Ayeka was cool...well...more cool than Ryoko that is. Ryoko looked as if she was going to kill someone. Sasami had a curious look on her face. Mihoshi was dragged out of the house by Kiyone, all the while with Mihoshi protesting. Tenchi was trying to inch his way out of the living room, and Minagi was doing the same thing. The living room was silent for a solid minute, than Ryoko tried to open the door to Washu's lab. Ryoko ripped open the door to the lab, only to discover....a closet! Moreover, there was a note attached to the back of the closet, quite visible to Ryoko. The note said:

DO NOT DISTURB -- GENIUS AT WORK

Ryoko and Ayeka both growled at seeing the note, and Tenchi and Minagi were able to exit the living room without anyone noticing. Ryoko was seething, and Ayeka was keeping her cool. Sasami returned to cook breakfast.
"Washu, let us in!" yelled Ryoko to the simple closet under the stairs that had housed Washu's lab. There was no reply from Washu.
"Miss Washu, there are things to discuss" said Ayeka in a somewhat softer voice than Ryoko. Still there was no reply.
"Can't you get in?" asked Ayeka to Ryoko.
"No" said Ryoko. "when my mother seals her lab, nobody can enter her lab...unless she wants someone to enter it"
"Then we'll ask Tenchi to enter the lab" said Ayeka.
Of course, Tenchi and Minagi weren't in the living room anymore.
"Damn it!" yelled Ryoko.

Minagi and Tenchi had slipped out of the living room and out of the Masaki house altogehter. They made it outside the house just in time to see Yagami flying away towards space. Yagami left a little vapor trail that quickly vanished. Minagi and Tenchi walked past Azaka and Kamidake, back at thier usual post at the entrance to the Masaki house grounds. They each waved at the two log-like guardians of Jurai and continued to walk on, eager to put some distance from Ryoko and Ayeka.
"Mornings on this planet are so pretty" said Minagi, looking up at the morning sky. By this time, it was around 8:00 AM. The sky was cloudless and was blue. All around the two, birds started to sing.
"Yes, they are" agreed Tenchi.
"So..did you volunteer to be my mom's guinea pig?" asked Minagi.
"Uhh..." said Tenchi. "Washu keeps referring to me as her 'guiena pig' ever since I met her"
Minagi giggled.
"She likes to do experiments on me" said Tenchi. "or...she leaves me tied to the wall for hours while she works on stuff in her lab" (Think Ryoko from "Here Comes Jurai, Part II")
"Really?" asked Minagi. "my mom can be such a..."
"I wouldn't finish that sentance if I were you" said Washu's voice behind them. The two whirled around to see Washu. Right beside Washu, there was an open door in mid-air. The door led to Washu's lab.
"But..how?" asked Tenchi.
"I can move the entrance to my lab to where ever I want" said Washu.
"I thought you were working on your new invention?" asked Tenchi.
"So I am" said Washu, still in her sexy adult body. It was unusual to see Washu as her older self for so long.
"So go back to it" said Minagi. "me and Tenchi would like to be alone"
"I thought you might like to see my latest invention" said Washu. "the invention that allows you to unbirth people"
