It took Sasami and Aeka a few minutes to clean up all the water.
~Ring Ring... Ring Ring~ Aeka lifted her head toward the phones location.

"I'll get it Sasami." Aeka stood up and tossed the towl on the floor as she ran out of the room.

"You do that Aeka" Sasami mummbled under her breath as she grabed Aeka's discarded towl and began to dry the floor where she missed.

"Misaki Residents" Aeka said in her polite voice.

"Oh, uh... Hey there, is Tenchi around?" A male voice asked.

"No I am sorry, Lor..eh Tenchi isn't here at the moment, may I take a message?" She wondered who was calling.

"Nah, Uh...well... is... Ryoko around?" The male voice asked. Just before Aeka even thought of telling him that she wasn't the door flew open with Ryoko standing in it's open way. Aeka jumped infright.

"Ah! Ryoko, you scared me. Oh you have a phone call." Aeka handed the phone to Ryoko. Ryoko pulled off her headphones and set down her small black full of CDs on the phone stand. Aeka began to walk off, but slowly.

"Yo" Ryoko acted all cool till Aeka fully left the hallway.

"Uh.. wow, Hi Ryoko." Ryoko lifted an eyebrow to the unfimilair male voice.

"Can I help you?" She asked

"This is Tasuki, Tenchi's friend."

'Oh so it's him...', "I see... so how do you know Tenchi?"

"We goto school together. He brought a picture of his family to school. But you don't look like your related to him. Heh, sorry, you probably think i'm some kind of freak calling you up and talking about that..."

'Bingo' Ryoko thought on his moment of pause.

"But I keep asking Tenchi if he wants to hang out sometime after school and to ... maybe bring you along. I know alot of cool places to hang out." The guy sighed.

"Well tomorrow's Monday and Tenchi will be going to school. Also i was going to head into town to get a new CD tomorrow, So i'll stop by when school lets out." Ryoko leaned up against the wall on the oppisite wall, causing the phone cord to stretch.

"Wow really? I mean kool! Well... i geuss i'll see you then, Ryoko. Ja"

"Yea, Ja Tasuki." Ryoko placed the phone on the hook, hanging up before him 'What the hell did i just do?!'

"Aeka?" Aeka hurrled around from peaking around the corner (spying on Ryoko) to face Tenchi and Sasami

"What are you doing?" Tenchi asked

"OH Lord Tenchi, welcome home... i was.. well... you got a phone call and i told him you weren't here so he asked for Ryoko." Aeka explained

"What?!" Tenchi walked past Aeka and into the hallway to find it empty.

"Hmm... she left." Aeka stood next to Tenchi.

"What'd she say?" Tenchi turned to Aeka.

"I'm not quite sure, something about meeting someone after school." She was trying to remember but half of Ryoko's conversation Aeka was in thought.

"Thanks Aeka" Tenchi walked off to the livingroom.

*************

Upstairs and around the corner Ryoko heard Aeka and Tenchi conversation. 'Damn it, whats with the spying?' She thought as she phased to her room.
