Reintroduction: Hello Again For The First Time
	This was my first fanfic, in those old days when I didn't even have a ML and
only utilized White Wolfs ML or sent this out to people one by one from
whoever caught my post at a few message boards.  So as my and White Wolf's ML
grew, there's probably alot of people who might've read Prom Night (which
alluded to certain events from Ranma/SM) but haven't had the opportunity to
read this yet.  If you want to receive a copy of Ranma: Prom Night or for
that matter, just compliment to flame me, e-mail to chihokodan@aol.com.
 Well, here it is, and IMO, better than ever.  Knowing there are just as many
people who've read it and don't have time to read again, I'll quickly sum up
all the major new stuff at the beginning of each part I send out, so you can
go straight to that instead of reading the whole thing.  Not too much time
consumed to do that, right?  This first reintroduction however is going to be
longer than any other as I'm giving a large overview of the whole "New
Edition."  As I said, it was my first fanfic, and there were so many scenes
that moved too blandly, or characters were just dull, or the new villain I
created was just a tackling dummy that no one (including myself) didn't care
about.  Well, that's the largest change I think.  Most of the new added
material (at LEAST 10 new pages) deals with said new character...  I kind of
like him now, and I know no one gave a rats ass about him before.  Any part
he was in previously, is now COMPLETELY rewritten, and I think I've made him
kind of interesting.  Chapter 6-8 is where he's at to jog your memory.  And
newbies are better off not knowing the old one.  Other major change is Rei
and Darian.  I think I focused to little on something that I brought up and
that's they were together before Darian got kidnapped and the anime never
addressed that after Darian came back.  I hit on it a bit originally, but go
more into their heads now.  Grammar is no longer at a 5th grade level and I
think I've fixed it all.  And here's the ticker...  There's ALOT of new
lines, paragraphs, thoughts, and what not ALL OVER THE PLACE.  That's why I
think it's worth rereading for some people.  I can't pin where they're at
because I think they're everywhere.  But now, onto the specifics of the first
part.  First thing you'll notice is that the first thing is different!  I
never liked the original Serena thing, thought it was hokey.  I like the new
one better.  (And if it seems similar to the first scene in FY, that's
because it IS similar ^_^).  The only other change that comes to mind in this
short first part that I can think of deals with when Ranma and Akane
encounter each other after Kodachi.  Added a couple paragraphs.  No other BIG
changes for this short part, but the fights in the chapters after, there are
MAD changes.  Oh, and before I forget, I've added "New Notes" at the end of
every chapter, just a sort of looking back I suppose on things.  Well,
whether checking this out for the first time or the 10th time, I hope you
enjoy my "baby."  And after reading it, I hope it whets your appetite for
Ranma/SM II moreso...  ^_^  (Reminds me, I've changed the "sequel" ending,
and I think it'll make you want to see what happens more).

Sailor Moon vs. Ranma 1/2 "New Edition"
Skimpy Skirts And Cross Dressers 
by Shiaw Chi "Hokodan"
I've tried to make the story accessible to fans of either Ranma or Sailor
Moon, but at least a rudimentary knowledge of both is recommended.  Any
Sailor Moon fan should be able to pick up where this story takes place
(between the first time Tux got his memory back and the end of the first
series).  Ranma has no timeline, just whatever Viz has released so far.  I
try to keep with the feel of the original stories, but it's just a tad more
serious than usual and by chapter 2, it does get a little bloody, but pg-13
fair.

Prologue:  Sailor Moon... Defiled?
	"Ice cream...  So much ice cream...  So many flavors...  How do I choose
which one to eat first!" exclaimed Serena.  She gazed from one end of the
long table to another; grasping each large bucket of ice cream in her glare.
 Each 101 different flavors were quickly processed into her brain as she
quickly imagined how each and every one of them tasted.
	The rest of her body then became animated.  She darted from one corner of
the table to another, while blurting, "Double mocha almond fudge!  Cherry
supreme!  Good old classic Rocky road...  You will all melt in my mouth...
