The normal disclaimer
I don't own any of the characters in the story.
AIC/Pioneer owns them all..
Changing times chapter two.
By N9WOS
It is based on the OVAs
I have four other chapters planed that follow this one.
I decided to leave the wedding thing out entirely
after cutting it out of the first chapter.
I would just be rewriting what other people have written
a thousand times over.
(Early in the morning the household is waking up
mihoshi is setting on the couch watching intergalactic TV.
Nobi is split between helping sasami in the kitchen and stopping
to look at news stories that flash on the TV once in a while.
Ayeka is setting at the table reading a book.)
(Tenchi comes down the stairs dragging a sleepy ryoko
as nobi look out the kitchen door at them.)
tenchi
You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get her moving in the morning.
ryoko
What do you expect it's five in the morning.
nobi
Well this meal should get you going.
We're going to give your new taste buds a workout.
ryoko
Sasami!!!!!! Do you have to tell everyone?
(Sasami sticks her head around the door frame.)
sasami
YES I do!!!
I've recruited nobuyuki to make some of the dishes he's learnt
as he was raising tenchi.
I'm making some of my favorite dishes for you to try too.
you just drank water last night and that's not much to go on.
tenchi
And nobi's dishes ain't much to go on either.
nobi(from the kitchen)
I heard that.
tenchi
Well I've ate them all my life and I'm pretty sick of em.
nobi(from the kitchen)
You don't now good food when you've got it right infront of you.
tenchi
Well it don't taste like sasami's.
nobi(sticking his head around the door frame)
I'm not sasami so of course it don't taste like her's.
(Sasami and nobi duck back in the kitchen)
(Tenchi and ryoko set on the couch and watched the TV)
ryoko(m)
Is nobi's cooking that bad?
tenchi(m)
Wellll.... no but I can't let him have the upper hand.
ryoko(giggling)(m)
Well I'm surprised you do have spunk in you.
By the way do you think anyone knows about are link?
tenchi(m)
Well not at this point.
I think we should keep it at that.
ryoko(M)
It's kinda fun talking behind peoples backs
without them knowing isn't it?
tenchi (m)
I wonder if washu will continue trying to find out
why she can't talk to you?
ryoko(m)
I have no idea.
mihoshi
Ryoko I watched something last night that said being very close
to another person strengthens one and and helps them
become familiar with the other person.
ryoko(With a stricken look on her face)
Yea that's true all to true......
tenchi(M)
Yea close to someone but there ain't much way to get closer
to some one than what we experienced when we woke up today.
ryoko(m)
Yea tell me about it talk about two minds in one body.
mihoshi
It also said that being familiar with someone made it more likely
for you to fall in love with them.
Having sex with them would just be a result of the love and
not the cause of it.
tenchi(m)(coughing)
Sex would be kind of a let down after this morning.
(out loud)
You know you watch to much TV mihoshi.
mihoshi
Well .... a few people have said that but there is noting else to do.
ryoko
What ever.
(m)
Do you think we should tell anyone about last night either.
tenchi(M)
NO....
You talk about washu running test on us now if she hears she'll
have us strapped to everything in the place
and speaking of that I'm going to talk to her about that.
ryoko(m)
yea yea yea later ....
(out loud)
It looks like their bringing out the food now.
(Everyone gathers around the table. and sasami and nobi set out the food.)
sasami
What about washu?
Nobi will you tell washu to come it's time to eat?
nobi
Alright.
(Nobi walks in to the lab and gets washu.)
(As their walking to the table.)
washu
Well you sure do have a lot of stuff to eat here.
nobi
No one lays a hand on anything till ryoko tries everything.
washu (grumbles)
But I'm hungry.
(As they set down with the others.)
nobi
Then take that as a lesson.
washu
Why do I need lessons from you of all people?
nobi
Well from what sasami told me.
For one you didn't put such basic things as
taste in and generally make complete
someone that you are so quick to call your daughter.
And two ayeka told sasami that you left her
in one of your machines all night which lead to
the whole event of her regaining her taste and other stuff.
ryoko(m)
Like the ability to have kids.
nobi(continuing)
So even though she came out better in the long run the
actions are totally inexcusable.
The whole thing of leaving her there is disheartening.
Anyone that has had a child knows that their welfare
and happiness is always comes before yours.
Anyone that can just leave someone that they call
their child hanging there crying because they forgot about
them is no parent.
washu(Starting to interrupt.)
I didn't forget her I wa....tap......
nobi(Not noticing she was staring to say something..)
Anyone that cares for their child would die at the thought of
their child crying alone and helpless.
I couldn't bear the thought of tenchi being trapped somewhere
and the shear thought of me being responsible for forgetting him
is horrifying to me.
I would go though concrete walls with my bare hands to help
him or I would die trying.
washu(Mentally to herself.)
Maybe I shouldn't mention the tap.
nobi
You don't know how to take care of her at all.
You haven't had a baby
and you don't know what it's like being a parent.
washu(ticked)
I know how to treat my children.
I had a baby.
I cared for a baby MY baby perfectly fine thank you.
I can't help that my child was taken away because of
grown up things like class and lineage.
tenchi(m)
I think dad can handle her.
He's stedfast about being a good father.
nobi(Taking the revelation in but not getting the hole meaning.)
(mumbling)..but she's just a small girl....
(Putting his wits back in place.)
If ryoko was taken away from you then......
washu(screaming)
NO...
I had a little baby boy twenty thousand years ago
I raised him like a mother should.
He was taken away from me because the family couldn't
have it known that I was his mother so his father
took him and left one day and I never seen him again.
ryoko(m)
He's got his hands full.
nobi(After re sizing his appraisal of the situation)
(comely)
I can't help that.
No one around here can help that.
I'm sorry for you but that don't change the situation here.
washu(slowed down but still growling a bit)
I know how to take care of a baby just fine.
I don't need you telling me how to take care of a child.
nobi(noticing her almost constant use of "baby")
Exactly how old was he when he was taken away from you?
washu
About one and a half years old.
nobi
What about ryoko?
How old was she when kagato took her?
Why was she born without her taste and stuff?
washu(comely)
Well she wasn't born she was made full size.
When I made her I left out the non important
stuff till I got her basic system down complete
and it allowed me to utilize her to use the gems.
Kagato took her right after I finished with the gems.
nobi(As things come clear in his mind)
So basically you have no experience with raising a kid
after about two years of age.
washu
Well how hard can it be?
nobi
Well for one ryoko had no childhood you made sure of that.
Two the years under kagato hasn't helped her any.
So she sill had the mental development of child.
Now I can see why tenchi wanted to run things out.
It was giving her time to mature.
ryoko
Hey I'm perfectly matured.
nobi
You may be physically but mentally your not.
ryoko(m)
Tenchi tell him he isn't right.
tenchi(m)
He does have a point.
(ryoko grumbles)
nobi
Washu isn't helping .
From what I hear you still treat ryoko as a lab experiment
ayeka
Doesn't she treat everyone as a lab experiment?
tenchi
Tell me about it.
If you beg for her to let you out she just ignores you.
washu
Well I have to do my work.
nobi
Until it infringes on someone else against their will
and family always comes before work.
You know how to take care of a young child
but you don't know how to raise a child into an adult.
You have to reinforce their feelings and beliefs.
tenchi
How does peeping in the onsen count DAD?
nobi
Well.............. I was trying to make you more sure
of yourself around the lades.....
Back on the point.
You treating ryoko as a lab experiment don't help her any.
You can't just leave her setting around when you want to
do something else.
Even if you made her she is still made from your egg cells
so she is still your child.
You have one boy but you also have a young girl that needs a mother.
You may think of her as an experiment but she's also your child.
Just because you were hurt by loosing him don't mean that you
should stay detached from her to protect yourself from pain.
sasami
Will you leave this conversation till later the food's getting cold.
ryoko
Yea you want the first thing for me tasting to be cold food.
nobi
Sorry.
washu
Sorry but I still know how to treat ryoko.
ryoko
Ya right
sasami
Ryoko try something.
ryoko
Alright lets see here everyone likes crackers so much lets try one.
(She takes a bite out of one.)
MMMmmmmm gooooooood.
Whereas lest try some sack to wash that down with.
nobi
I wouldn't if I was you.
ryoko
What ever
(Takes a slug of saki and spits it out.)
(Tenchi turns a bit green but keeps quiet.)
Dam that's horrible!!!!!!!!
That can't be saki.
nobi
Well it's an acquired taste.
ryoko
Well I don't plan on acquiring it.
Have ya got anything else?
sasami
Yap
We have grape fruit juice orange juice milk wine lemonade and soda.
Nobi can even make you some coffee.
nobi
I don't think she would like that either.
ryoko
I'll take anything just get this disgusting taste out of my mouth.
tenchi(fills ryokos glass with some milk)
Try this.
ayeka(giggling)
I don't believe it ryoko don't like saki
ryoko(after drinking the whole glass)
That's good I want to try something else.
sasami
Anything you want go ahead and eat.
(A few hours later.)
(Washu is heading to the couch and tenchi sees her.)
tenchi
Washu I want to talk to you.
washu
What do you need my little guinipig?
tenchi
That's the exact subject I am interested in.
I'm going to lay down a few rules they are.
One don't string anyone up without their permission
And two put a voice activated device on your equipment
so if anyone says they want out the restraints will release.
Washu(grumbles)
Alright......
(mumbling to herself)
You take all the fun out of it.
tenchi
What was that?
washu
Awww nothing see ya later.
tenchi
See ya..
washu(to her self)
At least I have the tape.
(After she thinks everyone has left the house she
plops the tape in the player and sets down to watch.)
Ow this is good ......
(As the tape is playing nobi walks in from a back room
and sees what is playing on the screen
and just sets there in shock as he realizes what she done two nights ago.)
(He comely walks up to the tap player and pulls out the tap and
brakes it over his knee.)
washu
This don't look good.
(She gets off the couch and starts heading for the lab door.)
(As nobi grabs her shirt collar.)
Eppp ....... What seams to be the problem mister misaki?????
nobi
Even though I seen it I can't believe it.
You sat there and watched her cry her eyes out
and you want her to call you MOM.......
You also say that you like tenchi but do you have any idea what
he would think of you if he had saw that tape?
washu
Well no but I don't think he would mind to much.
He don't complain much when I leave him hanging around.
nobi
That's where your wrong.
He has learnt to be tolerant of people being mean to him
but he can't stand people being mean to his friends and family.
I certainly can't tolerate it and ryoko is now
(puts his mouth by her ear)
MY FAMILY AND I TAKE IT PERSONALLY!!!!!!
washu(Regaining some of her spunk.)
Well what ya going to do? Is the big man going to beat up a little child?
nobi(Gets a sadistic grin on his face.)
NOPE....
If you insist on acting like a spoiled little child with no manners or cares about anyone
else besides your experiments and generally being mean to everyone if it suites you.
I am left with one choice.
washu(starting to worry)
Wa..waaa. what's that?
nobi(with a slight chuckle)
I will be forced to punish you like the spoiled child you are.
washu(as nobi is dragging her to the couch)
What are you planing on doing?
nobi(as he sets down and lays washu across his lap.)You will be spanked.
washu
WHAT ??? are you kidding pleas don't this is embarrassing!!!!
nobi(grumbling to himself)
I've never had to do this to tenchi and I'm against the idea but
there's a first time for everything.
