[Ranma] "No Need for Ranma!" (1/?)

What have we here? A Tenchi crossover?

"Papa-sama."  She wipes the tears from her eyes.  "Without Ran-chan, my
life as a girl is over.  But, I can live for him, to do the things he
needs to have done.  I'll be your son, just promise me one thing."

"Yes, uh?"  I don't know what to say.

"Let's never have fish again."

Hmmm... maybe they ate the fish from "Airplane"? :-)

"This generic template type spring being.  It turn whoever get dunked
into male human like they would be born as if they born woman or animal
was.  To the young master, his father or myself no effect there would be
being."

Ouch! What language does he think he's writing? It's German, not
Chinese, where you find verbs at the end of sentences. Why isn't he
writing his diary in Chinese, anyway?

"I had some bruised ribs.  They're all better know."  He turned away

better now.

"Yiiii!"  She cringed and shut her eyes.  Then she felt something on her
lips.  Her eyes flew open in shock, he was kissing her!

"What!"  She forced him back with both hands on his shoulders.

"I'm sorry, but you were standing there so beautiful.  I just couldn't
resist."

"Apology accepted."

HUH???

This ain't the Akane we know, folks. Why is she taking this from
"Ranma"?

"I have a favor to ask.  I intend to teach the School of Indiscriminate
Grappling in the future.  You show great promise.  Would you like to be
my first student?"

"OK."  It would be good to have a teacher other than her father.  "Just
don't try that stunt again."  He was going to be staying around for a
bit, until one of her sisters gave in and agreed to be engaged to him.
With any luck, it would be Kasumi, leaving Doctor Tofu free.

Been there, written that. Nyaah! ;-)

Afterwards, Soun asked.  "So Ranma, have you met my daughters?"

"Yes, I have."

"And have you made a decision?"

"Yes, it can only be the fair Akane."

"Because this UNfair Akane is really getting on my nerves!" :-)

"Do you have to touch me like that?"

"Sorry, like I said, I'm new at teaching.  But, aren't you serious about
the art?  Are you going to just let go, now that you've got a man?"

Uh... what? Just which art are you talking about here, "Ranma"?

No Tenchi yet. Maybe that's because there's NO NEED for Tenchi! (heh)

Seriously, interesting concept. As I said, though, Akane seems to
accept "Ranma"'s advances way too easily. I also don't understand why
"Ranma" was so quick to choose Akane and make moves on her. Yes, the
real Ranma would have eventually come to love Akane, but his
replacement would have no way of knowing that that I can see.
