| ...................................................................................................................................................... **Author's Note** For all you readers out there who are about to be very confused, Tenchi and the gang are going to find themselves in a soap opera where they all take on slightly different roles and personalities. Here is a brief description of the "new" Cast of Characters: Sakuya-- A rich, evil widow (Her Dark Side, revealed!!!) Sasami-- Sakuya's Japanese slave--er, maid Tenchi-- Sakuya’s stepson who is a brain surgeon Ayeka--Tenchi’s fiancee Ryoko-- A friend of the family, but a little drunken slut Kiyone--Detective One Mihoshi--Detective Two ..................................................................................................................................................... Scene 1-- Sakuya’s summer mansion in Los Angeles, California (Sakuya is making a list of chores for Sasami) Sakuya: (calling loudly) Sasami! (Sasami enters and curtsies before Sakuya) Sasami: Hai, Sakuya-sama? How may I serve you? Sakuya: My stepson, Tenchi, has just told me that he is engaged to that little brat Ayeka, so... I need you to cook us up a meal of eight courses for thirty people, also, clean the house, pick up my dry cleaning--you’ll need the big car. It’s half my wardrobe, you know. Sasami: Well, I did bring it there. Sakuya: Call everyone to make sure they’re coming, weed the garden--the gardener won’t be here for a few days. Sew new curtains for the salon windows. They need to be sky blue and full. then I want you to polish all the silver and dust the chandeliers. (Sasami leaves to do her huge pile of extra work) ...................................................................................................................................................... Scene 2-- At the Party (Ryoko is talking to Sakuya, with a glass of wine in each hand) Ryoko: Wow, Sakuya-san, this is such a fab party! (Takes a drink) Sakuya: Oh, it’s not san, just call me Sakuya. And thank you, my maid Sasami did it all herself. Those girls from Tokimatsu, they’re wonderful. You should buy--I mean, hire one. Ryoko: Ah-huh...(walks away) Ayeka: Well, thank you so much, Sakuya. It was so kind of you to throw this party for us. Sakuya: Oh my, you can call me Mom, Ayeka. Tenchi: I don’t call you Mom, you trollop. Sakuya: Oh, isn’t he cute, my little illegitimate stepson! (pinches his cheeks) Tenchi: Hey Whore, don’t touch me. Ayeka: Calm down, you two. Why don’t we all go to the refreshment table. I see Ryoko has found the wine. I hope it’s low proof! (Everyone does corny, polite laugh, except Ryoko, who is still gulping glass after glass of wine) Sakuya: (yawning) Oh, it’s getting late anyway, and you all are boring me. I think I’ll go clubbing. (calls in a shrill voice) Sasami! Sasami: Hai, Sakuya-sama, what now? Sakuya: Drive me downtown. I need to go clubbing... and wear something nice. I expect you to follow me at a distance. Sasami: All right. (Sakuya and Sasami leave) (Ayeka and Tenchi go to Ryoko, who is hiccuping and swaying drunkenly) Tenchi: Oh my! I have a beep. Ayeka: I didn’t hear a beep. Tenchi: It was set on vibrate. Ayeka: Oh. Tenchi: Anyways, I have to go to the hospital to perform an emergency triple bypass brain surgery. It’s an emergency. Ayeka: Well, okay. Tenchi: Ryoko, you can drive Ayeka home, can’t you? Ryoko: (hiccuping drunkenly) Um... okay... Sure. (Takes another drink) (Tenchi leaves) ...................................................................................................................................................... Scene 3: The party is nearly over. Ayeka: Well, I think I’m ready to go. Ryoko: Just one second...Can you hold these? (Hands about ten empty glasses to Ayeka, one by one. Ayeka sets them on a nearby table.) (They get into Ryoko’s car, with Ryoko at the wheel. Ryoko takes another drink. Ryoko: (giggling and drunk) Walla Bies, Walla Walla, Wallabies, Wallabieeeeeeees! (Ryoko passes out on the wheel. Ayeka lets out a blood-curdling scream, just as they roll over a cliff. >Sorry Ryoko, but Ayeka had it coming to her-eh heh heh...) (End of Part Two) |
