[FFML][MST of MST][Ranma][2 of 2]Chocolate...

<Cont.>

  * * * * *

Kyusaku shook his head with disbelief as he finished
off another batch of chocolates. Nine hundred more to go.
When he had told Nuku Nuku that girls made chocolates and 
gave them to boys on Valentine's day, he never expected her
to make them for every boy in school.

SAMANTHA: What school? Last time I checked, she wasn't in one.


Guardian: Check again.

REI: You are really mad, aren't you? You've been nitpicking
all fanfic.
SAMANTHA: Sorry. Adam just...
WASHU: Give it a rest and relax.

It took him awhile to explain that the 'like' she
felt for Ranma was one that really mattered on 
this special day.  After hearing that, his daughter
bounded out the door as fast she could.

SAMANTHA: I'm guessing that the first part of this 
series was all the girls *meeting* Ramna.


<All>: Halleluyah! She finally figured that out!

<Ring> <Ring>

Kyusaku stopped in midst of eating yet another chocolate pieces

REI: Whoa! That's a big piece!


Bard: (Snicker) Yes, it certainly is.

and picked up the phone.  "Hello?"

"I've sent a baby sitter to the house.  Meet me at eight
at the old place.  Oh, and do bathe and dress nicely."
 Came a cold sounding voice from the other end.

WASHU: <cold voice> Leave one hundred thousand dollars in
unmarked bills on the corner of Fifth and Main by ten
thirty tonight.

<Click>

Kyusaku glared at the phone.

SHAMPOO: <Kyusaku> Stupid phone, god I hate you!

For some reason, he couldn't hold it on his face.
 It kept dropping into a foolish looking grin.

REI: The phone or his face?


Rowan: Knowing Kyusaku probably both.

  * * * * *

Ranma stared at water

WASHU: That should be stared at *the* water.
SAMANTHA: You're not starting that again, are you?
WASHU: NO, I just couldn't come up with a better riff.


*Zot*

<Shot Six>

<Duck and Cover>

as he stood near the bridge's railing.  He had made
sure to choose a different bridge this time so he could
not be found.  Why couldn't he keep his big mouth shut!?  He 
questioned himself for what felt like the hundredth time.

SHAMPOO: After all, he kept count.

The day had been a disaster the moment the first of the
girls started to appear.  The moment he was offered one box of >>chocolates

another offer came right behind.  It didn't take 
long for them to compete who would get him to eat whose

chocolates first.

SAMANTHA: <annoucer's voice> YES IT'S THE ROYAL RUMBLE OF THE ANIME

        GIRLS WHERE THE WINNER TAKES RAMNA!!!

EVERYONE ELSE: <hands over ears> Ow.


<All>: TOO LOUD!!! WHAT? I CAN�T HEAR YOU! I SAID IT�S 
       TOO LOUD!!! NO NEED TO SHOUT!!!

The later events became a blur in his memory.  Somehow
or other, Urd, Morrigan, and Kodachi each managed to
stuff a piece of chocolate in his face.  It had the weird
of affect of making him speak his mind. Literally!
He briefly remembered his exact words to them as being
'LEAVE ME ALONE, ALL OF YOU'.  He cringed as he thought 
at how loud he must have sounded.  The only thing he wanted
to do now was curl up and die.

"I don't think that such a good idea," A feminine voice called out.

REI: God?


<All>: *Buzzer* Wrong, try again!

WASHU: Besides, you'll be spared being brought into allot of crappy

        fanfics... hmmm...

Bard: At least it�s better then being in a crappy MST.

"Huh?"  Ranma broke out of his depression thoughts and looked
at the woman in front of him.  She was tall with long
flowing hair.  Her face, while beautiful, held an ageless
quality making it hard to determine her exact age.

SAMANTHA: Shion? What the heck is she doing here?


<All>: Huh?

She seemed be anywhere from her late teens to her late twenties.
Had she read his mind?

"Standing so close to the railing I mean," she explained to Ranma.

"Oh.  Don't worry, I wasn't about the jump or anything stupid.
I guess I just didn't notice how close I was to the edge,"
Ranma assured her.

REI: Okay, the lady with the pail of water should be around here
       somewhere.


<All>: Huh?

"A lot on your mind?  Sometimes it helps to let out
.your feelings rather than let them fester inside of you.
I'm not going anywhere soon."

