Part 1
"Oh, man," says Ranma, as he wakes up with a splitting headache. "What a night…"
The last thing that Ranma recalled was falling asleep in the car, with Usagi, his wife, at the wheel. They had been at a party celebrating a co-worker's birthday at a local bar in Colorado Springs, Colorado, before calling it a night.
As he rubbed his eyes, he realized two things:
One, there was a panda asleep next to him.
And, two, he realized that he was back at the Tendo Residence.
"What the heck?" Ranma says, just as he dodged water being thrown his way.
SPLASH!
"Huh," Nabiki says, as she lowers her bucket. "It seems that I won't get a chance to wake you up as normal, Saotome."
"Oh, please," says Ranma, as he gets. "You haven't gotten me for years."
And with that, Ranma proceeded to tickle Nabiki.
"H-hey now!" Nabiki says in surprise.
"What? I KNOW you like being tickled, even though you preferred not to be."
"You know, I could charge you to keep THIS between ourselves."
"Who are you going to tell?" Ranma scoffed, as he gets his towel and washcloth. "Look, I'm going to take shower. I'll see you in a bit."
And with that, Ranma steps out through the door.
"I don't know what game you are trying to play, Ranma-baby, but you're going to regret that," Nabiki says icily.
Meanwhile…
"Good morning," Usagi says, as she goes down the stairs, wearing a halter top and mini-skirt.
"Usagi!" Usagi's father Kenji yells.
"What?"
"Honey, you shouldn't dress like that before school," Usagi's mother Ikuko says with concern.
"Yeah, you look like those older bad girls that hang out downtown-" Shingo begins to say, before a single glance from his father silenced him.
"Er, or not…"
"Dad, I graduated from school a couple years ago-" Usagi says, as she notices the date on Kenji's newspaper. According to it, it was four years ago.
"What?" Kenji yelled. "You're not dropping out of school, are you?"
"Oh, my baby is going to be a degenerate!" Ikuko moaned.
"Um, I'm sorry, heh," Usagi laughed it off. "I was just joking."
"Well, it's not funny, Usagi," Ikuko says. "You have enough trouble in school as it is."
"Don't worry, Mom," Usagi says with a bright smile. "I'll behave."
"Good," Kenji says. "You can start by getting out of that ridiculous outfit."
"Yes, sir," Usagi says, as she runs back upstairs. Unknown to Usagi, Luna was quietly observing all this…
Meanwhile…
"Ranma, is something the matter?" Akane asked, as the two of them walked to school.
"Hmmm?" Ranma says, as he looked up.
"I asked if there was something wrong."
"No, why would there be?"
"Well, usually, you walk on top of the chain fence."
"Well, maybe I want a change or something," Ranma says. However, the truth was that something weird was happening to him. For starters, he seems to be in the past-
"Ay-yah!" Shampoo says with glee, as she almost ran into Ranma.
Almost.
BAM!
Shampoo fell on her rear-end, as Ranma caught shampoos bicycle and take out cart.
"Ranma!" Akane yells.
"What?" Ranma replied. He knew that Shampoo could take a fall like that, since she was a trained martial artist. Treating her like a delicate flower would have been an insult to her as an Amazon.
"Oh, never mind!" Akane says, as she helps Shampoo up. "Are you okay?"
Shampoo looks at Ranma for a long moment.
"Shampoo?" Ranma says with concern.
"Ranma!" Shampoo says, as she hugs Ranma tightly. "Husband REALLY like Shampoo!"
"Xian Pu, I need to breath," Ranma says in Chinese…specifically Shampoo's dialect."
Suddenly, Shampoo breaks away.
"Are you alright, husband?" Xian Pu says in her native tongue, as she felt Ranma's forehead.
"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I?"
"What are you two saying?" Akane asked angrily.
"Shampoo has to go," Shampoo says in broken Japanese, as she takes her bike and leave.
"Weird," Ranma says.
