But since Shampoo left, P-Ran never came, so Shampoo didn't leave.  Get

Don't you just hate those alternate timelines?
Look at both Terminator films, how could you build a machine with parts from
a machine which the machine you are trying to build made in the first part
(they suppposedly used the chip from the first terminator to build Skynet)?
There was a similar thing in the first film, the father of the
revoloutionary leader could not have traveled back because there would have
been no revoloution.

To add another one look at Star Trek (TNG), the episode where Enterprise C
comes through a Temporal wormhole (whatever it was called) and Tasha Yar
goes back through led to a number of variations in time.

I know it sounds a little strange, but if you've seen the films you probably
know what I mean. Those theories could only be explained if you belived in
many different reality's and not just one. I've gone off the subject of
Ranma a little.

What my point was that at times all this traveling through time and changing
history can becoming a confusion (depending on what you believe as the
subjects of time travel) and in the story with P-ran the fact that I only
read the last few parts confused me a little more than I should have been. I
did like the fact that the Ranma universe was not changed as so many other
stories have a tendancy to do but, it almost seemed like it was one of those
stories where the character wakes up and it was all just a dream, but it was
good any way.
Well if I've made any mistakes anyone want to correct me?
