"Hello, my name is Jan Aubrey Fogle, known to some as Jaf. As some of you may have noticed, I am also the leader and founder of the AFC. However, everything I do does not have everything to deal with the AFC. For example, this fic is of my own device, and I never, ever checked with any club member to write this. I wrote this out of my respect for Ryoko and my belief that Ryoko should get Tenchi and that Aeka isn't good enough for Tenchi. This fic will be as long as I feel like writing it, and no one can sway me to do otherwise, so keep your C&C to yourself. I can not stress enough, however, that this has nothing to do with the AFC, even though I am the founder. No one in the AFC thinks like I do and they all love Aeka and Ryoko both dearly. Most of them like Sasami more and think she should get Tenchi and steal him away from everyone else, but that is beside the point. This is my creation, not theirs. If you are thinking of joining the club, please do. You will be accepted with loving arms and everyone will love you dearly for it. I will love you dearly for it. You will be in my prayers and you will have automatic love and respect because you are cool and hip and stuff. The AFC is what you should join. Join the AFC. This fic has nothing to do with it, but join the AFC. Please. Thank you, Aubinimity (that's my pin name. Or is it pen name? Bah, whatever) ------ One week before The setting was perfect. The earth birds were chirping, the breeze was blowing pleasantly, her hair fluttering in her long pony tails, the sun high, creating a devine glow about her and the forest. And of course, there was Tenchi. Tenchi! Tenchi with her! At long last, she knew it was coming! He was going to tell her! He was going to express his love, at long last! She could see it in his eyes! He was sitting there, staring at her, obviously captivated in her eyes, as she was captivated in his, those soft, thoughtful, kind brown eyes, sparkling with Jurain energy. Oh, glorious day! At long last! "Um, Aeka..." he stammered. She loved it when he stammered, when he acted so bashful around her. She loved every part of him, would for the rest of her days. "Yes Tenchi?" she asked him coyly, playing up to him. She wanted desperately for him to find the courage, the courage to love her as she did him! Oh, if such an act was even possible, to equally give her the love she gave him, for the love was endless, gigantic, insurmountable! "This is really hard for me to say," he mumbled, his hand drifting to the back of his head. "Oh, I'm ready for anything," she cooed, snuggling up to him. "Oh, well, alright, I'll guess I'll just say it." "Please do! I can't wait. Just to hear your voice..." "Uh, Aeka ... I ..." "Just say the words, my lord," she said to him, becoming overwhelmed in anticipation. Finally, after all these weeks and months, he was going to tell her! Finally! What she had been waiting for so long! It was all coming together! "Me and Ryoko are, uh, kinda engaged." Aeka face faulted. "What?" "Well, you see, before last night, I was a virgin, and I never really experienced the act of love before, you know?" "Wh-what did you just say?" "And Ryoko, last night, she showed me. Oh, it was wonderful! She was so strong! So demanding! You know she gave me a blow job?! I've never really been kissed before and she-" "What are you talking about?!" Aeka was on the verge of tears. This had to be a joke! The Tenchi she knew was a kind and decent man, a loving man, a brave man! What was he talking about?! And did he just say BLOW JOB?!! "Well, you see, you're a very fragile girl, Aeka, and I don't think I'm, well, I guess it would be man enough to have you and all the responsibility of my birth right, do you understand?" "I ... I ..." "Don't get me wrong. I still love you, just as a friend. You'll always be my closest friend. Your kindness and support have gotten me through some tough times, Aeka. I just want to thank you. And you're invited to the wedding, of course. It's next week. Ryoko didn't think you would come but I demanded we invite you. Cause you're my friend, and-" Aeka had her head down. Her words came like daggers. Tears dripped down to her kimono, darkening the bright purple in little spots of sadness. "You ... chose ... that ... girl ... over ... a ... damn ... blow job?!" "You don't understand, Aeka! You know how well Ryoko can ..." Tenchi quickly glanced both ways. "You know how well she can suck a penis?" he whispered, half giggling. "Go away," Aeka mumbled, her body erect and statue-like. Not a quiver ran through her. "Well ... I can tell you probably need some time to get over this. But don't worry about me, Aeka. There are plenty of other men out there, all across the universe. I mean, considering the complexity of the Jurain family tree and all, you might even find another brother out there or something ..." Tenchi was shushed by Jurain logs suddenly appearing around him. "Well, I guess I'll leave you alone," Tenchi spat out quickly, leaping from the log he was sitting on and sprinting towards the shrine. Aeka waited til she could no longer hear his foot steps before starting to cry. "How'd she take it?" Ryoko asked as Tenchi sprinted up to the shrine. "Oh, you know, she was alright, I guess." "She threw a fit didn't she?!" Ryoko said, smiling. "No! She just kinda listened. Anyway, I don't think we should mess with her right now. We'll wait til the wedding to approach her." "She's not coming," Ryoko spat. "I'm not going to let her ruin it!" "Probably not, but I invited her anyway." "Tenchi!" "She's my friend, Ryoko, and this is probably a difficult time for her. She'll need us there to help her calm