Meanwhile…
"…And according to the 'Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle', things can be both true and false," Usagi says, as she gave her answer, while writing on the chalkboard…which was filled with mathematical equations. "What do you think, Miss Haruna?"
"Uhhh," Miss Haruna says, having been blown away by Usagi's 'show-and-tell' demonstration, using illusionism as the method.
"Miss Haruna?"
"I think that was interesting," Haruna says. "You may take your seat."
"Thank you," Usagi says, as she sits back into her seat, leaving her fellow Sailor Scouts in a perplexed state.
Later, during lunch…
"I'm telling you, THAT isn't Usagi," Makoto says, as she observes Usagi reading a book while sitting by herself at a picnic table.
"How can you tell?" Minako asked.
"She's reading a book, for one."
"Okay, that's unusual, but-
"She's reading a THICK book in English, and we all know that studying and Usagi don't mix."
"Hmmm…"
Makoto turns to Ami, who was taken readings of their friend.
"So, what you got, Ami?"
"I…I don't know."
"What do you mean-?"
"I DON'T KNOW," Ami says forcefully. "All I know that that the sensor readings are churning out garbage from sensory overload. But what I can say is that the person we are watching has a power that dwarfs the power of Sailor Chaos."
"…"
"Then I suggest we confront this…person at the Cherry Hill Temple this afternoon," says Luna, as she and Artemis, Moon Cat Guardians, were perched on a limb of a tree on school grounds.
"It will be the only way to know what has happened to the Moon Princess," Artemis says.
Sailor Scouts all nod their heads collectively.
"Curious…most curious," Usagi says, as she took a bite of her apple. Even without her enhanced senses, she learned a long time ago how to read lips.
Meanwhile…
"Have at thee!" Upperclassman Tatewaki Kuno yells, as he performed his latest technique. Based upon the watermelon trick, Kuno was able to upgrade the attack to create a tornado attack.
FWOOSH!
"Ranma, be careful-" Akane called out.
Ranma ignored Akane, as he observes the attack.
"Simple enough," Ranma says, as he formed a few hand signs.
TING!
Akane sees this, and notices some sort of force spring up around him.
Ranma then stuck out his palm, as a ball of concentrated air and wind seemed to form around it. Now normally, this would be the making of a 'Rasengan' (a concentrated ball of spinning "chakra"). However, this time, Ranma was purposely diluting the sphere to perform-
"Air Style Jutsu: Horizontal Twister!"
FWOOSH!
A large twister springs forth from Ranma's hand, cutting into Kuno's attack, before knocking Kuno into a wall.
BAM!
"Whoa," Akane says.
"You ready to get a snack, or something?" Ranma says, as he turns to face his fiancée.
"Um, sure," Akane says, as she took one last look at the devastating scene. "Wait, since do you have money?"
"Oh, since your sister was kind of enough to forgive my debts," Ranma says, recalling the look on her face, when semi-nude photos of Nabiki Tendo appeared in her locker, with a note indicating the need to forgive debts of would-be family members.
Paying for the negatives featuring one semi-nude Nabiki Tendo was a whole other matter.
Meanwhile…
"Hey, guys," Usagi says, as she enters the courtyard of the Cherry Hill Temple. "How come you're in 'uniform'?"
"We want to know who you are," Sailor Mars says.
"THAT is a good question," Usagi says, as looks up. "Who ARE we…in this life?"
"I'm serious!"
"We know that you can't be Usagi," Sailor Jupiter says, as she cracked her knuckles. "So, either tell us the truth…or ELSE."
"Hmmmm," Usagi says. "I think I'll take the 'or else', part for 500, Alex."
"Fine…JUPITER THUNDER CRASH!"
CHOOM!
Sailor Jupiter throws a concentrated burst of lightning at Usagi.
Usagi focused her thoughts, and then caught the lightning bolt, and allowed it go through her body harmless.
"…"
"If you want to challenge me, then I will gladly accept it," Usagi says, as she gets into a loose fighting stance. "But know this: I don't plan to go easy on any of you."