(whap whap whap)
washu
Will you stop what if someone comes in?
(whap whap whap whap)Quit pleas your embarrassing me!!!!!
(whap whap whap)
nobi
Ryoko begged to and you never listened to her.
(whap whap whap whap)
(Out side tenchi ryoko and mihoshi hear the commotion from the house.)
tench
It sounds like their fighting again.
mihoshi
Ow my it don't sound good.
ryoko
I'll go in and check it out.
tenchi
Wait lets take it slow and walk in you don't want to drop
right in the middle of the fight.
ryoko
Alright.
(They quickly run to the house.)
(Back in the house.)
washu
Well you taped tenchi all the time can't I tape ryoko?
(whap whap whap)
nobi
Did I ever tape him when he was crying his eyes out?
(whap whap)
washu
Nope.....
But what am I suppose to do?
(whap whap)
nobi
Grow up and quit acting like a child.
(whap whap whap)
washu
Alright you ask for it.
(Right as a hit lands she enlarged)
nobi
W...T....F.....
(The trio arrives about that time.)
tenchi
DAD what in the heck is going on?
nobi
uuu....uuu.....I...I....
ryoko
I thought you hated washu now your doing
kinky stuff with her.
nobi
but I ....but I....
mihoshi
There is other ways to progress the relationship besides going to S and M.
(Nobi turns white.)
washu
Ya but he likes that sort of thing.
tenchi
Owwwww man I knew it he finely decided to round a girl up for himself.
He's decided to take a hard case that he'll have to straiten out
on his own to make a good wife.
nobi(as washu growls)
I....I....I....
(nobi passes out)
ryoko(Looks over at tenchi.)
So that's where you get your fainting habit.
tenchi(grumbles)
And that's where you get your personality from.
ryoko (grumbles)
What ever.
mihoshi
Just try to keep the blankets clean it's my turn to do the laundry.
ryoko and tenchi(turn green)
Were outa here.
(As they leave ryoko grabs mihoshi by the arm.)
ryoko
They don't need any more encouragement.
(The trio leave.)
washu(Thinking to herself.)
Hmmm that maybe a good idea.
There is no way tenchi could kick me out.
Nobi does have half the genetic code for the LHW's.
He did raise tenchi good.
He has a good sense of hummer till it comes to the safety of his family.
Family is more important to him than everything even social status.
He is relatively smart.
He don't look half bad.
He was loyal to his wife and still is loyal to her memory.
He is about 40 not much older than my true form.
With a little gene therapy ill have him looking a good 30 in no time.
I've been thinking there is no grownups that care about anything
besides status and money but there is one right under my nose.
I'll have to spend some more time with him.
This may be fun.
(out loud)
What do you say nobi?
If your going to be my husband you better have a good heart.
MMuuuhaahah he hehhe
Maybe we can go into the lab and try it right now.....hmmm ..na..
I'm already in enough trouble with that already.
Maybe I should take the long path ......yap the long path....
(A few hours later.)
(Mihoshi has told ayeka about washu and nobi.)
(Ayeka is sweeping the steps outside tenchi is cleaning the floor
Mihoshi is doing the laundry and ryoko and sasami are in the kitchen.
Nobi is setting on the couch still passed out and washu in adult form
is snuggled up beside him with her head laying on his chest watching TV.
Her arms are wrapped around him with the blankets puled over them.)
nobi(waking up)
What the ......I had a strange dream....(looks down)
Owww Myyyyyy Goddddddddddddddd washu get off me now!!!!!!!!!
washu
Ow what's a mater my little nobi did you have a bad dream?
I can make it all better for you if you want.
nobi
Your nobi .what ...the.....
(Nobi throws off the blankets and struggles to get up with no success.)
washu
What you doing nobi its cold in here aren't you going to keep me warm?
nobi
TENCHI RYOKO MIHOSHI SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Everyone hears and comes to the couch to see what's going on.)
nobi
Ryoko will you get your mom off me she's gone insane.
ayeka
But I thought you two where.????
nobi
Well you thought wrong she won't let go and she keeps babbling about
me being "her nobi".....
ryoko
But what about this evening?
nobi
She was insisting on acting like a child so I decided to punish her like one
so I decided to spank her.
ryoko(On the verge of cracking up.)
That would have been a sight.
mihoshi
But why would you spank an adult?
nobi
She was little when I was spanking her.
Well until I said that she needed to grow up and quit acting like a child.
tenchi
Owww that's right you didn't know that she is actually an adult and
just pretending to be a child.
nobi
Now you tell me.
Will you get her off me???
ayeka
Why you two look like a good couple and you could teach her a few
things about being responsible.
nobi
But my wife in heaven is the only I love.
I would be going back on my promise if I married another women.
tench(m)
What do you think ryoko?
I think turnabout is fair play.
He thinks I need a wife so he
should benefit from it too.
ryoko(m)
You do have a point
and he could straighten her out a bit.
(out loud)
Not exactly.
If tenchi told me right she told you to not hesitant about
finding another wife after she died.
nobi(teary eyed)
Yes my beautiful wife.
Even on her death bed she was only worried about my happiness.
tenchi
So you are actually going against her wishes by trying to run
everything and keep the family intact by yourself.
nobi
No I'm not!!!!!!!.
She said if I fall in love with someone to not hesitate to marry them.
washu
We can work on that can't we nobi?
nobi
Be quiet.
tenchi
Don't be to hard on him washu.
ryoko
Ya don't give dad a heart attack.
mihoshi
wha.........
ayeka(as she pulls mihoshi by the arm)
lets go mihoshi
(snickers)
It looks like we have a new addition to the royal family
sasami
What do you mean?
ayeka
Well nobi is part of the royal family by marriage to kione
so washu will now be part of the royal family by marriage
to nobi instead of just being the parent of one.
(Everyone is giggling as they leave the room.)
nobi
Don't leave me here and I am not marring her.
washu
Just give me time my little nobi.
nobi
I'm not your little nobi!!!!!!!!
washu
Quit flailing your arms it makes it hard to pull the covers over us.
nobi
That's my intention...
(A few days after ryoko and tenchi's wedding.)
(Nobi and washu are outside talking to sasami
and washu has her arms wrapped around him from behind.)
sasami
Washu you haven't been in your lab in days.
Don't you have stuff to do in there?
Don't you have to go back to your projects?
nobi
If I was only so lucky.
washu
Ow that's no problem it'll take care of it's self
and by the way family is always more important than work.
Ain't it nobi?
nobi
I don't see how family has any thing to do with this.
washu
If you give me a bit of your time we can make are own family
and you can show me all about raising a kid.
So if you'll just come with me we can get thing's started.
nobi(red as a beat)
I don't think so.
Why are you acting like this anyway?
washu
Well it worked for my daughter so it should work for me.
nobi(sarcastically)
Ow the logic astounds me.
(The phone rings in the house.)
(Ryoko answers the phone.)
ryoko(Yelling out the window.)
Dad it's for you!!!!!!
It's amigaski.
nobi(Walking in the house with washu trailing along)
I wonder what he needs.
What can possibly be going wrong now?
(Picks up the phone.)
Hello what's the problem?
amigaski
Well I'm at the meeting and their being a pain.
The contract said that the plans have to be ready by
the fifteenth of April which is two weeks away.
The problem is one of the four design firms has dropped
out and they want the other three to finish up the
support structure drawings that the vacated firm was slated to do.
nobi
That would be impossible.
amigaski
Well they have the go ahead from the financier
so they want the plans so they can get started.
nobi
It would be impossible for the three remaining firms to design
a quarter of the building in two weeks and do a decent job at it.
And I don't plan on having my firms name tied to a building
that's going to fall down.
amigaski
Tell me about it.
nobi
Ow well I'll be down there in a few hours.
amigaski
Well hurry up you might be able to join the rest of the
design firm owners in a collective bashing of the
construction company representatives.
nobi
yea yea yea I'll be right there.
(Hangs up the phone.)
Well I guess I'll have to get dressed and leave.
He's having some problems at the meeting so I'll be heading out.
washu
Ow goody I always wanted to see what you do during work
I might be able to help you here and there if you need any.
I have lots of expectance with meetings and negotiations.
nobi(Hangs his head.)
Ow no I forgot about her.
(He remembers what amigaski said a few days ago abut
finding a lady for himself and begins to cry.)
(At the meeting nobi walks in fallowed by washu.
he's dressed in a black suit she's in a red suit.)
amigaski
Hey how are you doing yushi should be here in a bit
Everyone has demanded to talk to the construction company owner.
nobi
finally
If we all have to be here he should to.
amigaski(Noticing washu holding nobi's arm.)(eyes bulging out)
I KNEW IT YOU'VE FO.............(as nobi covers amigaskis mouth.)
nobi
lets go in the back room I need to tell you a few things.
(Amigaski and nobouki head into a adjoining room to talk
washu went to mingle with the crowd.)
amigaski
I knew it you've found you a lady.
nobi
NO I have NOT!!!!!!
amigaski
Well it looks that way to me.
nobi
No she's the mother of tenchis wife.
amigaski
WHAT IN THE HELL
TENCHI HAS A WIFE!!!!!!!
nobi
quiet......
(proudly)
Yes he married ryoko he's known her for a long time
but he finally got the courage to ask her for her hand in marriage.
Owww I'm so happy!!!!
amigaski
ow her I've herd about her from tenchi.
According to him she wasn't raised well and has a short temper
but she's doing better.
nobi
Well he also loved her but never had the courage to tell her so.
amigaski
Sounds about right.
When ever tenchi got in a situation he was unfamiliar with
he gets defensive and isolates himself.
nobi
Yea she needed someplace to stay so she moved in
a little over a year ago.
nobi (thinking)
Ow I get it now he was thinking about her at school and
I sad he was.....s....with........mum.......
That's why he hit me.
What about your lady out there.
nobi
She is NOT my lady.
As I said she's ryokos mother.
She has been divorced a long time ago.
Ryoko was her last child and when
ryoko moved in with tenchi she started hanging around the house.
amigaski
Ow that's right that must of been when you literally had your
house moved to your father inlaws property to get your family
away from the city after someone blew up the school.
It scared a lot of people and you with it.
I can see why you didn't want tenchi around the city after that.
nobi
Yea yea yea but after she started hanging around she got the idea
in her head that I would be a perfect husband.
I guess after her first husband she thinks I'm a saint.
amigaski
Well how do you feel about her.
nobi
Wellll......she looks nice and she knows a lot welll.......
actually her IQ is though the roof.
She even after having two children don't really know
how to raise one and she is starting to be annoying.
She also thinks I would be a perfect father so she
wants to start turning out kids for crying out loud!
She keeps prepositioning me to start a family and
we aren't married yet.
I do care for her but NOT LIKE THAT!!!!!!!
amigaski
calm...calm....
I get the point that you are not the one instigating the relationship.
nobi
It's not a relationship!!!!
amigaski
Well she thinks it is and she was starting to talk with
the other people in the room when we headed out.
nobi
DAM lets see what she's doing now.
