"Rain, rain, rain! Why does it always have to rain all the time 
here?!" Ami gritted through her teeth, holding a book above her head, 
but clutching the rest of her books to her chest. "I can't get these 
books ruined, or I'll be in big trouble!"

While she wanted to avoid getting into trouble, she wasn't prepared 
for a different kind of trouble that came in a form of a running girl 
with red hair. She barely had enough time to react before the girl 
literally slammed into her, knocking them both into a small puddle and 
drenching them both.

As upset as she already was, this only made her even angrier, 
especially when she noticed that the girl's hand was clutching at her 
left breast, and the girl was too dazed to notice it. No, it was NOT a 
good day for her. Forcing herself to remain calm, she gritted through 
her teeth, "Excuse me, but will you PLEASE kindly remove your hand 
from my breast?"

"Wak!" The red-haired girl quickly scrambled off Ami and began 
apologizing profusely. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that! You 
see--"

A loud growling noise interrupted the young girl's apology, causing 
her to grimace. "Not again! When will he ever give up?!" Both girls 
turned to face an enormous mammal lumbering towards them. Even 
normally composed Ami was surprised. 

"A giant panda?" Ami pointed at the animal who seemed to be gesturing 
at the red-haired girl. She turned to her guest. "Um, what he is 
doing?"

"Nothin'. He just wants to me marry some girl." Before Ami could react 
to her answer, she turned to her once more again, "I'm REALLY sorry 
about this, but I can't stay and chat- I gotta go, bye!" With that, 
she ran off in the opposite direction of the angry panda.

Ami continued to blink in surprise as the panda gave chase, knocking 
few people and signs out of its way. Deciding that stranger things had 
happened before and that it was none of her business, she returned her 
attention to her books.

"Damn it! My library books are wet!!"

G3 Fanfic Studio Productions presents,
A piece of fanfiction by Dark Alpha,

A fanfiction based on premise of Ranma 1/2
Using characters of Ranma 1/2 and Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon,

Watering of the Horse

	Act One- Here's Ranma and ...

---------------------------------------


"A what?" Ami looked up at Nabiki as she tried to remove her now-soggy 
shoes.

"Your father's calling for a family meeting. Don't bother taking a 
bath- I don't think he's going to wait for you to do that." Another 
shout echoed from inside the house and Nabiki added, "And I don't 
think he cares about your wet condition. Just change into something 
dry and hurry."

Ami nodded, still thoroughly confused by the sudden turn of events and 
quickly changed into new clothing and ten minutes later three sisters 
soon found themselves sitting in the living room, awaiting for their 
father's response. Soun was weeping happily, which struck the 
daughters as odd because he rarely was this happy, and wondered what 
was going to happen. It didn't take long for their father to declare 
the purpose of the family meeting. "My daughters, I have called you 
here because I have something important to tell you. It concerns the 
future of the Tendo family and Anything-Goes arts.

"An old friend of mine and I made an agreement, long ago, that one of 
you would be engaged to his son." Soun cleared his throat as the 
daughters blinked in surprise, "My friend has a son by the name of 
Ranma Saotome, and if one of you were to marry him and carry on 
Anything-Goes Arts, Tendo family legacy would be secure..."

There was a silence before Ami spoke first, leaning over the table 
with her hands, "Finacee? Wait a minute! I thought arranged marriages 
were no longer enforced in Japan?"

"Er, that's true, but that doesn't mean we can't have one. Please, my 
daughters, marry Ranma!" Soun groveled.

"Oh my, how can we do that? I mean, we haven't even met Ranma yet!" 
Kasumi furrowed her eyebrows in disappointment.

Soun chuckled, "That's easily fixed." There was a slight thunder 
outside as it slowed to a slight drizzle, and Soun pulled out a piece 
of paper from his pocket in his gi. "I received a postcard from my 
friend, and they're coming today." 

Ami reached out her hand. "Let me see that." Nabiki and Kasumi peered 
over her shoulders as she tried to read the sloppy handwriting on the 
postcard.