 But which one to start with!"  She pulled out a large spoon but she still
couldn't decide what to eat first.  "I want some sweet, sweet chocolate, but
also some fruity mango, or maybe..."  Her head begins to spin with her
indecision.  And then..., she snapped.  
	"I CAN'T DECIDE!!!  I'll just eat it all at once!!!" she screamed as she
pulled out another spoon and began to scoop ALL the icecream into her wide
mouth so fast she became a blur.  All of a sudden, ice cream began to fall
from the sky onto her.  "Yes, yes, keep coming...  Come into my mouth!"
 Before too long, the ice cream snow began to fall with increasing frequency.
 "Yes, yes, more, MORE!"  Multi-colored ice cream began to fill the air.  The
fierce wind turned everything into an ice cream blizzard.  The ice cream was
blowing around wildly as Serena began to become buried under it all.  "Are
you talking to me now ice cream?  What is it you say?  I can hear you calling
my name...  Serena, eat up Serena, Serena..."
	"Serena, wake up Serena!" whispers Luna's familiar voice.  "Wake up Serena,
it's important."
	"Five more minutes mom, just five more minutes and I'll go to school...,"
mumbled Serena.  Luna shook her head in frustration.  Serena had left her no
choice.  Luna moved closely to Serena's ear, and whispered so loudly it
wasn't really a whisper anymore.  "Wake Up Meatball Head!"
	Serena's eyes flutter open and before Luna knows it, Serena's hand had
grabbed the back of Luna's neck.  For such a clutz, she was pretty fast!
 "What'd you just call me Luna?  Like I don't get that enough from Rei
and..." Serena trails off as she is reminded of her destined love, Darian,
who's now in the clutches of that megalomaniac Queen Beryl against his will.
 At least, she hopes it's against his will.  She sighs hard as she pushes the
thought out that she might have lost Darian for the last time.  But the
welling up in her eyes weren't helping her forget.  And all that time she had
treated him so badly.
	Serena regained her composure.  "It's four in the morning Luna," Serena
whispered so as not to wake the rest of the house, "...and tomorrow's a
school day so this better be important!"  Serena suddenly felt a cold chill
creep up on her.  She turns and notices her curtains being blown wildly by a
strong wind.  "And close the windows Luna! Why'd you open it?  It's cold
enough tonight with all that ice cream."
	Luna looked at her quizzically, and just nodded her head patronizingly.
 "Anyways, I didn't open it Serena, I think a prowler did.  In fact, you
might want to keep it down because he's right next to your closet right now!"
hissed Luna as she pointed at a small round shadow going through her closet.
	"Oh my god, what am I gonna do, oh my god!  I know, I'll pretend I'm still
asleep.  He won't bother me as long as I leave him alone," proclaimed Serena
as she laid her head down and closed her eyes.
	Luna couldn't believe what she just saw.  Actually, she does.  Serena just
doesn't surprise her anymore.  This is the girl who had clashed heads with
Zoicite and emerged victorious and yet cries when she eats ice cream too
fast.  "Serena, you can take this person!  Your Sailor Moon, remember?  Go
punish him for stealing!"  Serena pretended to snore loudly.  At least Luna
thought she was pretending.  Then an idea hit her.
	"Serena, I think he's stealing that sweater Andrew gave you for your
birthday," Luna lied through her teeth.
	"WHAT!  Nobody touches that sweater!  I don't even wear it because I'm
afraid it'll lose his scent!" she screamed as she jumped off the bed with
amazing speed and turned on her lamp.  "I am Sail...errr. Serena Tsukino of
Crossroads junior high, and on behalf of my crush on Andrew, I will punish
you!" she recites while doing her repetitive hand gestures ending with her
pointing at the big, tall, scary...midget?  And he wasn't stealing her
sweater, he was stealing..., the little pervert was stealing her bras and
panties!
	"What are you doing!" screamed Serena at him.  He was only a little larger
than Luna, with his few gray hairs poking out of his makeshift mask tied
around his nose.  He was wearing some sort of dark ninja outfit and carrying
a bag larger than he was.  The bag was so stuffed, the bra's were already
overflowing out of it.  Serena was stunned.
