Disasters in Painting
Episode 8
The sun started to rise over the horizon lighting up the terrain around the slumbering Misaki family. Slowly tenchi bats his eyes and begins to yawn as he sits up stretching out his aching arms. Slowly his eyes began to focus and looks down and is surprised to see Ryoko's head lying on his lap using it like a pillow. Calmly he rolled his eyes back exhaling. "Oh great, now what do I do?" quickly he grabs his pillow and slowly tucks it under her gently resting head, and in one quick move he kicks his legs out and places the pillow beneath her head. Instinctively ryoko wrapped her arms around the pillow in a slight embrace, cuddling with it. Tenchi smiles after seeing this and stairs at her for a second before trying to her up, but when he did, he realized that his legs were asleep from ryoko sleeping on them all night and stumbles forward, "SPLASH!" right over the side into the water.
Immediately every one woke up (except for ryoko who was fast a sleep) puzzled by the noise.
"Tenchi!" Ayeka screamed as she stood up and ran over the to edge. She looked down at him and started to giggle as a frog leaped off his head. "Are you alright?" she asked.
Tenchi looked up at her and smiled "hehe, yea I guess so"
"Here give me your hand" she reached down and grabbed his hand.
"Hey what are you two doing!"? Yelled Ryoko from behind them.
"Wha? Oh no!" Ayeka screams as she loses her balance and SPLASH! Right into the water next to him.
Ryoko looks at them puzzled as she flies over to them. "Tenchi, uhhh, what are you doing in there?"
Tenchi gins at her "It wasn't my idea! My legs fell asleep after you slept on them all night and I stumbled in here!"
Ayeka's head surfaces out from underneath the water next to tenchi. She shakes her head from side to side, getting the wet hair from out of her face and screams at ryoko "Well just don't stand there! Get us out!"
Ryoko hovers above each of them offering them her hand and pulls them out back onto solid ground.
Sasami runs over after seeing tenchi dripping wet "Oh tenchi, are you alright? Your not hurt are you?"
"No I'm fine Sasami, just a little wet is all."
"Here, take my blanket, otherwise your gonna catch cold"
"Thanks Sasami"
"Eh hem" Ayeka coughs out.
"Ryoko give Ayeka you blanket"
"Yea, right and get it all wet?" she says sarcastically.
"Ryoko" he says again sternly.
"Oh all right" she says as she grabs her blanket and throws it over Ayeka's head.
"How kind" Ayeka says sarcastically from beneath the blanket and pulls it off her head and wraps it around her self.
"Well I guess I better start breakfast" Sasami says cheerfully.
"Uhh, Sasami" tenchi says to her.
"Oh, right, the house is gone, what are we going to do?"
"COREECTION! It WAS gone!" a voice said from behind them.
"Huh?" every one looks over to see Washu standing there by the waters edge.
"I already
replaced it," she said with a big grin on her face.
"You did?" tenchi said ecstatically "That's great!"
"Well, you don't expect a beautiful young lady like me to sleep out there in the wilderness do you? All those wild animals could tear little ole' me to pieces" After hearing that Ryo-Ohkie and Ken-Ohkie just starred at each other, puzzled.
"I'd hardly call this the wilderness" Tenchi replied smugly.
"Oh, before I for get, I made one minor adjustment to the house."
"Adjustment?" he said puzzled.
"ITS PINK!!!!!!!!!" Tenchi screams as his voice echoed across the valley.
"Oh, how pretty" Sasami says.
"Yea!" Replies Mihoshi.
"My house is pink?" tenchi says again as he falls to his knees.
"What's a matter tenchi, don't you like it?"
Tenchi jumps up and points at Washu "Change it back Washu! Right now before dad sees this!"
"Relax tenchi, besides, I cant"
"What!"
"Once the house is in this dimension I cant change it, nope, if you want to change the color your going to have to do it the old fashion way. Besides, do you know how hard it is to get a house this size through that little door?" Tenchi's head drops in shame.
"I don't see why we need to spend our entire day painting the house any way, I think its fine the way it is." Ryoko says.
"Lazy bum" Ayeka says quietly.
