Quoting Eric Holdt <dragonboy1098@hotmail.com>:




Opening:  Three days after Ranma and Akane's failed wedding.

(Scene:  Night has fallen over Nerima, Tokyo, and has settled into a 
blissful
peace, its residence grateful for the lack of crazy martial artists,

residents

Jusenkyo victims, vengeance-driven maniacs, and the explosions and
destruction that always followed them.)

(There is only one place in the whole town that isn't joining in the 
serenity
of the cool spring night.  That one place is the Tendo Dojo.  This
wouldn't seem so odd under normal circumstances, as it was normally
one of the focal points for most of the pandemonium that happened in
the town, along with Furinkan High School, the Kuno Mansion, and the
Nekohanten.  Unfortunately, this is not a normal circumstance.)

(Tonight, the Tendo Dojo is on fire.)

(No one knows exactly how the fire got started, as everyone was already
in bed when Kasumi woke up to the smell of smoke.  A quick
investigation told her that the entire first floor of the dojo was already
burning.  After waking everyone and escaping through the second floor
windows with Ranma and Genma's help, the fire department is called.)

OK, script format really isn't working for me, largely because this isn't
really script format.  Script format should have shot descriptions, not
paragraphs of exposition.  


(That had been twenty minutes ago, and now the fire-fighters are
desperately struggling to extinguish the inferno that used to be the
Tendo Dojo.  Several neighbors stand in the street and gaze at the
scene in shock.  A few of them look a little guilty, as well, thinking of 
the
times that they wished for this exact thing to happen in order to end all
the madness that the house seemed to produce.)

(Ranma is awkwardly holding a crying Akane, while Genma and a couple
neighbors are trying to offer their support to the other Tendo's.)

Tendos


(Kasumi's calm, pleasant demeanor has completely vanished, leaving in
its wake a grief-stricken face.)

(Nabiki is fairing just as bad.)

faring just as poorly


(Soun is absolutely beside himself, as he watches on helplessly as the
house that his ancestors had built several decades ago is reduced to
ashes right before his eyes.)

(Finally, the flames die out, leaving the dojo as nothing but a pile of
charred wood, plaster and ash.)

(No one says anything, with the exception of the sobs from the Tendo's.
Nabiki pulls herself together first and pulls out her cell phone and calls
the family insurance agency.  Soun has fallen to his knees and is staring
at the ground, to full of anguish even to cry like everyone is expecting.)

(Ranma just stands in silence as he continues to hold Akane close to him.
As far as he is concerned, his future had just burned up with the dojo,
the dojo he was suppose to inherit and run.)

(One of the neighbor's offers to bring the Tendo's and Saotome's in for

Tendos Saotomes

the night, which they graciously accept.)

gratefully


(Everyone finally gets situated and tries to get a little more sleep,
knowing in reality that sleep isn't going to come.)

Akane:  What are we going to do now, Ranma?

Ranma:  (Takes Akane's hand) I don't know, Akane.  But we'll think of
something.  I know we will.

(And a few blocks away, running through the darkness, a figure grins
triumphantly.)





Two days later...

(Scene:  Ranma and Akane, followed by Kasumi, Nabiki, and Genma in
panda form carrying a still distraught Soun, are walking down a street in
an unfamiliar area of Tokyo, carrying with them what few possessions
they still have left.)

Ranma-chan:  How much further is it?

Akane:  I told you two minutes ago, Ranma, we'll be there in just a few
minutes!

Ranma-chan:  So why do I absolutely _have_ to be in my cursed form?

Nabiki:  Because the place we're going to be staying at is supposed to
be an all girls dorm.  They said they'd let daddy stay there because of

all-girls

Daddy

the trauma he's just been through, but you and your dad will have to
stay in your cursed forms while we're there unless you'd prefer to camp
out every night until the dojo gets rebuilt.

Kasumi:  Perhaps I shouldn't ask this, Nabiki, but how did you manage
to get them to completely rebuild the house for so little money?

Nabiki:   You're right sis, you shouldn't ask.

This is a "gun on the mantlepiece" situation.  Don't bring up the subject of how
Nabiki did it, unless you've either got a joke to go with it, a funny joke, 
or it will have consequences later.  


Ranma-chan:  So you're tellin' me I have to pretend to be a girl for what
could be an entire month?

(Genma-panda hits him over the head with a sign.)

Genma-panda:  [Quit complaining!  At least this way we'll have a place
to stay.]

Ranma-chan:  (Sighs) I guess, and at least I'll have some time away
from Ryoga and Shampoo and the rest of them.

