Chapter 4: Carrot Cake + Snakes = YUCK

Chapter 4: Carrot Cake + Snakes = Trouble!

"Tenchi, I'll go check out the hot springs and see if Ryo-ohki's there. You better check the carrots fields, okay?" Katsuhito told Tenchi.

"Sure, Grandpa," Tenchi replied. "Okay then, we better get going."

**Tenchi, Ayeka, Ryoko, and Mihoshi go to the fields and Tenchi's grandfather (a.k.a. Yosho) goes off to the hot springs**

*****

"Oh, good, there's Ryo-ohki," Ryoko said.

Suddenly, monsters pop out of the ground and surround Ryo-ohki.

"Meeeeeoowww!!"

"We better help Ryo-ohki!" shouted Ryoko.

"Those monsters look like giant carrots! I guess that girl must have mutated them," commented Ayeka.

"My carrots!" Tenchi complains.

"Let's get 'em," Ryoko told them.

Mihoshi was the first person to attack. She shot at the carrot, and actually hit it!

"Thank goodness," commented Ryoko.

Mihoshi answered her by saying, "Just what do you mean by that? I mean, I may not be the best Galaxy Policeman. Or is it Policewoman? Hmmm… I gotta ask my boss about that. Only problem is that my ship is crashed. If I could find Washuu then I could figure out a way to-"

"Is there a point to this?" Ryoko said, cutting Mihoshi off.

"Well, no, there's not… but… OW!" Something had flown toward Mihoshi, coming from the direction of one of the mutated carrots.

"Where the hell did that come from?!?" screamed Ryoko.

"Ryoko, it came from out of one of the carrot's mouth," Tenchi replies in a exasperated manner.

"Oh good! If I collect those little carrots I can get Sasami to make carrot cake out of them. Oooooh! Even better! I could get those big carrots and have Sasami use those!," Mihoshi said, for no obvious reason.

"You idiot! Have you forgotten? First of all, we're in the middle of a battle here! (Ryoko blocks one of the attacks of the carrots, retaliates, and kills it) Anyway, if those carrots are mutated, then you don't want to eat them. And besides, SASAMI ISN'T EXACTLY AVAILABLE TO MAKE CARROT CAKE!!! So, if you want your precious carrot cake, you'll have to try and not just sit there!" Ryoko yelled at Mihoshi.

"But I… I… Waaahhhhhh!!! Why are you so mean? You tell me that you are going to have Tenchi when everyone knows that Tenchi likes me not you! I mean (sobs), you don't have to criticize me every other second. I'm sorry that I'm hungry. And when I'm hungry, I always think of Sasami making us food. (sniffles)"

"Oh, shut up you useless piece of…"

"Ryoko!" Tenchi yelled. "DO NOT speak to Miss Mihoshi like that. It's not nice, and besides, she's Mihoshi. She can't help it," Tenchi told Ryoko.

"What does that mean???" questioned Mihoshi.

"Sorry, I, uh, didn't mean it like that."

"Well that's better, Tenchi. Ryoko, you're right. I will help get Sasami back, and we must focus on the matter at hand, getting Ryo-ohki back. (she throws a teddy bomb at the other carrots and the rest are destroyed. Unexpectedly, all the wounds inflicted close up.)

"What the…"

"What in the world…"

"How did that happen?"

Ryo-ohki bounced up, looking happy, and then all of what just happened is forgotten.

"Meeeoow!"

"Hey! Where's Grandpa?" Tenchi asked no one in particular.

"You're right! If Ryo-ohki's here with us, then that's bad. We better go get him," Ryoko said.

*****

"Tenchi, help!" That was Yosho's cry for help from Tenchi. He couldn't fight the monsters that were attacking him.

"These look like snakes! They must have mutated from the snakes in the surrounding woods!" Ayeka said.

"What are you, the narrator of our life?" inquired of Ayeka.

"No…"

"Hey, Mihoshi! Why don't you put those snakes in your yummy carrot cake. It'll be even better," said Ryoko sarcastically.

"Oh, shut up!" yelled everyone.

"Ummm… Tenchi? Are you gonna help me. I'm sorta in a fix."

"Sure, Grandpa, hold on."

Author's Notes: Okay, I know. That ending was pretty shabby, but I couldn't think of a better way to stop at this part. Sorry, but I will be writing more. If anyone has a suggestion, please tell me in your review.
