For Better Or For Worse...
--------------------------

	It was another typical morning in Nerima. The sun was shining, the 
birds were chirping...

	"Yeeeaaarrggh!!!", an ear-splitting scream sliced through the calm 
air, shattering it, and waking up the whole neighbourhood in the process.
	"I've made a loss. ME!!!", cried Nabiki Tendo, disbelievingly.
	"Aaaarrgghh!!!", she howled again for good measure.

	"Hmm, a bad omen.", Soun Tendo contemplated his second daughter's 
wails of indescribable loss as he made his way to the mail box. There was 
a postcard there...

	"Kasumi."
	"Nabiki."
	"Akane.", Soun called out excitedly. His shaking hands were 
clutching the postcard tightly while tears of joy was streaming down his 
cheeks.
	"Where is that girl.", he grumbled as he looked around the house 
for Akane.

	A while later, everyone was seated down at the table, the girls 
facing their father. Nabiki was looking dejectedly at pieces that barely 
resembled a calculator.
	"I have an announcement to make." Soun could barely contain his 
exultation.
	"Ranma is coming here with his father after an extensive training 
trip in China."
	The girls looked blankly at their father.

	"Who is Ranma?", Nabiki asked curiously.
Soun looked at them fondly, a silly grin on his face.
	"He is Akane's husband.", he said with aplomb.
	"WHAT!!!", the girls shouted after an explosive second of silence.

	Outside, the sky began to darken. Thunder rumbled and lightning 
flashed. Soon it was pouring with rain. In another part of Nerima, a 
commotion was taking place...

	"Hey, cut that out.", cried a red-haired girl as she dodged a 
panda who was trying to tackle her down. They were running along the 
streets of Nerima, the panda chasing the girl while curious passers-by 
looked on.

	"Growwff.", the panda looked mad as it faced off with the girl in 
the middle of the street. She had connected a flying kick to it when it 
tried to tackle her down. The panda started forward and was soon thrown to
the ground seemingly unconscious.

	"I'm going back to China old man. This is no time to be married.", 
she said turning around bowing her head low.
	"The nerve of that old man. Marrying me off to someone that I 
didn't know about and couldn't care less.", she cursed under her breath.

	Meanwhile, the panda had recovered. Seeing the girl turned about, 
it clonked her on the head with a sign and hauled her up its' shoulder 
unceremoniously.

*	*	*

	"Just when did I get married?", Akane eyed her father dangerously.
	"Err...heh..", Soun stammered while looking at the remains of a 
once sturdy table.
	"Now, now Akane, there's no need to get mad.", Nabiki said soothingly.
	"We'll kill him once he explains everything."
Kasumi just smiled and nodded in agreement. 

	"I thought you knew.", explained Soun desperately as Akane started 
breaking furniture. She glowered at him and  threw her latest victim at 
him, or what's left of it. Soun dodged frantically, while trying to calm
her down.

	"And how was I supposed to know?", she snarled.
	"You were there remember...", pleaded Soun as he looked around his 
living room. It was starting to look like a war zone.

	"Let go, you old fool...", a voice shouted from outside the house.
	"We have visitors.", Kasumi said to no one in particular and 
turned to go greet them. Soun followed her, thankful to be out of Akane's 
way. In a moment, Nabiki also followed them, after watching Akane 
systematically dismantle the living room.

	"Yipe!", cried Soun in surprise and ran back the way he came, 
followed by his daughters. A while later, a panda came into view and 
firmly placed its' charge in front of Soun Tendo, who was backing away 
nervously, trying to protect his daughters. Akane however paid no 
attention and was in the process of tearing down the walls with her bare
hands.

	"You wouldn't be...", Soun looked at the person in front of him 
desperately.
	"Ranma Saotome. Sorry about this."
	"Ranma. At last, you're here!", cried Soun in delight as he gave 
Ranma a bear hug. Slowly, he pulled away with a puzzled frown on his face 
and looked down on a pair of breasts.

	Nabiki was looking at the exchange in interest. She went to stand 
in front of Ranma and poked her chest. They were definitely a pair of 
breasts. Real breasts.
	"'He' is a 'she'.", Nabiki said with an absolutely straight face. 
Then she turned to Akane who had came up to stare daggers at the newcomer.
	"Congratulations Akane.", Nabiki looked at her mischievously.

	"Huh?" Akane looked at Nabiki confused. She was in no mood for 
jokes right now.
	"You've always said you hated boys.", explained Nabiki.
	"Well, you're in luck. You're married to a girl.", chorused her 
sisters.

	"A....a.....gg..girl?", Akane looked at the newcomer in shock then 
fainted...

Author's delirious ramblings:

	Umm, right, this is my second fanfic. My first got stuck in the 
production line so... I'm posting this one instead. Okay, okay, so I'm a 
newbie and this is my first ever posted fanfic and what I'm saying is 
sheer sophistry but seriously folks I do have a first fanfic. Only problem
is, it's not finished and needs lots of shoe polish.

	The intro was a bit of a spoof. There's a fellow on the FFML 
(forgot who he is exactly) who posted a review of fanfics recently and 
said that most fanfics had stereotypical openings like what I just wrote. 
So, I figured I'll just add another to the list....hehe.

	Since there's also been a lot of spam lately, you folks won't mind 
an itsy little spamfic right? This fanfic is not to be taken seriously 
anyway. Heck, I don't even take myself seriously and so does half the
world. The other half just ignores me completely...hehe. Besides, I'm not
that good at writing seriously and at some depth. So you might find my 
fics to be a wee bit on the shallow side.

	About the storyline, well I got tired of all this fiancee stuff 
and thought it might be fun to marry them of first, then worry about the 
consequences later. About Nabiki, well what can I say... she ought to have
at least some losses some of the time. She can't win all of them all of
the time, to paraphrase a quote from someone. Don't remember who it was
though, so don't go around accusing me of plagiarism...heh.

	While we're on the subject, I might have ripped of someone's ideas 
without knowing... honest... so if I did, just give me a call and I'll 
drop it. I can't help ripping of the Ranma cast though... hehe.. all 
copyrights belong to their respective owners, etc and standard disclaimer
applies. I might have mixed and mashed some ideas I got from lurking
around the FFML in which case that would be called scholarship??..hee.

That's it.
ME!!!

P.S This fanfic was written on flame retardant material. Absolutely 
guaranteed by the manufacturer to be effective for at least 10 years. 
Hopefully, that's enough time for me to get to Mars...hmm... a little 
further wouldn't hurt. Maybe Jupiter.

P.P.S Oh! And I almost forgot. C&C's very much welcomed and encouraged. 
Just address all your mutterings and grumblings to ee61rj@ee.surrey.ac.uk. 
Don't spare the keyboard. I want the works, plus any extra toppings.
Incidentally, would anyone like to give me some royalty free ^_^ ideas on 
how to continue the fic?

Thanks.
