Me: "Okay people listen up. I know that a lot of you probably have no idea what so ever what the movie "Little Nemo" (A/N: Not that I blame you guys. I was pretty young too when it came out) is so I'm going to a fusion of it with Ranma before I do the sequel where Ranma has to go back to the kingdom of Slumber land."
Ranma: "Hey!!! What happened to that other story you're doing for my section?!?!?!!?"
Me: "I know, I know. I'm multitasking; you should try it some time. But I'll continue working on that while I'm working on this too. I hope you appreciate the fact that I'm setting you up with a girl who doesn't try to hit you."
Ranma: "Oh gee another fiancé. Like as if I don't have a dozen of those already."
Me: "Hey!! I would love to have your kind of luck with the ladies. Except for Kane, I'd never live through one day if she was my fiancée. Heck I don't think I could live through an hour with her. So without further ado start the story."

Ranma looked up at the sky sadly. He hated his life, he never had a say in any of it, and the females of the Nerima wrecking crew were getting worse and worse. Shampoo even asked him to come up to her room. Ukyo was trying to talk him into kissing all the time. Kodachi was still a psycho, but he finally found a way to get rid of her by calling the mental hospital and taking away both the Kunos away in straight jackets. Akane was hitting him more and more, some times it seemed as if she was doing it just for the sake of doing it. He had unfortunately fallen out of love with Akane, things were supposed to get better after the wedding fiasco but things only got worse. He tried to stay in love with her he really did, but she unknowingly forced him out of it.
Yes Ranma fell out of love, he tried to stay in but couldn't. But believe it or not Akane was the second girl he fell in love with. The first girl he fell in love with was in a dream…or at least what he thought was a dream. He wasn't sure anymore, when he woke up he assumed it was a dream but now when he looks back at her he remembered some stuff where he actually felt things…especially that kiss at the end of the dream. He wished he could figure it out, in his dream he was the heir to an entire kingdom called Slumber land.
Ranma didn't even have a real friend in Nerima. His one true friend was believe it or not a squirrel, a flying squirrel in fact.
Flashback
Genma Soatome was looking over a batch of animals. His son wanted a friend on their training journey and suggested a pet.
"Sir, may I suggest you buy flying squirrel."
Genma looked at the guy suspiciously "Flying squirrel you say?"
He then held up a squirrel in a cage, it had a pilot's cap on. And squeaked something that sounded like "Hello."
"Yes this particular squirrel is very friendly and sometimes it sounds almost as if it can speak."
Genma looked the squirrel over and found that it could make anybody smile just by looking at it.
"And if you act now I'll throw in a free pair of pajamas!"
"Pajamas?!"
"Yes only used once. It's the deal of a life time; this kind of thing only happens once sir. You'd be a fool to pass it up."
The salesman then pulled Genma closer so the Squirrel wouldn't hear.
"I also hear that squirrels can be used for emergency food."
"Well I would normally take this sort of offer very quickly but I have no money to pay for the little guy."
"Maybe you could pay for him some other way. You did say you have a son right?"
"Oh boy I know where this is going. You want me to engage him to your daughter right?"
"You see I knew when I saw you that you were a smart customer."
"Well in the past I would've done something like that to keep both of us alive…"
"And what good father wouldn't?"
"But you're nuts if you think for a moment I'm going to engage him to your daughter just so he can have a pet!!!"
"Okay, okay. You drive a hard bargain, but what if I throw in you're very own house?"
Genma then grabbed the guy by the shoulders.
"SOLD!! I mean he's all your daughter's new fiancé."
Two hours later.
"Ranma my boy come here for a sec."
Ranma stopped playing with a toy blimp he found and came over to him.
"What is it pops?"
"Well son I've been thinking about what you said about wanting a friend on our journey with us so I got you this."
He then held out the flying squirrel to Ranma and his eyes lit with excitement.
"Wow! He looks really happy to see me!"
The squirrel then hugged Ranma's face.
"And he's all yours Ranma my boy. But wait until you hear how your old man won us a house along with it."
Now Ranma was really excited. He got a friend and a place to stay in one day.
Two hours later…
Ranma, his father and their new pet Ickerus stood in front of a run down house.
"Pops you got ripped off."
"Quiet boy!! It's just a fixer upper that's all."
So they began to fix up the old house. Genma had to engage Ranma to like twenty daughters to get supplies for it. Ranma was really excited when he found out that Ickerus could glide. The two had become fast friends, this was Ranma's first friend who didn't want to kill/marry/all of the above him. The squirrel was a better friend than even Ukyo.
So the weeks went by and Ranma and Ickerus were inseparable. Ranma actually had a bed now and loved it. They stayed in the house for about a month, of course they kept up with their martial arts training and some times even Ickerus joined in. Ranma had his own room and decorated it with things you find in kid's room. He even put in that toy blimp he found.
But then one night Ranma was visited by a stranger in his sleep. The stranger looked British and had clown following him with a box on a pillow.
Stranger said "Well Ranma it is a pleasure to finally meet you."
Meanwhile Ranma was still asleep.
"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
"You see professor? I told you we should've waited until he woke up."
"Nonsense Bon Bon, time is of the essence." He then started to poke Ranma with his umbrella.
"I say young man, wake up."
Ranma then started to wake up. When he realized his house was being invaded he got into a defensive position.
"Who are you and what do you want?!"
"Oh how rude of us, I apologize my dear fellow. My name is professor genius, but you may just call me professor. And this here is Bon, Bon."
He then pointed to a little clown girl holding the box on the pillow.
"Please to make your acquaintance."
Ranma then realized that Ickerus was still asleep so he woke him up.
He whispered to his squirrel friend "We have company. They seem friendly, but be on guard just in case."
Ickerus and Ranma then cross their arms simultaneously.
"Okay. We know who you are now, so tell us why you are here?"
The Professor then took out a scroll and started reading from it.
"You Ranma Saotome have been given a royal invitation for a play date with the princess of Slumber land."
Now Ranma was confused.
"I've never heard of Slumber land before. And this princess, she's a girl isn't she?"
The Professor then started stuttering.
"B-b-but no one has ever refused a royal invitation before!"
"But is the princess a girl?"
Ickerus squeaked "Yeah?"
"Well…yes but…"
Ranma then said very sternly "I don't know. I've never played with a girl before. (A/N: Keep in mind back then he thought Ukyo was a boy) it might not be manly to play with a girl. You see me and my friend here are going to grow up to be manly men….. Well I'm going to be a manly man; Ickerus is going to be a manly squirrel."
Ickerus then squeaked "Yeah!"
The little clown girl then started dancing around like she had to pee really badly.
"Professoooor! What about the present?"
Now they had Ranma's attention.
"Presents? You have presents for me? You never said anything about presents. I like presents."
Bon, Bon then stepped forward.
"It's from the princess. She had the royal baker made these especially for you."
She opened up the box to reveal the tastiest looking cookies anyone has ever seen.
Now Ranma was excited. "OH BOY!! I love cookies!! I love girls!!! I love the princess!!!"
Ranma then started to eat the cookies very fast but saved some for his furry friend.
The Professor then smiled at them.
"So you'll come?"
Ranma then finished eating a cookie.
"You bet. Just let me leave a note for my pops."
And so he did so and was out the door with his new friends.
End Flashback
Ranma just gave a sad sigh.
"Cookies were so much more trust worthy back then."
End of first chapter but are lots more to come. Please review.
