Here's just a quick fix of something I had intended to do at the end, but
screwed up, so here's a paragraph no one probably noticed anyways changed...

	Soun gasped and talked quietly into the phone.  "Thank god you called
Saotome.  Hinako had just gotten me pinned against the phone nook in the
bathroom hallway at where we're eating.  What is it?  WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
LIMO!  Full insurance coverage?  Where did you get all that money for that
from?  Guess I can't say I didn't expect it to myself...  I'd rather not know
where you got the yen from?  If you say so... What about a circus?  Nabiki is
your manager?  The Dancing Panda?  You're right, I don't want to know...  You
have a plan?"

Yeah yeah, no biggie, but I felt like addressing the matter...  And here's
the end to it all finally...

Chapter 16: Still Up At 5 A.M. (Or This Story Is FINALLY Over)

	"So let me get this straight...  The alien terminator is really some sort of
genetic super cell created by that scientist guy, but after it ate all those
people, it turned from an overgrown slug into that cheap swamp thing
wannabe?" asked Ukyou.
	"Umm...  I guess that's the gist of it." answered Ranma.
	"What I want to know is why this movie is called Alien Terminator.  There's
no damn alien's in this stupid movie," complained Kodachi.
	"It's commercialism I tell you...  They think they put the names of two big
movies together and people will actually watch this," replied Mousse.
	"Shampoo like Terminator."
	"No you idiots!  Don't leave the girl behind!" Ryoga yelled at the TV.
 "What kind of real men would do that!  Uh-oh, they're playing the scary
music now."
	"Akane, are you covering your eyes?  Come on you big chicken, watch!"
scolded Ranma.
	Akane held her hands over her eyes tightly.  "I don't want to watch!"
	The women on the TV screen screamed as the alien terminator attacked her
(from offscreen nonetheless, damn budget cuts).  "AAAAAAAAHHH!!!"  The
electricity suddenly all at once goes out again.
	"AAAAAAH!!!" screamed Akane.
	"Shampoo, don't worry, I'll protect you from lustful hands!"
	"What do you think you're doing!  Can't you tell the difference from a man
and a woman!" shouted Ryoga.
	"Oh Ranma, protect me from the ooky spooky dark!" cried Kodachi.
	"You have the wrong person too you bimbo!  Get off of me!" screamed Ukyou as
she shoved Kodachi off her.
	"Oh, sorry, I couldn't tell the difference," responded Kodachi.
	"What's that supposed to mean!"
	"Ai ya!  Shampoo find Ranma!" she yelped in joy as she pulled on his pony
tail hard.  "Wo dai ai len!"
	"Ow!  That hurt!"
	"Ranma, what are you doing in the dark with Shampoo!  As soon as the lights
turn back on...," growled Akane.
	"I'll get Ranma for you Akane!" roared Ryoga as a loud "POW!" was heard.
	"That wasn't Ranma," whimpered Mousse.
	"I still want to know what you meant by, 'I couldn't tell!'" yelled Ukyou.

	As dawn finally arrived, the trickle of light rose over the horizon before
the sun did and gently brushed itself along Amy's face.  She felt the light
warmth and snuggled a little more with her blanket before her eye's flickered
open.  "Where am I," she wondered as she slowly crawled up.  She looked
around the vast room decorated with..., pictures of Kuno nonetheless and
remembered.  "I must have dozed off at some point last night."
	"A splendid vivacious morning to you my blue haired beauty, as vivacious as
you are my dear," Kuno said as he entered the room with Sasuke carrying a
tray of breakfast goods.  Kuno walked up to Amy and kissed her on the
forehead.  "Did you sleep and dream well my love."
	"Of course Kuno..., I had a lovely time last night I might add.  It was...,
surprising what happened, but I enjoyed it immensely.  Didn't know that I had
that much in me."
	"That is good to hear my love.  I had not exactly expected us to be doing
that the entire night.."
	"Errrr, I think I'll make my exit now," Sasuke said as he began to sweat.
	After he had left, Kuno took Amy's hand and kissed it lightly.  "Some coffee
in the morning my love?"
	"Heaven's yes...  After how long I went at it last night.    I HAVE to get
myself one of those deluxe karoke systems that you have Kuno.  God those
things are addicting.  How many hours of karoke did I sing before I finally
got tired and went to sleep."
	"I believe you has just finished your encore performance of Masquerade, with
you as the whole Phantom cast.  Quite a stamina you have there my blue haired
beauty," Kuno said with a gentle smile as he took the lid off a tray.
 "Corned Beef Hash with scrambled eggs, hope you enjoy this meal.  Quite
exotic in my opinion, but you know those wacky Americans."
	Amy punched his shoulder lightly.  "Hey, I'm a wacky English person myself
you know.  Oh dear, I have to run home soon myself though.  Lord knows what's
happened to my friends since I was gone."

