It's 22nd of August and outside the Masaki residence, all it's inhabitants are asleep. In the shadow of the house four figures are talking quietly. (dressed in robes covered with images of Ryoko)" Is that clear ? The aim of this mission is to give Ryoko one day and night to be alone with Tenchi in, what they do is not my concern, nor yours. Now repeat your tasks" "I am to take Ryo-ohki and Sasami away from the house and keep them occupied until the morning of the 24th." "I will take Mihoshi into Washuu's lab and do my utmost to make sure they don't leave until the day is over" "A large delivery of sake will be sent to the shrine, and I will proceed to encourage Yosho and Nobuyuki to get absolutly plastered, and thus be of no danger to our mission." "Good, I will trap Aeka with this ward.." (pulls out a piece of silk about 3 inches wide and 8 inches long, it's cyan hue just visible in the moonlight, it's golden runes glowing softly) " which due to my belief in Ryoko will keep her in a blissfull slumber throughout the day" "BLISSfull slumber ?" "I tried to make it a feverish sleep but she's too likely to wake up then, everybody ready ?" They all nod "O.K., move out and remember this is for Ryoko" The figures disperse to prepare for their appointed tasks. It's early morning, Sasami is just finishing making breakfast. And lunch. And dinner. This is because he is going on a picnic on Ryo-ohki with Pat-ohki, She leaves a note saying where she has gone and then leaves the house to where Ryo-ohki is waiting, with Pat on board. She is teleported up and Ryo-ohki flies off In the girls bedroom Ty Kalos is just sneaking ot of the door after placing the ward on A***'s face. *Good thing Mihoshi is too stupid to try to remove it* He thinks. Later on Mihoshi comes downstairs and notices no-one else is around. Then Replicant steps out of the shadows (shuddering slightly at the evil thing he must do) and says "May they've all gone into Washuu's lab to see a new invention". "Oooh, maybe you're right, let's go !", unfortunately she grabs Replicant's arm and drags him in with her. Washuu suddenly wakes up to multitude of alarms alerting her to Mihoshi's presence in the lab. Meanwhile a large van drives up to the Masaki gate and says "Hi, I'm Talouran, can you help get this up to Masaki Shrine?" And then the guardians say that famous phrase "Yes, sir !" It's about 20:00 and orbiting the Earth aboard Ryo-ohki ... "Don't worry they'll be fine, you left them enough food to last a week !" (worried)"I don't know, it's getting rather late, I still think we should go back" Pat goes into panic mode, trying to think of a way to keep Sasami away from the house Same time, different dimension, Washuu's lab .... (in a towering anger and probably causing more explosions than Mihoshi)"REPLICANT YOU TRAITOR, when I get my hands on you I'll [censored, but trust me it's a cruel thing] and then spit down the hole " Replicant has no choice but to run, being chased by Washuu and with Mihoshi following for lack of anything thing else to break, fiddle with or generally distract her tiny brain, towatds the exit. Same time, at Masaki Shrine, the sound of awful singing is interuppted by Yosho's voice saying ... (VERY drunkenly)"Why don't we go down to the house and get some of the really good sake to treat our friend here, Son-in-law ?" (EVEN more drunkenly)"Yes, why not" (seeing the plan started to fall apart)"No, really you shouldn't go to the trouble ... " "No trouble at all, just wait here" Talouran starts to shake nervously as the situation slips out of his hands Same time, the girl's bedroom, and the silk ward starts to smoulder at the edges and Aeka begins to stir .... It's the 24th and the sky grows dim as the sun prepares to set, in the ruins of the Masaki residence there are three groups of people. The first is the main Tenchi gang, Ryoko and Aeka arguing with each other and shouting at Mihoshi when she attempts to break it up, Washuu making her 'witty' comments and Tenchi looking resignedly at the whole scene while Sasami sleeps quietly under his arm. The second is Yosho and Nobuyuki, both drinking out of sake bottles and singing out of tune, rhythm, and synch. The resulting sound is so awful everybody's mind automatically blocks it out. The third group, out of sight from the others, is our beloved RFFC commandos, bruised and blackened, and rather dejected, (wearing male version of Ryoko's OVA 1 costume and playing with a cyan cube similar to Mihoshi's pink one)" I don't believe it, and just as it was going so WELL ! " "Don't blame me, it's your fault A*** woke up, I could have just told Sasami that Tenchi was having an early night if Aeka hadn't made such a scream when she came into Tenchi's room" (who has managed to escape from Y&N)"Have we found out what happened in there yet, the spy camera that I borrowed from Nobuyuki .."(slaps his hands over his mouth) The others glare at him (moves his hands away from his mouth)"erm ... was destroyed in the blast ?"(nervous smile) "Replicant, give me a hand will you ?" They proceed to turn Talouran upside down and shake him until all of is pouches are empty. "Lets see ... some silver bowls, a piece of expensive looking jewellery Juraian I believe, a photo of a green-haired woman sunbathing, what's this writing on the back ... 'Mihoshi, Glad you aren't here, hope we never meet again, Sincerely Kiyone', and a spy camera, can you explain this Talouran ?" "A plan to bring funds to the club ?" "Hmmm, I deal with you later, Pat, could you call Ryo-ohki over here for a moment ?" (come hopping along)"Miya ?" "Could you project the images stored on this tape, and DON'T tell Ryoko" Ryo-ohki cocks her head for a moment then takes the camera in her paws an concentrates. On an ethereal screen the RFFC members watch what happens, "That's a very interesting costume she wearing" "Yesss ..."(nosebleeds and faints) Sometime later and Talouran is half-conscious, Replicant is exerting inhuman control on his thoughts and Ty Kalos has taken half his body weight in sexual suppressants. Pat-Ohki no longer human, is eyeing Ryo-Ohki oddly, and edging towards her. "I don't believe it, she was this close, a couple more minutes and Tenchi would have realised his true feelings for her" "I think we better leave now, if she finds out it was our fault she failed it'll make Shin RFFC look like something rather minor" "Agreed, but first I must warn her about what I wrote on A***'s back"(throws a prepared paper airplane at Ryoko, who catches, reads and then surreptitiously threw it away, with a slight smirk on her face) "What did you write ?" "Tell you when we get back" The RFFCers go back to our own dimension. Later on in the baths.. (in pretended shock)"Why Aeka, I never knew you felt that way about me"(falls over laughing) The message was "I love Ryoko", the spy camera film is not available as Ryo-ohki ate it, and refuses to say why, when asked she merely say "Miya" (trans: No Comment without 1,000 carrots as a bribe)
