Inside Central Dogma...

Maya:  What are you two talking about?

Makoto:  Did you hear the rumor?

Shigeru:  About a Ranma fanfic...

Maya: What so special about them?  I've seen hundreds...no thousands of them
running through this list...

Makoto:  Yeah, but this one . . . is different.

Shigeru: It has a Ranma that doesn't change to a girl when splashed with
cold water.

Maya: What does he use?  Hot water?

Makoto:  No...he didn't get cursed at all.  He's actually...normal.

Maya:  Eh?  So what's the catch?  He and Akane finally get married or
something?

Shigeru:  They're not engaged in this one.

Maya: Really?  Who is his fiancee then?  Ukyou?

Makoto:  She's his sister...adopted I think.

Maya:  Shampoo?

Shigeru:  Nope...she's just living with the Saotomes, I think.

Maya: Who...[turns pale]  no.. not...no can't be her...

Makoto:  Kodachi is actually sane in this fic...and so is Tatchi.

Shigeru:  Unbelievable, don't you think?

Makoto:  I don't know...I kinda like Tatewaki in this one.

Maya: Eh?  Tatewaki...sane?

Makoto: Not to mention...Mrs. Saotome never died in this fic...

Maya:  Whoa!

Misato:  Ehem.  Ladies and Gentlemen...why don't you go back to your post.

Maya: Katsuragi-san did you hear?

Misato:  What?

Makoto: The latest episode of 'In My Life'..was supposed to be here already.

Misato:  Oh?  So that was what Ritsuko was reading...[turns around]

Shigeru:  Where are you going?

Misato: I forgot to read my copy.  I was supposed to pre-read it since
yesterday...

Maya: Lucky!
