  Don't you think it's a better idea to make it so someone can read it in 
their mailer?

Quick Reference Guide:
	Parentheses mean thinking, or visible stuff that is not said.
                 Camera is just what it sounds like a camera.  Try to
imagine what is typed after it
                 actually occurring.

  Most people think script is a lazy way to get their point across. While 
there are times to use it, script doesn't automatically give you the license 
to be lazy about your writing.

Ranma-Chan: I told you pop this is only temporary.  I just have to go to
school like this for
today.

Genma: You break your father's heart son...  (Genma starts his crying.)

  I don't see why he'd do this.

Shampoo: You want to date, Shampoo?!!!  Me so happy!!!  (Glomps on Ranma
again.)

  Even then, Shampoo wouldn't say, 'Me so happy!'

Ranma: No!!  No!!  Not for that.  There's this contest and the prize is a
trip to China.

Shampoo: Oh, you want to come home with Shampoo and marry in tribe?!!! Me 
so
happy!!!
(Glomps again.)

Ranma: Actually I sort of wanted to go to Jusenkyo.

  C'mon, Ranma! If you were smart... never mind....

Shampoo: Hiya, Me forget all about ramen delivery.  Ja ne.  Shampoo be
there.

  'Ja ne' means...?

Ranma: Thanks, bye Shampoo.

(Shampoo rides her bicycle off).

(Ukyou suddenly appears out of nowhere.)

Ukyou: What was that all about Ranma?!!!

  Oh, what timing. Ain't her style to wait.

Ranma: U-Chan!  Just the girl I wanted to see.  Could you please come over
to the Dojo,
tonight.

Ukyou: You want me to pick you up for a date!!!  I'm so happy!!!

  Umm. This is a sudden switch in moods. If she really were angry I don't 
think she'd be this excited already.

Ranma: (Not again.)  Actually I need help with a contest, to go to China.

  Just you wait when Kodachi comes around....

Female Narrator: So Ranma went off to school where he kept his promise to
Nabiki.  As
shown in the intro.

  Plaster it into reader's face why don't ya?

He changed into a girl and used the lie Nabiki had come
up
with.

  I could only see that working on Kuno. And then, he'd be ecstatic about 
the pig-tailed girl walking around school to meet him.
  No Kodachi? Ah, fooey.

Female Narrator: Yes, Frank created me to cut corners and save himself the
time from
typing out a whole bunch of text in parentheses, and to hopefully make this
fic longer.
Also I am a plot device in which to be laughed at.

  Again, as before, it ain't good to be reminded all this time this is a 
fic. I happen to LIKE my suspension of disbelief.
  And the Narrator does exactly what she says she does... except the part 
about being funny.

Ukyou: Why don't you just get a job and go to China with that money?

  That's what you and everybody else is wondering.

Ranma-Chan: Because the fic wouldn't be inter....because it would cost too
much!

Shampoo: Me not know about you spatula girl, but me help Ranma do anything.

  Shampoo has gone back to China at least twice before on her own; why isn't 
Ranma asking about that?

Ukyou: I'll help him do anything, too.  (Looks angrily at Shampoo.)

  Obligatory Ukyo.

Akane: THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR THIS!!!

  Obligatory Akane.

Kasumi: Oh my!

  Obligatory Kasumi.

Ranma-Chan: This is all very interesting, but what does this have to do 
with
anything?

  You're asking the same question I am....

(Shampoo sings about 30 seconds of Red Shoe Sunday.)

  They ain't going to write the damn song?

(Ukyou sings about 40 seconds of Don't Make Me A Shrew (*1.))

  Your choice of songs is quite depressing, considering this is easily 
stacked against Ukyo.

Akane: Will they never learn.

  Taraantulas: "And when will YOU learn? Heh-heh-heh-heh-hah-hah...."

Loud booming voice: Yeah right.  I'm the writer you know.  I have more 
power
than you.

  I'm the reader. I've the power to demolish you, too.

Female Narrator: I'll get you yet Frank!!!  I'll get you yet!

The End

  That entire exchange just needs to go.

Authors Notes:
     Well that's it.  I know I started rambling a little at the end.this 
fic
is going to be
serious but...What am I saying?!!!  It's the Ranma 1/2 Universe.  There is
always comedy
mixed in with the seriousness.

  It's not funny.

If you don't like it...you can suck it!!!

  Big Bloated Author Ego Needs To Go Down To Earth. News at Eleven.

Now read about the
one * in this whole fic.

Stars:
*1.  I know that Ukyou or DoCo didn't sing Don't Make Me A Shrew (CoCo
did.).  But it
       worked for this fic.  If you have a better song email me it's name.

  Oh no. Wouldn't want to hurt your bloated author ego by making such a 
suggestion.

On the Next Episode of DoCo1/2:
	Read: The rules for the contest.
	Read: DoCo come up with a song.
                  Read: The continuing saga of The loud booming voice VS.
The Evil Female
                  Narrator.

  This is a very, very sad fic, if it's going to continue this Author vs. 
Narrator doof. Other than the fact that there's no point to it, it detracts 
from the already-detracted story by trying to be too funny. In fact, the fic 
tries so hard that it isn't funny.
  The outcome of the story is too certain to make a viable fic; there is no 
conflict anywhere in the story, other than the pointless Narrator.
