Go with the Flow
In the Kuno residence, inside the protection of a tall wall and surrounded by a moat, Tatewaki sat in his room filled with pictures of a blue haired girl, Akane, and a pig tailed red head girl who he referred to as his "Osage no Onna". He had bought the pictures from the covetous sister of Akane, Nabiki.
"Nabiki," Kuno smiled, "she is underhanded in how to make the most profit. I should listen to the radio soon."
Kuno lost his smile and pulled out a black marker from his dark blue sweater.

"It cannot be!" Ahead of the moat, his sister, Kodachi, heard from the woods where she in her teal leotards broke boulders with her gymnastic ribbon. Her brother's scream from inside the house caused her to lose her ribbon that shoot out into the sky.
---
"My ribbon is gone!" Beyond the Kuno wall, Shampoo was delivering some ramen on her bike as her spokes stopped when a handle of a ribbon shoot between them. Her bike stopped and she flipped over the handle bars. Rolling with her order, the carrying case cracked open and spilled the order on her.
---
"Order be late, ok!?!" Nabiki shouted into the phone. Akane rushed into the dining room and hopped next to her sister. With her hands, she rolled them in circles. With a hand over the phone, Nabiki waved Akane away. "Wait your turn, something is developing here."
Stomping away with her hands at her sides, Akane passed the kitchen to hear a radio promotion to say something stupid when the phone rang. Her eldest sister, Kasumi, tried to maneuver around Akane who jumped on the spot listening to the radio.
"Akane," Kasumi asked, "could you please be the girl who mother had always wished for and play outside for a while? I have to try to make some special soup for father."
"You constantly bring up mother when you want me to do something!" Akane stated as she opened the kitchen door to go outside. She suddenly slammed the door as Ranma tried to get in through the entrance. "Can you be less predictable and cliché?"
---
Ranma was quiet unprepared for the impact of the door and wandered off with starry eyes and drool running out of his mouth. He fell into the Tendo's pond activating the curse to turn him into a red headed girl. Happosai heard the splash of water from his room, and immediately appeared to fumble Ranma to receiving a kick to the sky.

A crash through the ceiling of Ucchan's, an okonomiyaki shop owned by Ukyö, Happosai landed face first into the grid that has been made into the front counter.
"My face!" Happosai screamed. Ukyö twirled her huge heavy spatula to lift Happosai from the grill and flip him on his back to the grill. "Ahhh…" he released a sigh of relief. Flames started to lick the back of his small frame as his purple jump suit burned. "Water!"
He ran out of the shop securely surrounded in fire. Ryöga entered after Happosai left and walked up to the counter. His quick glance to the counter where Happosai had landed transformed into a long gasp as he pointed at it.
"Oh, he landed on some okonomiyaki," Ukyo mentioned and in moving them, Ryoga held onto her spatula. He released his red pulsing hands. "Careful, everything is hot."
"Don't you see what I see?" Ryoga asked. "This okonomiyaki has the face of the Buddha, and as another sign, his glorious ass!"
"You're an idiot." Ukyo pointed out as Ryoga laughed hysterically to what he had found. "But your gullibility shows me that his is a marketable venture."
---
As a one foot ball of flame, Happosai ran around the dusty streets but stopped to watch a television in a store window showing an erotic commercial. In the Ad, a brown haired woman lathered her hair.
"How sweet!" Happosai said.
"This shampoo is for you!" The Ad suggested. Happosai had a small crowd around him wondering what to do, but the mindless almost blind Mousse ran up and hugged him.
"I knew you were for myself, Shampoo!" Mousse said. "Feel the warmth of our love!"
"Excuse me," Happosai said. Mousse held him out with one hand and with the other put on his large round glasses.
"Do you have any idea that you are fire?" Mousse asked.
"It has been cycling through my thoughts." He attested. "Do you agree for us to run around in an erratic fashion until something happens?"
"Then that is our satisfying term," Mousse dropped the old man and ran through the crowd.

In the kitchen, Kasumi looked at the mess of spilled contents and random pots topped on each other waiting to fall over to create enough a large mess. Akane stood behind her sister, shocked at what happened.
"I'm sorry," Akane said walking over to a stack of pots and over tipping them with a touch. "But, I am determined to make this work." "No thanks, Akane," Kasumi said, "why don't you play along with Ranma."
Akane left with her down casted head.
"Oh my," Kasumi said and left the kitchen to go to the dinning room. She saw Nabiki, who was lying down reading a manga. Ranma was also there in his female form washing himself off with a towel. "What are you reading, sister?"
"I don't know," she answered. "It's English; at least I suspect it to be."
"Try not to waste away your precious youth," Kasumi warned. The phone rung and Ranma picked up the cordless phone from the table. "I need it after to order in tonight."
"Ok," Ranma pressed a button to take the call.
"I'm in love with you!" Ranma heard the voice of Akane over the phone.
"Akane?" Ranma said. He heard a click.
"That is right," an announcer said on the other end, "if you hold on the line to give your name to receive your prize."
"What happened?" Kasumi asked. Nabiki flipped between two pages. Suddenly, Kodachi came onto the scene.
"Give a message to that woman who took my Ranma darling's name. Don't kiss a single more guy, it's going to be important." Kodachi said.
"I don't really understand the story myself," Nabiki said referencing a few pages ahead. "Don't worry, your brother knows."
She then looked five pages ahead and picked up the phone.
"Ukyo," Nabiki said, "do you want some business advice?"
---
"What are you doing here?" An old one foot woman said. Kodachi ran in and out of the store crashing Shampoo's bicycle into some tables. It was in the Cat Café, owned by Shampoo's great grandma, Cologne, that Mousse exhibited his unique dilemma. As another failure in life, he could add burning down the café in where his love worked and lived in at the upstairs apartment.

Genma held his broom with his pudgy panda paws sweeping the outside of Dr Tofu's practice. He was confronted by his master in flames. In the instance of a round weak roar, Genma ran to the side leading himself and Happosai to a tap that was attached with garden hose. His paws went over the tap but he broke it off. His eyes felt down but with an opened mouth he had an idea.
"This is no time to write your stupid little ideas down; you do it," Happosai yelled as Genma who was removing his marker lid with is mouth and readying his wooden signs. "I didn't look up all my friends on the internet and found out that you were the one to help me, jack ass. Get a move on it!"
Genma jumped into action and broke the tap that released a gush of water that pushed his master out of sight. Dr. Tofu came outside to see the destruction.
"I didn't hire you while Kasumi was around, did I?" Dr. Tofu asked and removed a remote from his pant pocket to turn on a television that was visible near them. Donald Trump appeared on the television.
"You're fired." Donald pointed at Genma. Genma left Dr. Tofu though his life would nave be so exciting as it did when he was more directly connected with Ranma, for some reason.
It started to rain.
