A/N:
Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Oh, and Mystery Squeezit, thanks for telling me
about that new paragraph thing. They never taught that to me in school! I always
thought that you start a new paragraph when there's a new main idea. Anyway, I
hope this is less confusing. I reformatted Chapter 1 too.

A Day
in the Life of...
Chapter
2
At
that moment, Brock fell out of the tunnel.
"Ow.
What happened?" asked Brock. "Where am I? This doesn't look like the forest."
Tenchi
ran over to see what had happened. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah,"
answered Brock. "But where am I? And who are you?"
"My
name is Tenchi Masaki, and you just fell out of Washu's inter-dimensional
tunnel. You're on the only road to the Masaki Shrine."
Brock
was very confused. "The inter- what?" he asked.
"The
inter-dimensional tunnel," explained Tenchi. "If you go through it, it
automatically transports you to the other side of the portal. I wonder what it's
doing here though?"
"My
name's Brock. I don't know what's going on, but all I know is that I've got to
get back to Route 34," said Brock.
"Don't
worry," assured Tenchi. "All you have to do to get back where you came from is
to go through the tunnel again."
Brock
tried to walk back into the tunnel, but he slammed into it. "Hey! It's solid as
a rock now!" yelled Brock as he pounded his fist on the tunnel.
"Hm...
The only way you wouldn't be able to go through the tunnel is if something is
blocking it on the other side," said Tenchi. "Why don't you come to my house for
awhile, so I we can ask Washu abut this?"
That
stopped Brock's pounding. "Okay. I guess I don't have a choice," he replied.
"So,
where are you from?" asked Tenchi, as they walked toward the house.
"I'm
from Pewter City, but right now I'm traveling with my friends Ash Ketchum and
Misty Waterflower on Ash's Pokemon journey. We were just on Route 34. Ash was
battling a trainer when I saw a bright light in the forest. I went to go check
it out, and I got sucked in this pink star," answered Brock.
Tenchi
was very confused. "Pokemon? Route 34? Pewter City? I've never heard of these
places."
The
Masaki household finally came into sight. As soon as Tenchi got inside, Ryoko
teleported in and glomped Tenchi.
"Tenchi!
Where were you? I was worried!" she exclaimed.
"Get
your hands off Lord Tenchi!" screamed Ayeka. "I'm sure he is very tired, and
doesn't need you around!"
"Oh
yeah, wanna bet?"
"GGRR..."
Their usual glaring contest ensued, but Brock ran between them and grabbed
Ayeka's hands.
"Oh,
such a pretty girl like you shouldn't be scowling! How about I take you out to
dinner instead?" he asked.
"Let
go of me you wacko!" yelled Ayeka as she punched Brock in the jaw.
"Ow..."
"See,
Ayeka! You're so ugly that only demented people want to go out with you!"
taunted Ryoko.
"WHAT!!"
'Okay,
now would be a good time to leave,' thought Tenchi, as he sneaked by the arguing
girls and dragged Brock over to Washu's lab.
"Washu?"
asked Tenchi.
"Yes?"
Washu was still typing away on her computer.
"I
need to talk to you about your inter-dimensional tunnel, Washu," said Tenchi.
"Well
what about my tunnel?"
"I was
walking along the road by Grandpa's shrine, when I saw the tunnel right in the
middle of the road. Then he fell out." Tenchi pointed to Brock, who was looking
at all of Washu's strange inventions. "His name is Brock Slate, and he doesn't
seem to be around here."
Washu
started to panic. "Uh, there's a perfectly good explanation for all of this."
"There
should be, because you weren't supposed to use the inter-dimensional tunnel
after all the trouble it caused me in Tokyo," sighed Tenchi.
"I
couldn't just leave it there to collect dust!" protested Washu. "It's one of my
best inventions! Well, after thing I was going to use to destroy the universe,
and Mega Washu, and the Alternate Reality machine, and-"
"Can
you just tell me why the tunnel was in the middle of the road, and where Brock
came from?" cut off Tenchi.
"Okay..."
Washu launched into an explanation. (Let's skip to the end of
it.)
"So you're saying that Brock is
from a different dimension? The world of Pokemon?" asked Tenchi.
