I have decided to send the rest of the prologues in one big e-mail. And send 
Chapter 1 right after that. 

Just one question: Is there an offical nome for Kurama's HS? I thought I saw 
a name that was used when I frist started reading Fanfiction but I don't know 
if it is official. And Cartoon Network hasn't gotten that far.... And I only 
have 2 DVDs so that doesn't help. I have looked on YYH web sites but they 
haven't been helping, and I don't remember where I saw the name.

Tale to Tell

Ranma

He was sitting on the roof of his grandfather's house . . . well, more like 
mansion. After the failed wedding things in Nerima had gotten better for a 
time, but then things just got worse. His mother decided that Genma had to 
fix his own mistakes. 

She pulled him out of Furnikin High School and brought him to her fathers' 
home. She told all the girls that if they followed him without first 
realizing that he was not someone's possession, that he was a living being 
with thoughts, feelings, desires and needs, then there would be legal 
ramifications. 

She told Ku Lon that if she ever came after him again that she would make 
sure that the Amazons did not survive. But she also said that if Ranma 
decided that he wanted to go to China and live with Shan Pu then she would 
not stop him. But it had to be his choice.

His mother told him today that she had something important to tell him after 
school. He was starting a new High School today. When his mother realized 
just what he had asked his teachers to do when it came to his grades she was 
surprised. Over the past year and a half he had been getting high marks but 
he kept that from everyone. He had asked his teachers to make everyone 
believe that he was not getting good grades. He also paid Nabiki to keep 
quiet about it - after all she was his tutor. She still helped him out when 
he needed it. Now he was going to one of the best schools in Tokyo. He also 
hoped that one of the girls would grow up soon. 

He jumped down from his perch and onto the balcony of his room and went 
inside to get ready for school.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yusuke

He woke up with a start. His mother was babbling about having a dream where 
he died, again. Not that he had never died before . . . he had, twice, but 
his mother had been having the same dream since he came back from the first 
time he died. He comforted her and got out of bed. 

He had promised to at least be in school and not cut as often. Now that he 
was part of a group and the default leader he realized that he needed to 
learn. He needed to have knowledge at his fingertips, like Kurama. He did not 
believe that he needed good grades but the grades came with the information. 

Takanaka sensei was helpful once he had asked for the help. Keiko was 
surprised that he was actually doing the work, but she did not seem surprised 
the he could do the work, and that surprised him. He would have thought that 
she thought him as stupid as he thought himself. He was wrong . . . and he 
was realizing that he was wrong about both thoughts. No, he wasn't a genius 
but he wasn't stupid either. Kuwabara was doing better just to try to outdo 
him. 

He was ready for school. Now he had to pick up Keiko; he walked to school 
with her every day now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usagi

She got up early and took a shower. Then she went back to sleep to wait for 
someone to wake her up. She knew that she really should start to act more 
responsibly, but she also knew the if she did her friends would try to keep 
her the way she was. They always did - she would do something out of 
character and they would ask if she was sick and not believe her when she 
said she was fine. They would bug her about it until she went back to being 
good old Usagi, the crybaby klutz. Only the Outers truly encouraged her to 
grow up. The Inners and Mamoru complained about her, but when she tried to 
change they just wanted the old Usagi back. 

Of course she hadn't been late to school since defeating Galaxcia and her 
grades were steadily improving, but no one seemed to notice, not even Luna, 
and Luna lived with her. 

She might have dozed off for a bit because before she knew it her mom was 
yelling that is was time to get up and ready for school, she opened her eyes 
and noticed that her mother had perfect timing, as usual. She jumped out of 
bed and went into her "I'm late" routine . . . then she ran off to school.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ash

He woke up to Misty complaining that there was no food and that they were 
lost. She was yelling loudly that it was all his fault! Well it was but not 
for
her reasons. 

He looked at her, thinking that she knew nothing about him. She never 
wondered 
why or how he always got them lost; she never even asked why he never learned
from past mistakes. She just thought that he was stupid . . . granted he never
corrected her assumption, but really, how can anyone be that stupid? How 
could 
the same person make the same mistakes all the time? Even Team Rocket made 
different mistakes. He wanted to get lost . . . most of the greatest times he 
had had were when he was lost. She never realized that he got them lost on 
purpose. 

He believed that Brock suspected that he was playing the idiot but after four 
years they should have figured out that he was pretending to be less 
intelligent
than he was. They never looked past the surface that he showed the world. His 
Pokemon however, did look past that - most of them anyway - Charizard and 
Charmeleon being the notable exceptions. 

He sat up and stretched, thinking that it really was time to visit 
civilization 
again. He walked over to Brock and sat down, taking a bowl of whatever was 
left.

Rock

He was standing on the roof of the new lab . . . ever since Dr. Wiley 
vanished he had a bad feeling. Now, 6 years later, Wiley had returned and the 
robots were much more dangerous. The fact that Wiley had resurfaced in Japan 
was of no consequence- he would fight evil where ever it was. But, the 
Japanese government wanted Megaman in Japan where Wiley was, so he, Dr. 
Light, and Roll had moved shop to Tokyo. 

Six years ago, when Wiley disappeared, Dr. Light had told him and Roll that 
once they reached the ages that they appeared they would start aging like 
normal children. Since Rock was designed to look like a 10 year old boy, and 
his 17th birthday was in a few months, (that meant that he had been aging 
normally for 6 years), and so had Roll, she would be 16 soon. Rock did not 
know haw he could age like a human but he did . . . Dr. Light had also said 
that he would stop aging on his 
21st birthday. Dr. Light also told them to call him Father so they did . . . 
Rock liked having a father, and so did Roll. 

Dr. Light also started them in school 6 years ago, so they were living like 
normal human kids. Rock and Roll were going to go to school in Japan too. 
Rock liked going to school and doing things that did not involve destruction. 
Roll was at the top of her class; Rock tried not to show off, but he also got 
very good grades. He was starting in a new High School today. Roll was going 
to one of the best school in Tokyo. Rock was going to one of the other 
schools- he did not want to go to such a competitive school, but Roll thrived 
on such things. 

Rock went inside to get ready for school; after all he did not want to 
be late for his first day . . . .
