Act 2 Scene 1 (this scene takes place the next day - Day 1 of Bijoshi's stay in this time period.) (the sun shines through Tenchi and Ryoko's open bedroom window. Tenchi stirs and wakes up.) Tenchi - (looks down at Ryoko whose head is lying on top of Tenchi's chest and smiles. He starts to stroke her long, cyan hair.) Ryoko - (starts to purr.) Tenchi - (smiles and strokes her hair faster.) Ryoko - (purrs even more.) Tenchi - (smiles again and starts to drag his index finger down Ryoko's back.) I know you're awake Ryoko, you're heart's beating faster and your breathing has quickened. Ryoko - (opens her eyes and looks up at Tenchi) Good morning Tenchi. Tenchi - (smiles) Good morning Ryoko. Ryoko - Last night was good, wasn't it Tenchi? (smiles slyly) Tenchi - (blushes) Yes it was Ryoko. Come on, we'd better get up (starts to get out of the bed.) Ryoko - (pulls him down so that she is laid on top of him.) Tenchi - (laughs) Ryoko! Ryoko - (starts to kiss him) I. Don't. Wanna. Get. Up. (she says in between kisses.) Tenchi - (smiles) Come on, stop fooling around. The others will be wondering were we are. Ryoko - Let them wonder. I'd rather spend some time with you - alone. Tenchi - (picks Ryoko up and sets her on the ground.) Later...much later. Ryoko - (smiles) Alright, let's get ready and go downstairs. (transforms herself into a light pink dress.) I'm ready. Tenchi - (gasps as he sees Ryoko) You look very...very beautiful Ryoko. Ryoko - (smiles) Why, thank you Tenchi. (Meanwhile, Sasami is busy downstairs preparing breakfast. She is then joined by Bijoshi.) Bijoshi - Good morning Sasami. Is there anything that I can help you with? Sasami - Good morning Bijoshi. No, I'm nearly finished but thank you anyway. Ryo-Ohki - Meow!! Bijoshi - (startled) Oh! Who is this then? Sasami - This is Ryo-Ohki. Isn't she with you in the future? Bijoshi - Well...we have a Ryo-Ohki but in the future, she is completely human. My father said that Washu made her completely human. She is actually my nanny in the future, she takes care of me. Sasami - (gasps) So...how old is Ryo-Ohki in the future then? Bijoshi - Well...she is 20, I think. Sasami - (turns towards Ryo-Ohki) Did you hear that Ryo-Ohki? You become human in the future!! Ryo-Ohki - Meow!! Bijoshi - (smiles) I guess a lot happens between your time period and mine. Sasami - (smiles) I guess it does. Bijoshi? Bijoshi - Yes Sasami? Sasami - Could you please go and get Ayeka, Tenchi, Ryoko, father, Kiyone and Mihoshi and tell them that breakfast is ready. Bijoshi - Of course Sasami. What about great-grandfather and grandmother? Sasami - I'll go and get Washu and grandfather, don't worry. Bijoshi - (smiles) Ok. (15 minutes later, everyone is sat around the table, everyone except Washu.) Bijoshi - Where is grandmother, Sasami? Sasami - Washu said that she wasn't hungry. She often misses meals. Bijoshi - Oh right. Sasami - (smiles and looks over at Ryoko and Tenchi who are gazing lovingly into each others eyes.) You two seem in an exceptionally happy mood today. Tenchi - (blushes) Erm...well...erm... Nobuyuki - I know why!! Tenchi - DAD!! You haven't, have you? Nobuyuki - What Tenchi? Tenchi - Been spying on me and Ryoko again? Nobuyuki - Yeah, of course I have, I need to check on my son's progress through life. (gives Tenchi a bone-crushing hug.) Ryoko - (smiles and laughs) Nobuyuki - You're not getting out of it Ryoko (grabs Ryoko and gives her a big hug) Ryoko and Tenchi - (sigh and face-fault.) Nobuyuki - Oh...(wipes a tear from his eye) I am soooooo happy!!! Mihoshi - What? What is it? Nobuyuki - Oh! Tenchi and Ryoko... Tenchi - DAD!! Nobuyuki - What? Anyway, as I was saying, Tenchi and Ryoko made love last night!! Everyone - (gasps) Tenchi - (blushes) Ryoko - (smiles) Nobuyuki - (looks like he's gonna burst with pride.) I was thinking of taking some pictures with my camera but I decided against it. Tenchi - YOU WHAT??? Ryoko - (laughs) Kiyone - Well...I'm pleased for both of you. Sasami - Me too. Ayeka - I can't believe it...Tenchi, you...you and Ryoko? Tenchi - Yes Ayeka, it's true. Ayeka - I simply cannot believe it...that she-demon is with you Tenchi. You are from a royal background and you chose that she-demon as your girlfriend. Well...she will never become Queen of Jurai, not while I'm here. Sasami - Ayeka... Ayeka - No Sasami, I will never allow that...that creature to be in charge of Jurai. She must not...she will not... Yosho - But remember Ayeka, if Tenchi decides to take the throne, you have to step down. There is nothing you can do about it. Anyway Ayeka, we already know that Tenchi and Ryoko take the Jurai throne. There is nothing that you can do to alter the future. Ayeka - I will never allow it...