(Open to a stage with a Red curtain behind it. The curtain parts to
reveal Ranma and Akane standing in front of their own individual
microphones)

Ranma: Hi! and welcome to Ryo's tribute to St. Patricks Day!

Akane: Yes! St. Patricks day starts tomorrow and since this day is close
to Ryo-san, he has decided to actually do something other than read and
let us present to you, this tribute.

Ranma: As anyone who knows this Holiday is aware of, St. Patricks day is
typically a holiday known for a few things.
a.) Having to wear green or else getting pinched, hit, or beaten to
within an inch of your life, depending on what type of friends you hang
out with.
b.) parades. lots of parades.
c.) leprachauns and 4 leaf clovers.
d.) people getting drunk out of their minds.

Akane: well, since most of these celebrations get tiresome quickly,
Ryo-san has written a huge epic dealing with ranma 1/2, leprachuans, and
all sorts of weird stuff! This work took the greater part of a month to
do so he hopes you all enjoy it!

*Ranma and Akane then walk off the stage briefly and Ranma flicks a
switch to the side. The theator dims and a Silver movie screen moves
down over where the stage is. A movie reel starts rolling but something
gets stuck and the film is destroyed. The lights turn back on and Ranma
and Akane walk back on the stage.*

Ranma: ummm....do we have a replacement Akane?

Akane: *starts sweating* no...we only got that one copy....*A very angry
young man storms onto the stage now*

Ryo: ahhh! my story! its all your fault! *takes out a staff out of
nowhere* die ranma!

Ranma: hey! you invited me to do this!

Ryo: *starts swinging wildly* yes! but I never thought you would destroy
my single greatest work ever!

Akane: stop! it wasn't his fault!

Ryo: *stops abruptly, as does ranma* whaa..whaa...what....did you just
say?

Akane: what? I just said it wasn't Ranma's fault! it was an accident.

Ranma: whoah....your actually admitting its not my fault... are you
feeling all right?

Ryo: Yeah...this is too weird....

Akane: what!? are you saying I overreact! DIE RANMA! *takes out 'the
mallet' and smashes Ranma into the stage floor and stomps away*

Ryo: *sweatdrops* ummm...well, I guess this is over then. thanks for
actually reading this totally unedited contribution to the greatest
holiday of all!

Ranma: *weakly* happy St. patricks.....day....*falls unconscious*


wrote this purely for my own enjoyment.St. Patricks is my b-day by the
way...you'd think I would remember to wear green on this day...*rubs his
arm, remembering the constant pinchings he's suffered in the past* well,
seeya!