"Yep. That's exactly what I'm
saying."
"Well how do we get him back
there? The other side's blocked. "
"You see, that's the problem. I
changed the flow of time in their world temporarily so that one hour here is
equal to one minute there. So a minute is equal to a second. I did that in case
somebody like Brock over there walked through. Then they wouldn't be missed. I'm
trying to dismantle the tunnel right now, but it'll take a few days. The only
way he can get back is if the other side is cleared," said Washu.
"Okay, but-"
"YOW!!!" Brock had just been
electrocuted by something.
"Oh dear," sighed Washu. "Brock!
C'mere." A sizzled Brock walked over to Washu. "I'm Little Washu, the greatest
scientific genius in the universe. I'm the one who accidentally got you here.
You can't go back now, but just stay here awhile okay? And don't touch anymore
of my inventions."
"Sure. You know, you'd be pretty
cute if you were a little older," said Brock.
"Older?!" Washu fell out of her
chair. "I'm only about 20,000 years older than you! Now if you'll excuse me, I
have a lot of work to do." Tenchi and Brock left the room.
(A/N: Only about 45 minutes have
passed so far.)
*Grumble* "Ah, I'm kind of
hungry," said Brock. "Do you have anything to eat?"
"Sure," replied Tenchi. "Sasami
will make you something." They headed off toward the kitchen.
"Meow!"
"Ryo-Ohki! Those carrots are for
dinner! You know better than to eat - oh hi Tenchi! You're back! Who's your
friend?" asked Sasami.
"This is Brock. There's a long
story behind how he got here. You can ask Washu about it later," said Tenchi.
"Anyway, he's really hungry so-" Tenchi was cut off by the sound of chopping.
Brock had put on his apron was already busy making something.
Sasami was very surprised. "Wow
Brock, I didn't know you could cook! I usually do all the cooking around here."
In a few minutes, Brock had made
enough lunch for 10 people! "Lunch is served!" shouted Brock. Everyone came and
started digging in, while Tenchi and Sasami just stared. No one noticed Brock.
"Mm! Sasami, you really knocked
yourself out this time!" complimented Mihoshi through a mouthful of food.
"I wish I could say that I made
it Mihoshi, but I didn't." Sasami pointed to Brock. "He did."
Everyone stopped and looked at
Brock. "Oh yeah, I remember you. You're the guy to tried to take Ayeka out to
dinner," said Ryoko.
"Tenchi," asked Katsuhito. "Who
is this boy? Why don't you introduce us?
"Hello everyone. My name is
Brock. Little Washu sort of got me here on accident, but I'll be leaving as soon
as she fixes the inter-dimensional tunnel. Do you like my lunch?"
"Yeah!" shouted everybody.
Everyone introduced themselves and finished eating.
After lunch, Brock went out to
the porch. Tenchi came out to join him. "You sure have a nice life living here,"
said Brock. "All these girls..." Brock went starry eyed while Tenchi
sweatdropped.
"It's not always great living
here," countered Tenchi. "You never get any peace and quiet, and I can never
talk to Ryoko and Ayeka without them getting in a big fight."
"You have girls fighting over
you?! At home, I can't even get a girl to go out with me! Well, maybe that's
because Misty always pulls me away first, but that's a different story. I'd love
to have your life."
"What's your life usually like?"
asked Tenchi. Brock went on to tell him all about Ash, Misty, Pokemon, and Team
Rocket.
"Your life doesn't sound too bad
either," commented Tenchi.
"It isn't," said Brock. "It's
just that I sick of being rejected all the time! I remember Professor Ivy. She-
No! That name..." Brock curled up on the floor. *sweatdrop*
"Well, it would be cool if we
could switch places for a day, wouldn't it?" asked Tenchi.
"Oh boys! I think that can be
arranged." Washu came out from behind the door. "I was on my way to tell you
that the tunnel was open, and I couldn't help overhearing your conversation. I
might know a way you can switch places for 24 hours."

A/N: Sorry to leave another
cliffhanger. This chapter was originally going to be 8 pages long, but I
shortened it because I don't like reading chapters that long. The next chapter
will be out soon. It's almost all typed. So R/R please!