Akane:  Speaking of which, you better not try any of your antics with any
of these women, Ranma.

Ranma-chan:  What antics are you talking about?

Akane:  Just behave yourself!

Ranma:  Hey.  No need to worry.  As long as I'm stuck in girl form my amazing
studliness won't attract any of 'em.  


(Ranma is about to retort when they reach the top of a long set of stone
stairs and a gigantic building comes into view.)

Ranma-chan:  Holy crap!

Nabiki:  (Smiles) Hinata House.  I think this will be just fine.


Chapter 1--Getting Acquainted

(Scene:  The Tendo's and Saotome's are standing {except for Soun,
who is being carried by Genma-panda} outside of a large building,
staring at it in mixed wonder)

Ranma-chan:  (Awe) This place is huge!

Kasumi:  Are you sure we can stay here for free, Nabiki?

Nabiki:  Yep.  Like I said, it's a dorm.  Just have to pay a weekly rent,
and with luck, we shouldn't be here for more than three or four weeks.
Apparently it used to be a hotel for anyone, but the old woman who
owned it decided to take a long vacation and turned it into a dorm for
girls instead.  All the better for us, really.

Ranma-chan:  Speak for yourself.

(Akane is about to start yelling at her when everyone hears a loud crash
from inside the building.  A few seconds later a young man comes
running out the front door, closely followed by several angry looking
women.)

(The Tendo's and Saotome's are too surprised by what is happening to

Do I need to keep mentioning that?  

think of getting out of the way, and as the boy looks behind him to see
how close the women are to him, he plows right into Ranma-chan, and
both topple to the ground in a heap.)

(Ranma-chan shakes her head and tries to get up, but notices that the
boy is still on top of her, with his head buried right in the middle of her
cleavage.)

Ranma-chan:  Hey pal, don't get to cozy there, all right?

(The boy eep's and quickly pushes himself off of Ranma, but he
accidentally pushes off of her breasts, causing him to become more
flustered.)

Boy:  I, it was...didn't mean, I mean, uh-

(The boy's stuttered apology is cut short by a slash of a sword from a
tall, long haired woman, followed by a kick to the face from a young,
dark-skinned gaijin girl, and finally by an uppercut from a brown-haired
girl with glasses which sends him flying straight up and out of sight.)

Nabiki:  (Sigh) Sure brings back memories, don't it?

Ranma:  (Shudders) Yeah, all the painful ones.

Brown-haired Girl:  The nerve of him!  Pulling those perverted stunts
before they can even walk in the door!  (She bows to the Tendo's and
Saotome's)  Sorry about that.  He's usually able to contain himself a
little longer than that before he tries that on someone that he's just met.

Nabiki:  Don't worry about that.  She's used to this kind of thing.

Ranma:  ...

Nabiki:  Anyway, I believe you have a reservation under Tendo?

Brown-haired Girl:  Sorry, I don't know anything about that stuff.

Nabiki:  Could I talk to the owner then?

Fox-faced Girl:  You can when he comes back down.

Akane:  You mean that guy is the owner of this place?

Brown-haired Girl:  Yes, unfortunately.

Akane:  But he looks so young!  And isn't this a girls dorm?

BHG:  Well, he sort of inherited it from his grandmother after she
decided to take a vacation around the world.  He's mostly just a
harmless dork, but you can't let your guard down around him, 'cause
he's a pervert to the highest level.

Akane:  (Whispers to Ranma) You two should get along great.

Ranma-chan: (Pointedly ignoring Akane) (To BHG) Hey, you?

BHG:  Oh, sorry.  My name is Naru Narusegawa.

Ranma-chan:  Naru, you need to take about two steps to the right.

(Naru looks confused, but does as she's told.  A few seconds later the
boy crashes down in the exact spot that she had just been standing.)

Naru:  You jerk!  How dare you try to land on me like that!

Boy:  I'll have you know it's incredibly difficult to decide where you're
going to land when you're flying through the air at a very high velocity!

Nabiki:  Wow, he's still alive.

Ranma-chan:  Are you a martial artist or something?

Ranma would know whether he was a martial artist by how he landed and got up.  


(There is a short silence as the girls glance at one another, then they all
burst into hysterical laughter which lasts a good twenty-five minutes
before dying down.  Then Naru looks down at the boy and snorts,
causing another round of laughter.)

Little Blonde Girl:  Him!?  A martial artist!?  If anything could be farther
from the truth, I'd like to hear it!