	Seeing Serena frozen like a deer in the headlights, the thief decided to
take advantage of this.  "Oh my, aren't you a grown girl!  Yes, your silky
little darlings will receive a special spot on my shelf.  You should consider
it quite an honor.  Let me allow you to thank me my dear!" the pervert yelled
as he suddenly launched himself into Serena's chest.
	"AHHHHHH!" she screamed, her mind racing with the thoughts, "the sicko...
he's.... dirty little.... my breasts... nobody..."  Serena regained her
senses and with a might she never knew she had, bashed her fist into the
pervert's head and driving him into the ground.  "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH ME
THERE!  WHO ARE YOU!"
	"Hmmmm, I've never quite seen a battle aura's like yours before.  Your bosom
has given me an energy burst I haven't felt in a long time.  So much untapped
potential; how could a person have so much power and yet use so little of
it?"
	"I'll show you how little of it I use!" she screamed as she attempted to
step on his little head.  Before she can grind her heel into him, he was
gone.
	"Nice try honey, but you'll have to do better than that if you want to catch
the master of the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts!" cried a voice from
the window sill. "And in regards to your question, the name's Happosai my
dear, and I get the feeling we'll be meeting again soon.  And if you want to
make it sooner, just drop by the Tendo Dojo of Anything Goes Martial Arts in
the Nerima district and ask for Ranma Saotome.  He's my apprentice and will
make sure you and me..., get together again.  By the way, I love the hair!"
he said with a wink as he leapt away into the dark night.
	"Happosai," Luna stated quizzically.
	"Ranma Saotome," Serena said out loud as she wrote it down.  "I'll get that
little pervert and his stoogie if it's the last thing I do!"

Chapter 1:  Another Normal Day at the Tendo Dojo

	'"RANMAAAA!" screamed a female voice.  "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE YOU
PERVERT!"  With that said, Ranma was seen flying out of Akane's bedroom
window into the carp pond.  Girl-type Ranma immediately rose from it, her
orange shirt, bow tie, and blue pants all soaked wet.
	"You think I'd want to go into your room?  Who'd want to be in the same
bedroom as a tomboy like you!  I'd rather be in Kuno's bedroom that be in
yours!" screamed back an angry Ranma.  "And for your information, I didn't
walk into your bedroom, I was chased into it by...."
	"Ranma dear, where are you.  There's no need sparing that heathen woman's
feelings by refusing yourself your passionate desires for me.  Come to me now
my love and together we shall consummate...," the leotard clad girl trailed
off as she walked upon the female Ranma.  "You!  You strumpet, what have you
done to my darling Ranma!  Holding him against his will no doubt.  Do not
fear Ranma dear, I shall free you from her treacherous grip as soon as I
teach this little prissy a lesson."
	Ranma stared at her with a dreary look on her face.  It was annoying at
first having Kodachi barge into the Tendo's home looking for him then
eventually fighting him as a her.  Now..., now it was just getting old.
	"Haven't we been through this Kodachi?  I mean, has it ever crossed your
mind that 'Ranma darling' might want nothing to do with a lunatic like you!"
Ranma screamed, her patience finally exhausted.
	"Oh, how dare you say such baneful things to me you hussy!  How could Ranma,
how could any man, resist the combat rhythmic gymnastic captain of St.
Heberiki High, the lovely yet lethal black rose, Kodachi Kuno!" At the final
syllable, she flung her ball bombs toward Ranma.  "Give me back my sweetums
right now!"
	As usual, Ranma leapt away as it exploded behind her.  "Don't call me
sweetums!"  Ranma flew at her with her leg extended, heading straight for
Kodachi.
	"Why would anyone in there right mind want to call you sweetums.  You my
dear, are not my SWEETUMS!"  Kodachi whips out her ribbon and wraps it around
Ranma's leg, and flings her towards the moon.  Ranma does a number of flips
in the air, and lands in the bushes behind the house.  Kodachi's maddening
"Ahhhh ha ha ha ha ahhhhhh ha ha ha ha!" could be heard in the distance.
