Ryoga's Scroll of Wishes

Disclaimer: Rumiko owns Ranma 1/2 and all characters. This is mainly an idea I have for a story. I want to expand on it, but want some input before I do..
--- --- ---
Ryoga walks into the Antique Shop (the same one Kuno gets the Pheonix Egg) to avoid a downpour. While there, the owner tells him to buy something or get out. Since its still raining, Ryoga pretends to be looking at the stuff on the shelves. Seeing a scroll reminds him that he wants to send another challenge letter to Ranma soon, and he picks it up, thinking to use it (he has run out of paper previously). The dealer tells him that supposedly this scroll can grant five wishes to its owner, but warns that these wishes never come out the wisher intends. Also, as these wishes are fulfilled, they are stroked off magically, so you can tell if they are fulfilled or not. Thinking of a cure for his curse, love of Akane, defeat of Ranma, etc, Ryoga trades his battle-umbrella (which the owner thinks is an antique) for the scroll. The last thing the dealer tells him is that the magic has worn away with time, so sometimes the wish takes a while to be granted.
His first wish is never to be a pig again, those exact words. As he walks with the scroll in hand, he bumps into the back of a delivery truck, and gets splashed with a barrell of Spring-of-Drowned-Girl, which Cologne had asked for to cure Shampoo's curse. So Ryoga now is cursed to change into a girl when splashed with cold water instead of a pig. Wish fulfilled.
His second wish is to have a cure for his curse come to him. A few minutes later, a person is giving away free compasses as a promotion for a 'Nerima survival' store (amy surpluss or such). Ryoga looks at the compass, then sees that his second wish was fulfilled.
His third wish is to be cured of his Jusenkyo curse. This gets fulfilled when Happosai hits him in the air and he finally lands in a hot spring (thinking a quick cross with Love Hina for this)
Seeing how he wasted three wishes already, Ryoga gives up on trying to get a cure. His fourth wish is to have Akane as his girlfriend. A block later, a girl comes out a door in front of him, goes up to him, and asks him to go on a date. Her name is Akane, and as soon as she saw him, she wanted to go out with him. Ryoga figures out much later (after supper, movie, walk in the park) that he hadn't specified which Akane, so the closest girl named Akane was chosen.
He's finally down to his last wish, and Ryoga starts to hesistate what exactly to do with it. He could use it to wish to beat Ranma from now on, try again to get Akane (Tendo) to be his girlfriend, or a couple other ideas. He thinks back to how much trouble the scroll gave him in the last two days, and how none of his wishes really came true. A loud, omnious noise from above hints at a storm, and he regrets giving up his umbrella. Finally, he makes a decision and writes it down after seeking shelter..
His last wish is to return the scroll and get his umbrella back . Coincidentally, his place of shelter happens to be the antique store. The propietor is examining what looks to be his umbrella at his counter. The propietor notices his formaer customer when Ryoga grabs the umbrella and gives the scroll back. The lost boy goes outside ready to open it, ignoring whatever the owner was saying. As he steps outside, his new curse triggers as she tries to open his umbrella. The last thing is the owner saying that he had taken it apart to fix his own umbrella.

I want to keep this story pretty Ranma-esque, keeping Ryoga in character as much as possible. I'll take this off in a week and start work on the actual story then.