Hi.
Bringing Ranma from China.
Saotome.

"That's it?" Nabiki raised her eyebrow. "According to this stamp, this 
postcard came from China."

"That's right." Soun nodded knowingly. "Saotomes train in same art as 
ours, and their training voyage has recently crossed into China."

"Oooh, China!" Nabiki enthused, while Ami raised her eyebrow.

"Hold on, Daddy." Ami raised her hand, " Are you're telling me that 
Ranma Saotome is a martial artist?" She groaned inwardly when her 
father nodded excitedly.

"Is he cute?" Nabiki pressed on. A frown reappeared on Kasumi's face, 
"How old is he?" She didn't like younger boys because they bored her. 
Then simultaneously, they asked, "Who is this guy, Ranma anyway?"

Soun chuckled before regaining his calm. "No idea."

Ami put down the postcard down, shocked. "What do you mean, 'No 
idea'?"

"I've never met him."

Just then there was a loud disturbance outside and a rather angry 
voice, "Hey, leggo' me, you fool!"

Soun immediately bolted to his feet, "That must be them!" Nabiki 
jumped to her feet excitedly and followed her father outside, while 
other girls trailed behind. Kasumi hoped that this Ranma would be 
older than her, while Ami sighed heavily. Another martial artist! She 
hoped that her day wouldn't get any worse than this.

Two sisters were soon startled by an unexpected sight of a large panda 
chasing Nabiki and Soun. "What's going on?" Ami stepped aside to let 
the fleeing people aside and faced the creature. "Hold on! What do you 
want?" Behind her, she heard Nabiki accusing her daddy about having 
panda being his friend. 

A quick swishing of head later, Nabiki retorted with heavy sarcasm, 
"Oh, this is just *great*! A panda just decided to stop by and pay us 
a visit!"

Ami turned her attention to panda, then blinked in surprise as a girl 
began twisting around on the mammal's shoulder, "Hey, stop that! 
You're scarin' them!"

"Um, who are you, and is this panda your... pet?"

The creature huffed indignantly at Ami's question and placed the girl 
off its shoulders and on the ground, growling irritably. The girl 
quickly whacked herbivore's head and turned to Ami, "I'm sorry about 
this trouble, but..." She trailed off when she recognized Ami. "Hey, 
I've met you before!"

Likewise, Ami recognized her from no more than an hour earlier. "You 
made me drop my books, and they're now ruined! Because of you, I'll 
have to pay for--"

Soun quickly cleared his throat and stepped past Ami to ask the 
visitor a question. "Who are you?" Ami shook her head at her father's 
bluntness.
 
"Ranma. Ranma Saotome." The girl winced and shrank slightly as four 
pairs of eye bored down at her.

"R-Ranma?" Soun quickly embraced the visitor in his hug, weeping, "Oh, 
I'm so happy that--!" He cut himself off and pushed back Ranma, gazing 
at the chest region. Nabiki frowned at her father, then followed his 
gaze. She reached out and poked one of the breasts.

Ami frowned, "You didn't notice that our 'Ranma' was a girl, didn't 
you?" The response she received was Soun fainting. "Oh great."


* * * * *


"Thanks, Kasumi!" Ami accepted the cup of tea and began to sip from 
it. She turned to regard her father, who was presently on the floor, 
and staring at the roof blankly, weeping like a sick person covered in 
blankets. Well, he was a sick person in a way, she thought.

Speaking of someone, she turned to regard the Ranma disapprovingly. 
When they first met earlier this evening, things happened too fast for 
her to size up her visitor. Bu now, she regarded the girl carefully, 
who was about the same height and age as her, except that she was 
well-built and had a beautiful figure. More so than hers, she noted 
unhappily. Her visitor was wearing a red blouse and black drawstring 
pants, indicating a poor taste in clothing style. She also had her 
hair tied back into a braided pigtail, but what struck her as unusual 
was her hair color. It was bright red.

