OK, so apparently I fail email attaching. It figures >_>

It's not just you. Attachments don't work on the FFML. This has been
tripping up a lot of our regulars who really ought to know better of late.

   It was raining.
   The world seemed almost totally devoid of colors, as if the water had

washed

them all away and left only a dull gray.

That's just what happens when pollution meets nature.

   Ranma, startled, looked up and examined the woman a bit more closely.

She was

tall and slim, wearing a nondescript business suit, had a black umbrella

in her

right hand, and if it hadn't been for the green hair and the red eyes, she
wouldn't have stood out much in a crowd of salarymen. Ranma automatically
assessed the woman's stance and posture and decided that she probably

weren't a

threat

*snortsnickerBWAHAHAHAHAHAHA*

   "Oh, I see. Just great," the redhead cut her off. "The only person that

seems

able to cure that crap turns out to be an older version of Nabiki! Whadda

ya

want?" she asked, hostility in her voice.

Ouch. The famed Saotome tact and cynicism hard at work.

   Setsuna sighed inwardly at that. It would probably take a long time to

win

the young martial artist's trust, but if there was something she usually

had

plenty of, it was time. The problem was that she didn't have any of it

right now

when she needed it!

Irony's a bitch, ain't it?

   "The third and final is isolation. You are not allowed to contact your
friends, relatives or fianc�es without my express permission," she

finished.

Sounds like a dream vacation for Ranma...

   "And this is for three months, you say?" Ranma mused, and finished off

her

sandwich with a quick and vicious bite. "Sounds more like a vacation to

me...

Hey! That's what I was thinkin'! XD

   "Geez, I don't see where the fire is," the redhead complained. "Calm

down,

will ya? This is a long-term commitment I'm considering here."

Three months is "long-term"? O_o;;

   "Here?" she asked. "What're we supposed to do here?"
   "You'll see in a moment," Setsuna replied, closing the umbrella and

leaning

it against a wall. She pulled something that resembled a pen out of her

left

sleeve.
   "Pluto planet power, make up," she stated matter-of-factly, and Ranma's

jaw

dropped.

Yeah, Ranma *saw* alright.... xD

blinked and was about to greet them, when one of them, a rather pretty boy

with

long, chestnut hair and something very large, covered by black cloth,

strapped

to his back interrupted her.
   "Excuse me, but have you seen a small, red-haired girl with a pigtail

around

here?" he inquired politely. "She was probably wearing Chinese clothes and

a

large backpack." The woman blinked again.
   "Yes... she left not five minutes ago," she replied. "What..." she

started,

but was interrupted again, this time by a girl with long, purple hair.
   "Where she go? Quick! This important," she snapped.
   "Th... that way," the woman stammered and pointed.
   "Good, we're catching up with him!" another girl, this one with short

black

hair, exclaimed. "Let's go!"

Ah hell. XD Pity for them there's no way in hell they can follow Ranma where
he's gotten off to...

   "Sorry about that," Pluto sighed. "I had to get us out of there before
someone found us." Ranma glared at her.
   "Who would have searched for us in that abandoned alley?" she growled.

Who do you THINK? :P

   "Great..." Ranma muttered. "For starters, where the heck are we?"

"The appropriate question is WHEN the heck are we!"

Also, unless you've noticed it by now, English is only my second language

(the

first being Swedish, and the third Chinese), so please don't
bash my grammar. Feel free to correct it, though...

Actually, you show a stronger grasp of English grammar than a lot of native
speakers and folks who ought to know better. :)

Nice start.
