*backs hesitantly away from Ryouko Tayamatari.* Okay Okay! I'll update! Geez, you didn't have to go all-personal. *wails* Nobody likes me anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Tenshi Ni Tsuite No Genjitsu*:: Don't hate me! I was just really tired and I couldn't write anymore! Pleaz don't hate me!!! *wails*

*brandy*:: Very good, you get another chapter! And for all the other reviewers that got the answer 'Mihoshi falls to the land of the stars' is correct!

Now, for the story. But the next chapter will skip a few episodes in the Tenchi series okay? Like the next climax chapter, which will either be the next chapter or the 6th chapter okay? Okay. I'm thinking of turning this into an epic story, ya know, where you put Usagi in with all the things that Tenchi and the others experience? Review and tell me what you think pleaz! NOW, for the story.

Chapter 4: Explanations and Planning

Usagi backed up a little, trying to cover herself as she shivered from under everyone's gazes. They all starred at her, amazed. After all, it wasn't every day the person you thought was a guy turns into a girl.

Kiyone almost fell over she was so shocked. Her supposedly future boyfriend was a girl! How could this happen! No wonder he was always so distant whenever she was trying to make an advance on him. He must have really been nervous with a girl since he was girl himself! She was blushing with embarrassment.

Tenchi was just stunned. There he was, looking at a girl who was supposed to be a boy, and who he had had talks with and thought would be such a good friend. Now he finds out that it was a boy he was talking to, oh boy. The torture never ended did it? Now there was another girl staying with them. *Well, she is pretty.* He thought, then he realized if he ever said that out loud Ryoko and Ayeka would murder the girl. He didn't want that to happen.

Usagi just sat there with a sweatdrop on her head, looking at them as they still starred at her, and didn't show any sign of stopping unless she did something soon. "Um.I guess you want some sort of explanation, hugh?" She sweatdropped and scratched the back of her neck.

Ryoko seemed to recover a bit, then smirked at the newcomer. "Well, yeah. I guess that would be the first step right?" She said. But in her head she was thinking, *If you go one step near Tenchi I'll turn you into a boy permanently.* Then realized that the poor girl had been through enough for one day. And she didn't seem to show any interest in Tenchi at the moment.

Ayeka then spoke up, an enlivening voice, "Yes, I do believe we should first go inside and get all cleaned up, then we can discuss this." Sensible as the princess was, she was thinking something similar to Ryoko. Then saw that she was scared and embarrassed right now. Maybe the girl was just a bit confused. When she was a boy she never showed any interest in Tenchi anyway. *Poor girl.* She thought. Ayeka went to help Usagi up, and then helped her inside and toward the ladies bath that Washu had created herself. Ryoko followed, then a moping Kiyone, then Mihoshi and Sasami, then Washu. Tenchi had decided to go and take his own bath. *I've gotta talk Washu into doing something about our bath, the girls get that bath, and the guys get one small one. Geez, Washu.* He thought.

***

Usagi was wrapped in a golden towel, sitting beside Mihoshi, who was talking to her about stuff that had nothing to do with the current problem.

"You ought to where the color gold more, Usagi, it really brings out the color of your hair." She went on about things that didn't really matter right then. She seemed to have accepted Usagi sooner than everyone else, but Ryo-okie seemed to like her, and Sasami. Kiyone seemed to still be moping at the fact that Usagi was really a girl instead of a guy, but she was coming around. Ryoko and Ayeka seemed to like her fairly well, dismissing the fact that she might be competition to them with Tenchi. But they had just met her, and they liked her well enough to be friends. Usagi was glad about that.

"So, how did you get the whole guy/girl thing?" Sasami asked, really interested in Usagi.

Ayeka interrupted. "I think that question can wait till we finish cleaning up. I'm sure Grampa, father, and Tenchi would like to know as well." She pointed out.

Ryoko looked up. "And when did they become your father and grampa, hugh, Ayeka?" She teased the Jurian Princess.

Ayeka fumed, and they started another fight about Tenchi and who he liked more.

Usagi and everyone else sweatdropped. Usagi took this time to thank Washu. "Thank you Washu for changing the curse. I'd rather be a girl while I bath." She blushed and Sasami, Mihoshi, and Kiyone giggled a bit.