She had seen red hair before, but not this bright. Hereditary genes, 
probably. At least, that's what she assumed that was how she had 
inherited blue hair color. Hair colors like this girl and hers were 
rare in Japan, and this interested her tremendously. She was about 
inquire her visitor when Kasumi made her opinion obvious.

"Poor Daddy," Kasumi handed a cup to Nabiki. "How disappointed he is!"

"He's disappointed!" Nabiki spat out, "Some finacee *this* is!"

"Nabiki! He... she is our guest! We shouldn't be so rude!" Ami's anger 
softened as she saw Ranma flinch at Nabiki's words.

Beside the girl, the panda growled. Ami eyed the animal warily before 
leaning towards Ranma, "Um, excuse me? Is your uhh, pet housebroken?"

Ranma blinked for a moment then laughed as the panda growled again, 
"Oh, don't worry about him."

"This is all your fault, Daddy! You should've made sure!"

Soun wept again, "He said that he had a son!"

"Do you see a son here, hmm? Do you see one?!" Emphasizing her point, 
she began squeezing Ranma's breasts.

"Um, will you please stop that?" The red-haired girl asked meekly, but 
Nabiki ignored her and continued squeezing until Ami slapped the hand 
away.

"That's enough, Nabiki! How many times do I have to tell you to be 
nice around guests!" Turning to Ranma, she apologized, "I'm sorry 
about my sister, but she sometimes excited when we have visitors."

She didn't receive a reply for a moment as the girl pouted sadly, so 
she pressed on. "Um, why don't we get out of here. I'm Ami, by the 
way. You want to be friends? This afternoon was just one big mistake, 
wasn't it?" She smiled sweetly, hoping to lift the girl's spirits.

"Um... sure." Ranma lifted her head meekly, then nodded. She got up 
and followed Ami out of the room, ignoring the commotion. When they 
walked out, Ranma apologized again. "I'm sorry about that meetin' 
earlier. I was trying to get away from my pops, er pet!" She laughed 
unconvingly. She stepped outside and began jumping excitedly when she 
spotted a building. "You actually got a dojo here? It's been long time 
since I last practiced in one!"

"Yeah, why don't I show you the place?" Ranma nodded and Ami led the 
girl into the building and studied her reaction as she gazed around 
the place.

"Wow! That's quite some dojo you have here!" Ranma turned to Ami, "You 
know some kempo, right? Whaada ya say we have a match?"

"Um, no thanks. Let's just say that I don't like practicing kempo 
anymore than I have to. I'd rather study instead."

"Studying?" Ranma's face twisted in disgust, "You don't like martial 
arts?"

Ami shook her head. Ranma inclined her head, almost as if about to ask 
a question, then shrugged. "Well, I love martial arts. Heck, I've been 
trainin' for ten years, since I was six." With that, Ranma moved into 
her stance and began practicing her katas.

"Since six?" Ami replied incredulously, but she couldn't take her eyes 
off this girl as she went though her moves gracefully like a dancer. 
"You're pretty good. I've never seen anybody do that good."

"Thanks. How about you? You any good?"

"Well, like I said, I don�t like to do kempo. I'd rather read books 
than do kempo anytime, but my daddy didn't give me any choice. He 
wanted me to take this training seriously and he can be pretty 
stubborn sometimes, so I decided to learn some martial arts, just to 
make him happy. He says that I'm pretty good, but it's been some time 
since I last practiced."

"I might help train you in martial arts if you want..." Ranma offered.

Ami waved Ranma off, "Thank you for your offer, but I think I'll turn 
it down..." She paused for a moment, "Then again, how good did you say 
you were?"

"Pretty good."

Ami considered for a moment, then smiled. "I'll think about it. 
There's no guarantee that I'll go along with it, but I'll think about 
it." She quickly excused herself off, "I've got to go and study for my 
class tomorrow. I'll see you later."

