Chapter 5 / Part 1
Everyone is asleep in the Masaki house, except 4 people. Washu, Ryoko, Kiyone, and Mihoshi. One of these people snuck into Washu's lab and heard something they weren't supposed to hear, but who was it?
"Kiyone!! Kiyone, wake up! Wake up!!!" Mihoshi whispered into the sleeping space cops ear.
"*groan*. what is it Mihoshi?" Kiyone says as she sits up on her futon, and then hits her head on Mihoshi's. "Ouch! Mihoshi, move!"
"Sorry Kiyone, are you ok?" Kiyone opens her eyes to see that Mihoshi is still dressed in her normal clothes, and her cheeks are all red.
"Yeah, whatever. Where have you been and what have you been doing?" Mihoshi's eyes get really big, then she scrunches up her eyebrows, like she's thinking real hard about something.
"Ugh. um. oh yeah. that. um." Mihoshi starts crying.
"Mihoshi, what is wrong, what were you doing?!" Kiyone touches Mihoshi's face and wipes away her tears.
"I DON'T REMEMBER.. WWWAAAAAHHHH!!" Mihoshi is bawling now, and getting it all over Kiyone and her futon.
"Mihoshi, be quiet, your gonna wake up the whole entire house! It's ok, maybe you will remember later, ok? Just calm down, it's no big deal." Kiyone tried to wipe her bed with the sleeve of her pajamas, but it just makes it worse.
"But Kiyone, it WAS important, I just can't remember. It was really good too! Ugh!!" Mihoshi starts hitting her head on the railing of Kiyone's futon. "I *bang* can't believe *bang* that I'm so *bang*. BLONDE *bang bang bang*"
"Mihoshi!! Stop it! Now, just lay down here, you'll remember in the morning!" But Kiyone didn't even need to say anything. Mihoshi was out like a light already. with a huge bump on her forehead.

"Ryoko, I really do need your help. You and Tenchi seem to talk about things that you don't want everyone to know about, you know, personal stuff. Maybe you could get out of him why he is acting weird, and find out everything you can about these dreams that he has been having. Could you do that for me, Ryoko?" Washu looks deep into her daughters eyes, only to find concern, and love.
"Yes Ryoko, I will do anything I can to get Tenchi back to the way that he was." Ryoko got up. "Washu, I'm gonna go to bed. See you in the morning." She was just about ready to teleport when Washu said something.
"Ryoko, I'm really sorry about what you heard in the lab tonight. It's just because of the sake stuff." Ryoko interrupted her.
"I heard what in the lab? I have been up here on the roof most of the night. Washu, was someone in the lab with you?" Washu got huge eyes, she wasn't breathing.
"You are telling me that you didn't sneak into the lab about 20 min. ago? You weren't downstairs?!" Washu got up and started pacing around on the Masaki house roof.
"Mother, yes, that is what I am saying. Maybe it was just Ryo-Ohki.? I mean, she could have shimmied the door open. maybe."

"Good Morning Washu-san! Sasami has saved a plate of breakfast for you. You looked so tired, I decided to let you sleep in a while. I hope that's ok with you." Tenchi said looking down at the sleeping goddess on her huge waterbed.
"Oh, thank you Tenchi. I had a long night last night." Washu sat up in bed and rubbed the sleep from her eyes, and tried to tame down her wild magenta hair. "Tenchi, did you have that dream last night, you know, the one that you told me about before?"
"Actually, I didn't. This was the first time since the party that I haven't! Maybe it was something that you did!" Tenchi looked like an excited little kid that just found his tonka truck that he had lost.
"Yes, I think so. I still have a lot of research to do today. I think that if I reverse the effect on the. whatever it is, from the sake, that if I use the exact amount of, whatever, that I could bring you back into your normal self again. This could be very dangerous also, because if I use too much of the reverse, you could go turn into a raging mad man. So, I will need to be alone most of the day, so please go tell everyone. I'm not hungry for breakfast."
"Ok Washu, good luck with everything," Tenchi said as he was walking out to the door of the lab.
"Thanks Tenchi. I will call you in through Ryoko when I am ready, alright?"
"Ok, bye." Tenchi walked out the door. He walked down the hall to the kitchen. He saw Sasami doing the dishes from breakfast.
"Hey Sasami-san. Would you happen to know where Ryoko went to?"
"Oh hey Master Tenchi! She went out to the garden with Ryo-Ohki, I think just to relax. Is everything all right with her? She's been acting kind of strange lately."
"Oh, I think she will be ok, I mean, she is Ryoko. She'll get over whatever it is, but I think I need to go out there and talk to her about it." Tenchi patted Sasami on the head and walked out the patio door. He took a nice quiet walk through the garden when she found Ryoko lying on the park bench with Ryo-Ohki lying on the chest.
"Hey there Ryoko. Sorry to bother you, but I really felt that we needed to talk."
"Yeah, we do," the beautiful cyan haired space pirate said as she took sleeping Ryo-Ohki off her chest and set him on the end of the bench. She sat up, and put her hands through her hair. "What is up with you and my mother, I mean Tenchi, are you feeling alright?"
Tenchi went over and took a seat on the bench right next to Ryoko. "Yes Ryoko, I'm feeling fine, it's just. has Washu told you what she found in the sake that night of the party?"
"Yeah, she told me. So you don't really feel that way for her, do you? It's just the stuff from the sake. right?" Ryoko got those really big eyes and pouted her bottom lip.
"Of course Ryoko. The only one I feel that way about is you." Tenchi said as he leaned in to Ryoko and gave her a gentle kiss. As he pulled back, he opened his eyes to see that Ryoko looked so surprised, but then her face softened out into a pleasant, happy look.
"Thank you Tenchi. Your really great." Ryoko got up from the bench, went over to pick up Ryo-Ohki, and then teleported away, leaving Tenchi sitting on the bench, in a daze.
*Little After Note* Hey all you readers! I know you hate to be left like this, but I felt like I needed to split this chapter up into two parts, just to make it more interesting, and for me to have more time to figure out exactly how I am going to do the next chapter. So don't lose faith in the story, it's getting good! Thanks and please review!!!! *Minako*
