"That was quite an eventful breakfast," Tenchi said to himself as he walked from the kitchen and towards the living room. He sat down upon the couch and sighed, his mind still heavy laden with his own plans and as to what had possessed Washu to act so strangely. But, then again, this WAS a mad scientist he was thinking about. No one ever said that they were ALWAYS logical! He smiled a bit to himself and nodded as Kiyone walked past him and upstairs. He was thoroughly glad that he had been able to tell Kiyone of his intentions. She, above all the other girls, would respect and understand his decision. But that didn't make the words come any easier. He just prayed that they would come when the time came.

"You seem troubled, Lord Tenchi.is something the matter?" came a calm, clear voice; one that was dripping with serene concern. Tenchi blinked for a moment; he knew that demeanor, but it didn't quite seem to fit the voice. He slowly turned his head, and what he saw only confirmed both his fears and his theory about mad scientists and logic. Washu was smiling gently down at him, her long, usually messy hair pulled into two long, smooth tails that led down her back. She wore a kimono of rose, lavender, and ivory, much like that of Ayeka's, and was standing with a quite regal aura about her.

"As if one Ayeka wasn't enough." Tenchi thought, sweatdropping.

Washu smiled a bit and walked around so that she could sit down next to him, and pulled out a pot of green tea from nowhere with a smile. Tenchi blanched as she sat next to him and offered him a cup. "Would you like some tea, Lord Tenchi?"

"Uhh.no, that's okay, I'm fine.really."

"Oh! I'm very glad to hear that, Lord Tenchi!"

"Why.are you dressed like that, Washu? And why do you keep calling me "Lord Tenchi"?"

Washu blinked as she took a drink from her steaming tea. "Dressed like what, Lord Tenchi?"

"I swear, if Ayeka-I mean, Washu, calls me "Lord Tenchi" one more time."

About that time, the one and only Princess Ayeka walked in and stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of Washu sitting in what appeared to be one of her kimonos and drinking tea silently while Tenchi looked at her with confusion.

"What is the meaning of this?" the Princess asked quickly as she quickly made her way over to where the two sat.

"What ever do you mean, Princess Ayeka? I was just having a pleasant conversation with Lord Tenchi over some tea."

"Wait, are you trying to impersonate me?"

"No, I am not, Miss Ayeka. I am just sitting here being myself."

"Now, don't you try to lie to me! You're trying to impersonate me! Admit it!"

Washu stood up at this. "No, I do believe that it is you who is trying to impersonate me."

"No, YOU are impersonating ME, Miss Washu!?"

"I do not think so, my dear princess," Washu said through gritted teeth. "You are impersonating me, therefore, I cannot possibly be impersonating you."

Ayeka growled. "Washu, admit it! You're simply jealous of my."

"'My what?'"

"My beauty and grace."

Washu inadvertently snorted. "HA! How can I be jealous of that when it is you who is impersonating MY beauty and grace?"

"Ayeka, Ayeka!"

Both turned towards him and smiled. "Yeeeeeees, Lord Tenchi?" they responded in unison after shooting a glare towards each other. Tenchi tried to hide his annoyance at "Lord Tenchi" and forced a smile.

"Ayeka?"

"Hmm?" they both said, again in unison.

"Okay.purple-haired Ayeka?"

"Yes, Lord Tenchi?"

"Geh-uhm, could you leave Washu and I alone for a moment, please?"

"Of course, Tenchi." And with that, she glared unobtrusively towards Washu as she walked out of the room.

"Now," Tenchi began again, "Washu?"

The Ayeka -clad Washu just continued to stare boredly at the TV screen.

"Uh.red-haired Ayeka?"

"Yes, Lord Tenchi?"

"Erh-uh.don't you have an experiment to work on in the lab?"

"But.why would I go in there?"

"So you can stop calling me "Lord Tenchi"! Besides, you're really weirding me out."

"Oh...uh...Of course, Lord Tenchi! I shall speak with you later!" And with those last words, Washu made her way smoothly into her lab and closed the door tightly.

"Well.Plan B down the drain. Back to the drawing board! I swear never to say "Lord Tenchi" again as long as I live!"

"Washu, what are you planning to do now?" A cried, waving its little arms around excitedly as it looked at its creator.

"Yes, Washu! What are you going to do now?" B added as is joined its counterpart. Washu looked at the two small androids and smirked reassuringly.

"What any other mad scientist would do in this kind of situation." She accented this with a scheming chuckle and got to work.

"Hmm, maybe I was TOO proper and polite.which leads me to my next plan.hehehe.I'll put it into action tomorrow morning. Maybe this will work.even I run out of ideas sometime."

"You can do it, Washu!"

"Washu, you are the greatest!!"
