Note: I dont own any of these characters, so if any bigwigs at Pioneer are reading, please have mercy on me!! Tenchi Muyo(TM) is the property of Pioneer entertainment, and all properties relating to Tenchi Muyo are rightfully theirs. Enough o' this, on with the show!! David J. Thompson proudly presents: "And now for something completely stupid" Ch. 1: "Stupid is as stupid does" *************************************** It was a dark and stormy night, well maybe not that stormy, but it was damn dark. All alone in the domain of man, the sanctum sanctorum, a solitary figure sat at a desk mercilessly typing away. "Ah yes, this is just what this fic needs, a healthy dose of self insertion, and some really bad puns!" said the lone human. "But I seem to have no real meaning for this to happen, plot twist time!!". All the while he was drooling over his keyboard, he didn't notice and odd blue glow emanating from his mirror at the back of the room. Back in the Techiverse: "Damn!! This thing never works!!" said a certain red haired super-scientist whom we all know and love. "Maybe, if I calibrate the tachyon field and add some bipolar energy to the mix..." Her words were cut short as a large explosion ripped through lil' Washus' dimensional sub-space lab (TM). Washu stood there, now a very blackened red haired super-scientist whom we all know and love, cursing like a drunken sailor. Back in the real world, Dave continually typed away (I guess I should've introduced him earlier). Ever so slowly, the blue glow immersed him and tightened. Dave gave a sharp cry that was cut off by his lack of air. Never before had he felt so close to death than at that moment. The blue glow drug him toward the mirror (The ONLY way to get into alternate dimensions) and was brought fully into the mirror. A darkness enveloped him. He had a sensation of falling, falling, falling. "Now I hope this works" said Washu as she typed some buttons on her translucent keyboard. The falling continued until Dave lost consciousness. His last thought was, "Crap, now I'll never finish my fanfic!" **************************************** Washu grinned as bolts of energy crackled over the examination table. The energy assumed the form of a falling person (I wonder who). Dave landed with a CRASH. He felt the clang of cold steel on his body as he fell onto the table. Gradually, he re-assumed consciousness. He finally came to, and immediately was overcome with a massive headache. "ARGH!!! DAMN!!" He said, clutching his head. Gradually, the pain faded and he began to get his bearings. He was in a large room, with many large tubes that seemed to stretch into eternity. Many gadgets both interesting and undefinable came into view. And in the midst of all this machinery, there was a small woman standing in the shadows, with an evil little smirk on her face. Suddenly, a spotlight from nowhere appears over her. The woman lifted her head up and laughed. The woman began speaking quickly in Japanese. But Dave (Being an American) could only pick out a few words here and there. In response he stated "Sumimasen, wakarimasen" (Sorry, I dont understand). The woman seemed a little annoyed at this and quickly brought up her translucent keyboard. "Wait a minute, translucent keyboard?" thought Dave. "This is beginning to seem to seem familiar." Suddenly, there was a small blip sound and the woman looked up and said, "Better for you?" "Oh yes, domo" said Dave as he wondered why this place looked so familiar. Without warning, the revelation came to his head. "TENCHI MUYO!!" he shouted, startling the woman. " I'm in the Masaki household!!" Washu, though, couldn't understand what he was talking about. Dave, realizing what he had just said, quickly regained his composure. "Oh, very sorry Washu" said Dave. This startled her even more "How did he know my name?" thought Washu. "Very well" she said, "You've come a long way just to intrude upon my lab, you have 5 seconds to explain yourself" "What if I don't want to?" Dave said coldly. "Then I will skin you alive, cut off all your arms and legs, subject to you countless hours of sexual torture, then I will KILL you" Washu replied. Dave stammered "Well, before you do, could you at least let me pay my respects to Tenchi and Ryoko and the others?" Washu became incredibly suspicious. "Because I feel I have some sort of purpose in coming here" "Oh yes? And what purpose would that be?" Washu said. Dave thought quickly, "Umm, my purpose here is to give you that 'Sample' you've wanted for so long!" "Oh really?" Washu said slyly. "And what if I told you that you weren't the correct specimen?" Dave was trapped. "Umm, I'D USE MY GODLIKE POWERS ON YOU!!" "Godlike powers eh? Heh heh, prove it." Now Dave was really trapped. "Uhh, for one thing, I know that your name is Washu" "That has been shown" Said Washu, clearly not impressed. "Ok, uh, I know the names of the occupants of this house: Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka, Sasami, Noboyuki, Katsuhito (Yosho in the OVA version), Ryo-o..." "Huh?" Said Washu, interrupting his listing. "What the heckaroo is an OVA?" Washu really had his balls in a blender now. He had to think of something fast. He had to think of something that Washu wouldn't detect as a lie. Something she wouldn't suspect. Something like... "Uh, I dunno. Do you know?" Washu just stared at him with a blank face. "I must discover what this 'OVA' is" She said as Washu sped towards her computers. Breathing a sigh of relief, Dave quietly crept of the table and through the dimensional sub-space door, careful to close it as quiety as possible. I hope you're enjoying this right now, cuz I had a lot of fun making it. Stay tuned for Ch. 2, "Dare to be stupid"!! Oyasumi Nasai!
