In space, a small pod flew heading straight for Earth. It was black and traveled unnoticed as it sped through. The only passenger inside was rechecking a rifle. The passenger crackled with mad laughter as the gun began charging. "My revenge is at hand," spoke the passenger. The pod was entering Earth's atmosphere.
Tenchi always found his evening walks relaxing. He would stroll around his family's grounds and reflect on the events of his life. It was the only ritual that his current "houseguests would give him without any interruptions. He was always trying to struggle for some personal space with them. They all wanted his attention, but there were many things he had to do during his days. Tenchi laughed at the thought that whenever he went off on some adventure, it was really a vacation from his busy routine. He treasured these walks. He would live in his dreams and let himself relax.
"Lord Tenchi," spoke a finely feminine voice. Tenchi turned around in surprise and saw Ayeka sitting by Yosho's Jurian tree. Tenchi looked around at his surroundings. He wandered around without thinking where he was going.
"Hello, Miss Ayeka. I was just lost in my thoughts I didn't know I ended up here," said Tenchi. He walked over to her. She was sitting on one of Funaho's large roots looking at the lake surrounded by the tree. Tenchi saw she was silent and seemed lost in her own thoughts.
"I didn't mean to disturb you, Miss Ayeka," said Tenchi. She didn't respond.
"I'll be going," Tenchi continued.
"No, please don't," said Ayeka. "I'm sorry, Lord Tenchi. I guess I'm lost in my thoughts too," she said. She looked up at Tenchi and smiled. She moved to the side and made room for him to sit next to her. Tenchi smiled at her and took her offer.
"I guess we all just need to time think," he said. Ayeka nodded and moved a little closer to Tenchi.
"I like to come here and think too. I always like looking at the lake, I can imagine my dreams coming to life in the reflection," she said in a quiet voice.
Tenchi leaned forward looked down at the lake. The bright moonlight showed his reflection staring back at him. "There was a belief that this tree could make wishes come true if one's heart is sincere and pure.
"The power of a Jurian tree is a mysterious thing, even to the royal family," said Ayeka. Tenchi nodded.
"I know what this tree really is, but I still like to think there's some truths to it," said Tenchi. He leaned forward again and saw his reflection again. This time Ayeka's image appeared. Her imaged looked at Tenchi's with bright hopeful eyes. They both began to get a streak of red across their faces. Tenchi turned around and saw Ayeka moving closer to him. Tenchi almost jumped back, but found he was moving closer to her. "Why is my heart beating so fast?" thought Tenchi.
They both closed their eyes. Their lips were about to touch. "Tenchi, I lo..." Ayeka did not finish. A sudden sonic boom ripped through the night sky. Tenchi reacted quickly and put himself on top of Ayeka. A strong wind blew by and quickly dispersed.
"Mihoshi?" asked Tenchi.
Ayeka shook her head, "Washu hasn't repaired her ship."
"We have to go check it out. I think it was near the house," said Tenchi. He quickly stood up and started running to the crash site. Ayeka stood up and looked at the pond. She could almost see a reflection of her and Tenchi kissing. She quickly composed herself and started to follow Tenchi.
The pod landed a distance away from the Masaki household. There was relatively little damage done to the ground upon the impact. The pod slowly opened as Ryoko appeared on the scene. The passenger walked out. Ryoko noticed that the passenger was wearing a Galaxy Police hardsuit.
"Mihoshi," spoke the GP officer through and electronic voice box. Ryoko looked at the officer strangely.
"Who wants to know?" asked Ryoko. The hardsuit began to charge up its energy weapons.
"Oh shit," said Ryoko as she ignited her energy sword.
"Oh another Galaxy Police person!" screamed Mihoshi as she appeared from the house. Sasami and Noboyuki were following her also.
The GP hardsuit automaticly scanned her and began to target her head. Mihoshi stood there and smiled. "Hello, I'm First Class Detective Mihoshi," Mihoshi started to run toward the GP officer.
Ryoko stood there and pondered whether she should do anything about the incoming scene.
"Uh, Mihoshi?" said Ryoko.
Mihoshi pulled out her cube and started fidgeting with it. "I bet your suit got locked up when it landed," she said. The armored officer was about to fire when the power suddenly died down. The armor was to heavy and it collapsed on itself. Inside a muffled screamed could be heard.
"Oops, I accidentally shut down the internal gravity field," said Mihoshi. She began turning the cube another angle. Suddenly the suit began to fall apart and the occupant was screaming curses.
"Oh my, such language," said Mihoshi. The officer took of her helmet revealing long blue hair. Mihoshi's eyes lit up and she ran toward the officer.
"KIYONE!!!" screamed Mihoshi. Kiyone did not have time to react as she was tackled down to the floor again.
"I've missed you so much," Mihoshi said.
"Get off me," screamed Kiyone. Her veins were popping out from all her frustration. Mihoshi pulled her up.
"Mihoshi, is this your partner who you kept talking about?" asked Sasami.
Mihoshi giggled, "She is the greatest Galaxy Police person and in the entire universe and my best friend."
Sasami stepped in front of Kiyone and offered her hand.
"Hello, I'm Sasami," she said. Kiyone politely smiled and shook her hand. Her anger was subsiding as she looked down at Sasami.
"Nice to meet you Sasami," said Kiyone.
Tenchi ran into the scene with his Tenchi-ken ready. Ayeka soon followed. He looked around and saw that everybody was relatively calm. "What's going on?" he asked.
"Tenchi, this is Kiyone," said Sasami. Tenchi walked up to her and shook her hand. "Nice to meet you," he said.
"We'll there's no point in hanging out here in the dark. Let's all go inside and have some tea," Noboyuki said. Everybody agreed and followed. Mihoshi took Kiyone by the hand and lead her into the Masaki house.
Later that night Kiyone sat by Mihoshi's window. She was caught up in everything. Mihoshi and everybody else kept on about Tenchi defeated Kagato and all the other adventures they went on. Kiyone even forgot she was here to kill Mihoshi.
"Mihoshi?" asked Mihoshi. Kiyone looked at Mihoshi. She was already in her bed.
"Yeah, Kiyone," said a sleepy Mihoshi.
"They were going to promote and send you to the main headquarters," said Kiyone.
"Yeah, I guess," said Mihoshi. She was making herself more comfortable and was drifting back into sleep.
"Why are you still here?" asked Kiyone.
"Tenchi," replied Mihoshi sleepily, "I think he's my destiny."
Kiyone pondered her statement. She turned to talk some more, but Mihoshi was snoring away.
Kiyone laid down on her futon. She was surprised to actually find herself relaxing after all her struggles. She looked at Mihoshi and smiled.
"I guess I'm stuck here with you for awhile," she said.
"Ooh, Tenchi," said Mihoshi.
"What is it about this Tenchi that makes him so special?" asked Kiyone as she turned over and drifted to sleep.
