It's again time to send all these brainchidren of mine out, prepare to the
worts... I also send again some of those ideas that were send out in last
time because I haven't seen any FF.s with those ideas on them (so I'm
stupporn and pushy with these...). Here ya go:


1. Once again Ranma leaves to a training trip  and of course their parents
send Akane with him. Now, this wouldn't be so bad (considerening) and they
might actually come along (just remember that with these two *that* has very
unusual meaning), but the Shampoo and Ukyo deside to drop in (more than
likely after visiting Nabiki) and the fun begins.
 In some valley on the wilder parts of Japan all the girls get into
cat-fight (possibly right after both or just the other other appears) and
get into a very close range fight during wich they all go rolling over and
into a spring that 'just happens' to be there. Ranma, who is in his (her?)
cursed form at the time (possibly reason or just the side effect of the
fight), appears just in time to see how they all drop in to the spring and,
seeing that none of them is able to swim for some reason, dives in to save
them. Only to find out that all of them, except Ranma herself, have crown
suddenly much yanger and childish (age from four to six, pick age you like)
and they all keep calling her 'mother' and acting to that too.
 All this mess has called around near living hermit or monk (or both, or
more than one: pick one you like), who tells that the spring that they just
got out is legendary 'spring of youth' (or someting else to that effect),
that will return those immersed in to it to their youth or (in cases like
this) childhood (unfortunately in this case recain most of their that time
personality and lose most of their conscious memories about thee time after
this age) and that a) luckily the effects are only temporary keeping those
affected in their  current state for only few months, after wich they return
to their normal age and state of mind with accelerated rate within month ;
b) for some unknown reason spring has strange effect to those with Jusenkyo
(or any other water related) curses: it locks those with curses in that form
they had when they dropped to the spring during the time they are under the
effect of the springs and those who were on their cursed forms are
unaffected by the springs ability to make people yanger.
 In other words Ranma has now three little girls  who all keep talking and
acting like she was their mother in her hands (reason why they keep doing
this is very simple: none of them has mother on this time and they all want
subsconciously prevent this memory and the following pain by ponding to the
first older female they meet, take a ques who that one might be...) and they
are very far from Nerima with no fitting clothes or other things to the girls.
 All the rest I leave to your own imagination, but here is few points to
think. After they have succeeded on returning to Nerima they have few
problems, namely Mousse and Ryoga (and possibly Kuno and Kodachi) and the
fact that all girls are very likely refuse to leave their 'mothert' for any
lenght of time. Also, how will their puberty go, remember: it's compressed
in only few short days and how will they react after they are all back to
normal.

2. After one more big fight between Ranma and Akane (with Akane again ending
their engacement) he has, at last, had enought and desides that it's high
time to do some serious thinking about all his engagements, his curse and
his life in general. To ensure that he has possibility to do this all
without interruptions or other messes he goes to training trip without more
than leaving message where he tells that he has gone to training trip and
doesn't know where, neither does he know when he returns.
 After finding this one out Akane gets one of her biggest temper tantrums
because Ranma left without telling to her and before she had a change to
craciously forgive him. After which she goes to into a deep depression (not
one of Ryogas level thought) for excactly same reasons and desides to find
Ranma so they can talk things out. Reason why she's very likely to succeed
on this is very simple: she seems to have ability to appear on the place in
excactly worst possible moment of Ranmas POV, it's pretty likely that she is
able to find him on other times too when seriously needed.
 Of course reactions from other people are more than obvious.

