 "Ranma, you know why your father brought you to Nerima, right?"

 "Yeah." *Don't remind me,* he said to himself.

 Kasumi smiled. "Well, it's that time!"

 "It's...." Ranma's jaw dropped. "*Today?* NOW?!"

Heh.  This is hilarious.

"You'd rather do it with your girlfriends? Akane, you... you
PERVERT!"

Ohmigod.  What a classic Takahashi misunderstanding.  Oh, is this
funny.

	"Such truculence. Such vitality of spirit." Kuno moved to block
Akane's path into the school. "Truly, my heart is but your captive,
Akane Tendo. Oh, how I wish to date with you!"

	Abruptly, both Akane and Kuno vanished. The rose fluttered to
the ground, quickly becoming soaked with rain water.

	*Oops,* Ranma thought.

Oooohhh!  Nasty!

He was supposed to go to room 1-F, but he had no
idea where that was, and if he showed up while he was still
invisible, the teacher would mark him absent anyway.

This is really interesting.  I can't remember if I've ever read an
alterverse retelling-of-the-first-few-episodes where the events
don't differ a _little_, they're wildly different.

	"Listen, boy." Pop gazed grimly into his eyes. "If you value
your life, do *not* tell the person in the kitchen who you really are!"

Nodoka already?  Well, might as well not waste any time assembling
your cast.

Maybe it's just me, but it seemed that the humor in the second half
of the story didn't match what you did in the first half.  Of course,
the first half is one of the funniest pieces I've ever read.

Great read!  Keep it coming!
