Chapter 1
"We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin. Tenchi Masaki has absolutely no love life. I repeat… Tenchi has no love life… we will now return you to you regularly scheduled program…"
"Tenchi… Tenchi! Hey! Oh great sleeping one!"
Tenchi slowly opens his eyes to find Ryoko and Sasami standing over him. Ryoko looks pretty pissed. Oh great, Tenchi thinks, I probably slept in again.
"Tenchi, this is the third time this week that Sasami and I have had to come in here and wake you up! I swear there is something wrong with you!"
"Yeah Tenchi, are you feeling alright? Do you want me to go downstairs to get you something? Tea, coffee, anything?" Tenchi looks over at the little blue haired, pigtailed girl. She looks worried, Tenchi sees.
"Yes, please, just some tea would be nice." Tenchi slowly starts to sit up in bed as Sasami runs out the door and down the stairs. Ouch, my head is killing me, he thinks. Tenchi groans as he sits himself up, and leans against the wall.
"Hey, are you feeling okay? You seem to be in a lot of pain." The sun was coming through Tenchi's window and was hitting Ryoko's beautiful cyan hair at just that right angle.
"My head… it feels like someone just hit me over the head with a bat or something… I don't know why." I have had that dream before, he thinks, many times. Maybe it's a sign that I should get out more. Tenchi laughs quietly under his breath to himself. Washu and Sasami come walking into Tenchi's room. Washu's bright pink hair is up like it usually is, but for some reason it looks very unusually pretty today…
"Here you are, Master Tenchi. It's still very hot, I just made it myself!" Sasami looks very proud of herself. Tenchi laughs and takes the tea.
"Thank you Sasami." Tenchi blows on his tea and takes a tiny sip.
"Now Tenchi," Washu says, "I have heard that you aren't feeling good. Is this true?" Tenchi looks over at Washu. Good old Washu, he thinks, she is probably going to have to do some tests or something… wow, she looks absolutely beautiful today. Tenchi feels this rush of… something. All of a sudden Tenchi feels this weird feeling that he has never experienced before.
"Tenchi, that is one look your giving Washu", Ryoko says. Tenchi's cheeks turn red, and he looks down at his tea again, and starts to blow on it. That was really weird, he thinks.
"Now Ryoko, give the man a break. He has just woken up, and isn't feeling well. His sight has probably been impaired… or something along those lines…" Washu looks out the window, trying to break eye contact with Ryoko.
"Anyway, I would wish to take Master Tenchi down to my lab to try to figure out what is wrong with him. We can't have an ill one in the house, now can we?" Washu looks at Ryoko, then Sasami, then back at Tenchi. There was a long silence, then Ryoko broke it.
"Yeah, I agree with Washu. Let's take Tenchi down to your lab. Maybe we can find out what is wrong with him." Ryoko starts to get up off the floor and help Tenchi out of bed. Tenchi handed his tea over to Sasami. Washu grabbed one of Tenchi's arms and Ryoko grabbed the other. Tenchi stands up and walks off his bed.
"Let me try to walk down the stairs by myself. I know I can do it." Tenchi grabs Washu and Ryoko's hands and takes them off of him. He takes about five steps, then balance's himself against the wall.
"Well, forget that idea. Ryoko, could you help me down the stairs?"
"Yeah, sure Tenchi!" Ryoko walks over to Tenchi, picks him up, and carries him down the stairs.
"Ryoko!! What are you doing?!? Put me down!" Tenchi tries to fight out of the space pirates grip, but she won't let go of him.
"Ryoko! Put him down right now!" Ayeka screams at the bottom of the stairs. Ayeka, Mihoshi and Kiyone are sitting at the table downstairs having their breakfast. Ryo-Ohki and Ken-Ohki are sitting around a little bowl full of carrots. Ryoko glares at Ayeka then gently puts Tenchi down at the bottom of the stairs. Washu comes down after Ryoko, and Ayeka runs over the Tenchi.
"Master Tenchi, are you alright. You look a little pale in the face. Sasami said that you weren't feeling well, but I didn't want to go up and crowd you in your room… Oh Tenchi, are you going to be alright?" Ayeka's eyes get all big, and she looks like she is going to cry.
"Oh will you shut up Ayeka?! Tenchi is going to be fine, but you know Washu, she wants to test him for every disease in the book." Ayeka looks at Ryoko, then looks at Washu.
"Washu, will Tenchi be alright?"
"No need to worry, Princess Ayeka. I am sure that whatever Tenchi has, I will be able to cure it in no time. He will be able to go back to normal here real soon." Ayeka gives a big sigh in relief. Ryoko, Tenchi and Washu walk over to the door of Washu's lab. Tenchi let's go of Ryoko, leans on Washu, and they walk into the lab.
"Washu, I'll be checking in after a while to see how he is doing, alright?"
"Yes, that will be fine Ryoko." Tenchi and Washu walk in and Ryoko leaves. The door closes behind her.
"Okay Tenchi, lets start. You can go ahead and sit in that big chair over to your right, and I will be right back with some things." Washu walks away and Tenchi looks over and sees the chair. He goes and sits down. Wow, he thinks, this is really comfortable.
After about two minutes of waiting, Washu returns with some really odd looking objects. "Okay Tenchi, why don't you start by telling me if anything weird has been happening to you the past couple days."
"Oh, where to begin…"
"We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin. Tenchi Masaki has absolutely no love life. I repeat… Tenchi has no love life… we will now return you to you regularly scheduled program…"
