0730, October 1, 1996 C.E.

	The alarm screamed, and Chris pulled himself out of bed to shut it
off.  He stretched, yawning, and pulled on his blue bathrobe to go take
his shower.

	Five minutes.  An oddly appropriate time ...

	Now clean, he stepped out of the shower, whiped off the mirror,
and began to comb his light brown hair.  He was idly considering trimming
his scraggly beard when he noticed the cute redhead in the Chinese shirt
standing behind him.

	"WHAT THE F-!"

	Ranma-chan grabbed him, pulled him into a headlock, and dragged
him back to his bedroom, where Akane was staring with loathing at the
computer.

	"H-hold it!  Okay, I know the two of you are going after the
fanfic writers who've abused you in the past ..."

	"We've started in on those who are GOING to abuse us in the
future!" Akane hissed.

	"But I haven't!  I mean, won't!  I've no intention of writing any
Ranma fanfics, really!  Straight Sailor Moon, with occasional forays into
Bubblegum Crisis!  Honest!"

	The glares could have melted stone.

	"Biles ratted on me, didn't he?" Chris muttered.

	"Yep."

	"You know about "Together Again For The Very First Time"?"

	"Oh my," Akane said, sounding remarkably like her eldest sister.
"We do indeed.  HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING SO AWFUL TO KASUMI?!!!" she
shrieked, in her normal voice.

	"What's so bad about making her the reincarnation of ..."

	Ranma's hand was clapped over Chris' mouth.  "Don't even say it!"
she hissed.  "That's the lowest thing I've ever heard of ... rewriting a
character's backstory to fit your own twisted needs for intraseries
connections!"

	Had Chris the ability to speak, he might have made some kind of
witicism about Ranma not getting out much, but what with the hand over his
mouth and all ...

	"It took a while ... but we finally figured out the best revenge
for this kind of insanity," Akane spoke with decision.

	"HEY, MINA!  He's ready for you!" they called in unison.

	Minako Aino, better known to some as Mina, and well-known as
Sailor V for Venus, stepped into the room.  But this was not the cheery,
pleasant Mina of Sailor Moon, no no.

	This was Cybermina.

	"I'm back," she said in an oddly Germanic accent, and her eyes
glowed red.

	That was when Chris began to scream.

Chris Davies ... will be unavailable for the next few weeks ... if ever.
