disclaimer - i dont own tenchi or anything about tenchi so dont sue me pioneer or you either AIC Chad and Sasami arrived way before anybody else. Both of them cleaned up and Chad had to Band-Aid his cut. (Chad) Hmmm, what should I make? (Sasami) I dunno. (Chad) Did you guys ever have Ham and mash potatoes? (Sasami) No. (Chad) Good then Ill make that. Chad started to cook up a storm. He cut the pineapple for the ham, he boiled the water, and he cut the vegetables and did everything else. When he was all done, he popped the ham in the oven, the vegetables in the pot and in the other pot went the mash potatoes. Since Chad was all sweaty from before, he went to go take a shower and get ready. During this time, everybody else arrived home. (Ryoko) What is that wonderful smell? (Sasami) That is our dinner that Chad cooked. It will be ready in 30-min. Get ready. Everybody left to get changed for dinner. Before everybody came down, Chad set up the table and checked up on all the foods. (Chad) Everything is perfect. Everybody came down at around the same time and were in awe to see Chad sitting there at the dinning room table with all this food that he just cooked. Even Sasami was amazed at how much food he created even though she saw the whole process. (Chad) Bon appetite. Everybody ate the food and congratulated Chad on such a wonderful meal. After the meal, The girls this time didn't allow Chad to clean up so they did. (Nobuyuki) Looks like someone is becoming a real ladies man. (Chad) Uh. Heh heh. Heh heh. After everything was cleaned up everybody but Kashuhito went to watch TV. Kashuhito said he had stuff to do at the Shrine so he left. (Chad) Well I gotta go finish unpacking. So if I don't see you guys later, then goodnight. Chad walked up to his room and everybody remained watching TV. (Ryoko) It's real fun with Chad around. Its fun having another earthling around (Kiyone) Yea you're right Ryoko Everybody agreed. Later that night, All the girls wanted to say goodnight to Chad so they all went to his room. (Chad) Who is it? (All the girls in unison) May we come in? (Chad) Um sure. The girls entered into his room. Chad was sitting on his bed looking through a trunk below him. (Ryoko) What are ya doing their Chad? (Chad) Oh, I'm just looking through some things that I couldn't sell like family heirlooms. (All the girls) Can we look? (Chad) Um sure I guess. All the girls sat around the trunk and looked at things that were in there. There were pictures, some books, jewelry, a teddy bear and some other things. Mihoshi picked up the teddy bear and looked at it. (Chad) I've had that since I was born. Everybody then proceeded to pick up some pictures that were in the trunk. A lot of them were baby pictures or pictures of him with his parents. (Ayeka) Is this you as a baby Chad? [Holding up a picture] (Chad) Yea, that was my first birthday. All the girls look at the picture and in unison say Awwww. They then switched to a different photo, which Chad immediately grabbed out of their hands before anybody, can see. Ryoko, who was sitting next to him took the photo away and passed it around. Chad tried to get the photo back but he couldn't before they all saw it. Chad turned bright red at the thought of that picture. It was a picture of a baby Chad in a bathtub naked. His parents would have used it as blackmail in his later teens. Chad quickly put away his photos knowing there were probably even worse ones in the pile. (Chad) well, goodnight everybody. (All the girls in unison) Goodnight Chad. [All smiling after what they had just seen] That night, Chad had a very good sleep even though what had just happened to him. Also that night, all six girls had a pretty good sleep. The next morning was peaceful. Sasami cooked breakfast, Ryoko and Ayeka didn't fight and Chad and Tenchi went to work. (Chad) How long have you known them? (Tenchi) Who? The girls? (Chad) Yea. (Tenchi) About 2 years. (Chad) And one of them still isn't your girlfriend? (Tenchi) Nope. (Chad) Don't sweat it. My luck with women is horrible. You should be happy that you got them at least as friends. Chad and Tenchi then went to the fields to pick some carrots. Ryo-oki also tried to steal some carrots but Chad caught her and he stopped her. Now it was off to do some training before lunch. Both of them put in their full energy to