Chapter 1
-"Interchange Student Program Selection"-
Life for Ranma has not being so kind to him. Ever since the fail Wedding, his bad luck has gotten worse. His -'fiance'- Akane has starting to become more mean to him. Yelling and hitting him for even the tinest thing; for not paying attention to her, saying that -'he's ignoring her'-, blaming him for all the bad stuffs or accidents that happen to her. Ranma couldnt even talk or even see another girl, cause she'll pound him hard, cause in her mind -'he's being a pervert'-, or -'he wants to take advantage of an innocent girl, so she must stop him'-. Sometimes even when he isnt doing anything, she'll still hit him, cause -'he's up to something'-.
Not only does he has to deal with his crazy fiance, but also deal with his rivals and other fiancess.
After the fail wedding, his rivals have assaulting him more then usually. Especially Ryoga and Kuno. Ryoga with his same line -'his life has being hell'-, and Kuno with -'foul sorcerer'-. Mousse with -'Shampoo is mine'-. Happosai is nagging him and trying for him to try out one of his Bra and Panties, ending up with Ranma kicking him to the sky. Even Cologne has started assaulting him lately, saying to him that she's only -'training him, so he doesnt get rusty'-.
His other fiancess arent any better. No longer married due to the fail wedding, there starting to come after him at full force. Shampoo, Ukyo and Kodachi coulndt leave him alone not one day. Coming from anywhere, they grop him and say that -'marry her'-, leading to a dissaster as Akane always magical appears at those moments, and nail him with her hammer.
And also he cannot forget his parents. They are also part of his bad luck in life. His father Genma cannot leave him alone and yell him that he must marry Akane due to his promise to Soun, and that is a matter of honor. Of course, Ranma knows full well that Genma and Soun arent really doing all that cause of Honor or Dutty, cause they cared for his wealthbeing nor anything. They only want the joining of the School, so they can life off Ranma hard work. While he works hard for the School, they'll live off by cashing in the cash Ranma makes of it.
His mother, always preaching him about being a -'manly man'- and all that crap. Instead of helping him with his situation, she makes it worse by supporting Genma ideals.
Ranma at his point, he's so tire of having to deal with all that stress. He might be one hell of a figther, but he's still a human being. And like all human beings, there's so much he can take before collapsing. Even the most wisest of man can reach their limit...and Ranma limit was near the end.
At night before going to bed, Ranma would always gaze at the stars and pray for a miracle to happen to him. To some peoples, that would look too childless to believe in wishes, but for Ranma, that was one of the things that keep him going to believe in something.
-Nerima High School-
Ranma was in his class reading a book that Miss. Hinako order his students to read. When an annoucment came that Principal Kuno order all the students to attend in the Gym for some news.
In the Gym, the students were waiting for the Principal to arrive and gives what news they were told they recive.
Daisuke:" Hey Ranma, what news do you think the Principal will give us?"
Ranma:" Beats me. But anything from that whacko cannot be good news"
Hiroshi:' Ha ha, so true Ranma"
In that moment Principal Kuno show up and went to the stand;
Principal Kuno:" HELLO MY LITTLE KEKIS. YOUR PRINCIPAL HAVE SOME WONDERFUL NEWS. YOUR SCHOOL FURINKAN HIGH WAS CHOSEN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE UPCOMING -"INTERCHANGE STUDENT PROGRAM"-
This news caught the attention of the students:
-"-Interchange Student Program? What is that?"
Principal Kuno:" UUUUH, I AM SO GLAD YOU ASK THAT. YOU SEE, ITS A PROGRAM WHERE STUDENTS FROM EVERY SCHOOL IN THE WORLD WILL EXCHANGE WITH EACH OTHERS. IN OTHER WORDS, STUDENTS FROM SCHOOLS FROM OTHERS COUNTRIES WILL GO TO OTHERS SCHOOLS AS A EXCHANGE STUDENT. TAKE THIS EXAMPLE; A STUDENT FROM AMERICA WILL GO TO A SCHOOL FROM, LETS SAY, BRASIL, OR A STUDENT FROM CANADA WILL GO TO LONDON, AND SO ON"
Now that news really went well with them. The idea to go to another school in any part of the world. That excited them big:
-"WOW, REALLY. THAT IS SO COOL"-
-"I'm really interesting in that"-
-"Can you imagine going to another school in Brasil, or Russia"-
Principal Kuno:" I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKE NEWS. HOWEVER KEKIS, ITS ONLY FOR A LIMITED GROUP. SO...WHAT WE'LL DO IS THIS. WE'LL CHOOSE RANDOMLY THE STUDENTS, SORTA LIKE THE LOTTERY. SO, IN TWO DAYS, WE'LL POST ON THE SCHOOL BOARD THE LUCKY STUDENTS WHO WILL GO. UNTIL THEN, THATS THE NEWS. NOW GO BACK TO YOUR CLASSES"
Ending the news, the Principal left to his office, while the students went to their daily classes. They were all excited for hearing the news. To go to other Schools from around the world, was too good.
