PART TWO:  IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

     Tenchi woke up and looked over at the calendar on his wall.  It was
December 
the 22nd.  He sat up in bed stretching and noticed that snow was coming down 
outside his window, a lot of snow.  He got out of bed and went to the window.  
It had been snowing for some time because the ground was now solid white and a 
thick layer of the powder covered the roof completely.
    Tenchi left his room and did his wake up routine in the bathroom then
headed 
down stairs.  He made his way down the hall to the kitchen and poured himself a 
bowl of cereal then sat down to watch the snow falling outside.  He knew
then it 
was going to be one of the best Christmases ever.  He smiled and took a bite of 
his cereal and nearly gagged on it as someone grabbed on to him from behind,
giving 
him a big crushing hug.
     "Morning Tenchi." Ryoko purred into his ear.
     Tenchi pounded on his chest to make the cereal go down.  It finally did
and he 
began to cough.
     "Be careful would you!?" Tenchi shouted through coughs.
     "I’m sorry." She said, laying her head on his back, rubbing his
shoulders.  This 
tenderness made Tenchi swallow a lump in his throat and he coughed again.
     "It’s.. umm.. snowing." Tenchi managed to say.
     "It’s very pretty." Ryoko said, pressing herself against Tenchi’s back.
He 
gulped again as he felt her chest pressing into him.  He tried to take
another bite 
of his cereal, the spoon shuddering in his grip.  He managed to finally get
it into 
his mouth.  When he went for another spoonful he was unable to as Ryoko had
started 
rubbing against him.
     "Ryoko…  I am trying to… eat." Tenchi stuttered, finally getting a
spoon full of 
cereal.
     "I just want to give you an early Christmas present, Tenchi.  Myself."
She said, 
hugging him tighter.
     Tenchi had just put the spoon full of cereal in his mouth when she said
that.  That 
cereal became airborne as he spit it out in surprise.  He began to cough again.
     "Everyone’s asleep Tenchi." She whispered softly to him.
     Ryoko winked out then reappeared, straddling Tenchi’s lap.  She put her
hands on 
his chest and smiled down at him.  He looked like a frighten rabbit in the
headlights of 
an oncoming car.  He knew he was doomed when Ryoko brought out a piece of
Mistletoe.
     "I did some reading up on this Christmas thing.  You know what this is
Tenchi?" she 
smiled, dangling the plant.
     He nodded quickly and watch it as she raised it above their heads.
Ryoko smiled 
and Tenchi gulped.  She leaned forward slowly and Tenchi’s head retreated
back some.  
Ryoko stopped halfway there when she saw this and frowned.
     "Am I really that awful Tenchi?" she whispered, her lips now an inch
from his.
     Tenchi slowly shook his head and whispered, "No."
     Ryoko closed her eyes, tilted her head and went the remaining distance
to his lips, 
giving him a soft warm kiss.  Tenchi’s eyes were wide open and he felt like
his heart 
was trying to escape his chest.  She started to deepen the kiss and Tenchi’s
eyes closed 
involuntarily and he found his arms wrapping around her back.  And finally,
after almost 
a year, he kissed her back.
     Ryoko’s hands started unfastening the buttons on Tenchi’s shirt but she
only got to 
button number three when the pitter patter of foot steps alerted her.  She
grumbled and 
vanished.  A second later Aeka entered the kitchen yawning.
     "Hello Lord Tenchi." She said.  Tenchi yelped, his eyes snapping wide
open.  He spun 
around and accidentally knocked his bowl of cereal to the floor.  The bowl
shattered 
releasing a flood of milk and round cereal puffs.
     "Oh my!  Did I startle you Tenchi!?  I’m sorry!" she said, grabbing a
handful of 
paper towels from a roll hanging over the sink.
     Tenchi laughed nervously.  "No! No!  I was just a little clumsy."  He
said, kneeling 
down to pick up the bowl fragments.  Aeka started sopping up the milk with
the towels.  
Tenchi took the broken bowel and dumped it into the compactor then returned
to help Aeka 
clean up the rest of the mess.
     "Let me clean it up Aeka.  I made the mess." Tenchi said, picking up
cereal balls.
     "It’s no trouble at all." She smiled at him.
     A short time later the mess was cleaned up.
     "You didn’t get to finish your breakfast.  I’ll make you something
better than that 
cereal." Aeka smiled, turning to open the pantry.
     "No!  I mean, that’s okay.  I have to take a shower and shovel the snow
off the walk 
way first anyway."
     "Okay." Aeka smiled.