try to win but neither could surpass each other. It was around lunchtime so they stopped. (Tenchi) Aren't you coming to lunch? (Chad) Oh, I really don't feel like eating and I need some time to think. Ok? (Tenchi) Sure, Ill see you later. (Chad) See ya. Tenchi arrived home later while Chad stayed at the shrine. (Ayeka) Lord Tenchi, Where is Chad? (Tenchi) Oh, yea, he wanted to stay at the shrine because he said he needed to think about some things. It was a quiet lunch. Everybody was wondering what Chad would want to think about. Chad himself didn't know what he wanted to think about. He just stayed there looking into the sky in thought. (Sasami) Who wants to bring Chad his lunch? I mean, a kid does have to eat. (Ryoko) Ill bring it. (Sasami) Thanks. Everybody else thought this was weird but they just shrugged it off. After lunch, everybody went to do his or her separate things. Ryoko took the food and flew off to the shrine. When she almost got there, she remembered not to use her powers so she walked the rest of the way. (Ryoko) Um, excuse me Chad? (Chad) What is it? (Ryoko) Oh, I just brought your lunch. Sasami wanted you to eat something. (Chad) Thanks. (Ryoko) What are you thinking about? (Chad) Oh just some things like home, NY, and my parents. (Ryoko) Do you mind if I sit with you? (Chad) Sure, be my guest. Ryoko proceeded to sit next to Chad. She noticed all the bruises and cuts he had on his body. (Ryoko) Don't those hurt? (Chad) Not really. Nothing a day or two won't cure. (Ryoko) I know but they don't bother you at all? (Chad) I got use to them. I was always the subject for the bullies to beat up so I just got used to them. It also strengthens me. It's nothing really. Chad slowly ate his lunch cause he was so tired he could barely move his arms. (Ryoko) So did you leave your sweetheart at home for the summer? [She said this while winking.] [This made Chad choke on his food] (Chad) Um actually no. I never really had a girlfriend. (Ryoko) Really? (Chad) Yep. Back at home, I was never really liked by girls. Most of them didn't even know I existed. (Ryoko) Well, cheer up! Here, we all like you! (Chad) [Blushing] thanks, that really means a lot to me. (Ryoko) Don't sweat it. (Chad) So do you have a crush on anybody? (Ryoko) Well, I guess you can say that. (Chad) I hope you get him. A person like you should deserve somebody great. (Ryoko) Thanks. I wonder how a guy like you never got a girlfriend. (Chad) Yep, I wonder too. Chad finished his lunch as both of them sat looking at the peaceful sky. (Chad) Well, I guess I should get back to work. (Ryoko) What work do you have to do? (Chad) Well, I offered to do some chores while I'm here. I mean, I don't wanna be a rude guest. (Ryoko) Can I help you? (Chad) If you want to than sure. The two of them then proceeded to walk to the fields. When they got there, they had to pick the rest of the carrots and plant new ones. They finished in no time. (Ryoko) Hey Chad, when is your birthday? (Chad) It's July 5th. (Ryoko) That means its less than one week away. (Chad) Yea, I guess so. (Ryoko) Oh, man. I just remembered I have to go do something rather important. (Chad) Ok thanks for the help. See ya later. Ryoko left while Chad attended to the rest of his chores. Ryoko quickly ran home since she couldn't fly. (Tenchi) What is it Ryoko? (Ryoko slightly out of breath) When are we going to start to get ready for Chad's birthday party? (Sasami, Mihoshi) BIRTHDAY? When is it? (Ryoko) July 5th. That's less than one week away. (Sasami) Oh my god. We better start to get ready. By the way, where is Chad? (Ryoko) He is out in the fields. He had to finish off his chores. (Tenchi) That reminds me, I gotta help him. [Tenchi ran out the door] (Sasami) Ok. Mihoshi and Kiyone will get the decorations. Ayeka and I will make the cake. Ryoko, you go get drinks and chips. Washu, we will need to use your lab to hide the stuff in. (Everybody else) Right. That night, there was a dinner prepared by Sasami. It was a wonderful meal as always. Mostly everyone kept quiet until the dumb-founded blond started speaking. (Mihoshi) Hey Chad, when is your birthday? [Almost everyone face-faulted at this point] (Chad) It's July 5th. (Mihoshi) Wow, that's pretty close don't you think? (Chad) yea I guess so. The rest of dinner was spent quiet. After dinner, Chad, Tenchi, and