Hey all! This idea was inspired by Galaxy1001D's story "To the Vitor Goes the Spoils". I hope I do a good job with it heh heh. Hope you all enjoy, and I'd really like to hear what he has to say as I work my way into this one.

Ryoko was in a foul mood. Pissed, actually, would sum it up better. And of course there was Aeka making just as big a fuss as she was.
"But, Lord Tenchi, must you go?" she pleaded.
"Tenchiiiii…" whined Ryoko as she rubbed up against him in a desperate attempt to make him stay. Or take her with him.
"Girls, it's only for a month. Please stop making such a fuss over this." pleaded Tenchi. Tenchi and his father had won a free month's Winter Vacation at some resort in Tokyo. It was December first so he was literally going to be away all month. The girls didn't like it. The girls didn't like it one bit.
"You're gonna leave me here with her? Oh Tenchi she's meeeeaaaaaaannnn." groaned Ryoko. Aeka grew furious at this.
"Me!? Lord Tenchi you can't leave me here with this- this- Wench!" she screamed.
"Who you calling a wench!?" shouted Ryoko. She started to make a move toward Aeka but they were both quickly suspended in the air.
"That's enough, girls." said Washu coolly holding a remothe in her hands. Looking at each other Aeka and Ryoko saw that they were being handled by small metal hooks. They both took to pouting in the air.
"Please understand girls. It's only for a month. Surely you can tolerate each other that long.

Tenchi had all his bags packed and was ready to go.
"Goodbye, Tenchi~!" said Washu in an almost suspicious voice as she held a crying Aeka and a weeping Ryoko in the air.
"Goodbye everyone. Washu, please try to keep them behaved." Tenchi asked.
"Oh I will~!" she said in the same voice. On that note, Tenchi and his father left for the month.
It started snowing a little earlier before Tenchi left. And the gang suspected it would stay like that for a while. It was pretty dull without Tenchi. Ryoko just sat and watched television, Aeka was busy complaining about everything she usually complained about, and Tenchi not being there, Washu was cooped up in her lab, Mihoshi was out, and Sasami was sleeping.
'God this is boring.' thought Ryoko. 'I understand why he didn't stay, I wouldn't have either, but why couldn't he take meeeeeeeeee?'
'You could think about someone besides yourself, you know, Ryoko.' added Washu through their link.
'Oh, quiet you' said Ryoko as she closed off the link. As she sat there she thought and thought, and rather quickly, formulated a plan. It was a plan so genius, so amazing, that Aeka would never think of it. She would go visit Tenchi in Tokyo! The thought made her light and warm inside as she paraded through the house happily.
'I just can't sit here for a month with no Lord Tenchi.' thought Aeka to herself. 'And I certainly can't stay here for a month with just that hooligan!' she continued thinking. Quickly she thought of something to do. She knew it to be pure genius when she thought of it. It was the best plan ever. And there was no way that fiend would be able to conjure up something of her intellectual level. She would visit Tenchi in Tokyo! What a wonderful plan she had conjured up. It made her happy for the rest of the day.
Washu sat in her lab, wondering how stupidly they were going to try to accomplish what she already knew they were going to do. As a genius, she already knew what they would start thinking up. She contemplated whether she should stop them midway, or just let them tire themselves out. She really didn't believe they would succeed. Though she did know that they would be at it all month.

"Oh! It's snowing! Cmon, Ryo-oh-khi!" exclaimed Sasami, who had just woken up. Sasami and Ryo-oh-khi started getting dressed for winter. Ryo-oh-khi was in her child form so her and Sasami could play in the snow. It was really fun. They were out there most of the day until Ryoko, Aeka, and Washu decided to join in.
Ryoko and Washu were Team Genius, and Sasami, Aeka, and Ryo-oh-khi were Team Princess. Washu had made the most technological fort you could make out of snow. It was ten feet tall, with snowball cannons and laser targeting and sonar. Team Princess had the best the three of them could make. It was a decent fort, about seven feet tall and hid them quite well.
It didn't stand a chance.
Snowball after snowball the Princesses fort was attacked by Washu's super cannon. It was reduced to nothing in less than ten seconds. Less time than it took to build. Aeka stood there with a sour expression on her face.
"Well, at least we tried our best!" said Sasami. "Mreow!" agreed Ryo-oh-khi.

It was a nice evening. They all sat down, watched their favorite soap opera with some delicious hot cocoa that Washu made in the lab. She refused to tell anyone her secret.
Ryoko and Aeka were out cold by eight o'clock.
"Miss Washu, what happened to Ryoko and Sister Aeka?" asked Sasami. The two women were sprawled on the couch, sound asleep.
"Oh, they must just be worn out is all." said Washu deviously. Sasami looked at them a little worriedly. "Oh, they're fine, Sasami. Just let them sleep." finished the genius.
Washu knew this was only a temporary solution and that they would eventually make their way out once or twice.
Once or twice wouldn't even start to cover it.