     Tenchi sighed in relief silently then headed up stairs to shower.

     It was cold outside but it was not windy which made it comfortable.
Tenchi whistled 
a tune as he shoveled snow from the walkway.  He was halfway done and it had
only taken an 
hour.  Thankfully, the snow had stopped coming down so the path he had
shoveled was not 
being recovered.  He stopped a moment, leaning on the snow shovel and looked
over at 
Sasami and Aeka building a snow man.  Ryo-oh-ki was helping too, rolling
snow balls up to 
the them.  He could not see Ryoko anywhere.  He had wondered where she
disappeared to 
since the kitchen incident.  <Boy that was close.> he thought.  He replayed
the kiss in 
his mind and a smile crept on to his face.
     Aeka stuck a branch into the side of the middle giant snow ball that
formed the 
snowman’s chest giving it an arm.
     "Isn’t this fun Aeka!?" Sasami smiled, placing three lumps of coal on
it’s chest.
     "Yes.  It is actually.  Our snowman is turning out really well." Aeka
smiled back, 
picking up the other branch they had selected for the left arm.  She started
to place the 
branch when a snowball impacted on the back of her head with enough force to
snap her head 
forward.  Her face embedded into the side of the snowman.  She detached
herself from it 
then spun around.  Ryoko was standing ten feet away dressed in her red and
black striped 
combat outfit, a pouch hanging at her waist, full of snowballs.
     "Ryoko!  How dare you strike me!"
     "Revenge is a dish best served cold Aeka.  Snowballs are VERY cold!"
she said chunking 
another.  Aeka brought up a shield and the snowball disintegrated on it.
     "Kamadaki! Azaka!  To my side!" Aeka growled.
     Two floating logs with a round gems imbedded near their tops appeared
to either side 
of Aeka.  Each log was properly marked with it’s name just below the gem.
     "We are here Princess Aeka!" Azaka said.
     "What is your wish?" Kamadaki said.
     "SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!" Sasami shouted out, tossing a snowball and striking
Azaka right in 
the gem.
     "Sasami!  Not you too!" Aeka was shocked.  "This is childish behavior!"
     Sasami was already creating another snowball.  "But I am a child!" she
grinned.
     "Look what you have done Ryoko!  You’ve corrupted my little sister!
Kamadaki!  Attack 
Ryoko!"
     "Yes ma’am!" the log said.  A dozen snowballs formed and floated up
next to it.  Ryoko 
eeped as all the snowballs were hurtled at her!  She rolled and flipped
through the air but 
one caught her square in the chest.
     "YOW! YOW!  That’s cold!" Ryoko shouted.
     She landed back on the ground with the gracefulness of a cat.  She
crouched down.  "So 
you want to play rough princess?  I can oblige!"
     Ryoko began to laugh evilly and a snowball three feet in diameter began
to form before 
her.  Aeka turned to flee, screaming in panic.  Ryoko’s laughing became even
more sinister 
and she let the snowball rip!
     "Don’t fear Princess Aeka!  I will save you!" Kamadaki said, moving
into the path of the 
snowball.  As the giant white ball of destruction bared down a sweat drop
appeared on the log.  
"This was not such a good idea." It said in a calm voice.  The snowball
plowed into Kamadaki 
burying him.  Ryoko flew past cackling, chunking snowball after snowball at
Aeka, landing 
solid hits all over the princess.
     Tenchi chuckled and returned to shoveling the walk.

     She had lost track of Aeka.  Ryoko cautiously approached the tool shed,
a snowball 
in each hand.  She looked for tracks in the snow but there were none.  Aeka
had left a 
clear trail up until this point.  Ryoko eyed the woods, from side to side,
then looked 
back at the shed.
     "Come out!  Come out!  Where ever you are princess.  I have your
Christmas present 
right here." She grinned evilly.
     Ryoko stealthily made her way up to the shed and pressed against the
wall.  She slid 
down the wall not making a sound and peered around the corner.  No Aeka.
     "Revenge is mine Ryoko!!!" came a loud shout from behind.
     Ryoko spun around and Aeka was standing there with a stake mallet in
her hand.  She 
was ready to swing it and did, slamming the mallet into the wall of the
shed.  There was 
a low rumble and Ryoko looked up in time to see all the snow that had
collected on the 
roof of the shed come crashing down on her.  Aeka took confident steps up to
the Ryoko 
snowman and laughed sadistically.  
     "That will teach you to trifle with me!" she said, still laughing loudly.
     The snow around Ryoko began to melt, steam rising off the surface.
