Author's Note

Oh, boy. I had written Change twice before I felt I was happy with it, until I realized that the original was just fine, but needed some editing. I owe a big debt of gratitude for those of you who reviewed the first Change. After re-reading your reviews, I realized that I didn't need to change it grossly to make it better. Sure, I'll have to write a seperate story about Washu and Ryoko, but hey, more fun for me!

I realize that some people think that T/R and T/A fics have little imagination, but It was like one of my reviewrs said, that Tenchi/Washu or Tenchi/Mihoshi are pretty far-fetched outcomes. I tried to make this story more unique in my own way, and I'm sorry if you think I failed.

Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to write sequals. With any luck, there will be some on the way, whether I turn this into a larger story arc, or just continue with life at the Masaki house, I hope you all stick around and see what I have in store. I'm sorry for my large lapses in writing, but unfortunately, some of my other interests get in the way until I suddenly look into my Tenchi archive on my computer or suddenly decide I feel like watching the OVA again. Please bear with me.

Anyway, Change was originally going to be a Tenchi/Washu fic, but I realized that if I was going to make a larger story arc out of it, it would be a little hard with that outcome. Writing Ayeka was hard for me. She's the only Tenchi girl I really don't care for, but I did my best in this (hopefully :) ) final version of Change to apease the Ayeka fans. I realized it wouldn't do to have her act like a bitch, because that's simply not the way she is :) I hope I got her right this time.

I think a big thanks goes to poetry-freak for the review I got on my last version of Change. Thanks for helping me realize that I got Ayeka wrong yet again. I hope this one works better.

Anyway, please be kind enough to review. As you can probably tell, I've been working very hard to improve this fic, and your input is valued. Please tell me what you like and what you don't like, and of course, what I can improve on. Tenchi is the show I really want to master writing stories for, and I know that everyone here can help me with that :)

Thanks for bearing with me. Feel free to e-mail me if you have reviews or suggestions, or ideas for future stories you'd like to see me write. You can just click on my name to check out my profile. I've got my e-mail addy and IM info there.
