It's that time again, kids...remember, a typical play has at 
the most, 5 acts.  Is this wrapping up, or should it be changed
to "Part"?

Again, for clarification:  If Ryo Saotome does not get back to 
his own universe, find Bell-chan, and live happily ever after,
I will hunt you all down.  I mean it.

There are some beautifyl scenes here.  The Childra/Ishido scenes
(despite a carp I'll mention later), the Ryo guilt scenes (esp.
the bit where Childra wonders what Bell-chan would think of him,
and he mentions that he wonders himself.)

Specifics:

Ryo Saotome:  Fabulous.  I *ache* for this man.  He's gotta have
Ataru in him somewhere, his luck's so bad.  And *no one* likes
him!  It's heartbreaking...

Childra Jansen:  Well...the scenes were lovely, but she did seem
to shift really fast from her wisecracking self to the Ryouga
wannabe.  It seemed a little too quick.  Otherwise, gorgeous.

Ishido:  Seems to have finally gotten his act together.  Hope 
things work out...Chris, you did mention nobbling Kevin and making
off to 2096 with Ishido, did you not? :-)

Ryo Muhoshin:  Blissfully absent.

Miyabi:  When she said she was gonna matchmake, this was my reaction:  
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Despite that, very nice.  I'd still like
to see more of Ranma in her...

Rat:  Hee hee.

Lovely bits here with Kuno.  RpM, nice job.

Genma seemed a little unconcerned with the fact that his wife thinks
he fathered a child by another woman.  I think he'd be a *little*
upset...

The Ryouga/Ukyou stuff was a parody of every Ryouga/Ukyou fan I've
seen.  I loved the bit where Akane and Miyabi compare notes ("well,
there was the cave...").  Why did Ryouga get a flash of his supposed
future?  At least with Ukyou, it was a dream...

The Star Wars gags fell flat for me, but everything else seemed to
work.

Overall, nice.  Not even many spelling mistakes, so I guess RpM wasn't
as involved as I thought...OW!
