I don't own Tenchi Muyo or Outlaw star

Chapter two

The surprise they bring

---The Masaki house 10 minutes later---

The camera fades in from black and focuses on the four sitting at the table in

the middle of the Masaki household. "So, how do you know Ryoko?" asked Sasami as she poured some tea for them. "We used to be partners, but she went her way and we went ours, we came to see an old friend." replied Jules as he took a sip of tea. "I see, so what did you do with her?" asked Sasami with true interest. "We stole a lot of things, and money, lots and lots of money, but considering we used a grappler ship, it was easy. We also did a lot of mercenary jobs as well as bounty hunting." said James as he petted Ryo-oh-ki, revealing arm bracers with white gems on them. "So, what's it like to be free like that?" asked Sasami, getting an odd look from the both of them, one that seemed like joy with wonder. "It's just that, Sasami, freedom in its truest from." replied Jules as he looked at Sasami with a little thought in his head. 'This girl, would make a great pirate.' thought Jules as he came back to the real world to hear Ryoko's teleporting sound. He drews one of his knive's and puts it at Ryoko's neck. "Hello, Ryoko, you should know better then to teleport next to me." said Jules, as he put his knife away.

"What are you doing here, Jules?" asked Ryoko, sounding very angry. "What, old friends can't see each other from time to time?" asked Jules, with a face of a total angel. "Not when it concerns you, Jules, you only visit friends to get their help in things, or get something from them." said Ryoko watching Jules and James sweat drop. "Ok, you're right, I need your help, Ryoko, I'm going after IT." said Jules, looking really serious. "It? You know were It is?" asked Ryoko in a hushed tone. "James-san… what is It?" asked Sasami in the background as she and James played with Ryo-oh-ki. "I don't know, but, Jules and Ryoko, would stay up late some nights and talk about it, they never said It's name, and please call me Jim." replied James as they continued to play with Ryo-oh-ki when they heard other voices coming from outside.

"Whose ship is that?" asked Ayeka as she walked in and saw the odd scene. Jules and Ryoko, huddled close together and talking in hushed voices and Sasami and James playing with Ryo-oh-ki. Now, to the normal person, this would be normal and they wouldn't pay it any mind, but this is the Masaki house and the fact that there's a large space ship in the lake and Ryoko is a space pirate and talking to someone that looks like a pirate, well, the results werw load.

"Ryoko! Who are this people?" shrieked Ayeka as Tenchi and his grandfather ran in to see what was going on, but the load shriek brought out Washu the recluse scientist. "What's going on?" asked Washu, as she came out with a large plasma blaster, Jim, however recognized her in an instant and was by her side just as fast. "Excuse me, but are you Washu Hakubi?" asked James with stars in his eyes. "Umm….Yes, I am, and you are?" asked Washu as she lowed her blaster. "I'm James Tessen, I'm a big fan of your work, Little Washu. I especially liked your report on generator matrixes and proton exhilaration conversion into weapon energy." said James in full 'I'm talking to my idol and if you interrupt, I'll kill you mode. "Jim, why don't you just ask her to adopt you. I mean, the academy kicked you out because they didn't want another Washu." said Jules as he looked at Jim. "Shut up, Jules!" yelled James as pulled a combat knife from his tool belt and threw it at Jules. "Wait, what time is it?" asked Washu as she looked around. James pulled out a gold pocket watch and opened it and replied. "3:00 p.m. why?" asked James as everyone but Jules and James went to the back of the room. Then they heard a sound like a shuttle coming down. True be told one was and it hit the lake sending water everywhere. "I'm all wet!" said a child like voice as the owner got out. "Oh no, my cartoons." said the blonde GP officer, Mihoshi as she ran in and sat in front of the T.V and put it to her channel.

