Ranma 1/2:


 insert standard disclaimer here


   The screen opens to a man reading a postcard.  He turns it over
and we can see what it says

     Soun,

  Bringing Ranma from china
  Be there on the 5th of april

    Genma

  Soun looks over to a calender that is hanging on the wall and we
can see that it is april 3rd

Soun:  How I've waited for this day!! [thinks] Better not tell them
though, don't want to get them upset before he gets here.

   Soun winces thinking of the last time he upset Akane and Nabiki.
 he gets up and goes to the phone.

We can here a voice answer the phone, but we can't understand what is
bining said.

Soun: Its Soun

Soun: yes, he will be here on the fith

Soun: Ok, see you then, bye.


                             ************

Girl:[thinks]  Great its raining again just what I need now.

Boy: Too bad you don't have an umbrella Ranma

Ranma-chan: yeah, well if it wernt for pop draging us out here in
   the first place I wouldn't have needed one would have I.

Boy: Stop your whinning.

Ranma-chan: Just because you always have that stupid umbrella with
   you.

Boy: well we are going to meat your fiancee.

Ranma-chan: which wasn't my idea, and I still say the whole thing
  sucks. Picking a fiancee for me without even asking.
  
  Ranma is suddenly attacked by a large panda.  It takes several
swipes at Ranma, but all miss.

Boy: well would it have made a difference if he had asked?

Ranma-chan: No! but that's besides the point Ryoga.

  Ranma lauches her own attack against the panda and knocks it down.

Ranma-chan: We'er going back to china now, so suck on that old man.

  Ranma turns and begings walking away followed closely by Ryoga who
is still holding his red umbrella above his head. Behind them the
panda is getting up and starts walking twards them. when it is within
reach it smacks Ranma over the head with a sing knocking her out.

Ryoga: Do you really think that was nessesary?

  All Ryoga got in response was a growl that scared off all the
spectators that had been gathering.

                        ********************

Woman's voice: What's wrong Soun?

Woman's voice: yes, I'll go get her.

Soun:  Thank you Nodoka

*************

  We see Akane kneeling in front of a cinder block getting ready
to strike it.

Akane: Kyaaaa

  The cinder block goes to pieces, one of which stops in font of
someones foot.

Nabiki: This is what makes the boys think you are so wierd Akane

Akane:  Well not everyone thinks the world revolves around _BOYS_
  Nabiki.

Nabiki: well I guess you wont want to here about this then

Nodoka: Akane-chan your father wants to talk to you.

Akane:  Ok, Thanks aunti Saotome

Akane: Not with Kuno around.

 later.
