Note: I'm not going to write Ranma's incorrect grammar into this story. Maybe a diff. story, but my own grammar skills have been degrading from constant reading of bad grammar. Sorry.
Btw: If you hate OOC, I suggest you don't read this story.

Ranma sighed as he walked on a fence travelling toward Furinkan High. His life had fallen into a repeating series of events. He could practically write out a schedule of every time Ryouga would show up in the next month. *Ugh... I need something new. Let's see... hmm? Oh, as usual, it's Kuno... And there he goes.* Ranma continued his walk into Furinkan High, as he contemplated what he could do. He had done everything he could think of but study. A sigh escaped his lips as he slumped onto his desk in preparation for a short nap. He /could/ try to bring his grades up, but what was the fun in that? Ranma thought back to something Tofu had said in idle conversation a few days ago. 'Ranma, if you really want to learn something new, why not try the library. I learned some of /my/ medical skills there, after all.' As he thought of visiting the library as Tofu had suggested, Ranma kept running into the same obstacle. Nabiki. Her lackeys were everywhere. She probably had a lackey in the ice cream store he went to all the time. *That's it! I've never thought of it before, so Nabiki wouldn't expect it! I'll go to a different town's library! Only problem is I'd have to go as a girl or Nabiki's /customers/ would see me entering and exiting the train. Hair die would help here, and, man, I'd never thought Nabiki's recordings of my battles would get /that/ much publicity. At least she's kept her information about my girl-form quiet.* Ranma continued to ponder the choices available to him, before deciding that getting away from the mess that was his life, would probably be a good thing.

Akane stared at Ranma as he ran home as soon as the bell rang. She followed slowly, wondering what he was planning on doing. *He's probably going to go and visit one of his /other/ fiancees! That JERK!* With that thought, Akane raced home to beat Ranma into a pulp with her trusty mallet.
~~~~~~~~~~
Ranma quietly sneaked out his window (Authors note: Yes, sneaked is grammatically correct. Snuck isn't even a word. Or it wasn't until recently.) and slipped into the Umi-Sen-Ken. He sprinted to a hair store a district away (for insured privacy), and bought his black hair dye, which he put on in a nearby public bathroom. As he had hoped, his girl-forms hair stayed black from the dye, while his male-form's hair appeared unaffected. Grimacing slightly, Ranma splashed himself with cold water while under the Umi-Sen-Ken's cloak, and stepped outside to do what she had be dreading the whole trip. *Ranma Saotome doesn't back down from a challenge.* She assured herself, as she walked up to a female clothing store.
Half-an-hour later found Ranma-chan dressed in female clothes with the undergarments that had been in the package she'd bought. Why? It was simple really. A saleswoman with scissors had slipped on something-she still didn't know what-and had cut all her clothes to pieces as the scissors shot through the door and slashed straight through her boxers. She hadn't been expecting the Jusenkyou curse to take full advantage of the fact that she had been trying on female clothes and force her to stay female. *Oh well. I might as well test out my idea now. I hope no-one in this district knows my female form...* Ranma-chan went into the library and set to studying for school for the first time in her life. As she studied, she noticed glasses on many of the students around her, and wondered if there was some club in the library. Deciding to go with the flow, Ranma-chan bought a pair of glasses and put them on. She managed to actually study for four hours, before she realized that her father and the Tendos were going to be running all over town to try and find her.
Ranma-chan giggled for a moment before catching herself and blinking rapidly. /That/ was not a wanted side-effect of being calm in his girl-form. Ranma-chan sighed as she slipped off the train, unable to roof-hop in a skirt without flashing every passerby beneath her. She walked passed Furinkan and literally crashed into Nabiki. *Oh shit! My project is over already! And I barely started it!*
Ranma-chan felt like sobbing until Nabiki said, "Watch where you're going when you walk." She stared at Nabiki's back as Nabiki flipped open a cell-phone and said, "Have you seen him yet?" Not wanting to push her luck, Ranma-chan ran back to the Tendo Dojo and stuffed her clothing into a well-locked trunk and changing back into normal clothes. He walked to the bathroom and quickly rinsed the die from his hair, before walking down the stairs and into the living room, where everyone but Nabiki was waiting.
"You were with one of your /other/ fiancees again, WEREN'T YOU?!?"
"Son! How could you betray Akane like that!"
"Waaaaah! My future-son-in-law was off seducing another girl! Waaaaaaaah!!"
"See!?!? I /told/ you that you were a pervert. JERK!"
-WHAM!-
The house reverberated from the blow to Ranma's head.
"Oh my. Weren't you a little harsh on Ranma-kun, Akane?"
"Humph, he deserved it. The two-timing jerk."
"Oh my."
~~~~~~~~~~
Nabiki blinked as she realized just who the black-haired girl resembled. She flipped open her cell-phone and relayed a message to all her lackeys. "Subject found. Give yourselves a break." She and Ranma were going to have a /long/ talk about what she had seen.
To be continued.

I wrote this in 30 minutes or so, so don't be surprised if characters are /way/ out of character. I'm sorry. Also, please let me know if this story is even worth continuing. It's the first one I'm posting on FF.net. Oh well. C&C or R&R, take your pick! ^_^