"Mihoshi…that's the last time you drive on the way back." said her aquamarine haired partner, Kiyone, as she walked in but just sighed when she saw Mihoshi. "Let me guess, she does stupid things but you can't bring your self to be angry at her, right Kiy-chan?" said Jules as he snuck up behind her. "Right, Jules-honey." said Kiyone not all there at the moment as she leaned back into Jules without realizing he's not supposed to be there. "Wait…Jules?" asked Kiyone to her self as she looks up into his face. "Hi Kiy-chan." replied Jules as he smiled at her. "Ahhhhhhhhhh!" yelled Kiyone as she jumped a good foot in the air and three away. "What are you doing here?" asked Kiyone as she pulled her blaster and took aim at Jules. "I'm here seeing Ryoko, didn't know you were here, now put the gun down." said Jules as he tried to calm Kiyone and talk her out of shooting him. 'You two know each other?" asked Ayeka and Ryoko at the same time. "We use to go out, but she became a GP officer and I became a pirate so we broke up." said Jules as he jumped behind Mihoshi. "Mihoshi, help me settle down your gun crazy partner." said Jules in fear of Kiyone and her blaster. "Dinners ready." said Sasami as she and James and Washu brought out plates of food. "Saved by dinner." said Jules as he takes a seat, but Kiyone sits right next to him. Then Tenchi sits with both Ryoko and Ayeka on both sides of him and next to them was Washu, James and Sasami with Ryo-oh-ki. Mihoshi and Grandfather at the heads of the table. "So, James was it? (getting a nod) You understood my reports?" asked Washu as she started up a conversation with Jim. "Please call me Jim, Little Washu, and yes, I understood them, I actually used them as my basis for the caster gun that Jules uses." said James as he pulled up a file on his mini computer that showed a strange looking gun. "You replicated the caster gun?" asked Washu in amazement at the boy's skill. "No, it is not as powerful, but the more you use them, the stronger they get." replied James as he looked down at his food and started to eat. "Well, I'm impressed, Jim, your skill is up in my league." said Washu cheering the boy up from what ever got him down. James smiled at the compliment from his idol and finished his meal just as everyone finished their's, then they all got up and when to bed, but Jules and James went out to their ship.

"So, will she help?" asked James when they got in the ship. "No, she's fallen too far in love with that, Tenchi person, to want to help." said Jules as they walked to the cockpit. "So, we're on our own this time?" asked James when they got in to the cockpit and in their seats. "Yeah, Jim, we're on our own." replied Jules as he turned on the engines and took off back into space. "Phineas, wake me up when we're out of the solar system." said Jules as he leaned back and fell asleep.

---13 hours later---

"Jules, we are out of the solar system, but we seem to be heavier." said Phineas as he woke Jules. "What do you mean, heavier?" asked Jules sitting up. "We have gained 103 pounds." said Phineas as he showed a black screen. "It's in the gun room, but the camera can't see anything." continued Phineas trying to get Jules to look into it. "Ok, I'll check it out." said Jules as he got up and pulled a katana from a sheath on the back of his chair.

---a few minutes later---

Jules finally got to the gun room. "Ok, anyone here?" asked Jules letting his eyes get used to the dark, getting no reply he hit the light switch on and bathed the room in light, showing that the 103 pounds was Sasami and Ryo-oh-ki huddled in a corner asleep. "Cute, but Ryoko will kill me when she finds me." said Jules as he picked up Sasami and Ryo-oh-ki without waking them, then putting them in the guest bed and tucked them in. "Well, I was right. She'll make one hell of a pirate, but considering she's Misaki's kid." said Jules as he closed the door and walked up to the cockpit. Phineas, set a course for Hidden Heaven." said Jules when he sat down. "Yes sir, but what about the girl?" asked Phineas as he set the course. "She wanted to join us, so she can stay a little while." replied Jules as the Moonlight Dragon shot off into space.

Chapter's end: And the moral of today's story is….It's tourist season, so why can I shoot them?

Well, that's me, so Je ne, and have an odd time.
