I have an idea for a ranma fiction series of about thirty stories.  How 
does this sound.

1)  Ranma and Akane meet the same way they did in the manga.

        I'd change this a little bit if I were you....maybe tone down
Akane's anger towards Ranma, so that no.2 below can fit in nicely.  Your
enemy doesn't pull you into the Dojo for a private conversation...read on.

2)  The difference occurs when Ranma and Akane are about to start 
arguing.  Ranma pulls her out to the Dojo for a private conversation.

        *Private* conversation?  Or _private_ conversation?  Dare I say a
hint of lemon floating somewhere in the air....?

3)  After Ranma and Akane leave the next morning, they skip classes and 
go shopping.

        Ranma goes shopping?  Perhaps in his girlform, right?

4)  Nabiki tells Kuno that Akane was probably somewhere with her fiance 
Ranma.

5)  Ranma gets a check-up from Dr. Tofu while Akane makes special 
arrangements over the phone with the school.

        What arragements?

6)  That afternoon, Akane arrives at school with a girl beside her.  Kuno 
goes to confront them and ask about Ranma, saying that Ranma is not 
worthy of Akane.

7)  Ranma, standing beside Akane gets angry and tells Kuno off.

8)  Kuno is stunned as Akane's fiancee is another girl.

        Sounds like what Kirin did in the first movie....

        "Y-you lie.  You can't be her fiancee", said a confused Kirin.  

        Ranma-chan's eyes flashed with a dangerous light and she stood a
little straighter, and puffed her chest out, and retorted, "Oh yeah, what
makes you think I'm not her fiancee?!"

        "You're a...woman."

        "Huh? I'm..I have...."  Ranma-chan stared in shock at her chest.

        Akane glared at Ranma-chan.  "Baka!"

What do you think?

        If this is a retake on Ranma 1/2 part 1, but with a different plot
direction, then by all means go ahead.  Just don't do a rehash of the manga, ok?

"The beginings of wisdom is the ability to always ask questions."

        What's with these philosophical quotes?  Here's one of mine.

 "Looking down from my pinnacle, I see many others struggling to reach the
top.  Looking up from my pinnacle, I see many others looking down at me."
