Act 1 Scene 2 (this scene takes place 1 month later. Ryoko and Tenchi are still together and Ryoko is back to her usual self. Ayeka is now talking to Tenchi but refuses to talk to Ryoko. Washu has decided to now take her adult-goddess form permanently seeing as her daughter is finally growing up. Ryo-Ohki has decided to take her humanoid form permanently. She now takes the form of an 11yr old child so that she can play with Sasami.) (The sun rises over the hill and the bright light shines into Tenchi's room. A ray lands on Tenchi's face and he wakes up - smiling.) Tenchi - Another lovely day (removes his covers and puts his feet on the floor.) Hmmmm. Too nice a day to work but...I guess I'll have to. Sword practise today aswell. I'll have to be prepared, Grandpa has been increasing the pressure on me lately. Chores...a couple of days of rest are needed I think. (looks up at the ceiling and sees Ryoko floating over his bed as usual.) (coughs) Ryoko - (wakes up, stretches and looks down lovingly at Tenchi) Good morning... Tenchi - (smiles) You can say it if you want Ryoko. Ryoko - Good morning My Tenchi. Tenchi - (smiles again) Ryoko - (floats down and sits beside Tenchi on his bed)Did you sleep well Tenchi? Tenchi - Fine Ryoko. Did you? Ryoko - (smiles at Tenchi) Yes I did Tenchi. (lies her head on Tenchi's shoulder) Oh...I love you so much Tenchi. Tenchi - (face turns red) I... Ryoko - You're still as shy as the first day I met you.(smiles) Tenchi - I love you too Ryoko. Ryoko? Ryoko - Yes Tenchi? Tenchi - Would you like to...er...that is...move into my room with me? Ryoko - (looks at Tenchi in a surprise and excited way) You mean it Tenchi? (squeals and hugs him tight.) Tenchi - (face turns red again and nose starts to bleed) Well...you usually spend most of your time here now anyway and I...kinda miss you when your not in here. Ryoko - You do??? Tenchi - (nods his head) When Kagato kidnapped you, I was inconsolable. Ayeka didn't want me to go and rescue you but I could not stand the thought of losing you. Ryoko - Ayeka!! What are we going to tell her if she sees me moving my stuff into your room? Tenchi - Well...I think that she might still be asleep at the moment so go and get all your stuff now! Ryoko - Ok my Tenchi (kisses him on the cheek and then teleports herself to her bedroom.) Hmmm? Now...how should I take all my stuff...I know!!! (using her telekinesis power, she picks up everything from her room apart from the furniture and allows it to float in the air.) Right...I think that's everything. Ok, forward march!! (giggles and floats along the corridor with her stuff following behind her. She approaches Tenchi's door and knocks.) Tenchi, it's me. Tenchi - (opens the door and gasps) I forgot that you could do that Ryoko. (laughs) Come on then ... come into my room. Ryoko - That's the first time you've actually invited me into your room! Tenchi - (laughs) And hopefully, that will be the last time that I will have to invite you into my room aswell! Ryoko - (giggles and gives Tenchi a warm smile) Come on then...let's put all my stuff away. Tenchi - Ok, I'll give you a hand. Ryoko - Well...do you have enough wardrobe space for all my clothes?? Tenchi - I should have...if not, I'm sure I can make space. Ryoko - Hey Tenchi (throws an item of clothing at Tenchi) CATCH!!!! Tenchi - (is too late and the item of clothing (which happens to be a pair of Ryoko's undergarments) lands on his head) Ryoko - (bursts out laughing.) Tenchi - Right (pulls the undergarments off his head) This means war!! (he starts chasing Ryoko around the room trying to grab hold of her.) Ryoko - (squeals with delight) Tenchi - Ryoko...I'm gonna get you!!! (laughs) Ryoko - You have to catch me first Tenchi!!! (laughs) Tenchi - (runs around after Ryoko who starts to fly in the air) Oh Ryoko!! Not fair!!! (laughs) (While this is going on, all of the laughing and noise has happened to wake up the resident pervert of the house - Tenchi's Dad.) Nobuyuki - What's all that noise?? (gets out of bed) I'd better investigate. (walks down the corridor) Oh, all that noise is coming from Tenchi's room. I wonder what's going on? (looks through a crack in the door and sees Tenchi chasing Ryoko around the room. He looks on the floor and notices a big pile of clothes, magazines, cosmetics and so on.) Hmmm? What's going on here then?? (finally twigs on what's going on! Starts to laugh and cry) Tenchi - (stops running) What's that noise? Ryoko - (stops flying around and floats to the ground) What noise? Tenchi - (grabs Ryoko and pulls her onto the bed) Ah-ha!! Got'cha!! (laughs) Ryoko - (laughs) You cheater Tenchi!!! (pulls Tenchi closer and kisses him) Tenchi - (returns the kiss and then pulls away) Come on Ryoko!! We'd better finish unpacking your things otherwise we'll be late for breakfast. Ryoko - (pouts) But Tenchi... Tenchi - (puts his index finger on Ryoko's lip) There is plenty of time for that sort of stuff later. Now come and help me move all my stuff around. (30 mins later - the Masaki family and others are sat around the table eating breakfast.) Mihoshi - This is good Sasami...you have really outdone yourself today. Is it someone's birthday or something?? Kiyone - You never remember anything do you??? Sasami - No, no special occasion. I just felt like cooking something different today. Tenchi - Well it is very good Sasami. Ryoko - When isn't it? (smiles at Sasami) Nobuyuki - (whispers in Tenchi's ear) When are you going to make the announcement then?? Tenchi - (turns bright red) Dad, how do you know?? Nobuyuki - I saw you and Ryoko messing around in your room. Am I right then? Has she moved into your room?? Tenchi - (sighs) Yes, she has Dad. Nobuyuki - (squeezes his son in one big hug and shouts out) This is another step forward to becoming a real man Tenchi. I'm so proud of you!!!! Tenchi - (sighs) Ryoko - (grins) (Everyone else looks puzzled) Nobuyuki - Well, Tenchi? Aren't you going to tell everyone?? Tenchi - Well, there isn't really that much to tell. Nobuyuki - This is a big step forward Tenchi. I want everyone to know!! Tenchi - Well, what if I don't?? Nobuyuki - I'll tell them if you don't!! Tenchi - (sighs) Alright! I'll tell them. (grabs hold of Ryoko's hand and stands up) Ryoko and I have a big announcement to make. Mihoshi - You're getting married?? Ayeka - You're splitting up? (asked hopefully) Sasami - You're having a baby? Tenchi - No, no and no. We have decided that sleeping in separate rooms is now ridiculous considering our current circumstances. So...about 30 minutes ago, Ryoko moved all of her stuff into my room. We have decided to now sleep together in the same room. Ayeka - I knew that this day would soon come. The evil has fallen upon us all. I don't think that I can stand much more of this. That is why I have decided to leave here and return to Jurai. (turns toward Sasami) Sasami, you may stay here if you wish but I see no reason for me to stay here. Tenchi - Ayeka, now please reconsider. Ayeka - No Tenchi. I can see that you are not going to leave the she-demon so I might aswell leave myself. I have already asked my family to send down a spaceship for me to travel home in. I will not change my mind. (turns toward Sasami) Sasami? Do you wish to stay or do you wish to leave with me? Sasami - If I may Ayeka, I wish to stay here with the others. Ayeka - Alright, if that is your decision (walks upstairs) Tenchi - Well, I didn't see that coming. Ryoko - I'm as surprised as you. Washu - I certainly did NOT see that coming. Ryoko - Well, what are we going to do Tenchi?? Should we follow her? Katsuhito - No, I will go and find her (walks up and goes up the stairs to Ayeka's bedroom.) (Meanwhile, upstairs in Ayeka and Sasami's bedroom.) Ayeka - I cannot believe that Tenchi is still going out with that she-demon. He should have chosen me... oh why didn't he choose me? (sobs) Katsuhito - (walks into the room) Ayeka, are you alright? Ayeka - (wipes her eyes) Oh...yes grandfather, I'm fine. Katsuhito - Why are you leaving Ayeka?? Ayeka - Well...because...because Tenchi is with that she-demon. Is there something wrong with me? First Yosho leaves me and now Tenchi (starts to cry) Why? Katsuhito - Tenchi still cares for you Ayeka. Ayeka - Yes, but he loves Ryoko. Katsuhito - Still, you should not leave just for this. Ayeka - Anyway, I only came here to find Yosho and to take a short vacation. Now, I have discovered that Yosho is not here and that my vacation is now over. I must leave...I must return to Jurai. Katsuhito - Well...if you are leaving Ayeka...I have no choice but to go with you. Ayeka - Why grandfather...I do not need a keeper. I am quite capable of looking after myself. Anyway...I have Azaka and Kamidake to look after me...they are the royal guardians anyway. Katsuhito - Well...if you won't allow me to go