	"Why does this keep happening to me?  If only Akane would chase afteAHHHHH!"
yelped Ranma as boiling hot water was suddenly poured onto him.  "What the
hell was that for!" replied boy type Ranma.  "Are you trying to burn me!"
	"What's the matter Ranma?  Don't you want Kodachi's hands all over you
anyway, you pervert!"  Akane follows her outburst by smashing the kettle into
Ranma's face.  "What were you going to say about me Ranma!  I came to help
you, and before I even got there you were already saying something bad about
me!  I don't even know why I bother with you," she cried as her fist smashes
Ranma up into the air again.
	Ranma lands with a thud in the front yard.  Crumpled into a heap, Ranma
still mutters out "At least I didn't land in water this time."  Then Ranma
realized something.  It was still 5:00 PM, and this being a Friday, the day
was most definitely going to get worse.
	No sooner had Ranma finished that thought, when he heard a loud CRASH as the
front gates were shattered into splinters once again.
	"Ranma Saotome!" yelled a familiar aristocratic voice.  "You heathen!  Not
only to you hold my goddess in pig tails hostage, deceive the Tendo's into
giving Akane her hand in marriage, but you also greatly disrespect a member
of the Kuno family.  Albeit tis true my sister is a mere zealot with a severe
sociability problem, obviously due to her isolation in a confined all girl
school, which also severely hampered what little sanity she had, nonetheless
she is my sister and a member of the Kuno family, so prepare to tremble in
the face of the Blue Thunder of Furikan High, quake as Tatewaki Kuno's blade
falls upon your feeble head..."  Before Kuno has a chance to continue his
dialogue a bicycle wheel  had embedded itself into the back of his head
driving him face first into the ground.
	"Ni Hao Ranma," chirps a cute little voice with a heavy Chinese accent.
	"Ni Hao to you too Shampoo," replied a very tired Ranma.
	"Mrmmmmm!"
	"Why Kuno put head under Shampoo bike?"
	With a surge of strength, Kuno lifts himself up, throwing the bike off him
by a couple of feet.  "I did not place my head under your vehicle you doltish
Chinese floozy!"  Kuno then turned his attention back to Ranma, who was still
lying on the ground looking bored.  "Saotome, do you fear me so much that you
would have your Chinese wench protect your cowardly hide.  Fight me for the
love of Akane Tendo and the pig-tailed girl!"
	Shampoo landed evenly on the bikes two wheels.  "Kuno rude to Shampoo, and
Kuno rude to husband.  Shampoo think she teach Kuno lesson on manners"
 Shampoo then leapt off her bike and while in the air, draws her two
bonbori's, and dived towards Kuno.
	"A challenge is it?  Although I usually do not degrade my standards to fight
helpless woman, I shall make an exception for you!"  Kuno too leapt towards
Shampoo with his kendo sword drawn.  "Shed no tears when I, Tatewaki Kuno,
strike you down!"
	As they draw within range of each other, Shampoo blocks Kuno's sword with
one bonbori, and strikes Kuno in the face with the other.  Kuno falls slackly
to the ground in the usual "Ranma 1/2" pose.  Shampoo landed smoothly to the
ground.
	"Shampoo no break sweat.  You no worth Shampoo time."  Shampoo turned around
expecting to see Ranma's waiting arms, but finds he had since left.  "Where
Ranma go?  Ranma no worry, Shampoo find you."
	As she prepares to leap again, a voice laughed, "Ha Ha Ha!  Do you think the
shining star of Tokyo, the captain of the Kendo club, could be so easily
defeated?  Face me as I shall smite you for your gull!"  Kuno rushed at
Shampoo, swinging his sword wildly.  Shampoo had to actually give some effort
to avoid the blows.
	"So you not as weak as Shampoo think.  Shampoo might get serious now."

	"Good afternoon Ranma.  How was school today?" Kasumi asked with her
sugar-sweet voice.
	"Same as it ever is Kasumi.  Is there anything to eat?" replied Ranma,
walking into the kitchen.
	Soun and Genma were occupied playing their usual game of go.  Genma was in
his panda form.  "Ha ha ha Genma.  It looks like you've finally run out of
luck."  
