Hello,

I noticed an error Gary missed... *waves* [Sorry Gary]

  Less than a second had passed, but the driver could have sworn it
took him a full minute to realise what hat happened.
                                                         ^^^
"Well, officer, this  black tophat flew out of nowhere and broke this guys
neck." ;>

 "Yes, er, but, you see, it was late. In fact, it just arrived!" He
kept up his smiled - that wasn't even a lie!

his smile

his smiling ?

  A policeman motioned for them to come [forward].   ?

 "Ranma," Soun said to the boy. "Genma ... you're father ... he's
dead." Had he not already emptied himself of tears, he would have
cried again.

The man's his own well, he can't run out.  In fact, on days when the city
is low on water they put Soun on top of the reseviour and tell him Akane
said she doesn't love him anymore.  Instant refill. <G>

Have to agree with Mr. Kleppe, this is an interesting idea.  Is Ranma going
to come out and admit the Ranko thing right away?  Or will he wait untill
things have settled down a little more?  "Oh btw, your dead husband was Mr.
Panda."  Was it just me or did Kasumi seem a leetle too on top on things.
I can see Nabiki as the one noticing the past due date and offering to tell
Genma 'a secret' for a fee, of course.

It will be interesting to see where you take this.  Keep up the good work. :)

Warr