Ami didn't see Ranma scowling before she resumed her practice. "Why 
did I offer to train her? She's a girl! But... she sure looks cute 
when she smiles. Weird, her hair color's blue. Oh, well, she looks 
cuter that way. It's nice to have a friend like her..." She snapped to 
herself and continued practicing, mainly to distract herself from her 
thoughts of a certain blue-haired girl.


* * * * *


As the sun set, its rays of light bathed across two old men sitting in 
the living room, illuminating them so Nabiki could observe her guests. 
Turning to Kasumi who was carrying a bundle of blankets, "Who's the 
guy with our dad?"

Kasumi stopped for a moment and looked at the old men, then shrugged. 
"I don't know. Where's Ranma?"

"In the dojo. She's been practicing for hours now."

Kasumi nodded and went to the dojo just in time for Ranma to put her 
finishing moves to her katas. "Excuse me, but are you done practicing? 
You must be sweaty after your hard work! You should go and take a bath 
before you leave."

"No!" Ranma yelped, then calmed down, "I mean, I don't need one."

"You really need one. Follow me and I'll get it ready for you." Kasumi 
smiled and Ranma's shoulders sagged. Acknowledging defeat, she nodded 
and followed Kasumi. Less than fifteen minutes later, she found 
herself naked in bathroom, trying to cover herself up as Kasumi gently 
pushed her into the bathroom. "Don't worry, it's okay. Go and wash 
yourself off."

Sighing again in defeat, she began shedding her clothes, wondering 
about what she should do.
 

* * * * *


"Ami! Bath's ready!" Nabiki popped her head into Ami's room. "Ranma's 
already taking it, so you'd better hurry up!"

"Thanks, sis!" Ami beamed as she slammed her English book shut and 
hopped off her bed in excitement. She loved taking baths because they 
always made her feel relaxed, not to mention cleaner. It would be even 
better this time because she would have a friend to talk with while 
soaking in the furo.

She quickly trotted towards the bathroom, frowned for a moment and put 
up an 'occupied' sign on the door before stepping inside. Shedding her 
clothes, she picked up her essential bath stuff and prepared to step 
inside the bathroom and talk with her newest friend.

Meanwhile, boy waded around in the furo, trying to decide on how to 
solve his problem. "What to do? Ah, might as well go out like this..."

Ranma sighed, having made the decision- they would have found out 
about the secret sooner or later anyway. He stepped out of the hot 
furo, revealing a very naked male body, just as the door to the 
bathroom opened and Ami stepped inside. 

Both of them froze, and stared at each other's bodies. Except for a 
towel covering her hips, Ami was completely naked, exposing her body 
to the boy. But she could see everything the guy in the furo had to 
offer and instinctively lowered her gaze to guy's lower region. Few 
moments later, Ami realized what she was staring at and blushed 
furiously. "E-excuse m-me..." Ami croaked and snuck out of the room 
meekly and still blushing.

Having shut the door shut, Ami turned around and tried to calm her 
fast-beating heart, "Oh my, I-I didn't see that, didn't I?" She 
slapped herself to snap her out of her embarrassment, "Get a hold of 
yourself!" But she could still feel warmth on her face. Too 
embarrassed to stay any longer, she quickly dressed up and left 
quietly, but not before she bumped into Nabiki in the hallway.

"Hey, hold on, sis. What's the matter?"

"Nothing." Ami evaded, avoiding her sister's questioning look.

"I don't believe you." Nabiki frowned, "Why are you blushing like 
that?"

"Err..."

Just then, a boy stepped out of the bathroom, looking very 
embarrassed. Nabiki spotted him and cried out, "Hey, wait! Who are you 
and why were you in the furoo..." Her eyes widened as something 
clicked and she glanced back to Ami, who was trying her best to hide 
behind Nabiki's body and still blushing furiously. She glared at the 
boy, "Don't tell me that you--"

"I'm Ranma Saotome." The boy replied sheepishly, rubbing his neck. 
"I'm *really* sorry about this."

Two girls blinked in shock at the unexpected statement.     