Washu had changed the spell so that when she was in hot water she was girl and in cold water she was a guy. Too bad she couldn't completely take the spell off. Sure would have been convenient. But it was just too much to hope for for Usagi.

"No problem. I would like to study that curse for a while, if you'll let me. Which as while as you're here, you can't resist!" She laughed insanely for a few minutes, really pleased with herself for being able to black mail Usagi.

Usagi sweatdropped again. "Study? What do you mean?" She asked nervously.

"Well, it's really simple, nothing that will hurt I don't think. Just some tests, and a few other things. You can ask Tenchi, he has to go through it everyday. If you're lucky, you won't have to go through that, but you might, fair warning. Since the time machine is unfixable, you're just going to have to stay here till I find some time to make another one." She laughed again.

*Looks like I won't be coming home for a long time. And good thing to, I don't think I could take it to see those traitors again. They should have helped me instead of laughing their heads off as I get sucked into another world. It's all their fault.* Usagi thought seriously, her face going blank as she lost herself to thought.

Sasami waved a hand in front of her face. "Miss Usagi? Are you okay? You look kind of out of it." She asked her, smiling at her spaced out face.

Usagi snapped out of it, and then smiled at Sasami. "No I'm okay, thanks Sasami. And just call me Usagi. Miss Usagi makes me sound old." She giggled. Everyone else joined in their fun, even Ryoko and Ayeka as they realized they were being left out of everyone else's conversations.

***

Sasami cooked dinner for everyone. Usagi helped as much as she could, she even learned how to make some spaghetti and sauce and salads. Sasami helped her learn. Makoto never asked Usagi if she wanted to learn how to cook. Usagi thought about that a bit. She was thinking whether she liked this place better than Japan or not. So far, this world was winning. She helped Sasami take out all of the plates and food. The others were already seated. Usagi placed the plates out on the table as Sasami gave them all the toppings and such. She placed the silverware out for Nobiyuki, Tenchi, and Grampa, while Sasami did the girls side of the table.

They talked as they ate. Usagi explained about her situation and her problems in her dimension, and she even explained that she was Sailor Moon in her dimension as well. Mihoshi was all the more pleased with that.

"Sailor Moon! I love that show! You're the real Sailor Moon! This is so cool! I can't believe I get to meet you!" She shook Usagi's hand like this was the first time she had met Usagi in the whole time she had been here. Usagi was shocked at the way Mihoshi had said this, and even more shocked that she was in a TV show. Mihoshi explained everything, and Usagi learned soon that she knew all of her adventures, and she was all but flattered when Mihoshi asked for her autograph.

Grampa spoke up. "Miss Usagi, you would be welcome if you wished to stay here until you can find your way home. Washu had informed me that she will not have any time soon to make another machine for you."

Usagi was very grateful, but said, "Oh, I couldn't, I'll find somewhere in the city, I won't bother you like that. I'll find a job somewhere. Don't worry about me." She insisted.

"Will you stay here sometimes?" Sasami asked, holding onto Usagi's arm.

Usagi was touched by the little girl's affection. "I guess I could, if you wanted me to every once in a while." She smiled. "I'll come over and help with the chores everyday okay? I'll be here before you wake up. How's that?" She asked, smiling sweetly at the little girl.

"Yey! Usagi's coming over!" Sasami giggled, and Ryo-okie started to jump up and onto Usagi's head, and make herself comfortable there. Usagi giggled at the cabbit.

Tenchi decided to speak for the first time, just so he could hear her beautiful voice again. "Then you can stay here tonight, then we'll take you to look for a place tomorrow." He suggested.

Usagi looked at him, and smiled at him, a smile that made his heart flutter. "I'd like that."

"Then it's settled then, you'll stay here tonight, then we'll all go to look for some jobs and apartments tomorrow. Now, let's get to sleep. I'm exhausted." Nobiyuki said, yawning.

That night Usagi slept in Ayeka and Sasami's room, dreaming about what they were going to do tomorrow, and what sort of adventures they would have while she was here.

*****