"Shut up, besides, why would you want to spend your whole day painting the house anyway"?
"Any thing to help out tenchi, after being so hospitable, it's the least that we can do." She looks at tenchi, "I would be happy to help"
"Shmoozer" ryoko said quietly. Quickly she brushes up next to tenchi and seductively says "Come on tenchi, the house is fine, lets go have fun like you have been promising me"
"It, It's pink…." He replies.
Ryoko looks at him oddly "Are you alright?" she asks as she waves her hand in front of him. "I don't think that he can hear me"
"Pink"
"Riiiighhh, I'm just going to go over there now" she says as she begins to float away. Ryoko didn't get far before her escape was stopped by Washu.
"Where do you think your going?"
"Ahh?"
" Here you go" she hands ryoko a paintbrush and a can of paint. "Get going!"
"You can't be serious!"
"You want tenchi to be stuck like that all day?" they all look back at tenchi.
"My house is pink," he says.
"Oh, alright." She pouts as she begins walking towards the house.
Ayeka looks over at Ryoko holding the bucket and brush in hand "Uhh, washu, where did you get those supplies from?" By the time she looked back at Washu, she was holding out another bucket and brush.
"Don't ask, just paint."
"Sigh" slowly Ayeka takes the paint bucket and brush, turns around and starts walking towards the house as well.
After ryoko and Ayeka started to paint the house, tenchi slowly began to snap out of the trance that he was in. He looks over at Washu who is holding out a bucket of paint and paintbrush in front of him.
"Here you go"
"Hey Washu, uhh, where are you getting all this paint from?" Mihoshi asked.
"Less talking, more painting" she says, out of nowhere she hands her a bucket and brush as well.
Mihoshi and tenchi look at each other puzzled and shrug as they too walk towards the house. Tenchi only takes a few steps and turns around, "Wait a second! I can't paint the house dressed like this!
Washu rolls her eyes and brings up her computer and starts typing. With in a few seconds, poof, Tenchi's cloths changed into white overalls with a white cap. Again, poof, Ayeka's cloths change, and then poof Ryoko's.
"Really Washu, can you pick any thing more bland then this?" ryoko complained.
"Shut up and paint"
"Humph" she says, as she looks her self over. "Well I guess it will have to do," she says as she turns the cap on her head around so that the bill faced backwards and starts slapping paint onto the second story of the house.
Washu eyes ryoko then turns towards tenchi "Well I guess I will go get my invention now, I have had something tucked away for some time now that might just do the job" Washu starts walking towards to the house when she is grabbed from behind. Immediately she turns around to see Tenchi's stern face.
"I think we have had enough of your inventions for one day" and hands her a paintbrush.
"Me a scientific genius, do manual labor?!"
"You got it"
"(Sigh)" and with a big frown on her face she walks towards the house. "I can't believe that I am doing this!"
Several hours have past and the group is working their way towards each other to the front of the house. On one side we see Mihoshi who had painted nothing but big flowers and smiley faces on the side of the house. On the other we see Ayeka who is painting very slowly and perfectly but has only covered the slightest amount of space. Above her is Ryoko (since she could fly, she had the task of doing the upper levels) who was slapping the paint on, humming to her self. As she splashes the paint on, drops of it fall below on to Ayeka, drop by drop. She soon looks up, angrily; only to have a big drop hit her square in the face. She begins the shake in anger and takes her brush and throws it at ryoko hitting her smack dab in the back of her head "Why don't you watch what your doing!"
Immediately ryoko turns and looks down at Ayeka whose face was all full paint and starts to laugh.. "HAHA, you should see your self like that, hahaha, I wish I had a camera! Hahaha"
"Grrrrrrrr, I've had enough of you" and releases a pulse of energy at the laughing ryoko, flipping her upside down and backwards face first into the house in a area where she had just painted. Slowly she peals her self off the wall. Her entire front of her body was covered in paint, leaving a silhouette of her on the side of the house "hahaha, now I wish I were the one that had the camera!" she exclaimed.
"Alright, you want to fight! Catch this!" She yells as she tosses the can of paint at her, drenching her from head to toe. In retaliation Ayeka does the same thing. They stair at each other as little bolts of lightning shoot between them. As the anger raged between them the two of them take their paintbrushes and start to duel like a pair of fencers.
