During Gym class

Everyone was sitting on the ground listening to the coach.

"Alright, I want you to run twenty laps then do a hundred push-ups and a hundred pull-ups, understand?" Gym Teacher.

Everyone grumbles a yes except Ayeka.

"Go" Gym Teacher.

While running second lap

"Hey Ayeka, Are you all right, you've been acting a bit weird today and you haven't even talked as much," Tenchi says right beside her.

Ayeka just nods her head and goes faster. `I'm avoiding the monster woman and her lover, that's what I'm doing you dumb jerk' Ayeka.

Everyone finishes what the gym teacher had said to do and got some water, Ayeka was still quiet.

"Hey Ayeka, why so quiet?" Ryoko a little worried `something has to be wrong with her, she hasn't even reacted to me flirting with Tenchi sure we fight a lot but she is family still and she knows she can tell me anything'.

Ayeka hears Ryoko's thought and smiles.

"Its nothing Ryoko, I just like being quiet for some reason, I like listening to winds and animals talk," Ayeka FINALLY talks.

"Well bout time you talk" Ryoko.

Ayeka giggles. "Well if we don't get back on the field coach will have us running for the whole day, even worse for the whole year" Ayeka.

"Yeah ok, lets go," Ryoko.

Ayeka and Ryoko walk back to the field and sits down soon as everyone comes back.

During Lunch time

"So did you get her to talk yet" Tenchi.

"Yeah, she says she just likes being quiet now," Ryoko.

"Um, k." Tenchi.

Ayeka and friends of Tenchi walk over to them with their lunch, Ayeka listening to their whole conversation.

After school walking through the forest to home

"So how was your day Sasami?" Tenchi.

Oh, it was great, I made lots of friends, one of them is named Misao, she's a really great friend, she helped me out on everything I had trouble on, its so fun, hey Tenchi can Misao sleep over please?" Sasami.

"Sure, I'm glad you had fun, um we're going out to eat tomorrow though so if she's staying over she'll have to come over around 5:30, k?" Tenchi.

"Ok, thanks Tenchi" Sasami.

"Your friend any fun?" Ryoko.

"Yeah, hey Ayeka, why are you so quiet?" Sasami.

"Don't bother, she for some reason likes being quiet now" Ryoko whispers in Sasami's ear.

"Oh, ok" Sasami.