They were immediately floored by a rampaging panda who quickly grabbed 
the boy and entered the washing room.


* * * * *


By night, the Tendo family had calmed down considerably enough allow 
two strangers to explain their unexpected appearance. Both of them 
introduced themselves as Genma, the man who had displayed his writing 
skills so sloppily on the postcard they had received that morning, and 
Ranma Saotome, whom the girls doubted his sexual nature.

"So you're telling me that you," Nabiki pointed at Ranma, "are that 
girl we met earlier, and your father's the panda that gave me this?" 
Nabiki gestured to her bump on her head, holding a pack of ice to it.

"Er, more or less." Genma gave a nervous chuckle as Nabiki glared at 
him.

Nabiki wasn't fazed. "Okay, got any other interesting stories to tell 
us?" She replied with scarscam evident in her voice. "I'm HOPING you 
could enlighten us somewhat..."

Ranma smiled nervously. "I didn't want this, but my idiot father took 
me with him to this cursed training grounds where- HEY!"

Genma took advantage of Ranma's ignorance and picked him by his shirt, 
then heaved him bodily into a nearby koi pond. He quickly turned 
around and gestured to the pond behind her, speaking to Tendos with 
exaggerated disappointment and tears. "I present you..."

A red-haired and buxom girl shout out of the water and landed on the 
grass, obviously angry. "Hey, why'd you do that for?!"

Each of Tendos reacted differently. Soun shook his head in sadness, 
having heard the tale spoken to him earlier from Genma, and Kasumi 
gasped with a "Oh my." Nabiki simply boggled at the scene, and 
wondered if gods were playing tricks on her. Ami, on the other hand, 
had a different reaction. She immediately became fascinated by the 
unexpected change, trying to evaluate how sex-change could be 
scientifically explained. Subconsciously, she inched closer for a 
better look.

Genma complained, "Oh, how woe is me! I'm so disappointed in my son! 
My son changes into a girl--" He never got his chance to complete his 
compliant as Ranma blurred into front of him and kicked him hard 
enough to send him sailing into the same pond his father had dumped 
him into.

If the girls had been previously startled, they were absolutely 
shocked by the sight of immense panda swelling out of the pond, with 
several fish flopping off the creature's thick hide.

"And YOU turn into a panda." Ranma replied boredly, as if he had 
witnessed the event before.

"How? I mean, that's impossible!" Ami finally managed, gaping at the 
_size_ of the creature. If she wasn't mistaken, Genma must've gained 
an extra 200 pounds of body weight, but that was scientifically 
impossible.

"Jusenkyo curse."

Before anyone could interrupt, Ranma left the room leaving the family 
to face the panda. Finally, Kasumi couldn't hold back her concerns any 
longer and faced her father. "Daddy, why are you friends with them?"

Soun shook his as he heard a splash in the bathroom. "They weren't 
that way." The panda quickly followed the path Ranma had taken, and a 
moment later there was a second splashing noise, followed by an angry 
exclamation. Soun continued, "At least, not until they undertook that 
training trip in China."

Genma, who had sensed his chance for story-telling session, quickly 
reappeared in his human form, albeit still soaking, and sat facing the 
family. He began intoning his story, ignoring his son as he entered 
the room as well.

Ranma scowled at his father and sat an considerable distance from him, 
not noticing his close proximity to Ami.


* * * * *


Ranma regarded the valley of pools, each with several bamboo poles 
sticking out of them. He turned to Genma. "This place ain't so 
impressive, pops."

"Don't worry, son- this the place I've always wanted to train in!" 
Genma dumped the rest of his backpack on the ground and leapt into the 
air to land on top of one of the bamboo poles. "Follow me!"

Ranma shrugged and followed his father's example, ignoring the frantic 
shouting of a stumpy man who went by 'Jusenkyo Guide.' He seemed to be 
shouting something about a danger, but he dismissed the threat as he 
landed on a pole. "Your shot."