	Genma then held up a sign reading "(Girl-Type) Ranma, put your clothes on."
	"Whu!!!!!!" startled Soun as he quickly turned around.  Genma quickly moves
some pieces while he's distracted.
	Ranma, sitting at the table and stuffing his mouth with food, began
wondering "Where did Kodachi go...  And Akane too..."  He shoveled the last
bits of rice into his mouth before as he realized he'd better find them both
before something happened.
	"What are you talking about Genma, your son is in boy form and fully
clothed."
	Genma held up another sign saying "What were you doing trying to look at my
NAKED SON!"
	"Errr....nothing, um, let's continue playing shall we.  Your move isn't it?"
	A loud CRASH followed by a SMASH vibrated into the house.  "Oh my.  Are your
friends visiting again Ranma?  I do hope they don't set the house on fire
again.  It's such a bother for those nice fire men to come here every week"
 Kasumi then happily continued to prepare dinner.

	Kodachi flew out of the Dojo landing roughly on her back.  "You have the
nerve to touch the black rose!?  My Ranma dear would have nothing to do with
a vile temptress like you!  First the pig-tailed girl and now you dare try to
interfere with the budding passion between me and my love!" seethed Kodachi
as she drew a number of clubs.  "I might as well get you out of the way now!"
she screamed as she threw her spiked clubs at Akane, who leapt away from
them.
	"I don't care what you and that pervert Ranma do, just get out of my way
while you're doing it!" cried Akane punching and missing Kodachi.  "Honestly,
I can't even get a quiet work out anymore since Ranma moved in!"
	"The pig-tailed trollop at least had the sense to flee from me.  Apparently
you do not share in her intelligence!"  Kodachi then suddenly drew another
ball bomb and  tossed it at Akane.  She avoided it, but it unexpectedly
exploded into a suffocating gas.
	"Koff, koff, can't breathe," choked Akane as she slumped to the ground.
 Kodachi's silhouette could be seen emerging from the smoke.  She smiled
wickedly as she drew her spiked club over her head preparing to strike.
	"Die panderer!"
	From out of nowhere, Kodachi was tackled and thrown onto the ground.  "Who
dares!"  She looked with fury at her attacker only to see the face of her
love on top of her.
	"Oh my, Ranma dear!  She suddenly grabbed Ranma's head and prepares to kiss
him.  "Yes my love, let us join our affections right here and now!"
	"Uhh..., I don't think so Kodachi..., this isn't the time or place... let go
of me!" declared Ranma as he tried to push himself off Kodachi.  Suddenly an
elbow caves in the top of his head.
	"I don't know Ranma.  Maybe this is the perfect time and place for you and
Kodachi TO DO WHATEVER YOUR HORMONES TELL YOU BECAUSE DON'T LET ME STAND IN
THE WAY OF NATURE!" Akane screamed.  Tears were beginning to well in her
eyes.  "Frankly Ranma, I don't care anymore what you're doing or who you're
doing it with.," Akane whimpers out as the tears become uncontrollable and
she ran off back to the house.
	"Akane, wait!  It's not what it looks like.  It's never what it looks like;
you should realize that by now!  Lemme go Kodachi!" shouted Ranma as he
squirmed free of her and began to chase after Akane. 
	"Ranma love!  Forget that felicitous whelp and come drink from the sweet
nectar of the black rose of... BONK!"
	Kodachi was flattened under a large spatula, apparently unconscious.  "Stay
away from my Ranma honey!" roared Ukyou.  "He ain't gonna be drinking
anything of yours!  Probably laced with poison anyways."  
	Ukyou turned around and looked at Ranma running quickly out of sight.  She
decided to pursue Ranma herself.  With one hand, she put the spatula back in
her holster, and held an okynomiyaki proudly in the other.  "I made this just
for you Ranma honey!"

	As the bus pulls away from the stop, five girls and two cats are revealed.
 The girl with the two longs braids was fumbling with a map, turning it
around, then back upside down again.  Confused would not begin to describe
her.
	The tall, pony-tailed girl yawned loudly as they walked around in circles.
