Chapter 5      Bewildered

     I'm a girl.
     Of all the possible effects of granting a wish to someone, that
     would
have been the last one to pop into my mind.
     I'm a girl.
     I'm a girl and I don't know how to reverse it.
     At least Ranma will be happy for a while.
     I slowly regained consciousness.  I looked at Ranma.  Sure
     enough, he
was a boy.
     "You okay?"  Ranma surely LOOKED concerned.
     I hoped that I could survive this.  I nodded.  Ranma looked
     relieved. "Okay, think you can gain some endurance?  It looks
     like you could use
some."  I nodded, then a thought struck me. (WHAM!!!:)
     I looked at him, "Ranma, do you mind if I changed something about
     your
memory?"  Ranma looked suspicious, "There's something I want to ask
you, first, before I do this.  Ranma, did you say my name out loud?" 
Ranma looked puzzled, then he nodded. "Damn, I would like to erase my
name from your memory, that may be why I was yanked from my house
instead of the small tug that it should have been."
     Ranma looked suprised, "Erase your name?  Will I forget all about
you?"  I shrugged. "You said that you were yanked here?" I nodded.
"Well, how can we tell that this was from me saying your name?"
     "Do you still have the wand?" Ranma nodded, "Then think my name,
     and,
say something you want. We'll see from there."
     Ranma closed his eyes and took out the wand.  The wand blinked. 
     I
felt a pulse.  Nothing else visible happened.
     Ranma opened his eyes, "Did you feel anything?" I nodded. "Well,
     we'll
see in half an hour if what I wanted comes true."
     I shuddered.
     What could he possibly have wished for?
     Something told me that I didn't want to know.
