Surprise, Surprise!

As Kat & Sasami finished their first day of school there was a lot to think about.
Both girls have developed a definite crush on new student ,Trunks. As they climbed on board their bus home, they were immediately surprised by the site of Trunks boarding the same bus.

Sasami: Wow, he's on our bus, that means we can find out where he lives!

Both girls turned beet red at the site of the young man sitting 2 rows in front of them.

Katsurina: Yeah, & this gives me the chance to ask him out for next month's School dance!

Sasami: You!? Now wait just a minute, I was going to ask him out to that dance!

Kat: Well, I think then we should both ask him & see which one of us he chooses!

Sasami: Well, (With a laugh), at least we aren't fighting like my sister & Ryoko fought over Tenchi for so long.

Kat: The difference is that we started out as friends, & whatever happens we'll still be friends.

Sasami: I know, it took til this year for them to realize they were friends.

Kat: Boy, grown-ups can be so stubborn!

As the bus headed towards their stop, the girls got ready to ask Trunks about the dance, when they both froze in their tracks, He turned around & looked at both of them. They couldn't move until the bus stopped in front of the Masaki Shrine entrance.
As both girls sighed, they got up to leave the bus, both waving to Trunks as they left.
But to their surprise, he followed them out the bus!!

Kat (being Kat) then asked;

Kat: Trunks what are you doing, why did you get off the bus here?

Trunks: Ahhh, ( turning beet red with embarrassment), I..... am staying at the shrine!

Both girls face falted flat to the ground!

They got up and Sasami said,

Sasami: You stating with Grandfather?

Trunks Y..You..u mean Sensei Yousho, Y...Yesss!
(Stuttering, Trunks was getting very nervous as he was questioned by both girls!)

All three made their way to the Masaki home, where Kiyone & Mihoshi were watching TV.
Washu, Sensing Kat & Sasami's presence, as well as the New guest, she telepathically asked both;

Washu: [ Well, first day of school & you bringing boys home girls? What will your parents say? ] (laughing to herself)

Kat: [ Grandma, he's a guest of Yousho's.... who happens to be going to our school]

Sasami: [Yes Washu, So don't tell us about bringing boys home, he's our guest]

As the three teenagers neared the front door, they were greeted by Little Washu, who opened the door, she reverts back to her child figure when guest arrive, or when she simply feels like it.

Washu: Well, girls introduce me!!

Trunks, almost fell down at the site of another girl his own age
(Ho no not another one, he thought)

Kat: This is my..uhh... (ho boy, what do I say, that she's my grandma Who can change her appearence at will & is the Greatest scientific genius in the universe?!?!, No that won't fly!!)

Sasami: (Ho, what do we say about Washu to him, mmm, I can't think of anything to say)

Washu: ( Rescued the girls by saying) Ho Im Washu, their cousin!

Trunks: Boy, (nervously,) Do you have a close family !!

All three girls smiled & laughed, Trunks turned a deep shade of red , he was shown inside the house.
Washu then introduced the rest of the "family", Kiyone, & Mihoshi (Trunks just looked glassy eyed as he looked at both, not able to speak, this concerned Kat & Sasami greatly)

Both: [Ho, No competition!]

Washu: [Don't worry girls he is a 14 year old boy, most, if not all salivate, at the site of a beautiful woman, you'll each have you chance to ask him out later]

Kat: [Grandma, don't do that, now I know what Mom & Aunt Ryoko go through, so stop it OK?]

Sasami: [Washu, I don't want you doing that please!]

Trunks was finally ungluing his eyes for the GP officers who were sitting watching TV, when he noticed a silent conversation going on between all 3 girls. He also noticed something that made him question Washu;

Trunks: Aahh, Miss Washu;

Washu: Ho, no, no you can call me "Little Washu"

Trunks: O...Okay, Little Washu, how come you have an engagement & Wedding ring?

Washu was now the one grasping for an answer!

Washu: Ahh,well, ummmm.....

Just then, Hiro, Nagi & Yousho entered the home through the patio.

Yousho: Well Mr. Briefs I see you have met my Family, I am Yousho!

Trunks: (Shaken by the surprise of the 3 adults he answered), Yes Sensei.

Yousho: Let me introduce my Nephew & his wife, Hiro & Nagi Masaki. (Hiro got home by way flying home unnoticed by anyone)

They all bow & Trunks shakes the men's hands.

Trunks: Wow, you sir have a great amount of energy, are you a Warrior,

Hiro: Trunks, Don't you recognize me, I'm your Political Science teacher!

Trunks: OH, Kami.! I am Sorry Mr. Masaki, I forgot.

Hiro: that's OK, but I do practice with your sensei, so you can say that I am trained as a warrior.