Genma complied with a battle cry and they were soon engaged in a 
fierce mid-air duel, neither of them achieving the upper hand as they 
bounced across several poles.  However, Genma made a slight mistake 
and left himself wide open for Ranma's kick, and went flying towards a 
seemingly-innocent pond. A loud splash accompanied his landing, and 
Ranma landed on a pole, grinning in victory.

Jusenkyo Guide wasn't so thrilled. "That is the "spring of drowned 
panda"! A tragic lend, very tragic, of panda who drown there two-
thousand year ago!"

Ranma's grin vanished as the pool began to bubble. "Hey, pops? You 
still there?"

The guide continued, "Now, whoever fall in that spring... take body of 
panda!"

The pond erupted in a splash as an enormous panda launched itself 
towards Ranma. Caught by surprise, he didn't protect himself from a 
rather vicious panda swipe which sent him flying towards... another 
pool.

The Guide shrieked as another splash echoed. "Not the Nanniichuan!"

Ranma emerged, spitting water out of his mouth and barely caught the 
last of Guide's words, '...take on body of young girl!"

Girl? He blink as he felt unfamiliar sensations and swallowed in fear, 
and gave himself a quick feel. There were two mounds where there 
wasn't supposed to be...

After flashing himself of his newly-acquired female breasts, Ranma 
screamed in terror.


* * * * *


"...so that's what happened." Genma placed down his cup.

Soun stared at his friend in shock. "Jusenkyo, the accursed training 
grounds. I always thought it was only a legend, but... what a true 
horror!!"

"A 'true horror...'" Ranma jerked his head up in realization and 
growled at his father. "Hey, old man- why'd you take me to a place 
like that anyway?"

Genma quickly grabbed his son in return and hurled him into the pond 
for the second time. He watched his son-turned-daughter emerge from 
the water disapprovingly. "You sound like a woman! You were prepared 
to give life for sake of training, weren't you?"

"My life, yes..." Ranma-onna clenched her fists, then stormed out of 
the pond and drenched her father with a nearby pail of water. "But not 
my *manhood!*" 

Both of them soon were involved in a fierce hands-on wrestling bout, 
which lasted for few minutes as Soun moaned at how horrible it was. 
Before the fight escalated, Ami cut in between the squabblers angrily. 
"Stop that fighting!" She quickly turned to Genma, angry. "Why did you 
do it? If you knew about how dangerous Jusenkyo was, why did you two 
train there?"

Genma tried to give her an innocent look, but she didn't buy it. 
Kasumi frowned and shouted at the panda, "How could you do a such 
dangerous thing?!" Nabiki chirped in her agreement.

The creature blinked and grunted unconcernedly, then suddenly 
sweatdropped when a brochure slipped out of his fur and on the ground. 
Nabiki noticed it immediately and opened it, only to find out that it 
was in Chinese. "Well, that explains it, Genma couldn't read Chinese." 
Genma nodded vigorously in agreement. Ranma-onna hit his father's head 
hard and glared at him for a moment.

"At least the pond I kicked him into was actually the spring of 
drowned _female_ panda!" Ranma collapsed into a fit of laughter as the 
female panda growled angrily. "Makes us even!"

Before Genma was angered further, a boiling water was suddenly dumped 
on him by a grinning Soun. "So hot water returns you to back to 
human!" He replied cheerfully as he turned his steaming kettle to 
Ranma. "And it turns you back into boy!"

Ranma-onna quickly avoided the hot water and screamed, "*Hot* water, 
not boiling water!"

Soun tossed aside the kettle and grinned, slapping Ranma-onna's back, 
"Well, that solves your problem!" He quickly pushed Ranma forward to 
meet his daughters, "Meet my daughters, Kasumi, nineteen. Nabiki, 
seventeen. And Ami, sixteen."

The girls barely had a chance to reply when Soun turned to Ranma, 
still grinning, "Pick one of them and she will be your finace."

"WHAT!"

"Oh, he wants Ami!" Kasumi proposed, and Nabiki chirped in her 
agreement as well. "Defiently! They get along well!"

