Hello everyone!

	Longtime lurker, first time poster Scott Pollert here with a little something
that popped into my head today. Hope you enjoy it!

	Btw, I've been lurking here since um... March (ack! has it been that long)
and figured it was about time I said hello. I love reading all the fics
here, yes, all
of them. So, if no one objects, you'll probably be seeing more posts from me
in the form of C&C here soon, hopefully. I'm not much of a writer, but I do
like to
read and I have plenty of comments.

	Well, that's all for now, on with the show!

Scott

Surprise!
A Tenchi Muyo Fan-Fic
by Scott Pollert
11/13/1997

	"Yum, that smells delicious Sasami!"

	Sasami smiled cheerfully as she put the food onto the table. "Thanks,
Mihoshi! I hope I made enough, I wasn't expecting this many people tonight!"
Indeed, Sasami's worries seemed justified since the whole crew was present.
Tenchi, Ayeka, Ryoko, Wasshu, Sasami, Mihoshi, even Tenchi's father and
grandfather all sat around the table waiting to eat.

	"Don't worry, Sasami," Tenchi reassured the pig-tailed girl. "I'm sure we'll
have enough."

	"That assumes the old mummy doesn't eat it all," murmured Ayeka.

	"What did you say, Princess!?" yelled Ryoko. "And who are you calling
old, anyway? How many *centuries* have you been around?"

	"Time spent in cryosleep doesn't count," Ayeka replied in an embarrassed,
clipped tone. "Besides, I wasn't the one who let herself be turned into a
mummy 
for seven centuries."

	Mihoshi's giggle interrupted before the argument could proceed any further.
"I guess I'm the baby in the bunch, aren't I?"

	"How old are you, Mihoshi?" Tenchi asked.

	"I'm 42 Rillian years old!"

	Washu's eyes bugged out and she sprayed the water she was drinking 
across the table. "Whaaaat!? That's only 6.5 Earth years old!"

	As everyone collectively face-faulted, Mihoshi was heard to exclaim,
"Grandfather always said I was mature for my age!"

THE END
