Tenchi Muyo Fan Fiction ❯ CINDERSAMI ❯ First Half ( Chapter 1 )

GRRRR, guess i have to do the stupid disclaimer that nobody ever reads.... well okay. I don't own any of these Tenchi Muyo charactors. I must not be a real fan, cuz i don't know anyone who does, except for Pioneer o_O Now that that's out of the way....

The Tenchi Muyo Cast in CINDERSAMI

Konnichiwa, ladies and gentlemen! My name is Misato Ikari! I have acess to every charactor in over 20 animes! *smiles* Of course I take advantage of this, as you probably already know, and have them act in different plays for me!

Well today's show, as you can see, is based on Cinderella. It is starring the cast of Tenchi Muyo, and is titled "Cindersami".

I will now introduce the cast.

INTRODUCTION

Playing the evil *ahem* step-father, is Kagato.

Kagato: *bows*

Uh, yes.... And the evil step-sisters - Aeka and Ryoko!

Aeka/Ryoko: WHAT?!

Aeka: I could understand why you would pick that demon! But I am hardly ugly!!

Ryoko: Yeah, to a bullfrog...

Aeka: Why you-

Come on now! I never said "ugly", I said "evil"! And you two have to be the step-sisters cuz you fight all the time like them! You'll hardly have to act!

Ryoko: Oh YEAH! Being evil is sooo much fun!!

Aeka: Well... as long as I still get to act like a princess!

....Like wear expensive clothing and sit on your butt all day while someone else works? Yep, you still get to do that.

Aeka: .....

Okay.

Playing the part of the Fairy Godmother is Washu!

Washu: "Little" Washu!!

But....

Washu: *pouts* I won't be in your play if I can't be wittle!

*sigh* Okay.

Playing the part of the Fairy Godmother is "Little" Washu.

Playing the Prince is, of course, Tenchi Masaki!

Tenchi: *looks embarrassed* Well, um...

Ryoko: What? No fair! I want to be Cinderella!!

Aeka: I should be Cinderella! I'm the only one for Tenchi!!

Ryoko: Under whose rules? I saw him first!

*Rolls eyes* Well gee, the name of the play is "Cindersami"! I wonder who is playing Cinderella!

Aeka/Ryoko: SASAMI?!

Ryoko: But she's just a kid!

Aeka: That is perverted! I will not stand for-

Oh come on!! Who can deny that this role is perfect for her?!? You guys kinda treat her like Cinderella sometimes, anyway.

NOW.

The star of the show is Sasami! Playing the part of Cindersami!

Sasami: *blushes* *curtsies*

*smiles* Playing the part of the King and the Duke are Yosho and Nobuyuki!

Washu: *to herself* Getting the pervert to be the duke, eh? That's going to be intresting!

And last, but not least, we have Mihoshi as the narrator!

Now let's get started!

*they all walk backstage and the light dims.*

SCENE ONE

Mihoshi: *walks onstage with script and trips* AAAAHH!! *blushes and stands up* *mumbles* Oh, this is so embarrassing! I've never been so embarrassed in my life!

Yosho: *from prompter's box* Mihoshi! Your lines!

Mihoshi: Oh, oh yes! *faces audience* Cindersami was a cheerful maiden who lived with her evil step-father and evil step-sisters. Her life had been very good until her beautiful and kind mother got sick and, oh my!! and, and, died. After that, her step-father and sisters made her life very hard by being cruel to her besides making her do all the chores from sun-up to sun-down. *starts crying* Poor Cindersami.... Oh! uh, they would call her Cindersami because they made her sleep in the hearth among the cinders! *sob* Oh that is just horrible! That poor little girl! WAAAA!!!

Yosho: *from prompter box* Mishoshi!

Mihoshi: *sniffs and nods* Scene One! *walks offstage*

The curtains pull back.

*voices are heard from backstage*

Aeka: But I don't want to be the daughter of a horrible sadistic criminal like him, pretend or not!!

Sasami: ....but Aeka!

Ryoko: Hey! Aeka's actually right for once! I'm not gonna pretend that psycho's my dad!!

Uh, excuse me ladies and gentleman, we seem to be having some TECHNICAL difficulties right now.... *walks offstage*

*shouting and things being whacked around are heard*

Now get out there and perform!!!!

*ryoko and aeka trip onto the stage*

Ryoko: Boy, you sure looked stupid back there, Aeka! *does an impression* "EEEK! The director's gone insane!! Help me, help me!!"

