A/N: Hello again! Well, since it's summer, I've had a lot of free of time, and out of boredom, this came out. Go figure. Just something I thought I'd give a go. Enjoy!

Tenchi

Spring and summer, every other day...

"Who'd like some more lemonade?" I hear Sasami call from inside the house. Several of the other girls respond with a 'yes'.

"I'd like some too, Sasami!" I call back. I see her little face poke out from the doorway. "Sure thing, Tenchi!" she responds, and she resumes her actions.

I'm sitting with the girls on the porch, eating watermelon and drinking sweet lemonade. It's a beautiful day in early summer, and it couldn't be more peaceful. The sun is shining extremely brightly. The forests are calm, and the breeze is soft. The sky is a beautiful sapphire color. There's no yelling, no fighting, no explosions—just the sound of laughing, the smell of summer, and the sight of everyone getting along just fine. Ryoko and Ayeka aren't even fighting. There must be a God.

Sasami returns with our glasses of lemonade, distributing them to each of us. "Thanks Sasami!" I say. She smiles in response and takes a seat besides her sister.

"Oh Sasami, this lemonade is so refreshing!" Ayeka exclaims, sipping her glass as royally as possible. Well, what do you expect from the princess of Jurai? I notice Ryoko taking a large sip, almost as if her glass is filled with sake. I can't help but smile at her child-like disposition.

Kiyone is lying on her back, taking in the calmness of it all. For once, she's not having a breakdown due to Mihoshi's air headedness. I know she's the least crazy of them all-if she's at rest, then I guess I should be too. Washu is sitting the farthest away, dangling her feet off the side of the porch. She's munching on watermelon, looking satisfied.

I hesitate a moment, taking in the scene. We're happy-we truly are. It's such a wonderful feeling of relief, knowing we're finally a 'family'. I can't help but what wonder what will happen to all of us…where will be five years from now? Nothing's certain, that much I know. Life's a scary thing, when you think about it. I'm at peace right now, and I'm not so sure I want change. Not for a good, long time anyways.

I figure that nothing lasts forever, especially not the things that make us happy. I may just be realizing this, but the girls are all so dear to me. I love each and every one of them, but when it comes to them, I never know what's going to happen. For all I know, this positive, safe state could all go away tomorrow. So why not make the most of the time you have?

"This watermelon is so good!" Ryoko exclaims, breaking my train of thought. She's digging into her watermelon like a mad woman. Washu sighs. "Ryoko, I think it's time you learned how to eat like a big girl now," she preaches in a baby voice. The others laugh, and I can't help but chuckle. Ryoko turns a bit red, but shakes it off. "Sure thing, Mom." She says snippily, though there's a joking gleam in her eye. Luckily, her temper doesn't get the best of her.

For now, the world's at rest.

For now, I can relax.

So yeah, they're all fairly short, sweet and to the point. Review if you like! Thanks!
