A Mile in his Shoes

Pretty standard Ranma-Ryouga switch. I've heard of these before, but the links always seem to be dead. So I wrote my own.

Prologue - 5,280 feet to go
[---------------------------------------]

Ryouga was lost, no surprise there. Wandering in the wilderness. Par for the course. Blaming Ranma? Oh yeah! So why is this day so special to the wandering trans-pig? Today he learns that he should have kept his big, fat, mouth shut. Let's watch shall we? :)

"Ranma is such a wimp. Hmmpt. Claims his life is so hard. Ha! I WISH I had his life!" Ryouga screamed to the uncaring sky. The dark, uncaring sky. The dark, uncaring sky in the middle of the day. The dark, uncaring sky, in the middle of the day, with a large green dragon spiraling up into it.

"YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED!" Spoke a thundering voice from above. The dragon glowed bright white and shrunk back into 7 orbs all of which flew off in different directions.

"GOD DAMN IT!" shouted a voice brimming with female fury. Ryouga blinked. A pretty blue-haired girl was heading for him with a full head of steam. Ryouga started to get nervous, Ranma he could take any day, but he wasn't sure he was going to live through this encounter with the strange girl.

"YOU STUPID FUCK!" The young woman screamed into Ryouga's face from a distance of three inches. "HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET GOKU BACK WITHOUT THE DRAGONBALLS?" Ryouga was really starting to get worried, this girl didn't seem like much of a fighter, but now that she had gotten a couple handfuls of his shirt, she was easily shaking him back and forth like a rag doll. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH DEEP SHIT THIS PLANET IS GONNA BE IN IF WE DON'T GET HIM BACK?"

"Um... Sorry?" Ryouga tried.

"SORRY?? SORRY! YOU STUPID MOT..." Whatever the girl was going to say faded into the wind as Ryouga himself started to glow white and fade from existence, His shirt dissolving right through her grasping fingers. "COME BACK HERE YOU FUCKING COWARD!"

"SON OF A BITCH!" The blue-haired girl lashed out with her fist, accidentally clipping a taller man in an orange jumpsuit with black spiky hair and an X shaped scar on his cheek. The guy's eyes rolled back in his head as he spun around and crashed to the ground. The short bald guy in a similar orange jumpsuit looked like he was going to wet himself.

"What are we gonna do now Bulma?" Krillan asked.

The blue-haired girl sighed. "We go see Kami, and hope he has another way to get Goku home."

End Prologue

A/N: This is not planned as a DBZ crossover, I just needed some wish generator for Ryouga to walk into. It's been proven that Shenlong will grant the first "I wish..." that he hears, regardless of who said it/who summoned him. Also I really liked the thought of Bulma getting so pissed that she knocks out Yamcha without really thinking about it and had no where else to put it.
