Tenchi Muyo - Switch
--------------------
In front of a computer style console, Washuu typed rapidly,
grinning in delight as she worked on her new invention. A large mirror
sits above the workstation, reaching about a meter high, and half that
wide.
Tenchi poked his head in the sub-dimensional doorway, and called
out to her. "Washuu-chan, Sasami sent me to tell you breakfast was
ready."
"Oh, Tenchi-dono! Come in, and watch me start up my new
invention." Washuu turned, and waved him over. She reached back with one
hand, and tapped a few keys. The mirror flickered, then went back to
normal.
Tenchi looked at it carefully, then shrugged. His mirror image
did the same. "Looks like a mirror."
Washuu frowned. "It was supposed to be a visual gateway to
parallel dimensions."
Tenchi smiled, then glanced at the mirror again. His jaw dropped,
and he tapped Washuu on the shoulder. "Washuu, look!"
"Washuu-CHAN."
Tenchi sighed, "Just look!"
Washuu grinned at him then looked at the mirror again. She
blinked a few times. "Tenchi... do I have two small robots on my
shoulders?"
Tenchi shook his head.
"YATTA! It works!"
He laughed, and waved to his opposite image. It waved back...
but with the opposite hand.
Behind them, a fairly loud crash signalled Mihoshi entrance to the
lab. Tenchi looked behind himself, sighed softly, then looked back at the
mirror. His eyes went wide again. "Washuu-chan, look. There's someone
with the Mihoshi in the other world."
Mihoshi joined them, and looked in the mirror as well. She
blinked a few times, and looked to her side and back until she gave up in
confusion. "Ara... who is that with Mihoshi in the mirror?"
Tenchi reaches out to touch the mirror with his right hand, not
noticing the image in the mirror do the same thing. "Washuu, who is
that?"
Washuu shrugs. "No way to find out." Her face turns pale.
"Tenchi, don't touch the-"
Tenchi jumps, as the Washuu on the other side opens her mouth,
appearing to yell at the other Tenchi. The outstretched hands touch the
mirror at the same instant, and blinding flash of light erupts from the
mirror, shattering it.
"-mirror!! Oh damn."
Tenchi shakes his head, and stands up from where he has fallen on
the floor. He looks around, confused. "Where's Kiyone?"
