No Need For the Present

About an hour later.

All the girls stood in the field, some not quite themselves (for all their hours, check the other paths). Sasami, for one, had become Tsunami, in appearance at least, while Washu sported her adult form as well. She and Kiyone stood with their hips pushed to the side seductively, while the rest simply leaned forward gazing at Tenchi with love.

Tenchi: Oh, no, you all heard about Valentine's day!?

Washu: That's right, Tenchi! And we all wanna be a part of it with ya!

Mihoshi: You don't mind, do ya, Tenchi?

Tenchi: Does it matter?

Washu: Does it ever?

Tenchi: No...sigh Alright, but i can't take you all on dates at the same time, so you're gonna have to decide who goes when!

Ryoko: What!? Tenchiiii! Just ignore them and go with me!

Ayeka: Now just a minute, you...!!

Ryoko: Come on, princess. Why would Tenchi want you when he could have me?

Ryoko put her hands behind her head and looked at Tenchi suggestively.

Ryoko: So, what do ya say we go right to fun part of the date, Tenchi?

Tenchi: Ryoko! C'mon...!

Ryoko: Ooo! Ya hear that? Oh, i'll come on. Lead the way, Tenchi.

Tenchi: That's not what i meant!!

Ayeka: Ha! Lord Tenchi wouldn't go anywhere with a monster like you! Please, Lord Tenchi, allow me the pleasure of your company this Valentine's Day.

Tenchi: But...

Mihoshi: No! Tenchi should be valentines with me! Come on! I promise i won't blow up anything important while you're with me!

Tenchi: But...!

Kiyone, blushing: T-tenchi....I...i think i would be your best valentine candidate. I can be fun, when i want to be...

Tenchi: Kiyone? Um...Valentine's day is...

Tsunami: Tenchi! P-please, go on a date with me! I'm not a kid for awhile, so we can...we can kiss....

Tenchi: Tsunami!?

Tsunami: Yes, but call me Sasami!

Tenchi: Sasami, Valentine's Day is...

Ryoko: You're all wasting your time, Tenchi belongs with me. Right, Tenchi? We're meant to be valentines today.

Tenchi: Rrrr, LISTEN TO ME, DAMMIT!! VALENTINE'S DAY ISN'T TODAY!!! IT'S THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!!! Now, please stop all this until then!

the girls, minus Washu and Sasami: WHAAAAAT!??!

Tenchi: Valentine's Day is February 14th! Today is the 12th!

Ayeka: You're not serious!

Tenchi: I am serious, Ayeka. Check any calendar.

Washu: I tried to tell you.

Ryoko: You liar! Then why are you out here too?!

Washu: To watch you all make idiots of yourselves. You exceeded my expectations!

Sasami: I'm sorry. I should have mentioned when it was before you all got so excited about it.

Ryoko: You knew too!?

Kiyone: But, you changed into Tsunami!

Sasami: I know. I wanted to ask Tenchi on a date in advance. And i thought if i did it as Tsunami, he'd say yes.

Ayeka: I see....

Washu: So, Tenchi. Now that you know we all wanna go out with you, ya might as well pick now.