Sword-Wielding Woman:  I'll have you know that this is the most
unmasculine man you'll ever meet.

Akane:  (Stares at Ranma) I don't know about that.

Ranma-chan:  Oh, shut up!

Boy:  (Picks himself up and turns to Nabiki) So, are you the ones who
made the reservations?

Nabiki:  That's right.

Boy:  Well then, as the landlord, allow me to welcome you to Hinata
House.  I'm Keitaro Urashima.

Naru:  I'm Naru.

Fox-faced Girl:  You can call me Kitsune.

Young Shy Girl:  He-hello, I'm Shinobu.

Sword Woman:  I am Motoko.

Little Blonde Girl:  Yo, I'm Sarah.

Dark-skinned Gaijin:  And I'm Su!

Ranma-chan:  Well uh, I'm Ranma Saotome.

Akane:  I'm Akane.

Nabiki:  Nabiki.

Kasumi:  And I'm Kasumi.  It's a pleasure to meet you all.

Kitsune:  (Points to Soun and Genma-panda) What about those two?

Kasumi:  The man is our father, and the panda is the family pet.

Keitaro:  Well, if you're going to keep the panda inside you might need
to put a leash on him.

Genma-panda:  ...

Ranma-chan:  (Smirks) I think we'll do that.

Kitsune:  (To Akane) Not to sound weird or anything, but your dad
wouldn't happen to be a pervert or anything, would he?

Akane:  What!?

Kitsune:  Well, he will be staying in an all girls dorm, and we've already
got one pervert to worry about.  We can't take to many chances.

Akane:  (Shakes her head) I don't think it's my dad that you'll have to
worry about.

Ranma-chan:  (Angry) Will you shut up, Akane!?

Akane:  (More angry) Don't tell me to shut up, you insensitive jerk!

Ranma-chan:  Then quit insinuating that I'm a pervert, you uncute,
sexless tomboy!

POW!!

Sarah:  Wow!  Look at that distance!

Motoko:  She could give Naru a run for her money.

Keitaro:  (Sweatdrops) Where did that hammer come from?

Kasumi:  Oh dear, I hope he makes it back in time for lunch.

Keitaro:  Well, uh, what do you say we get you guys unpacked and
settled in, and then we can get better acquainted?

Naru:  What do you mean, 'get better acquainted', hmm?

Keitaro:  Eh?  No wait, I didn't mean like-

Su:  Ooohh, Keitaro's a perv!

Keitaro:  It's not like that!  I just meant-

Motoko:  (Pulls out her katana) Die, Urashima!

Keitaro:  Aaahhh!  Help me!

(Keitaro runs off with the Hinata girls on his tail.)

You know, Ranma probably wouldn't just watch as a someone attacked a non-martial
artist with a katana.  In fact that's just the kind of situation that tends to 
get him into duels with people.  


Akane:  (To Nabiki)  Are you sure we're not still in Nerima?


Okayama, Japan...

(Scene:  A figure is wandering in the distance.  As the camera moves
forward, we see that it is Ryoga Hibiki, sulking along in his patented
'black-aura-why-me-oh-Akane-my-love' mode.)

Ryoga:  How could I have been so stupid?  The point of stopping the
wedding was because I wanted another chance at Akane, but after that
kind of stunt she'll never want to see me again.  Why couldn't I just stick
with Akari?  I could have been perfectly happy with her, but instead I
choose Akane, who I know I'll never get, so in the end I just end up with
no one.

??? :  Hello there.

(Ryoga turns to see a young man, about the same age as him, with
short, spiky black hair.  Now that he has snapped back to reality, Ryoga
looks around him and notices that he standing next to a large building
surrounded by a thick forest.)

Boy:  Welcome to the Masaki Shrine.

Ryoga:  Uh, could you tell me...where I am, exactly?

Boy:  You're at the Masaki Shrine in Okayama.  Are you lost?

Ryoga:  Well, not really.  I mean, I don't really know where I am, but I
don't really have anywhere to go either, so I'm just kind of wandering, I
guess.

Boy:  I see.  Well, if you need a place to stay, you're welcome to stay
here for as long as you need.

Um...  Ryoga's not a cute alien chick, and is no particular distress, and hasn't 
helped Tenchi out of some kind of jam...so why the invite?  


Ryoga:  Really?  I-I mean, I wouldn't want to impose or anything...

Boy:  Oh it's really no problem.  We've got plenty of room.  You'll just
have to put up with my housemates.  They can get kind of crazy
sometimes.