(turns to Tenchi) Tenchi, I don't want you to ever speak to me again. I thought that you would eventually come to your senses and realise that choosing that she-demon was a bad idea but you haven't. I don't want you or her anywhere near me. (runs upstairs.) Tenchi - Well, (turns to Ryoko) What are we going to do now? Ryoko - I don't know Tenchi. Bijoshi has already said that we take the throne in the future and that I become friends with Ayeka but, I cannot see that ever happening at the moment. Bijoshi - It will happen, I have been there. Don't worry too much about it. I cannot tell you how it happens but you will find out for yourself shortly. Tenchi - (smiles) I guess we will just have to wait for that moment to happen. (turns to Ryoko) In the mean time, we will just have to face the consequences that my decision has brought upon the house. Ryoko - (sighs) I guess we will. (about 30 minutes later, Tenchi and Ryoko are taking a walk together through the woods near the Masaki shrine. Tenchi is on his way to train with his grandfather.) Ryoko - (envelops Tenchi in a big hug) Tenchi - (smiles) Ryoko - Oh, it feels so good to be able to hug you without you pushing me away. Tenchi - Well I have changed...(blushes) Ryoko - Not much though. (laughs) Tenchi - (smiles and pulls Ryoko right by his side.) Ryoko - (giggles and suddenly snatches Tenchi's bokken away from him.) Tenchi - Hey Ryoko!! Come back with that!! (laughs and chases Ryoko through the woods.) Ryoko - (laughs) Come and get it then Tenchi!! Yosho - (coughs) TENCHI!!! Are you ready for practise? Tenchi - (grabs onto Ryoko and pulls her to the ground, laughing) I'll take that (grabs his bokken) and you can have this (kisses Ryoko) I'll see you later, ok? Ryoko - Ok Tenchi, don't be too late (disappears.) Tenchi - (smiles) Yosho - TENCHI!! Tenchi - Coming grandpa! Yosho - So...Tenchi, how are you and Ryoko getting along? Tenchi - Better than ever grandpa. I can't believe that I waited all of this time to tell her how much she means to me. Yosho - I am glad that you are happy Tenchi. Tenchi - Thank you grandpa. Yosho - (suddenly produces a needle with some glowing substance in it.) Tenchi - What is that grandpa? (asks worried) Yosho - (puts the needle in Tenchi's arm and removes it just as quickly as it went in.) There...done. Tenchi - (is slightly stunned and angry.) What was that for?????? Yosho - That was Ryoko's powers copied. Tenchi - What? Yosho - Well...haven't you been slightly curious as to what Washu was doing this morning? Tenchi - Fixing the machine? Yosho - Apart from that. Tenchi - (sighs) What was she doing? Yosho - She was duplicating Ryoko's powers so that she could give them to you. It was her idea and mine to give you Ryoko's powers aswell as your own. If you are going to battle Tokimi in the future, you are going to need to be stronger than you are now. That is why I injected you with that glowing substance - Ryoko's powers. Washu is now doing the same to Ryoko, injecting her with your powers so that you are both equally strong. With both sets of power inside you both, your power level reaches 1,000 points EACH! Tenchi - WOW!! So Ryoko will have my powers and I will have hers... Yosho - Yes...and this is an ever-lasting effect aswell. Tenchi - So...I will have Ryoko's powers forever? Yosho - Yes...which is why Washu and I have decided that it is best for you two to spar together. You are both equally matched so you will both know what you are up against. But beware of surprises. Tenchi - I will grandpa. Yosho - Now...I will take you to Ryoko so she can teach you what you need to know and vice versa. (10 minutes