Sasami pulled out a book from a book bag sitting on the
dining table.  She browsed through one of the books bought
from a foreign book store.  She has wanted to diversify her
cooking to please Tenchi.  As Sasami emptied the book bag
onto the table, she noticed an extra book.  Reading the
title, Sasami got exited and hastily placed all the cook
books into the bag.  The young princess hurried over to the
sofa and began reading the book titled:  "The Various
Holidays of Planet Earth".  She was very curious indeed.

Hopping onto the nearby sofa, the Juraian Princess began to
read the book of her interest.  Ryo-ohki entered the room
and hopped on Sasami�s lap.  There, the cabbit fell into
slumber land as Sasami read the book with great interest.
She barely acknowledging the cabbits presence.

"AH HA!" Sasami shouted in great excitement, wakening the
cabbit dreaming of a carrot castle.  Sasami just received
and idea that a part of her liked.  It awakened a part of
her we rarely saw.

"Miya?" wondered the cabbit as the princess placed the
cabbit on her head.  Sasami smiled wickedly as a plan on
celebrating the holiday she liked to celebrate formed in her
mind.

Washu was busy devising a technique on getting the last
sample she needed.  Her previous attempts had failed thanks
to interruptions, but she was determined to get that sample.

The famous mad scientist was editing some file on her
"shadow" computer when se noticed a visitor.  The scientist
tuned her head to the young princess, Sasami.

"Hello Sasami, is it tea time already?" Washu asked.

"Nope" Sasami replied smiling.

"May I help you then?"

"Hai!  May I borrow one of your inventions?  I believe it
was reference number 1998-69666"

"NANI?!?!" Washu said in shock, "How did you find out about
that one?  I wasn't going to reveal that experiment for a
while."

"I have my sources." Sasami replied smiling.

"Hmmmm... ok, but tell me why you are using this device?
Why would you want a..." Washu paused for a few seconds in
thought then realized the event that will happen tomorrow.
"Ahhhh... I see, you want to use it for..."

"Shhhhhhhh..."  Sasami interrupted, "Someone might be
eavesdropping."

"Sasami I am impressed, I hope you plans go well."

"I have one more request..."

"Yes?"

"Can you disappear for just tomorrow?  Seal the door to your
dimension and place a sign that says 'I am busy working on
another plant, I'll be back tomorrow'."

"Ummm... Wouldn't that be lying..."

"No it is not."  the princess countered, "It is the truth to
a certain extent.  Your lab is on another plant in another
dimension, right?"

"Your correct!" Washu exclaimed, "I never knew you to be so
sneaky.  But why?"

Sasami blushed at the remark, then replied to the question,
"I don't want you to get blamed, They may blame you since I
am using one of your inventions. I don't want you to get
hurt."

"oh I see... I will stay, but under one condition..."

"Oh?", Sasami inquired, "What do you need?"

"The next day, I want you to bring Tenchi to my lab.  I need
to get a sample form him."

"Ummmm...." Sasami sweats at the request then replies
hesitantly with a slight nod wondering if she did the right
thing.

"It is a deal then!"  Washu happily exclaims.  The scientist
smiles as she gives the young Juraian the machine.
Approximately the size of your average TV remote control.
"I will 'disappear' tomorrow.  Have fun Sasami-chan"

"Hai!" exclaimed Sasami, "I will"

With that, Sasami hurries and exits Washu's lab with the
contraption in her arms.  Washu smiles at the departure of
the princess.  She follows Sasami�s request and seals her
lab and places the sign on the door.

"Tomorrow will be a fun filled day in the Masaki household."
Washu exclaimed to herself as she began to plant spy cameras
all over the house.  "I must keep an excellent record of the
upcoming events.  Plus I will get the sample I need.  What
fortune.  MWA HAH HAH Hah ha..."

Sasami awoke in the middle of the night.  The blue haired
goddess smiled at it was the day she was waiting. The hands
of a nearby clock were all pointing at the number three.
She got up and carried Ryo-ohki to the hallway.  There,
Sasami proceeded to a near by linen closet and extracted
Washu's invention form it.  Sasami glanced around making
sure the coast was clear and heads for the kitchen.

The lights of the kitchen flicker on as Sasami places the
contraption on the kitchen table.  The princess smiles at
Ryo-ohki.  The cabbit retinues said smile.

"Ryo-ohki, are you sure you are willing to go along with my
plan?"  The princess asked.

"Miya!"  The cabbit happily replied.

Sasami pulled out a carrot and gave it to her willing
accomplice.  Ryo-ohki happily munches on the carrot as the
princess looks over the device.  Sasami examines the manual
Washu left inside it and reads it.  After a few minutes, the
princess finally understood how to use the machine.

"Ready to go Ryo-ohki?" Sasami asked?

"Miya!" The cabbit replied happily.

With Ryo-ohki following, Sasami headed for her first victim.
She quietly sneaked up to the third floor of the Masaki
house.  The mischievous princess slowly opened the door to
Tenchi�s room.  With a giggle she entered his room.
