Ranma walked into the livingroom at the Tendo house and stopped abruptly,
the tension in the air was palpable.  All four of his fiancees were there,
looking at him, this made him nervous.  Nabiki was there with her ledger,
and the gleeful smile on her face was downright frightening.

"What's goin' on here?" Ranma asked tentatively.

Nabiki stood and approached Ranma.

"Well, I believe I may have come up with the solution to all of your
problems.

Ranma snorted, "Yeah, how much is it gonna cost me?"

"Ranma, why so defensive?" she chided as he flinched away from what was
meant to be a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

"Actually," Nabiki continued, "everyone here has put together the money,
it won't cost you a single yen.

Ranma was curious now, but still wary.  "Everone here?  What about you?
What are you getting out of it?"

"I have contributed as well," Nabiki answered.  "And although my purposes
are different, I will get the same thing the others do."

While saying this, Nabiki guided Ranma to where she had been sitting, and
indicated that he should be seated.

"We are going to make 4 clones of you so everybody can have one."