"Hey! What are you doing?! I don't want to be engaged to him!" Ami 
protested, blushing faintly, "I mean, we're still too young..."

"Oh, nonsense! You're old enough to have a boyfriend!" Nabiki chided. 
"Besides, I know you're into weird things. I saw you looking at him!"

Kasumi gently took hold of Ami's shoulders, "Well, you're in luck! 
Ranma's half-girl! It's not everyday that a boy can change his sex 
organs."

"H-hey, quit talking about like I'm a sort of experimental animal!"

"Me marry that hentai? NEVER!" Ami rebuked, and Ranma immediately 
bolted to her feet to face Ami's accusations.

"You're calling me a hentai?!"

Ami retorted, "You were leering at me in the bathroom, weren't you?!"

"Hold on! YOU were the one who stepped in on me!" Nabiki raised one of 
her eyebrows at this remark.

"Um, t-that's right..." Ami blushed slightly, but quickly recovered 
her cool. "But that doesn't matter- you still saw me naked! "

Soun and Genma burst into laughter as they watched the quarrel, "Now, 
that's a lover's quarrel!" Genma remarked.

"They're already a perfect couple!" Soun laughed, and Ami began to 
blush, unable to think of any way for her to back out of the 
engagement that her own father had enforced upon her.

"Forget it! I ain't marryin' her!" Ranma spun around and was about to 
stroll out of the room when her father interrupted her.

"Where do you think you're going, boy?"

"China, of course. This is no time for finacees, and do I look like a 
'boy' to you, old man?"

Genma was flustered for a moment, but Ranma choose to ignore him. 
After all, why would she have to listen to her father who had 
personally made her life a living hell? She was about to resume 
walking when a thought popped inside her mind. She paused, turning to 
Ami. "You know, you shouldn't let what happened between us get at you. 
Your body's not that bad." Ami caught an unique expression on her 
face, almost as if she was... amused?

"Still, YOU got a petty good look at me." At this remark, Ami blushed. 
Ranma didn't notice and shook her head, almost mournfully. "Ah, it's 
no big deal. I mean, I've seen myself many times before, right? It's 
nothing new." Ranma pulled away one of her shirt labels, exposing a 
slight cleavage. "And I'm *built* better, to boot!" 

Ranma laughed, mindless of Ami's increasing temper. Mindless of the 
impending danger, she continued, "And there's no way I'm gonna marry 
some brainless tomboy--"

If there was one thing Ami hated being insulted about more than her 
femininity, it was her intelligence. So she simply picked up a large 
flower vase and smashed upon the unsuspecting girl's head, yet taking 
care that she used just enough force to knock the girl into 
unconscious. Despite her strength and agility, she didn't want to be 
branded as a murderer.

Ranma blinked as she felt something hit her head, flowers and water 
splashing over her head, cutting her talk short. She turned around to 
face the surprised Ami, feeling incredibly annoyed. "What was that? I 
barely felt anythin'! "

"H-how?" Ami could only stutter in surprise. Here, she had calculated 
for the exact amount of force to be applied, compensating for the 
weight and hardness of the flower vase. On any normal person, they 
would have been knocked unconscious already. A voice inside her brain 
reminded her that this Ranma might be as 'normal' as she had thought, 
her curse non-withstanding.

"Man, that's an insult! If you wanna knock me out, you'll have to do 
better than that, you brainless tomboy!" Ranma lamented, shaking her 
head. "If you're so uncute, it makes me wonder how dumb you are!"

She never saw an uppercut coming.


* * * * *


When Ranma opened her eyes an hour later, she saw a room and two girls 
spinning around. "What're you guys doin' up there?"

A sweet voice soothed her frayed brain. "It's a bit of concussion. 
It'll pass in a minute." Sure enough, it did. Ranma blinked at Kasumi 
in surprise.

"Don't worry about Ami. She's really sweet girl. She's just slightly 
obsessive-complusive in her nature." Kasumi explained.

