Okay, so with it being vacation time and all, I was watching Too Much
Television (a very popular thing to do here) and then I got this idea..
Y'see, I was watching the Odd Couple, anybody remember the movie or the
television series? Y'know, the neat freak and the total slob that were
kicked out by their wives and ended up sharing an apartment?
Well, there was the concept...
Now for a fanfic who'd make a good "Odd Couple"
Hm...
Idea 1: Sick of their continuous bickering, Aeka and Ryoko are thrown out
by Tenchi's dad.... hm... or maybe Tenchi... somebody...
Idea 2: Ryoga, revealed as P-Chan, gets booted out of the Tendo home. Mousse,
thwarting another attempt by Cologne at drugging Ranma, gets tossed out of
the Nekohanten.
Idea 3: Ryu ("The fight is all") and party machine Ken settle down somewhere,
maybe in their younger years in training. High potential for violence.
In general, a supporting cast of buddies to play cards with is a must. So is
the occasional ruined date. And most of all, personality conflicts.
I'm kinda trying to develop idea 2 at the moment, but since I haven't seen
that much anime, I wouldn't be surprised if there were better odd couples
out there (er.. anybody in the BGC universe? Sailor Moon? Um... forget I
said Sailor Moon...)