Aeka: Well at least I wasn't hiding from Kagato behind a curtain!!

*they start shouting at each other*

Yosho: *from prompter's box* Girls! Your lines!

Aeka/Ryoko: Shut up!!

Yosho: Tenchi!

Tenchi: *sees Misato's red glowing eyes from behind a curtain backstage* Uhhhh....

Aeka/Ryoko: Yes???

Tenchi: You better say your lines....

*stop fighting*

Step-Ryoko: Ugh! Where's my breakfast?! I'm starving!

Step-Aeka: Just look at my dress! It obviously wasn't washed with Xtra!

S.Aeka/S.Ryoko: Cindersami!!

*sasami walks onstage dressed in a ragged dress*

Cindersami: Yes sisters?

Step-Aeka: Cindersami! Just look at this dress!

Cindersami: *looks*

Step-Aeka: And it's smell!

Cindersami: *smells*

Step-Aeka: Really, Cindersami, I thought you would've known by now that I only want my royal attire cleansed with Xtra, not some cheap, smelly, no-good laundry soap such as you've used on this dress!

Aeka: I'm sorry, but I think my part was written by Mojo Jojo.... uh... Misato??

*rolls her eyes* Sorry Aeka. ANYWAY.,..

Cindersami: *sigh* I'm sorry. I'll remember next time...

Aeka: *exits*

Step-Ryoko: Cindersami, what about breakfast?!

Cindersami: *puts steak, eggs, a stack of pancakes, bacon, a glass of milk, and a glass of orange juice on the table*

Step-Ryoko: Uh, Cindersami??

Cindersami: Yes, sister?

Step-Ryoko: Do you think that tiny, limp piece of bacon could fill me up???

Cindersami: *looks at it*

Step-Ryoko: Next time, I want the whole pig!!

Cindersami: *sigh* I"m sorry. I'll remember next time...

Step-Ryoko: Heh, you better! *grabs food and disappears backstage*

*cindersami starts scrubbing the floor. ken-ohki and ryo-ohki enter*

BACKSTAGE

Aeka: You got Ken-ohki???

Yeah, I borrowed him from Nagi for this small part.

ONSTAGE

Cindersami: I wonder why they're so mean to me all the time! You two are my only friends! Come here, Meow-Meow and Bob.

BACKSTAGE

Ryoko/Aeka: WHAT?!

Ryoko: Meow-Meow.....

Aeka:.... and.... and, Bob??!!!

*shugs* Well, you guys don't know how hard it is to name things!

Kagato: *to himself* Bob??

Hey! That was your cue, Kagato!!

Kagato: Oh, yes... *walks onstage*

ONSTAGE

Step- Kagato: What are those ragged creatures doing in here, Cindersami?! Are you looking to change your name, would you like that? Something such as, Spoiled Brat, maybe? Because that is what you are going to be called if you do as you please.

Now get doing the laundry and the dishes, clean all 30 rooms and... mow the entire lawn. *starts to exit*

Cindersami: *gasp* But step-father....

Step-Kagato: *turns around* and get those things OUT, or we will have them for dinner. *grins eviliy and exits*

Cindersami: Ooooh! I"m so sorry Meow-Meow.......... and Bob...., but you're going to have to leave. *sob* Step-father will probably really eat you if you stay here.

BACKSTAGE

Kagato: No I would NOT. I would make them into my slave ships.

*everyone rolls their eyes*

*curtains close, Mihoshi walks onto stage*

Mihoshi: Cindersami was a cheerful maiden who lived with her evil step-father and evil step-sisters. Her life had been very good until her beau-

GRRRR! *grabs script away, turns a couple of pages, hands it back, and points to a spot on the script* *walks away mumbling*

Mihoshi: Oh, uh, SCENE TWO.

Meanwhile, in the castle.....

*curtains go up and Mihoshi walks offstage*

Nobuyuki is pacing back, and forth (looking at a magazine) while Yosho sits in a chair.

Duke Nobuyuki: It's really time Prince Tenchi got married! *turns a page*

King Yosho: (nods)

Duke Nobuyuki: He shouldn't be keeping all those pretty young maidens in the kingdom waiting.

King Yosho: (nods)

Duke Nobuyuki: And you know you aren't getting any younger... Sometimes I wonder if you're gonna make it to Prince Tenchi's wedding day...