Sayuri:" - (happy) – Wow, can you believe that Akane. To go to another School in the world. Its so awesome"
Akane:" I know. I hope that I get pick. I would love to go to London, or Dubbai"
Daisuke:" Hey Ranma. Arent you excited about the news. I am sooooo looking forward to see if I get selected."
Ranma:" Well, a little."
Daisuke:" A little. Ranma, imagine if you get pick. You'll be able to go to another School like, I dont know, Russia, Korea, Alaska."
Ranma:" Well, it does...but I dont know."
Akane:" - (glaring him) – Ha, yea right. Like you'll ever get pick. Get real."
Sayuri:" Akane, that was a little mean. Perhaps he could win."
Akane:" That jerk selected, not in a million years."
-Tendo House-
When they arrive, Akane gave the news to her family. And naturally they celebrate like if she had won already.
Soun:" - (happy cries) – OH, THOSE ARE SOME WONDERFUL NEWS AKANE. IF YOU ARE SELECTED, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY, AND LEARN MANY THINGS, AND HAVE SOME FUN"
Kasumi:" I'm happy for you. And I hope that the both of you get pick to go"
Ranma:" Thanks Kasumi. But I wouldnt get my hopes up. After all, its a limited group, and there so many students in Furinkan High to select to"
Akane:" You. Selected Ranma. - (mock laugh) – Like that will ever happen. You're just a dumb jock. No way you'll ever be pick for something like that"
Kasumi:" Akane, dont be so mean to Ranma. He may have a chance to go just as you. Who knows, maybe in the end the both of you will earn a spot"
Ranma:" Thanks Kasumi. That was nice of you"
Akane:" - (glaring) – Keep dreaming you jerk, cause that's all you'll ever have"
Later in the night, in Ranma room where he share with Genma, his father was already asleept, and Ranma has change ready to go to bed. But not before he goes out to he balcony and gaze at the stars above.
Ranma:" Man. It would be cool if I get to go to another School in a diferent Country! It could be one great opportunity to not only see other countries, but also the great opportunity to get away from Nerima and its madness. - (happy sigh) – To be able to get away from the crazy rivals and fiancess. It would be a blitz. Not having to worry about incoming fights, or gropes or getting poison by Akane food...and be able to rest from it all. To truly rest. - (sad sigh) – But alas...wiht my rotten luck I always have, it will be like Akane said, only in dreams i'll ever get that chance. Oh well, one can dream right, yea right. Better get to bed."
With that Ranma goes to his bed and fall to sleept...unaware in the night sky a shooting star appeare...
-Furinkan High 2 days later-
The news came and the Principal gave the news via broadcast;
-"HELLO MY KEKIS. PRINCIPAL KUNO HAVE WONDERFUL NEWS. THE RESULTS OF THE STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM HAVE ARRIVE. WE'LL POST THE RESULTS ON THE SCHOOL BOARD. THAT IS ALL"-
When the school staff put the results in the board...the whole school students went on a rampage and went to the patio to see the results to see if their names came on.
Pushing and yelling at each others they try to look at it to see it. They were some yelling happy for being chosen and many dissapointed groans were heard for not being chose.
-"- (happy) - Alright. I get to go to Canada"-
-"Yatta. I'm gonna go to Alaska"-
-"I cant believe it. - (screaming) – AFRICA IS WHERE I'M GOING, WOO HOOOOO"-
-" - (sad groan) – Oh man, I didnt get pick. That sucks"
-"Me neither"-
Akane push through the crow rough to see the Board and see if her name was on it:
Akane:' - (searching like a madgirl) – Lets see, lets see. Wheres my name, where's my name"
After some heavy searching...she didnt see her name anywhere. She was beginning to get mad and desperate:
Akane:" Come one come on, where is it. Where's my name?"
But in the end, she didnt find it...meaning that she wasnt chosen:
Akane:" WHAT! MY NAME WAS NOT ON IT. BUT...THAT CANT BE. IT MUST BE SOME MISTAKE"
Sayuri:" Sorry that you werent selected Akane. Perhaps next time you'll get your chance"
Akane:" BUT, BUT, BUT, WHY WASNT I PICK? ITS NOT FAIR"
Meanwhile, Ranma was with Daisuke:
Daisuke:" Man, to bad I didt get to go, perhaps next time. Hey Ranma, arent you gonna look if you were selected?"
Ranma:" Nya, why bother. I'm pretty sure I was not pick"
Daisuke:" How can you be sure of that! Just take a look, who knows, maybe it could be your lucky day"
Ranma:" Lucky day! Me! I wouldnt bet on it."
