The promised side story to Playfair.
You should not need to read that story to understand this one though.

 
	Hmmm... in Playfair it is regular Akane into Ranmaish Akane, and this
is Ranmaish Akane into regular Akane, right?

        "Let me guess.  You were born a boy, but on a trip to China, you
fell into a cursed pool.  Ever since you turn into a girl when doused
with cold water."
        "yeah, but--"
        "Welcome to the club.  So this is your first time on a parallel
world, huh?"
        "Pa-ra-re-ru Wa-a-ru-do?"  Ranma briefly explained the multiple
Earths theory.
        "Apparently, the more bizarre your life is already, the more
likely you are to cross over every so often.  I've done it five or six
times now, depending whether you count alternate futures."

	I like that part.  Is this suppose to be satire?  

        The sound of splashes and giggling awoke him.  That was Akane's
giggling!  She was back to normal.  Ranma grinned as he got up to greet
her.  The other Akane had been fun for a day, but he was glad to have his
own Akane back.  Maybe, just maybe this time he'd be able to say "I love
you."

 
	I like the ending.  This is a very funny story.  I sort of find it
uncomfortable to have Akane talking like Ranma, but that's okay.  Good
old Akane, always there when Ranma needs her.  ^_^

Author's Note:  Since I originally wrote this story, I have learned
there is a chapter in the manga that shows Ryouga's home, if not his home
life.  Still waiting to actually see it before writing "what Akane does
to Ryouga when she gets back."

 
	Ryouga doesn't have much of a home life to speak of.  His parents share
the same traits and they'll be lucky if even two of them are at home at
once.  

SKJAM!
"What if...everyone in the Ranmaverse woke up one morning with common sense?"

	Simple.  Ranma and Akane loves each other, Ryouga gets seriously beat
up, if not killed, by Akane.  Kunou goes insane after realizing the
truth about the 'pig-tailed girl'.  Kodachi is taken to the hospital. 
Ryouga still cannot decide whether he likes Akari or Akane better. 
Shampoo gives up on Ranma and ends up with Mousse.  Ukyou stays around
and I have no idea who she will end up with.
