OK, I was going to wait to post this, but Freemage is right; this
story's generated enough noise already.

Kasumi hummed a happy little tune to herself as she sweeped the back
porch clean. She waved to Ranma, who was standing by the koi pond in
his girl form; he didn't seem to notice, so she went back to her work.

Akane emerged from the house, dressed in a t-shirt and shorts. "Hi,
Kasumi!"

"Good afternoon, Akane! Going for a jog?"

"Yeah." She looked over toward the pond. "Kasumi, who's that with
Ranma?"

"Hm?" Kasumi glanced over a second time. "Oh, that's Bess! Mr. and
Mrs. Yamane's dog! She comes over to play every now and then."

"Oh yeah. She's a nice dog. EWW!"

"What is it, Akane?"

"Ranma just let Bess lick him in the face. That's gross!"

"Oh, don't worry about it, Akane. It's just the dog's way of being
friendly. Have a nice run, now!"

"Thanks!" She began to jog back and forth in place.

Suddenly, the two women turned toward Ranma as an ear-splitting laugh
filled the air. "WAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Ranma? What are you--"

"WAHAHA!!" Ranma was bouncing around the yard, carrying the
confused-looking dog in his arms. "I don't have to marry you anymore,
tomboy! I finally found somebody who really likes me! Someone who
always listens! Man's best friend!! He he he!" He continued laughing
as he leapt out onto the sidewalk.

After a pause, Akane said, "I'll go call Dr. Tofu."

"Um... Akane?"

"Yes, Kasumi?"

"Next time you hit him, aim away from the head, okay?"

You may all proceed to kill me now.... :-)