(Nobi enter the main room and join the group around washu.)
namgi(Another design firm owner.)
Well nobi it looks like you got a fine lady here she thinks
a lot of you.
(Nobi growls under his breath.)
nobi(nervous)
Well .. it isn't really what you think.
namgi
Ow don't be shy I knew someone like
you would find a good lady sooner or later.
(Namgi continues talking.)
(Nobi is about to say something but hears someone
in the corner of the room talking.)
(Amigaski also hears them and listens.)
hitoro(Construction company rep.)
Yea she looks like someone that would do that.
comtori(Construction company rep.)
Yea she spreads her legs for him and nobiuki will
pour the money to her.
nobi(In a stunned state.)
wa... the......
amigaski(mentally)
OW no not this.
Those two have chopped up half the people in the room already.
hitoro
Yea she looks hot and he has money.
She wants the money so if she lets him
bang her you can live the good life.
nobi(blood starting to broil)(under his breath)
I ....don't ..... believe .....I ....did... nothing of the such....
comtori
She looks like she probably went though a few other
rich people already so she going after the small fish now.
amigaski(mentally)(Seeing nobi's face twisting in anger.)
This ain't going to be good.
(Youshi walks in the door about that time.)
hitoro
Yea she talks like she knows a lot but the way shes
acting she's probably dumb as a brick.
I wonder if he's used all her holes yet....epp....misaki
(Nobi walks infront of the two people
with his face twisted in furry.)
nobi(Yells distracting everyone in the room.)
WILL YOU MIND TELLING EVERYONE IN HERE
WHAT YOU JUST SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hitoro(in a light voice)
No it's a privet conversation.
nobi
WELL I COULD CERTAINLY HEAR IT!!!!!!!!
(A few of the people in the room.)
Well what was they saying?
nobi(Still in a loud voice that every one can hear.)
I won't say what they said because it is beyond degrading.
But to answer your accusations.
She isn't dumb as a brick.
She don't put out for money.
And she hasn't spread her legs for me.
(regains his breath and continues)
What she is the mother of my sons wife.
(a few gasp can be heard)
Tenchi wife is her daughter so that makes her family
so(screaming)YOU ARE INSULTING MY FAMILY
AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO INSULT MY FAMILY
SAY IT TO MY FACE YOU HEAR.
(Regaining his breath again.)
She has had a hard life and her daughter has had a hard life.
She was divorced and had her first child taken away from her.
She thinks I have been a good father to tenchi and
she has a crush on me because she thinks that I might be a
good husband to her and not skip out on her so she has
been hanging around me since tenchi married ryoko
and has been trying to get on my good side.
That is as far as things has went GOT IT!!!!
(Yushi walks up to the three)
yushi
Hitoro comitori have you been insulting him behind his back
It seams like I'm getting a lot of complaints from people about that.
comitori
Well no sure we was just having a privet conversation about nothing.
youshi
If it was about nothing lets hear it.
hitoro
Well I don't think it's relevant to what misaki is complaining about..
youshi
Now I've known misaki since I started this company and he has worked
with me on projects from then on.
So do you think that I will believe you over him.
Add that to the fact that it was so bad that it got mister misaki the maddest
I have ever seen him in my life.
So you have two options.
One tell us what you said and most likely get fired and nothing else will be
said of it outside this room or.
Two not tell us which you will get fired
and I will make sure you never get hired by anyone again.
and misaki better agree with what you admit or option two will be implemented.
hitoro
Comitori how much do we have to say?
comitori
Well anything after he entered the room.
hitoro
WHoooo well alrighty...lets spill the beans.
comitori
Welll I said that she was just going after him for his money.
hitoro
Then I said that sounds about right.
comitori
Then I said yea she (gulps)spreads her legs for him and nobiuki will
poor out the money.
(washu just stands there stunned)
hitoro
I then said she looks hot and he has money
and she wants the money so if she lets him
(gulps)bang her she can live the good life.
comtori
I then said she probably went though a few other
rich people already so she's going after the small fish now.
hitoro
And the last thing I said is
She talks like she knows a lot but the way shes
acting she's probably dumb as a brick.
(washu turns red in fury)
And I wonder if............
youshi
Continue hitoro we are waiting.
hitoro
I wonder if he's used all her holes yet.
(washu just shakes her head in disbelief.)
youshi
Misaki is that adequate.
(nobi nods)
(Youshi has a blank look on his face for a bit then finally speaks.)
youshi
You two may leave now you will get your pink slips in the mail.
(Hitoro and comitori leave the room bowing as they leave.)
(He turns to face the rest of the people.)
So what is the problem I came here for?
(After youshi discuses the primary problem
with the designers they are all looking at
plans setting on the tables and pined to the walls.)
namgi
See youshi after compten design firm dropped out
all we have is a building with no support structure.
We have the basic frame work that the building
will be designed around but the actual design of
the framing members and support columns is possessed by compten.
youshi
And with them dropping out that means that the
structural steal suppler is gone to because they
only work with the compten design firm.
nobi
Ya we know what points the flooring and walls attache
to the support structure but no one has the designs to the
support structure and the only designs are property of compten's
(Washu was looking over the plans and calming herself
from the earlier incident.)
(She started getting a broad smile across her face
and she went over to nobi.)
washu
Hey nobi can I talk with you alone for a second?
nobi
Sure I will be right with you.
(Turns to youshi and namgi.)
I will be right back.
(Wahsu and nobi enter another side room and began talking.)
nobi
What do you want.
washu
Well I'm sorry for getting you in that situation earlier but
I see you people are in a jam and I think I can help you out.
nobi
aww.no don't worry about that incident but
I don't think they could handle a building appearing out of no where.
washu
no no
I was thinking that I could design the support structure and
supply the steel for the job.
nobi
Theres the stuff appearing out of no where problem again.
washu
Not really.
Remember the old steel mill you gave me the earth money to get.
nobi
Ow ya
I almost forgot you got that for a steal.
It was almost a two hundred acres with the
complete steel mill for a little more than the price of a mid size car.
washu
Yeap nobody wanted it because they had to clean up the mess the
previous owners had left for them.
nobi
I couldn't resist that little smile of yours when
you ask for the money to get it.
washu
Ow your thaaaat type huu
If you like that size so much I guess
I could go back to my previous form if it's so irresistible.
(The image of a twelve year old washu hanging around his
neck preposition unspeakable in his ear goes though
his mind and he turns a slight shade of green.)
nobi
NO...NO NO NO..... tha.....I.......wh.....
I think your actual form is much better looking.
washu
Well I didn't know I was making so much progress.(giggles)
I guess I could stop at the lingerie store and pick up
something to accent my curves better...
nobi(shaking his head)
Not if I can help it.
Back to the steel mill.
I had no idea why you wanted it.
The only thing I know is after you got it
the place turned from an old dump to crystal clean in a few weeks.
The old rusty buildings are nice shiny stainless steel and
The rail road tracks are stainless steel embedded in concrete instead of setting
on wooden ties.
The other thing I know it that people think there is a secret government
research project in there or something with all the strange stuff that's
going on.
washu
What I wanted it for is someplace to have access to earth besides
the house and as someplace I could interact with the outside world more.
nobi...(thinks)
AAAAhhhh I get it .......steel mill.....
It would be the perfect place to send stuff out from and it would fit
perfectly with what you are producing.
But won't they notice that it would be impossible to produce the
materials that you would most likely turn out?
washu
Aww that's no problem the stuff will look hand welded all the way.
nobi
Another thing is why would you do all this?
washu
Well to help you out and to prove to the other people that
I'm not DUMB AS A BRICK.
nobi(chucking)
Aww I get it.
It's a hundred story building.
So you will say you will have your team make up the
designs and produce the first of the steel work in .....lets say four weeks.
washu
Who do you think your talking to?
I have four planets at my disposal.
I will say give me copies of all the existing plans
and I will have all the steel work
setting out for you to haul away in two days..
nobi
WHAT.......
That'll go over like a lead balloon.
What about 10 days they could believe that
if you had a state of the art automated production faculty.
People would believe that because of all the stuff going
on out at the old steel mill.
washu
How about this
One tenth of the money up front and I have the first of the steel
ready in two weeks.
I can just let it set around till they get it.
nobi
What's the ten percent up front for?
washu
Well I need earth money to by flat bed trailers and a semi tractor
or two to move them around with.
I already have a bunch of rail cars that came with the place
but I need to actually buy the flat beds because it'll
be hard explaining how thirty flat bead semi trailers popped
out of thin air and a few semi tractors to boot
when I put license plates on them.
nobi
Good point.
The only other question I have is
do you have any idea how much money your dealing with?
It will be at least more than my firm has made in two to three years.
washu
Ya I won't need to bum any more earth money off you.
(chuckling)If your lucky you can be a partner.
nobi
what?
You mean you going to start a regular business?
washu
Yes that way I can have something to cover the activity
I'm planing on having with the GP and Juri.
nobi(shaking his head)
What am I getting myself into???????????
washu
Shall we go in there and give them a heart atack?
nobi
I guess.
(Nobi and washu enter the main room.)
youshi
What have you two been doing?
nobi
Well we've been discussing the situation and
washu though that she might be able to help.
namgi
You mean you know a bit about building sky scrapers.
washu
Of course.
The reason I think I can help is you need a design
firm to make the plans for the structural steel and
you need a company to make the actual steel structure
after it's designed.
I think I can help you with both.
youshi(puzzled)
Howwww????
washu
You know the old steel mill that's been rebuilt.
Who do you think owns it?
(Every one in the room stopped talking and looked at her.)
namgi(turning slightly pail)
let me guess you do.
washu
Yes
I've outfitted it with the top of the line automated fabrication equipment
and computer design equipment.
I can't tell you what it's capability are because I have a lot
of time in it and it's a company secret.
One thing I can tell you is I want to try it out and you need
help right now so I can't think of a better opportunity.
youshi
Misaki is she telling the truth?
nobi
Yes she is.
youshi
What type of arrangement are you thinking of?
washu
Well I will need copies of all your plans to work from and
I should have all the plans done in a week.
(Mummers of "that's impossible" speed across the room.)
No it isn't.
I have a top of the line super computer and I will
have the first shipments of steel out the door to you
one week after that.
The only thing I need is ten percent up front.
I will have everything made before the schedule you have planed.
youshi
Now misaki is she capable of this?
nobi
I'm pretty sure she can do what she said.
youshi
Do you even know what the other company was wanting for the job?
washu
No but I'm pretty sure I can match it without problems.
(Youshi pulls out a paper from under a stack and looks over it.)
youshi
Heres what the other companies quote was.
(shows it to washu)
Is this sufficient?
(Washu grins broadly and nods her head.)
If you get anything turned out in two months and keep it to sects
I will be delighted.
If you actually meet the schedule you just stated and produce a quality product
I will double it.
(Washu grins even more.)
(Nobi walks over to washu and looks at the price figure.)
(His eyes pop out of his scull.)
nobi
What the fudge!!!!!!!!
You don't mess around with small fry do you?
washu
Nope.
nobi
Amigaski I think we will need to discuss a few things with you.
amigaski
How come I'm not surprised.
