A/N: Oh wow, already and I haven't updated more!

I still don't own Tenchi Muyo!

-_-_-_-_-_-

Tenchi's eyes flew open just before the sun began to rise. He jumped up and ran to the shower. Today would be the day he'd get Ryoko the best gift she had ever received! He was almost jumping with joy by telling what her excitement would be. "Oh Tenchi!" She would say. "You've got me what I always wanted! A--- WHOA!"

Tenchi fell flat on his back and grumbled. He slipped on the soap. "Well," he sighed, "jumping for joy in the shower isn't the best idea."

He had been searching for the right gift for four days now. So far, nothing. Nothing caught his eye for Ryoko, and nothing seemed desirable. Maybe it was true when they say Christmas comes closer every year. Shoppers get into the spirit fast. Maybe nothing was left.

His hand flew into the air and he made a fist. No! This could not be true! He told himself. He would get the perfect present . . . Even if it killed him!

Quickly he pulled up his pants and threw on his black shirt. He had to leave immediately, before everyone was awake to ask him questions. They thought it was weird he wasn't home from seven in the morning until seven at night but they believed to leave him to his doing. "Sasami, I'll be back home later!"

"Tenchi wait!" Sasami called after him and walked out of the kitchen wiping her hands on her apron. "Come in here for a second, taste these cookies for me."

Tenchi sighed, looked at his watch and turned to walk to the kitchen. "Alright Sasami. Maybe you can help me too.

"Here, taste this one. It's a little sweet don't you think?"

Tenchi picked the warm cookie up and placed it into his mouth. "I like Sasami."

"Great!" Sasami suddenly turned serious. "You need my help?"

"Uh . . . yeah. Do you have any idea what I should get Ryoko?"

Sasami smiled. "Tenchi, anything you give her will be fine as long as it comes from your heart."

Tenchi sighed again, "Well, I'll see you later Sasami."

-_-_-_-_-_-

Tenchi looked up at the tall building in Tokyo. Well, his mind stated, worth a try. He slowly walked in to be greeted by a short man. "Good day, sir."

"Hello. How are you?" Tenchi smiled back and blushed.

"Fine, fine, sir. I think the question here is . . . How are you?" He emphasized 'you'.

Tenchi closed his eyes to stop chuckling. "I'm great. I was wondering if you can help me."

"I sure can! I can tell you're in love! With a very fine young lady! Now, tell me about her! I'll find the gift for her!"

Tenchi's eyes widened. "No! That's not it at all! I just-I just want to buy her a gift!"

"In denial are we? Or have you not told her how you feel?"

Tenchi tilted his head to his side. "Will you just . . . just help me? Please?"

About another half an hour, he found nothing. The short man had no taste what so ever. Tenchi checked his watch. It was six thirty. "Thank you anyway, sir. I need to get home." He bowed and took his leave.

-_-_-_-_-_-

A/N: It was short. AGAIN! Sorry. It's not really going anywhere fast, is it? Oh well. Have fun leaving me a review, yes?