Ryoga:  (Laughs) I'm sure you and I have very different ideas of what
crazy is.  I'm Ryoga, by the way.

Boy:  (Shakes Ryoga's hand) Pleasure to meet you.  I'm Tenchi.

(The two boys walk back to Tenchi's.)

Ryoga:  So what are these housemates of yours like?

Tenchi:  (Grins sheepishly) Well uh, actually...they're all kind 
of...aliens.

Tenchi would not volunteer that information.


Ryoga:  (Blinks twice) What?

Tenchi:  Heheh, yeah.  See, first there's Ryoko, who's the most wanted
space pirate in the universe.  Then there's Ayeka and Sasami, they're
the princesses of Planet Jurai.  Then there's Mihoshi and Kiyone, who
work for the Galaxy Police Department.  And last is Washu, the self-
proclaimed greatest scientist in the universe.  I'm actually part Jurian
myself.

Ryoga:  You're ... kidding, right?

Tenchi:  Nope.  It's pretty strange though, how they all end up on Earth
here in Japan, and then they all end up in my house.

Ryoga:  I gotta see this.  Of all the stupidly crazy things I've seen in my
life, aliens haven't been one of them.

(They reach the house and see half a dozen women in the front yard.
Three of them, one with dark green hair, one with bluish-grey hair, and
one with purple hair, are sunbathing in swimsuits, one of them a little
more revealing than the others.  Another woman with blonde hair and
tanned skin is chasing around a small furry creature that Ryoga had to
guess was some kind of rabbit.  Another woman with pink hair is fiddling
around with a large device that looked like it might have been some kind
of death ray, and a younger girl with green hair is sweeping the
sidewalk.)

Ryoga: (Awe-struck) T-that's them?

Tenchi:  Yep, that's them.

Ryoga:  (Gulp) Wow, who'd have thought that aliens could look like that!

Tenchi:  Huh?

Ryoga: ...Uh, n-nothing!

Tenchi:  Hey, it's-ack!

Grey Haired Woman:  (Squeezing the life out of Tenchi) Tenchi!
Welcome home, did you miss me?

Grey?  I thought her hair was light blue.  


Tenchi:  Ry-ok-o, not...so...tight!

Ryoko:  But Tenchi darling, it's been so lonely here without yo-hurk!

(Hands suddenly appear around Ryoko's throat.)

Purple Haired Girl:  Get your hands off Lord Tenchi, you hussy!

Ryoko:  Lay off, Princess Pain-In-The-Ass!  As Tenchi's lover I can do
whatever I want with him.

Ayeka:  You are not Lord Tenchi's lover!  Tenchi doesn't even like you!
He only puts up with you because he's to bighearted to throw you out!

Ryoko:  You'd better take that back, you royal whore!

(The women begin fighting and Tenchi turns back to Ryoga.)

Tenchi:  You okay, Ryoga?  You're shivering.

Ryoga:  N-no, I'm fine.  Just, I don't know...deja vu or something.

Tenchi:  Well, let me introduce you to the others.  They're less
dangerous.

(They walk past Ryoko and Ayeka, who are scratching, choking, and
energy blasting each other, and up to the others.)

Sasami:  Welcome home, Tenchi.

Kiyone:  Who's the new guy?

Tenchi:  Hi everyone.  This is Ryoga.  He doesn't have anywhere to go
so he's gonna stay with us for a while.  Anyone object?

(No one does.)

Kiyone:  Nice to meet you, Ryoga.

Sasami:  (Bows) Yes, very nice to meet you, Ryoga.

(Ryoga smiles and bows back to her.)

Mihoshi:  Hi, I'm Mihoshi, Kiyone and me are partners in the Galaxy
Police.

Kiyone:  (Mumbles several obscene words under her breath)

Ryoga:  Hi, Mihoshi.  (Looks at the rabbit thing on her head) What is that
thing on your head?

Mihoshi:  There's something on my head?!  Eeek!  Get it off!  Get it off!

Kiyone:  Will you settle down, you idiot!  It's just Ryo-oh-ki.

(Ryo-oh-ki hops down from Mihoshi's head and sniffs at Ryoga.  Ryoga
slowly bends down and picks it up.)

Ryoga:  What is this thing?  Some kind of rabbit?

Ryo-oh-ki:  Myah!

Ryoga:  (Bewildered) Did this thing just meow at me?

Sasami:  (Laughing) Silly!  Ryo-oh-ki isn't a rabbit.  She's a cabbit.

Ryoga:  Eh?

(The pink-haired woman suddenly appears before the Lost Boy.)

