"YAHOEY!!" Mike fell down the stairs. By the time he got to the end of the steps he looked up to see Ryoko.

"There's no escape, just handed over." She said smiling.

"No! You can't take my money!" Mike exclaimed.

"Wanna bet?" She smirked. She disappeared and reappeared in front of him. But he wouldn't let go of his money.

"Let go!!"

"I need this money!!" Suddenly Ryoko let go of Mike's wallet. Mike flew to the wall.

"Yiye!" He shouted. He opened his eyes to see Ryoko in pain as her 'mother' was pulling her by the ear.

"Oh come on mom!" Washu had looked a little ticked.

"I told you once, and I'll tell you again. Stop chasing around my test subject." Ryoko nodded quickly as Washu let her go.

"Why you...if you weren't my mother I'd-"

"Dinners ready!" Sasami called Mike stood up and walked tiredly to the dinner table where his new and old friends were.

"It's about time, Sasami is gonna give us soup!" Arthur exclaimed in delight. Mike shook his head and cross-legged at the table. The food was passed out and everyone dug in. It took some time but Mike mastered the ways of the chopstick. So did Luigi and Larry....Arthur on the other hand managed to forge a fork out of some wood. After a good meal and two women fighting over a certain guy, Mike walked over to the DeLorean which was set up outside. He crawled under it and started tinkering. About a half an hour later he crawls out, he climbs into the driver seat. He tries to start the engine but it doesn't. But when he tried a second time the engine started to vibrate.

"Yahoo!" He exclaimed in joy. Then suddenly there was an explosion near the muffler. Mike ran over to the rear of the DeLorean. He saw that the muffler blew off. He walked back to the driver's seat and let his head hit the steering wheel

Larry glared at Sasami as Sasami glared back. They were both making food at an alarming rate. Sasami chopped up some celery and stuffed it into a bowl full of vegetables. Larry's right hand took the form of a knife and he then started to chop tomatoes in little designs. Ryo-Ohki yawned and stretched as the two competitive cooks fought their vicious battle.

Mike had just finished attaching the muffler back into the DeLorean. He wiped his hands on his dirty uniform. Instead of being red, white and blue, it was red, white, black and blue. He sighed in relief that the work was over for the moment. He then realized something. Washu hadn't called him for testing, it was the first time in three weeks. He decided that after he got into a new uniform that he'd go see her.

"Little Washu?" Mike called. Her room was pretty big. He closed the door behind him. He walked a few steps when he noticed that Washu wasn't typing in her computer. Mike panicked. She always did research. He ran all over the place. Finally he figured that she wasn't in there so he figured maybe somewhere in the house. Well after a good hour of searching, Mike came to the conclusion that she wasn't in there. He then stopped running.

'Wait a second, why am I so worried? Washu is like a billion years old. She seems like a grown woman, I think she can take of herself.' Mike thought. He then heard a familiar voice scream.

"Great scott!! That's Washu!!" He exclaimed he then ran outside. He grabbed his helmet and took out a remote control. He pressed a button on it and out of nowhere a cannon popped out. He lit the fuse and climbed.

"Oh man this is gonna hurt!!" He exclaimed as the cannon fired in a loud blast. He was flying very quickly and he was headed straight for a tree.

"Maybe I should have aimed fir-YIYE!!!" Mike crashed into the tree in full impact. Suddenly the tree started to fall.

"This just isn't my day. YOW!!" He screamed as the tree crashed to the ground. He twitched a few times before coming to. He looked to see Washu sitting on the ground looking at him.

"Well your up." She replied helping the now crippled officer.

"Oh, are you alright?" He asked groggily. Washu nodded.

"You must have heard me scream, I was just seeing how high my voice could go." With that Mike fell to the floor.

"That's it?? You weren't in danger!? You weren't getting murdered, mugged or abused?!" He asked. Washu shook her head. Then suddenly a sly look crawled on her face.

"...You thought I was in trouble didn't you?" She asked. Mike blinked a few times realizing what he just said.

"Who me? Nah, I just, was.....I was seeing if you were okay, you know...my duty as leader." He explained plainly. Washu winked at him.

"Okay, don't worry." She walked to the Masaki household. "I now know that you'll come to my rescue if I'm in danger." She replied. Mike sighed taking his dented helmet off.



"Dinner is served!!" Larry and Sasami exclaimed. Glaring at each other a few times. Everyone were munching on food that was a mix of American hotdogs to Japanese soup. After dinner everyone loved it all. Mike now was into all kinds of new foods thanks to Sasami. He got up and thanked Sasami for a great lunch. He walked to the front door, put on his shoes and walked over to the DeLorean. It seems as though someone was already inside.

"Whee! This is fun!" Mike ran over to the open door of the driver's seat. He saw Mihoshi playing in the driver's seat.

"Mihoshi stop I don't know if it works, be careful I just filled Mr. Fusion!" Mihoshi didn't hear him, the engine suddenly turned on. Mike gulped and put on his helmet. He jumped into the DeLorean landing on Mihoshi.

"Oh you wanna come alaong to? Oh hey, we're actually moving!" Mihoshi exclaimed happily.

"Yiye hiye!! We're going down a hill!!" Mike exclaimed scrambling to get into the driver's seat with no avail. The DeLorean reached 88 as it's lights started to wail and blue lights swirled around it. In a flash all that was left were fire tacks and the license plate.
