Nope, Genma fell into a pool, and he still changes into a panda. there is a
reason that Ranma is locked as a girl, and I'll start droping hints in
chapter one, and reveal the reason in chapter two.

	This officially complicates things, especially with a certain pair
(possible trio) of homocidal martial artists looking for Ranma's head at
this point. 

Hmm. I guess that means I'm going to write this.

	GOODY!

And no, at the moment I don't see Ranma going lovey dovey with Tenchi. She
is going to make it very clear to Tenchi that she had no interest in him.

	Good.  A permanent (and unwiling) shift in physical gender is one
thing but I _know_ a 'Thy Outward Part' scenario would be implausible at
this stage.
	Also, she had best make that clear to Tenchi's "guests" as well or
his life gets a lot less pleasant.

The real question is which girl is she going to help get Tenchi so she can
get out of this aranged marriage.

	I am forced to concur with the Ryoko faction; Aeka-hime is too
elitist to readily ally herself with such a barbarian, Washu-sensei would
probably be more intrested in _her_, and I fear that chivalry would be the
only thing preventing Ranma from murdering Mihoshi (or trying to ;). 

HTG (If _'Poo_ falls for Tenchi, I'll either laugh or scream)
