The usual disclaimer: Ranma ½ is a trademark of Rumiko Takahashi and VIZ Communications, and its characters have been borrowed without permission. This story was written for non-commercial purposes only. I do claim the characters of Olaf, Mouse, and Ciren (if you want to borrow them, you only have to ask – just common courtesy after all).

This story is a companion piece to "The Date" and follows what happens to the rest of the Ranma cast during Akane and Ranma's First Date. I received enough requests (Thank you all!) that I decided to tell the flip side of the story. However, if you were hoping for a confrontation between the couple and their suitors, it is not happening. Tofu and Kasumi were a little too thorough in separating the characters. However, the Doc and his fiancée need to keep everyone busy so they will not know they have been tricked until it's too late, so the good Doctor has brought in reinforcements that only he could.

We also get to find out what else is happening to some of the other characters as well on this magical night – magical enough that the magic is not limited to Ranma and Akane….