From out of the front door Sasami walks with a glass of water and hands it to tenchi "Here you go tenchi, you look thirsty"
"Thanks Sasami" he pauses "What was that?" he looks over in the direction that he heard the sound come from "did you just hear something?"
"Yea, I think I did tenchi"
From around the corner ryoko and Ayeka emerge. Both of them are both completely covered in paint, dueling with the paintbrushes. At first all tenchi could do is blink in disbelief. And then starts laughing uncontrollably "HAHAHA you two should see your selves!"
They stop fighting and look angrily at tenchi "Stay out of this!"
"Yea" ryoko agrees.
Gulp
"Smile!" a voice said from behind.
"Huh?" both Ayeka and Ryoko turn around to see Aeries standing there with Nobuyuki's camcorder.
"This is just too perfect! You know how much I am going to be able to sell this to Washu for!" Aeris disappear and reappears next to tenchi, "Lets get this angel now" and then brushes up against him making him grin and sweet.
"Grrrr!!!! Give that to me! Washu already has enough embarrassing tapes of me!" Ryoko runs towards aeries, but before she was able to tackle her, she disappears "CRASH!" both ryoko and tenchi smash to the ground hard. Ryoko pauses for a second. At first she was very upset and the trickery but then smiles down at tenchi. As some paint drips off of her on to his face, streaming down his cheek. She was about to say something when he yells, "Get off me!" and shoves her off in to the air, where she stayed hovering with a frown on her face.
"Man this is good stuff!" Aeries exclaims "I'm going to be able to send this in to funniest home videos!"
Tenchi looks at himself now covered in paint as well. He looks back up to see Ayeka and ryoko who have begun to argue again. "Grrrrr, STOP THIS NOW!!!!!" he screams.
The two of them stop and look at tenchi with beads of sweet beading from the back of their heads. From around the corner Mihoshi appears, who by her self had dribbled pain over the front of herself and had little pictures painted on her cheeks. "What's all this commotion Sasami?"
"Ryoko and Ayeka are fighting again."
Mihoshi starts walking towards them "now you two," she begins to say as she realizes that they are both covered in paint. "Oh my, what happened to you? Where you attacked by some kind of paint monster or something?"
Ayeka giggles as she points to Ryoko.
"Grrr, I will show you a monster!" Ryoko screams as she takes after Mihoshi.
"AHHHH!!!!" Mihoshi screams as she starts running away, all the while holding her bucket of paint.
"Oh this is going to win me first prize for sure!" Aeris exclaims, when all the sudden they start running in her direction. "Oh no, stay back!".
"Wha? AHHH!" Mihoshi running towards Aeris trips and lets go of the bucket and the paint splashes all over Aeris and the camcorder.
Ryoko pauses in shock and then sees Aires dripping wet with paint. "HAHAHAH!" Aeries held her arms out to her side, letting the paint drip off with the camcorder in one hand when "boing!" the door to the camcorder opens up, spilling out all of the film on to the ground, "HAHAHAHA!!!!! This is just too funny! Serves you right! HAHAHA"
Ayeka walks up next to Ryoko "I agree" she says as she also beings to start laughing.
Mihoshi looks up from the ground seeing what she has done "Oh no!, I am sooo sorry" she say as she jumps to her feet and walks over "Here let me help you"
"No! Stay back! You're a walking disaster area!"
"HAHAH, yea, hurricane Mihoshi! Hahah" ryoko says still laughing.
"Hey what's that supposed to mean Ryoko"?
"Ah haha, nothing" she takes a deep breath and then says "I'm going to clean up and take a bath, after all this hard work I think I deserve a little R&R"
"Just like you to give up so easily"
"We can always finish later, common, I just got some more Sake" she says with a big grin.
"Welllll, I guess it has been a pretty long day, and we certainly can't continue like this"
"Come on princess, let's go" Ryoko says as the two of them head off in the direction of the Onsen.
"Come one Aeris, you need to clean up to," Mihoshi says as she grabs Aeris arm and starts dragging her towards the Onsen as well.