(After a blizzard of papers people coping floppies and copiers being pummeled
they leave the building with a van full of boxes and amigaski in the seat behind them.)
nobi
Alright now amigaski there is a few things your going to need to know so we'll just
tell you everything and be done with it.
That's why we left your car at the office till we get back.
You know the girls the tenchi has fallowing him around.
amigaski
Yap
(The drive on down the road telling him all the details of the last few years.
with him not believing a word as they head to the old steel mill.)
(They pull up beside the main building and get out with amigaski mumbling
about never seeing stainless steel rail road tracks on concrete before.)
(As they enter the building.)
amigaski(sarcastically)
So this I the place where the big magical inter dimensional portal is.
I've taken drafting physics calculus and even quantum mechanics but
I've never heard of this stuff.
washu
(Walking up to a big steel plate(8 stories tall 100 feet wide) that covered an entire wall.)
Her it is.
nobi
So that's why you needed this place.
You can have a lot larger permanent portal
than you could ever have around home.
washu
Yes ser re
I can bring stuff like entire space ships though without using a warp hole.
amigaski
All I see is a steel plate.
washu
Just wait.
(She forms a computer which freaks out amigaski and types a few things.
The wall shimmers and is replaced by a view of a large cavernous building
machines all along the walls and stuff suspended over head.)
Just walk though and your on lab planet three.
Amigaski(As he sticks his hand though the portal.)
It's true
but why tell me?
nobi
Well we will need a few in the family to help but we need
to tell you because you usually run firm when I'm gone so it's kinda
hard to keep you in the dark about what we're doing.
Everyone else in the firm is just doing what me or you say to
so they have no reason to know do they?
amigaski
Nope not really.
What about torsk?
nobi
Well he just works with the clients so he has no dealings
with this stuff.
amigaski
That's a relief he's the freaky kind
he'd probably put it on front page news.
washu
Well I think we should tell tenchi ryoko and who ever else wants in on it.
nobi
This is good.
I was worried about finding them something to support themselves with.
I guess their job can be working here.
washu
Well mostly on lab planet three they will just be loading it on flat bed
trailers and setting it outside for the semi tractors to hitch to and leave with.
nobi
What about the rail cars?
washu
Ow I have another portal over there where the track enters the building.
You can bring the cars right in and load them up and run them back out.
nobi
Where did ami go?
washu
Ow he's looking around the lab.
nobi
Alone?
washu
What could he possibly get into?
(She think a bit and turns pail.)
(Both nobi and washu run though the portal into the lab looking for amigaski.)
(That night washu and nobi are interesting the house.)
(Ryoko is watching TV and tenchi is in the kitchen snacking on leftovers.)
nobi
Hey kids I've got good news.
tenchi(As nobi's entering the living room.)
What junk have you been getting into now?
nobi
It's not junk me and washu have been planing something.
ryoko
Ow no this'll be good.
nobi
You got that right.
We've got you someplace to work..
(Tenchi comes in and sets down by ryoko.)
tenchi(groans)
Who are we working for?
washu
Me
tenchi
I fail to see how that will support us financially here.
You haven't got any earth money to pay us with.
Heck you keep bumming of dad for stuff.
washu
Not any more I've started my own steel company so I can
make money the old fashioned way earn it.
ryoko
Some how I think this is going to be a long story.
tenchi
Tell me about it.
washu
Not really all I need is someone to keep everything in order and to load
the trucks and prepare the stuff for shipment.
If you want to you can even oversee the design and production of the stuff.
tenchi
What is the said steel going for.
washu
The hundred story building nobi is working on.
tenchi
Then it would be a good idea for me to oversee the production of the stuff to.
You'd probably try and make it out of titanium or something.
washu
Don't you have any faith in me?
ryoko
Nope.
tenchi
Dad I think we're going to need your help.
You've gave me a few personal courses on architecture
and I've taken a few courses in drafting but I'm going to
need all the help I can get.
washu
It won't be that hard the computers will take care of all
the designing and all the production you just have to load the stuff.
tenchi
Ya but I have to make sure it looks like someone on earth built it.
Dad if you've got any books on structural design I would love
to see them.
nobi(proudly)
Sure anything you need I'll be here to help.
tenchi
Another small problem.
Won't it be suspicious to have truck loads of stuff appearing out
of thin air.?
washu
We have already discussed that.
You know the old steel mill by the hills.
I had purchased the thing a while back.
That's the location im going to be shipping from.
tenchi
Ow that's right you did get a good sum of doe a while back.
ryoko
I think I remember getting re directed to that once by the transporter unit in the lab.
That's a big place with a large open mine stretching out though the hills.
washu
I have the steel mill it's self.
I don't know about the mine.
tenchi
I think they are still wanting to sell it but they can't find any
buyers for it yet.
washu
Humm that's an idea.
I could spend some of the final payment on that
It would also make sure nobody can build anything close by.
tenchi
Somehow I think we're going to have a long day tomorrow so
we should really get to sleep.
(Everyone mumbles lines of agreement grabs
something to eat and heeds off to bed.)
(next day)
(Everyone assembled at the old steal mill.)
tenchi
Man washu you've got this placed fixed up.
sasami
WOW look at those huge vehicles can I drive one PLEASE????
ayeka
No you can't you might run over someone or a something like a
care or van.. .... or something....
washu
Well wait till I buy the old mine around us.
There is a decent amount of equipment included.
It seams like the stuff is so big it's not economical to move.
So... it stays with the mine and I've just made an agreement with
the owner to buy the mine when I get my final payment.
Believe me the dump trucks are a lot bigger than that
about seven stores tall to be exact.
sasami
WOW I can't wait.
washu
Well as soon as I get the mine I will have my equipment fix em up
so you can play with them.
ryoko
And if you need any help learning how to drive one just ask me. he he
ayeka
I swear your a bad influence on her.
By the way I think it's a good thing your doing washu.
Ryoko might learn some manners and useful skills for once.
(Ryoko glares at ayeka.)
mihoshi
Yea after all that destroying stuff it's neat shes actually helping build something.
Yukinojo had a hard time believing it but I finally convinced him.....
(Ryoko turns her glare to mihoshi.)
sasami
That's neat.
Ryoko are you going to fix the bridge to?
(Ryoko gets a glum look on her face and looks down in defeat.)
tenchi
One problem when are we actually making this stuff?
washu
Don't worry my equipment has already made the first shipment's of
material.
All you need to do is load the stuff and make sure it's sent on it's way.
tenchi
problem two
What's the companies name?
washu(Gets a stricken look across her face.)
Welllllll......... I haven't thought about that yet.....
tenchi
You mean they don't even know the company their buying off of
and they give you a wad of money to buy a couple sparkling new trucks and
a field of trailers that's setting around us??????
nobi
Well they were so happy to have someone to provide the needed materials
they didn't really care who made it..
And they took my word as a guarantee that she was telling the truth.
ayeka
So basically your stuck.
You have to come up with the stuff or else.
nobi
Yap
tenchi
Well what about the name?
All I see is that you've got all the equipment labeled with your little crab
and I have a nagging feeling that there's only one or two names you would be
happy with.
mihoshi
Well sense washu loves crabs it would be something with the word
crab in it somewhere ........hmmmmmm let me think what could it be????
ryoko
I might as well say it.
We're employed at ....ta da da da da....... crab steal.
washu
I like the ring of that.
(Everyone else mumbles curses under their breath.)
washu
Enough talking you have work to do.
(Hands ryoko and tenchi a ring to go on their finger.)
Just pinch the bottom of the ring in a quick motion and
a hollow computer will appear I have all the instructions on how to operate
the archaic equipment and the list of stuff that needs loaded.
It also includes instructions on how to properly fasten everything down.
nobi
Amigaski should be here in a bit he has the list of what needs
loaded on what trailers for shipments at what times according to what
the construction companies needs.
washu
All you will do is load up the stuff and line up the full trailers for
the construction company semis to hitch on and leave with.
After you get the stuff that's made up loaded and ready you won't need
to worry about anything for two months or so.
tenchi
Talk about a part time job.
nobi
Amigaski can handle the over looking of the company pick up's.
(The group can see a compact care puling up to them.)
nobi
That's amigaski now.
ayeka
If he's tenchis friend he must be a nice person isn't he tenchi.
tenchi
Yes but he has a habit of getting on your nerves once in a while.
(As amigaski gets out of the car ayeka gets a look of disgusted across her face.)
ayeka
It looks like he needs a diet.
tenchi(Getting a look of confusion.)
If he was skinny he wouldn't be amigaski,
nobi
Good point.
(Amigaski walks up to the group.)
amigaski
Well let me guess (points to ryoko) your tenchis wife.
ryoko(gets all starry eyed)
You mean it's that evident that we are meant to be together
that at first sight you can tell...
(Ryoko grabs tenchis arm.)
I new it was destiny.....
tenchi(As ryoko is adlibing tenchi leans over to amigaski and whispers)
Exactly how did you know?
Did dad show you a picture of something?
amigaski(whispering back)
Well if washu's her mother then she was the only one I could think of
The family resemblance in striking ..... well the hair and everything.
And...he keep showing me a picture of you and here babbling about how good
of a choice you made in a wife.
tenchi
Thought so.
At least you got on her good side.
amigaski
Exactly.
washu
Well since amigaski's here we should get going and let them get to work.
See nobi I can do things right.
(Grabs his arm.)
If you will just loosen up a bit I can show you a few more things that I can do.
nobi(Shaking his head.)
Don't start that again.
(Washu nobi sasami mishoshi and ayeka diapered though a portal.)
amigaski
Talk about an exit.
tenchi
Well I guess it's time to get to work.
What do the papers say?
amigaski(Looking though the papers and puling one out.)
Here's what needs to go first.
tench(Looking at the papers.)
Well we need to get the first trucks into the lab to load them.
There's no shipments going over rail just truck.
ryoko
That means getting them into the portal in the main building
but...
That's across the rail road tracks from where the trailers are setting.
amigaski
Well I guess we need to move the rail road cars that's in the way so
we can move the trailers over there.
Just hook up the locomotive and move em.
tenchi(Getting a blank look on his face.)
One problem.
amigaski
What?
tenchi
Well washu has a bunch of trailers and a couple semi tractors to move them with.
She has about fifty rail road cars setting here in front of us that she got with the
place but.....
ryoko
let me guess she has nooo locos.
tenchi
yap.
We're going to have to talk to washu about this.
ryoko
Well I guess I'll have to move them the old fashioned way.
tenchi(looks at her questionably)
What?
(Ryoko walks up to the end of a line of railroad stalk and starts pushing
the cars begin to role down the track as amigaski's eyes bulge out.)
amigaski
It's a good thing I'm on her good side.
tenchi
Ow dang I keep forgetting.
(Walks to the end of another line of freight cars the symbol glows on his head
and he starts pushing that line down the track.)
amigasski(nervously)
Well I think I'll just set here and make sure nobody sees you to human locomotives.
tenchi
Why don't you see if you can figure out how to operate one of those trucks?
amigaski
Yes that's a good idea.
tenchi
I hope she has the lifts in the lab to load the stuff with.
ryoko
If she don't then she can load the trailers herself.
tenchi
Good idea.