 "Remind me why were here again.  I mean, I'm for pounding a disgusting
pervert as much as the next person, but shouldn't we be concentrating on the
negaverse more..."
	"That's the thing...  I sensed incredibly strong energy readings from this
'Happosai' individual.  He just might be the strongest negaverse threat we've
encountered thus far," answered Luna.
	The girl with the long black hair stared at Serena with severe contempt.
 She was obviously losing what little patience she had.  "Are we in the
Nerima district yet Serena?  I didn't think so!  Just give me that map," she
yelled as she pulled the map from Serena.  "If we left it up to you, we'd be
in Hawaii before we get to Nerima."
	"Hey!  You just had to ask nicely.  And what makes you think you can read a
map any better than I can?"
	"Because I'm not a clumsy, ditzy, meatball head!"
	"Why are you so mean to me," whined Serena.  "Maybe you're so grumpy because
you're just jealous that I'm the moon princess and that Darian is mine!"
 Serena surprised by what she just said, suddenly stops, fumbling for the
words to quickly apologize.  "I, I didn't mean... I mean...."
	Rei, just like everybody else, was taken aback by the statement.  However,
Rei quickly recovered and screamed "Apparently you didn't do a very good job
of keeping him, did you, because right now Queen Beryl has him!"  Rei then
too becomes quite.  Rei struggled to fight back the tears, and wasn't
succeeding.  The nerve of Serena to say such a thing to her.
	Serena makes no attempt to hold back the tears and lets out a "WAAAAAAH!
 It's not my fault you know!  You think I wanted to be the stupid moon
princess in the first place!  I didn't even like Darian until 2 weeks ago!  I
never asked for any of this cr..., stuff."  She falls on the ground sobbing
as usual.
	Everyone is silent, not knowing what to say.  Lita and Luna began to comfort
Serena.  Rei turned her back defiantly to the crowd.
	"Geez Artemis, I'm beginning to think we were better off on our own,"
whispered Mina.
	"Give it some time Mina.  Everything is happening too fast for everybody to
adjust.  Besides, if we're to have any chance against Queen Beryl, we all
have to stick together," whispered back the white cat on her shoulder.
	Amy interrupted the silence.  "Um, I think I have some good news, or bad
news depending on how you look at it.  According to my computer..." says Amy
as she punches buttons on her pink planner "...we're in the Nerima district.
 And I'm also picking up some extremely powerful energy signals coming from
just a block away."  She punches a few more buttons.  "Yes, it's the Tendo
Dojo, we made it!"  
	She then wrinkled her face into a frown.  "But this is very odd.  We usually
do get a powerful energy reading from a Negaverse creature, but that's
usually after they've sucked a decent amount of energy already.  Not only do
I not sense any other energy drained individuals in the area, but I'm getting
multiple high energy readings, way above the average human.  This doesn't
make sense..."
	Before she could continue her examination, Serena had begun running towards
the Dojo, with everyone else in tow.
	"See Rei, I did find Nerima after all.  If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't
have found this new negaverse threat either.  I'll be expecting an apology
anytime."  Serena then sticks out her tongue and pulls down one eye.
 "Nyaaaa!"
	"Even meatball heads like you get lucky once in a while!"  Rei does the same
gesture, and the two can be seen fighting as they run off into the distance,
with Amy playing catch up to everyone else.
	"Wait for me," she yelled, still fumbling with her computer.

	"Akane, wait up!" yelled Ranma as he tried to catch up with her.  He turns
the corner into the front yard expecting anything but what he saw.
	Akane was just standing there, her back turned to him.  Even without seeing
her face, it was obvious she was crying.  In the background, Kuno and Shampoo
could still be seen fighting in a haze of smoke.
	"Don't let me keep you from your girlfriends Ranma...  Go have your fun
dog."
	Ranma began to get irritated but...  The sight of Akane crying calmed him.
 And the idea she thought he was a dog hurt him.  Didn't she know that he has
always held out from all these opportunities...  No, of course she didn't he
realized.
	"Akane...me and Kodachi weren't doing anything.  But if it means anything...