3. I loaned basic idea to this from someone's old ML, please don't kill me
if you remember this one. Anyways, for some reason ('Cologne uses some
shiatsu technicue and messes it', 'Shampoo's spices get messed with Akane's
cooking', 'Happosai's newest trick goess to hell' or 'all above together')
Ranma gets suddenly ability to generate HUGE amounts of raw ki but he is not
able to control all this energy too well:
 See (the way I anyway have understanted it), japanise 'ki' is not 'only'
living force (opposing chinese 'chi' that is 'only' just that), it's also
energy generated by very strong and firm emotions (this is why Ranma uses
his confidense to power Moko Takabisha and Ryoga uses his depression to
Shishi Hodokan: they are their most dominant, strongest and firmest of their
emotions [Ranma tried to use Shishi Hodokan but wasn't good on it]).
 This next part is bit of speculation but try to hang on:  the way 'ki' and
'emotions' affect and react to each others is bit like 'electricity' and
'electrick magnet' (if this went wrong remember that english isn't my mother
lamcuage): electricity creates magnetic field and vice versa, strong
emotions create ki and much ki affects to emotions enchanting them
(irritation to anger, anger to rage, satisfaction to happines, happines to
pure bliss). In other words: when Ranma feels something strongly he creates
automaticly uncontrolled ki-blast or some other manifestation of his inner
turmoil.
 When Ranma's ki-level hits the roof and throught it he starts manifesting
other abilities: enchanting his physical abilities, loses need to eat and
sleep, goes *really* hyper (I don't have any idea what would happen if miss
Hinako would try to use her technigues to him in this state). How he and all
else would react to all this is open to speculation.

4. Coming from the same as the one above: Cologne concludes that she will
lose her face among amazons if Shampoo doesn't return to China with Ranma
soon, and desides she can't waste more time supporting Shampoo's fantasies
of Ranma as willing groom anymore. Shampoo has to deal with the question of
supporting her great-granmothers plan to enslave Ranma, or go against it and
risking practically certain banishmend from her village forever.

5. And again idea from someone else, been quite a time since this one came
out: Whole Tendo Dojo with all Ranma cast is suddenly trasported to
El-Hazard, right after they are starting to recover from tha war against
Bugrom. How will they deal with Ranma & Co., especially when they start to
manifest their dimensional abilities?

6. There's been few FF.s of someone in Ranma cast getting visit and one wish
from Goddes Relief Office, but how about fic where someone from Tenchi Myo
gets one.

And now: the new and original;

7. There was little depate some time ago about other children of Saotomes
and possible conflicts that could follow this kind of idea, so how about
this: it's known that Genma had one fiancee before Nodoka, whom he left
because Nodoka was more beatifull and richer, we also know that he doesn't
really have much sense of honor as long as he's pretty sure that he can slip
from the consecuences.
 So one day Ranma finds out that he's not the only Saotome of his
generation, and that there is actually two other children of Genma: daughter
with Genma's old girl-friend whom he met again little after his wedding and
son with his first fiancee, namely Ukyo and Ryoga. This story could be
placed as well before or *after* Nodoka find out about Ranma's curse. 
 Both possibilities were taken from other fanfics, Ukyo from 'Expancion
Card' (I don't remember writers name), Ryoga from 'Ranma 1/2 Naisen' by
SMoon Usagi and RyougaLost. Please don't sue me.

8. X-over of 3x3-Eyes and Takahashi's Mermaid-series. Both have two
immortals, boy and girl, all of them search a way to became normal human. In
both of them, girls are in certain way naive and childish with crowing
fondnes (and/or love) to their companion, who are pretty obviously in love
of those they protect. What more you could ask. It's more than likely that
Pai/Parvati has met Yuta during his search for cure to his state in
Himalaya, BTW.

9. X-over with Ranma 1/2 and Sailor Moon, alternate. What if Ranma wasn't
engagent to Akane Tendo, but Rei Hino by her fathers last wish to his old
friend Genma so that shrine his family has been taking care for centcuries
would have next generation taking care of it.
 Ranma as martial artist and travelling shinto-priest in training (I don't
know if they really have travelling priesthood, it could maybe be somekind
family tradition to train next heir of Saotome line on road, and most of at
least manga shinto-priests and -priestesses do seem to have martial arts
training) with curse and replacing Yuuchiro around temple. He could maybe
come around sometime after Rei has become Senshi. He would  propably be more
spiritual and mystically well gifted (if he took martial arts so seriously,
there is no reason why he couldn't do same with other areas), Neko-ken is
open, but it *could* be problem with Luna and later Artemis around. Wether
or not Ranma would know about Senshi is open question but it could be pretty
funny if he did know this (just think about it, Ranma and Rei arguing about
who of them has rescued other more often).

Thats that, use freely any or all ideas or parts of them that you find
interesting.
