Carol, and jumping around screaming "I do! I do!" Isn't going to help much.

A/N: You've probably heard this enough so on with it! But to tell the truth this will be the happiest chapter, and please review!
Ryoko woke up on the floor of her room to the sounds of birds chirping outside, she groaned as she straightened her back and looked around. "Why am I on the floor.?" She muttered standing up then remembered, "The goddesses! Kagato! I remember!" She looked around frantically and ran out the door, she flew to the city and realized that it was five in the morning! She grabbed a young boy's collar, whom worked at the bakery. "Tell me! What day is it?!" The boy shivered under the woman's glare but managed to say, "It's Christmas m'am." Ryoko's eyes lit up, "They managed to do it all in one night!" She cried and hugged herself, her let go of the boys collar and told him to run along. Then she remembered all her friends at home and what she did on Christmas Eve, "I'm going to make up for it.."
That morning was full of chaos for Ryoko, she had all her money on her that she wished to spend on herself, there was this sword that she was yearning to buy for years but that would have to wait! She ran to the local decorating shop and saw that it was closed! She looked around to see if anyone was watching then slowly stepped through the wall, Ryoko then calmly began searching for a certain ornament then she found it! Smiling she began stepping out the wall then realized she was stealing, so she slowly put her hands in her pocket and drew out a ten dollar bill, slowly she put it on the cash register and walked away, not looking back. But smiling because for once she did not steal without repayment.
That entire morning she was running around town square buying things left and right, she even bought something, under a lot of thinking, for the Princess. She knew today she was going to make it up to her and be nice for once, only for today. She had finished buying all her presents and she was nearly broke, her pocket felt considerably lighter, but her mind and heart was uplifted from doing something nice. She teleported to her bedroom and slowly sat down, it was six in the morning and she had to get to work! Half- an-hour past but soon everything was wrapped, she carried the bundles and put them under the already packed tree, "A present from Ryoko." She sighed, then ran back to her room and collapsed in her chair, she was still a little antsy because Kagato had sat on her bed.
As the final hour past she heard a knocking on her door, quickly she sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Who's there?!" She asked quickly and heard a quiet voice reply, "Ryoko, it's me!" Ryoko got up and opened the door, Sasami was looking down at the floor, "R-Ryoko, I know you h-hate the holidays, but c-could you please come out just for t-today?" Sasami looked up and her eyes were full of hope, Ryoko couldn't say no, "Sure Sasami, I'll be down in a second." Sasami's eyes lit up and she hugged Ryoko's waist because that was as far as she could reach on the woman, "Thank You! Thank You!" She cried and ran to the kitchen, happily making Christmas Breakfast. Ryoko sighed and got dressed, she combed her hair although it didn't make much of a difference and went downstairs, the whole group was already there, including Ayeka.
Ryoko took a deep breath and slowly walked up to the woman, she couldn't believe she was about to do this! But she was going to, as soon as she was a foot away from the woman she slowly kneeled to the floor and bowed her head, "Miss Ayeka? I am sorry for all I have done to you these past few months, please forgive me." Ayeka nearly fainted, she would have kicked Ryoko then and there and called her a liar but when the tall woman looked up her eyes were so full of honesty that Ayeka didn't have the heart, slowly she bowed. "It is I who should apologize, you are no longer a monster woman." Both women stood to their fullest height, Ryoko towered above Ayeka and in unison the muttered, "But I still don't forgive you for Tenchi!" They looked away once more, "And only for today!"
Tenchi, whom was about to faint at his companions attitude slowly regained his mental footing, "That's good of you two, to be so forgiving." Ayeka and Ryoko shot each other a look then dove at each of Tenchi's shoulders, "I did it for you!" Ryoko cried, while Ayeka said, "A Princess' duty Lord Tenchi!" Tenchi sighed, these were the women he remembered, then he looked up, Washu was smiling at her, she was the only one who fully knew what happened to Ryoko last night, Sasami knew subconsciously, but only her other form Tsunami was sure of the details. Sasami slowly came out of the kitchen with all types of breakfast pastries, she put it on the table and between the family of friends it was consumed in no time at all, then the group gathered around the tree and Ryoko cleared her throat.
"I'd like to give the first present!" Ayeka eyed her suspiciously but Washu smiled, "Do so Ryoko." Ryoko smiled, a genuine happy smile the first she had in years and picked up a large wrapped basket, "Ryo-ohki!" She yelled, and the small happy Cabbit came scrambling over, Ryoko smiled and handed her the package. Ryo-ohki sniffed it uncertainly then her eyes lit up, she tore open the package and saw a treasure load of carrots and carrot cake! She began eating ravenously when she saw a small blue package, opening it she found her favorite ornament! The Cabbit's eyes lit up as she scrambled up to the tree and hung it up, hanging herself up in the process, Ryo-ohki began sniffing as if she was about to cry when Sasami ran out and grabbed her pulling the Cabbit down and scolding her. Ryoko laughed and soon the whole group joined in, Ryoko really was acting differently!
Ryoko smiled and then began opening her presents, along with everyone else. Ryoko cast Ayeka's aside quickly and laughed when they all exploded in Ayeka's face then tore through hers, she had gotten a book from Tenchi, something called "Harry Potter" she looked at it uncertainly but Tenchi put his hands on hers, "You'll enjoy it believe me." Ryoko's eyes lit up and put it to the corner, she already knew this would be her favorite present because it came with Tenchi's touch. She then opened Sasami's, it was chocolate truffles! Her favorite, she ate several then put them with Tenchi's present laughing, "Thank You! Sasami!" She said with a full mouth, Sasami laughed at Ryoko's manners then giggled, "Your Welcome Ryoko!" After opening Ryo-ohki's, which was a carrot none the less, she watched everyone else open her presents and smiled as their eyes lit up, including Ayeka. She spent a lot, and the thoughts came from her heart but the most precious present she had was for Washu. She was going to give it to her later though, she opened Washu's present and found a small box, opening it she found several pictures of her past and childhood along with a video tape, she put it in the corner and smiled. "I was mistaken, Washu's shall be my favorite present." Once all the presents were opened she walked up to Washu, "Now for yours, from me."
Ryoko stood above the small woman and trembled, everyone was watching her and Washu eyed her uncertainly. But Ryoko knew what she had to do, she kneeled down and hugged Washu, whispering, "I Love You. Mom." Washu was shocked at these words, then touched, she slowly changed into her other form and as an adult stood a good deal taller than Ryoko, she hugged her back and whispered, "I Love You Too, my Little Ryoko." Ryoko smiled and turned around, everyone was watching the mother/daughter interaction with happiness, Sasami was the first to come to her wits and she jumped to her feet, with one phrase on her tongue, "God Bless Us! Everyone!"
A/N: It's finished! I'm thinking about doing a fic on Washu's and Ryoko's past thanks to all the good reviews I had gotten on that, well if you liked it please review I need inspiration! Ja!