Trunks: Yes sir, ( turning to Nagi), my father sends his regards Nagi-san, he told me to pass on this message.

Nagi: Well that hard butt, ( She laughed, Hiro looked confused) well what did he say?

Trunks: He said, that he can't wait to battle you again to see how he has improved to be the greatest warrior in this galaxy, that was his words, Nagi-san, I am only passing the message.

As the conversation went on, Kat & Sasami looked on intently as they started to resolve how to ask trunks out to the d
ance.

Nagi: Well, I think that our young man here needs a rest. I'll show him to the guest room & Hiro, will you take him to the Onsen, I'm sure he needs to relax after such a long trip.

Before they could talk to him Trunks was gone

Kat: I need to talk to mom about how She know his father, & where he's really from.

Sasami asked Washu to investigate the background of the boy...just to be sure about him.

Tokyo: 4 pm, Tenchi's apartment;

The "Roommates" have settled into a routine, Tenchi leaving at 7 a.m.. for his classes, While Ryoko & Ayeka took turns looking after Mayuka, at 12 noon, Tenchi returned for lunch, while Ryoko & Ayeka took their classes in the afternoon. by 5 p.m. the family was all home enjoying nightly outings to the local parks, window shopping at he local malls, & three times a week going to the dimensional portal
back to the Masaki home for dinners, & late afternoon training courtesy of Yousho.

It was the same day Trunks arrived that Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka & Mayuka turned up in the living room as Sasami & Kat was setting the dinner table.

Tenchi: Why the extra place setting? he asked Sasami

Sasami: Yousho has taken on a student, a son of a friend of Nagi's.

Ryoko: Ho and where is this guest?

Ayeka: Yes I'd like to meet him too.

Kat: Well, I can tell you that he's my age!

As they conversed, Hiro & trunks came in through the patio, from the Onsen.
Suddenly Trunks Powered up & tried to get everyone on behind him & away from Ryoko!

Trunks: You're the Space Pirate Ryoko, right!!!

Ryoko: & Who wants to know?
Trunks: I am Trunks Briefs, son of Vegeta, The Prince of Vegetasei, I heard you helped Freesia in several worlds he concqured

Ryoko: (Looking pained) I was under the influence of Kagato, I had no control over what I did!
Look kid, I know I did these horrible things, but I am not a Space Pirate anymore & I am not wanted here or anywhere else in this galaxy.

Ayeka: Trunks is it, well Lord Trunks, Ryoko had stated the truth to you.

Trunks: (Looking angry) who are you to say she had no control?

Ayeka, Then Tenchi explained Ryoko's story to Trunks, who settled down & listened.

Tenchi: ....and that about sums it up!

Trunks: *turns to Ryoko who was holding Tenchi's & Ayeka's hand as she felt weak in the knees at the retelling of her story.*

Kat felt her aunt's anguish & mentally comforted her. All made their way to the dinner table where Trunks was brought up to date on the Family's adventures from Tenchi releasing Ryoko to the just concluded battle with Kagato & Kendo.

Then Sasami, asked;

Well tell us about yourself, where you live & tell us about your Family & Friends

Trunks Nervously at first, but building more confidence he told of the origins of the Z-Warriors and the history of his earth, located at the opposite end of the galaxy. he told them of Goku, Gohan, Piccalo, Chi-chi, & His family Bulma his mother (Washu had heard of her at the science academy)
Vegeta, his Saiya-jin father, & his kid sister Bra.

Tenchi: Well, I am glad we aren't the only unusual family in this universe.
All broke out laughing and had a great dinner.

Tenchi had finished his training with Hiro, Trunks, & Yousho. He then gathered his family from the various parts of the house & they went back home to the Apartment.
As May was put to bed by tenchi, he then went to bed.
As he arrived in his bedroom he spotted his 2 Fiancee's in a deep conversation about the newest house guest at the Masaki home

Tenchi: What are you 2 talking about?

Ayeka : Well Lord Tenchi, didn't you fell how powerful this young man is?

Ryoko: I know his father, & I am a little leery about those Saiya-jins

Tenchi: Why My loves are you both worried about him, he seems like a nice & sincere kid?

Ayeka: I know from Funaho that there are no more Saiya-jins, since that villain Frieza had destroyed their home planet.

Ryoko: Nagi Knows his father more personally, I'll ask her about what Trunks said tonight.

Tenchi: OK, If you are discreet, I'll not object, but please don't jump to conclusions OK
I'll even ask kiyone to check on him, OK

Both: Thank you Tenchi!

With that he jumped in between them on their king size bed & he started to tickle both girls.
then they ganged up on him. He had never been happier. having the one he loved with him & not having all those doubted about who to choose lifted a heavy weight from his mind.
The only problem was that he couldn't keep many things secret from his beloved's.
but it was a 2 way street so he did feel the apprehension each had about the new arrival.
So he came up with an idea.

