Author's note:

This story just came into my mind and begged to be written. You have NO IDEA how hungry I got while writing this and how many times I had to stop to cook or eat what I was writing about. Sadly, all the cheeses are not so readily available but… it was tasty anyway.

If you're familiar with Ranma 1/2, but new to the Secret of Ukyo universe you might want to read the summary below OR read the original "Secret of Ukyo" first to get what's happening. "Ukyo's Small Adventure" is useful to have read too but, not really necessary and again, there is a summary below. There are hints to a third story as yet unpublished, but they are negligible to the story other than to add a little more flavor :)

The usual disclaimers apply, what is not mine is not mine, no profit intended from the story. Just about every character in this story belongs to Disney or Rumiko Takahashi.

I hope you enjoy reading my story. Please R&R! It does help to know people are reading this! And, if you read this, thanks to those who have already emailed me about it:) Those email make it worth while writing.

Another note:

Ukyo's Pendant has 5 pre-planed powers in this Universe. The first is an amazingly strong Telekinetic power, as revealed in "The Secret of Ukyo" (Or, for that matter, "The Secret of NIMH"); the second and third are revealed in this story; the fourth and fifth will be revealed in a later story.

Summaries of previous stories:

The Secret of Ukyo:

Shortly after the wedding fiasco took place in the last volume of the manga, Ukyo, feeling guilty over her actions and miserable from the cold shoulder Ranma was giving her decided to make up for the mess by going to Jusenkyou after the lakes had reformed in the hopes of getting some Pond of Drown Man's water for Ranma, however, while there, she had an accident and fell into the Pond of Drowned Mouse, getting a curse herself.

After being forgiven by both, Ranma and Akane, and making an unusually strong friendship with Nabiki, Ukyo decided to leave Japan for a holyday in America with her very distant family, the Fitzgibbons. While there, she came in contact with Mrs. Brisby and the Rats of NIMH. At the end of the summer, when Ukyo was going back to Japan, Mrs. Brisby gave her the medallion her husband had left for her as a sign of friendship.

Ukyo's Small Adventure:

The first story shared by both Nabiki and Ukyo. They travel to the Big Apple in the hopes of opening another branch of Uchan's, which has become a franchise under the watchful eyes of both entrepreneurs. While there, Ukyo meets Stuart Little, his family, and Margalo, and together have to fight an enemy from the past with the dubious help of a raven that seems to know a bit too much about everything, as well as get the restaurant ready for the opening party in New Years Eve.
