(The morning light reflects off the window in the small room in the apartment.  The two people
currently in the room play no attention to the light that disturbs their sleep.  Mihoshi, who has just
came in from work, walks in the front door.  As she talks she walks around the apartment messing
with this and that.)

Mihoshi: I'm home.  Sorry I was gone last night but work called and I had to leave.  Ryoko, don't
forget with have that brunch at the café with Kiyone.  Tenchi will be there too so you know that
means Ayeka will be there too.  I swear that women. . . 

(Mihoshi walks into Ryoko's room where her and Chris ly.  Mihoshi is froze in the doorway at the
sight of the two in bed together.  Ryoko doesn't notice her.  She rest her head on his chest and
wraps her arms around his waist holding him close to her.)

Ryoko: Chris, just what happened last night?  How come we lost control of ourselves again.

Chris: I don't know.  But I did mean everything I said Ryoko.  

(For the first time Chris notices Mihoshi standing in the doorway.)

Ryoko: Well after all that I guess that means me and you are a couple.  Only question is, a couple
of what?

(Ryoko laughs at her little joke but soon notices that Chris isn't laughing too.  She gets a puzzled
look on her face.  Chris indicates the doorway.  Ryoko turns her head to see what's the matter. 
She stops in mid motion as her eyes lay contact on Mihoshi.  They eyes meet and they just stare at
each other.  Ryoko caught in her new relationship and Mihoshi with the embarrassment of
catching the two in the act.)

Ryoko: Now I can explain Mihoshi.  You see I was showing Chris around today and we was tired
so we came back here to rest.  Well. . . somehow our cloths must have fell off and we was cold so
we crawled into the bed.  That's all.

Chris: I don't think she is going to believe a story like that Ryoko.  I think we're caught.  

Mihoshi: I think I'll just call up the café and change the reservations to a booth for six.

(Mihoshi leaves the room allowing Ryoko and Chris to crawl out of bed and get their cloths. 
Minutes later they join Mihoshi at the table.  No one says anything or even makes a sound. 
Finally Ryoko breaks the silence.)

Ryoko: Mihoshi, look I'm sorry you had to walk in on us like that.  I'm sure that's not the first
thing you want to see when you come home.  Let's just forget what happened and go meet
Kiyone.  

(Rather than saying anything, Mihoshi just grabs her coat and heads out.  Chris and Ryoko follow
her.  The drive there is silent.  Outside the café, Kiyone waits for them.  They pull up and meet up
with Kiyone in the front.  They head inside and take their seat.  Kiyone, Mihoshi, Ryoko, and
Chris on the other end.  The waitress brings them their tea.  The group talks as they sip away at
their tea.)

Kiyone: I remember you.  You was at the bar that one night wasn't you.  What are you doing
here?

Chris: Oh me?  Well I'm new to the area and Ryoko is just showing me around for now.  I'm on a
two month vacation.  

(They continue talking among themselves until Tenchi and Ayeka show up.  Kiyone turns and
notices Ayeka for the first time.  She jumps out of the booth shocked.  The whole group is
surprised by this.)

Kiyone: Princess Ayeka!  What are you doing here!

(Other people in the café turn and see what's making all the disturbance.  The group hurries
outside to avoid causing anymore trouble.)

Kiyone: Princess Ayeka, I was sent from Galaxy Police weeks ago to find you.  I'm so glad I can
now leave this dust ball and return.  My ship is ready to depart.

Ayeka: Well I do not wish to go.  I'm happy here.  I'm taking a vacation from my royal duties.  

Kiyone: What?  You can't do that.  I was ordered to take you back!

Ayeka: Then looks like you'll have to stay on this dust ball for a little longer.

Mihoshi: I didn't know you was from the Galaxy Police.  I'm from there too.  Only I was ordered
to arrest Ryoko.  Course my ship wrecked and we was left here with no other way to leave.  I
sent a message and Ayeka found it but she and Ryoko got into a fight and soon all of us was left
here.

Kiyone: You mean you're the space pirate Ryoko!?

Ryoko: I thought you knew.  What?  

(Kiyone pulls out here blaster and ID card.  Everyone jumps back at the sight of the blaster.)

Kiyone: As an officer of the Galaxy Police I was the right to place you under arrest.  You have
the right to remain silent.  Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Ryoko: Yeah I have something to say.  You aren't taking my ass in!

(Ryoko jumps into the air to avoid Kiyone.  The clever detective pulls a yo-yo from her pocket
and slings it, catching Ryoko's foot.  She pulls her down to the ground.  Ryoko only
dematerializes away and comes up away from Kiyone.  Kiyone fires a blast at Ryoko.  The blast
hits a wall in front of Ryoko temporarily stuns her.  Before Kiyone can fire another blast though,
her blast is cut into pieces by Chris' metallic claws.  Everyone is surprised by this new shown
power of Chris.  Kiyone doesn't know what to do.)

Kiyone: Do not interfere in official police business.  If you chose to do so, I will be forced to
arrest you also under grounds of interfering and obstruction of justice. 

Chris: You are not taking Ryoko in.  I'm not going to repeat myself twice either.

(Kiyone takes a step back.  She almost slips and falls back over a steel pipe.  Kiyone kicks it up
with her back foot and swings it at Chris.  Chris doesn't move.  The steel pipe hits him in the side
of the head.  Chris' head is turned from impact and blood starts to run down the side of his face. 
Chris remains standing though.  Kiyone looks at the pipe to see it bent where it hit Chris' head. 
She drops the pipe.)

