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. ******************** Soun: Kasumi,Nabiki,Akane looking into the kitchen Soun: Kasumi Kasumi: Yes, father Looking into a bedroom Soun: Nabiki Nabiki: what do you want? Looking into another bedroom Soun: Akane, now were is that girl? Woman's voice: What's wrong Soun? Soun: Akane's not in her room do you know where she is? 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 Nodoka: don't tell me those boys are still attacking you every day. Akane:(looking downcast) yes. Nodoka: well don't worry that will change Akane: Not with Kuno around. Nodoka: I'm going to the market for some items. I'll be back a little later. ************* Kasumi: Fiancee? Soun: Yes, the son of an old friend of mine. If one of you were to marry him, and carry on our schools then our families would be secure. Recently they crossed into China. Nabiki: wow, China Akane:[Thinks] so they hiked all the way to China big deal. Kasumi: How old is he? Younger men are so... young. Nabiki: Is he cute? Soun: I don't know Nabiki: You don't know Soun: I've never met him Akane:[Thinks] oh this is just great, bad enough he gets us engaged but to have never even met the person... Akane's thoughts are interupted by a noise comming from the font door. Nabiki and Soun start to get up and head for the door. Nabiki: That must be them. Soun: Saotome my friend Kasumi gets up to follow them out, and Akane follows behind her still scowling. Kasumi: I hope he's older than me. Nabiki and Soun return running. Akane and Kasumi come to where Soun and Nabiki have stoped running. a panda with Ranma over its sholder and Ryoga walking beside it. Kasumi: So father this is your friend? Soun just shakes his head. Nabiki: So this panda just decided to drop by. Soun shakes his head again. Ranma: Put me down pop, your scarin them spittless. the panda puts Ranma down beside Ryoga. Soun points at Ryoga Soun: You wouldn't be... Ryoga: Nope, I'm Ryoga Hibiki.[point twards Ranma] This is Ranma Soun: So Your Ranma. Ranma: I'm Ranma Saotome, sorry about this. Nabiki: He is cute. Soun grabes Ranma into a huge. He pauses as he relizes that Ranma has a very large chest for a boy and squieses Ranma a few times. Soun takes a step back and stairs at Ranma. Nabiki looks at Soun then steps up to Ranma and pokes Ranma's chest. Nabiki: Ranma's not a boy dady, he's a girl Soun did the only thing he could think of, faint. ************* Kasumi: Poor father, I bet he's dissapointed. Nabiki: He's dissapointed, what about me. Soun: I thought Genma's son Ranma was a boy. Nabiki:[grabing Ranma's breast] Does this look like a boy to you dady Ranma: I wish you'd stop that Akane: You herd her nabiki, stop that she's a guest. [to Ranma] I'm Akane wana be friends? Ranma and Ryoga: sure Akane scowls slightly at Ryoga, but it vanishes quickly. Akane:[thinks] well he hasn't attacked me yet, so maybe...[to Ranma] you study kempo right Ranma: a little. Akane: why don't we have a little match then. Ranma: o-ok. Ranma, Ryoga and Akane get up and head twards the dojo. when they enter the dojo Ryoga sits near one of the walls and Ranma and Akane take potisions in the center of the dojo. Akane enters a fighting stance while Ranma just stands waiting. Akane:[thinks] maybe she dosn't know any martial arts. Better take it easy. Akane launched a simple punch twards Ranma, but Ranma merrly dodges to the side of it. Akane:[thinks] Ok, maybe she does Akane then launches herself into a quick series of punches and kicks that are all dodged. Akane:(getting frustrated) whats wrong attack me. Akane launches into another set of attackes and everyone of them are dodged again. Akane:[thinks] what, is she reading my moves. This time for real then She lauches herself into her fastest attack. For a moment it looks like it will connect, but then Ranma leaps up. The next thing she notices is that she is being poked in the back of the head. Akane turnes around. Akane walking twards the exit: Your prettey good, good thing your not a boy. on her way out Akane gives Ryoga a sour look, but says nothing. Ranma: what was that about? Ryoga: I don't know, but I don't think she likes me very much. Ranma: Just giver her some time. she probably thiks your going to be engaged to one of them, quite possibly her. ********** Kasumi: Ryoga you can have this room. Ranma and Ryoga put down their backpacks Kasumi: Ranma you can sleep with Akane. Ranma: Uh, Kasumi I don't think thats a good idea. Kasumi: You've been working out haven't you Ranma: Yes... Kasumi: Here you can take a bath now. Ranma: O-ok ********** Ranma dumps some cold water over her self Ranma: thats cold ********** Nabiki walks into the kitchen Nabiki: Kasumi, who is that strange man with father? Kasumi: I don't know, would you tell Akane she can take her bath now Nodoka walks into the kitchen Nodoka: I'm back. Have they gotten here yet? Kasumi: yes, Ranma's in the bath right now though *********** Akane enters the bathroom and starts to undress, noticing Ranma's cloths. Akane:[thinks] Ranma must already be in their, guess we can take our baths together. ******* Ranma:[thinks] What to do.... Well may as well go out as I am. The'll find out sooner or later anyway. Ranma stands up just as the door is opened. he looks over to see a naked Akane coverd by a towl that leaves little to his imagination. ******* Akane had just opened the door to the furo to see a very naked man standing in the furo. She stared at