	Somewhere in the depths of hell, the demon Mephisto had captured Sailor
Jupiter, Venus, Moon, and Tuxedo Mask as well.  He laughed maniacally as he
held the powerless bodies of the scouts in his thrall.  Sailor Mars of course
was too wilely to be  captured.  Sailor Mercury; gone for a day and
everything goes to hell.

	Where windows had once been at the Selixwas now just yellow tape strung all
over.  The manager was still sweeping up the glass and debris when the little
bell on his door rang again and the familiar faces of destruction walked in.
 "I hope everything was satisfactory last night," he said as he walked over
to them.
	"Ummm, yeah...., about last night," Ranma stuttered as he laid his water
damaged tuxedo in front of the manager.
	"What did you do to my tux!" the manager yelled.
	"Um, that's not that bad compared to this one," Mousse said as he laid his
burned off right sleeve and water damaged tux out.  "It wasn't my fault!  It
was my date's fault!"
	"Oh, then there's mine, "Ryoga added as he poured some ash out of his hand
onto the counter.  "You see, what happened to his tux happened to mine in a
higher degree.  My date left my tux in there because I wasn't there at the
time..., it's a long story."
	"Really," the manager sarcastically replied.
	"Well, anyways, It's not all of the tux there, in fact, I'm not sure how
much of it is tux and how much is limo, but the chi felt right."
	"The chi felt right?" he responded in disbelief.  "THE CHI FELT RIGHT?"
	"We're real sorry...  But it wasn't my fault!  It was all Ranma's fault!"
shouted Ryoga.  "I lost my tux because of him!"
	"Yeah, it was his fault!  He started the fire!" added Mousse.
	"Oh, is that how it is?" replied Ranma as he moved into a fighting stance.
 "You two clowns want to try to tackle me again?"
	"STOP!" screamed the manager as he tried to salvage what little was left of
his store.  "Look, don't worry about it!  Just forget about it!  We'll call
it even as long as YOU NEVER COME HERE EVER AGAIN!"
	"Don't have to be rude about it, geez," complained Ranma.  "If you don't
want our business you can just say so."  The bell ran one more time as the
trio left Select.  And then the door hinges finally gave out as the door
dropped flat on the ground.
	"Excuse me sir, which one is my tux?" asked the pimple faced store clerk.
	The manager just blew the ashes at his face.

	The guys reunited with the girls at the foodcourt of the mall.  Everyone had
changed into casual clothes.  "So what did they say?" asked Ukyou.
	"It couldn't have gone better," smiled Ranma.  "That was some decent acting
there guys."
	"We were acting?" mumbled Mousse and Ryoga.
	"Okay everybody, I guess we have to continue walking back home.  I just wish
I knew where dad was, I'm getting worried.  No one was home last night, and
Ms. Hinako's cell phone was turned off."
	"Oh what kind of trouble could they have gotten into," remarked Ranma.

