(We open with Soun & Genma playing Go. Soun look around and sees that the
calendar is on the wrong month. Soun flips the calendar over, and sees that
entire month is marked in blue. Genma shoves the board out of the way and
replaces it with a Monopoly board.)
Soun: Oh, no! No! NONONONO! (Then he looks at the Monopoly board. He gets a
confused look.)
Genma: What? What? (Kasumi appears from the kitchen, smiling and holding out a
whole lot of luggage.) It's it Akane's time of the month?
Soun (crying): Oh, no...it's worse than that!
Kasumi: Why, father, don't you remember it's our bi-annually three-month
vacation?
Soun: No! Not my daughters! Please not now! (crying) My daughters are going to
be away for so long!!! (Genma grabs a hold of Soun's Gi.)
Genma: Soun, get a hold of yourself, man. What is this vacation all about?
Soun: Ever since my wife's death, my daughters goes on an exotic vacation every
two years. Last time, they went into the hospital jungles of the Amazon!
Kasumi: It was so much fun eating a lot of things that tasted like chicken! Why,
it was so thrilling to kill the Peruian border guard becase he had a hamburger!
Genma: Well, where do you plan to go this year?
Kasumi: We plan to go around the world!
Soun: Noooo!!! You can't! Who will take care of me here?
Genma: Tendo-san, get a hold of yourself. Remember, my son is here and he's an
excellent cook. We'll be fine.
(Ranma comes in along with Ryouga carrying a lot of stuff.)
Ranma: Are you sure we're going to need all of this stuff?
Ryouga: Trust me. I've been around this great-big world, and you'll gonna
eventually have to use everything here. Play it cool. (Nabiki appears in a 50's
style dress smoking a joint.)
Nabiki: I wanna go!
Ryouga: Go cool!
Akane (hanging upside down the staircase): I wanna bust!
Ryouga: Bust cool! (Sings) Boy, boy, crazy boy, stay cooool boy...gotta rocket
in your pocket? Keep cooly cool boy! Go man go, but not like a schoolboy....just
play cool, boy (decresendos voice) reaaallll cooolll...(Ryouga, Akane, Kasumi,
Ranma & Nabiki are snaping fingers as the song continues and a dance number
begins. The only thing about this dance number I'll tell you is that Akane
and Ranma would make a nice dance couple. Afterwards, Soun and Genma look at
each other with that I can't believe that look.) 
Soun (to Genma): We'll be fine...hmpf!
Genma: Son, are you going with them?
Ryouga: We are. (He points to Nabiki who's hacking and coughing, droping the
joint on the floor.) Nabiki hired us to carry their luggage and stuff.
Ranma: At a very good salary. Fortunately for you, pops, my contract forbids me
to reveal how much we're making.
Ryouga (smiling): I also get to sleep with Akane every other week!
Genma (screaming at Ranma): Son, how can you do this? She's your fiancee!
Ranma: Eh. (Shrugs.) There's gonna be eight of us and only four sleeping bags. I
mean what the heck. (Genma stratches his head.)
Genma: So...you're not staying home, son? (Kasumi appears, carrying a huge
list of stuff that would rival Santa Claus's naughty or nice list.)
Kasumi: Oh, no. In fact, Auntie Nodoka should be here any moment.
Genma: Any moment?! (Nodoka appears carrying a heap load of suitcases, mostly
filled with kitanas and other sharp objects.)
Nodoka: Hello, anata. Soun-kun. We'll have so much fun together! (Genma faints.)
Soun (crying): We're doomed!!!
Announcer's voice: Will Nodoka force Genma to behave? (Organ chord noise.)
Will Soun die from crying exhaustion? (More organ wailing.) How much is Ryouga 
& Ranma being payed? (Organ noise. Zoom to Akane.) And why in the heck is Akane
in such a good mood today? (Organ shrilled a huge omnious noise.)
Akane (shrugging): Eh, I just won the Irish Sweepstakes. Sue me. (She grins.)
Nabiki (hugging Akane): That's my sister!
Announcer's voice: Tune in next time for "2) Train" Same time,
same strange mailing list next week! (Everything fades to black.)
Kasumi's voice (not sounding nice): What do you mean we have to share quarters
with those freaks from Galaxy Express 999?
********************
As scary as this might sound, I've always wanted to write something like this.
My plans for this fic is to mixed with some other characters from other
series and the "Road Rules" MTV motiff. Bludgon it with a blender...and serve.
Serves 25 and a half. So, what do you all think? Do you like, or would you
rather put me out of my misery?
Let me know. Until next time...
Miyaa!
