Thanks for the comments, you guys!  I guess I can't just let it lie around
anymore. :( Oh well.  It'll give me something to do.

For those who referred to present/past tense, I was aware of that. ^_^  I
tried correcting it one time but I was just lazy that day and couldn't decide
between past or present.

<<At first I got angry when I thought this was going to be ANOTHER bash
Akane and hook Ranma up with another fiance story.>>
Me?  Put Ranma w/ someone *other* than Akane?? LoL!  Not likely! ^_^
 Although Akane *could* improve in her listening skills sometimes.... <duck>
;)

<<You need to continue. Tell us who Mizuko is, how she
knew Ranma when they were young, why he behaves so differently around
her, and maybe a hint as to what effect having met her is going to have
on the Ranma/Akane relationship.>>
Oops.  Guess I forgot to mention this is a work in progress. <blush>
 Actually, I haven't really decided on Mizuko's role in Ranma's life.  I have
a couple ideas, but I'm just playing (writing?) it by ear.

<<Just one question.  Is this girl Ranma's half sister?  I ask this
because of Genma's sadness and reluctance to see her.  Or possible
foster family?>>
<blink> ... Hm....

Sorry if you don't see more of this for awhile.  Email me w/ a kick in the
butt if I take too long. ;)

(BTW.....
Ranma's got a secret!!  Hee hee.)