King Yosho: (nods)

Duke Nobuyuki: (turns magazine around for a while) *sigh* He didn't want any of the princesses we had him meet. I wonder what kind of girl he'd want..... *turns page* OOOO! I think I know!!

King Yosho: (glances at the Duke's mag and shakes his head) (grabs it and throws it out the window)

Duke Nobuyuki: HEY-!!

King Yosho: (glares at him) YES?!

Nobuyuki: I have an idea on how to get him married! (looks around) A swimsuit contest!!

*everyone falls over*

That's NOT in the script!!!!!!!!!

King Yosho: (gets up) Duke Nobuyuki, I don't think that would work for Prince Tenchi.

Duke Nobuyuki: (shrugs) Well, I tryed.

King Yosho: I think that a ball would be more effective...

Duke Nobuyuki: Yeah, and we'll invite ALL the girls in the WHOLE kingdom!!!

King Yosho: Yes, put up a notice immediantly!

*curtains close*

BACKSTAGE

Where is Mihoshi?!

Aeka: Uh, Misato-san... I think she said something about food....

WHAT?!

Sasami: I tryed to tell her to wait, but....

AAAGGH!! Tenchi!! Go find her, I'll go on!

Tenchi: (sigh) Alright...

SCENE THREE

And so.. the news eventually reached Cindersami's household...

Step-Ryoko: OOOO, what's this?? A ball??

Step-Aeka: Lemme see that!!! A royal ball?? To determine who shall marry Prince Tenchi?!

Step-Ryoko: The prince, really??? Oh!!

Step-Aeka: (laughs) Of course you know who he shall pick...!

S. Ryoko: Yeah, ME!!

S. Aeka: Who, in their right mind, would EVER pick YOU??

Cindersami: (to herself) I wonder what I'll wear...

S. Ryoko/S.Aeka: WHAT?!

S. Ryoko: Who says YOU'RE coming?

S. Aeka: Yes, you are far too young.

Cindersami: (points to notice) But it says "all ages"!

S. Aeka: Yes, well, I think we know what's best for you....

S. Ryoko: Yeah, listen to your elders!

Cindersami: But....

S.Ryoko: DAD!!

S.Aeka: FATHER!!

Step-Kagato: What is it?

S. Aeka: It's about the ball tonight...

S. Ryoko: Cindersami thinks she can come too!

Cindersami: .. But it says "all ages"!!

*Kagato takes the notice and looks at it*

Step-Kagato: Yes, it DOES say "all ages", but it also says "as long as it doesn't compromise with bedtime hours". The ball starts at 8:30, and since you go to bed at 9:00, well I just don't se how you could make it.

Besides, you have nothing to wear, don't tell me you'd want to go in THAT! (nods at her ragged dress)

Cindersami: But I could borrow a dress from one of my sisters and take a nap tomorrow!

Step-Kagato: The answer is still no. There will be plenty of other balls, don't worry... Now get back to work.

*sasami walks offstage*

Step-Kagato: Her kindness disgusts me.

S. Aeka: Oh! It's later than we thought!

S. Ryoko: We better get going!

Step-Kagato: Yes. You girls know what to do, right? Get Prince Tenchi to propose, then you can marry him and kill his father. When that's done, you can kill Prince Tenchi, and we will rule the kingdom!!! *starts laughing evilily and puts his arms around the girls who have an expression of pure terror on their faces*

*curtain goes down*

INTERMISSION

BACKSTAGE

Aeka: K-kill Tenchi??

Ryoko: I won't do it!!

Well of course not, read the script!

Ryoko: *grabs script* *reads* HEY!! He wasn't supposed to head-lock us like that!!

Kagato: *grins eviliy* Yes, it seems that I got a bit carried away....

Aeka/Ryoko: UGH!!

Has Tenchi come back with Mihoshi yet??

*everyone shakes their heads*

Where in the world... I hope she gets back before intermission is over! (looks at watch) 10 minutes. Hmmm... You guys can go get a drink or whatever if you want to. Just don't leave the building like Mihoshi did.

*they nod and disperse*

TEN MINUTES LATER

(looks around) Good, everyone's back...except.... UGH!! Mihoshi and Tenchi!

*thinks* Maybe I SHOULD have used the cast from Shin Tenchi, instead. Then Kiyone or Sakuya coulda been the narrator... *sigh* but then I wouldn't have been able to use Kagato, and he's SUCH a good evil step-father....

*out loud* Oh well.
