The Elevator
By Ryo Hoshi


8 AM

    "Come on, stupid elevator....move it," growled Ranma in frustration.  He
had been sent to almost every single room in the building, and he was now
stuck in this dammed elevator with Ryoga - who was in a similar mood - and
this talkative fat guy spouting obscure anime and manga facts in English, to
boot.
    The fat guy glommed onto Ryoga.  Ryoga let out a scream to rival some of
the ones that Ranma himself had made when the old lecher had done pretty
much the same and tried to pry the guy off.
    After what seemed like half hour, Ryoga managed to pry the guy off.  The
fat guy, with absolutely no hesitation, grabbed Ranma in a death-grip.

10:30 AM

    Both Ranma and Ryoga were impressed.  For a fat guy, this idiot had some
endurance.  He was *still* switching from holding onto Ranma too tightly to
holding Ryoga too tightly.  And he was still spouting off obscure facts.

11 PM

    Ranma looked at Ryoga, giving up trying to pry the fat guy off.  Ryoga
was lying on the floor, eyes glazed, and drooling.
    Apparently, Ryoga was very good with English...

Noon

    Ranma was starting to understand why Ryoga was lying on the floor.  The
fat guy, who's name was Fanboy, had finally started telling his collection
of obscure anime and manga facts in Japanese.

9 PM

    The two idiots who had been trying to free the three people trapped in
the elevator finally pried the doors open.  Inside stood a fat guy, spouting
off obscure facts in Japanese that only a through fan would know.  They
stepped in being careful to not step on the two prone figures lying on the
floor.
    They were not, however, careful not to knock the contraction they used
to pry the door open with out of place.
    The doors of the elevator shut tightly as Fanboy droned on...

    Well, there ends this spamfic.  If you want to know what happens to poor
Ranma and Ryoga, you'll have to write it yourself...
