I'm still trying to determine, whether Nabiki was actually sincere
about her lecture in last episode (What she said certainly made
sense) or if she's just trying to milk Ranma.

Quite possibly both. :)
 

: Ranma: Yup. Dogs, bears, elephants....
: 
: Akane: Cats....

: Ranma: (turning pale) No, I don't think I'd have to go after cats. I 
: mean, not cats....

Gah!  *Now* it makes sense.  I was wondering how you would bring
Felix into the story, and the new job was puzzling me, but I didn't
make the connection.  D'oh, me STUPID!

 
I almost pity them. *evilgrin*
 

: Akane: (irritated) It was only a tiny portal. And the chanting 
: wasn't _that_ ominous...

Hmm, I dunno whether this is still as funny the second time around.

Old dog. Still hunts.
 

: (The titanic sneeze blows much of the powder back into Kuno & 
: Kodachi's shocked faces. Both pairs freeze, staring at each other. 
: The stares, however, quickly fade to dreamy expressions of

Wheeeee!  Kunou & Nabiki (I *loved* that dig at the Kunou-Nabiki
school of pairing, in the last part), Kodachi & Kasumi!
Waaahahaha!

It's not that I dislike Kuno/Nabs fics; there have been some excellent
ones. I just don't think they're a realistic couple.

No, wait:  Kodachi -> Kasumi -> Kunou -> Kodachi!

Yesssss!

*blink*
 

: Akane: I'm joking, Ukyo. Of course he isn't. Right, Ranma?

I can't *wait* 'til she tries that "joke" on Ryouga.

"Isn't that funny, Ryouga-kun?  What are you doing with that tanto
blade?"

(Mike falls out of his chair laughing, and considers stealing that line.
:) 
 

: (Ukyo gives a strangled yelp, jumps up, and spatulates the chair 
: into the kitchen.)

Um, funny as hell, yes, but can you picture Ukyou taking Tsubasa as
a waiter in her restaurant?

*shrug* She takes Konatsu. Besides, if yer gonna have a lovestruck
transvestite following you around, you might as well make money off him.
;)
 

: Ukyo: (grimly) I'm going to kill him one of these days. Ranma, you 
: don't know what it's like having a crossdressing lunatic obsessed 
: with you, constantly doing bizzare things to gain your attention.. 
: ..Akane, why are you giggling?

Bwaaaahahaaaa!  I *love* ironic digs like this.

*grin*

: (Scene changes to a rather comfortable, if high-tech, room. 
: Around a table sit a rather odd assortment of people; a man in a 
: weatherbeaten black trenchcoat, another man with long black hair 
: and penetrating eyes, a robed girl with a mallet and a queer mark 
: on her forehead, a half cat/half something girl, and a grinning 
: fellow in a black uniform and cloak.)

In-joke alert!  :)

Yup. The cameo is actually a fairly accurate depiction of what goes on. ;)

: Ranma: (turning) You washed it? Why didn't Kasumi...
: 
: Nabiki: We haven't seen her today. I think she went off early this 
: morning to buy food.

Or chasing after someone.

K: "Oh, Kodachi darling..."

K: "Leave me alone, wench!  Tatewaki, brother, love, don't you see
    we are pefect for each other?  We even live together already."
K: "Oh, Akane, Kasumi and the Pigtail Girl!  How can I ever choose?
    I will date all thre of you!!"

(Mike falls out of his chair laughing for the second time.)

Um, sorry. Getting carried away.

Anyway, I loved this.  Again.  As ususal.  More.

Okay. :)
