Chapter Seven: The Wedding's Official!

Washu was madly, no insanely, typing away at her computer. She wanted everything to be just perfect for her Little Ryoko's wedding. The mad scientist paused in her fingering. Should Ryoko wear white? Washu shrugged. White is customary for a bride regardless if… well, you know. She started typing again, idly wondering if Ryoko had broken the happy news yet.

"Tenchi?" *kiss*

"Hmmm?" *kiss*

"What do you *kiss* think about *kiss* an *kiss* autumn *kiss* wedding?" *stop kissing*

Tenchi and Ryoko were out in the part of the forest they had come to call, 'their place'. Tenchi sat back and looked at Ryoko. Ryoko pulled herself up and sat back on her elbows. She looked at Tenchi. Tenchi blinked.

"You know, I was talking to Grandfather yesterday and he suggested that we have an autumn wedding."

Ryoko raised an eyebrow. Did Washu say something to Yosho about this? She wondered. Out loud she said, "Well, he does know that my favorite season is autumn." She paused, "Tenchi, does all thins talk about a wedding freak you out?"

Tenchi looked her in the eye, "No. If anything it should freak you out."

"And why is that?"

"Because you seem to get freaked about these kind of things."

Ryoko laughed, "Oh my Tenchi! You're an idiot, but I love you any way."

Tenchi feigned an injured look, "Idiot?"

Ryoko just laughed again.

When she was done Tenchi asked, "So are you?"

"Am I what?"

Tenchi rolled his eyes, "Freaked about marriage talk."

Ryoko shook her head and whispered, "Nope. Not at all."

Tenchi smiled, "Good. Now that we have that out of the way, where were we?"

Ryoko pretended to think about it before pulling Tenchi down on her. She kissed him deeply saying, "Right here." They continued for about ten minutes or so, then…

"Tenchi?" *kiss*

"Hm?" *kiss*

"What about *kiss* we have *kiss* the *kiss* wedding in *kiss* two *kiss* weeks?"

"What?!"

Ryoko pouted, "You don't love me anymore."

Tenchi inwardly groaned. No matter what happened in Ryoko's and Tenchi's lives, it was always going to come back to that. Tenchi sighed, "Fine, two weeks. Can we just make out now?"

Ryoko's eyes widened, "My, aren't we overly male."

"Its your fault!"

Ryoko just laughed and kissed him again.

Sasami was the only one in the house when Tenchi and Ryoko returned from their 'discussion'. She was happily preparing dinner with Ryo-ohki on top of her head as the couple entered the kitchen.

"Mm, something smells good!" Tenchi said, peering into the pot on the stove.

The little blue haired princess whacked him over the head with her spoon and Ryoko stifled a laugh.

"Ow!"

"Don't look, Tenchi!" Sasami exclaimed, "It's a surprise!"

Tenchi ribbed his head and mumbled something that sounded like, "Well, how was I supposed to know that?" before hastily exiting the kitchen. Sasami grinned at Ryoko and laughed. She continued making the evening meal while Ryoko walked into the living room and plopped down on the couch. She fingered the remote for a while before turning the TV on. Just as she did a blonde whirlwind came, well, whirling into the living room.

"Is it on yet?! Is it on yet?!"

Ryoko sighed, suddenly depressed. "'Lo Mihoshi. Is what on?

"My show, Ryoko! My show!" Mihoshi started jumping up and down.

"The one with the police officers?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ryoko sighed again and forked over the remote, "Here, I think I'll take a walk or something."

"Thanks, Ryoko!" Mihishi took the remote and flew to the TV. She sat down in front of it and started to flip through the channels. Ryoko shook her head and decided to pay a visit to Washu. She got up and walked to the scientificly altered closet and walked in. Before she could step one foot in, the red headed genius exited. The two collided and fell back on their butts.

"Ow! Watch where you're going!"

"Excuse me, Ryoko, but I didn't ask you to come to my lab, now did I?"

"Whatever." Ryoko got and made no move to help Washu. Washu glared and got up herself. She dusted off her clothes and looked back at Ryoko with a smile on her face.

"So, Little Ryoko… (Ryoko rolled her eyes)… What can I do for you?"

The ex-space pirate looked around as if waiting for someone to come and discover them, namely Tenchi. She lowered her voice, "Have you got it done yet?"

"No quite," Washu whispered, barely moving her lips. "It should be done by tomorrow."

Ryoko smiled. "Good. Oh, I can't wait to see the look on Tenchi's face after this!"

Dinner was fabulous. Sasami had gone all out for the couple. The table was stacked with everyone's favorite food and Yosho and Noboyoki had gotten some wine out and everyone toasted to Tenchi and Ryoko. Soon, the table was cleared and everyone just sat around and talked about the good old days. Later, after everyone had gone to bed, Ryoko and Tenchi were still up. They were on the couch wrapped in each other's arms when Ryoko broke the silence.

"Tenchi?"

"Yes?"

"I really do love you, you know."

Tenchi smiled, "I know. I love you too."
