Chapter 1
Here's a... panda?
---Tendo Dojo, Nerima---
"Tendo coming soon bringing Ranma." Soun Tendo read aloud from the postcard with a smile.
"p.s. Ranma knows everything." Soun was happy that the schools would finally be united but, was also worried about Ranma knowing about the engagement among other things. So, he did the only thing he could do… he cried.
Kasumi hearing her father crying came into the room asking "what is wrong father?"
"My good friend Genma Saotome is coming and bringing his son with him."
"So we will be having guests, oh my I'd better get some tea ready."
"Of course but, could you get your sisters first I need to make an announcement."
"Yes father" Kasumi said as she exited the room.
Soon after that the three Tendo girls were gathered in the living room waiting for their father to make his announcement.
"What is it you wanted to tell us daddy?" Nabiki asked wondering why he was wasting her time
"Yes father what is so important that we all needed to hear this?" Kasumi asked with her patented smile
"What was so important that you had to interrupt my training?" said Akane with a scowl.
"My good friend Genma Saotome is coming and he's bringing his son Ranma." He said shivering slightly under the cold stare he got from Nabiki "And one of you will be engaged to him in order to unite our two schools of anything goes martial arts." He finished the last part quickly hoping that they wouldn't hear and if they did not react too badly.
"WHAT! How can you engage us to a boy without asking?" Screamed Akane, "He's probably a pervert!"
"Calm down Akane, you haven't even met him yet he could be cute… or rich" Nabiki said.
"I hope he's not too young" Kasumi said looking uneasy "What is he like father?"
"No idea I have never met him" Soun responded nervously as he noted the glares from Nabiki and Akane and the slight frown from Kasumi which quite honestly scared him the most "But that is easily fixed as they are coming to stay with us for awhile."
Nabiki couldn't help it she had to ask "and how will they be paying us?"
"Nabiki they will be our guests we can't charge them" Scolded Kasumi
"Do you have any idea how much it costs to feed the four of us?"
Just as it looked like the middle Tendo was going to convince the eldest that they had to charge rent the doorbell rang.
Soun quickly rushed to the door and opened it too reveal… A sopping wet panda holding a sign that read \Tendo good to see you again\ Soun did the only thing someone in his right mind would do, he fainted.
Author's notes
Well that's the first chapter how was it? sorry it was short i want to see how people react to the idea. All I ask is that you take a little time to review.
A few things you should know
1. This will not be an Akane Ranma match up
2. Ranma is going to be ooc because this is an au
3. the final pairings are so far up in the air so if you have a suggestion minus Akane tell me
Any comments criticism or otherwise are greatly appreciated seeing as how this is my first attempt at writing a fanfic
