Disclaimer: I said it once but if you make me say it again, I'll go on a rampage! Fine, I don't own Tenchi Muyo!

Ryoko sighed as she knocked on the broom closet. Correction-Washu's Lab. Washu told her daughter to met her in her laboratory around twelve, and it was time. She said to bring the test.

Great . . . Here she was-the greatest space pirate in the galaxy-taking a test to get her into an earth college. "Come in," she heard from inside the door. She calmly took in a breath and turned the knob.

"Hello little Ryoko, please have a seat. We'll get started on that test right away!" Washu motioned for her to a seat with a desk attached. Like a normal high school desk. Ryoko sat down and put the papers and her pencil on the table. Washu was still in her adult form.

"Good, get started. I'll stay here, raise your hand if you have a question, and I'll watch you just incase you try to cheat."

"Uh . . .Washu-"

"What?"

She sighed, "Mom. First off . . .I don't want to go to college,"-she sounds like many children-"And second . . . there's nobody to cheat with."

"Hush! Do your work!" She snapped back and took the comfy seat behind a large desk.

Ryoko gnawed on her pencil nervously. "Alright," she whispered, "I can do this . . . I wonder if they give points for getting my name right?"

She neatly printed her name on the sheet. The eraser fell off and into her mouth, she gagged and it landed on the floor. "Shh!" Her own mother hissed at her. Ryoko growled and took out another pencil.

Question 1: Mike likes 144 but not 143; he likes 121 but not 122; he likes 100 but not 101. Which does he like? A. 90000 B. 100000

What? All right, take an educated guess. 90000, seems good . . . Right?

Question 2: If two mice can eat two crackers in two minutes, how many mice will it take to eat 18 crackers in six minutes?

A. 3 B. 4 C.6 D.12 E. 36

Uh . . . What's the point of this? I don't want mice eating my food!

It went on like this. Question after question, half not worth anyone's time. Ryoko snapped her pencil when she noticed she got an answer wrong as she quickly erased it. "Damn it, damn it, damn it," she muttered over and over again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tenchi smiled as he sat on the mountainside gazing at its beauty. Ryoko was taking the test now, he hoped she passed. But still . . . he could hear Ayeka's reaction in his head. He has to stop thinking about this and draw.

Yet . . . he couldn't.

Maybe it would be fun . . . Not to mention he would know someone he was going to college with. Most of his friends where going to other schools, but he wanted to go here since he was a kid.

Not where his dad went, not where his grandfather wanted him to go, where HE wanted to go. No place else would do.

Tenchi sighed and scribbled on the piece of paper. It's been so many years since the girls came to him, and still, he hasn't told them who he loves, or if he even loves them. Which he was sure was not true.

He was more than positive he loved someone he was currently boarding with. If anyone just heard that sentence they'd thought he was crazy. He growled and snapped a pencil. Jesus, why couldn't he draw? It's been a long time since he drew something worth keeping.

Oh well, he'd get that inspiration, he knew it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ayeka hissed, "Damn Ryoko! She has no brains to get into this college! I hope she fails!" Ayeka chewed on her chopstick. It wasn't that she didn't like Ryoko, she actually got along with her before. It's just . . . she loved Tenchi. But in her heart she truly knew whom he loved, and she couldn't change that, but hell, she tried.

Sasami sighed, "Sister, that's not polite. I know you care for Ryoko, and hope she passes."

"LIES!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Washu looked at her daughter who was gnawing on a pencil so hard one of her fangs snapped threw it. She smiled weakly. She was trying so hard, it even impressed Washu. She didn't even pay attention to Ayeka when she yelled . . . Something about a lie?

Honestly, Washu wouldn't force Ryoko to go to college. She just wanted her daughter to spend more time with the man she loved . . . without a few other girls hanging on him. College would be a challenge for Ryoko, and Washu was interested to see if she could handle it . . . Or just stay in her dorm the whole year.

Washu looked back to the book she was reading. Nothing special, "The World As I See It" by Albert Einstein. It was rather interesting for something she bought off the Internet. She wasn't all too surprised that most of his views where the same as her ideas.

Nope, didn't surprise her at all. But she found it amusing that no one understood what he meant when he said, "E=MC2."

It's quite obvious, isn't it? Matter can be converted into energy, and energy unto matter. Einstein's theory thus far has never been disproven, but to Earthlings, it is becoming questionable.

Washu placed a bookmark on the page she stopped at. Her eyes where getting weary of reading. "Little Ryoko, are you almost done?"

"Uh . . . yeah, I have two more questions left."

"Good, pencils down."

"WHAT?"

"Pencils down."

"IT WAS A TIMED TEST?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tenchi just opened the door of the house to be greeted by Ryoko's last saying. "That . . . doesn't sound good."

Ayeka turned her head to Tenchi, "It's been like this all day," she said with a sigh.
