Within a cheap motel room, Toph Bei Fong laid the bed where she yet to regain consciousness. She had been changed out her wet clothes and into a spare karate gi that black hair boy that saved her life own.

Though the incident in the swamp had been a few days ago she remain unconsciousness thus only daughter of the Bei Fong family thus she had no idea that she was no longer in the Earth Kingdom or even in the same time period that she had been just the other day. As somehow she had traveled through time and ended up in the future. Now she was stranger in strange world with a power that had been long since forgotten by all but the very few amount of people in the world and even those people capabilities as benders were not even half of that of master bender like Toph.

"Here you are, boy. What are you doing still watching this girl? You been neglecting your training ever seen you saved her" his father told him

"I get the feeling I know this girl and that she very important to me as just looking at her seem to fill me with familiar feeling. Even in the strange swamp where she was wearing fancy clothes and running away from me, this feeling that I know her has always been the same" his son told him.

'Great where could he have met another girl and actually become friend with them? I have always been careful that he does not make female friends as that okonomiyaki guy's daughter got too close to him before I managed to dump her. Though it was not all bad as that cart sure did sell for a lot more once I milked it for all the okonomiyaki I could make' the boy's father thought as the ate good for almost two weeks with that cart.

'No matter where they met I just lose her so she can not follow us as Ranma must marry a Tendo to unite the schools of Anything Goes' Genma Saotome, the father of Ranma Saotome, thought as he walked away.

Back with Ranma Saotome….

The young martial artist was still stared at the girl lying unconscious on the bed before him. He was really racking his brain to figure out where he had met her before as his only other person that gave him this feeling was his friend was Ucchan, who he regretted leave but was grateful she gave them her dad okonomiyaki cart as going away present (this being lie Genma fed him when he asked why they taking her dad's cart).

Though this girl was different and rather strange at too as at first she was wearing fancy dress then she was suddenly dressed in more casual clothing about to drown and although he could not tell fully because he in rush to rescue her but seem like something was wrong with her eyes.

As Ranma was caught in his own thought he did not notice Toph regain consciousness until she sat up yawned rather loudly.

The first thing Toph realized was that she was not on the anything that allow her seismic sense to allow her 'see' what surrounded her. So when felt a hand being place on her she reacted by grabbed it then pushing it away from her.

"Get off me I do not need your help!" Toph yelled as she tried looking in the direction in which she felt the hand come from yet ended missing Ranma's face so she was instead yelling at empty space.

"Are you okay?" Saotome boy asked as he was not over in that direction so why was she facing it.

"I am fine" Toph told him as now that she heard his voice she better tell where he was regardless of being off the ground.

"My face is up here your just looking at my neck" Ranma told as now that he got good look at her eyes he see what was wrong with them as they were pale light green and she did react when place his hand right in front of her face.

"Are you blind?" he asked curiously.

"No I am just wearing contacts that make look that way" Toph replied sarcastically.

"Okay" Ranma said in respond then asked "why have look at me directly yet then? First you looked at empty space and then at neck but not yet at my face"

Toph's mouth just hung open as this kid did not get that she was just being sarcastic a moment ago and continue sit there with her mouth open until she felt something.

"Could you stop that already!" the Bei Fong girl yelled with her eyes closed at the small wind generate from Ranma waving his hand back and forth in front of her face.

"You really are blind. Why did you lie to me then?" Ranma asked shocked.

"Its not my fault that you do not understand sarcasm" Toph said with deadpan expression on her face.

"Okay then what were you doing out there in that swamp earlier?" Ranma asked.

"What its to you?" she asked.

"Well I was just wonder what blind girl was doing wondering around on her own without any help in a swamp as if I had found you when I did you could have drown" the young marital artist told her

"Thanks for saving my life but I was doing just fine before that point" the blind earthbender said as pushing herself off the bed landing on the floor where she was finally able to get a good 'look' of her surroundings.

"Hey you what is this place as I do not recognize the area?" Toph inquired as walking over to the open window

'How did she do that' Ranma thought as he noticed how Toph made her way around all his father and his stuff to get to the window yet noticed she was having problem opening it.

"Were in some town about a few hours away from that strange swamp" Ranma told her as he opened window for her yet this caused Toph to glare at him.

"I did not need your help I was doing just fine you know" Toph told Ranma.

"Well you are blind and a girl so I thought I would help you" he replied not realizing the mistake he had just made.

"Look here, I do not want your pity. I could have done it myself" the Bei Fong girl angrily respond.

However it was at this moment that Ranma's ability to put his foot in his mouth otherwise to pretty much say thinking without exactly thinking about them first pop up.

"But you are blind as well as girl and it's a marital artist duty to help those weaker then themselves" he told as his heart was in the right place but the way he said came out all wrong.

"Look here whoever you are! I am grateful you saved my life but do not ever call me weak as I beat guys twice your size without so much as breaking a sweat. If you really think I am so weak then let go outside so you can beaten by me" Toph yelled.

Taking that as challenge and never one to back down from a challenge, Ranma accepted.

"Hey Ranma, my boy we….huh" Genma said shocked as he shoved out the way by Toph who when passing by hit the ground in such way that caused the floor underneath Genma's foot( which were stone tiles) to slide to the left.

'That girl how she move me so easily but how' Genma thought yet then looked down to see that the some of the tiles under his feet were out of place.