The end.
I don't own any of the characters in the story.
AIC/Pioneer owns them all..
Changing times chapter two.
By N9WOS
It is based on the OVAs
I have four other chapters planed that follow this one.
I decided to leave the wedding thing out entirely
after cutting it out of the first chapter.
I would just be rewriting what other people have written
a thousand times over.
(Early in the morning the household is waking up
mihoshi is setting on the couch watching intergalactic TV.
Nobi is split between helping sasami in the kitchen and stopping
to look at news stories that flash on the TV once in a while.
Ayeka is setting at the table reading a book.)
(Tenchi comes down the stairs dragging a sleepy ryoko
as nobi look out the kitchen door at them.)
tenchi
You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get her moving in the morning.
ryoko
What do you expect it's five in the morning.
nobi
Well this meal should get you going.
We're going to give your new taste buds a workout.
ryoko
Sasami!!!!!! Do you have to tell everyone?
(Sasami sticks her head around the door frame.)
sasami
YES I do!!!
I've recruited nobuyuki to make some of the dishes he's learnt
as he was raising tenchi.
I'm making some of my favorite dishes for you to try too.
you just drank water last night and that's not much to go on.
tenchi
And nobi's dishes ain't much to go on either.
nobi(from the kitchen)
I heard that.
tenchi
Well I've ate them all my life and I'm pretty sick of em.
nobi(from the kitchen)
You don't now good food when you've got it right infront of you.
tenchi
Well it don't taste like sasami's.
nobi(sticking his head around the door frame)
I'm not sasami so of course it don't taste like her's.
(Sasami and nobi duck back in the kitchen)
(Tenchi and ryoko set on the couch and watched the TV)
ryoko(m)
Is nobi's cooking that bad?
tenchi(m)
Wellll.... no but I can't let him have the upper hand.
ryoko(giggling)(m)
Well I'm surprised you do have spunk in you.
By the way do you think anyone knows about are link?
tenchi(m)
Well not at this point.
I think we should keep it at that.
ryoko(M)
It's kinda fun talking behind peoples backs
without them knowing isn't it?
tenchi (m)
I wonder if washu will continue trying to find out
why she can't talk to you?
ryoko(m)
I have no idea.
mihoshi
Ryoko I watched something last night that said being very close
to another person strengthens one and and helps them
become familiar with the other person.
ryoko(With a stricken look on her face)
Yea that's true all to true......
tenchi(M)
Yea close to someone but there ain't much way to get closer
to some one than what we experienced when we woke up today.
ryoko(m)
Yea tell me about it talk about two minds in one body.
mihoshi
It also said that being familiar with someone made it more likely
for you to fall in love with them.
Having sex with them would just be a result of the love and
not the cause of it.
tenchi(m)(coughing)
Sex would be kind of a let down after this morning.
(out loud)
You know you watch to much TV mihoshi.
mihoshi
Well .... a few people have said that but there is noting else to do.
ryoko
What ever.
(m)
Do you think we should tell anyone about last night either.
tenchi(M)
NO....
You talk about washu running test on us now if she hears she'll
have us strapped to everything in the place
and speaking of that I'm going to talk to her about that.
ryoko(m)
yea yea yea later ....
(out loud)
It looks like their bringing out the food now.
(Everyone gathers around the table. and sasami and nobi set out the food.)
sasami
What about washu?
Nobi will you tell washu to come it's time to eat?
nobi
Alright.
(Nobi walks in to the lab and gets washu.)
(As their walking to the table.)
washu
Well you sure do have a lot of stuff to eat here.
nobi
No one lays a hand on anything till ryoko tries everything.
washu (grumbles)
But I'm hungry.
(As they set down with the others.)
nobi
Then take that as a lesson.
washu
Why do I need lessons from you of all people?
nobi
Well from what sasami told me.
For one you didn't put such basic things as
taste in and generally make complete
someone that you are so quick to call your daughter.
And two ayeka told sasami that you left her
in one of your machines all night which lead to
the whole event of her regaining her taste and other stuff.
ryoko(m)
Like the ability to have kids.
nobi(continuing)
So even though she came out better in the long run the
actions are totally inexcusable.
The whole thing of leaving her there is disheartening.
Anyone that has had a child knows that their welfare
and happiness is always comes before yours.
Anyone that can just leave someone that they call
their child hanging there crying because they forgot about
them is no parent.
washu(Starting to interrupt.)
I didn't forget her I wa....tap......
nobi(Not noticing she was staring to say something..)
Anyone that cares for their child would die at the thought of
their child crying alone and helpless.
I couldn't bear the thought of tenchi being trapped somewhere
and the shear thought of me being responsible for forgetting him
is horrifying to me.
I would go though concrete walls with my bare hands to help
him or I would die trying.
washu(Mentally to herself.)
Maybe I shouldn't mention the tap.
nobi
You don't know how to take care of her at all.
You haven't had a baby
and you don't know what it's like being a parent.
washu(ticked)
I know how to treat my children.
I had a baby.
I cared for a baby MY baby perfectly fine thank you.
I can't help that my child was taken away because of
grown up things like class and lineage.
tenchi(m)
I think dad can handle her.
He's stedfast about being a good father.
nobi(Taking the revelation in but not getting the hole meaning.)
(mumbling)..but she's just a small girl....
(Putting his wits back in place.)
If ryoko was taken away from you then......
washu(screaming)
NO...
I had a little baby boy twenty thousand years ago
I raised him like a mother should.
He was taken away from me because the family couldn't
have it known that I was his mother so his father
took him and left one day and I never seen him again.
ryoko(m)
He's got his hands full.
nobi(After re sizing his appraisal of the situation)
(comely)
I can't help that.
No one around here can help that.
I'm sorry for you but that don't change the situation here.
washu(slowed down but still growling a bit)
I know how to take care of a baby just fine.
I don't need you telling me how to take care of a child.
nobi(noticing her almost constant use of "baby")
Exactly how old was he when he was taken away from you?
washu
About one and a half years old.
nobi
What about ryoko?
How old was she when kagato took her?
Why was she born without her taste and stuff?
washu(comely)
Well she wasn't born she was made full size.
When I made her I left out the non important
stuff till I got her basic system down complete
and it allowed me to utilize her to use the gems.
Kagato took her right after I finished with the gems.
nobi(As things come clear in his mind)
So basically you have no experience with raising a kid
after about two years of age.
washu
Well how hard can it be?
nobi
Well for one ryoko had no childhood you made sure of that.
Two the years under kagato hasn't helped her any.
So she sill had the mental development of child.
Now I can see why tenchi wanted to run things out.
It was giving her time to mature.
ryoko
Hey I'm perfectly matured.
nobi
You may be physically but mentally your not.
ryoko(m)
Tenchi tell him he isn't right.
tenchi(m)
He does have a point.
(ryoko grumbles)
nobi
Washu isn't helping .
From what I hear you still treat ryoko as a lab experiment
ayeka
Doesn't she treat everyone as a lab experiment?
tenchi
Tell me about it.
If you beg for her to let you out she just ignores you.
washu
Well I have to do my work.
nobi
Until it infringes on someone else against their will
and family always comes before work.
You know how to take care of a young child
but you don't know how to raise a child into an adult.
You have to reinforce their feelings and beliefs.
tenchi
How does peeping in the onsen count DAD?
nobi
Well.............. I was trying to make you more sure
of yourself around the lades.....
Back on the point.
You treating ryoko as a lab experiment don't help her any.
You can't just leave her setting around when you want to
do something else.
Even if you made her she is still made from your egg cells
so she is still your child.
You have one boy but you also have a young girl that needs a mother.
You may think of her as an experiment but she's also your child.
Just because you were hurt by loosing him don't mean that you
should stay detached from her to protect yourself from pain.
sasami
Will you leave this conversation till later the food's getting cold.
ryoko
Yea you want the first thing for me tasting to be cold food.
nobi
Sorry.
washu
Sorry but I still know how to treat ryoko.
ryoko
Ya right
sasami
Ryoko try something.
ryoko
Alright lets see here everyone likes crackers so much lets try one.
(She takes a bite out of one.)
MMMmmmmm gooooooood.
Whereas lest try some sack to wash that down with.
nobi
I wouldn't if I was you.
ryoko
What ever
(Takes a slug of saki and spits it out.)
(Tenchi turns a bit green but keeps quiet.)
Dam that's horrible!!!!!!!!
That can't be saki.
nobi
Well it's an acquired taste.
ryoko
Well I don't plan on acquiring it.
Have ya got anything else?
sasami
Yap
We have grape fruit juice orange juice milk wine lemonade and soda.
Nobi can even make you some coffee.
nobi
I don't think she would like that either.
ryoko
I'll take anything just get this disgusting taste out of my mouth.
tenchi(fills ryokos glass with some milk)
Try this.
ayeka(giggling)
I don't believe it ryoko don't like saki
ryoko(after drinking the whole glass)
That's good I want to try something else.
sasami
Anything you want go ahead and eat.
(A few hours later.)
(Washu is heading to the couch and tenchi sees her.)
tenchi
Washu I want to talk to you.
washu
What do you need my little guinipig?
tenchi
That's the exact subject I am interested in.
I'm going to lay down a few rules they are.
One don't string anyone up without their permission
And two put a voice activated device on your equipment
so if anyone says they want out the restraints will release.
Washu(grumbles)
Alright......
(mumbling to herself)
You take all the fun out of it.
tenchi
What was that?
washu
Awww nothing see ya later.
tenchi
See ya..
washu(to her self)
At least I have the tape.
(After she thinks everyone has left the house she
plops the tape in the player and sets down to watch.)
Ow this is good ......
(As the tape is playing nobi walks in from a back room
and sees what is playing on the screen
and just sets there in shock as he realizes what she done two nights ago.)
(He comely walks up to the tap player and pulls out the tap and
brakes it over his knee.)
washu
This don't look good.
(She gets off the couch and starts heading for the lab door.)
(As nobi grabs her shirt collar.)
Eppp ....... What seams to be the problem mister misaki?????
nobi
Even though I seen it I can't believe it.
You sat there and watched her cry her eyes out
and you want her to call you MOM.......
You also say that you like tenchi but do you have any idea what
he would think of you if he had saw that tape?
washu
Well no but I don't think he would mind to much.
He don't complain much when I leave him hanging around.
nobi
That's where your wrong.
He has learnt to be tolerant of people being mean to him
but he can't stand people being mean to his friends and family.
I certainly can't tolerate it and ryoko is now
(puts his mouth by her ear)
MY FAMILY AND I TAKE IT PERSONALLY!!!!!!
washu(Regaining some of her spunk.)
Well what ya going to do? Is the big man going to beat up a little child?
nobi(Gets a sadistic grin on his face.)
NOPE....
If you insist on acting like a spoiled little child with no manners or cares about anyone
else besides your experiments and generally being mean to everyone if it suites you.
I am left with one choice.
washu(starting to worry)
Wa..waaa. what's that?
nobi(with a slight chuckle)
I will be forced to punish you like the spoiled child you are.
washu(as nobi is dragging her to the couch)
What are you planing on doing?
nobi(as he sets down and lays washu across his lap.)You will be spanked.
washu
WHAT ??? are you kidding pleas don't this is embarrassing!!!!
nobi(grumbling to himself)
I've never had to do this to tenchi and I'm against the idea but
there's a first time for everything.