later, Yosho and Washu have disappeared and Ryoko and Tenchi are in the training ground together.) Ryoko - (is still slightly stunned) So...the same happened to you then? Tenchi - Yep. Grandpa just produced this needle and injected me with your powers before I had any say in it. Ryoko - Well, Washu jumped me when I went into her lab to see how she was doing on her machine. She gave me a fright. Tenchi - So...now we have each others powers. Ryoko - Yeah. Tenchi - Woah! Ryoko, what did you just do? I could hear you talking but your lips didn't move! Ryoko - I was talking to you telepathically Tenchi. You try it, it is one of my powers. Just imagine yourself saying the words but in your head and I will hear them. Washu can hear them too. If you want to close your link just stop talking and imagine that you have gone dumb in your head. That closes the link. Tenchi - ok Ryoko, I'll try Ryoko - Tenchi - Ryoko - (smiles) See how easy it is? Tenchi - Yeah! Ryoko - You will also be able to talk to Ryo-Ohki now and understand what she says. Tenchi - Finally, I'll be able to understand all of that meowing she does!! Ryoko - (smiles) You know Tenchi, we don't have to practise today. Tenchi - (blushes) Erm...what...wh-at did you have in mind Ryoko? Ryoko - Well, I was thinking of taking a fly, you and me together. Tenchi - Well (smiles) I'm game, just show me how and we'll get out of here. Ryoko - (smiles) Well, just imagine yourself lifting off the ground. Tenchi - That's all? Ryoko - That's all. Tenchi - (closes his eyes and concentrates on rising into the air) Ryoko - Tenchi, open your eyes. Tenchi - (opens his eyes and discovers that he is floating in the air, quite far above the ground) Woah!! Ryoko - (flies up beside him) Take my hand Tenchi and we'll go on a journey far away. Tenchi - (takes Ryoko's hand and they suddenly shoot off forward and an incredible speed) (laughs) Ryoko - (looks at Tenchi and smiles) Let's go over to that caf‚ and spook the people out (laughs) Tenchi - (smiles) Alright. Ryoko - (grasps Tenchi's hand tighter and they both swoop down towards the caf‚) HELLO DOWN THERE!! (Two business men from England, John and David, are sat down at the caf‚, discussing some new ways to get their computer business up and running.) David - So...John, what do you think? John - I think that...(looks up and sees Ryoko and Tenchi in the sky) that we're in trouble!! David - (looks up and sees Ryoko and Tenchi. Ryoko is laughing and waving to the men. Tenchi is smiling but blushing.) Ah...oh those Japanese people are strange. So...anyway John, what should we do. John - But David...can't you see them, they're flying without aid. There's nothing holding them up...(continues to look at Ryoko and Tenchi) David - Oh don't be so silly John. Of course something must be holding them up, no-one can fly by themselves. John - Well, these two seem to be able to. (gazes up at Ryoko and sees her teaching Tenchi how to form an energy sword.) Er...David, I don't think that those two are from this planet. David - You mean...like aliens? John - Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. (is very worried now) David - (looks up and now sees Ryoko teaching Tenchi how to use telekinesis. Suddenly, chairs from the caf‚ start to float up into the air) Ah...I see your point John. I think that now might be a good time to end our meeting. (starts to get up) Let's re-schedule it for some other time (starts to run away) and some other place. John - (follows David) I agree. David - (gets round a corner and then looks up to discover that Ryoko and Tenchi have disappeared. He takes off his glasses, rubs them on his shirt and then puts them back on again.) I think I need a holiday...or a stronger pair of glasses. Ryoko - Oh...that was fun, don't you agree Tenchi? Tenchi - (smiles) Yeah, it was quite funny but you shouldn't scare people like that Ryoko. Ryoko - Why not? It was so funny to watch. The looks on those men's faces were great. I wish I had a camera or something with me! Tenchi - Well, we're not supposed to be attracting attention to ourselves or people will ask questions. Ryoko - Oh, who cares if people ask questions. Look Tenchi, (points to the ground where there appears to be a carnival in the middle of the town.) I can see the haunted house, wouldn't it be great now if it was really haunted? (smiles slyly) Tenchi - Now Ryoko, I'm not sure whether that would be a good idea......