      Laying down and looking up at the stars was a young man.  What made this
young man so special was the fact that he seems to be the center of all
activities around him.  The person in question was Saotome Ranma.  Looking
back, Ranma felt he had many things going for him and many things going
against him.  He was finally reunited with his family, he was one of the best
martial artist around, he did not have his curse any longer and he had four
fiancees.  The down side was that everyone thought of him as a possession to
be won, the havoc that seems to follow him wherever he went, and now without
his curse, everyone was pressuring him to decide who he was going to marry.
Making up his mind, Ranma leaped off the roof in search of the one female in
all of Nerima who understood him.  He went looking for Ranko.  Thank goodness
the soul of the girl in question was that of the one who drowned 1500 years
ago and not himslef or else he would truly dispair.