Daisuke:" Well, if you're not gonna check, I will. Lets see..."
Daisuke began to scan the board to search for Ranma name. While he was looking at the board, Ranma aproach Akane and her friend. Seening Akane mad and sad, he decided to cheer her up:
Ranma:" You werent pick right Akane. Dont let it get you. Hey, I didnt get pick also, so you're not the only one hehehe"
Akane:" WHO CARES IF YOU WERENT SELECTED! NO ONE CARES. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT YOU HAD A CHANCE TO BEGIN WITH. YOU'RE NOT WORTHY OF ANYTHING."
Sayuri:" Akane. Ranma's just trying to be nice to you. Dont take out your frustation on him."
Ranma:" Let it go Sayuri, no reason to argue with her. But like I say before...i know that I was not pick. But i'm cool with it"
-"Are you sure about that Ranma"-
Ranma heard Daisuke calling him. He turn around to see him:
Ranma:" Yea. Why?"
Daisuke:" Because Ranma...- (happy) – YOU WERE SELECTED"-
Hearing that, they all gasp and went to him...
Ranma:" What are you talking about Daisuke. What do you mean I was selected?"
Daisuke:" Thats what I say. You were chosen, look"
They all look at the board and saw his name...
-"Ranma Saotome. College Francoise Dupon. Paris France."-
Ranma coul not believe what he was seening. His name was on the board. HE was selected after all. His friend were happy for him:
Ranma:" - (speechless) – I..i dont believe it. My name is there. I...was pick after all"
Daisuke:" Way a go buddy. Congratulation. And you say you werent gonna win it"
Sayuri:" You got pick, oh thats so good. I'm happy for you Ranma"
Ranma:" He, - (chuckle) – Thank you all. I...dont know what to say hehehehe"
Of course...not everyone was happy at Ranma luck. Akane was furious, and was cover in a angry energy, and was only glaring deadly hard at Ranma.
-Tendou House-
When Ranma and Akane arrive, Ranma gave the news that he was chosen, and he was expecting some contratulation or well done. But all he got was cursing and yelling from them, especially from Akane who is trying to pound him with her mallet.
Ranma:" HEY, WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH ME THIS TIME AKANE?"
Akane:" SHUT UP YOU CHANGE SEX FREAK. WHY THE HELL DID YOU GET SELECTED AND NOT ME. I WAS SUPPOSE TO GET PICK, NOT YOU"
Ranma:" HEY, ITS NOT MY FAULTH. YOU HEARD THE PRINCIPAL. IT WAS RANDOMLY HOW THEY PICK THE WINNERS"
Akane:" ITS NOT FAIR YOU HEAR ME, NOT FAIR. I SHOULD HAD BEING THE ONE TO GO TO FRANCE, NOT YOU. I SHOULD HAVE WON IT AND GO TO FRANCE, BUT YOU TOOK IT, NO, YOU STOLE IT FROM ME"
Ranma:" Seriusly Akane! That's dumb"
Soun:" - (mad) – RANMA, HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY BABY GIRL OPPORTUNITY"
Ranma:" Are you for real Mr. Tendou! I did not '-steal'- her anything. I was chosen by random."
Akane:" THIS IS A MISTAKE. YOU...YOU... YOU PROBALY GOT IN COHOOT WITH THE PRINCIPAL AND MADE A DEAL TO GET SELECTED"
Ranma:" - (sarcastic) – Oh sure Akane. I made a deal with the Principal, the person who's always bugging me and making crazy rules, and probaly hates me, a deal to be selected. Get real"
Genma:" BOY, AS YOUR FIANCE, YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE HER WITH YOU TO FRANCE. NO WAY YOU'RE LEAVING HER BEHIND"
Ranma:" Can't. Only those who were chosen can go."
Blinded by rage – (as ussualy) – Akane started to attack Ranma. But Ranma had no trouble dodging her attacks, cause she didnt had any skill what so ever. She attacked blinded, throwing fist and kicks with no focus on them.
Ranma:" - (annoyed) – Would you nock it off Akane. You're making it sound like if it was my fault"
Akane:" IT IS YOUR FAULT. IS ALWAYS YOUR FAULT FOR ALL OUR MISFORTUNES. JUST LIKE HOW IT WAS YOUR FAULT THAT I DIDNT WIN"
Ranma:" You are so full of it Akane. When things dont go your way, you blame me. That's pathetic"
Nodoka:" - (scolding him) – Ranma, how can you say that to your fiance. That is not manly of you. You musy apologize to her right now"
Ranma:' Why the hell should it! That has always being her problem. She cannot accept the fact that the world does not revoult around her. If she makes a mistake, she blames someone else, like me"
Kasumi:" Now now, lets not fight over that. We should be happy for Ranma. This could be a great chance for him to learn from other cultures."
