Okay, so it's not verbatim. ^_^ Anyway, what if Dr. Beckett accidently
crosses over the boundary of our universe into that of anime? Which series
would he enter? Which characters would he become? What would Ziggy say he
has to do to leap? Would someone attempt to bap Al with a Hyperdimensional
Hammer, only to have it pass right through him? Is Sam capable of
producing a large sweat drop on the back of his head? You decide!

Possible choices that Al (the bartender from the last episode, not Sam's
friend) would certainly enjoy:

-First off:

	Sam wakes up, feeling a strange pain on his head. He looks into a
nearby puddle of water, finding the picture of a cute redhaired girl
with Chinese clothes. As he ponders about the large bump on his head,
and the mallet beside him, he hears, "Nihao!"
	"Ugh!" Sam is flattened by a bycicle that seemed to drop from thin air.
"What the..." he starts.
	"Ranma go on date with Shampoo?" a girl with long purple hair asks him,
pouring hot water on him.
	"Ow! What are you doing?" he involuntarily turns back to the puddle,
and stares into the image of a black-haired young man.
	"Oh, boy..."
	Much later, Al finally arrives.
	"Where the heck were you?" Sam asks. "You can't believe the troubles
I've already gotten into! Nearly half of Tokyo is engaged to me, there's
some kid with a bandanna that wants to kill me, and I don't even know
whom I leapt into, since I change every time I get wet!"
	Al has been peacefully pushing buttons on his remote control. "Okay,
you are Ranma Saotome, you are nearly seventeen years old, an expert
martial artist and... Oh, boy..."
	"What?"
	"You have two official fiancées, one self-appointed, crazed girlfriend,
and an Amazon is also after you..." he pauses for an instant, "This guy
has seen more action than me!" He punches anothe button, "OH BOY..."
	"What now?"
	"You are also an aquatranssexual."
	Both of them join in a single phrase of utter shock: "O H  B O Y ! ! !
"

-Next...

	Sam finds himself in sheer agony. He vainly tries to stand up, but his
electrocuted body must have received too much energy from that last
leap. As he struggles to his knees, he stares at the angry mob of
Japanese highshool students scowling at him. He is about to say his
famous words when...
	"Darling!" a flying girl with horns, green hair and a bikini
electrocutes him once more.
	"Oh, boy..."


-Or...
	
	Sam opens his eyes to find he has been shot in the chest. He gasps
immediately, but suddenly a wicked-looking young woman thrusts a sharp
spear into his thigh. Sam cries out, but when he pulls the weapon out of
his flesh, he stares wide-eyed as the wound closes before his eyes.
	"I should have known," the woman says, picking up a broadaxe, "You have
eaten Mermaid's Flesh."
	"Oh, boy."


-And...

	"What the..." Sam becomes aware of his new host: a cloyingly cute
blonde with two long ponytails, wearing a sailor suit.
	"Serena?" a black cat asks him.
	"Oh boy..."

-(Jeeze, I better stop AnBril from writing that stuff. That SailorMoon
crossover gave me the creeps).


-Afterwards...

	"Yo, flyboy," Sam hears someone call. "Hey Ladat, you awake in there?"
	Sam climbs out of bed, feeling incredibly tired (who wouldn't be after
having to put up with that much sugar from SM.) He couldn't recognize
his surroundings, but he quickly finds what he believed to be the
bathroom. Looking in the mirror, he groggily stares at the young man,
perhaps in his twenties.
	"You better dress up for that photo session today," another young man,
probably a roomate, tells him while petting his cat.
	"Photo session?"
	"You know,where they take pictures of you. Man, you'd think that
Oneamano's first astronaut would be more alert."
	"Astronaut?" Sam choked, "Oh boy!"


-Finally...

	Sam looked forward. He nearly fell off balance as he realized he was
standing on the wing of an airplane. On the other end, there was a blond
man, with a look of sheer rage in his face. There were no reflecting
surfaces, so he had to look down at himself. He was a massive man,
wearing a red uniform and a black cape. His hands were still glowing
from some sort of strange energy.
	"Damn you!" he heard the man call.
	"Wait..." Sam tried, but the man was already gathering electricity
between his palms.
	"Damn you, Vega (Bison for American fans)! Ha-do-ken!"
	"Oh my GOD!"
