Episode 1-HAPPY BIRTHDAY!





Ryoko looked out of the window it was December 24 a day away from Christmas. And best of all a day away from Mayuka's 13th birthday! She's so happy; Mayuka is the best thing that ever happened to Tenchi. It won't be to long before Ryoko leaves for space. Tenchi was saddened when he heard.

Mayuka walked into Ryoko's room. Ryoko looked at the big 12½ girl. She looked so much like Ryoko. Her eyes were golden amber; her hair wasn't dark blue anymore. It was a dark Cyan color. The little girl even tried to make her hair spiky!

"Mayuka what's up?" Asked Ryoko. Mayuka took out some chocolates from behind her back and sat next to Ryoko. Mayuka was such a nice kid boys would think she was 17 or something. Ryoko would buy her the cloths she liked. Not like Ayeka, Ayeka would buy long dresses for Mayuka even long head bans!

"Oh, I just baked some chocolates for you" Mayuka said looking innocent. Something was wrong Mayuka usually she'll come in and jump on my bed. "Mayuka, what's wrong?"

"Oh Ryoko please don't leave!" Mayuka cried and hugged Ryoko. Ryoko felt a shock go down her spine. This was the first hug she ever got excepting Washu. Ryoko felt she was going to cry. No one had asked her to stay. Tenchi just said take good care. Ayeka said she'd miss me. Sasami well she did cry and told me to keep out of trouble. Washu didn't say anything she just gave me an amethyst necklace. February was the month I was born. Valentines day it was the best day of the whole month. But no one ever throw a party for her.

"Mayuka, please I told you I have no choice," Ryoko pleaded. Mayuka looked up at her and asked "why don't you give me my birthday present I want?" Ryoko then smiled and then said "I don't know what you'll like" Mayuka sat up and gave her a chocolate Ryoko took it and Mayuka told her "I don't want you to leave all you have to give me is that. If not I will not accept any other gift from you. And I will never marry I pray on Lady Tsunami" Ryoko felt like she was slapped in the face. Tenchi would hate her even more if Mayuka never married because of her. Ryoko had no choice. "I'll stay I promise" Ryoko kissed the girl on her head.

Mayuka then got up and ran down stairs. Ryoko just couldn't let the little girl down. Ryoko saw the tray of chocolates and started to eat it. For some reason it had a cherry taste.





Later on that day like around evening Tenchi took Mayuka to the park while the girls in the house made preparations for the birthday party. Ayeka was wrapping all the presents, Kiyone was hooking the decorations with the help of Washu's machines, Sasami was busy making the cake with cyan icing, while Ryoko was fixing the table and the dance floor.

Everyone was busy at the house. Tenchi and Mayuka walked through the park. They would talk about what Mayuka wanted to be when she grows up. "Daddy I told you I don't want to be a doctor! I want to make dresses and clothes" Tenchi smiled at her and then asked "Mayuka you have no one to teach you" Mayuka then grinned and replied "Ryoko knows she showed me some things" Tenchi stood there shocked imaging what she must have thought her daughter. Ryoko didn't know the first thing about sewing or so he knew 5 years ago.

"Honey Ryoko doesn't know how to make clothes," Tenchi said in a low voice. Mayuka then got angry and yelled at Tenchi "No! If you seen the dresses she made for me I'm going to get one for my birthday today anyway!"

Tenchi laughed and then saw a rabbit pass by "Hey look a rabbit" Tenchi said not rising his voice to any level. Mayuka laughed as she saw the little white rabbit jump. Mayuka then asked "Daddy do you love Ryoko?" Tenchi turned red, and then said "I do but not the way she wants me too" Tenchi said sadly. "Why don't you?" Asked Mayuka almost whining like Ryoko. "You know Ryoko is turning you into her" Tenchi laughed. Mayuka's eyes lite up and she asked "Do you really think?"

"Yes, Mayuka let me tell you the truth but promise not to tell anyone" Tenchi begged. Mayuka promised and listened "I have made my choice but I will not reveal her till her birthday arrives" Tenchi smiled and started to walk slowly. "So she's one of the girls in the house?" Asked Mayuka who was determined to know? "Yes she's in the house, I would tell you who she is but you might tell her" Tenchi grinned and started to walk faster.

