A/N: Sorry it took so long to get this chapter out! You see, I just moved, (to Gurnee, IL) and my home computer wasn't hooked up to the Internet for a while. I had to use this stupid computer in the apartment complex clubhouse. It was sooo bad!!! One computer kept signing me off all the time!! (It had AOL.) The other was ok, but I still didn't like it. :( Ok, enough with all this chit chat. Let's get the chapter started!

A Day in the Life of...

Chapter 4

Washu was still typing away at her laptop. "Well, that went relatively well," she said to no one in particular. "Now all I have to do is make time synchronized in both worlds, and I can start studying these Pokemon!" *grumble* "I better get something to eat though first, if I'm going to pull an all-nighter." Washu got up, and headed for the kitchen.

"Hey Brock! I mean, Tenchi! Do you think you can whip up something to eat? You cook almost as good as Sasami does!" Washu looked around, but Brock/Tenchi was nowhere in sight.

"Really, Lord Tenchi? I'd be honored to have dinner with you!" Ayeka and Brock/Tenchi were sitting out on the porch.

"Great! How about tonight?" asked Brock/Tenchi.

"Tonight would be fine," replied a blushing Ayeka. Meanwhile, Washu was watching them from behind the door. (I guess she likes eavesdropping, huh? ^_^)

"I see Brock doesn't waste any time. Ryoko isn't going to be very pleased though. Oh well," sighed Washu. "I'll just make something for myself."

Route 34

"Hey Brock! Where are you?" Ash and Misty were searching for Brock.

"That's strange," said Misty. "He said he was just going to check something out in the forest."

*FLASH!*

"Huh? What was that pink light?" asked Ash.

"Ash! Misty! Where are you?" Tenchi/Brock had just fallen out of the tunnel.

"It's Brock!" Misty started running over to the area where the light flashed.

"Ugh... I hate falling out." Tenchi/Brock got up and joined Ash and Misty.

"So how was the match?" he asked. "Did Ash win?"

"No, he lost. Cyndaquil couldn't light its flame fast enough. You should've trained it better Ash!" chided Misty.

"Well, I'd like to see you do better!"

"Ha! If I was Cyndaquil's trainer, I would have licked Lucy!"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"GRR..."

"Ok now, let's not fight." Tenchi/Brock tried to break them up.

"You're nowhere near as good a trainer as I am!" shouted Ash.

"I'd like to see you prove that, Ash Ketchum!"

"Fine! I challenge you to a two-on–two Pokemon battle!"

"I accept!"

Tenchi/Brock was still caught in-between them. "Guys..."

Ash and Misty both glared at him. "THIS IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS BROCK!!!"

'Geez, they're just as bad as Ryoko and Ayeka!' thought Tenchi/Brock. 'This is almost like a repeat of this morning!' "Ok, if you're going to have a battle, at least let's do it somewhere other than here. It's too dark, and the trees are too thick!"

"FINE!!" replied Ash and Misty, still glaring at each other.

'Boy, they're pretty stubborn,' Tenchi/Brock thought.

The three Pokemon trainers (or I should say two, really. ^_^) continued walking along Route 34. Ash and Misty were on either side of Tenchi/Brock, still refusing to speak. Tenchi/Brock tried to stir up some conversation. "Hey, isn't it a great day?"

"What??" Ash and Misty were looking at Tenchi/Brock strangely. "What happened to your voice, Brock?" they asked.

'Uh oh...' Tenchi/Brock gulped. "Oh, my voice?" He tried to make his voice sound like Brock's. "Well, there's nothing wrong with my voice! See?" He coughed, and said, "I just have a frog in my throat. He he." Tenchi/Brock gulped again, and sweatdropped.

"Whatever you say, Brock." Ash and Misty returned to ignoring each other.

After a few minutes, Ash finally spoke up. "That's enough walking. Let's have our match right here!"

Misty agreed. "That's fine with me!"

"So Misty, our 4th battle!"

Misty smiled. "You may have beaten me in past battles, but I'll win for sure this time! Togepi, go!"

"Toge, Toge, priiiii!"

"Togepi again? Ok then, I'll use someone who isn't afraid of attacking it! I choose you, Totodile!" Totodile came out of its Pokeball.

"Totodile!" it said.

Ash and Misty were looking at Tenchi/Brock. 'I guess I better try to referee, since that's what Brock usually does,' he thought. 'But what am I supposed to say?' "Uh... ok... begin the match!"

