What has gone before:

Ranma and Ryoga accidentally fell into a pond tainted with a special spell
Happousai intended to use on Cologne and Ranko.  They eventually end up in
each other's body, Ranma in Ryoga's body, while Ryoga is in Ranma's body.

Chapter 2
--------------

[Inside the Tendo dojo]

Soun: I see we have guest.

Genma: So true Tendo.

Ukyou: Eh, Konbanwa Mr. Tendo, Mr. Saotome.

Soun: [notices Ukyou's arms around Ryoga] Ranma! What is the meaning of
this?

Genma: [drags Ryoga to one side] What are you doing boy?

Ryoga: Huh? What do you mean Mr. Saotome?

Ukyou: [tapping Ryoga's shoulder] Eh, Ryoga. You better tell them about
your...problem.

Soun: Ryoga? Ranma, what's going on?

Nabiki: [just entering] It's a long story Daddy, but, that's not Ranma.

Genma: [stares at Ryoga] What do you mean, Nabiki? [fixes his glasses] This
is my son.

Cologne: <What did Happy do to poor son-in-law? I better find out.> [slips
out of the room unnoticed]

[Just then Akane and Shampoo enters]

Akane: Stay the hell out of this Shampoo!

Shampoo: No! Ryoga insulted me! He will pay!

Akane: For the last time! He's not Ryoga!

Shampoo: Stupid violent girl!

[Everyone stares at the two who continue to exchange blunt remarks]

Nabiki: Eh, Akane. Where is Ranma?

Soun: He's right here. [points to Ryoga]

Ryoga: <Oh, brother>

Nabiki: Akane!

Akane: [blinks] Huh? [looks around] He's not here?

Shampoo: [smirks] Stupid girl. Airen is over there. [sees Ryoga with Ukyou]
Hey! Spatula girl! Get away from airen. [marches over to Ukyou and Ryoga]

Ukyou: [extends out her hand] Hold it, Shampoo! This is not Ranma. [is
warded off by Shampoo] Hey!

Shampoo: [hugs Ryoga] Aiya! Shampoo takes you out of this place! Too many
stupid people here. [starts to drag Ryoga]

Ryoga: [stumbles a bit] Hey! Shampoo, let go of me!

Ukyou: [runs after Ryoga and Shampoo] Hey! That's my date you're taking!
Wait up! [the three exits]

Soun: What was that all about?

Akane: [while searching in adjacent rooms] Ranma? <He was here a moment
ago?>

Nabiki: Any luck?

[In another part of Nerima]

Ranma: Shut up! I need to think! [finally notices he was alone and the
surroundings is alien to him] Akane? [turns around] Where the hell am I?

[Back in the Tendo dojo]

Akane: He's nowhere in the dojo.

Nabiki: [pauses to think] I don't suppose he's inherited Ryoga's directional
problems.

Akane: [gasp] Oh no!

Kasumi: Why don't we eat first before we go look for Ranma?

Akane: [sigh]<I hope he's all right, wherever he is> [walks with her
sisters]

Nabiki: [pats Akane on the shoulder] I'm sure he's all right.

[Where Ranma is right now]

Ranma: <Hmm...this still looks like Nerima, but where?> [notices figures
running up to him] Huh?

Ryoga: [running] Get away from me Shampoo!

Shampoo: [in hot pursuit] Where are you going Ranma! Don't run away from
Shampoo.

Ranma: [stares in amazement as Ryoga and Shampoo passes by] What the...
<I never thought I'd see myself run away from Shampoo>

Ukyou: [arrives at the scene] Eh, Ranma?

Ranma: [notices Ukyou] Ucchan. What's going on?

Ukyou: [catches her breath] Uh, wait. [whistles out loud to Shampoo] Hey,
Shampoo! Ryoga's here! [points to Ranma]

Shampoo: [blinks] Aiya! There you are! [slams her bon bori on Ryoga and
drags his unconscious figure up to Ranma and Ryoga]

Ranma: [whispering to Ukyou] Well, what this got to do with me?

Ukyou: I don't know...but Akane and Shampoo were fighting about you.

Ranma: What? [receives a head slam from the bon bori] Oww!

Shampoo: That's for calling me a bimbo! [turns her affection to Ryoga]
Airen. I'll take you to Nekohanten now.

Ukyou: [bops Shampoo with her huge spatula] That's not going to happen.

Ranma: [looks at the unconscious Shampoo] You shouldn't have done that.
She'll hunt you down with her kiss of death.

Ukyou: [carries Ryoga] I don't care. She's not going to ruin my date.

Ranma: We shouldn't leave Shampoo here.

Ukyou: Grab her then. [walks away and Ranma follows suit with Shampoo in his
arms]

Ranma: Now where to?

Ukyou: I'm going home.

Ranma: Good. I better talk with Ryoga alone. [notices Ukyou was going the
other way] Hey, the Tendo dojo is this way.

Ukyou: My home is this way. [Ranma pleads with her] Oh, all right!

[The two walks towards the Tendo dojo]

Kasumi: Oh, my. We have guest.

Ukyou: Hello again. [drops Ryoga]

Ranma: [places Shampoo down] Whew! <I didn't realize just walking in Ryoga's
body would be such a chore. I better concentrate whenever I walk around, or
I'll end up lost> [A mallet hits his head] Oww!

Akane: I won't even try to ask why Shampoo ended up in your arms.

Ranma: [just massages his head] <Good thing this is Ryoga's body that
kawaiikune tomboy is maltreating>

Akane: [glaring] Well!

Ranma: Well what? [is hit on the head again] Oww! Stop it!

Akane: Aren't you going to explain yourself?

