I would like to see how some of the more well known authors, as well 
as any other author, would tackle to subject of a Ranma-chan riding on 
the train to.... some destination.

It just so happens I wrote a scene like this in the new story I'm 
working on now. It's Ranko (from "Genma's Daughter") rather than 
Ranma-chan, but in this case I think that's close enough. :-) Ranko is 
age 21 in this story; here is an excerpt from Chapter 2.

Debbie

============================
Ranko fumed as she sat on the number 2 train, waiting to get to 66th 
Street. Like the Tokyo subway, the New York subway went everywhere, was 
convenient, and had a train every few minutes. Unlike the Tokyo subway, 
it looked old, was not terribly clean... and it /smelled/. She wrinkled 
her nose. No men in immaculate uniforms with white gloves dispatching 
trains here.

Also like the Tokyo subway, there was no shortage of guys eager to ogle 
you, or occasionally try to feel your butt. She was very glad she was 
female, but there were some aspects that, to be blunt, sucked. This was 
absolutely number one, even more so than her "monthly visitor," as 
Kasumi-neechan liked to put it.

She noticed that while she was getting the usual number of lewd stares, 
she wasn't getting anything in the way of fondling attempts. She'd 
thought that looking 16 years old would stop the creeps back home, but 
underage girls seemed to be a preferred target if anything. Maybe 
things were different here.

And so she sat, clutching the flimsy plastic bag holding her newly 
purchased answering machine (which, she'd noticed with some amazement, 
cost about half what the same Japanese brand did back home), and 
silently endured four separate guys undressing her with their eyes at 
the same time.

A young man in a business suit sat next to her, rather closer than he 
should have given the empty space on the train; she sighed. He grinned, 
and slid over closer. A moment later, he expelled his breath sharply, 
and slid away, grimacing. Ranko retracted her elbow.
