Chapter 3- new friends



The next morning was a tough morning. Sasami was up early, anxious to get the day started. Ayeka was also up early, making sure Tenchi had a good breakfast. Mihoshi was even awake at a decent hour, calling the Galaxy Police explaining she was on a special mission and would be gone from Headquarters awhile. (First smart thing Mihoshi's ever done, huh, fans??) Washu, who was up before anyone in the house, had spent the morning planning Ryoko's rescue. Ryo-oki was up and ready for her big day. As Washu called it- " Rescuing her mommy". As the gang was finishing breakfast, since none of them ate at all, Tenchi had his thoughts focused on Ryoko. ' I've never been very nice to her', he thought. ' Poor Ryoko. She must be so scared and lonely all alone by herself. Well, don't worry Ryoko, we're coming.' " Come on Tenchi, we're leaving!!" yelled Washu from downstairs. As Tenchi left the room, the last thing he grabbed was Sword Tenchi.

Ryoko sat in the dark. 'Alone again', she thought. Just then, she heard some voices. A teenage girl stood in front of her. ' Who's this?' Ryoko thought.

" Hi, my name's Yukuno. Why are you here all alone?" asked the girl.

Ryoko caught her breath. Yukuno? Why was that name so familiar? "Come on, or we'll be late for Professor Washu's class". Ryoko froze. Washu? Where was she?? " Hey, you okay? I asked you what your name was." Said Yukuno. " Sorry", said Ryoko. " I'm Ryoko." " Well, come on!! We're going to be late!!" yelled Yukuno. " Late for what???" said a puzzled Ryoko. " Where are we??" " We're at the Science Academy. You new here?" asked Yukuno. " Uh, yeah", said Ryoko. " Do I know you from somewhere?" " Come on!! I want you to meet my friends." Said Yukuno.

Two girls sat at a green table. One was tall, and had a nice smile. The other was short, and had blue eyes. " Hi, Yukuno!!" they both said. " Who's the new girl?"asked the tall one. Yukuno smiled. " This is Ryoko. I just met her. Ryoko, this is Akira and Shiri." Ryoko blinked. " Now wait a minute!" she yelled. " I know all of you!! But, why don't you know me??" she screamed.

" What are you talking about, Ryoko?" asked Shiri. Ryoko sighed.

Little did she know a figure stood in the darkness. He smiled. "Ryoko," he said. " I almost destroyed your mother and failed. I've waited 20,000 years to get revenge. And now, you will feel my pain. The same pain your mother felt. Now you will feel my pain."