Nobuyuki cleaned up while the others went to do their own thing. (Tenchi) Sorry about the chores earlier today. (Chad) It's ok. Ryoko offered to help me and so she did. (Tenchi) She helped you? (Chad) Yea, is that a problem? (Tenchi) Well she never does chores and she offered to help. (Nobuyuki) Looks like the ladies like someone. (Tenchi) Dad! We shouldn't embarrass him. Chad retired to bed early after he cleaned up his cuts. All the girls wished him a goodnight with smiles on their faces. The next morning, Chad woke up around noon. (Chad) I wonder why they let me sleep in? Chad walked down the stairs to see nobody at home. He saw a note on the table that read. Dear Chad, Were sorry we didn't wake you but you looked really tired so we just left you asleep. The seven of us went to town today and we will be back later at around 2. Kashuhito, Tenchi, and Nobuyuki went out for the day and they won't be home till late. See ya in a bit! Love, Sasami, Ayeka, Ryoko, Mihoshi, Kiyone, Washu, and Ryo-oki (Chad) Oh well. I guess I'm on my own for a while. Back in the city… (Sasami) Ok, we have everything we need; now all we need to get are the presents. (Ryoko) Well that shouldn't be a problem. Ayeka and Washu went into a jewelry store. Mihoshi, Kiyone, and Sasami went into a clothing store. Ryoko and Ryo-oki went into a picture store. They all came out later with bags full of gifts. Chad dozed off on the couch after eating a sandwich for breakfast. They all came home to see Chad still asleep on the couch. They snuck everything over to Washu's lab in order to hide everything. When they stepped out, Chad was stirring a little in his sleep but he didn't wake up. Everyone decided to stay quiet so not to wake him. Of coarse, this worked until Mihoshi sneezed waking him up. (Chad) Oh ok, you guys are home. (Mihoshi) Sorry for waking you Chad. (Chad) It's ok. I'm glad you did actually. (Washu) Why is that? (Chad) Well I wanted to know what you guys did while you were out. (Sasami) Well we went to go buy some new um… (Mihoshi) dresses. [Everybody was shocked that Mihoshi actually did something smart for once.] (Chad) Cool. (Ryoko) Well, aren't you going to ask to see them on us? (Chad) Well, I wasn't really thinking you guys wanted to show them to me but if do then ok. (Ryoko) Good, we will go get them and show them to you. Everybody went up stairs to Ayeka and Sasami's room. (Kiyone) Ryoko, How could we possibly try on dresses if we didn't buy any? (Ryoko) Well, Chad has never seen any of our dresses so all we have to do is pick out our best ones and show them to him. (Ayeka) That's a pretty good idea. Sneaky but good. Everybody then went to their own rooms to pick out their clothes. About 30 min later, Sasami screamed. (Sasami) Hey Chad, If you want to see us then turn around. Chad turned around to see the beautiful women in their clothes. Chad almost started to drool because they were so stunning. Ryoko was wearing a long black dress that showed a little too much leg. Ayeka and Sasami were both wearing kimonos. Washu wore a white dress that showed a little too much skin. Mihoshi and Kiyone both wore knee length solid color, strapless dresses. Chad snapped out of it and said. (Chad) You six look very stunning. I'm surprised there aren't guys waiting around the corner for all of you. [This made all six of them blush very brightly at those comments.] Chad then quickly grabbed his notebook and started to sketch them in their dresses. That night was spent very normal. The only thing out of place was that Tenchi, Nobuyuki, and Kashuhito were still gone. Chad went up to his room to write in his diary. (Chad) Well goodnight everybody. (Everybody else) Goodnight Chad! As he was walking away, he felt two hands pinch his butt. He looked around to see Mihoshi and Ryoko smiling at him. He smiled back and continued on his way. After about 10 minutes, Ryoko went to go say goodnight to him. She went through the floor to see him turned away in just his boxers and a shirt. (Ryoko) Oh baby, take it off. (Chad) Wha? Oh, its just you Ryoko, I didn't hear you come in. (Ryoko) I just wanted to say Goodnight to you. Well goodnight. (Chad) Goodnight Ryoko. [He pecked her on the cheek] As Chad showed her to the door, he felt another rather painful pinch happen to him and then a peck on the cheek. Chad went to sleep.
