A-hem [deeep breath]
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
Oh my!
: Kuno: (grimly) Guten abend, Frau Blutdruck, hier sprict Herr Kuno.
: Kann Ich mit der Doktor sprechen, bitte?
: Kuno: Danke. (pauses) Doctor Van Helsing? Yes, it is Tatewaki
: Kuno.
Van Helsing? Frau *Blutdruck*?! Bwaaaahahahahahaaa!
*smirk* I was thinking as I wrote that, "Sebastian's the only one who's
gonna get that one.".. I was wrong, as it turned out. Zen spotted it
immediately.
: Soun: (chewing) Wonderful chicken, Kasumi.
:
: Kasumi: (smiling) Duck, father. It's duck.
UH OH! When she starts serving cat, *run*, Ranma!
Sounds like a Chris Willmore/Kun-chan fic. :)
: Nabiki: (whispering) Remember that plan we had to get him to pay
: attention? Ready to try it?
:
: Akane: (nodding) Ready when you are.
:
: (Nabiki suddenly glomps Akane, kissing her full on the lips. Akane
: goes through the motions, looking rather embarrassed and
: unconvincing.)
:
: Ranma: (staring) Um, Akane? Nabiki? Hey....
:
: Genma: (gaping) Tendo...?
:
: Soun: Kasumi, could you pass the salt?
:
: Kasumi: Here you go, father.
D'oh! Of course the two slightly-out-of-touch-with-reality
members of the Tendou household would notice nothing. I mean,
Kasumi wouldn't even raise a brow if she *did* notice.
*nod* But _does_ drop dinner after seeing Akane's hair has been cut in the
anime/manga.
: (Nabiki lunges forward a bit, and she and Akane fall beneath the
: table with a crash.)
:
: Ranma: (pale) Oh man... I know I always call her a tomboy, but I
: never thought....
Hey, you've still got a chance, Ranma. Just keep up the cold
showers...
"Ranma, I think Akane's a lesbian."
"Huh? No way, man! She loves me!"
"Err, Ranma.. that doesn't exactly mean I'm wrong, y'know..."
: Nabiki: That's down at the Presbyterian Church. This is the
: wedding of Soun and Kasumi Tendo.
Uh, I hope that's meant to be "weddings". Nabiki and Akane were
enough incest for one episode. This could be taking the "Kasumi
replacing her mother" thing a *bit* too far.
Ack! Whoops, need to fix that, yer right. Although I do believe there was
a fic about that...
: Ranma: (turning to Saburo) We gotta stop that thing. Akane's in
: that church, and so are the rest of the Tendos! Oh yeah, and Dad
: too.
Heh, this is a boy who knows his priorities.
Were it just Genma, he'd be on his way to Kyoto.
: Saburo: It's 30 miles to Nerima. We've got a full tank of gas, a
: carton of okonomiyaki, there's an alien spaceship hanging over the
: city, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
:
: (They think this over for all of a nanosecond.)
:
: Ranma and Saburo: (together) Hit it.
Waaaahhh, I *love* it! Good setup with the sunglasses, too.
Couldn't quite fit in "We're on a mission from God".
: Nabiki: (reading tag) To Kasumi, new Native Planetary Governor,
: from the Empire.
I knew it! Kasumi rulez!
Scary thought, ne?
: Zen Monk: (peering at them) STOP!
:
: Ranma: Huh?
:
: Zen: (waving his arms impressively) If you marry that beast at
: your side, you shall die an early, horrible death! Destruction! Woe!
:D :D :D :D
Shoulda kept the "Monk" part. The wooden-mallet-over-the-head
approach kinda spoils the humour here. Still a *great* gag.
I think Akane deserves to get to slam 'ol Zen into LEO at least once. :)
: Akane: (straightening her dress, flattened disks of lead fall off) I
: told Oneechan the Kevlar dress was a good idea.
And yet another well-prepared gag.
All the way back in Ep 7, yup. :)
Of course, in NS "well-prepared" just means "hey, I said ----- back in
---, that would let me say ------ here! Yeah!"
: Ranma: (angrily) Huh? Perfect Japanese? You're not Shampoo!
:
: Nabiki: (in a flash of inspiration) That's right! Oh, Ranma, it was
: horrible! This demon killed Shampoo and took her place! The
: humanity of it all!
:D :D :D :D
Smart girl. Ooohh, gotta lover her, gotta love her.
Unless, of course, you're Akane. ;)
: (Zoom in on Soun and Kodachi, still locked in a kiss. Fade to black.)
:
: END OF EPISODE 8
:
: Epilogue to come! Wait for it.....
There's still the case of the disappearing Institut Rats to
solve - and it began with a wish...
*chuckle* While the Rats don't appear in the sequel, they _do_ do straight
from NS to another fic. Which isn't out yet. ;)
