Well, I used to have one in the works... A sort of "flash-forward" in which
Ranma and Akane marry, then spend their honeymoon in Hokkaido during the winter
(this was important.) They stayed at a villa. During a trip to the nearby town,
for groceries, Ranma received a latecoming wedding present from Shampoo and
Mousse --Nannichuan water. He goes back to the cabin, all excited, but then Akane
comes back and asks for him to place the groceries on the shelves while she takes
a bath. Unfortunately, Ranma put the Nannichuan water in the bath's pail...
Eventually, Akane calms down enough for Ranma to explain that he still loves her,
but that she should better watch out for cold water or they'd look _odd_. But the
next day, a trmendous blizzard isolates the entire hotel, leaving the villas with
only cold water, no phone, and no other means of communication... Ranma and Akane
are married... One thing leads to the other...
When they finally come back to Nerima, they go to Dr. Tofu's as soon as they
arrive. Akane's pregnant. So is Ranma. But he can still change to male form,
because the embryo is still too small. However, Tofu warns Ranma that after a few
weeks he won't be able to change back (for obvious reasons.)
And so, the months pass, Genma, Soun and Nodoka pass _out_, and finally, both
Ranma and Akane have their babies at exactly the same time. The story would have
ended with the first cry of a boy and a girl. But, as I said, I completely tossed
that idea into the garbage. I might retake it, though... (evil grin)