Tenchi: Now we are just going to say that you was just doing your job and leave it at that.  Just as
long as everyone here can keep their cool.  Can we have that happen?

Chris: Sure Tenchi.  I was just leaving anyways.

(Ryoko floats down to check on Chris.  He walks off without her down the back street alley. 
Ryoko just follows him.  Chris just lets the blood run down his face.  He doesn't even bother to
check the wound.  He turns around the corner and collapses into the garbage cans.  Ryoko rushes
to his side.)

Ryoko: *laughing* Had to show off again didn't you?  Looks like she caught you pretty good
too.

Chris: I didn't expect her to be so strong.  It was my mistake and I payed for it.  Look I'll be ok. 
Just go back and join the others.  I'll just walk back to my hotel room.

Ryoko: Now what type of girlfriend would I be if I did that?  You just saved me from being
arrested and took a pipe to the side of the head.  I'm not just going to leave you here to bleed to
death.

(Chris is taken by Ryoko calling herself his girlfriend.  Their relationship now sets in on Chris.  He
tries to stand up but falls back down.  Seconds later Tenchi finds them and helps Chris up.  He
and Ryoko manage to take him back to his hotel just a few blocks away.  They lay him on the
couch with bandages wrapped around his head.  Chris falls asleep on the couch.)

Ryoko: So how did you manage to escape the grasp of Ayeka?

Tenchi: Ayeka isn't as bad as you think.  Sure she's with me when I go out a lot but that doesn't
mean she's always at my side.  Her and her sister Sasami has been a big help around the house. 
Sasami is a wonderful cook.  Ayeka does her fair share of the house and yard work.  

Ryoko: Oh?  But that house is so small.  How do you fit all those people in it?

Tenchi: Ayeka and Sasami share the guest room.  It's that bad really.  But I'm really glad you and
Mihoshi decided to get your own place to live.  Not that I wouldn't mind you both around the
house, it's just I really respect your choose.

Ryoko: Well I knew me and Ayeka couldn't live under the same roof without blowing something
up.

Tenchi: Like when Ayeka first showed up and you two got into a fight and ended up blowing up
her ship.  I still can't believe that happened. *Tenchi looks over to Chris on the couch* So what
about this Chris?  I'm still in shock that he took that steel pipe to the head without falling.

Ryoko: I can't believe he let her hit him.  I've fought Chris and he easily could have blocked it. 
He's much faster then that.  

Tenchi: You fought him?  When was this?

Ryoko: After the UWO show.  We went to a bar and one thing led to another and me and him
was out in an open field outside the city.  Chris is amazingly strong.  He can change his physical
appearance to gain more strength.  His hair went gold and his eyes turned blue.  Did you know he
has a tail?

Tenchi: How did the fight end?

(Ryoko blushes at the question.  Should she tell Tenchi the truth of what happened?  Should she
tell the guy she has been chasing for months that she not only kissed another man but made love
to him?)

Ryoko: Well I wasn't going to tell you this.  But since Mihoshi knows what happened, then it
won't be a secret for long.  It's better that you hear it from me anyways.  The fight ended when
me and Chris started kissing.  

Tenchi: What?  How did that happen.  I'm not like I'm jealous or anything it's just. . . well what
do you mean kissed?

Ryoko: I don't know.  It just happened.  We was locked up and face to face.  Then it just
happened.  Neither of us though about it.  It was just one of those things that just happened.  We
haven't been able to seem to keep our hands to ourselves when we are together.  I don't know
what it is with me.  When ever I'm with him, I can't control myself.  With you, I know what I'm
doing.  But around Chris.  It just happens without thinking.  

Tenchi: Could it be that the space pirate Ryoko has finally found true love?  The one man that can
tame her wild soul?

Ryoko: Cut it out Tenchi.  I don't know what it is.  But I don't plan to just up and let him leave
my life until I figure out what is it.

Tenchi: Has he told you how he feels let?

Ryoko: He did say he loves me.  But that was after sex so I'm not sure if that was just so he
wouldn't get thrown out of the bed or if he meant it.

Tenchi: Sex?!  You two already had sex!

Ryoko: Well we were alone at my apartment and we couldn't keep our hands off each other.  We
tried but one thing led to another and we was on the bed naked.  Even that I don't remember how
it happened.  

(Tenchi's head just drops and falls on the table.  Ryoko looks at him concerned.  Her expression
soon changes to confusion as she hears Tenchi laughing.)

Ryoko: What?  What's so funny?

Tenchi: A super powered wrestler and the famous space pirate.  It's kinda funny to think about. 
Look I better be getting back home before everyone starts to worry.

(Tenchi gets up and heads for the door.  Before he can reach for the doorknob Ryoko grabs his
arm to stop him.)

Ryoko: Tenchi can you please not tell anyone about me and Chris.  We want to keep it a secret
until we know what we want.

Tenchi: Ok Ryoko.  My lips are sealed.

(Tenchi leaves Ryoko and Chris alone in his hotel room.  Ryoko turns back and looks at Chris
asleep on the couch.  She walks over to him and picks him up.  She carries Chris to his bed and
lays him down.  After tucking him in, she walks back to the door to leave.  She looks back once
more at Chris laying there peacefully.  She walks back over and kisses him on the forehead. 
Ryoko turns out the lights as she leaves.)
