I think you are making one of the big and common mistakes of alternate
universe stories, having things happen exactly the same as they did in
the real continuity despite changes that should lead to things happening
differently. For example in this story, Ranma and Ranko are separate
people. Despite this, Kuno still grabs Ranko in the swimming pool.
In order to make this happen, you have Ranko jump into the swimming
pool for no good reason.
Hmm. I had to reread it, but I guess you're right.
I had thought that Ranma & Ranko had magically switched places when he got
wet and that was part of the alt. That would be more interesting, IMHO.
