*the song is called I hope you dance by Lee Ann)

The light sound of rain hit the masaki roof, and everyone was sleeping soundly except for one person.. Tenchi. He kept hearing a soft sound outside, but he always thought it was the rain so he would just stay in bed... Until finally curiosity got the best of him. He silently got out of bed and made his way downstairs to look out of the glass doors. What he saw, he thought to himself as amazing. It was Ryoko, she was out in the rain, soaked to the bone, but she was dancing and singing...

" I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,

You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,"

Tenchi just stood there mesmorized by her movements, and by her voice...

"May you never take one single breath for granted,

GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,"

She was swaying to and fro, twisting in small half circles, and every once in a while, she would float off of the ground..

"I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance."

She started spinning, slowly and grace fully, turning her face towards the sky

"I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,

Never settle for the path of least resistance

Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',

Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',"

Ryoko stopped spinning and started swaying again... "Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,

When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,

Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance."

She started spinning again, but would spin the other way also...she started to lift off of the ground...

"I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance."

She was swaying in the air, face still turned to the sky, hair plastered against her face because of the rain, soaked clothes clinging to her body..

"Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,

Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance."

She landed back on the ground and started twirling back and forth really slowly letting her hair whip around her neck....

"Dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.."

She stopped spinning, closed her eyes, and just stood there holding her hands to her heart....

"Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along

Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone."

She opened her eyes and looked over to the glass doors to see Tenchi standing there..her cheeks flushed a deep red, and she teleported away...
