This is the first draft of Trapped Chapter 1. Chapters 2 and 3 should
follow tonight. Chapter 4 will hopefully be out next Sunday, rounding 
out
volume 1 of the new series I'm making. I'm currently calling Ranma 1/2
Teen Marriage (If you have a better name suggestion please tell me).

Cog:   		Compatible Interface
EVE-1:  	I Adore Akane
Mizu:   	Dimwits in Love!
Boggs:		Thrashing Sex Monkeys!

This story somewhat seriously deals with marriage and hazards delt
within, so parts of this story (and some of the series) are lemon 
scented

Boggs:  So you're saying sex is a hazard of marriage?
Mizu:  Well Akane is kind of rough trade.

The main part of the series will have some sexual references, but I 
will
try to keep it less than what one normally sees on TV and Ranma 1/2.

Boggs:  Why?
Mizu:  That's OK.  He'll try, but he'll fail.  

 It was a quit Saturday morning in January at the Tendo Dojo. The

Boggs:  So everyone gave up.
Mizu:  Come to think of it, everyone does quit, except Mousse.  
Cog:  As an informative note, Japanese High Schools have classes
on Saturday.  Sunday is the only day they have off during the 
school year.  

weather was unseasonably warm, and forecasts for next several days have
highs in 60 to 70 degrees.

Cog:  The author needs to go over his manuscript and change the
the present tenses to past tenses.  Often, they are in conflict
even in the same sentence.

"**THUD**" responded Akane's ever present hammer to Ranma joke, 

Boggs:  No, Ranma not joke, Ranma jerk!
Cog:  That should be "Ranma's joke"

"Do you have any idea how to get them out?" asked a half-angry 
half-sad Soun.

Boggs:  So his left half's angry and his right half's sad?
EVE-1:  This reaction doesn't ring true at all.  The question
is calm, and Soun's emotions aren't that subtle.  He should
either be an towering rage, bullying Happosai into an answer,
or in the depths of despair, weeping about how it could be
centuries before his daughter finds a way to escape.  

[You forgot how to get them out!] a signed stated and a loud growl is
heard from Genma as he batted Happosai over Japan using the sign as
baseball bat.

Cogg:  "was heard from Genma...as _a_ baseball bat"
Boggs:  More like a cricket bat, or a polo mallet really.  

 Mean while in an impossibly big empty spheroid room, 2 small

Boggs:  So, who's this guy "Mean", anyway?

figures appeared. Despite no visible source of light, anything that can
be seen is visible, and what is visible is a very naked Ranma and Akane.

Boggs:  Yes!  I smell lemon!
Mizu:  It's plainly visible that the word "visible" isn't as 
funny as you think. 
Cog:  Although Ranma and Akane may seem dwarfed by the emptiness
surrounding them, they are not in fact "small figures" except by 
comparison.  
Boggs:  Well we can all visibly see that.
Mizu:  Nope.  Still isn't funny.
EVE-1:  Where did Mean go?  

       Ranma while still looking away responded, "I guess so, um do have
any idea of how to get out here." Ranma thoughts are, "I don't need 
this.
I'm trap with no visible means of escape. And I'm naked with a boner, I
hope Akane doesn't notice. She'll think I'm some pervert that wants to
take advantage of this situation."
 
Boggs:  Lemme get this straight-
Mizu:  Bad word.
Boggs:  Uh, whatever.  Ranma and Akane spend the rest of this
chapter and a chunk of the next buck naked, complete 
with an erection for him, and this guy claims that he's 
trying to keep things less lemony than what is
normally on Ranma 1/2 or television?
Mizu:  He didn't say he was trying really hard.  Besides
maybe he had the Playboy channel in mind.  

"Well, I'm not going to sit around waiting for someone to free us. I'll
try to break a way out." said Ranma with a slight edge to his voice. He
begins attacking the floor.

Boggs:  Maybe you should ask Mean, how to get out.  Of course
he doesn't talk much, does he?  

 "Do you have any better ideas" stated Ranma as his fist start
moving faster and harder into the ground.

Cog:  Ranma needs to learn the difference between a question
and a statement.  

