Prologue
-------------
[The dojo training hall exploded in a billow of splintered wood and saw
dust]
Ranma: Damn it! Ryoga! You didn't have to do that!
Ryoga: [breathing hard] Ranma! I'll get you for messing with me!
[Another hole erupted through a wall on the dojo]
Ranma: <I've got to stop him or he'll destroy everything.> KACHU TENSHIN
AMAGURIKEN!!!
Ryoga: Ranma! Aaahhh! [slumps on the floor]
Ranma: [breathing hard] Whew! [A mallet hits his head] Oww!
Akane: Ranma! How dare you destroy the dojo! [bops Ranma's head again]
Ranma: Oww! Akane! Oww! It wasn't me. Oww! Will you stop it!
Akane: [blinks] Ryouga?
Ranma: Hai! [gets bopped on the head again] Hey!
Akane: It's probably your fault anyway!
[Ranma and Akane continue to fight even during fixing the dojo]
[In the yard, standing over the pond]
Happousai: [pouring some sort of liquid on the pond] Now, this will have to
do. [throws away the bottle and pours a kettle of hot water] <Hot water
activates the potion.> [throws away the kettle] Now to get Cologne and then
Ranko. Sweeto!
[Inside the dojo]
Ranma: Will you stop that!
Akane: And exactly what you want me to stop?
Ranma: [looks at his hand that's been receiving Akane's mallet strikes]...
Akane: If you just stop moving your hand, I'll be able to hammer that board
properly! [strikes away and smashes Ranma's hand again]
Ranma: Oww! Why do you let me have that hammer!
Akane: Oh, no! It's my hammer!
Ranma: Then, find someone else to hold the nail for you!
Akane: Ryoga hands are already sore! Now hold still!
[In another side of the room]
Ryoga: I wonder how Ranma can stand Akane?
Nabiki: Yeah, it's so pitiful to even look at them go at it sometimes.
Ryoga: I'm happy that I've gotten over her. Though I still love her.
Nabiki: Oh, by the way. How is Kounji-san?
Ryoga: [blinks] Damn it! That's right, I forgot all about our date tonight.
[finishes nailing a board]
Nabiki: You have a date?
Ryoga: Hai. [start towards the doorway] Please excuse me to the two of them.
[turns his back]
[At the other side of the room]
Ranma: Let me have that!
Akane: BAKA!
Ranma: Kawaiikune! [is hit by the mallet and is sent flying across the room
and towards the outside]
Akane: Ranma no BAKA!
[Ranma slammed into Ryoga and both of them land on the pond outside]
Ranma: [scratches his head] Oww! That tomboy will get it! [rises and
confronts Akane]
Ryoga: [rises up] Damn it! Now I better change clothes before I meet Ucchan.
[walks off]
Ranma: [steps into the dojo] Akane!
Akane: [blinks] What is it Ryoga?
Nabiki: [blinks] I thought you had a date with Ucchan?
Ranma: [blinks][looks around] What are you talking about?
Akane: [Walks out the dojo looking for Ranma] Ranma? Come on and let's
finish this.
Ranma: Hey, I'm over here.
Akane: [a bit irritated] Don't be foolish Ryoga. Now where did that BAKA go
to now?
Ranma: Akane! Are you blind? I'm over here.
Nabiki: Are you all right Hibiki-san?
Ranma: [blinks] Hibiki-san? Nabiki I'm not Ryoga, I'm Ranma.
Akane: Will you shut up Ryoga. If you don't hurry up you'll never get to the
Uutchan on time.
Ranma: What are you two talking about?
[Near the Uutchan]
Ukyou: [looks at her watch] We'll he's late again.
Ryoga: Ucchan!
Ukyou: [blinks] Huh? Ranma?
Ryoga: [hugs Ukyou] I was afraid you left already?
Ukyou: Eh, Ran-chan. What are you doing here?
Ryoga: [blinks] Ranma? It's me, Ryoga.
Ukyou: Ryoga? Ranma what are you trying to pull here?
Ryoga: I'm not Ranma.
Ukyou: <Hmm...Ranma is up to something, but what?> Um, I know you probably
don't approve of me and Ryoga, Ranma. But please leave us alone.
Ryoga: [a bit irritated] Ucchan, this is not funny anymore.
[Back at the Tendo dojo]
Akane: Ranma, where the hell are you?
Ranma: What is wrong with you people, I said I'm over here?
Akane: Listen, Ryoga if you don't stop this...foolishness I'll...[brings out
her mallet and hits Ranma]
Ranma: Oww! You'll pay for that Kawaiikune tomboy!
Akane: [blinks] Ranma?
Ranma: [blinks] Yes! That's what I've been trying to tell you!
Nabiki: If that's you, Ranma. Then what the hell are you doing in Ryoga's
body?
Ranma: Ryoga's what? [runs inside the house to look in front of the mirror]
[A huge scream echoes throughout the dojo, and was quickly followed by a
very similar scream near the okonomiyaki shop]