down." "Well ... alright, if you really want the bitch there." Ryoko jumped into his arms, hanging onto his shoulders. "Yes I do. Now let's hurry, cause we've got a wedding to plan. I've got to get tuxes for me, dad, and grandpa. And you've got to get a wedding gown and bride's maid dresses for Washu, Mihoshi, and Sasami." "I doubt Aeka will let Sasami come ..." "Anyway, maybe she will. Just do it. We've both got a lot of stuff to do." "I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!" Nobiyuki screamed, jumping around the house. "OUR LITTLE TENCHI IS GETTING MARRIED!!! WHOO HOO!!!!! YEH!! YAY!!!!" "Nobiyuki! Stop this foolishness!" Yosho scolded. "I JUST CAN'T HELP IT!!! I'M SO HAPPPYYYYY!!!!!" Nobiyuki stopped jumping around and immediately broke into the river dance, feet flying every which way, knocking lamps off of tables and smashing in television screens all over the place. "Yes, I agree with father," Sasami sang, her eyes growing wide and filled with sparkling tears of happiness. "This is so sweet that Tenchi is marrying Ryoko!" "Yeh," Mihoshi put in. "I just love weddings!!!!" Mihoshi and Sasami immediately joined with the river dance, knocking knives and dishes off counters and sending them careening to the walls floor. "Please everyone!" Yosho tried to scream over the commotion. "This is a time for planning and diligent work, not for running around and dancing and WAHHH!!" Nobiyuki snatched Yosho's hands and was leaping into the air with him, letting out screams of happiness. "Wait! Wait!" Yosho tried to calm them. "What about... What about ...! WHAT ABOUT AEKA!!!!!" Everybody stopped dancing and looked at him. Expressions of deep thought and contemplation crossed everyone's faces. For a long time they all stood there, thinking about what they were doing and the poor girl outside, alone, surely torn apart with sadness and jealousy and loss. The whole setting was silent, the sounds of birds chirping in the new day outside the only sound for miles and miles. One could hear the slightest sound, the faintest pin drop, the littlest mouse cough, the most far away waterfall. "Well," Mihoshi said finally. "She's a princess. She's bound to get over it sooner or later." Everyone looked at her and then thought to themselves. "YOU'RE RIGHT!!" they all yelled in unison. They then returned to their river dancing, knocking things down, ruining the house, tearing holes in the walls, all the while singing "TENCHI'S GETTING MARRIED!!! TENCHI'S GETTING MARRIED!!!" They sang all that afternoon, all that night. Soon Tenchi and Ryoko came in, and after a little time of useless words trying to calm them down, they too started singing, filling the whole forest, even the whole town a couple miles down the road with their bright, happy, relieved words of "TENCHI'S GETTING MARRIED!!! TENCHI'S GETTING MARRIED!!! RYOKO'S GETTING TENCHI AND TENCHI'S GETTING MARRIED!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!" Back in the woods, Aeka was sobbing. The next day, everyone in the household was awakened by a thunderous crash from outside. Windows rattled, on the brink of shattering, as humongous clouds of upshot dust bashed the outside walls, shaking the entire homestead. Everyone quickly filed outside to see what was going, Tenchi and Ryoko the first ones to hit the scene. They looked upward and were just in time to see a faint image rising up into the night. Soon, the others were outside, looking around for the tornado or earthquake or signs of apocalypse. "It was just a spaceship," Tenchi mumbled, turning back to his family. Ryoko nodded in agreement. "I wonder who it was," Sasami mused. Just then Mihoshi busted outside, waving around a piece of paper. "Oh no!" she kept screaming. "Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!" "Give me that!" Ryoko shouted at her, shutting her up. "Let's see here. "‘I'm sorry this has happened, but I must do this. I have gone home to my parents, my real family, and I will never see you again. Sasami, I know how much you love this place, so I won't force you to come with me. Don't worry everyone, I will make sure my father doesn't do anything rash. Signed, Aeka Jurai.' "Alright! She's gone!!!" "Ryoko!" Tenchi scolded. "Ahh. I'll be lonely without my sister," Sasami moaned. "Don't worry, you still have us," Nobiyuki assured her. "Oh yeh!" Sasami said, giving ‘father' a big ole hug. "But this means that our household is broken up!" Mihoshi wined. "Bah! What's your problem anyway! She was always insulting you!" Ryoko reminded her. "Oh yeh! Hell with the bitch!" Mihoshi grinned her usual ditzy grin. "Hmm, this is most displeasing," Yosho mumbled. "Hey wait a minute! She was the one who tried to tie you down and make you lose your chance at freedom from the tyrany of the aristocracy you were trapped in!" Ryoko corrected. "Oh yeh! You're right! Hell with the bitch!" "Ryoko! You shouldn't be saying such bad things about Aeka!" Tenchi scolded her. "Well, did she ever suck your dick like a real woman?!" "Well ... no, you're right about that, but-" "And did SHE ever let you fuck her right up the ass like a REAL woman?!!" "Well ... no." "And did that bitch ever tell you once that she loved you?!" "Yeh." "She did?! Well, uh, um, did she mean it?!!" "Yeh, probably." "Uh ... How do you know?!" Ryoko flustered. "I ... guess I don't." "THAT'S RIGHT!! SHE WAS LYING!!" Ryoko cried out triumphantly. "Yeh... I guess you're right. Hell with the bitch." "Hooray!!" everyone yelled in unison. "Now let's go back to bed," Ryoko suggested. "Ok!" everyone agreed and strolled off back to their rooms. This is the end of half of a regular Ryoko gets Tenchi fic.