Soon her enraged 
face emerged.
     "I’m going to get you for this Aeka!  I swear it!"
     "Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!" she laughed as she ran off.
     Ryoko finally melted all the snow away from her and glared after the
retreating Aeka.  
Ryoko shouted out in anger and fired a shock wave at the ground.  A large
snowball formed 
and started rolling down the hill.  As it did it got bigger and bigger,
rolling faster and 
faster.
     Aeka skipped along happily in her victory.  When she heard a rumbling
she stopped and 
looked around then she looked behind her and screamed.  A snowball twice as
big as her was 
rolling down the hill at a high rate of speed.  She took off running, the
snowball on her 
heels.  She summoned up some hidden strength and started to outrun the
rolling white ball 
but then she tripped, falling face first into the deep snow.  She turned
over on her back 
and screamed out as the ball reached her.  Her scream was muffled as it
swallowed her whole.  
It continued on down the hill.
     Ryoko smiled and held up her fingers in a victory pose.  "Strike!" she
shouted happily.

     Tenchi and Sasami had gotten into their own snowball fight, Ryo-oh-ki
cheering on 
Sasami and making new snowballs for her.  They stopped when they heard a
rumbling sound 
from the woods.
     "Wonder what that is." Sasami said.
     "It’s not good whatever it is." Tenchi said.
     A huge snowball rolled out of the woods at a blazing speed.  Tenchi,
Sasami and Ryo-oh-ki 
yelped as it did, noting they were in it’s path.  They split off in
different directions 
avoiding it narrowly.  The snowman they had built was not so lucky.  It
became one with the 
snow boulder.
     Kamadaki finally dug itself out of the snow and turned around at the
rumbling sound.  
"Oh no." it said calmly again.  The snowball enveloped him and continued on
finally smashing 
into the side of the house.  It fell apart and it’s two occupants fell out,
stunned.  Aeka’s 
face was blue, her teeth chattering.  Tenchi and Sasami ran up to her.
     "Are you okay Aeka?" Tenchi asked, helping her out of the snowy prison.
     "I think I’ve had enough snow for the day." She chattered.
     "Let’s get you inside and warmed up." Tenchi said, helping her along.
     Ryoko came out of the woods, dusting her hands together, a big smile on
her face.  
That smile faded when she saw Tenchi had his arm around Aeka.  She pouted.
"It’s not fair." 
She said and sat down in the snow, kicking it.  "This sucks."

     Aeka sat on the couch, wrapped in blankets, sipping a hot cup of cider.
Tenchi sat 
next to her with his own cup, Sasami on the other side.
     "Feeling better?" Tenchi asked.
     Aeka sneezed and nodded.  "Much" she said with a stuffy nose.  "Curse
that Ryoko!  Now 
I’m going to be sick when the party happens."  She sneezed again.
     "Just keep warm.  You’ll be okay.  I’ll go see if Washuu has some super
cold medicine 
or something." Tenchi said, getting up.
     He knocked on the yellow door under the stairs and waited.  The door
opened a moment 
later.  "Enter." A voice said from within.
     Tenchi stepped through and instead of ending up in a closet he was
standing in a huge 
room full of computers and other technological junk.  In the center of the
maze of blinking 
lights and humming sounds was Washuu, sitting in her floating chair, typing
away on her 
holoputer.  She turned around in her chair and hopped out before Tenchi,
smiling.
     "What can I do for you Tenchi?" she said.
     "Ryoko buried Aeka in snow and now she’s getting a cold.  We’re having
a Christmas party 
in a couple of days and I don’t want her to get sick.  Do you have something
to give her?" 
Tenchi asked nervously.
     "From genius scientist to plain old nurse.  I think I can whip
something up." She said, 
hoping back into her chair.  She spun back around and started typing on the
keypad.  "So what’s 
this about a party?  Why wasn’t I invited?  Hmmmm!?"
     "You are!  You are!  I just haven’t had time to tell you." Tenchi
laughed nervously.
     "Great!  Then I’ll be there!  We exchanging gifts?"
     "Yes." Tenchi said.
     With a few more keystrokes a black portal opened up in the air and a
bottle fell out of 
it.  Washuu snatched it up then lept back in front of Tenchi.  "Here you go.
Follow the 
directions on the label and she should be fine by tomorrow.  Now, if you’ll
excuse me.  I 
have a lot of work to finish up here before the party."
     Washuu pushed Tenchi toward the door which swung open on it’s own.  She
then shoved him 
out.  The door slammed back shut behind him.  <She’s pushier than usual
today.> Tenchi 
thought and shrugged.
