Subject: re fan fic Namida

Just read your fic last night made me sad.
I have allways felt that of all the characters in the Ranma stories Ucchan
is the one that got screwed over the worst.

And then Mrs. Takahashi went and near the end of the manga introduced
Akare so now we can't even hook her up with  Ryoga and stay true to her
vision of the story.

Well after reading your fic the other night and then thinking all day
about the world I am building in my head to place my lemon fanfic in I came
up with this.

Before you flame me let me go over my reasoning.

Ucchan will never be happy with any guy but Ranma.
We can't kill off Akane without making it a one shot story. And I didn't
spend the last two days constructing an entire alternate Ranmaverse for a
one shot.

Ucchan loves Ranma but why she spent years hunting him down to do him
sever harm after only knowing him at best a couple of months when they were
children. When she found him it seemed she went from hatred to love in one
step. Ucchan seems to be operating on an idea of the way she should behave. 

When she hated Ranma she gave her whole life to the idea.

When she decided she loved him she gave everything she had to that idea.

Did she ever stop and think why she wanted him or was it just something to
aim at.

Now what If she was put into the company of someone she didn't really like
for a long period of time. Give them shared danger and a chance to lower the
walls that they have both built up around themselves. Get them away from the
expectations of society with only each other to turn to for confort.


Ranma sat reading the postcard from his mother sipping on his morning
coffee. His mother and father with Mr. Tendo and the new Mrs. Tendo
Hinako-sensi were enjoying themselves in disnyland. Even tho Hinako was
cured and now looked her proper age she still looked at the world like a
child sometimes. Ranma's mother was saying how she had dragged Mr. Tendo to
see the beauty and the beast and he had cried all thru it. 

A slight sound from the kitchen door made him turn and his eyes opened in
surprise as Ucchan came out dressed in pyjamas and holding a cup of coffee.
Leaping across the room he swept her up in a hug. "Ucchan when did you get
back from Tokyo? Why didn't you wake me up?" "You and Akane were both asleep
and we got in real late." "How did the meeting go did the bankers go for
it." "Great and yes this time next year there will be Ucchans from one end
of the island to the other. The Franchise has allready sold 50 restaraunt
package deals." "Thats great we need to have a celebration." Ucchan smiles
but says "Not today tho we got in late and were tired we sort of planed to
have our own little celebration before things got too busy and we don't have
the time."

"We just came down to get some food and coffee. Going to need a lot of
energy you know." Giving Ranma a wink. Walking into the kitchen we hear her
say."Lets go hon move that cute butt" There is a smack and a sqweel from the
kitchen and Nabiki comes running out of the kitchen with Ucchan right behind
her. Smacking at her ass with a spatula she chases Nabiki up the stairs to
her room. As we hear there door shut Ranma sits back down wondering at the
funny turns his life has taken since he married Akane 8 months ago. Picking
up the post card he goes back to his reading.  

Don't shoot Don't shoot this is a scene from a lemon world after all.
Till later