(whap whap whap)
washu
Will you stop what if someone comes in?
(whap whap whap whap)Quit pleas your embarrassing me!!!!!
(whap whap whap)
nobi
Ryoko begged to and you never listened to her.
(whap whap whap whap)
(Out side tenchi ryoko and mihoshi hear the commotion from the house.)
tench
It sounds like their fighting again.
mihoshi
Ow my it don't sound good.
ryoko
I'll go in and check it out.
tenchi
Wait lets take it slow and walk in you don't want to drop
right in the middle of the fight.
ryoko
Alright.
(They quickly run to the house.)
(Back in the house.)
washu
Well you taped tenchi all the time can't I tape ryoko?
(whap whap whap)
nobi
Did I ever tape him when he was crying his eyes out?
(whap whap)
washu
Nope.....
But what am I suppose to do?
(whap whap)
nobi
Grow up and quit acting like a child.
(whap whap whap)
washu
Alright you ask for it.
(Right as a hit lands she enlarged)
nobi
W...T....F.....
(The trio arrives about that time.)
tenchi
DAD what in the heck is going on?
nobi
uuu....uuu.....I...I....
ryoko
I thought you hated washu now your doing
kinky stuff with her.
nobi
but I ....but I....
mihoshi
There is other ways to progress the relationship besides going to S and M.
(Nobi turns white.)
washu
Ya but he likes that sort of thing.
tenchi
Owwwww man I knew it he finely decided to round a girl up for himself.
He's decided to take a hard case that he'll have to straiten out
on his own to make a good wife.
nobi(as washu growls)
I....I....I....
(nobi passes out)
ryoko(Looks over at tenchi.)
So that's where you get your fainting habit.
tenchi(grumbles)
And that's where you get your personality from.
ryoko (grumbles)
What ever.
mihoshi
Just try to keep the blankets clean it's my turn to do the laundry.
ryoko and tenchi(turn green)
Were outa here.
(As they leave ryoko grabs mihoshi by the arm.)
ryoko
They don't need any more encouragement.
(The trio leave.)
washu(Thinking to herself.)
Hmmm that maybe a good idea.
There is no way tenchi could kick me out.
Nobi does have half the genetic code for the LHW's.
He did raise tenchi good.
He has a good sense of hummer till it comes to the safety of his family.
Family is more important to him than everything even social status.
He is relatively smart.
He don't look half bad.
He was loyal to his wife and still is loyal to her memory.
He is about 40 not much older than my true form.
With a little gene therapy ill have him looking a good 30 in no time.
I've been thinking there is no grownups that care about anything
besides status and money but there is one right under my nose.
I'll have to spend some more time with him.
This may be fun.
(out loud)
What do you say nobi?
If your going to be my husband you better have a good heart.
MMuuuhaahah he hehhe
Maybe we can go into the lab and try it right now.....hmmm ..na..
I'm already in enough trouble with that already.
Maybe I should take the long path ......yap the long path....
(A few hours later.)
(Mihoshi has told ayeka about washu and nobi.)
(Ayeka is sweeping the steps outside tenchi is cleaning the floor
Mihoshi is doing the laundry and ryoko and sasami are in the kitchen.
Nobi is setting on the couch still passed out and washu in adult form
is snuggled up beside him with her head laying on his chest watching TV.
Her arms are wrapped around him with the blankets puled over them.)
nobi(waking up)
What the ......I had a strange dream....(looks down)
Owww Myyyyyy Goddddddddddddddd washu get off me now!!!!!!!!!
washu
Ow what's a mater my little nobi did you have a bad dream?
I can make it all better for you if you want.
nobi
Your nobi .what ...the.....
(Nobi throws off the blankets and struggles to get up with no success.)
washu
What you doing nobi its cold in here aren't you going to keep me warm?
nobi
TENCHI RYOKO MIHOSHI SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Everyone hears and comes to the couch to see what's going on.)
nobi
Ryoko will you get your mom off me she's gone insane.
ayeka
But I thought you two where.????
nobi
Well you thought wrong she won't let go and she keeps babbling about
me being "her nobi".....
ryoko
But what about this evening?
nobi
She was insisting on acting like a child so I decided to punish her like one
so I decided to spank her.
ryoko(On the verge of cracking up.)
That would have been a sight.
mihoshi
But why would you spank an adult?
nobi
She was little when I was spanking her.
Well until I said that she needed to grow up and quit acting like a child.
tenchi
Owww that's right you didn't know that she is actually an adult and
just pretending to be a child.
nobi
Now you tell me.
Will you get her off me???
ayeka
Why you two look like a good couple and you could teach her a few
things about being responsible.
nobi
But my wife in heaven is the only I love.
I would be going back on my promise if I married another women.
tench(m)
What do you think ryoko?
I think turnabout is fair play.
He thinks I need a wife so he
should benefit from it too.
ryoko(m)
You do have a point
and he could straighten her out a bit.
(out loud)
Not exactly.
If tenchi told me right she told you to not hesitant about
finding another wife after she died.
nobi(teary eyed)
Yes my beautiful wife.
Even on her death bed she was only worried about my happiness.
tenchi
So you are actually going against her wishes by trying to run
everything and keep the family intact by yourself.
nobi
No I'm not!!!!!!!.
She said if I fall in love with someone to not hesitate to marry them.
washu
We can work on that can't we nobi?
nobi
Be quiet.
tenchi
Don't be to hard on him washu.
ryoko
Ya don't give dad a heart attack.
mihoshi
wha.........
ayeka(as she pulls mihoshi by the arm)
lets go mihoshi
(snickers)
It looks like we have a new addition to the royal family
sasami
What do you mean?
ayeka
Well nobi is part of the royal family by marriage to kione
so washu will now be part of the royal family by marriage
to nobi instead of just being the parent of one.
(Everyone is giggling as they leave the room.)
nobi
Don't leave me here and I am not marring her.
washu
Just give me time my little nobi.
nobi
I'm not your little nobi!!!!!!!!
washu
Quit flailing your arms it makes it hard to pull the covers over us.
nobi
That's my intention...
(A few days after ryoko and tenchi's wedding.)
(Nobi and washu are outside talking to sasami
and washu has her arms wrapped around him from behind.)
sasami
Washu you haven't been in your lab in days.
Don't you have stuff to do in there?
Don't you have to go back to your projects?
nobi
If I was only so lucky.
washu
Ow that's no problem it'll take care of it's self
and by the way family is always more important than work.
Ain't it nobi?
nobi
I don't see how family has any thing to do with this.
washu
If you give me a bit of your time we can make are own family
and you can show me all about raising a kid.
So if you'll just come with me we can get thing's started.
nobi(red as a beat)
I don't think so.
Why are you acting like this anyway?
washu
Well it worked for my daughter so it should work for me.
nobi(sarcastically)
Ow the logic astounds me.
(The phone rings in the house.)
(Ryoko answers the phone.)
ryoko(Yelling out the window.)
Dad it's for you!!!!!!
It's amigaski.
nobi(Walking in the house with washu trailing along)
I wonder what he needs.
What can possibly be going wrong now?
(Picks up the phone.)
Hello what's the problem?
amigaski
Well I'm at the meeting and their being a pain.
The contract said that the plans have to be ready by
the fifteenth of April which is two weeks away.
The problem is one of the four design firms has dropped
out and they want the other three to finish up the
support structure drawings that the vacated firm was slated to do.
nobi
That would be impossible.
amigaski
Well they have the go ahead from the financier
so they want the plans so they can get started.
nobi
It would be impossible for the three remaining firms to design
a quarter of the building in two weeks and do a decent job at it.
And I don't plan on having my firms name tied to a building
that's going to fall down.
amigaski
Tell me about it.
nobi
Ow well I'll be down there in a few hours.
amigaski
Well hurry up you might be able to join the rest of the
design firm owners in a collective bashing of the
construction company representatives.
nobi
yea yea yea I'll be right there.
(Hangs up the phone.)
Well I guess I'll have to get dressed and leave.
He's having some problems at the meeting so I'll be heading out.
washu
Ow goody I always wanted to see what you do during work
I might be able to help you here and there if you need any.
I have lots of expectance with meetings and negotiations.
nobi(Hangs his head.)
Ow no I forgot about her.
(He remembers what amigaski said a few days ago abut
finding a lady for himself and begins to cry.)
(At the meeting nobi walks in fallowed by washu.
he's dressed in a black suit she's in a red suit.)
amigaski
Hey how are you doing yushi should be here in a bit
Everyone has demanded to talk to the construction company owner.
nobi
finally
If we all have to be here he should to.
amigaski(Noticing washu holding nobi's arm.)(eyes bulging out)
I KNEW IT YOU'VE FO.............(as nobi covers amigaskis mouth.)
nobi
lets go in the back room I need to tell you a few things.
(Amigaski and nobouki head into a adjoining room to talk
washu went to mingle with the crowd.)
amigaski
I knew it you've found you a lady.
nobi
NO I have NOT!!!!!!
amigaski
Well it looks that way to me.
nobi
No she's the mother of tenchis wife.
amigaski
WHAT IN THE HELL
TENCHI HAS A WIFE!!!!!!!
nobi
quiet......
(proudly)
Yes he married ryoko he's known her for a long time
but he finally got the courage to ask her for her hand in marriage.
Owww I'm so happy!!!!
amigaski
ow her I've herd about her from tenchi.
According to him she wasn't raised well and has a short temper
but she's doing better.
nobi
Well he also loved her but never had the courage to tell her so.
amigaski
Sounds about right.
When ever tenchi got in a situation he was unfamiliar with
he gets defensive and isolates himself.
nobi
Yea she needed someplace to stay so she moved in
a little over a year ago.
nobi (thinking)
Ow I get it now he was thinking about her at school and
I sad he was.....s....with........mum.......
That's why he hit me.
What about your lady out there.
nobi
She is NOT my lady.
As I said she's ryokos mother.
She has been divorced a long time ago.
Ryoko was her last child and when
ryoko moved in with tenchi she started hanging around the house.
amigaski
Ow that's right that must of been when you literally had your
house moved to your father inlaws property to get your family
away from the city after someone blew up the school.
It scared a lot of people and you with it.
I can see why you didn't want tenchi around the city after that.
nobi
Yea yea yea but after she started hanging around she got the idea
in her head that I would be a perfect husband.
I guess after her first husband she thinks I'm a saint.
amigaski
Well how do you feel about her.
nobi
Wellll......she looks nice and she knows a lot welll.......
actually her IQ is though the roof.
She even after having two children don't really know
how to raise one and she is starting to be annoying.
She also thinks I would be a perfect father so she
wants to start turning out kids for crying out loud!
She keeps prepositioning me to start a family and
we aren't married yet.
I do care for her but NOT LIKE THAT!!!!!!!
amigaski
calm...calm....
I get the point that you are not the one instigating the relationship.
nobi
It's not a relationship!!!!
amigaski
Well she thinks it is and she was starting to talk with
the other people in the room when we headed out.
nobi
DAM lets see what she's doing now.
