Part Four: The Twist

Sakuya: That Sasami! She almost caught us! Well, at least she�s just a stupid maid; she won�t tell
on us, she knows her place!

Tenchi: I wouldn�t be so sure... she may be smarter than we think.
............................................................................................................................
(Sasami is in another room. She dials 911 on a phone)
Sasami: (whispering) Polisu! Polisu! (pauses) Hai, I can speak English! I would like to report an
attempted murder...
......................................................................................................................................................
(Ryoko is sleeping in her hospital room. She gets up.)
Ryoko: Where am I? (looks around) Well, hello everyone, you�re such a beautiful audience, and
because of that, I�m going to this special song just for you! (breaks out singing �I Will Always
Love You�)
(Tenchi enters)
Tenchi: (shaking her) You are not Whitney Houston!
Ryoko: (changing �character�) WHERE�S MY BABY?!?
Tenchi: You don�t have a baby.
Ryoko: Of course I do! GIVE ME MY  BABY!!
(Tenchi snaps his fingers, and Ryoko drops her head in hypnotic sleep)
Ryoko: (in zombielike voice)Yeeeees Maaaaaaasteeerrrrrr....
Tenchi: Oh wow, it worked! Um, you are um, uh, just go to bed!
(Ryoko obeys)
......................................................................................................................................................
(Sakuya enters Ayeka�s room, and starts adjusting her life support systems. Sasami peeks
in, disappears for a moment, then comes back with Mihoshi and Kiyone dressed as  nurses)
Mihoshi:  Are you the Doctor?
Sakuya: What?? Oh, Nurse... uh...
Mihoshi: Mihoshi! (Flashes a victory sign. Kiyone nudges her to stop.)
Kiyone: And Kiyone. What are you doing?
Sakuya: Nothing, just checking up on her condition.
Mihoshi: I thought that�s what the machines are for...
Sakuya: Well, yes, but...
Kiyone: But what Ma�am? (Gives her a suspicious look)
Sakuya: Sasami, could you leave?
Sasami: Hai, Sakuya-sama...
Kiyone: No, Sasami, please stay.
Sakuya: (annoyed) Why should she stay?
Kiyone: Sakuya, you are under arrest for Attempted Murder! (Puts handcuffs on Sakuya's wrists)
Mihoshi: Hey! Wait a minute, Kiyone! I thought I was going to arrest the criminal this time! I had
the handcuffs ready and everything!!
Kiyone: If I had let you arrest her, you would've somehow screwed it up just like you always do!
Mihoshi: What's that supposed to mean?!
(Tenchi  enters with Ryoko)
Tenchi: What�s going on?
Kiyone: Sakuya is our prime suspect in this case. I�m arresting her.
Mihoshi: Well, I was supposed to, but--
Tenchi: WHAT CASE? Who do you two think you are anyway, some kind of detectives?
Kiyone: Actually, we  are. (She and Mihoshi show them their ID badges)
Kiyone and Mihoshi: Undercover Detectives Kiyone and Mihoshi, at your service!!
Sakuya: How long will this be?
Mihoshi: (scratching her head) Um, actually, we aren�t sure yet.
Sakuya: I�m going to take Sasami with me then!
Sasami: Gomen nasai, Sakuya-sama, I cannot.
Sakuya: Why?
Kiyone: She hasn�t committed any crime.
Tenchi: Oh, yeah. That�s true.
(Ayeka wakes up and gets out of bed)
Ayeka: What happened? Where am I?
Tenchi: (disappointed) Oh. Ayeka, you�re awake.

Kiyone: Sakuya,  you have the right to remain silent. Anything you do or say can be used against
you in court. (leaves with Mihoshi and Sakuya)
Tenchi: Sakuya!
Ayeka: (shocked) Tenchi!
Tenchi: Oh yes, you.
Sasami: Don�t you care about your fiancee?
Tenchi: W-Well...uh.....
Ayeka: Could someone just tell me what�s going on?
Tenchi: Sakuya got arrested for attempted murder.
Ayeka: Of who?
Tenchi: You really are a baka, aren�t you? She was going to kill you and Ryoko, that�s who! I
should be the one arrested, not Sakuya. She�s innocent.
Sasami: No she�s not! You are both guilty, I saw everything! I�m the one who called that
detective to come arrest Sakuya.
Tenchi: Well, then why did she only arrest Sakuya?
Sasami: I�ve always hated Sakuya. This was the perfect revenge. Besides, I know you really
wanted to marry Sakuya. I�ve seen you two together. That�s why you wanted to kill Ayeka. I
decided to keep you separated for the rest of your miserable lives!
Ayeka: I don�t understand...
Tenchi: Don�t you get it? I DON�T LOVE YOU ANYMORE! But I can�t kill you now. There�s
no point to that. (he picks up an empty syringe)
Ryoko: Where�s my baby?
Tenchi: SHUT UP! And now, the true love of my life is arrested. So since we can�t all be killed...
(He is about to inject the air filled needle into his veins, when they hear a woman's voice
from above)
Voice: There! It's all fixed. I'd better bring them back now.
Another Voice: Meow!
(Tenchi, Ayeka, Ryoko, Sasami, Kiyone, Mihoshi, and Sakuya are sucked back into the
energy cyclone, and arrive back in Washu's lab, back to their original selves.)
Sakuya: W-What just happened?
Mihoshi: I don't know, but all of a sudden I've got this strange urge to watch a detective movie.
Ayeka: Not right now, I'm missing my soap operas!!
Ryoko:  For some reason, I think we've had more than enough soap operas for today...
Washu: Boy, it's a good thing I got you guys back when I did. Tenchi almost committed suicide!
Tenchi: I did?!?!?
Ryo-ohki: (sweat dropping) Meoooww...
