It suddenly occurs to me that two years ago I said I was still working on stuff, and
haven't managed to finish anything since. Hence, a stopgap was made, and released to a
few last month, but just to show that I haven't forgotten, here's that stopgap piece. 

=====

The Field of Cookery and Strife.

-- 

Two words. That's all the kickstart needed for an epic war. What are these words, you may
ask?

Rampaging Corn.

In a world where laughter was king, Rakhal said, "This is what happened when Ranma
surreptitiously tossed out a pot of Akane's cooking in a local corn field..."

Lightning, hail, and deflected field goal attempts all crashed into this cornfield, which
became known in local circles as the Field of Cookery and Strife. A huge crater formed,
and in this crater, two worthy opponents faced off. Ukyo Kuonji and Ukyo Tachibana.

Kuonji shouts, "I have not yet begun to marinate!"

Tachibana retorts, "I shall broil your restaurant in a glass of Yoo-Hoo." And the two
whip out their chosen dueling weapons: pies.

The battle is joined, and much popcorn was sold to spectators. They fought that way for
three hundred years, when arose from the east a Cow. A Cow of Peace. This Cow flew upon
golden clouds, each containing the brilliance of tennis shoes and their Golden Flaky
Crust.

As the Cow floated into view, shouting, "Stop! What you do is wrong! Why do you do this
thing?", a terrible omen appeared and prevented the message of Peace from being spread.

"LAAAAAND ROVER ATTAAAAAAACK!!"

Mister Q flew his vehicle straight into the Cow of Peace, and they annihilated each
other, creating a sky-shattering explosion of cream cheese and boiled mushrooms. It
splattered over all present, and they fled to the mountains to hide in caves and escape
the wrath to come.

The next day, they did it all over again, but with Walkmans.

Unfortunately, due to overindulgence on the "Tell, Not Show" concept, as well as severe
collateral damage on the Fourth Wall, they decided not to repeat the events any
additional times afterward.

Nodoka Saotome, in accordance with the prophecy, got on the planetary PA system and
scolded her son. "Ranma, your lesson had better be learned! Stay AWAY from corn fields!"

The End.