"I won't tell please just tell me who it is?" Mayuka begged as she ran after her father. Tenchi ran faster and faster and yelled "I'll give you a clue and find out from there she was the first person I met"

Mayuka stopped and smiled she knew who the person was already Ryoko had told her. Tenchi had chosen Ryoko. Tenchi stopped and looked at Mayuka and asked "What's wrong?" Mayuka grinned and answered "I know who she is you love Ryoko" Tenchi found himself blushing. She knew he met her first!

"Mayuka what ever you do don't tell her please?" Tenchi begged. Mayuka jumped happily and said "YES! I knew you loved her I knew it!" Mayuka screamed with joy. "Yes, just don't tell her" Tenchi still didn't get a full answer to his question. "Don't worry I won't" Mayuka stopped jumping and started to walk.

Later on that day when Tenchi and Mayuka reached home it was 7:00 P.M. Mayuka walked in all the lights were off. "I think everyone went out' Tenchi flipped the switch. Everyone shouted "SURPRIZE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAYUKA!" Mayuka cried with joy and ran to her room to get dressed. Ryoko teleported to Mayuka's room with a present in her hand. Tenchi saw and thought she must have gotten Mayuka a new dress.

"OHHHHH, It's beautiful and my favorite color too!" Mayuka squealed with joy. Ryoko was about to leave when Mayuka said, "WAIT! I have something to tell you" Ryoiko stopped and turned to Mayuka. "I was talking with daddy and he told me whom he loves," Mayuka said in a low voice so no one except Ryoko could hear her. Ryoko looked up in hope and asked "Whom? Is it I or Ayeka?" Mayuka then pulled on a sad face and said, "It is no one but you" Ryoko looked up in shock "M..E me?" "Yes you" Mayuka then pushed her out of the room happily. Ryoko laid her back against the door and tears fell from her eyes he chooses her. Ryoko teleported to her room and got out her dress. It was red with black designs. Ryoko looked at Tenchi's picture and kissed it he was hers. 'He is my Tenchi' Ryoko thought Ryoko finished getting dressed and went down stairs to see Tenchi and Mayuka there alone with 20 people she never saw before. "Where are the girls?" Asked Ryoko. Tenchi told her they were getting dressed. Then he asked her if she'd go to the back with him to get some soda for the guests.

Ryoko and Tenchi went to the back. Tenchi noticed Ryoko was a little too happy. 'Could Mayuka have told her? No she couldn't have?' thought Tenchi. Tenchi got 6 sodas and Ryoko got another 6 they went into the house. The music was so loud no one could hear anyone when they spoke. It was now time for the cake to be cut. Everyone was around the table. Tenchi feed her the cake and she did the same. So did the rest of the girls. After the party finished it was 2:00 A.M in the morning. Everyone was on the sofa bummed out of energy. That's when Ayeka got up and walked to the kitchen. Ayeka tripped over Ryoko's foot. Ryoko jumped up and said "Sorry I didn't know you were passing" Ayeka looked at her and said "It's ok no one cares at this time of night or morning which ever you want to call it" Ryoko thanked god a fight didn't come out of that. She looked and saw Mayuka asleep. She got up and picked Mayuka up. Tenchi saw and followed Ryoko to Mayuka's room. When Ryoko turned around to leave Mayuka's room she saw Tenchi staring at her. "Tenchi? What are you doing here?" Ryoko said in a low voice so Mayuka wouldn't wake up. "Let's go to my room and talk," Tenchi said exiting Mayuka's room. Ryoko was shocked let's go to his room?!. Ryoko walked into Tenchi's room and sat on the bed. "I want to ask you something" Ryoko hoped he'd say he loved her. "Yes?" Ryoko asked. "Can you make a prom dress for Mayuka by Monday?" Asked Tenchi. Ryoko said yes and they went to bed their ways.

Well how was it? Hope you liked it. Please R&R I worked a little hard to think of this. Next Episode: The Prom dress and dates.