(Nobi enter the main room and join the group around washu.)
namgi(Another design firm owner.)
Well nobi it looks like you got a fine lady here she thinks
a lot of you.
(Nobi growls under his breath.)
nobi(nervous)
Well .. it isn't really what you think.
namgi
Ow don't be shy I knew someone like
you would find a good lady sooner or later.
(Namgi continues talking.)
(Nobi is about to say something but hears someone
in the corner of the room talking.)
(Amigaski also hears them and listens.)
hitoro(Construction company rep.)
Yea she looks like someone that would do that.
comtori(Construction company rep.)
Yea she spreads her legs for him and nobiuki will
pour the money to her.
nobi(In a stunned state.)
wa... the......
amigaski(mentally)
OW no not this.
Those two have chopped up half the people in the room already.
hitoro
Yea she looks hot and he has money.
She wants the money so if she lets him
bang her you can live the good life.
nobi(blood starting to broil)(under his breath)
I ....don't ..... believe .....I ....did... nothing of the such....
comtori
She looks like she probably went though a few other
rich people already so she going after the small fish now.
amigaski(mentally)(Seeing nobi's face twisting in anger.)
This ain't going to be good.
(Youshi walks in the door about that time.)
hitoro
Yea she talks like she knows a lot but the way shes
acting she's probably dumb as a brick.
I wonder if he's used all her holes yet....epp....misaki
(Nobi walks infront of the two people
with his face twisted in furry.)
nobi(Yells distracting everyone in the room.)
WILL YOU MIND TELLING EVERYONE IN HERE
WHAT YOU JUST SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hitoro(in a light voice)
No it's a privet conversation.
nobi
WELL I COULD CERTAINLY HEAR IT!!!!!!!!
(A few of the people in the room.)
Well what was they saying?
nobi(Still in a loud voice that every one can hear.)
I won't say what they said because it is beyond degrading.
But to answer your accusations.
She isn't dumb as a brick.
She don't put out for money.
And she hasn't spread her legs for me.
(regains his breath and continues)
What she is the mother of my sons wife.
(a few gasp can be heard)
Tenchi wife is her daughter so that makes her family
so(screaming)YOU ARE INSULTING MY FAMILY
AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO INSULT MY FAMILY
SAY IT TO MY FACE YOU HEAR.
(Regaining his breath again.)
She has had a hard life and her daughter has had a hard life.
She was divorced and had her first child taken away from her.
She thinks I have been a good father to tenchi and
she has a crush on me because she thinks that I might be a
good husband to her and not skip out on her so she has
been hanging around me since tenchi married ryoko
and has been trying to get on my good side.
That is as far as things has went GOT IT!!!!
(Yushi walks up to the three)
yushi
Hitoro comitori have you been insulting him behind his back
It seams like I'm getting a lot of complaints from people about that.
comitori
Well no sure we was just having a privet conversation about nothing.
youshi
If it was about nothing lets hear it.
hitoro
Well I don't think it's relevant to what misaki is complaining about..
youshi
Now I've known misaki since I started this company and he has worked
with me on projects from then on.
So do you think that I will believe you over him.
Add that to the fact that it was so bad that it got mister misaki the maddest
I have ever seen him in my life.
So you have two options.
One tell us what you said and most likely get fired and nothing else will be
said of it outside this room or.
Two not tell us which you will get fired
and I will make sure you never get hired by anyone again.
and misaki better agree with what you admit or option two will be implemented.
hitoro
Comitori how much do we have to say?
comitori
Well anything after he entered the room.
hitoro
WHoooo well alrighty...lets spill the beans.
comitori
Welll I said that she was just going after him for his money.
hitoro
Then I said that sounds about right.
comitori
Then I said yea she (gulps)spreads her legs for him and nobiuki will
poor out the money.
(washu just stands there stunned)
hitoro
I then said she looks hot and he has money
and she wants the money so if she lets him
(gulps)bang her she can live the good life.
comtori
I then said she probably went though a few other
rich people already so she's going after the small fish now.
hitoro
And the last thing I said is
She talks like she knows a lot but the way shes
acting she's probably dumb as a brick.
(washu turns red in fury)
And I wonder if............
youshi
Continue hitoro we are waiting.
hitoro
I wonder if he's used all her holes yet.
(washu just shakes her head in disbelief.)
youshi
Misaki is that adequate.
(nobi nods)
(Youshi has a blank look on his face for a bit then finally speaks.)
youshi
You two may leave now you will get your pink slips in the mail.
(Hitoro and comitori leave the room bowing as they leave.)
(He turns to face the rest of the people.)
So what is the problem I came here for?
(After youshi discuses the primary problem
with the designers they are all looking at
plans setting on the tables and pined to the walls.)
namgi
See youshi after compten design firm dropped out
all we have is a building with no support structure.
We have the basic frame work that the building
will be designed around but the actual design of
the framing members and support columns is possessed by compten.
youshi
And with them dropping out that means that the
structural steal suppler is gone to because they
only work with the compten design firm.
nobi
Ya we know what points the flooring and walls attache
to the support structure but no one has the designs to the
support structure and the only designs are property of compten's
(Washu was looking over the plans and calming herself
from the earlier incident.)
(She started getting a broad smile across her face
and she went over to nobi.)
washu
Hey nobi can I talk with you alone for a second?
nobi
Sure I will be right with you.
(Turns to youshi and namgi.)
I will be right back.
(Wahsu and nobi enter another side room and began talking.)
nobi
What do you want.
washu
Well I'm sorry for getting you in that situation earlier but
I see you people are in a jam and I think I can help you out.
nobi
aww.no don't worry about that incident but
I don't think they could handle a building appearing out of no where.
washu
no no
I was thinking that I could design the support structure and
supply the steel for the job.
nobi
Theres the stuff appearing out of no where problem again.
washu
Not really.
Remember the old steel mill you gave me the earth money to get.
nobi
Ow ya
I almost forgot you got that for a steal.
It was almost a two hundred acres with the
complete steel mill for a little more than the price of a mid size car.
washu
Yeap nobody wanted it because they had to clean up the mess the
previous owners had left for them.
nobi
I couldn't resist that little smile of yours when
you ask for the money to get it.
washu
Ow your thaaaat type huu
If you like that size so much I guess
I could go back to my previous form if it's so irresistible.
(The image of a twelve year old washu hanging around his
neck preposition unspeakable in his ear goes though
his mind and he turns a slight shade of green.)
nobi
NO...NO NO NO..... tha.....I.......wh.....
I think your actual form is much better looking.
washu
Well I didn't know I was making so much progress.(giggles)
I guess I could stop at the lingerie store and pick up
something to accent my curves better...
nobi(shaking his head)
Not if I can help it.
Back to the steel mill.
I had no idea why you wanted it.
The only thing I know is after you got it
the place turned from an old dump to crystal clean in a few weeks.
The old rusty buildings are nice shiny stainless steel and
The rail road tracks are stainless steel embedded in concrete instead of setting
on wooden ties.
The other thing I know it that people think there is a secret government
research project in there or something with all the strange stuff that's
going on.
washu
What I wanted it for is someplace to have access to earth besides
the house and as someplace I could interact with the outside world more.
nobi...(thinks)
AAAAhhhh I get it .......steel mill.....
It would be the perfect place to send stuff out from and it would fit
perfectly with what you are producing.
But won't they notice that it would be impossible to produce the
materials that you would most likely turn out?
washu
Aww that's no problem the stuff will look hand welded all the way.
nobi
Another thing is why would you do all this?
washu
Well to help you out and to prove to the other people that
I'm not DUMB AS A BRICK.
nobi(chucking)
Aww I get it.
It's a hundred story building.
So you will say you will have your team make up the
designs and produce the first of the steel work in .....lets say four weeks.
washu
Who do you think your talking to?
I have four planets at my disposal.
I will say give me copies of all the existing plans
and I will have all the steel work
setting out for you to haul away in two days..
nobi
WHAT.......
That'll go over like a lead balloon.
What about 10 days they could believe that
if you had a state of the art automated production faculty.
People would believe that because of all the stuff going
on out at the old steel mill.
washu
How about this
One tenth of the money up front and I have the first of the steel
ready in two weeks.
I can just let it set around till they get it.
nobi
What's the ten percent up front for?
washu
Well I need earth money to by flat bed trailers and a semi tractor
or two to move them around with.
I already have a bunch of rail cars that came with the place
but I need to actually buy the flat beds because it'll
be hard explaining how thirty flat bead semi trailers popped
out of thin air and a few semi tractors to boot
when I put license plates on them.
nobi
Good point.
The only other question I have is
do you have any idea how much money your dealing with?
It will be at least more than my firm has made in two to three years.
washu
Ya I won't need to bum any more earth money off you.
(chuckling)If your lucky you can be a partner.
nobi
what?
You mean you going to start a regular business?
washu
Yes that way I can have something to cover the activity
I'm planing on having with the GP and Juri.
nobi(shaking his head)
What am I getting myself into???????????
washu
Shall we go in there and give them a heart atack?
nobi
I guess.
(Nobi and washu enter the main room.)
youshi
What have you two been doing?
nobi
Well we've been discussing the situation and
washu though that she might be able to help.
namgi
You mean you know a bit about building sky scrapers.
washu
Of course.
The reason I think I can help is you need a design
firm to make the plans for the structural steel and
you need a company to make the actual steel structure
after it's designed.
I think I can help you with both.
youshi(puzzled)
Howwww????
washu
You know the old steel mill that's been rebuilt.
Who do you think owns it?
(Every one in the room stopped talking and looked at her.)
namgi(turning slightly pail)
let me guess you do.
washu
Yes
I've outfitted it with the top of the line automated fabrication equipment
and computer design equipment.
I can't tell you what it's capability are because I have a lot
of time in it and it's a company secret.
One thing I can tell you is I want to try it out and you need
help right now so I can't think of a better opportunity.
youshi
Misaki is she telling the truth?
nobi
Yes she is.
youshi
What type of arrangement are you thinking of?
washu
Well I will need copies of all your plans to work from and
I should have all the plans done in a week.
(Mummers of "that's impossible" speed across the room.)
No it isn't.
I have a top of the line super computer and I will
have the first shipments of steel out the door to you
one week after that.
The only thing I need is ten percent up front.
I will have everything made before the schedule you have planed.
youshi
Now misaki is she capable of this?
nobi
I'm pretty sure she can do what she said.
youshi
Do you even know what the other company was wanting for the job?
washu
No but I'm pretty sure I can match it without problems.
(Youshi pulls out a paper from under a stack and looks over it.)
youshi
Heres what the other companies quote was.
(shows it to washu)
Is this sufficient?
(Washu grins broadly and nods her head.)
If you get anything turned out in two months and keep it to sects
I will be delighted.
If you actually meet the schedule you just stated and produce a quality product
I will double it.
(Washu grins even more.)
(Nobi walks over to washu and looks at the price figure.)
(His eyes pop out of his scull.)
nobi
What the fudge!!!!!!!!
You don't mess around with small fry do you?
washu
Nope.
nobi
Amigaski I think we will need to discuss a few things with you.
amigaski
How come I'm not surprised.