	Panda Genma opened his maw widely as he let out a big yawn.  He crawled off
the floor and tried to focus his eye's, but everything was still blurry.  Not
to mention how badly his head hurt.  Apparently panda's get hang over's too.
 He stepped over Principal Kuno who was sprawled out on the floor unconscious
with a bottle of Kaluah in his hand to the bathroom.  A little hot water and
some vomiting later, he reemerged out of the bathroom and lay on the King
sized bed.  An arm suddenly wrapped around his neck.  "Mmm..., ohio Sounie."
	Genma oddly made panda noises despite the fact he was in human form.  Little
Hinako's eyes shot open.  "You're not my Sounie!  Get away from me you
lecher!" she cried as she pushed Genma off the bed.  He landed with a loud
thud.
	Soun groaned loudly from the otherside of the bed as he finally woke up.
 "Oh my..., what happened last night."  He then turned to look at Hinako next
in bed to him still wearing last night's dress and a look of shock was on his
face.  "What DID happen last night???"
	"Well, I was the only person NOT to get all drunk last night apparently.  As
adult's, we should really set a better example for the kids."
	"Oh forget the lecture Hinako my dear, and go drain some chi so I can
snuggle in your bosom!" yelled Happosai as he tossed an empty sake bottle at
Soun's head.  He got up from the easy chair he fell asleep in.  "What's the
problem with you boys anyways, can't take a little alcohol the night before."
	"Oh, I'll take some chi alright," Hinako smirked as her hands formed a
circle.  "Yaiko No Taiso Step 1!"  She then turned back to Soun in woman form
as Happosai's crippled body floated in the air.  "Anyways, we came here to
pick up Genma after dropping off that limo driver.  But then you two started
to take advantage of that scared bellboy into bringing us all this free food
and liquor!  Since you were in no condition to drive at that time, I said
we'd have to stay overnight.  Then the old pervert showed up, looking alot
worse than usual, but still his old self and you two just kind of acted
pathetic, and I do hope it was the alcohol.  Anyways, the alcohol really
poured in then.  And Cologne came somehow popped in here saying she wanted to
know if the kids were safe, and speaking of which, I don't know how she got
here and where she is now.  Needless to say, the old leach got a keg of sake
in her mouth before too long.  But then all of you started getting rowdy and
I think you all passed out from consumption before too long.  But I got to
sleep next to you so it was okay!" gushed Hinako as she hugged Soun's arm.
	Soun's head slowly swiveled until he was Principal Kuno lying on the ground.
 "When did he get into the picture?"
	"Hmmm..., beats me..."
	Genma lay on the ground where Hinako had pushed him off and snored loudly.

	"Ni hao great grandmother!  I back!"
	Cologne was slowly behind the counter cleaning up the Nekohauten.  Her eyes
wearily looked up from her cleaning, but she tried to hide her fatigue from
the night before.  She hadn't received so little sleep since those wildnights
out when she was a 100.  "So how did everything go Shampoo, future son in
law?  Had fun I hope.  Didn't by any chance get eloped did you?"
	"Oh be quiet old ghoul and just serve us some ramen.  I'm famished."
	"Is something wrong great grandmother?" asked Shampoo noticing how slowly
Cologne was moving.  "Shampoo go help, okay?  And Ranma come help too!"
	"But I want to ea..., URK!" grunted Ranma as Shampoo wrenched him out his
chair and into the kitchen with her.
	"I can help Shampoo!" Mousse cried as he got up to follow her but Cologne
was still capable of flinging a water bucket right at Mousse's head.  "Quack
quack!"
	"You can help me serve everyone else some rice out here."
	"Where does she think she's taking Ranma sugar," Ukyou commented as she got
ready to follow them.  
	"Just heating up ramen I'm sure, here, have some miso soup everyone,"
Cologne said as she served them all.

