             I thank you for all your comments, this is the first fanfic I am
writing with intention of completing. Hear are some answer's to your comments.


             1. Location of X-Mansion.
                            I put it near New York City because Akane loves
theatre so much and I plan to make their theatre date a nice sized part of the
fanfic.

             2. Ranma and his ability with English and Math.
                        In several fanfics (Daigkusi no Ranma might have been
one of them)
The author writes that Ranma is really good in Math so I just kept it. I made
Ranma fluent in English because for this venture I didn't want to worry about
who can understand what language.

            3. Psylocke and the Amazons:
                          In another (uncomplete) Ranma/X-Men fic. Psylocke
speaks fluent Chinese and not-so fluent Japanese. If she is an expert martial
artist and she knows
Chinese, she probably knows about the Amazons and Jusenkyo. Though she might
not know about the true nature of Jusenkyo.

           4. Ranma and Mutant abilities:
                       Thank you for this suggestion. I never considered
giving Ranma a mutant ability. I just thought the the X-Men would accept his
curse as being close enough. I need to find a good one though. It can't be
super healing-I attribute that to the ever-handy Dr. Tofu. Super fast learning
ability? No. That comes from his pride.
Hold on, why does Ranma have to be the one with a mutant ability?

                I answered your questions, please answer mine. Should I bring
Spider-Man into this fic? What are good mutant abilities for our guests from
Japan? Where are my socks? Which villains in the marvel universe should I use?
If a train leaves Chicago at 6 AM.. (just kidding about this one.) I want to
finish this fic before I go away to college but this fic looks like it is
going to be a big one. Expect more of the story soon (I am note going to break
it into parts. So the story will always atart from the begining.)
