Hey howdy hey, it's been awhile, hasn't it? This chapter will hopefully be better than the last ones and hopefully a lot longer. My brain has been frozen for the last bit of 2004 we had after I up-dated my stories so I hope that this one is better than the rest. When you're done please leave a review so I know how you liked it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Tenchi Muyo, AIC/Pioneer does, not me.

That day after everything settled down after Ryoko went balistic, the house next door to the Masaki Residence was empty, as if no one had lived there for years, as if, the Hakubi's were erased from existence. That was eight years ago, when Tenchi still lived at home, when he was just a little eight year old boy without a care in the world, until Ryoko came into his life...

Tenchi jerked up out of bed, drenched in sweat from the dream that had been haunting him since he had moved out of his father's house, now it all seemed like a dream, a distant memory.

Tenchi shakily got out of bed, got some clothes out of his dresser and started for the bathroom for a shower before he went to pick up his girlfriend for school. When Tenchi got to the living room he paused and looked out the window next to the door, outside he saw four kids around the age of eight walking together, laughing together and playing together like him and his friends used to, but there was a girl sulking about ten feet behind them, who Tenchi guessed was like Ryoko.

"Ryoko..."

Tenchi shook his head to get the thoughts out of it, focusing his view on the bathroom door he slowly made his way to it before he actually started seeing things.

Tenchi closed the bathroom door behind him, he pulled his shirt off over his head and tossed onto the floor, he made his way to the tub and turned the handle for the shower. Tenchi put his hand under the shower faucet and slowly started turning the handle trying to get the right temparature.

After Tenchi got the right temparature he got into the shower with a towel wrapped firmly around his waist, he started thinking about his past again.

"Man, those were the days." Tenchi thought to himself. "I wonder what would have happened if Ayeka and Kiyone didn't move away..."

A year after the Hakubi's dissapeared Ayeka moved to the city, she said that her parents wanted to move because the schools in the city are better than out in a small town in the country. They still write letters to each other occasionally, telling everyone how things are going, and they all even get together for some quality time with old friends sometimes.

When Kiyone was fifteen she said she wanted to be a police officer, so she went to a police academy to learn the ways of the police. Everyone thought being a police officer is the perfect job for Kiyone, she's a hard worker, smart and never gives up when things are looking down. They still see each other time to time on weekends and holidays.

Tenchi was shocked out of his thoughts when the water suddenly turned freezing cold, he turned off the shower and hurriedly got dressed. Tenchi walked into the living room and looked at the clock on the wall, 7:15.

"Crap, I'm going to be late!" Tenchi cried as he grabbed the car keys and ran out the door.

Tenchi arrived ten minutes later at his girlfriends house, as he slowly drove up to the side of the house he saw the blond ditz waiting on the sidewalk for him.

"Hey Mihoshi, sorry I'm late." Tenchi said as Mihoshi hopped into the car.

"It's alright, Tenchi, I was late getting out too." Mihoshi responded.

Tenchi drove off towards his and Mihoshi's high school and arrived there in five minutes, just in time to see all the teenagers shuffling into the school. Tenchi and Mihoshi ran to there classroom right when the teacher, Miss Orikasa, sat down at her desk. They both went and sat down at there desks next to each other.

"Now class, we are going to have a little pop quiz today, so I hope you finished reading Romeo and Juliet like you were assigned to." Loud groans were heard through out the class when Miss Orikasa mentioned a pop quiz.

After school Tenchi and Mihoshi were driving to the clothing store to get a dress for Mihoshi for the prom on Saturday, Tenchi was thinking that she already has enough dresses but always has to have a new one everytime they go out somewhere.

Tenchi pulled up into the parking lot and turned off the engine and got out of the car than walked up to Mihoshi.

"Well, shall we go now?" Tenchi said with a grin.

"Well, I guess so but I don't even know why we came here." Mihoshi responded stupidly.

"Um, well Mihoshi, you wanted to come and get a dress for the prom this week, didn't you?"

"I guess so but I think I already have enough."

"Well, lets just go in and see what we can find, I'm sure there will be something you like." Tenchi said.

Inside the clothing store after trying on countless numbers of dresses Mihoshi spotted a beautiful bright blue kimono with white designs on it, she ran up to it and held it up to Tenchi's face for him to get a good look.

"I want this one, Tenchi!" She said exitedly.

"I guess so, it would look really nice on you, why don't you go try it on?" Tenchi suggested.

"Okay, I'll be right back." Mihoshi said as she ran over to the dressing room.

"Mihoshi, wait, thats the mens dressing room!" Tenchi shouted out to her, blushing furiously while getting a few curious people to stare at him.

"It is?" Mihoshi looked up to the wall beside the door that clearly read out 'MENS DRESSING ROOM', "Oh." She started walking to the womens room.

Tenchi started shaking his head and chuckling to himself. He started walking around the store waiting for Mihoshi to return from the dressing room, he suddenly stopped and someone bumped into him, knocking him off balance.

When Tenchi recovered his balance he looked behind him, it was a girl that bumped into him, sprawled out onto the floor. She got up quickly and apoligized to Tenchi repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry, wasn't watching where I was going, I'm so clumsy, I'm sorry." The lady said.

"I-it's alright." Was all the could say.

Tenchi started getting a good look at her, she was a little bit taller than him, with cat-like features and beautiful golden eyes, her face was the most beautiful on a girl he had ever seen, and her hair, Tenchi gasped, she had wild cyan hair, just like Ryoko.

Boo'ya, baby! Finally, short chapter but at least I up-dated, and incase you're wondering why Tenchi has his drivers license when he's sixteen, I don't really know, heh, and he's already moved out of his home? Ha, what a laugh, I didn't even thinl about that until now, shows how smart I am. Anyway, I hope ou liked it and next chapter will probably take awhile to write so don't get any crazy ideas about me up-dating this thing real soon. Well, leave a review before siging out, heh heh.
