Script of my Tenchi film. Disclaimer :- I do not own Tenchi and the other characters in my Tenchi film. They all belong to AIC and Pioneer. I am just using these characters for my story. Please don't sue me - I don't have any money. I could nick some from my dad's wallet but I don't think that there would be enough in there. I'm not old enough to make that kind of money anyway so...please don't sue me! Author's note - This will be my third attempt at fanfiction so I am still relatively a newcomer to this. So...I apologise in advance if you don't enjoy my story. Please send any comments, good or bad, to ryoko_and_tenchi_4eva@hotmail.com or leave a message in my guestbook on my website http://spacepirateryoko.cjb.net Thank u! Author's note 2 - I'm back again! Sorry but I just thought that I'd give you a bit of background information into the story before you get confused. This story is a mixture of Tenchi Muyo and Tenchi Universe. That is why Washu is Ryoko's mum but Ryoko was injured by Kagato before she took Tenchi to rescue Ayeka. There are also a few bits of the story that don't line up with the universe or the Muyo series (e.g. Ayeka still doesn't know that Katsuhito is Yosho in disguise.) Also, there are a few new characters that I have introduced that are my own. So...now that that's all cleared up, onward to the story. Act 1 Scene 1 : (starts with Tenchi waking up in his bedroom.) (The sun is shining through Tenchi's open window.) Tenchi - (squints as the sun shines on his face) Oh, just 5 more minutes! (pulls the covers over his head.) Just 5 more minutes and I'll get up, I promise. Ryoko (she has been hovering over his bed all night watching Tenchi sleep) Come on Tenchi, time to wake up. (she floats down and sits on Tenchi's bed) Tenchi! Time to get up and have some fun! (smiles slyly.) Tenchi - (looks at Ryoko and smiles back) I'm too tired Ryoko, not today ok? Ryoko - (pouts) But Tenchi. Tenchi - But nothing Ryoko, I'm shattered. Please let me sleep. Ryoko - (smiles a wicked smile) Tenchi - Ryoko?? (Ryoko grabs onto Tenchi and teleports him to the floating onsen above the lake.) Tenchi - Ryoko. Please, I just want to go to sleep. I didn't sleep very well last night. Ryoko - Why was that my Tenchi? Tenchi - Well, perhaps it could have been from all that Sake you gave me last night and Ryoko.? Ryoko - Yes Tenchi?? Tenchi - Could you please stop saying that I'm yours. I don't belong to any of you girls. Ryoko - But you have to choose one of us soon. It's not fair Tenchi (teleports herself next to Tenchi's face) It's not fair. (Tenchi backs away from Ryoko with his face bright red and his nose bleeding.) Ryoko - Anyway Tenchi, I promised you that I would take you on a journey with me. I'm not breaking that promise to myself - not for anyone. Tenchi - I know. I just...I just...need more time. Ryoko - (whispers in Tenchi's ear) I can wait, I could wait forever for you. (Tenchi turns bright red again and Ryoko disappears.) (Meanwhile, at the Masaki house, Sasami is busy preparing breakfast for the others. However, only Ayeka and Kiyone seem to be awake.) Sasami - It's nearly ready - another 5 minutes and it will be done. Kiyone - (rubs her growling stomach) I'm starving - Mihoshi forgot to pack us lunch on our last assignment - surprise, surprise. Ayeka - Miss Kiyone, you cannot rely on Miss Mihoshi to get anything right. If she says that she's done something, she obviously hasn't. Kiyone - I know. She makes me so angry!!! Ayeka - You have my deepest sympathies Miss Kiyone. Kiyone - Thank you. Sasami - It's ready!!! (Sasami, Kiyone and Ayeka all sit around the table ready to eat.) Sasami - Well (looks at the clock on the wall) where are the others?? Ayeka - We simply cannot eat without them - it would not be good manners. Kiyone - I'll go and see if I can possibly wake Mihoshi up. I'll go and get father and grand-father aswell. Sasami - And I'll go and see whether Washu would like anything to eat. I'll go and see whether Tenchi is awake aswell. Kiyone - That leaves Ryoko. Ayeka - Oh, that lazy good for nothing. We should just leave her. She should only be allowed to eat if she pulls her weight around the house. Sasami - Ayeka... Ayeka - (looks at Sasami) Alright, I'll go and find her. (they all leave the table and venture out to look for the others. Meanwhile, Tenchi is having a bath in the onsen and can hear Ryoko humming to herself in the bath for the ladies next door.) Tenchi - Ryoko? Ryoko - Yes Tenchi? Tenchi - What do you think that each girl would do if I told them that I hadn't chosen them? Ryoko - Well...erm...I guess that Kiyone and Mihoshi wouldn't be that bothered. However...I reckon that Ayeka would either leave forever, blow her top, cry and scream or hide in her room and never come out. Tenchi - Either way, I won't get a good reaction from her? Ryoko - No. I don't think you'd get a good reaction from any of us. No-one likes rejection, especially if they are rejected over someone that they either hate or have known for a long period of time. Tenchi - And what about you Ryoko? Ryoko - Hmmmmm? Tenchi - How would you feel if I picked one of the other girls over you? Ryoko - Well...I...I...I don't think that there would be enough words in the entire universe to describe how I would feel. I... er... Tenchi - Would you leave? Here I mean. Ryoko - Well...I don't really know. I haven't thought about it much. I guess I would go. I don't think that I could cope with you being with another woman. You know how much you mean to me Tenchi. I would rather I die than you. I would rather suffer