PHG:  A cabbit, little boy, is a crossbreed between a rabbit and a cat,
created by yours truly, the great and brilliant Washu!  Hahahahahah!

(Two small puppets appear on Washu's shoulders)

Puppet 1:  Washu is the greatest!

Puppet 2:  The greatest mind in the universe!

Ryoga:  (Sweatdrops)

Kiyone:  So what's your story, Ryoga?

Ryoga:  Huh?

Kiyone:  I mean, what made you decide to come here?

Ryoga:  (thinks about Ranma, Akane and the wedding) I just...well, there's
been a lot of things going wrong with my life lately, so I thought I'd 
travel a
while and maybe start a new life or something.

Sasami:  So why did you come to Okayama?

Ryoga:  I actually didn't come here on purpose.  I've just been wandering
around Japan for the last five days and this is the first place I've ended 
up.

Tenchi:  Five days?

Sasami:  You must be hungry, huh?

Ryoga:  (Mentally drools at the thought of a real meal)  Well actually, I 
haven't-

Mihoshi:  You're probably thirsty, too.  (She holds up a glass of ice water)
Here, want some?

(Mihoshi steps forward, and being Mihoshi, trips over nothing and splashes
the water in Ryoga's stunned face.  Ryoga instantly shrinks and vanishes 
into
his clothes, emerging a moment later as a rather irritated P-chan.)

P-chan:  (Indignantly) BWEE!

(There is a long silence, disturbed only by Ryoko and Ayeka's brawling.
Tenchi is speechless.  The women are speechless.  Even the puppets
on Washu's shoulders are speechless.  P-chan nervously stares up at them.
Finally, Tenchi says something intelligible.)

Tenchi:  He's...a pig.

Kiyone:  He is...isn't he?

P-Chan:  (Thinking) Great, I finally meet some nice people and now
they'll think I'm a freak.  Why does this always happen to me!?

Sasami:  He's so cute!

P-Chan:  Bwee?

(Sasami picks up the stunned pig and holds him out to the others.)

Sasami:  Look, isn't he adorable?

Kiyone:  He does make a pretty cute little pig.

Mihoshi:  Let me hold him!  Let me hold him!

P-Chan:  (Thinking) Well I'm happy, and yet...somehow slightly insulted.

Washu:  This is amazing!  Involuntary shape-shifting!  Ryoga, hurry up
and change back to human so I can start running tests.

Everyone watches in silence as P-Chan begins waving his arms around.

Tenchi:  Hmm, so how do you change back?

Mihoshi:  (Holds up a glass of water) More water?

P-Chan shakes his head and squirms out of Sasami's hands.  He starts
using his front hoof to write letters in the dirt.  He quickly spells out 
HOT,
and then points a hoof at Mihoshi's glass.

Tenchi:  Um...hot water, maybe?

P-Chan: (Holds up a small sign with a bulls-eye symbol on it.) BWEE!

Sasami:  I'll get some!

(The young girl runs into the house and returns moments later with a
kettle of hot water.  She starts to pour it onto P-Chan, but he jumps
away before it touches him.)

Sasami:  What's the matter?

(P-Chan points over to his pile of clothes.)

Sasami:  (Blushes) Oh, I see.  Well then, Tenchi can do it and the rest of
us will just look away, okay?

(P-Chan nods in agreement.  Tenchi pours the water over him and Ryoga
returns to human and dresses quickly.)

Tenchi:  Okay, he's decent now.

The girls turn back around.

Washu:  So, why exactly did you turn into a pig?

Ryoga:  (Bows his head in shame) I...I'd really rather not talk about it.

Washu:  (Pleading) Oh come on now, tell me, tell me, tell me!  Don't
deprive me the opportunity to learn more about this.  Just tell me
about it, and if it's some kind of bad thing, maybe I can get rid of it for
you.

(Ryoga runs up and lifts Washu off the ground.)

Ryoga:  Are you serious!?  You could really rid me of the pig!?

Washu:  Perhaps, I am the greatest scientist in the universe, after all.
But I would need you to explain how you got it in the first place and
how it's affecting you.

(Ryoga drops Washu and the others lean in to listen to him.)

Ryoga:  Well, a little over a year ago, I was chasing...an old enemy of
mine around China, and I ended up in a place called Jusenkyo.  Have
you heard of the place?

Washu:  Can't say I have.

Tenchi:  Nope.

Kiyone:  Me neither.

Sasami:  Sorry.

Mihoshi:  Jusen-what?