SHAMPOO: Next on Jerry Springer show...


Shadow: ....Frustrated MSTers of MSTers take their revenge!

Bard: One can always hope.

Ranma felt himself drawn in by the kind and comforting tone.
He soon related the entire day's events to her.  "...then I
rushed out of there and here I am," Ranma finished and reached
for another piece of chocolate the lady had kindly offered to
share with him.  She didn't seem to eat any herself though.

SAMANTHA: Probably because of the large amount of poison she
had laced them with.
REI: Feeling dark?
SAMANTHA: <sarcastic> Naw!


<All>: Let there be light!

"And here you are.  I'm sure the girls would forgive
you for your outburst.  It was understandable under
the circumstances."

WASHU: After all, most men would just hate it when several

 young and beautiful women beings them chocolates at one time.

*ZOT*
<7>

Shadow: This is Ranma we�re talking about here, his women troubles are
legendary.

"Oh, I know they will.  They're all really nice, despite
how some of them act sometimes.  In truth, it might have
been the best thing I've ever done, walking out like that.
If I had stayed, they would have continued fighting over me,
getting angry at each other..."

SHAMPOO: And then Shampoo would have to fight off even *more*
suitors!


<All>: Gee...ain�t that a shame....

"...and you figured that this way they will all be angry
at you instead.  Ranma, Ranma, Ranma," she sighed as gently
admonished him.

SAMANTHA: Who's Gently?
WASHU: Brother of Kindly.
SHAMPOO: Cousin to Happily.
REI: And father to Cheerfully.


Guardian: You forgot sister Faithfully, and baby Joyfully.

<Ryo-ohki plays another rimshot>

"Do you really think this would make them happier?  The only
reason, the girls came to you in the first place was to be
with you.  Why? Because today is a special day to many girls,
and who better to spend it with then the boy they like.  Sure,
they may fight, but I think they would be more then willing to
put aside their differences if it meant they could enjoy this
holiday with you.  Why don't you give them another chance? 
I'm sure it will turn out better."

WASHU: Just like a brick is soft.


Rowan: Well if it�s an ice-cream brick...

Ranma believed her.  He didn't know why, but he felt as
if could trust this stranger. Stranger?  He rubbed his head
sheepishly.  "Thank you, um, Miss..."

REI: Ayumi?


Bard: Wrong time.

SHAMPOO: Cologne?


Guardian: Wrong age.

SAMANTHA: Ayunami?


Shadow: Wrong series.

WASHU: Masaki?


Rowan: Wrong plane of existence.

"Setsuna.  Call me Setsuna, Ranma."

SAMANTHA: I have no idea who that is.


<All>: SHE�S SAILOR PLUTO!!!

"Miss Set... um, I mean Setsuna.  Thank you for your advice.
Oops, I accidentally ate all of your chocolates.  Sorry, about
that."  She must have been saving them for her boyfriend.
Now he blew it.

SHAMPOO: BIG TIME!


Shadow: Jealous?

Surprisingly, Setsuna seemed to be pleased rather than
angry with him.  "That's okay, Ranma.  They were going
to go to waste whether you ate them or not."  Setsuna then
turned and left.

Ranma didn't believe her.  A wonderful woman like that had
to have a boyfriend.  She was just being kind to him by not
telling him otherwise.

  * * * * *

SAMANTHA: All right, anyone have a new star joke?


Bard: �I count the number of stars in the sky....�

"You must have it bad, Urd.  I can't imagine you in a
kitchen making chocolate."  
Morrigan laughed at that thought.

SHAMPOO: But didn't she say it?
WASHU: Details, details...


Rowan: Nitpicking, Nitpicking.

Urd glared but then schooled her features.  "I suppose 
those chocolates of yours are store bought?" she asked cooly.

REI: <Morrigan voice> Why of course they... D'OH!

"No, I made them from..." Morrigan grimaced.  Urd caught
her with her own words. She must have had it bad, if she
was so besotted with the boy that she couldn't even think
straight.

Ryo-ohki suffered under the ministrations of the various
girls as they each took turns petting her.

SAMANTHA: <Ryo-oh-ki> Ack! Not so hard!


<Everyone turns a little green at that> 

Shadow: Hello pervert girl.

Perhaps, suffered is the right word for how she felt.
Skuld seem to take more than her fair share of the time
though.  Nobody commented on the hammer she held in her arm 
as she looked at Ryo-ohki was a gleam in her eyes.