(cries out as Ryoko drags Tenchi down to the ground.) Ryoko - Right...(looks around and creeps behind the haunted house.) Are you coming Tenchi? Tenchi - (arms crossed) I'd rather stay here Ryoko. We've caused enough trouble today as it is. Ryoko - (teleports herself near Tenchi and whispers in his ear) Oh but my Tenchi, the fun has only just got started. (grabs hold of Tenchi and teleports him inside the haunted house.) Tenchi - Ryoko!! Ryoko - (puts a finger on Tenchi's lips) Ssshh, Tenchi this is a perfect time for you to learn another one of my powers, phasing through solid objects like walls and such. Tenchi - (sighs) Alright Ryoko, you win. What do I have to do? Ryoko - (smiles) Well, you have to imagine that the object that you are about to go through isn't there. Then, you just fly or walk up to it and keep on going until you are completely inside it. Then just continue going until you hit the other side. Ok? Tenchi - Right...I think I can manage that. (walks up to a wall and concentrates about going through it. Sadly, he doesn't concentrate hard enough and ends up banging his head against the wall) Owwww!! Ryoko - (laughs) Try again Tenchi! This time, concentrate harder. Tenchi - (tries again and this time successfully goes through the wall. He then comes back through it again) Hey! I did it! Ryoko - (smiles) Now we can put it to the test. Tenchi - What do you mean? Ryoko - I mean this (pulls Tenchi through the wall so they are in the middle of it) Don't make a sound and when I give the word, pop your head through the wall, ok? Tenchi - (sighs) Alright. Ryoko - (listens carefully for the sound of a cart travelling along the track. She soon hears one coming.) Get ready Tenchi, on the count of three...1,2,3!! (Tenchi and Ryoko both poke their heads through the wall.) Ryoko - Hello! (the two children in the cart scream and start to cry) Ryoko - What did I do? I only said hello! (this causes the children to scream even louder) Ryoko - (shrugs her shoulders) Come on Tenchi! Let's go and find somewhere else to cause mischief. Tenchi - (rolls his eyes and sighs) Ryoko - (grabs hold of Tenchi and pulls him through the wall) Come on!! (when the two children, a little girl and a little boy reach the end of the track, they both jump out of the cart and run to their mother crying.) Mother - What's the matter? Was it very scary? Boy - (nods head) There were two people who just came out of no-where. Girl - They stuck their heads through a wall and the woman said hello. Boy - They were real people mummy. Girl - And they did it themselves. Mother - Don't be silly, real people can't stick their heads through walls, they would bang their heads on the wall. Now calm down and we'll go and get some ice- creams. Girl and boy - (both look back and see Ryoko and Tenchi flying through the air away from the haunted house. They pull on their mother's shirt) That's the people mummy. Mother - (looks up to where the children are pointing and gasps) They...they...are (she faints) Girl - I bet she believes us now. Boy - Yeah! Tenchi - Ryoko, I think that we should be getting back now. The others will be wondering where we are. Ryoko - Oh...let them wonder. Aren't you having fun Tenchi? Tenchi - (sighs) It is fun Ryoko but I don't think that it is fun for the people who see us doing these things. Remember, they've never seen any from space before, never mind someone who has extra-ordinary powers like you. Ryoko - I guess. (smiles at Tenchi) Alright Tenchi, you win. We'll go back. Tenchi - Thank you Ryoko. Ryoko - (smiles) However, there is one thing I want to do before we go back. Do you know how to use your teleportion power? Tenchi - No, why? Ryoko - Well...I was thinking of going somewhere but...oh, you'll never agree to it. Never mind Tenchi, let's go back home (turns around to go back) Tenchi - (grabs onto Ryoko's arm) No Ryoko, what were you going to say? Ryoko - (smiles) Well, I was