The match began. Totodile was trying to hit Togepi with its water guns, but Togepi kept dodging happily. (A/N: Togepi always seems to be in a good mood, unless it's crying, doesn't it?) The match didn't seem to be getting anywhere. Suddenly, a net appeared out of nowhere, and fell on top of Ash, Misty, Togepi, and Totodile. Tenchi/Brock got out of the way just in time.

"What going on?" asked Misty.

"AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!" A balloon came into sight overhead.

"Prepare for trouble!"

"Make it double!"

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all peoples within our nation!"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"

"Meowth! That's right!"

Ash groaned. "Not you three again! Aren't you getting a little tired of losing all the time?"

Jessie smirked. "You're right, we are tired of losing to you twerps! But we're going to win this time, aren't we James?"

"That's right. We've come up with a foolproof plan!"

"About as foolproof as all your other plans," Misty muttered.

"I HEARD THAT!" yelled Jessie. Four metal claws shot out of the balloon, and headed straight for the net. One claw grabbed Totodile, one Togepi and Pikachu, and the other two grabbed Ash and Misty's Pokeballs.

"Hey! Give us back our Pokemon!" shouted Ash.

"Sorry, they're The Boss's Pokemon now!" laughed Meowth.

Misty turned to Tenchi/Brock. "Brock! Help us out! You're the only one with Pokemon!"

Tenchi/Brock looked worried. "Uh... Actually, I don't have any Pokemon either."

In the kitchen

"Oh Sasami!" called Ayeka.

"Yes, what is it?"

"You only need to make dinner for 6 tonight. Lord Tenchi is taking me out to dinner!" Ayeka squealed.

"Really? Wow, Ayeka! But you better not tell Ryoko, though. She might just get a little more than angry," whispered Sasami.

"Better not tell me what?" Ryoko had just entered the kitchen.

"Ayeka is having dinner with Tenchi tonight!" interrupted Mihoshi.

"SHE WHAT!!!!!!????????"

"That's right! Lord Tenchi finally realized that you were a barbarian, and chose me!" Ayeka pulled down her eyelid and stuck out her tongue.

"I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!!!! YOU'RE MAKING THIS UP!!!"

"Go ask Tenchi if you don't believe me!"

"FINE!!!! I WILL!!!!" Ryoko stormed off with fire in her eyes, looking for Tenchi. Ayeka, Mihoshi, Sasami, and Kiyone followed close behind.

"TENCHI! WHERE ARE YOU! TENCHI!!" Brock/Tenchi was sitting on the couch, watching TV. "TENCHI!!!" screamed Ryoko.

'Huh? Tenchi? Wait a minute, that's supposed to be me!' Brock/Tenchi turned to face Ryoko. "Uh, yeah. What do you want?" he asked.

"Ayeka says that you asked to have dinner with her tonight. Is that true? IT BETTER NOT BE!!!" Ryoko looked really scary.

"Yeah, that's true," Brock/Tenchi replied. "Do you have a problem with that?"

"A problem??? How could you do this to me?!"

"Well, you did say that I was demented earlier today," Brock/Tenchi pointed out.

"Demented?? I said that that guy Broccoli was demented!!"

Brock/Tenchi automatically corrected her. "It's Brock." 'Uh oh, I hope I didn't give my self away...' he thought.

"Broccoli, Brock, same difference. What does that have to do with you taking Ayeka out to dinner?! I'm better than her any day!"

"YOU ARE NOT!!" shouted Ayeka. "AND THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN, BECAUSE LORD TENCHI IS TAKING ME OUT TO EAT!"

Ryoko was speechless, for the first time today. She just looked at the ground and said, "You know Tenchi, you're not acting at all like yourself today." And with that, she teleported away.

Everyone separated after that. Kiyone went out to the porch to do some thinking, and to get away from Mihoshi for awhile.

'Ryoko's right. Tenchi isn't acting like himself today,' she thought. 'Just this morning, he was saying that he didn't like either Ryoko or Ayeka better than the other! Also, what was up with that "demented" thing? His behavior has definitely been strange since after lunch today. Something fishy is going on... I better go talk to Washu. She know more or less about everything that goes around here.' Kiyone got up, and headed over to Washu's Lab.

A/N: Aww... Poor Ryoko! Personally, I like the Tenchi/Ryoko pairing. I can't stand Ayeka sometimes. BTW, I titled this chapter "In Hot Water" because Tenchi, Misty,and Ash are already in hot water, and Brock will be if Kiyone figures him out. Anyway, the fifth chapter shouldn't take as nearly as long as this one to get out. I already have an idea for what's coming up next. ^_^ One more thing: Please R/R! I love reviews! (Who doesn't? LOL)