     "Here you go Aeka.  Washuu made this for you.  It should make you
better by tomorrow."
     "Thank you Lord Tenchi.  That was very sweet of you." Aeka said,
finishing the sentence 
with a sneeze.  "I think I’ll take some and then go take a nap."
     "All right." he said.

     Tenchi walked down the hall and stopped when he heard sneezing and
coughing coming from 
Ryoko’s room.  He hesitated then knocked lightly on the door.  The door
opened and Tenchi 
stuck his head in.
     "Ryoko?"
     She laid in her bed, wrapped in a mound of blankets.
     "Hi Tenchi." She coughed.
     "What’s wrong with you?"
     "Aeka buried me in snow up on the hill.  I think I’m getting sick."
     She sneezed and groaned.
     "Oh."
     <I guess they got each other.> he thought.  He had been angry with
Ryoko for what she 
had done to Aeka but it looked like they got each other.  His anger dissolved.
     "Washuu made some cold medicine.  I’ll get you some.  Wait right here."
     Tenchi returned a few minutes later with the bottle.  He read the label
carefully then 
fed Ryoko the prescribed amount of doses.
     "YUCK!  This stuff tastes like dirt!" she grumbled.
     "Well it’s suppose to make you feel better." Tenchi said.
     Ryoko laid down staring at the ceiling.
     "It’s getting kind of warm in here." She said.  She wiggled out of the
covers and laid 
back down on top of them.  She was wearing her low cut brightly colored
shirt she normally 
wore, the pink sash tied snuggle to her slim waist.  "It’s really getting
warm in here.  I 
feel funny."
     "What do you mean?  It’s comfortable to me." Tenchi said.
     Ryoko rubbed her forehead and then valley between her breasts.  She
pulled her shirt open, 
showing a dangerous amount of skin.  Tenchi turned bright red and looked away.
     "I am burning up." She said in a voice that sounded really sexy to Tenchi.
     Tenchi then felt a very soft pair of something on his back, unclothed
somethings.  Ryoko’s 
arms wrapped around him and she kissed the back of his neck.
     "Tenchi.  Make love to me." Ryoko said between kisses.
     Tenchi lept to his feet and spun around.  Mistake.  Ryoko’s shirt hung
around the sash, her 
perfect breasts freely displayed.  Tenchi’s nose started to bleed and he
quickly pinched it.
     "I think I’ll be going now." Tenchi said, making his way quickly for
the door which slammed 
in his face.  Ryoko slid in front of the door.
     "Tenchi." Ryoko flung herself around him, rubbing her chest on his.  "I
can’t help it.  I 
need you right now."
     "Ryoko!  Stop it!  You’re really freaking me out here!"
     A hand on Tenchi’s crotch made him leap back.  He stumbled over a foot
stool and landed on 
his butt, looking up at Ryoko.  She undid her sash and tossed her shirt off
completely.  Next 
she pulled her skirt off.  Underneath were a pair of black laced panties
which rode high on her 
shapely hips.
     "RYOKO!" Tenchi scrambled back against the wall, looking at the label
on the bottle still 
in his hand.  His eye caught the very fine small print which said,
"Absolutely do NOT give any 
of this to Ryoko.  You have been warned."
     Tenchi suddenly found his face buried between Ryoko’s breasts.
     "Oh Tenchi!  You’re so aggressive!  I like that!  Take me now!  I am
your love slave!"
     Tenchi somehow managed to scramble out of her grasp and got back up to
his feet.  She 
stood back up and turned around smiling seductively.
     "Going to make me beg are you?  How mean." She mock pouted.
     "Ryoko!  Try to get a grip on yourself."
     "I’d rather get a grip on you.  Come here." She wiggled a finger.
     Tenchi shook his head.  Ryoko wiggled her finger.  Tenchi shook his
head.  Ryoko wiggled 
her finger.  Tenchi shook his head again then made a break for the door.
Ryoko tackled him 
to the bed, straddling him.  She literally tore his shirt open and started
placing kisses on 
his chest.
     "STOP IT!  Ryoko!  Come on!  Knock it off!  HELP!"
     Tenchi struggled but Ryoko firmly held his wrists down on the bed, her
super strength 
over powering him.  She kissed up his chest to his neck then his chin then
gazed into his eyes.
     "I’m going to take us both to heaven." She whispered.  Tenchi gulped.
     "Think it over Ryoko.  This is not you.  We can’t do this."