thinking about going to the planet Jurai. They have some excellent shops and things to buy there Tenchi. We can go and walk outside in the gardens and... Tenchi - (puts a finger on Ryoko's lips) It's sounds fun Ryoko. Ryoko - Really? Tenchi - (smiles) Yes...we can go. Ryoko - (grabs Tenchi in a hug) Oh thank you Tenchi. Tenchi - We will need to tell the others where we are going first though Ryoko. Ryoko - (sighs) Alright Tenchi (pulls him down to the ground to a phone box) I'll ring home and tell them where we are going (pulls some money out of a pocket) (Meanwhile, Ayeka is walking through the house looking for Tenchi) Ayeka - Oh...where could Lord Tenchi be? He is usually around the house somewhere. (Suddenly the telephone rings) Ayeka - I'll get it! (runs to the phone) Hello, the Masaki household. Ryoko - (whispers to Tenchi) Oh great, it's Ayeka. Tenchi - (takes the phone from Ryoko) I'll talk to her then Ryoko. Ryoko - Ok. Tenchi - Ayeka, it's me Tenchi. Ayeka - Oh Tenchi, where are you? I have been looking everywhere for you. I have been worried about you. Ryoko - (gags) Tenchi - (laughs) Ayeka - It's not funny Tenchi. Tenchi - Oh...I wasn't laughing at you Ayeka. I was laughing at Ryoko. Ayeka - That she-demon? Oh Tenchi, where are you? I'll come and get you straight away! Tenchi - No Ayeka. I'm alright. I just called you to tell you that me and Ryoko are going to Jurai for the rest of the day... Ryoko - (interrupts) And the night. Tenchi - (looks at Ryoko) Ryoko - Well...we might aswell stay the night Tenchi. Tenchi - (sighs) Alright Ryoko. Ryoko - (smiles) Tenchi - We are staying the night aswell Ayeka. I just called so that you wouldn't be worried about where we are. Ayeka - You are staying the night on Jurai? Tenchi - Yes Ayeka. So just tell the others where we are and not to worry about us, ok? Ayeka - But Tenchi... Tenchi - Yes? Ayeka - Nothing, I'll tell them. Tenchi - Thank you Ayeka (puts the phone down) Ryoko - Is everything ok Tenchi? Tenchi - Yes, fine. Ryoko - (grabs Tenchi in a hug) Come on Tenchi, I'll teleport us both there. I can always teach you how to teleport later. Tenchi - Alright. (Meanwhile, Ayeka is walking through the house. Sasami comes into the house after playing outside with Ryo-Ohki) Sasami - Hey Ayeka! Ayeka - Oh...Sasami. Sasami - Where's Tenchi and Ryoko, Ayeka? Ayeka - They've gone to Jurai for the rest of the day and the night. Sasami - Oh, I'd better tell father and grandfather that Tenchi won't be joining us for dinner. Ayeka - (smiles) I guess. Sasami - Are you alright Ayeka? Ayeka - (sighs) Yes Sasami, I'm fine. (On Jurai, in a big shopping centre) Ryoko - (pulls out a shirt) Oh Tenchi, you would look wonderful in this. Tenchi - (smiles) Ryoko, you shouldn't be looking at things for me. We came here to look at the shops for you. Ryoko - Well...I can look at stuff for you aswell, can't I? For my lovely guy. Tenchi - (blushes) If you want Ryoko, you can. Ryoko - (picks up about 6 changes of clothes for Tenchi and 6 for herself) Come on, we'll go and try these on and give each other our opinions. Tenchi - Alright. (Tenchi eventually tried all of his clothes on and was waiting for Ryoko to come out in her last outfit - a light blue short dress) Ryoko - TENCHI! I'm coming out now. Tenchi - I'm ready Ryoko. Ryoko - (opens the curtain) So...what do you think?? Tenchi - (mouth is wide open) Er...erm...you...er... Ryoko - Hmmmm? Tenchi - (swallows) You look very beautiful in it Ryoko. That is your best outfit so far. Ryoko - You don't think that it makes me look fat, do you? Tenchi - Far from it. Ryoko - (smiles) Right, let's get all of these clothes then. Everything looked great on you Tenchi. Tenchi - Alright Ryoko. (they both walk up to the cashier who runs their stuff through the till) Tenchi - (looks at the overall cost) Ryoko! I don't have that kind of money on me. Ryoko - Oh...I wouldn't worry about that Tenchi. Tenchi - What do you mean? Cashier - Wait a moment, aren't you Prince Tenchi? Tenchi - (looks at Ryoko) Prince Tenchi?? Ryoko - Well, because you are related to Yosho, that makes you a prince of Jurai. Tenchi - (looks at the cashier) Well...I guess I am