"No, stop, get away, leave me alone" she says as she kicks and screams as she is being dragged.
Tenchi looks at the group fading into the distance and sighs. "Well I guess I better go see what the damage is" Tenchi did the front of the house, and it looked perfect as he smiles and nods at his own work and walks towards the side Mihoshi did. Immediately his eyes bulge out as he sees the side of this house covered in rainbows flowers and pictures of bunny rabbits. "Mihoshi…" he says out loud "I should have guessed something like this would happen.." He keeps walking "its not too bad I guess, I should be able to-" tenchi rounds the corner to the side that Ryoko and Ayeka did "What!!!! I, I, I cant believe this!" The whole side of the house was in complete ruins. On the top half the paint was very uneven and slopped on, some spots being missed completely, with a big blotch resembling ryoko in the middle. On the bottom there where streams of paint that had dripped from the top and only a very small portion that looked like it was actually done correctly.
"Those two…" he says still in complete shock. And stumbles towards the back of the house. Again, as he rounds the corner his eyes bulged "WOW! This, this looks, GREAT!" the side of the house looked fantastic, like true professionals did it. "Sasami? Washu? Where are you" he called out. "Hmm, must be inside" Tenchi walks inside the house to see Washu and Sasami on the couch watching TV. Washu's favorite TV show was on and Sasami was playing with Ryo-Ohki and Ken-Ohkie.
"Oh, hi tenchi!" Sasami shouts out.
Washu looks over and smiles "Hi'ya tenchi, how's it going"
"I just wanted you to know that you guys did a great job on painting"
"Thanks tenchi" Sasami says, "But Washu did all the work, I just watched"
"Huh? Washu, it must have taken you all afternoon to do all that"
"Hehehe, silly, we've been done for hours!"
"What!"
"Yea, I told you I had a invention for this, but youuuu wouldn't listen"
Tenchi smiles "I'm just surprised that it worked is all"
"Hey what's that supposed to mean!"?
"Uh, nothing, do you think that you could finish up the other two sides of the house for me, please?"
"Sure, but only if-"
"Please little Washu!"
"Hehe, your defiantly learning there tenchi my boy"
Washu jumps off that couch and walks to the side of the house that Ryoko and Ayeka did. "Boy, those kid, no self control, what a mess!"
"Can you fix it little Washu?"
"No problem!" she says as she whips out her computer and starts typing. With in few seconds tiny little robots appear and race from side to side spray-painting the house. The cloud of spray cleared and the little droids flew to the next side of the house.
"Wow, this is fantastic!"
"See, you should show a little more faith in my inventions tenchi"
" I guess your right Washu" he says as he puts his hand behind his head an smiles "Well, I guess I will go inside now and wash up before dinner, thanks again Washu"
"Any time tenchi"
"Ahhh, this feels so good"
"Yes, nice and relaxing" Ayeka looks up to see Aeris standing in the corner by herself "Aires, aren't you going to join us?"
"Honestly, I can't understand how you people can bath in a cesspool like that" she responds.
Ryoko looks at her, a little buzzed from all the sake she has been drinking "Awww, common and join us, I'll let you drink a little of my sake" she says with a smile.
"That's another thing I don't understand, why are you pretending to like drinking so much. I know it doesn't effect you"
"Heh, shows how much you know, you know what I think, I think she's embarrassed."
"Embarrassed of what!"
"Of showing us your naked body, silly"
"Don't be ridicules"
"Well, then, come on in, the water is fine"
Aeries roll her eyes "Fine!" she says as she disappears and reappears in the water next to Mihoshi. "There, you happy"
"Now, just sit back and relax, your so uptight"
"UPTIGHT!"
Ryoko shoves a bottle of sake into her hands, "here drink this" Aeris gives her a funny look and starts to chug the entire bottle. "Now just lay back and let it happen" Taking her advice, Aeris lays back in the water.
"I don't see the point of- " Before she could finish the sentence she began to get of funny grin on her face and her skin began to turn red.
"See?"