Ryoga:  (Sighs) Well anyway, it's a place fills with springs, and each
spring has a curse on it, that whenever someone falls into one of them,
they take the form of whatever it was that drowned in it.  And...the guy I
was chasing knocked me into the Spring of Drowned Baby Pig.

Everyone:  Gasp!

Ryoga:  Now, every time I get splashed with cold water, I turn into a little
black pig.

Kiyone:  Wow, you must have a pretty interesting life, huh?

Ryoga:  (Incredulously) You guys...you don't think I'm a...a freak?

Kiyone:  (Laughs) Hon, I work with the Galaxy Police.  I've seen freaks,
and you're definitely not what I would consider a freak.

Mihoshi:  Yeah, besides, you're way too cute to be a freak.

Ryoga blushes.

Mihoshi:  Now, if you turned into some kind of huge, ugly cow monster
with wings or octopus tentacles or something, then you'd be a freak.


(Somewhere in China, Pantyhose Taro sneezes.)


Ryoga:  (With tears in his eyes) Wow, you guys are-

Ryoko:  TAKE THIS!!

(Everyone turns to see Ryoko fire a large red energy orb at Ayeka, who
creates a blue barrier around herself and deflects the orb.  Unfortunately,
it bounces back and sails right toward Ryoga and the others.)

Ryoko:  Tenchi!

Ayeka:  Sasami!

(Tenchi and the girls watch in horror as the orb races toward them.  Then,
Ryoga appears in front of them, glowing black.)

Tenchi:  Ryoga-?

Ryoga:  SHI-SHI HOKUDAN!!

(A black ball of ki flies from Ryoga's hands.  It engulfs Ryoko's orb and
continues forward.  Ryoko and Ayeka barely get out of the way as it
crashes through the nearby trees and disappears from sight.)

Ayeka:  (Stunned) My word.

Ryoko:  (Very stunned) Holy hell!

(Ryoga turns back to the others, all of whom share expressions very
similar to Ayeka and Ryoko's.)

Ryoga:  Are...you all okay?

Tenchi:  Uh, I...think so.

Kiyone:  How did you do that!?  Ryoko's one of the only people I know
that can fire energy blasts like that.

Ryoko:  Yeah, what is up with that, kid!?  I put a ton of power into that
blast, and yours stopped mine like it was nothing!  How did you do it!?

Ryoko would not have put a ton of power in that blast because if she did, 
Ayeka would be dead.  


Ryoga:  W-well, it's just that...that blast that I used is powered by
depression.  And when I saw that you guys might get hurt...I just, well, I
got upset, I guess.

(Ayeka walked forward and bowed deeply to Ryoga.)

Ayeka:  Sir, you have my deepest gratitude for protecting Lord Tenchi
and my little sister.

Ryoga:  (Flustered) Uh, it wasn't... I mean I was just...well uh, y-you're
welcome.

Washu:  Incredible!  Involuntary shape-shifting, fighting techniques
powered by emotion!  Oh, I'm going to have so much fun studying you!

Tenchi:  Uh, maybe that can wait a while.  Right now, why don't we
head inside and we can talk more there?

Ryoko flies over and clings to Tenchi.

Ryoko:  Oh Tenchi, please forgive me for what happened.  I promise I'll
make it up to you if you let me!

(Ryoga suddenly envisions Ryoko with blue hair and a Chinese accent.)

Ayeka:  Don't you ever learn, you space-trash!?

(Ryoga then envisions Ayeka with a long ponytail and a giant spatula
across her back.)

That's kind of funny.  


(Ryoko sticks her tongue out at Ayeka and flies off, with Ayeka right
behind her.)

Ryoga:  (Thinking) I wonder if I'm not really still in Nerima.


(Scene:  An unknown part of Tokyo.  A boy walks inconspicuously
down the street, or tries to at least.  It's hard to be inconspicuous
when you have flaming orange hair and are wearing a metallic-orange
shirt and black jeans.  The boy walks into a phone booth and dials a
number.

Boy:  (Quietly) Hey...yeah, it's gone, so I'm done here now, right?
...No, I didn't kill any of them...no, I didn't maim any of them...
(Exasperated) No, I didn't strike fear into their hearts by displaying to
them my amazing and unbeatable fighting skills...(Sarcastically) oh sorry,
fighting _skillz_.  Look, the dojo's gone, isn't that...(Frantic) OKAY
OKAY!  I'll do it, but for the love of God, don't tell The Story again!

If he has no personal motive for burning down the dojo, why was he grinning?