then. Cashier - Well then, I insist that you take all of these clothes free, your highness. Tenchi - But... Ryoko - Leave it Tenchi, if they want us to take the clothes, just take them. Tenchi - (puzzled) Ok. Ryoko - (walks out of the shop) Well, that was lucky, wasn't it Tenchi? Tenchi - I'll say. Ryoko - (grabs hold of Tenchi) Come on Tenchi, I see a jewellery shop with necklaces to die for. (many shops later) Tenchi - (sighs) I feel really bad taking all of this stuff without paying. Ryoko - Tenchi, stop worrying. They've offered it to you. It would be rude not to take it. Now, come on. Let's go for a walk through the gardens. (Walk towards the gardens but are stopped by a young man by the name of Hanubi) Hanubi - (taps Tenchi on the shoulder) Excuse me, but aren't you Prince Tenchi? Tenchi - (sighs) Yes I am, but you don't have to call me Prince Tenchi. Hanubi - Well your highness, I was wondering whether I may take your photograph for our newspaper. Tenchi - (looks at Ryoko) I shouldn't see why not. Hanubi - Well, if you would just like to come this way, your Highness. Tenchi - (follows Hanubi) Hanubi - (looks at Ryoko) Excuse me miss but I am about to take a picture of his highness Prince Tenchi and you are blocking the shot. Tenchi - (taps Hanubi on the shoulder) Excuse me. Hanubi - Yes, your Highness. Tenchi - This beautiful woman happens to be my girlfriend. I refuse to be in any picture without her. Ryoko - (smiles at Tenchi) Tenchi - (smiles back) Hanubi - Oh...I am dreadfully sorry your Highness. I had no idea. Tenchi - It's alright and enough with the 'your Highness'. Just call me Tenchi. Hanubi - Yes, your Highness. Tenchi - (rolls his eyes) (Hanubi proceeds to take lots of pictures of Tenchi and Ryoko, including one were Tenchi and Ryoko are kissing) Hanubi - Ok, I think that's enough. Thank you for your co-operation, your Highness. Tenchi - No problem. (turns to Ryoko) Come on Ryoko, I believe that you owe me a walk in the gardens. Ryoko - (smiles) (Meanwhile, back at the Masaki house, Washu is still busy trying to fix the machine) Washu - Whew...this machine is totally mixed up. Why can't Mihoshi just leave things alone? I must remind myself next time I invent something to make it Mihoshi-proof. Doll A - You're the greatest Washu!! Doll B - Washu's the best!! Washu - (smiles) Right, now let's see... (While Washu is fixing the machine, the rest of the girls are watching a soap opera on the television) Mihoshi - Oh...I've seen this one before. This is when... Kiyone - (covers Mihoshi's mouth) Don't you dare say anything Mihoshi. We haven't all seen it, you know. Mihoshi - (mumbles under Kiyone's hand) Sorry. (Suddenly, Mihoshi's galaxy police watch starts to beep. Mihoshi doesn't seem to hear it) Kiyone - MIHOSHI!! Mihoshi - (looks at her watch) oh right, I guess we'd better go then Kiyone. Kiyone - Yes, duty calls. Mihoshi - (starts to watch T.V again) Kiyone - MIHOSHI!! Mihoshi - Oh...right. (Mihoshi and Kiyone both disappear upstairs to change into their uniform. Then they come back downstairs to go outside to Kiyone's ship) Kiyone - We don't know what time we'll be back so don't wait up for us. Sasami - See you later Kiyone and Mihoshi. Mihoshi - Bye Sasami. Kiyone - (grabs Mihoshi by her arm) Come on Mihoshi!! Bijoshi - (looks at Sasami) Is she always like this? Sasami - Pretty much. Why? Bijoshi - (laughs) She's even worse in my time period!! (On Yagami) Kiyone - So...what's the assignment then Mihoshi?? Mihoshi - Nothing big Kiyone. We just have to go to Jurai and patrol around a certain area. Apparently, the prince of Jurai is visiting and the people don't want anything bad to happen to him. Kiyone - Oh right, well we'd better get going then. (Meanwhile, On Jurai) Ryoko - (sits down on the ground) Oh Tenchi, doesn't the sunset look beautiful? Tenchi - Yeah, I guess. Ryoko - Tenchi, I can't believe that I am here with you. I promised to take you on a journey with me and here we are, taking that journey. Tenchi - (smiles) Well, I did say that I would go with you on a journey. Ryoko - But I didn't think that we'd be taking a journey like we are - a couple. Tenchi - (smile widens) Well we are, and we