What happened to episodes 2 - 5, some might ask, if they >cared, and they 
would rightly be confused.  TO be blunt, 2-5 is my own >version of the 
events of the manga, with little enough difference from >the original to 
be considered true fanfiction.  I only wrote it to get >into a writing 
style, and to let the poor unfortunate souls who had never >seen the 
Skating pair episodes to know where this Mikado guy came >from.  :)  The 
only thing different are cut scenes to Mikado and co, as >opposed to Ranma 
and co.  ^_^  If you truly want to read those, you can >check out my web 
page (addy in my sig).  

	I cheaked the stories, another thing you did was change the chronology 
so that the events took place at the time the Anime episode aired, rather than 
before Shampoo's initial arival like it was supposed to.  This had the effect of 
artificially improving the skill of the Golden Pair since the Ranma who had 
faced Colougne and learned the Tenshin Amaguriken was dramatically faster and 
stronger than the one who had faced the golden pair by official chronology.  Oh, 
and Mikado's eyes were open and staring in the manga, it WAS him who got hit 518 
times.
	Just a few comments.
