In the great green room, there was a disclaimer from Jerri

stating she does not own Ranma 1/2, Goodnight Moon, or a Berry.

Goodnight Ranma

In the Tendo's big hall

There was a little Saotome

And a big family

With Grandpa Panda –

balancing on a big ball

And there were pictures of Aunties Kasumi and Nabiki

And a Mom and Dad who smiled

Watching over their small child

And Grandpa Soun dancing a jig

And a plush of a black pig

And Mom's mush (Hopefully it's edible) and a toy heap and a child who began to weep

When Grandma Nodoka said "It's time to sleep"

Goodnight hall

Goodnight ball

Goodnight Grandpa Panda balancing on a ball

Goodnight toy heap

Goodnight Auntie Kasumi

Goodnight Auntie Nabiki

Goodnight Mom

Goodnight Dad

Goodnight Grandpa Soun and his jig

Goodnight plush black pig

Goodnight mush

And goodnight Grandma Nodoka whispering "hush."

Goodnight Nermia

Goodnight air

Goodnight people everywhere


"Kasumi what are you doing?" Nabiki asked as she entered the living room.

Kasumi quickly covered up her notebook. "Oh, nothing important."

Nabiki raised an eyebrow. "If it's nothing, why did you cover it up so quickly?"

Kasumi blushed. "It's just a little something for Akane and Ranma if they ever need it."

Nabiki blinked. "What is it?"

Kasumi smiled brightly. "It's a collection of bedtime stories."


So I'll admit there are some reasons that I wanted to do this.

1) I wanted to introduce a new category for my fan fictions called IBFF (Inspired By Fan Fiction). This was inspired by Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. This leads to reason number 2.

2) I can't get Goodnight Moon out of my head thanks to a certain 2 year old. He's my little brother who just loves being read too. His copy is literally duck taped because it's been used so much.

3) I really love the idea of Kasumi making a nursery book for a future little Saotome! ^-^

4) And finally, no matter how short, I didn't want to go another 6 months with ideas and not post any of them. I was embarrassed that I let myself sit on that story for so long! XD

I'm not sure if I will add anything to this or not. I guess time will tell :)

Update: As of 8-13-2014, the name of this series changed to Kasumi's Bedtime Stories.