now know that this journey is going to last forever. Ryoko - I'm glad it will Tenchi. Tenchi - (turns red) Me too. (sits beside Ryoko and wraps his arm around her) (On Yagami) Kiyone - We are nearly on Jurai, Mihoshi. (looks at Mihoshi who is fast asleep on her chair) God, how many hours a day does she need to sleep? (shouts) MIHOSHI!!!! Mihoshi - (wakes up) H'uh...what...? Kiyone - We are nearly there Mihoshi. Mihoshi - Oh right Kiyone. How much longer? Kiyone - About 5 minutes so don't fall asleep again Mihoshi. Mihoshi - I wasn't asleep Kiyone, I was resting my eyes. Kiyone - (rolls eyes) (5 minutes go by) Kiyone - This is First Class Detective Kiyone Makibi, from the Galaxy Police. Requesting permission to land on Jurai. Mihoshi - And First Class Detective Mihoshi Kuramitsu!! Kiyone - (sighs) (she directs Yagami onto the landing pad. When her craft has landed, Mihoshi and Kiyone step out) Oh...good to be on the ground again. Mihoshi - Yeah (yawns) Kiyone - You can't still be tired, Mihoshi! Mihoshi - (smiles) Never mind Kiyone, now that we are on Jurai, we get to spend all of our time together, isn't that great?? Kiyone - Right Mihoshi, our boss has told us that the Prince and his girlfriend are walking in the gardens. However, they do not know that we are here so we are to keep a low profile and make sure that...MIHOSHI! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? Mihoshi - Yes of course I am Kiyone. Kiyone - Anyway, they don't know that we are here and the people don't want them to know that we are here. Mihoshi, we are here on this mission and we are not here to clothes shop or anything like that. Understood? Mihoshi - (wasn't listening) Did you say something Kiyone? Kiyone - (mutters) I don't know why I bother. (In the Jurai Gardens) Ryoko - I'd forgotten how wonderful and beautiful the flowers are around here. Tenchi - Yeah...Ryoko, I have only seen this side of you once, I wish that you would show it more. You don't have to keep up your tough space-pirate attitude all the time. Ryoko - But I have to Tenchi. If I don't Ayeka will steal you away from me and I never want that to happen. Tenchi - (pulls Ryoko closer to him) That will never happen Ryoko, now come on. We'd better check into a hotel for the night. Ryoko - Alright Tenchi Tenchi - (helps her up) Kiyone - Mihoshi, I have just received words that the prince and his girlfriend have left the gardens to go and find a...MIHOSHI! STOP LOOKING AT THE CLOTHES IN THAT WINDOW AND LISTEN!! Mihoshi - oh...sorry Kiyone. Kiyone - Well, the prince and his girlfriend are apparently looking for a hotel to stay the night. We don't know which hotel yet...oh, wait a minute, I think that they are going into the Diamond Hotel... Tenchi - Ryoko! This place looks really expensive. Ryoko - But remember Tenchi, we get everything free. Tenchi - (stalls) I guess... Tenchi - (grabs Tenchi and pulls him inside the hotel) Come on Tenchi! Tenchi - Woah! (Inside, the hotel is beautifully laid out. The carpet on the floor is red and looks brand new. There are chandeliers everywhere and everything appears to be made out of gold, silver and precious gems. All the workers wear either black tuxedos or black dresses and everything sparkles with the light. It is like being in the Plaza Hotel in London only 10 times better.) Tenchi - (stands still with mouth wide open. He is completely gob-smacked) Ryoko - Wow! Look at this place Tenchi. I've been to some fancy hotels in my time but this one outranks them all. Tenchi - How? Ryoko - Well remember, I was a space-pirate before and... Tenchi - (holds up hand) I don't want to know. Ryoko - (laughs) Come on Tenchi (pulls Tenchi towards the reception desk) Let's go get us a room!!! Tenchi - Alright Ryoko (he stops Ryoko and suddenly they appear at the reception desk) Ryoko - Tenchi, did you...? Tenchi - I guess I did. Ryoko - Wow! You've learnt how to teleport without my help!! Tenchi - (smiles) (rings the bell on the counter) (A man wearing a white shirt, black trousers, black tuxedo and black tie walks up to the desk) Man - Can I help you sir? Tenchi - Er...can we have a room for two please? Man - (looks at Tenchi) I'm sorry sir but