Tenchi's eye's brightened up. Machines were one of his favorite subjects, cause he always liked to tinker around with them.<br/>"Well, you see, my mother is a dragon, and like any dragon, she has a treasure horde down in the basement. I was rooting through it one day for spring cleaning, and I found an old machine form some lost civilization. She told me that it was a transporter of some kind, but it had long since broken by the time she had found it."<br/><br/>Tenchi was a bit embarrassed by this next part. She didn't want her to think he was some kind of nerd.<br/>"Well, you see, I like to tinker around with machines, so I decided to fix it. And the result of my first test of it, as you can see, was a bit of a failure. Not only did I completely miss my original target, but I lsot some of my self along the way."<br/><br/>He was now pacing back and forth on her soft belly, doing some calculations in his head.<br/>"Its ok though. You probably haven't noticed, but i've grown 10th of an inch since i got here. Since most of my matter was lost, its sort of taking awhile for it to "find me". If this keeps up, I should be back to normal by..."<br/><br/>He looks at the clock next to her bed.<br/>".... about noon tomorrow or later. Damn, I probably seem like some kind of geek or nerd to you, don't I? My sisters say thats probably the reason why I have so few friends."
