authorization" urged Sasami who was growing restless, we haven't talked to them in so long! " Then can't we wait just a little longer?" Pleaded the demon as her last attempt, "Fine" pouted Sasami who was obviously irritated, " You owe me big," " Whew" thought Ryoko, this was going to be harder than I thought. Who knew Ayeka's life was so complicated? Meanwhile Ayeka was enjoying doing absolutely nothing. " Just like Ryoko, she sighed to herself, never doing anything. This is the life, too bad Tenchi isn't here, that would make it perfect." Tenchi had cooled down but he had caught the flu and was in his room resting. He was off-limits to everybody else but Sasami. Ayeka was thankful for that because everything was getting so confusing now. Finding nothing to do she got the mail. After opening her (Ayeka's) mail. " WHAT?! RYOKO SPENT $5,000 ON MY CREDIT CARD!" " Sorry, I kinda got out of hand...." for the first time, Ryoko was speechless. " I should have you arrested and thrown into subspace" " How?, I'm the princess now don't you remember" said Ryoko with an evil grin spreading slowly on your face, " In fact don't I now have ALL of your privileges?" " Why you...........you....." Was all Ayeka's face turned red with as Ryoko left. She continued to read the mail, as she opened a mail from Jurai. A smile formed. " Ryoko, come here," " What" " It seems as if Ayeka has to go to Jurai for a special meeting, and I can't go, they'd never recognize me, and that leaves.........you." Before Ryoko could say anything, they got a message from Kamidake and Azaka. "Good afternoon Ayeka, Ryoko" " Princess Ayeka your presence is needed on Jurai, Just you, Sasami may stay you will leave tomorrow morning, by order of Misaki and Azusa, don't worry though you will be able to return." " What will she do?" questioned Ayeka (it may get confusing now ) " Good question Ryoko, she will be attending a meeting, an important one, matters are highly confidential." All of a sudden, Kamidake interrupted them, "Excuse me your highness, there's been a change, we have to leave now!............." Ryoko only stood there dumbfounded....................... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And so my first lowly attempt at a fanfic is done. I hope that I didn't take an idea already there, if so please notify me. And if there is, I ask permission to use this idea. But anyway (for the one or two still there) how'd you like it? Sorry for any spelling or grammar errors, I suck at that. Email me with your critique, its important address is at the top of course! I need your support. Bye and thanks for reading! :-) Look forward to Part 2, coming soon. Sorry, I would've connected them together (the two parts) but I wanted to try to make this months deadline. Sorry if its too short. And thanks to Gensao for actually putting this up! (assuming he does)
