Act 1 Scene 3 (this scene starts on the next day. Ryoko and Tenchi are asleep in their new double bed. The whole house is quiet. Not even Sasami is awake. The only person who is awake is Washu. She is busy in her lab, tapping away at her computer. Seeing as she is a goddess, she doesn't really need sleep.) Washu - Whew...thank goodness. My greatest scientific achievement for the day is complete. (looks around her lab) Oh...no-one's awake. Doll A - Washu, you're the greatest!! Doll B - You're the greatest at everything Washu!! Doll A - So Washu...what is this great invention of yours? What does it do? Washu - I'm glad you asked me that. It reacts on the time and space continuum and allows people to gaze into different time and dimensions. This machine can break everything possible. It can cause dimensional tears and allow others to venture to this dimension. Doll B - That is so great Washu!! Washu - Sadly, if I said that to everyone else, they wouldn't understand a word I said. Doll A - I don't know why Washu! It's quite simple to understand! Doll B - Yes Washu! Because you're a genius. Washu - Yes I am. I'M SUCH A GENIUS!!!!! (laughs) (Meanwhile, Sasami has woken up and has started to prepare breakfast in the kitchen.) Sasami - Hmmm, now, what should I prepare today for breakfast?? Ryo-Ohki - (enters into the kitchen) Carrots!! Sasami - (smiles) Well, that might be ok for you, Ryo-Ohki, but not all of us like to eat carrots first thing in the morning! Ryo-Ohki - (smile droops) Sasami - But that doesn't mean that I can't do some carrots for you!! (smiles) Ryo-Ohki - (smiles) Meow!!! (In Tenchi + Ryoko's bedroom) Tenchi - (wakes up)Oh...(looks out of the window) another glorious morning. Same as usual (looks down at Ryoko and smiles) or maybe not. Ryoko - (wakes up, stretches and looks at Tenchi) Good morning Tenchi. Tenchi - Good morning Ryoko. Did you sleep well? Ryoko - (smiles) Yes...(cuddles up to Tenchi) Yes I did now that I'm with you. Tenchi - (blushes bright red) Come on...we'd better get up. Ryoko - But it's sooooooo early Tenchi. (smiles slyly) Tenchi - (blushes again)Now Ryoko. Ryoko - What Tenchi? Tenchi - Not yet, not yet. Ryoko - (pouts) But Tenchi, I've been waiting forever for you, I don't know how much longer I can wait. Tenchi - (smiles) You can wait a day, can't you? Ryoko - (hugs Tenchi) Yes...(pulls him closer) yes, I can (kisses him) (15 minutes later, everyone is sat around the breakfast table - everyone including Ayeka.) Tenchi - So Ayeka, you decided to stay after all. Ayeka - Yes Tenchi... Sasami - I'm so glad you did Ayeka. Mihoshi - She's probably realised that Tenchi was her last chance to have any kind of husband. She's probably accepted the fact that she'll just have to live life as an old maid. Ayeka - (stands up and shouts) WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!!? Kiyone - (mutters) And Mihoshi does it again! Tenchi - Please Ayeka, calm down, I don't want the house to fall down. Ryoko - Well, there's not much chance of that happening...not unless I get involved in the fight which I refuse to do. Ayeka - Can I believe my ears? Has the space pirate gone soft since she got a boyfriend? Too scared now that I will beat her? (cackles) Ryoko - No Ayeka, too scared that this house will collapse and bury everyone under it. Ayeka - Oh really Miss Ryoko. As if it would ever do that with your pathetic powers. I am the princess of Jurai and I am gifted with lots of power. Power that you just do not have. (cackles) Ryoko - Oh yeah Ayeka? (shows Ayeka that she now has all 3 of her gems) Ayeka - How? How...how did you get those back?? Tenchi - I gave them back to her. Ayeka - Tenchi? You gave them back to her? Tenchi - Yes...because I trust her. Ayeka - You trust that she-demon? Tenchi - Yes...I trust her and don't call Ryoko that Ayeka. Ryoko - (smiles) And now that I have all 3 of my gems...I can unleash my goddess power, just like Washu. Now, I am as powerful as Tenchi. Tenchi - (smiles) Ayeka - Tenchi (grasps onto him) Are you sure that you trust her? Tenchi - (pulls Ayeka off him) Yes...I do Ayeka. Nobuyuki - (walks into the room) Tenchi!! I'm so proud of you!! You've taken another step forward on the road to becoming a man!! (squeezes his son tight) Tenchi - (face-faults and turns red) Dad! Have you been looking in my room again? Nobuyuki - Of course I have Tenchi!! Tenchi - (whispers to Ryoko) We really need to get a lock on our door! Ryoko - (laughs) Nobuyuki - Well Tenchi, are you going to tell everyone then? Tenchi - Dad, you're making too big a deal out of this. Nobuyuki - Can't I be proud of my son?? Tenchi - Yes but I wish that you weren't as nosy about my private life!! Nobuyuki - (wasn't paying attention to Tenchi's last comment) What did you say son? Tenchi - (sighs) Never mind. Nobuyuki - So...tell them then. Tenchi - DAD! Nobuyuki - What? Ryoko - We are going to be here all day!! (smiles) I'll tell them shall I? Tenchi - NO!! Nobuyuki - YES!! Ryoko - I'm gonna tell them anyway Tenchi (teleports right to his side) Whether you want me to or not. Tenchi - (blushes) Sasami - Well...tell us then Ryoko. Ryo-Ohki - Meow!! Ryoko - Well, I asked Washu... Washu - Hmmmm? Ryoko - I asked MOM... Washu - (smiles) Ryoko - ...whether she would do something for me. Mihoshi - What? Ryoko - I asked her whether she would make something for me. Mihoshi - What? Ryoko - I asked her whether she would make me a special bed. Kiyone - Hmmm? Ryoko - A DOUBLE BED! Mihoshi - So you and Tenchi are sleeping together (turns to talk to Ayeka) Oh...don't you think that is so sweet Ayeka?? Ayeka - (starts to boil with anger) Kiyone - You always say the wrong things Mihoshi!!!!! Mihoshi - (starts to cry) I'm sorry!! Ryoko and Tenchi - (roll eyes) (10 minutes later, when breakfast is finished) Washu - Well...now that everyone has finished, I would like to show you something that I have been working on. Sasami - What is it Washu? Washu - Follow me to my lab and I will show you. Ryoko - I'll come later Washu. Washu - Hmmm? Ryoko - I'll come later MOM! I'm just going to take a bath in the onsen. Tenchi? Are you coming? (smiles slyly) Tenchi - (smiles back) Alright Ryoko. Ayeka - (gasps as they leave) I can't believe that they are speaking like that when there are others around them. Sasami - They're in love Ayeka. They can speak how they like. Washu - (coughs) Anyway...come on. Come and see my great invention... Oh! I AM SUCH A GENIUS!! Everyone - (face-faults) (Meanwhile, Tenchi and Ryoko are walking to the onsen) Tenchi - What do you think it is that Washu has created Ryoko? Ryoko - I don't know Tenchi, something amazing probably that Mihoshi won't be able to resist in touching. Tenchi - (laughs) Yeah. (holds onto Ryoko's hand) Ryoko - (smiles) Come on Tenchi...I'll teleport us to the onsen myself. Tenchi - Ok Ryoko. (1 second later, they are in the onsen.) Ryoko - Ok Tenchi, I'll see you in a few minutes (starts to walk to the ladies onsen.) Tenchi - Wait Ryoko. Ryoko - (turns around) Yes Tenchi? Tenchi - (swallows) Why don't you come and take a bath with me? Ryoko - Really!? Tenchi - (smiles) Yes really. Ryoko - (smiles and looks at the sign on the men's side of the onsen which says 'Tenchi'.) Guess we'll have to change this sign then (quickly changes it so that it reads 'Tenchi and Ryoko's Bath.') That's better. Tenchi - (pulls Ryoko into the onsen) Much better. Ryoko - (smiles) Tenchi - I'll be back in a minute Ryoko (walks behind a tree and gets undressed and wraps a towel around his waist. When he comes out from behind the tree he notices that Ryoko is completely naked) (he blushes) Ryoko - (smiles) Well...you need to get used to this Tenchi. Tenchi - I guess I do...seeing as we are going to be together... Ryoko - Forever (she finished for him)Would you like me to wash your back Tenchi? Tenchi - (blushes again) Alright Ryoko. Ryoko - (gets a sponge out and starts to scrub Tenchi's back) (Meanwhile, the others are now in Washu's lab and are viewing her latest invention.) Washu - So...this is it. Mihoshi - So, what does it do Washu?? Washu - I'm glad you asked me that. This machine reacts on the time and space continuum and allows people to gaze into different time and dimensions. This machine can break everything possible. It can cause dimension tears and allow others to venture into this dimension...do you understand?? Mihoshi - (starts to nod her head and then shakes it) Sasami - I don't understand Washu. Washu - Oh...you people are hopeless! WITH THIS MACHINE YOU CAN SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN YOUR FUTURE AND CAN ALLOW PEOPLE FROM OTHER DIMENSIONS AND YOUR FUTURE TO COME HERE NOW! IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU?? Sasami - I understand now Washu. Mihoshi - (walks up to the machine) So...Washu, could it tell me the winning lottery numbers?? Washu - (shakes her head and sighs) No, Mihoshi it doesn't work like that. Mihoshi - (starts to press lots of buttons) Well, let's see, how does it work then?? Washu - (cries out) NO! STOP! YOU'LL BREAK IT!! Mihoshi - (ignores her) Let's see, I'll press a few buttons here...I wonder whether my future will be great...hmmm, I wonder whether I'll get married and... Kiyone - (pulls Mihoshi away from the machine)You never do anything right Mihoshi. Why can't you just leave things alone?? (The machine starts to cough and splutter) Kiyone - Now look what you've done Mihoshi. I just hope that we are not going to get hurled into different dimensions like we did last time. Mihoshi - Now, come on Kiyone. That wasn't entirely my fault. Kiyone - It never is. Washu - Oh, my machine. Mihoshi! What buttons did you press? Mihoshi - Erm... Kiyone - Oh Mihoshi!! (The machine starts to rattle faster and coughs more) Washu - Well, according to my computer (looks at her little laptop) Mihoshi pressed a button which causes a tear in the future. Ayeka - What does that mean Washu? Washu - It means Ayeka, that in a few seconds, we are going to have a visitor from the future with us. Ayeka - Oh, how exciting!! I wonder who it could be. Washu - You don't understand Ayeka. With all the buttons that Mihoshi pressed, it will take me a few days to get my machine operating correctly. That means that this person would be staying in our time period for a while. This could have disastrous results. Sasami - I understand Washu. The person could be very frightened. Washu - Plus...we have no idea who this person will be. If it turns out to be someone evil, we are in a lot of trouble. Mihoshi - Oh (grabs onto Kiyone) Kiyone, I'm scared!! Kiyone - (turns blue and tries to pry Mihoshi off her) (The lab is suddenly filled with a bright blue light and a figure suddenly appears in the middle of the light) Sasami - Look! (points towards the figure) Ryo-Ohki - Meow!! Ayeka - Who could it be?? Kiyone - (gets her galaxy police blaster out) Stand back everyone! They could be dangerous! Washu - I'm not sure whether your gun will be any good Kiyone. (The light gets brighter and suddenly the figure falls forward onto the floor and the light disappears. Everyone gasps.)