Nabiki sighed, "Oh, good. That makes a lot of sense."

Ranma shook her head. "I don't care- I gotta go back and find a cure."

"Fine, but you'll need a bath. Or do you want to go back there as a 
girl?" Nabiki grinned mischevilously.

"Er... right."

Ranma quickly got up and left the room with hot furo in her mind, not 
noticing Nabiki's sudden change in her demeanor. In fact, Nabiki was 
grinning madly. She knew exactly who was taking bath at this moment. 
"Sorry about this, sis, but it's for your own good. There's more to 
life than studying!" Ranma may be just exactly what Ami needed to 
spice up her life a bit.

She sighed as she relaxed in the furo. She shouldn't have let her 
temper get out of control like she had against Ranma. Ami knew better 
than that, yet she couldn't understand how easily he had managed to 
make her lose her cool so quickly. For some reason, the aquatransexual 
(which had been the term she had coined to describe Ranma and his 
unique curse that seemed to defy logical explanation) had been 
creating some unusual sensations inside her; certainly, she never had 
been this excited before. It was an one-time opportunity for her to 
give her shot in analyzing Ranma and his father's curse personally. It 
was something about Ranma's arrogant pride that made her feel unease.

Still, she knew it had been no excuse for her to hit someone like him. 
As she stepped out of the furo, she vowed to apologize to Ranma. She 
really didn't want to screw things up between both of them, the 
engagement matter notwithstanding. She mentally made a note to try and 
convince her father to end this engagement nonsense.

After drying herself off, she stepped up to the bathdoor and slid it 
open, only to face a very surprised female Ranma.

"R-Ranma!" Startled, Ami stepped back and reflexively raised her arm 
to cover her exposed breasts. For a moment they stared at each other 
as Ranma made no attempt at her modesty. Then fire burned in her eyes. 
That was strike three, and no holding back this time. She had been 
kind enough to let first two 'incidents' pass by her harmlessly, but 
she had enough.

Ranma stepped back in surprise, "Uh-oh!"

"W-why!" Ami spluttered and raised her arm. Ranma was rewarded with a 
loud slap across her face, knocking her to the ground. She quickly 
stepped past the dazed girl and grabbed a towel to cover herself up. 
"I can't believe you! Coming in here as  girl for a cheap thrills!"

Just before she left the room, she scolded at Ranma, "And I'm ashamed 
at your lack of feminine modesty!"

Strolling down the alley angrily, she bumped into Nabiki, who seemed 
to be grinning. "Hey, I heard what happened in there."

"Um, well it's like this--"

"Tell me, Ami- you mooned Ranma, didn't you?" Nabiki replied bluntly.

"N-no, I d-didn't!" Ami shook her head rapidly as reddish tinge glowed 
on her cheeks.

"Way to go, sis!" Nabiki nudged Ami, "You've been engaged for barely 
an hour and already you're making moves on him. I didn't know you had 
it in you."

"Nabiki!"

Inside while soaking in the furo, Ranma grumbled about how cute girls 
weren't supposed to hit people. And caressed his bruised cheek.

Notebook:

I know that no doubt the title sounds EXTREMELY corny, but I really 
couldn't come up with a suitable one. Perhaps one will come up with 
one, ne?
Oh, BTW- C&C greatly appreciated, public or private.

No doubt many of you're wondering where this came from. Well, Akane 
and Ami happens to be my favorite characters from their respective 
series (Ranma 1/2 and Sailor Moon), and I was bit surprised that among 
some Akane fans, Ami had been their favorite as well. Also, I also 
found out that there was several hentai Akane/Ami images out there in 
the net, and they might have had some influence.

Taking this into account, an idea popped into my mind. What if I 
replaced Akane with Ami of Sailor Moon, and how would she react to 
having Ranma as her finacee? In this fusion, Ami is NOT Sailor 
Mercury, and will never be. This is Ranma 1/2, and Senshi do not 
exist.

But Ami does know some martial arts. Hmm...