	Ranma was sitting in the kitchen shoveling ramen into his mouth as soon as
they were cooked and asking for more.
	Shampoo giggled.  "Ranma eat so much, no left for other's."  She then had a
more serious look on her face as she sat closely in front of Ranma.
 "Ranma..."  Ranma was too busy eating to notice her.
	"RANMA!  Shampoo talking here!"
	"Huh?  Oh sure, just let me finish this bowl.  I'm listening," Ranma lied as
he continued eating.
	"Well...  Shampoo did have good time last night...  But Shampoo still
disappointed about some things..."
	"Uh-huh," Ranma nodded as he continued eating.
	"Well, Shampoo kind of hoping that..., since date almost over..., Shampoo
want at least one kiss before night over.  At least goodbye kiss from
husband."
	"Uh-huh..."
	Shampoo placed her hands on Ranma's and lowered them so he wasn't eating
anymore.  She looked into Ranma's eyes with her seductive face.  "So..."
	"So..., can I have more ramen?"
	"Shampoo give Ranma something else to keep mouth busy," she smirked as she
moved her head close to his.
	Ranma gulped hard.  This is not what he should be doing.  Not with Akane
right out there.  He tried to back away but....  Damnit, Shampoo was just so
damn cute.  "One little, goodbye kiss is it right?"
	Shampoo nodded and before Ranma could respond pressed her lips against his.
 It wasn't the first time they kissed, but it seemed to her like forever
since they last did.  	Ranma broke the kiss off.  "Okay..., more ramen now?"
 Ranma let out an oof as he was suddenly pushed to the ground, with Shampoo
on top of him.  "Shampoo..., errr, this isn't what we call kissing in
Japan..."  Ranma was kind of shocked but tried to get away.
	Shampoo just smiled at him with that seductive smile of her's.  "Ranma reach
first base, why not go for inside park homerun," she said with a wink.
	"Ranma!  Get away from Shampoo you womanizer!" shouted Mousse as he ran into
the kitchen.
	"Thank god you're here Mousse!  I owe you, HEY WATCH OUT!" yelped Ranma as
he rolled away from a huge battle axe that would've carved his head.
	"Ranma you jerk!  How could you with us just outside!" screamed Akane.  She
started turning a very bright red as she suddenly wrenched the freezer door
off and tossed it at Ranma who barely dodged it.
	"It's not what it looks like!" repeating a phrase he used all too much.
	"That door not cheap," yelled Shampoo.  She then had to suddenly dodge a
pair of clubs.  "Aiya!  You still want to challenge Shampoo crazy girl?"
	"Whatever it takes to get your vile claws away from my darling Ranma!"
	"It's not what it looked like!" cried Ranma as he ran into the dining room
with Akane and Ukyou chasing him.
	"Then what was she doing on top of you Ranma honey?" Ukyou yelled after him.
	"Errr..., well..., she was on top of me, but I didn't want to be on top of
her, NO!  That came out wrong..., I mean, I didn't want anyone to be on top
of anyone...  Why won't you believe me!"
	As everyone started fighting and chasing after each other in the cat cafe,
Cologne had her head down on the counter sleeping soundly.

	"Wake up..., wake up boy..."
	Jinnai slowly started to stir.  He squinted his eyes tightly as the
unshielded morning sun bathed down on him.  Jinnai was a disheveled mess from
the night sleeping on a sidewalk, and the five o' clock shadow didn't make
him look better.  "Where..., where am I..."
	The two police men who had woken him up looked at each other with the same
thought.  "Sir, what were you doing passed out on the sidewalk."
	"Passed out?  I..., I don't remember how I got here...  I was at the junior
prom..."
	"Son, you didn't take any drugs the past night have you..."
	"No..., of course..., I..., didn't..."  Jinnai paused for a moment as he
thought back.  What drug DID Kodachi use on him last night...
	"Son, you're coming downtown with us for a drug test."
	"But..., but you've got it all wrong!  I didn't take any drugs last night!
 Well, I guess I did, but not willingly!  My girlfriend drugged me...  That
doesn't sound right either, but wait..."  Jinnai looked at the officers who
were just staring at him wide eyed.  He gave out a sigh and said, "Can I call
my lawyer please."

	"Okay you two, one deluxe okynomiyaki coming up."
	Ranma scarffed up the entire okynomiyaki before Akane even touched hers.
 "Geez Ranma, you don't have to show so much restraint."
	Ranma mumbled with his mouth full, "Can't help it...  Didn't eat 'nuff at
Shampoo's..."
	"Speaking of which, you think Shampoo and Kodachi are still at it back
there?  Not to mention what happened to Ryoga in that melee...  Who knows
where in hell he's wandered off to now."

	"Why is it so damn hot here...  And what's with all these souls screaming
out in pain," remarked Ryoga as he pulled at the collar of his shirt.  "That
damn coward Ranma, he's lucky he got away from me or else right now..."
 Before Ryoga could finish his thought, a gloved hand grabbed him and pulled
him into a crevice.
	"Ryoga, is that really you?  What are you doing in hell?  Nevermind that, I
need your help!  Where's Amy?  The other scouts are in trouble!" exclaimed
 Sailor Mars as she shook him violently.
	"I'm in hell?  How did I get here!"