"Yes marriage does mean commitment to one person and increased
responsibilities. But in terms of not doing things without thinking of
your family first, you should also do think about others in general
before doing something."

EVE-1:  This speech is rather impersonal.  Akane should talk to
Ranma and not at him.  

"Look whose talking, you mallet me when some girl hugs me. When I can't
prevent them from doing that."

Cog:  "Who's"  One syllable is better than two when
simulating Ranma Saotome's speech patterns.  Ie. "stop" instead of
"prevent"

Akane proceeded to hug Ranma from behind. "I could get used to this." he
thought.

Boggs:  Houston, we have contact!

After a moment, Akane let go of him and stood up. "Ranma, can you
please tell me you love me while looking at me." requested Akane.

Boggs:  But I'm naked and I have a boner!
Mizu:  Well _that's_ plainly visible. 

"I'm only angry because you're constantly doing something stupid."

Mizu:  Like talking, or eating, or breathing...

"I'd like that.... But what about the kiss?"
"A k.. kiss? If you want... I guess... we could... well... kiss now.

Mizu morphs into a naked Akane:  But we're naked and you have
a boner!
Boggs stares at Mizu.  Mizu hammers Boggs.  Mizu:  Hentai!

"I thought you said I wasn't sexy?" Akane giggled.
"I was wrong."

Boggs:  It's a good time for Ranma ta tell the truth, he
was lying.  

"I wished she had other friends than just us and Konatsu. She'll need
someone to talk to that doesn't remind her about us. Konatsu will help,
but his feelings for her might cause a problem. It's caused me trouble 
in
the past."

"It has?"

"How am I supposed to talk to Ukyou about certain problems concerning
you, when she wants me to dump you and marry her?"

Mizu:  Personally, I think Ukyou and Akane would make a cute
couple.  Akane should consider the offer.  
EVE-1:  I believe that was Ranma speaking.
Mizu:  Hard to keep track when the last speaker I.D. was
10 paragraphs ago.  

She grabbed Ranma and turns him around and sees in his face that he is
either nervous or scared. "If you aren't nervous, then you're scared.

Mizu:  So she's saying it's visible that he's nervous or scared?
Cog:  The distinction between "nervous" and "scared" is one of
degree, not of kind.  A more salient dichotomy would be between
guilt and fear, two emotions which are not the same, both of
which he has reason to feel.
Mizu:  And don't repeat yourself.  We heard you the first time.

"You promised to her him out the next time. Give him a chance..  He

Mizu:  Unfortunately, she doesn't have any water with which to 
"her" him.

"Now I know why he wants revenge. But why couldn't you have told me?"

Boggs:  He tried.  You kept hitting him to shut him up.  

       Ranma sat down facing away from Akane. Their backs were a 
couple
feet apart.Ranma started talking again after a few moments, "After a 
full
week of cooking, you should be able make something editable."

Cog:  Previous experience suggests that is not the case.  Instead
her frustration builds with each failure, causing the next attempt
to be progressively more demented and ambitious.
Mizu:  Nah.  I'm sure after a week she can easily make something
that should be deleted.  Editable, not edible, after all. 

"I just remembered what we said this morning, that I'll learn to keep 
my
mouth shout when you learn how to cook. And it looks like we're going 
to
attempt just that."

EVE-1:  That's cute.  

"Think Ranma, as I said before we're alone, naked, and have no where to
go. The trigger might be us having sex."

Boggs:  Yes!  It's not real likely, but what else do two naked
people trapped for all of eternity have to do?

"I am serious, besides we're officially engaged now, our parents have
absolutely no objections what so ever to us doing it." 

Mizu:  Kasumi's gonna plotz.

       Cologne handed the gem to Genma, while Soun is cried in an
emotional fit.

Boggs:  Soun usually cries on other people, not t'other way around.

     Some time later Akane awakened and was not very comfortable. She
realized that the floor is very smooth and hard, while part of her is
draped over.... some guy. Her eyes flew open and took a quick survey. 

Mizu:  Mean looks back at her and asks, "Was it good for you too?"
Boggs:  Hold on!  I want a better look at that sex scene.  Let's
go to the slow motion instant replay!