with you...I must try to make you stay. Ayeka - Grandfather...you may be from Jurai, but that does not give you the right to keep me here against my will. Katsuhito - (stands in Ayeka's way) Ayeka - Grandfather, this is ridiculous, please get out of my way. Katsuhito - (stands in front of Ayeka again.) Ayeka - Azaka! Kamidake! Azaka and Kamidake - Yes Miss Ayeka? Ayeka - Can you please move grandfather out of the way? Katsuhito - Azaka, Kamidake, stand down... Azaka and Kamidake - Yes, sir. Ayeka - AZAKA! KAMIDAKE! PLEASE REMOVE GRANDFATHER FROM MY PATH!! Katsuhito - Azaka, Kamidake, stand down. Azaka and Kamidake - Yes sir. Ayeka - What? Why... Katsuhito - (turns around and walk towards the door) I expect to see you at the breakfast table tomorrow Ayeka. (walks out of the door.) Ayeka - How? (watches Katsuhito leave and gasps) (Meanwhile in Tenchi's room.) Tenchi - Do you think that Ayeka will really leave?? Ryoko - I don't know Tenchi. Tenchi - I hope she doesn't. Ryoko - (starts to get jealous) You do? Tenchi - (sees Ryoko's expression) But...she's only a friend...that's all. Ryoko - Are you sure Tenchi? I know that she wants more. Tenchi - I know...but you're the only one I want. Ryoko - Really Tenchi?? Tenchi - Yes, really. Ryoko - Oh Tenchi (hugs him tight) Tenchi - (face turns red. Hugs Ryoko back) Ryoko - Tenchi, I have waited forever to be with you and now that I am...I can't believe it. I feel like I'm living a dream. A deep sleep that I don't want to wake up from. Tenchi - Well...you should believe it. This is real life Ryoko. And I am now trying to make up for those two years that I left you waiting for me. When you left after the Kagato fight and I never heard from you for a long period of time...I was seriously worried for you. You were seriously injured the last time I saw you and I was hoping and praying that you were still alive. And then... when I saw you that day when all the cherry blossom was falling...I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me - I couldn't believe that you were back and that you were safe. I was in shock but I was so glad to see you... Ryoko - (puts index finger on Tenchi's lip) There is plenty of time for that LATER. Now...I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes my Tenchi. (smiles) Tenchi - (closes his eyes and smiles) Ryoko - Ok now...open your eyes! Tenchi - (Tenchi opens his eyes and gasps) Ryoko! (He looks at the small object in Ryoko's hand) Is that what I think it is? Ryoko - What do you think it is? (smiles slyly) Tenchi - A...A...A double bed. Ryoko - Yes, it is my Tenchi. I had Washu make it for us. She made it this small so that I could carry it easily and hide it from you till the right moment. So...(smiles and moves closer to Tenchi) What do you think? Tenchi - (face turns illuminous red and his nose starts to bleed) Well...er...I... Ryoko - (face looks hurt) You do want us to sleep together, don't you Tenchi? We are a proper couple now, after all. Tenchi - (pulls himself together) Yes...Yes I do Ryoko. You know how much I care and love you, it's just...well...you know how shy I am. Ryoko - (face brightens up) Oh Tenchi! Stand back, I'll just change this thing to it's normal size and... Tenchi - (holds his hand up) Wait Ryoko! (runs to a cupboard and pulls out sword Tenchi-ken) I have a present for you Ryoko, to show how much I trust you now. I would like you to have your other two gems. Think of them as a present to show you how much I love and trust you. Here (hands Ryoko the sword) Take them. Ryoko - (is very surprised) Tenchi...I don't know what to say. Now I know that you must truly love me. (starts to cry) Tenchi - Hey hey don't cry Ryoko (hugs Ryoko) Ryoko - Oh Tenchi (hugs Tenchi back) Tenchi - Go on then...take your gems, I'm due for a practise against grandpa in 10 mins. Ryoko - Alright Tenchi Tenchi - (grasps one end of the sword) Ryoko - (grasps the other end and the gems in the sword start to glow. Slowly they start to disappear. Then one reappears on Ryoko's right wrist. Then the second one starts to disappear and reappears on her neck. She then starts to cry again.) Oh Tenchi. This is the most wonderful gift that anyone has even given me. No-one has ever trusted in me, no-one except Ryo-Ohki. Oh Tenchi!! I...I... Tenchi - It's ok Ryoko. I know. Ryoko - Tenchi (pulls herself towards Tenchi) Tenchi - (kisses Ryoko) Come on Ryoko...what about that bed?
