Chapter 1: The Trouble With Beginnings
Good morning sunshine,
Good morning daytime,
Get ready for a brand new me …
The morning sun shone brightly as Ryo-ohki sat atop the kitchen counter helping Sasami prepare breakfast for the rest of the family members. She swung her tiny legs back and forth happily, watching her friend as she added the finishing touches to this morning's meal.
"Well, that's all Ryo-ohki!" Sasami announced brightly, wiping her hands on her apron and helping the cabbit-girl back to the ground, "Time to wake everyone up!" Ryo-ohki mya'd in agreement and skipped into the living room. "I'll take care of the upstairs. You get everyone else, okay?" the little princess asked heading over to the staircase. "Meow!" Ryo-ohki answered as she trotted toward the couch.
Ryo-ohki caught sight of her first victim who was currently sprawled out on her back, spread eagle, her long limbs jutting out at assorted angles. 'Silly Ryoko,' Ryo-ohki thought as she watched her sister snore lightly. Then her eyes glittered with mischief as she stealthily crept forward, her vivid imagination running wild.
I wanna be new,
I wanna be just like you.
I wanna be brave,
I'm ready to misbehave …
The notorious space pirate Ryo-ohki craftily maneuvered her space ship through the stars and toward her current target. The enemy's feeble defenses were no match for her expert tactics and abilities. The radar blipped loudly and the craft moved nearer and nearer. There was no chance of escape once her guns were locked and loaded, they wouldn't even know what hit 'em. With a furious battle cry (aka: "Mya!") Ryo-ohki pounced.
"Ahh!" screamed the shocked Ryoko as she launched herself a good five feet into the air, "What the hell?" She heard a small giggle and looked down to find Ryo-ohki waving up at her, large eyes bright with amusement. "You think that's funny don'cha pipsqueak?" she asked floating downward with a chuckle and ruffling her sister's hair. When Ryo-ohki nodded the pirate smirked, "You're lucky that I like you kiddo. So what do you want, getting me up so early?"
The little girl pointed toward the door under the stairs, golden eyes asking questions that only Ryoko could understand. Ryoko gave the door a distasteful look before asking, "Do I have to?" Her shoulders slumped in defeat when the cabbit-girl pouted unhappily. "Fine I'll go," Ryoko sighed. "Meow!" Ryo-ohki joyfully exclaimed, pulling her sister into a hug.
Get ready for me!
Just wait and see,
I'm a star!
The noises of machines hummed all around the pair as they ventured further into the laboratory. "Washu!" Ryoko called out noisily, "Hello? Washu, where are you?" The pirate walked on through the maze of machinery too busy yelling to notice Ryo-ohki slip off in the opposite direction. "Oh! There you are Washu," she said, finally finding the petite scientist sitting at her holo-top in one of the many sections of the lab, "Me and Ryo- ohki are supposed to tell you that breakfast is ready now." "Okay, just give me a second little Ryoko," Washu clicked a couple of keys and then looked back up, perplexed, "Ryo-ohki's with you?" Ryoko nodded quickly, turned around, and pointed," She's right over th– Ryo-ohki!?"
We're almost soaring,
Let's go exploring,
So we can find new things to see …
Wide, curious eyes scanned their surroundings, examining the strange assortment of big metal boxes, shiny buttons, tubes, and wires. There were so many amazing things here that Ryo-ohki had never seen before. Sparkly knobs and screens caught her attention and she hopped over to the prettiest whatcha-ma-jiggit and stood on her tiptoes so she could reach.
Ryo-ohki figured that Mommy-Washu wouldn't get too mad if she played with this thingy-ma-bob for just a little bit. It couldn't be all that hard to work. Small fingers idly ran along the keys occasionally hitting a button or two, giggling at the funny noises that they made. Then she heard another sound, one that wasn't all that funny. Something was leaking out of the big tube above her head. Ryo-ohki didn't think that Mommy-Washu would like that.
'Uh-oh!' the little cabbit thought, letting out a frightened meow. She hastily backed away, knocking into a shelf of chemicals. Ryo-ohki let out a startled yelp as different colored liquids poured onto her from the display. This was not good, not good at all. The leaking gas drifted nearer and soon engulfed the air. Ryo-ohki took one breath in … and the world took a nap.
I wanna be loud,
I wanna make you proud.
I wanna reach high,
I'm ready to touch the sky …
Ryoko groaned and rubbed her eyes, sitting up on the cold floor of the laboratory. Her head was killing her and she had no clue how she managed to end up on the ground. She looked up to find Washu out cold near her feet. "Hey Washu are you okay?" she asked crawling over to the redhead and shaking her gently. "Mom?" Ryoko whimpered uncertainly when she got no response, "Mom, get up!" Washu's eyes slowly fluttered open and she murmured, "What did you say, little Ryoko?"
"Nothing," the pirate snapped, embarrassed, quickly standing and turning away, "Now get up so I can find my Ryo-ohki!" Washu smiled knowingly at her eldest daughter's retreating form before getting herself off of the floor. 'Well … are you coming or what?" Ryoko questioned nonchalantly, pausing to give Washu enough time to catch up, "Do you know where she could be?"
"That mess over there might be a good place to start," Washu said, trying to keep the concern out of her voice as she took in the sight of the spilt chemicals some distance off. Ryoko's sharp eyes scanned the area until they fell upon a small shape. "Ryo-ohki!" she yelled out, immediately phasing over, "Washu, something's wrong!"
You can't catch me!
Just wait and see,
I will fly!
At Ryoko's outburst Washu instantly sprinted over kneeling down next to her daughters. The genius blinked in surprise at what she found. "What happened to her?" Ryoko asked hesitantly, as Washu cradled Ryo-ohki in her lap. "I …" her mother stuttered, amazed at the change in the little cabbit- girl, "I'm not sure."
No more confusion,
Here's my conclusion,
My life is just a mystery …
Ryo-ohki stirred and opened her golden eyes to find both her mother and sister staring back at her. "Hello there Ryo-ohki," Washu whispered with a smile. "You okay pipsqueak?" Ryoko asked, "You had me worried." Ryo-ohki nodded and rubbed her eyes, but blinked in surprise when she caught sight of her hands.
Replacing the brown fur that had always been there was pale, white skin. "Meow!?" she exclaimed bringing her hands to her face and feeling the same thing. Ryo-ohki peered up at her family desperately seeking answers. Was she really like everyone else?
I wanna be real,
I wanna truly feel.
I wanna be tall,
I'm ready to take it all …
The many members of the Masaki family looked up from their meal as the door to Washu's laboratory slid open. Out came the redheaded scientist followed, surprisingly by Ryoko who glanced doubtfully at her mother, leaning closer to ask a question. "Good morning," Tenchi said, amazed to see the two of them acting so civilly together. Sasami scanned the group, tilted her head to the side questioningly and asked, "Where's Ryo-ohki?"
You'll like me!
Just wait and see,
I'm brand new!
Next Chapter – How will everyone else react to the new Ryo-ohki?