(After a blizzard of papers people coping floppies and copiers being pummeled
they leave the building with a van full of boxes and amigaski in the seat behind them.)
nobi
Alright now amigaski there is a few things your going to need to know so we'll just
tell you everything and be done with it.
That's why we left your car at the office till we get back.
You know the girls the tenchi has fallowing him around.
amigaski
Yap
(The drive on down the road telling him all the details of the last few years.
with him not believing a word as they head to the old steel mill.)
(They pull up beside the main building and get out with amigaski mumbling
about never seeing stainless steel rail road tracks on concrete before.)
(As they enter the building.)
amigaski(sarcastically)
So this I the place where the big magical inter dimensional portal is.
I've taken drafting physics calculus and even quantum mechanics but
I've never heard of this stuff.
washu
(Walking up to a big steel plate(8 stories tall 100 feet wide) that covered an entire wall.)
Her it is.
nobi
So that's why you needed this place.
You can have a lot larger permanent portal
than you could ever have around home.
washu
Yes ser re
I can bring stuff like entire space ships though without using a warp hole.
amigaski
All I see is a steel plate.
washu
Just wait.
(She forms a computer which freaks out amigaski and types a few things.
The wall shimmers and is replaced by a view of a large cavernous building
machines all along the walls and stuff suspended over head.)
Just walk though and your on lab planet three.
Amigaski(As he sticks his hand though the portal.)
It's true
but why tell me?
nobi
Well we will need a few in the family to help but we need
to tell you because you usually run firm when I'm gone so it's kinda
hard to keep you in the dark about what we're doing.
Everyone else in the firm is just doing what me or you say to
so they have no reason to know do they?
amigaski
Nope not really.
What about torsk?
nobi
Well he just works with the clients so he has no dealings
with this stuff.
amigaski
That's a relief he's the freaky kind
he'd probably put it on front page news.
washu
Well I think we should tell tenchi ryoko and who ever else wants in on it.
nobi
This is good.
I was worried about finding them something to support themselves with.
I guess their job can be working here.
washu
Well mostly on lab planet three they will just be loading it on flat bed
trailers and setting it outside for the semi tractors to hitch to and leave with.
nobi
What about the rail cars?
washu
Ow I have another portal over there where the track enters the building.
You can bring the cars right in and load them up and run them back out.
nobi
Where did ami go?
washu
Ow he's looking around the lab.
nobi
Alone?
washu
What could he possibly get into?
(She think a bit and turns pail.)
(Both nobi and washu run though the portal into the lab looking for amigaski.)
(That night washu and nobi are interesting the house.)
(Ryoko is watching TV and tenchi is in the kitchen snacking on leftovers.)
nobi
Hey kids I've got good news.
tenchi(As nobi's entering the living room.)
What junk have you been getting into now?
nobi
It's not junk me and washu have been planing something.
ryoko
Ow no this'll be good.
nobi
You got that right.
We've got you someplace to work..
(Tenchi comes in and sets down by ryoko.)
tenchi(groans)
Who are we working for?
washu
Me
tenchi
I fail to see how that will support us financially here.
You haven't got any earth money to pay us with.
Heck you keep bumming of dad for stuff.
washu
Not any more I've started my own steel company so I can
make money the old fashioned way earn it.
ryoko
Some how I think this is going to be a long story.
tenchi
Tell me about it.
washu
Not really all I need is someone to keep everything in order and to load
the trucks and prepare the stuff for shipment.
If you want to you can even oversee the design and production of the stuff.
tenchi
What is the said steel going for.
washu
The hundred story building nobi is working on.
tenchi
Then it would be a good idea for me to oversee the production of the stuff to.
You'd probably try and make it out of titanium or something.
washu
Don't you have any faith in me?
ryoko
Nope.
tenchi
Dad I think we're going to need your help.
You've gave me a few personal courses on architecture
and I've taken a few courses in drafting but I'm going to
need all the help I can get.
washu
It won't be that hard the computers will take care of all
the designing and all the production you just have to load the stuff.
tenchi
Ya but I have to make sure it looks like someone on earth built it.
Dad if you've got any books on structural design I would love
to see them.
nobi(proudly)
Sure anything you need I'll be here to help.
tenchi
Another small problem.
Won't it be suspicious to have truck loads of stuff appearing out
of thin air.?
washu
We have already discussed that.
You know the old steel mill by the hills.
I had purchased the thing a while back.
That's the location im going to be shipping from.
tenchi
Ow that's right you did get a good sum of doe a while back.
ryoko
I think I remember getting re directed to that once by the transporter unit in the lab.
That's a big place with a large open mine stretching out though the hills.
washu
I have the steel mill it's self.
I don't know about the mine.
tenchi
I think they are still wanting to sell it but they can't find any
buyers for it yet.
washu
Humm that's an idea.
I could spend some of the final payment on that
It would also make sure nobody can build anything close by.
tenchi
Somehow I think we're going to have a long day tomorrow so
we should really get to sleep.
(Everyone mumbles lines of agreement grabs
something to eat and heeds off to bed.)
(next day)
(Everyone assembled at the old steal mill.)
tenchi
Man washu you've got this placed fixed up.
sasami
WOW look at those huge vehicles can I drive one PLEASE????
ayeka
No you can't you might run over someone or a something like a
care or van.. .... or something....
washu
Well wait till I buy the old mine around us.
There is a decent amount of equipment included.
It seams like the stuff is so big it's not economical to move.
So... it stays with the mine and I've just made an agreement with
the owner to buy the mine when I get my final payment.
Believe me the dump trucks are a lot bigger than that
about seven stores tall to be exact.
sasami
WOW I can't wait.
washu
Well as soon as I get the mine I will have my equipment fix em up
so you can play with them.
ryoko
And if you need any help learning how to drive one just ask me. he he
ayeka
I swear your a bad influence on her.
By the way I think it's a good thing your doing washu.
Ryoko might learn some manners and useful skills for once.
(Ryoko glares at ayeka.)
mihoshi
Yea after all that destroying stuff it's neat shes actually helping build something.
Yukinojo had a hard time believing it but I finally convinced him.....
(Ryoko turns her glare to mihoshi.)
sasami
That's neat.
Ryoko are you going to fix the bridge to?
(Ryoko gets a glum look on her face and looks down in defeat.)
tenchi
One problem when are we actually making this stuff?
washu
Don't worry my equipment has already made the first shipment's of
material.
All you need to do is load the stuff and make sure it's sent on it's way.
tenchi
problem two
What's the companies name?
washu(Gets a stricken look across her face.)
Welllllll......... I haven't thought about that yet.....
tenchi
You mean they don't even know the company their buying off of
and they give you a wad of money to buy a couple sparkling new trucks and
a field of trailers that's setting around us??????
nobi
Well they were so happy to have someone to provide the needed materials
they didn't really care who made it..
And they took my word as a guarantee that she was telling the truth.
ayeka
So basically your stuck.
You have to come up with the stuff or else.
nobi
Yap
tenchi
Well what about the name?
All I see is that you've got all the equipment labeled with your little crab
and I have a nagging feeling that there's only one or two names you would be
happy with.
mihoshi
Well sense washu loves crabs it would be something with the word
crab in it somewhere ........hmmmmmm let me think what could it be????
ryoko
I might as well say it.
We're employed at ....ta da da da da....... crab steal.
washu
I like the ring of that.
(Everyone else mumbles curses under their breath.)
washu
Enough talking you have work to do.
(Hands ryoko and tenchi a ring to go on their finger.)
Just pinch the bottom of the ring in a quick motion and
a hollow computer will appear I have all the instructions on how to operate
the archaic equipment and the list of stuff that needs loaded.
It also includes instructions on how to properly fasten everything down.
nobi
Amigaski should be here in a bit he has the list of what needs
loaded on what trailers for shipments at what times according to what
the construction companies needs.
washu
All you will do is load up the stuff and line up the full trailers for
the construction company semis to hitch on and leave with.
After you get the stuff that's made up loaded and ready you won't need
to worry about anything for two months or so.
tenchi
Talk about a part time job.
nobi
Amigaski can handle the over looking of the company pick up's.
(The group can see a compact care puling up to them.)
nobi
That's amigaski now.
ayeka
If he's tenchis friend he must be a nice person isn't he tenchi.
tenchi
Yes but he has a habit of getting on your nerves once in a while.
(As amigaski gets out of the car ayeka gets a look of disgusted across her face.)
ayeka
It looks like he needs a diet.
tenchi(Getting a look of confusion.)
If he was skinny he wouldn't be amigaski,
nobi
Good point.
(Amigaski walks up to the group.)
amigaski
Well let me guess (points to ryoko) your tenchis wife.
ryoko(gets all starry eyed)
You mean it's that evident that we are meant to be together
that at first sight you can tell...
(Ryoko grabs tenchis arm.)
I new it was destiny.....
tenchi(As ryoko is adlibing tenchi leans over to amigaski and whispers)
Exactly how did you know?
Did dad show you a picture of something?
amigaski(whispering back)
Well if washu's her mother then she was the only one I could think of
The family resemblance in striking ..... well the hair and everything.
And...he keep showing me a picture of you and here babbling about how good
of a choice you made in a wife.
tenchi
Thought so.
At least you got on her good side.
amigaski
Exactly.
washu
Well since amigaski's here we should get going and let them get to work.
See nobi I can do things right.
(Grabs his arm.)
If you will just loosen up a bit I can show you a few more things that I can do.
nobi(Shaking his head.)
Don't start that again.
(Washu nobi sasami mishoshi and ayeka diapered though a portal.)
amigaski
Talk about an exit.
tenchi
Well I guess it's time to get to work.
What do the papers say?
amigaski(Looking though the papers and puling one out.)
Here's what needs to go first.
tench(Looking at the papers.)
Well we need to get the first trucks into the lab to load them.
There's no shipments going over rail just truck.
ryoko
That means getting them into the portal in the main building
but...
That's across the rail road tracks from where the trailers are setting.
amigaski
Well I guess we need to move the rail road cars that's in the way so
we can move the trailers over there.
Just hook up the locomotive and move em.
tenchi(Getting a blank look on his face.)
One problem.
amigaski
What?
tenchi
Well washu has a bunch of trailers and a couple semi tractors to move them with.
She has about fifty rail road cars setting here in front of us that she got with the
place but.....
ryoko
let me guess she has nooo locos.
tenchi
yap.
We're going to have to talk to washu about this.
ryoko
Well I guess I'll have to move them the old fashioned way.
tenchi(looks at her questionably)
What?
(Ryoko walks up to the end of a line of railroad stalk and starts pushing
the cars begin to role down the track as amigaski's eyes bulge out.)
amigaski
It's a good thing I'm on her good side.
tenchi
Ow dang I keep forgetting.
(Walks to the end of another line of freight cars the symbol glows on his head
and he starts pushing that line down the track.)
amigasski(nervously)
Well I think I'll just set here and make sure nobody sees you to human locomotives.
tenchi
Why don't you see if you can figure out how to operate one of those trucks?
amigaski
Yes that's a good idea.
tenchi
I hope she has the lifts in the lab to load the stuff with.
ryoko
If she don't then she can load the trailers herself.
tenchi
Good idea.
The end.