than see you in pain, Tenchi. Tenchi - Thank you Ryoko. That's all I needed to know. Ryoko? Ryoko - Yes Tenchi? Tenchi - I have made my decision. I have chosen the girl that I believe I wish to spend my time with. In 10 minutes, I will announce it to the rest of the girls and the one I choose can do as she pleases - laugh, cry, fall into my arms. Whatever. Ryoko - Ok Tenchi. (Sasami, Kiyone, Mihoshi, Washu, Katsuhito, Nobuyuki and Ayeka are all sat around the table.) Sasami - Oh, breakfast is getting cold. Where could Ryoko and Tenchi be? Ayeka - Well. I searched everywhere for Miss Ryoko but I could not find that she-demon anywhere. Sasami - And I searched everywhere for Tenchi and I couldn't find him either. Ayeka - Well......you don't suppose that Miss Ryoko is with Lord Tenchi???? Kiyone - Now Ayeka, they will surely turn up soon. Ayeka - But...they cannot be together. I simply will not allow it (she stands up). It makes me so angry to think that that she-demon could be flirting with poor Lord Tenchi. He should not have to deal with such riffraff as her. I wish to know where they are. Miss Washu? You must know whether Lord Tenchi is with your daughter. Please tell me. Washu - Wait a second Miss Ayeka...what did you call me?? Ayeka - Oh. I mean Little Washu...could you please tell me whether Lord Tenchi is with Miss Ryoko? Washu - (smiles and opens her telepathic link with Ryoko) Ryoko - Washu - Ryoko - Washu - (smiles) Ryoko - Washu - Ryoko - Washu - Ryoko - (Ryoko closed her telepathic link with her mother.) Ayeka - Well Little Washu?? Washu - Ryoko and Tenchi are outside the house now. Ayeka - I knew that that demon was with Lord Tenchi. Oh...I'll tear her limb from limb for this. (Tenchi and Ryoko walk into the room. Tenchi smiles at Ryoko and then turns and smiles and everyone else sat around the table. Ayeka raises an eyebrow.) Ayeka - Oh Lord Tenchi, are you alright? Has this she-demon been bothering you? Here...come and sit down... Tenchi - Thank you Ayeka but no thanks. I have a very important and special announcement to make. Nobuyuki - (says eagerly) Have you chosen which girl Tenchi?? Tenchi - (turns red) Yes Dad, I have. Katsuhito - I hope you have made this choice from your heart Tenchi. That is the only way to ensure that it is a wise and just decision. Tenchi - I have grand-father. My choice comes from the bottom of my heart. (turns and faces all the girls) We have been all living together for a couple of years now and there is no time in those two years that I wished to be anyone else. I feel lucky to have you beautiful girls all feel the way you do about me but you cannot all belong to me. As much as I don't want to hurt your feelings, I cannot leave you all dangling on, waiting for me for so long. That is why, at long last, I have chosen one of you. This choice has not been easy but I knew from the first moment all of you girls all came into my life, there was only one of you I think that I could spend the rest of my life with. Only one of you who I longed for more than anything when you ventured away from me, only one person with whom I don't think I could live without. You have all been patient and I thank you for that. This decision comes from me as a whole, there is no part of me that does not agree to this - heart, body and soul. My partner is and will forever be. (faces all of the girls) RYOKO. (All gasp) Ryoko - ... Ayeka - But Lord Tenchi...why would you choose that she-demon. She is a wicked space pirate and... Tenchi - (raises his hand) I know that some of you may be a little shocked, if not (turns to Ryoko and holds her hand) overwhelmed by my decision but I will not change my mind. Ryoko - (smiles) Ayeka - That she-demon has bewitched him...that's it, Lord Tenchi...this cannot be your decision...it cannot, I refuse to believe it... (shakes) Tenchi - I understand how you must feel Ayeka but my decision is final and I will not change my mind. Ryoko has not changed me in anyway except made me realise how much I really love her. I care for you all but there is only one person in this room that has loved me all my life...that person is Ryoko. Ayeka - I...I...I understand Tenchi. If you want to be with that she-demon - fine. Just don't come near me with her ever again...(runs upstairs to her room sobbing) Tenchi - (tries to follow her but is held back by Sasami.) Sasami - (shakes her head) Just leave her be Tenchi, she will talk to you when she feels she is ready to. Tenchi - (nods his head and sighs) The rest of you are happy at my decision aren't you? Kiyone - I am very pleased for you Tenchi. Mihoshi - (starts crying) I...I am too Tenchi! Washu - (walks up to Tenchi) You take good care of my little Ryoko, Tenchi. Tenchi - (nods his head and smiles) But I think that she is quite capable of taking care of herself! Nobuyuki - (walks up to his son) I'm very proud of you son. (hugs his son tightly) You finally have a beautiful girlfriend!!! I'm so proud of you...I am, I am!!! Tenchi - (face-faults and turns blue as his dad squeezes him tighter.) Thanks, Dad. Katsuhito - So...Tenchi. You have chosen Ryoko...you have followed your heart...you have done well (gets up and walks back to the shrine.) Tenchi - (watches his grand-father leave with a quizzical look on his face.)So...(looks at Ryoko who hasn't said a word since Tenchi made his announcement.) Ryoko?? Are you alright? I've never known you to be lost for words (nervous laugh.) Ryoko - (walks up to Tenchi and embraces him.) Tenchi - (hugs Ryoko back.) Ryoko - (whispers in Tenchi's ear.) Thank you Tenchi. Thank you.