	Ukyou hugged Ranma tightly as Akane looked on with disdain.  "I had a great
time Ranma...  And thanks for the go round you stud."
	"Yeah, and hope you find your bag with your clothes in it and stuff."
	"Reminds me," Ukyou said as she handed a folded pair of clothes to Akane.
 "Thanks for letting me borrow your spare clothes.  I hope that guy I got a
ride from brings back all my stuff.  No wonder the bag was so heavy, that
damn book he had weighted a ton!"
	"Maybe you should drop it by Cologne after she wakes up later.  It was like
ancient Chinese right?"
	"I guess...  Maybe later."
	Ranma and Akane waved goodbye to Ukyou as they departed Ucchans and began to
walk home.  Ranma hopped onto a fence as usual.  "So...  Have fun?"
	"When Ryoga was around I did," snapped back Akane.
	"Whatever Ms. 'Ranma, this means alot to me,'" he said while mimicking her
voice badly.  Ranma quickly dodged as a mallet flew over his head.
	"Trying to take advantage of me like that last night you leach!  It was the
perfect cap to the most unperfect day!"
	Just as nonchalantly as Ranma dodged the mallet, he leapt off the fence and
landed next to Akane.  "But you were having a good time at the time though,
right."  He looked away from her acting as if he wasn't putting much thought
into these words.
	Akane pauses for a moment, somewhat startles by the question.  Her first
instinct was to snap back at him, but instead, "Yeah...  It was really lovely
for awhile there Ranma.  Better than most of the night."
	"Most of the night?  When was it worse?" Ranma questioned light heartedly.
	"When you had to tell Mousse you were Shampoo and kissed him," Akane said as
she began giggling.
	"That was low of you all!!!  If I knew that was going to be the dare, I
would've rather taken the truth!"
	Akane turned her head from Ranma and began to stare into space as she
walked, something weighing on her mind.  "Hey Ranma...  Wasn't the truth
which girl you liked."
	"Yep.  You can imagine why I didn't answer."
	"Yeah..., I guess I can imagine why..."
	"Why did you ask?"
	"Hmmm?  Oh, I was just curious.  Not like I care what unlucky girl you have
perverted thoughts about at night.  Thank god it's not me."
	"Uh-huh," Ranma said with a slight smile.  "And whoever said it wasn't you,"
Ranma muttered slightly beneath his breath.
	"What was that Ranma?"
	"Nothing, don't worry about it."  Ranma stopped suddenly and looked down the
adjacent street.  "Hey, I remember this spot...  Isn't this where you got all
mushy and weepy to me about Dr. Tofu.  Way back when you still had hair."
 Ranma dodged Akane's backhand.
	"I didn't get all weepy and mushy!  I was trying to have a serious
discussion with you but all you're good for is stuffing your face!  And I
STILL do have hair!"
	Ranma just smiled again and asked, "You have any money?"
	"Huh?  Oh...  Actually, no."
	"Well, it's okay.  I'll treat this time at McD's, but it's your turn next
time, and I won't forget.  Now come on, let's get something to eat."
	Akane gave a warm smile.  "Thanks Ranma, but if you don't' mind..., please,
not McD's...  Bad memories and all."
	Ranma opened the door of a restaurant for Akane, and followed her in.

	"The books in here right?"
	"Yeah yeah, it's in the bag...  I'm going to go grab a drink."
	"Ummm, Tetsuya?  Is this yours?"
	Tetsuya turned around as he saw his friend hold up a pair of panty's.  "Oh
lord no...  Don't tell me..."
	He quickly ran to his bag and unloaded a bra, a tanktop, a pair of short
jeans, some spatula's..., but no book.  "Don't tell me she has my bag..."
	"Forget the bag, where's the Four God's Heaven and Earth?"
	"Ummm..., you won't believe this...  But I think this girl I gave a ride to
grabbed my bag...  With the book in it."
	"WHAT!?  What's going to happen to Miaka and Yui if we're not reading the
story!  We need to get it back!!!"
	"Don't worry, I know where to find her...  Some place called Ucchans in
Nerima.  I just hope that she doesn't open up that book...  And if she
does..."
	They both slowly nodded as they realized what might happen.  There just
might be another miko in the world of Fushigi Yuugi.