Tenchi: [ Why don't you 2 go tomorrow & talk to Nagi, & see about Trunk's background.
Just be back in time for your classes I'm sure Washu can baby sit while you talk to Nagi!]

Ryoko: [Tenchi, You sure seem to come up with the obvious idea, Thanks love]

Ayeka: [you will never cease to amaze me, Lord Tenchi]

They both kiss him on each cheek, & then all snuggle up to each other & dream for a hopeful future.

The Next Day

Nagi Woke up with a bad feeling in her stomach, this quickly followed with a trip to the bathroom of her new house, Her retching woke up & brought her husband to her side.

Hiro: Honey, are you OK??

Nagi: I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me! please don't worry my love.

Hiro: I'm still concerned, maybe (but hesitating) we should see you mother?

Nagi: ( who already had a not so pleasant morning gave a look that could kill a rhino)
That wouldn't be a great ides RIGHT NOW!!!

Hiro: OK, I'll leave you alone.....but, if you don't get any better, I think you should go see her
(Nagi was still angry at Hiro for suggesting she go to her mother, but reading his feelings she simmered down & knew he was concerned so much because he cared so much about her.

Nagi: Tell you what, if I don't get any better by tomorrow, I'll go see Mom, OK?

Hiro: That sounds fine to me.

Hiro then helped his wife up & they headed towards Kat's room to get her up for school.

On the bus to school, Kat & then Sasami got up from their seats & then sat down on each side of a surprised Trunks.

They had planned to do this so they could corner the young Saiya-jin to ask him out.

Kat: Well Trunks Sasami & me want to ask you a question?
(Trunks Started sweating & getting redder by the minute)

Sasami: What Kat means to say is this, we want to got the school harvest Festival dance,

Kat: ...With you! (The girls thought if they both went with him, he could then choose fairly between them. They knew it had worked for Ayeka & Ryoko, but they just wanted to date Trunks, not get married!)

Trunks seemed to almost pass out with the question the girls asked him, then as he regained his composure he thought about it,

Trunks: are you 2 sure that you want me to take you "both"?

In unison they said, "YES"!

Well, if it's OK with Nagi & Ayeka, then Yes!
They both yelled out in glee, & kissed Trunks one on each cheek, he promptly passed out with a crooked smile on his face.

Back at the Masaki home:

Washu woke up with an uneasy feeling.

Washu: In adult form (I don't feel so good), then as she tried to get up she lost much of her strength & toppled over on the floor next to her bed.
Upon hearing this Nobiyuki got out of bead & cradled his now dizzy wife.

Washu: get me to my lab, quick!
With this he ran down the stairs from their room, & got her on one of the stasis chambers, Washu then called for her medical equipment & on que she was put through various examinations & tests. As Nobiyuki watch with skepticism. when the examination was over, she instructed her mechanisms to give her a shot, & with in seconds, she was able to get out of her chamber & walk to her husband with a smile on her face.

As Nobiyuki got up, she sat him down again.

Washu: Well, you want to know why I was weak & fell, right?
He knodded affirmatively well I guess I have to tell it to you straight....

Nobiyuki: Oh Honey, you aren't dying, please I can't take it if you died, please?!

Washu: NO, I'm fine.... (as he showed relief)... and so is our baby! ( Letting it sink in!

Nobiyuki: ....Baby? Baby? BABY!!!!!!! He picked up his wife & whirled her around, the he ran throughout the house with her in his arms crying Baby baby as he went, Washu was hanging on for dear life & having a big smile on her face!
Then Nagi & Hiro showed up & gave her mother a smile & a [Congratulations] telepathically!
When Nobiyuki stopped out of breath, he put Washu down & was helped by Hiro to the kitchen to grab some water to calm down.

Nagi: Mom you're pregnant, Who I'm so happy for you!

Washu: Thanks my little Nagi, & I know you have been sick!

Nagi: Did Hiro tell you, oh I'm going to ring his neck!!

Washu: Nagi, you & I have a mental link, I knew when you were throwing up this morning!

Nagi: Oh yeah, sorry I forgot,

Washu: let me just check you her, you don't have to go to the lab?

Nagi: Mother, I am not going to strip here!

Washu: No, I'm just going to use a hand-held scanner. No stripping, OK?

Nagi: Sorry Mom, I am irritable today aren't I!

Washu: (as she scans, she smiles & shakes her head yes)
And I know why, I'm going to be a Grandma again!

Nagi: I'm Pregnant too?!?!?

Yes my Little Nagi, Were going to have Babies, together!