     "Are you afraid of losing your virginity Tenchi?" she said kissing his
cheek, rubbing her 
breasts along his bare chest.  Tenchi turned red and he focused all his
concentration on keeping 
in control of his body.  He was losing the battle.  Her nipples brushing
along his chest was 
starting to excite him to the point of breakdown and then she suddenly
stopped and blinked at 
him.
     "What the hell am I doing?"
     "Good!  The medicine wore off!" Tenchi smiled and sighed in relief.
     "That’s one hell of an aphrodisiac!  Well," she smiled.  "While I have
you here!  Might as 
well do it."
     "Ryoko!"
     "Oh, okay!" she grumbled and hoped off.  "Hey.  That stuff did cure my
cold.  I feel great!" 
she said gathering up her clothes.  She turned back and smiled at Tenchi
then that smile widen 
when she saw the bulge in his pants.  "We’ll at least I know I can get some
kind of reaction 
out of you."
     Tenchi lept up and laughed nervously, trying to hide his excitement.
He turned and ran out 
of the room as fast as he could.  Ryoko chuckled and closed the door.

     Tenchi laid in his bed staring blankly at the ceiling.  That feeling
was coming to him 
again as it always did this time of year.  The feeling of being alone.  But
he should not have 
been feeling  like that this year.  He had a house full of pretty girls now.
He knew that Aeka 
and Ryoko liked him.  Ryoko was fanatical about it.  Aeka, she was shy, just
like he was but 
sometimes could be just as blatantly open about her feelings without even
knowing it.
     Tenchi rolled on to his side and stared at a framed picture on his
night stand.  Aeka was 
to his left, Ryoko to his right, Sasami was making rabbit ears behind Tenchi
while Ryo-oh-ki 
stood on Sasami’s head, captured in a cute meow.  In front of him sitting
down a few steps was 
Washuu, Mihoshi and Kiyone.  Everyone looked so happy in that photo.  Tenchi
smiled and sat up, 
picking up the picture.
     He stared at it quietly for a moment.  "Any miny mighty moe…" Tenchi
said, touching a 
finger to each girl in turn.  He ended up pointing to Mihoshi at the end of
his little song 
and he chuckled.
     Mihoshi.  Very pretty, insanely cute.  Sweet and innocent.  Off setting
these fine assets 
was extreme accident proneness and missing brain cells.  She was a very nice
girl but not his 
type.
     Kiyone.  Of all the girls she was the sanest.  Tenchi chuckled at that
thought.  But, she 
was a professional business woman, older than Tenchi.  Those facts and the
fact that she showed 
no interest in him marked her off the list of girlfriends.
     Washuu.  Cute as a button but off the wall insane.  That’s all Tenchi
had to think about 
that.  He went to the next girl in the photo.
     Aeka.  Sweet, almost innocent.  Very pretty but her temper was
incredibly short fused 
and she had a nasty mean streak.  But her eagerness to help and the fact she
was a princess made 
her a very tempting choice non-the-less.  Tenchi knew she was in love with
him so why couldn’t 
he return that love?  He moved on, not wanting to try and answer that question.
     Sasami.  She was cute but way to young.  When she grew up she would be
very beautiful.  She 
could cook up a storm too.  She would make someone very happy.  Tenchi
smiled and moved to Ryoko.
     Ryoko.  Uninhabited, a tease, show off and gorgeous but out of control,
reckless and also 
with a short fuse.  She didn’t hide her feelings toward Tenchi.  She wanted
to practically jump 
him any chance she got.  That kind of straightforwardness scared Tenchi.  He
should have been 
use to it.  His dad had preached straightforwardness to him most of his
life.  She was the 
hardest to think about.  Especially after today.  That is the closest he had
ever been to her 
and the way he reacted to her touch made him think.
     "Afraid of losing your virginity Tenchi?" echoed in his mind just then.
     He replayed the scenario in his head but gave it a different outcome.
He sighed and rolled 
back on his back and proceeded to stare at the ceiling once more.  He
reached over and shut the 
light off and snuggled into his pillow.

     Washuu typed away on her console and watched as her automated robots
went about their task 
of building the machine.  The status report showed that her invention was
80% complete, at 
least the hardware portion.  She was still working on the software portion
and would be on 
it all night and all of the next day.  It was going to be the perfect gift
though.  Nothing 
would match it, ever.  Washuu smiled happily and took a large gulp of her drink.
     "I am so good I scare myself sometimes." She said.
     "You’re so perfect Washuu!" Puppet A said.
     "You’re number one!"  Puppet B added to the cheer.