you are inappropriately dressed for this hotel. Why don't you try the hotel opposite, I'm sure they take your type of people. (Suddenly, a woman working next to the man whispers in his ear. The man goes bright red with embarrassment.) Man - Oh...erm, your Highness, Prince Tenchi, please forgive me. I did not know that it was you. Tenchi - (scratches the back of his head) Well, I guess that I'm not exactly dressed like a prince. An easy mistake to make. Man - I apologise, please forgive me. Tenchi - Don't worry, it's alright. Man - Naturally, I will dismiss myself at once. Tenchi - No, it's alright. You're doing a fine job. Man - Oh, thank you sir. Now, a room for two sir? Tenchi - Yes please. Man - (picks a key off a hook and hands it to Tenchi) Here you are your Highness, room number 100, our royal suite. Tenchi - Why, thank you (takes the key) Kiyone - Right Mihoshi...(looks at the sign above the hotel that says Diamond Hotel) We are going in...(looks at Mihoshi who is chatting to one of the doormen) Mihoshi - So anyway...we've been sent to keep an eye out on the prince and his... Kiyone - (puts her hand over Mihoshi's mouth) You always say one word too many!! (pulls Mihoshi inside the hotel with her)Now Mihoshi, we must stay hidden from sight ok? Mihoshi - Did you say something Kiyone? Kiyone - (shrugs shoulders) Come on Mihoshi. Right according to our sources, the prince and his girlfriend are at the reception desk just getting their key for room 100, the royal suite. MIHOSHI!! Mihoshi - Hmmm? Kiyone - Never mind (Kiyone looks over to the reception desk) Well, the only people I see there are Tenchi and Ryoko... Mihoshi - Oh...we should go over and say hi! Kiyone - (tries to stop Mihoshi from going over but it is too late) Mihoshi - hi Guys!! (waves) Tenchi - (turns around and is slightly startled to see Mihoshi but smiles) Oh...hi Mihoshi. What are you doing here? Mihoshi - Oh well, we've been sent here to protect the prince and his girlfriend while they're visiting here. They're not supposed to know so don't tell them. Tenchi - (turns around to see Kiyone approaching) Is this true Kiyone? Kiyone - (sighs) Yes but our equipment is on the blink. It keeps telling me that the prince and his girlfriend are at the reception desk but the only two people here are you and Ryoko. Tenchi - Well, I can tell you Kiyone that your equipment is not on the blink because I am...er...we are the prince and girlfriend. Kiyone - What???? Tenchi - Well, 'cause my grandfather was Yosho, I am a prince of Jurai. Kiyone - Of course, I should have remembered (bangs her head with her hand) Tenchi - It's alright Kiyone, don't worry about it. It could have easily have been some other prince. I'm not the only prince of Jurai. Kiyone - Yes, I guess you're right Tenchi. Well, we've failed our mission Mihoshi thanks to you, again! Tenchi - What did you have to do? Kiyone - Just follow you and make sure that you were alright but you weren't supposed to know about it. Tenchi - Well Kiyone, if your boss gives you a hard time about it, I'll have a word with them, is that alright? Kiyone - Oh...thank you Tenchi (turns to Mihoshi) Come on Mihoshi, we'd better be heading back now. Mihoshi - Alright Kiyone, see you later!!! Tenchi and Ryoko - (wave) Bye!! Ryoko - (looks at Tenchi and sighs) I can't believe that in the future, you give Mihoshi a promotion aswell! Tenchi - Yeah, I am slightly confused about that. Oh well (jingles the key in front of Ryoko) Shall we go up to our room? Ryoko - (smiles) (10 minutes later- in room 100) Tenchi - Wow!! This place is so big! Ryoko - Well we are in the royal suite Tenchi! Tenchi - (smiles) Ryoko - (sits down on the bed and pats a place beside her) Tenchi - (goes and sits down next to Ryoko) Ryoko - (starts to kiss Tenchi on the face) So Tenchi, what are we going to do tomorrow?? Tenchi - Erm...(blushes) I...I don't know... Ryoko - (starts kissing Tenchi's neck) Well... it's up to you Tenchi. Tenchi - Er...I...erm...hmmm... Ryoko - (stops kissing Tenchi and looks straight into his big brown eyes) We can decide tomorrow can't we?? Tenchi - (smiles and pulls Ryoko in for another kiss) I guess we can... (fades out)