Ukyou: [taps Akane on the shoulder] My fault. Shampoo was going to take
Ryoga back to the Nekohanten.

Akane: Oh. [smiles at Ranma] Sorry.

Ranma: Che. [walks towards the dinner table] What's for dinner Kasumi? I'm
starved.

Genma: Ryoga...no wait. Ranma, is it true?

Ranma: [sits down] Yeah pops. It's me in here. [pats his chest]

Soun: [crying] Ranma! What are we going to do? How can you marry Akane now?

Ranma: [blinks] Marry Akane? What made you say that?

Soun: What! She's you're fiancée. [sees Ryoga] Or he? Wait. [cries in
frustration]

Ranma: [grabs some food] Can I, at least, eat first?

Genma: What happened boy?

Ranma: Ask Happousai. [devours some food]

Genma and Soun: The Master?

[In the adjacent room]

Akane: What the hell are you doing?

Ukyou: I'm going to apply some first aid. Why?

Akane: The hell you are. That's still Ranma's body!

Ukyou: So?

Akane: Don't you dare undress my fiancée's body!

Ukyou: Jeez, Akane. You're such a hentai! [unbuttons Ryoga's shirt]

Akane: Ukyou, I'm warning you!

Ukyou: Don't be such a baby. We've seen his body before.

Akane: That's beside the point! [tries to grab the medicine] Let me!

Ukyou: By all means. [giggles] Just let me watch, Ok.

Kasumi: Here is the hot water and some towels. Should I call for Dr. Tofu?

Ukyou: [laughs a bit] Nope, looks like Akane got it covered, literally.

Nabiki: [calling out to Ranma] Hey, Ranma. You better see this. You're
fiancée is...taking care of you're body. [giggles]

[Ranma rushed out to see for himself]

Ranma: Jeez. She's only applying first aid. [kneels down] Let me help.

Akane: No, I can do this.

Ranma: [blinks] Eh, Akane. That is my body. I think I should be able to do
anything to it.

Akane: [hands over some bandages] Here...do it yourself! BAKA! [rises and
runs upstairs]

Ukyou: What got into her?

Ranma: [hands to Nabiki the bandages and tries to follow Akane] Here.

Nabiki: [surprised] Eh, you want me to apply this?

Ranma: [grabs the bandages and gives it to Kasumi] On second thought, can
you finish up, Kasumi?

Kasumi: [smiles] Of course, Ranma.

[Ranma rushes upstairs and proceeds to Akane's room]

Nabiki: Want us to help, onee-chan?

Ukyou: Yes, we love to help.

Kasumi: Let's carry both Ryoga and Shampoo to the spare bedroom.

[Ukyou and Nabiki giggle in delight]

[Upstairs the two converse on opposite sides of Akane's door]

Ranma: Akane! What's the matter now?

Akane: Go away!

Ranma: Hey! Is it wrong to offer help?

Akane: I said go away!

Ranma: Fine! [turns around] I'm leaving!

Akane: Fine!

[Ranma comes down the stairs]

Ranma: <Stupid Akane.> [notices Ryoga is missing] Where could my body be
now?

Nabiki: But Kasumi!

Kasumi: I'm sorry, but it's best if we leave them to rest.

Ukyou: Just when...[notices Ranma] Oh. Hi there.

Ranma: Where are they?

Kasumi: I've placed them in the guestroom. They'll be safe there.

[Just then Cologne drops in unexpectedly]

Cologne: Son-in-law?

Ranma: [blinks] What now?

Cologne: I seem to have discovered what caused you and Ryoga to have switch
bodies.

Nabiki: Really? This is interesting.

Ranma: How did that pervert Happousai do it?

Cologne: With some very special potion that allows minds to leave the body.

Ranma: And...and then what?

Cologne: It would seem that you and Ryoga fell into that pond outside at the
same time.

Ukyou: Sounds like the pond outside is cursed?

Kasumi: Oh, my. Really?

Ranma: Right. We did fell into it earlier. So what is the cure? How can I
get back my real body?

Cologne: If you...[pause] marry my Shampoo, then I'll tell you the cure.

Ranma: [glares] What! Why you! [tries to grab Cologne]

Cologne: All right! Actually the spell Happy made won't last more than a
week. So a week from now, you should be in you're body, while Ryoga in that.
[points to Ranma]

Ranma: A week! [hits his head] How am I going to survive a week with this
body?

Ukyou: A week, eh? <This means I'll have both Ryoga...and Ranma for a whole
week. How wonderful.>

Nabiki: <A week. Hmm...sounds long enough for me to rake in some profit>
[grins]

Akane: [listening from up the stairs] <A whole week? Oh, no!>

Cologne: By the way. Has anyone of you seen my Shampoo?

Kasumi: Why, as a matter...[is stopped by several hands covering her mouth]

Ukyou: Eh, not really? We haven't seen her.

Ranma: Uh, Yeah. That's right.

Cologne: Well, I better go look for her. It is getting late.[leaves]

Kasumi: Why didn't you tell her that Shampoo's here?

Ukyou: I still want to live, Kasumi.

Nabiki: Hmm...how much are you willing to pay to keep that information a
secret?

Everyone: Nabiki!

Nabiki: Jeez, don't get angry at me. I was just trying to help. [walks away]

Ranma: [turns towards the stairs]<I better try again and see Akane.>
[notices Akane up the stairs and in a frenzied rush to get back to her room]
<Oh, Akane. What shall I do with you?> [starts to climb up]

Ukyou: Eh, Ranma?

Ranma: Yeah.

Ukyou: [smiles] Thanks.

Ranma: No problem, Ucchan. What are friends for? [disappears up the stairs]

Ukyou: <Yeah, what are friends for anyway?>