SHAMPOO: Oh no! Skuld gone nuts!
REI: <Skuld voice> You will be mine. Oh yes, you will be mine.


<All>: Bleck!

Usagi stared at the others like at deer at an oncoming car.
"It's not what you think!  
He's my cousin!  Can't I do something nice for a family member?"

SAMANTHA: Ramna is Usagi's cousin? <groans and holds head>


Rowan: No, she�s Ranma�s cousin.

WASHU: Oh yeah. I had completely forgotten about this part.



*MEGA-ZOT*
<8>

"No!" came the resounding reply from Rei and Minako.
Ami's 'no' was much softer.

Nuku Nuku stood by Shampoo talking about the art of
being a waitress. The two girls had become great friends
in the short time that they knew each other.

SHAMPOO: Cat-girl show me cool flip to do on bike!

Makoto asked Ukyo for tips on making okonomiyaki.  They
too hit it off after they each learned their dreams of
becoming a chef was similar.

REI: Look at it this way, Samantha. At least they're all not
   gather to fight their enemies or something.


Bard: Or something...Ahehehehe....

Kodachi seemed to be in a daze.  Her Ranma-sama thanked
her as he ate the only piece of chocolate of her gift not
lace with paralysis potion.  She decided to take that as
a compliment.

WASHU: A good thing she didn't see him tossing his cookies in the

        corner.

Rowan: She�s not Akane.

Akane smiled as she watched Ranma eat a piece of her
chocolate and didn't complain.  
He actually complimented her.  The only thing that
puzzled her was why he asked her if there was any salt left.

ALL: Huh?


Shadow: Akane used tequila in the mix again.

Chibi-Usa and Hotaru, being viewed as little girls,
didn't receive much attention as they hogged most of Ranma's time.

SAMANTHA: Who *is* that?


<All>: WE JUST TOLD YOU!

It was an odd gathering.


Bard: Ranma, the Gathering. The newest edition of the Magic game.

WASHU: And a massive crossover.


<All>: Amen.

Ranma surrounded by girls smiling and handing him their gifts.
For once, he believed that their smiles weren't entirely
forced.  Setsuna was right.  The only thing on the girls' minds
when he reappeared was if he was okay.  After that, it didn't
take much convincing to tell them to behave or he would leave
again.  All in all, he just felt glad to be alive.

SHAMPOO: Considering he ate Urd's cooking, we're amazed he is.


Bard: Jealous?

  * * * * *

Ayeka and Ryoko picked themselves off the ground and groaned.

SAMANTHA: ARGH! Lemon!


Bard: I wish...

Guardian: She reminds me of Akane.

Their fight had lasted the whole day.  Looking up, they 
groaned again that the scene before them.

REI: Was horribly written.


<All>: Look who�s talking!

"Thank you, Mihoshi, for your chocolates."  Tenchi came
out with Sasami and Washu as they saw Mihoshi off.1

WASHU: One? I don't get it.
SHAMPOO: So they saw detective off number... Story makes less
sense in this part.
REI: No doubt there.

"That's okay!  I like this earth custom.  It was fun."
Mihoshi waved good bye and left.

SAMANTHA: Just like that, just left...

Ayeka and Ryoko plopped back down on the ground.

  * * * * *

The End. (maybe)

SAMANTHA: ARGH!!! <gets up and runs out of the theater>
WASHU: She really needs to learn how to relax.
REI: This whole Adam thing is beginning to get to her.
SHAMPOO: She need good stiff drink.


<All>: We could use one too!

ALL: <get up and leave the theater>

Nabiki stared at the screen, a look of
horror on her face. "Our lives depend on
Ranma proving that we're civilized enough
to join a galactic society. We're doomed."

-The Bet "Illegal Aliens in Nerima"

"Could you please not eat my gun!" -Mihoshi

The girl smiled. "Welllll... Do you remember Yu-chan?"
Ranma thought back to the days when he was a young scrapper. "Yeah, we used to play together, me an' Yu-cha--" Ranma's eyes bugged out with shock. "Oh no! You aren't..."

"SURPRISE!! It's me, Yu-chan!" the girl squealed.
"YU-CHAN!!" Ranma's eyes bugged out. "Didn't I have ANY male childhood friends?!"
