"Tenchi," Kazuhiko rubbed his stomach, "Just pick a damn place so we can eat!"

Ryoko grabbed Tenchi's arm, "Yeah, come on lover boy, let's go!" She said as she dragged him into a small pizza place located in the corner of the mall.

"Sit down!" The waiter pushed them to a seat. "Order now!" He threw menus at them.

"Jeez, picky, picky. Whatever happened to good waiters?" Tenchi picked up the menu.

"I said 'Order now'!" The waiter yelled in his ear.

"What the hell?" Ryoko raised an eyebrow to the waiter, "Who hired you? Do you even work here anymore, or do you just come around here 'cause you've been fired and can't take it?"

The waiter looked around quickly and ran out the door. "That. was.. Different," Kazuhiko tilted his head to the side. "I'm kinda disturbed right. now."

They deiced to order a large cheese pizza and split it.

*After Uh . . . They Ate*

Ryoko sighed and grabbed Tenchi's arm as they walked down the mall looking at shops and people strolling by. Tenchi's two friends drooled over the girls.

A man walked up in front of them, "You two make a great couple, you know? Much better than others always was fighting, you know? You guys must have been together a long time, you know?"

Ryoko smiled, "Thank you!"

Tenchi's eye twitched, "Do you say 'you know' at the end of every sentence?"

"Didn't mean to piss you off, you know? I was telling you how good you two look, you know? I'll be going, you know?"

"I think he just saw Fushgi Yugi . . ." Ryoko stared at the man walking away from them. "Yeah . . . I think we should-go shopping now," she pulled Tenchi into a store.

*After Uh . . . Shopping! * (A/N: Sorry I skipped the whole mall thing, it seemed boring to me.) "DEMON!" Ayeka screamed when she saw Tenchi and Ryoko walking up to the house. Ryoko hanging onto him like no tomorrow. Tenchi blushed and scratched the back of his head.

"LET GO OF LORD TENCHI! YOU MONSTER!" Ayeka stomped up to her. Ryoko blinked few times. "I SAID LET GO!" Ayeka slapped Ryoko leaving a red mark printed on her face.

Ryoko dropped Tenchi's arm and touched her burning cheek. "What the hell princess? You didn't come at me this morning when I left!" Ryoko snapped.

"You bitch!" Ayeka smacked Ryoko's other side.

"Ayeka," Tenchi motioned to calm her down.

Ryoko smirked, "That's all you got princess?" A fang pierced her bottom lip. Ayeka stared at her, not moving. "If that's all, I'm leaving. This time, I won't stoop to your level and hit back. Life's too short." Ryoko teleported away leaving both a dumbfounded Tenchi and Ayeka.



Sasami turned her head to the familiar chime of Ryoko's phasing. "Hello Ryoko, did you have a good time at the mall?"

"Yeah, a great time," she replied not too convincing.

"Uh . . . Ryoko, why's you face all red? And in the shape of a hand . . . print. Nevermind," Sasami sighed. Ryo-Oki meowed for a carrot. Ryoko picked one up and threw it onto the kitchen floor. She ran to pick it up.

"I shouldn't let it get to me," Ryoko sighed, "She is a princess. What am I? An ex-space pirate. Nothing more, nothing less, and defiantly, nothing special."

"That's not true!" Sasami protested. Washu walked in and grabbed an apple biting into it.

"Don't leave me out of your pity-party," she chimed in.

Again Ryoko sighed, "It's just . . . Tenchi will be going off to college soon, and I've been waiting for him all these years, so long I lost count. Even if he picks someone besides me, I promised myself a long time ago, I'd be happy for him. But . . . I don't know what I do."

Sasami chopped up celery and put it into the boiling pot. Ryoko walked to the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of Sake. "Hand me a cup," Washu asked. She too felt these feelings too, but she wanted her daughter to be happy. And what made her happy was Tenchi, so them getting a little hook-up action was out of the question. She just liked to use him as a guinea pig anyway!

Ryoko poured to glasses and handed one to Washu. "Tenchi's going to make it big," Ryoko smiled, "A big famous artist. But . . . I'm afraid I won't be in his life long enough to see him smile with pure happiness. I don't know what I'll do if he doesn't love me. He's really all I got, but he's all I want."

Sasami chopped up carrots and put it in the pot moving onto the tomatoes. "But Ayeka has people to come back to," Sasami threw a small piece of carrot that didn't make it into the pot to Ryo-Oki. "She has a ton of people there wanting her hand and mother and father are always there too."

Ryoko finished off her second glass and hit it down on the table. "I can't get drunk this early in a day. Why does alcohol help? Isn't it a depressant?" Ryoko stood up and washed out her glass.

"Little Ryoko, maybe you should tell Tenchi what you are thinking," Washu suggested.

"Screw that," she walked out to the living room. "It's getting late, and I'm tired. I'm going to bed."

Tenchi walked in the main entrance with Ayeka on his heels. "What did that demon do to you?"

"She didn't do anything Ayeka! We just went to the mall with my friends!"

"How come you didn't take me? I am the proper princess after all! Your friends could drool over me and you could have your way with me!"

"AH! WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

Ayeka blushed and put her hand to her mouth, "Oh, nothing," she gave him a wink.

Tenchi shivered. "Uh-huh . . . I'm going to bed right now." Tenchi ran up the staircase. Ryoko laughed as she watched the scene befall before her eyes at the top of the stairs. Tenchi turned his head to Ryoko. "I'm . . . Sorry I didn't try to stop Ayeka when she hit you. Goodnight."

Ryoko blinked as Tenchi descended into his well-kept room. "Tenchi." She said barely above a whisper.

A/N: HEY! Crappy ending, huh? LOL. Sorry I can't right good love scenes. I get so embarrassed. I'm glad you guys liked it, and I think I finally know where I'm going with this. But with me, you can't be too sure. Well, R&R for me please, I'll be your best friend!
