Tenchi Twins
Chapter 12: No Need for Explanations
The next morning in the past, Washu had finished her time machine. However it was only ready to transport one person. "You should go first Altran," Tenchi offered.
"I thank you Lord Tenchi, but I cannot accept your kind offer." Altran looked at the machine that could take him home, he wanted to go but wasn't quite ready.
"Really, it's alright," truthfully, Tenchi didn't want to leave Altran in the past, he might slip and reveal too much information.
"I must insist, beside there is something I wish to do while I'm here. I wish to train so that I may face Laser in the future," the truth was, that Altran's injuries were cased more so by being thrown into the past surrounded by his own energy which went out of control, than from the battle with Laser. "For that purpose, I wish to go to the carrot fields and train as Lord Tenchi did in the past! Please allow me to learn the secret of the carrot field training!"
Tenchi blinked, sure working on the carrot fields required a lot of excursive, but it wasn't some kind of special training. His guess was Ayeka exaggerated a little telling her son past stories about Tenchi. "Okay, I'll teach you everything you need to know about working on the carrot fields."
"Thank you Lord Tenchi! I won't let you down!" At least this meant that Tenchi would have some extra help.
After Tenchi and Altran, who being half Jurian as a very fast healer and not as badly injured as it initially looked, went off to the carrot fields, Ryoko found Ayeka contemplating the lake. "What are you looking at?" Ryoko looked at the lake but found nothing out of the ordinary.
"Nothing, I was just thinking," Ayeka replied.
"About what?" Ryoko inquired.
"About that boy, I feel as if I know him but I know I've never met him. He's a Juraian and he has the same hair color as me. I've been wondering if he's somehow a long lost relative. But why was I never told such a person existed in my family?" Ayeka looked out into the lake and sighed, "I guess the name of Altran wasn't as original as I thought."
Ryoko already knew who Altran really was, but it had been kept a secret from Ayeka. "What do you mean?"
"Don't you remember?" Ayeka looked a little upset, "of course you wouldn't remember; you were drunk."
"I wasn't drunk!" Ryoko defended herself even if she didn't know exactly about what occasion Ayeka was talking about. Then the realization came to her. "It's about the time we stayed up late drinking and talked about what we would name our kids if either of us got Tenchi. I remember, you said that if it was a girl you would name her Ayinka and if it was a boy Altran."
"That's right, much more original than Tenko and Tenryo," Ayeka nodded to herself.
"Tenyo," Ryoko recalled. "But then, why Tenryu?" She mused aloud.
"Tenryu?" Ayeka repeated. "That sounds more Juraian; it would make a little more justice to Tenchi's roots, of course that's not going to happen, because I will marry Lord Tenchi."
"Now I get it, well anyway, just because someone else has the name Altran doesn't mean you can't still use it. No name is completely unique, there's always someone somewhere who has that same name," Ryoko tried to preserve history, though they might end up forgetting all of this anyway, Tenchi didn't want to take more risks than necessary.
"I suppose you're right..." Ayeka agree, she paused and feigned exaggerated surprise. "Oh my, I said Ryoko was right, I wonder if I'm getting ill."
"Real funny Ayeka," Ryoko childishly stuck out her tongue and Ayeka responded in a similar way.
Meanwhile in the future, a brand new day had also started and Washu had finally returned. The scientist explained everything, including the fact that this was Tenchi of the past. Ayeka paced around impatiently worried about her little boy, while her husband Kenji tried to comfort her though he was also worried.
"Well since Tokimi is being stubborn and rather watch how this plays out, I guess we'll have to use my time machine to straighten out this mess, erase some memories and make it all be alright. I still have my old time machine and knew this would happen, I didn't erase my own memories after all," Washu noted the disproving glare of her audience consisting of Ayeka, Kenji, Ryoko, Tenko, Tenryu, Tenchi of the past and the three cabbits, Ryo-ohki, Neo-ohki and Nya-ohki. "But since you're from the future, or relative future, you will all get to keep your memories this time around. It's just your past selves that will forget. Also, Ayeka you can stop worrying about Altran, as I recall he's perfectly fine."
"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Ayeka yelled.
"Somebody's cranky today." Washu shook her head. "Anyway, I'm sure my past self and I can fix this in no time and send everyone to where they are supposed to go. I'll give my past self some time to finish the machine and then the Tenchis can switch places, and Altran can return here. It's a simply procedure, really."
With that the atmosphere was calmed and everyone waited for future Tenchi return, though with time travel to say they were waiting felt odd, but they would have to wait until the time targeted from Washu of the past arrived.
In the mean time Ryoko, Tenko and Tenryu introduced Tenchi to one of their favorite futuristic videogames and Ayeka and Kenji returned to Jurai assured that Altran was in the care of the Tenchi from their time, twenty-five years earlier.
Tokimi watched it all unfold with a somewhat dissatisfied expression. It was too predictable because Washu still held the memories of the past. But Tokimi could overwrite that past and while it remained as ever changing as the future, the memories would be unclear and that past would become unpredictable, unless Washu reverted to her true form which was something Tokimi knew she would only do as a last resort.
With that in mind Tokimi went to find Laser, when Washu caught up, she would just make some extra changes again. Locating him was easy enough for Tokimi, and just as easily she sent him and Rune-ohki to the past, off to crash in the carrot field were Altran and future Tenchi were working. With Tokimi determined to continue having her fun, who knew for how long the chaos would last.

Disclaimer, I do not own Tenchi Muyo, or Universe. Some of the definitions for "Rune" link it to magic. The name Rune-ohki is similar to Ren-ohki, the original from whom Rune-ohki was clones. Cabbit cloning is quite hard in this story and scientists would sometimes sarcastically say that "magic" is needed to clone a cabbit. Of course they're scientists and don't rely on such a thing as magic, so it was their way of saying it was impossible, or at least very close to impossible. That's the story behind Rune-ohki's name.
