Man:	Are you Mrs. Nodaka Saotome?

"No, I'm NoDOka Saotome." :-) (The correct spelling of her name is
Nodoka.)

Akane:	(mallet in hand, chasing Ranma) Ranma, how could you!

	Akane swings the mallet and misses causing a dent in the ground

Ranma:	(running) Hey! Quit that already would you?!

Akane:	Refusing to eat the cookies I made you after I spent all that
	time in the kitchen preparing it?!

Ranma:	(dodging another mallet swing, barely) Its not my fault your
	cooking's lethal!

Akane:	You didn't even TASTE them!

Ranma:	I don't NEED to taste them!

This is one of the most over-used stock scenes in fanfiction -- which is
odd, as Takahashi-sama herself never used a scene like this that I can
think of; Akane's cooking was the subject of only a few storylines. I'd
really advise you to replace this bit with something a bit more
creative.

Nodaka:	I... I'm afraid I can no longer allow Ranma and Akane to wed...

All:	WHAT?!

Soun:	(to Genma) S...S..Saotome what is the meaning of this?!

Genma:	Don't ask me, Tendo!

Nodaka:	The reson being... because they're cousins.

Um... if I recall correctly, cousins *can* legally marry in Japan. At
least that's what they said in the Viz translation of Maison Ikkoku (the
story where Yusaku was in the hospital).

the comments I got from my name translation two-bit with Ukyou and her
name. Last came from a relapse of Mirror, Mirror, trying to figure out
why Rumiko would even suggest a Ryoga-Akane union while saying Ranma and
Akane are the only "true pair."

I haven't seen that anime, but Rumiko Takahashi had nothing to do with
it. It was an original anime episode, not adapted from the manga as many
others were. So it may be that someone working on the anime liked the
idea of Ryoga/Akane.