I'm..." Ranma trails off.  "What am I doing?" he wondered as his defensive
nature kicked in.  It wasn't like she didn't have other guy suitor's.  "Was I
just about to apologize to that tomboy for no reason!  What does she care
anyway?  What do I care!  Unless..."  He paused as he tried to find another
conclusion, but he couldn't reason another.
	"Akane, I'm...  I'm sor...I'm sorry for what just happened.  Even though
you're a macho chick, I'd never... mean to hurt... you," Ranma whispers out
the last word, half of him wanting her to hear it, the other half afraid of
her reaction to it.
	Kuno is seen flying across the background.  Then running back yelling
"tatatatattattata," performing his quick strike technique.
	Akane turns around, her eyes still soaked with tears.  Despite that, a
certain happiness and eagerness were seen in them.  "Do you *sniff* mean it,
Ranma?" she says wiping the tears from her eyes.
	Ranma begins to walk up to her, not knowing what he was doing but completely
trusting his impulse.  "Akane, I..."
	Before he could finish, a splash of water soaks him through, turning him
back into girl-type.  They both turn around to look at the interferer.  Ukyou
was seen, holding a now empty bucket, with a very upset look on her face.
	"Yeah Ranchan, do you mean it.  Come on, tell me the truth?  Am I the cute
one or is she!"
	Kuno could be seen flying again.
	
	"Moon Prism Power!"
	"Mars Star Power!"
	"Jupiter Star Power!"
	"Venus Star Power!"
	The girls were surrounded by different colored flashes of light as
unexplained backgrounds started popping up behind them.  They began running
into the Dojo as soon as their transformations were finished.
	"Wait up everybody, my readings are concluding that..." Amy tried to say to
them.  As she ran toward everybody else, she noticed everyone else had
already transformed.  "Oh what the hey..., Mercury Star Power!"

	Both of the girls around him were on the verge of tears, but she felt like
she should be the one crying.  "Why me?" she wondered.  She knows she doesn't
want to hurt Akane, but Ukyou is one of her best friends.  She was stuck
between a rock and a hard place.
	"Uhhh, Akane.....ummmm, Ucchan....um um um um...." stammered Ranma.
	"Well!" both Akane and Ukyou shout.
	"Which one of you is Ranma Saotome!" interrupted a blond hared girl with two
long braids dressed in a sailor outfit.
	Everyone stopped to look at the four new sailor clad girls.  Even Kuno and
Shampoo stopped fighting.  Kuno noticed a fifth girl catching up to the rest
of the crowd.
	"I'm Ranma Saotome!" exclaims Ranma happily.  "I doubt this is good news,
but it sure couldn't be worse than fending off both Akane and Ukyou," he
thinks.
	"I am Sailor Moon, champion of justice and defender of the innocent.  I
fight for innocent girls against pervert lechers like you and your master,"

Author: I guess that was pretty long for only two parts, huh?  Oh well.  Any
criticisms or comments would be appreciated.  Send them to schi@uci.edu.  By
the way, I usually like to nearly finish a story before posting it because I
often go back to reedit some things.  For now, I'll be releasing everything
in two part blocks.  The action starts to fly in the next chapter, "Round
One, Fight!"  It's already out, so go read it already!
Jya Ne!

*New Notes:  Well, the next chapter isn't called Round One, Fight for one
thing...  Changed the title too.  Didn't "Different Transformations" sound so
blasse?  Since there really isn't much to say for this part, I'm going to
talk about something that used to plague me alot.  I'm assuming anyone
reading this has read Prom Night (if not, e-mail me at chihokodan@aol.com for
it), and I used to ALWAYS compare the two.  First I thought PN couldn't begin
to compare to Ranma/SM, then when PN hit it's peak, I thought it blew
Ranma/SM away, and now that both are finished...  I love them both and
realize they shouldn't be compared.  Ranma/SM is more of an "epic" story,
whereas PN is more down to earth.  It would be like comparing "The Princess
Bride" to "The Breakfast Club."  They're both great movies, but totally
different genres.  I like both of these fanfics that I wrote, and hope you
love them both too.  Until next time...
