            Blossoms to Crystal

    It was a sad day for the Saotomes their son was born
dead. They had been both crying for the most part of the
day. The doctors had said there was no chance for the baby. It
had just died.
    The next day a stranger knocked at the door.
"I am sorry at your loss of your son, Mrs Saotome."
"H.. h.. how do you know our names?" Nodoka stammered.
"I know many things." He replied.
"What do you want from us?" Genma asked.
"Well, I wish to be adopted."
"Adopted?" Genma and Nodoka chorused.
"I am an orphan, my parents dead. Upon hearing about
your loss I felt that I may be able to fill your chasm
in your heart over the lost of your child."
Genma thought 'If I adopt him the Tendo and Satome schools may be joined!'. Genma took his wife aside and began to try to convince
her to accept. Nodoka was against it still grieving for her lost
baby. Then something made her change her mind. That something
happened to be Genma's wandering hand but we won't go into those
details. With that the stranger was adopted into the family
and there was much happiness. There was the problem of
the name though.
"What is your name?" Genma asked.
"Call me Ranma." He replied.
Later that day Ranma took Genma aside.
"You are a practioner of the School of Anything Goes?" Ranma asked.
"Yes." Genma replied.
"You also have invented a pair of secret techniques?"
"How do you know about those?"
"The Umi-sen-ken and Yami-sen-ken. I wish to learn them."
"But, but, but I could only teach them to the heir..." Genma trailed off.
"I am the heir unless you have someone better in mind?" Ranma finished.

Leona had seen many things in her
short life that defied reality.
This went beyond defiance,
and mooned reality while giving it the
metaphorical finger.

Or not to be that is the question before the bench
For the less traveled is paved with good intentions

From whose dark bore no traveler returns

It is a far far better thing that Christmas morn
For tomorrow is another day
A shot rang out, the shot heard round the world,
suddenly guns to the left of me guns to right of me
