Also, could you repost who is who and from which 
universe and all that again?

	This story takes place in the world of Tachi Kuno #3, the one who 
traveled through time.  She's the daughter of Nabiki and Kuno.
	Ranko Saotome is her best friend.  Ranko is cursed to turn into a 
boy when doused with cold water.
	Ran Hibiki is the son of Ryoga and Akari.  He gets mentioned a 
lot, but is never seen.  He's Ranko's fiance (apparently Ranma learned 
nothing as a teenager); she and Tachi often refer to Ran as a pig.
	Bell(dandy)-chan is the daughter of Kasumi and Doc Tofu.  She has 
at least one cross-time counterpart (Ryo Saotome of D&I world #2 is 
engaged to his copy).  Imagine Kasumi crossed with Belldandy (which 
shouldn't be that hard).
	Ryuunosuke and Shun are the daughter and son of Ukyou and 
Konatsu, but if you looked at them you'd think it should be the other way 
around...
	Mister Humphries, Captain Peacock, and Young Mister Grace belong 
to another place and time entirely, but I couldn't resist giving them a 
much-deserved cameo.