him a moment, then noticed him staring back at her. Calmly she steped back and closed the door. she put some of her cloths back on then left the bathroom, and screamed. she ran down the stairs and picked up the table. Akane: I'm gona kill him Kasumi: whats wrong Akane? Akane: There's a pervert in the bathroom. Nabiki: Well why did't you just clober him then? Akane: I got scared ok! Boy walks into the room. Kasumi: Who are you? Nodoka walks into the room Ranma: I'm Ranma Saotome, sorry about this. Nodoka runs over to Ranma. Akane drops the table. Nodoka:[huging Ranma] Ranma how are you. Kasumi: You mean you were that girl from before? Ranma: yes Nodoka: What do you mean, was he the girl from before Kasumi: I don't know the hole story but when Ranma got here there was a girl,[points at Ranma] Ranma Saotome, a boy [points at Ryoga] Ryoga Hibiki, and a panda, they called it pops but I don't know where it went to. Nodoka:[looking over at Genma agrily] You had better have a good explination for this Genma Saotome or else.[glances to a corner where we see a long item that is wraped in cloth.] Genma glances where his wife had looked to. when he sees what it is he pales. Genma:(nurvisly) U-uh yes dear. Its nice to see you again. Nodoka: yes, it is, but you had better start explaining. NOW! Ranma & Ryoga: Whats going on? Nodoka:[to Ranma] What didn't he tell you? Ranma: Tell me what? Nodoka: About the promis he made to me before he left with you on the training trip. Ranma:[Glaring at Genma] No he didn't. Nodoka: well he promissed to rais you to be a man omong men or you both would commit seppuku. everyone exept Genma and Nodoka: Seppuku?! Ryoga: gee Ranma you don't have anything to worry about then Nodoka:(hopefuly) he dosen't Ryoga: execpt for your jusenkyo curse that is. Ranma: Your not helping Ryoga. Nodoka: Genma you had better start explaining _NOW_! Genma: Ok, I can explain everything. As you all know this is Ranma Saotome, I am Genma Saotome Ranma: and this is Ryoga Hibiki.We found him some time ago. When we found him he was lost, we took him home and waited three days for someone to return to his house but they never did. It was dicided that he would come with us and we would check back at his house from time to time. It seems however that his family has a horrible sence of direction, and was never at home so Ryoga stayed with us. We kept him from wondering off most of the time, but every once in a while he would escape us and we would have to search for about four days to a week to find him again. about two months ago Ryoga wanderd off again while we were looking for jusenkyo. Unfortunatly for us he found it, and if it wasn't for him we would never have found it. The springs there have a strange cure on them that who ever falls into them takes the form of whatever downd there. I fell into the spring of drownd girl, pop fell into the spring of drownd panda and Ryoga fell into the spring of black pigglet. cold water changes us into our cursed forms and hot water changes us back. Soun: Your problem ain't so bad after all, Kasumi she's 19, Nabiki 17 and Akane she's 16 pick anyone of them and they'll be your new fiancee. Kasumi: I think Akane would be the wises choice. Nabiki: couldn't agree more sis. Akane: what why me? Nabiki: well you hate guys right, well Ranma's part girl. Nodoka: GENMA! How could you looking for a dangerus place like that. Ranma: and you didn't even speak a word of chinese, so when the guid tried to worn us about the curses you coudn't understand what he was saying. Genma: Ranma you sound like a girl.[ thows Ranma into the Koi pond] How I'm shamed my own son. whern't you prepared to lay down you life Ranma: My life yes, my manhoods another question though. Ranma kicks genma into the pond. Kasumi brings out some hot water. Kasumi: you sure have some interesting freinds father. Nodoka: Ranma! Genma! stop it at once and come in here. Ranma-chan: yes mom Genma-panda:[writen sing] yes dear. *********** Nodoka: now as for you two commiting seppuku, I don't see the need for it yet, but you Genma are on thin ice. Now as for this engagement, I am not thrilled about it, but I will let it stand for now, but when they reach the age of majority they will have the choice to keep it or not. is that clear?[Nodoka waits for Genma and Soun to nod their heads] good Akane: Me marry that pervert, no way. Ranma: Me a pervert Akane: you saw me in the nude you lech Ranma: you took a pretty good look youself Akane: Its differnt when a girl looks at a guy. Ranma: well its not like I've never seen a naked girl before, right I mean I've seen my self plenty of times, and I'm better built to boot. Akane grabes the table and slams it over his head. ************** Kasumi: Oh your awake now. Nodoka: don't be to harsh on her Ranma, Akane just has had a hard time with boys lately. Nabiki: oh like that explains it all Mrs. Saotome. *********** Ranma: what kind of a girl is she anyway? Ranma heads into the bathroom and gets undressed. he splashes himself with some cold water and heads twards the furo. suddenly the door opens and Akane is there. Akane: why you...Pervert. Akane slaps Ranma in the face. ********* Nabiki: you were both girl at the time so it was ok. Akane: Ok, ok isn't what I would call it Genma: so she has spunk, that makes a fiancee that much more cute. Ranma: cute is not the word. Ranma and Akane turn and glance at each other. Ranma:[thinks] she is deffinitly not cute. end for now