Ranma:" Thank you Kasumi"
Nodoka:" Well, I suppose you're right. My son does indeed need to prepare in his education, and that could be a good opportunity for him to learn in another School"
Soun:" - (calming down) – Guess there's no point argue of this. It is for Ranma education after all. - (tear eyes) – BUT HE'S GONNA LEAVE MY GIRL BEHIND"
Genma:" Boy, you better take advantage of this opportunity handle over to you, and not slack off like ussually."
Ranma:" I am not YOU old man, so of course i'll make the best of it. I wonder how France is? Never being there though"
Kasumi:" Well now you will know"
After having dinner, Ranma took a shower and was preparing to go to bed. Before doing that, he was preparing for his trip. He was so happy and excited. Not just cause he was gonna go to another School in another country, but because he had the great opportunity to get away from Nerima and the madness of his life there. For a time, he would not had to worry about crazy fiancess, rivals, old gnomes and old crones bugging him. The wish he always asked the stars finally came true.
Finishing his suit case and school stuffs for the trip, he look at the window and see that stars:
Ranma:" I still cannot believe it. I'm gonna go to Paris France. I thought I was fooling myself, or that I couldnt get lucky. But...it seem that, for once in my life, I got a break. Guess that miracles do happen."
-Nerima International Airport-
All the students who were chosen where there, ready to get on board their plains to go to their destination. Their families and friends where there to wish them good luck and bid good bye.
Ranma was there with his family, as well as his friends Hiroshi and Daisuke. He grabs his suitcase and backpack.
Ranma:" Well, I guess this is it. Time for me to go to France. I'm kinda nervous. Going to another Country, meeting other peoples and learning other cultures."
Hiroshi:" You'll do fine Ranma. Dont get stress about it"
Daisuke:" Yea. Just remember to bring us some souvenirs though from France when you return."
Ranma:" Haha you guys"
Nodoka:" Now Ranma, I expect that you will study hard there, listen to your teachers. And I dont want you to cheat on your fiance Akane with those French girls, am I clear"
Ranma:" Yea mom, whatever"
Genma:" Obey your mother on this boy. Remember that you already have a future wife waiting for you here. So I dont want to find out that you're having fun with other girls not being Akane. You have to uphold Honor and Duty"
Ranma:" - (snort) – Ha, like you ever hold your own."
Kasumi:" Ranma, I do hope that you have a great time there in France. Try to call us once and a while, or send us an E-mail, telling us your time and adventures. Okay"
Ranma:" Sure Kasumi, I will."
Nabiki:" Aren you gonna say good bye to Akane Ranma?"
Ranma:" Oh right..."
He turns to Akane, who had her back on him, cause she didnt want to see him. Still piss off about the situation of her not able to go.
Ranma:" So Akane, um, its time for me to leave. Dont worry about me and dont be sad – (or mad) -, i'll come back. And i'll even bring you something cute, and..."
He couldnt not finish his line, for Akane turn around and face him with a angry face:
Akane:" - (ice voice) - You think I care if you go. YOU THINK I CARE ABOUT YOU AT ALL! LEAVE. GET OUT OF HERE AND DONT COME BACK. NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE. GO AND HAVE FUN WITH YOUR NEW FRENCH BUDDIES AND FRENCH SCHOOL OR SOMETHING. I HOPE YOU DIE YOU JERK"
Then she turns and leave the place. Ranma felt kinda sad about her attitude toward him.
Soun:" - (trying to calm him) – Now now Ranma, dont mind Akane. She probaly say those things cause she's...she's sad about you leaving her, so she doesnt want to show how hurt she is hehehe"
Genma:" Yea, I know that deep down she's in pain"
Ranma:" -(thinking) – Yea right."
-"PASSANGERS TO DESTINATION TO FRANCE. FLIGHT WILL LEAVE IN 15 MINUTES"-
Ranma:" That's my call. I better get going."
Daisuke:" Good luck Ranma and hope that you have a great time"
Hiroshi:" Man, it's gonna be very bore without you."
Ranma:" I know. But not to worry you guys, still have the others whackos there, like the Kunos"
Daisuke:" Hahaha, you're right."
Kasumi:" - (hugging Ranma) – I wish you the best of luck. Study hard and make friends there and try to have a good time, okay Ranma"
Ranma:" I will, it wont be same without your cooking. - (grabbing his stuffs) – See you everyone"
Picking up his belongings, Ranma heads for the departure entrance and heads up for his plane.
The plane took off, leaving the Airport. In the sky...Ranma watch through the mirrow and sees the view.
Ranma:" This is it. I'm heading to another School in another Country. I'm gonna make the best of it. But mosy of all...it will be a wonderful change to finally rest, and not having to worry about incoming rivals or crazy fiancess...and Akane beatings. Finally...to be able to live a normal life."
