The Next Morning.
"Hrmm." Tenchi mumbled as he made his way downstairs. Why did he have this feeling that something weird was going to happen this morning? He never got that feeling and it was ALWAYS weird at his house! He didn't know what it was, but he decided not to dwell on it until he came across what it was. Little did he know that it was going to hit him like a ton of bricks.
"Good morning, Tenchi!!!" came the voice of Washu. It seemed normal enough to him, even if she did seem a bit too cheerful. He was just relieved that she had come out of her laboratory and was being social again.
"Good morning, Washu-" Tenchi turned to face the red-haired scientist and gaped. He never realized how weird it would be to see Washu in a pink tank top, khakis, and her hair wavy and pulled into a thick ponytail. He stared in shock, just as everyone else seemed to be doing. "Washu?! What in the world did you-"
"You know what, Tenchi? I'm kinda hungry! Let's go get some food!!" she cried as she latched onto his hand and practically dragged him into the kitchen. Kiyone looked very afraid; the last thing she needed.was another Mihoshi. Mihoshi looked thrilled. Washu and her immediately became engrossed in a deep conversation about Pokemon and how Team Rocket seemed to always live through all those explosions. Tenchi looked over to Kiyone nervously, and Kiyone shrugged, but she winked discreetly at Tenchi; which made him feel a bit easier. Washu however, noticed this discreet wink, and immediately decided that perhaps acting like Mihoshi WASN'T the answer.
"Washu.what on Earth are you trying to do? You're even loopier than usual." Ryoko said as she ate, staring at her mother in confusion. Ayeka was silently shocked at the seemingly mindless scientist. It was very odd indeed to see the Greatest Scientific Genius in the Universe acting like the Greatest Ditz in the Universe. It was even weirder than the Mecha Washu incident, and that one ranked high on the list!
"Uhh, Washu.forgive me for asking, but is this all part of some strange experiment of yours?" Ayeka asked, a bit of rice falling from her chopsticks and into her bowl. Washu blinked at her.
"Ex.per...iment? Uhm.what exactly are you talking about, Ayeka?" Washu asked, looking rather confused. Everyone in the room immediately halted what they were doing and stared in fright.
"Washu?! Are you alright!? Speak to me!!!!" Sasami cried, shaking her back and forth. It was indeed very terrifying to hear that Washu knew nothing of what an experiment might be.
"Well.judging by the entire congregation's reaction, this was entirely a bad idea.Back to the ol' drawing board." Washu thought. She quickly shoveled her food into her mouth in an attempt to keep up her charade a bit longer, then stood quickly up.
"Well, I'd better be getting back to my.what is that room called again?"
"Your lab?" Tenchi suggested.
"No no no, that's not it."
"Your.room?" Ryoko inquired.
"No, that's not it either."
Mihoshi beamed. "That big, giant room under the stairs?!"
Washu's eyes widened immensely. "YEAH! That's it!! Bye! Thanks for breakfast, Sasami!" She quickly scampered off, feeling very embarrassed and like her IQ had just dropped 290 points.
"'That big, giant room under the stairs?'," Tenchi asked as he watched her run off. Mihoshi giggled and nodded, when they heard a loud exclamation of surprise from the foyer. "*GASP* It's called a LAB!! Hehehehe!!"
Washu ran into her lab and closed the door quickly. Her mind was whirling. Kiyone had winked at Tenchi in an attempt to be discreet! And she had TRUSTED Kiyone! It was then that Washu decided that she was going to out rule Kiyone's personality as an option. Then she began to think again, as she was so prone to do.
"Hmm.maybe I'm not polite and proper enough.I am kinda rude sometimes.that must be it!"
Washu ran off, her mind set. Nothing could get in her way of regaining Tenchi's love. Not even acting like the very woman she nearly had to duel to keep his love.
"Hrmm." Tenchi mumbled as he made his way downstairs. Why did he have this feeling that something weird was going to happen this morning?