"Don't be such a hog ryoko" Ayeka shouts and grabs the sake bottle out of her hands and takes a drink, immediately she spits it back out "Blah! What is this?" she reads the bottle, "I never even heard of this brand before" she looks closer "500yen? For a bottle of sake?" she looks at the pile of bottles behind her "I think I'm starting to get the picture"
Ryoko takes the bottle out of her hands "good, more for me then" she says with a smile. Causing Ayeka to frown and sink into the water.
Aeries immediately takes the bottle out of her hand "You've had enough" leaving ryoko with a frown, and also sinks into the water.
Then Mihoshi takes the bottle out of Aeris hands and chugs the entire thing down before anyone could say anything. "Ahhhh"
"Whoa, Where did you learn to dink like that Mihoshi?" asked Aeris.
She smiles "What do you think we do at the academy during our off hours? Do you have any more?"
Sasami busts into the Onsen "Are you done yet!" seconds after opening the door she plugs her nose "ewwww, it sinks like sake in here, what have you been doing?"
"Sorry Sasami" they all say.
"Well be out in a minute" Ayeka replies.
"Well, ok, but hurry up, I don't want the food to get cold"
Dinnertime has come and all of the girls and tenchi are gathered around the dinner table as they start to dig in.
"Well, it looks like the house is done being painted"
Tenchi looks at ryoko "Yea, no thanks to you three!"
"Wha, What did I do?"
Tenchi grins and starts picking at his food.
"Lighten up tenchi" Washu says as she leans over and grabs some food with her chopsticks "every thing worked out to be ok"
"Yea I guess"
Ryoko scotches over closer to tenchi "so tenchi, what are we going to do tomorrow, huh?"
"Ahhhhh"
"Leave tenchi alone!"
"Ok this is getting a little old princess, why cant you just leave me and tenchi alone!"
"Not so long as I live in this house, I will not let it happen, no way, never"
Tenchi grins and sighs. Ryoko stands up "Grrrr, what cant you admit that tenchi like me better"
"Tenchi would have done the same for me in that situation, there is no proof that he likes you better!"
"Proof?! You want proof!"
"Ryoko!" Tenchi screams.
She pauses "Why do you always yell at me tenchi! Tell her!"
"I-uh"
"Tenchi?"
From the other room the door opens and Nobuyuki walks in. "so how is my happy family of space aliens?"
"FINE! FORGET YOU THEN!" Ryoko yells at tenchi and disappears.
"Ryoko, wait!" he tries to say.
"I can't stand this any more, I'm going to my room, humph" and Ayeka stands up and walks out.
"Was it something I said?" Nobuyuki asks as he stands at the door.
"Oh no, Nobuyuki, just Ayeka and Ryoko fighting over tenchi again, that's all." Mihoshi says with a cheery disposition.
"Fighting again huh? I would have thought that the little camping trip that we sent tenchi on would have solved that problem a long time ago" he says as he takes his trench coat off.
"Camping trip?!"
"Oh, right, I mean the family trial, hehe"
"So that was just a lie!!!!"
"Uhhhhhhh"
"I can't believe that my entire family would lie to me like that, over something so trivial!" Tenchi gets up and walks away. "I'm going to my room!"
"Well, I guess if every one is done eating, I will clear the table" Sasami gets up and runs into the kitchen. All that remained was Nobuyuki and Washu, who just starred at each other, Washu with a big smile on her face.
"Well, at least your not mad at anyone" Just as he said that lightning clashed out side and rain started to pelt the skylight. Immediately Washu's frowned, slowly got up, all hunched over, groaning and walked into her lab. "What was that all about?" he said as he looked up through the skylight. As he did lightning struck again, lighting up the glass revealing that it was covered with streaming paint. "What is that," he asked himself.
"Nobuyuki got up and walked outside in the rain, using his newspaper to block the rain, then the next lighting clash lit up the entire house, showing the pink layer beneath. In the complete dark we hear him scream "MY HOUSE!!!!!"
From a top the house Ryoko sat look out over the landscape watching the lighting strike. She was getting soaked, but she didn't care. She scrunched herself up into a ball as a single tear streamed down her cheek. She closed her eyes and dropped her soaking wet head down into her crosses arms.
