AN1: I am obviously NOT following the Canon Sailor Moon Time Line. In fact, I'll say what has become my standard motto when I write one of my heavy AU rewrites, and that is ''Canon'? What is this 'Canon' you speak of? I know not of this 'Canon'!'

Really, this is going to be a sorta far out AU, so,… don't expect the canon Sailor Moon Story Line, I'm changing a hell of a lot of it. I LIKE heavy AU's, and that's what I mostly write. So, sorry if you canon cops don't like that, but I'm warning you now so you can just skip this if need be.

Ok, now that that's out of the way, we can move on to more important things, like the dang fool story. YAY!!!

AN2: I really don't know much on how Japanese Jr. high school's, high schools, college's and universities are set up, so I'm using their American equivalents where needed.

AN3: As to some of the content in the first scene, I'll admit it. I unleashed my inner fanboy on so many different levels. But it's all good, right?

AN4: I am still sick, and to top it off, my new doctor can't get my old records for some of the tests he wants to put me through that I've already gone through so he can do a comparison between the two results from my old doctors. Thus stalling all my tests and pissing me and him off. I just want to get better damn it!

Disclaimer Part 2: If you even think I own the Capcom Corporation, and all the sub branches of it, and thus have all those trillions of dollars available to me, then you, my dear sir, are an idiot.

TIME AND TIME AGAIN

CHAPTER TWO

REMEMBERING THE PAST AND PLANING FOR THE FUTURE

Juban Jr. High's girl's gym: Ranma's new office: five minutes past seven in the morning

Ranma was just starting to set up her office when the phone rang. "Hello Ranma." A sultry sounding female voice said.

Ranma repressed a shiver and said "Hi Nabs."

"You do realize that you are the only one who can call me that without severe retribution, right?" Nabiki asked in a slightly amused tone of voice.

"Yeah. That's why I do it so often." Ranma admitted, thinking back on the past. Being a year ahead of her, Nabiki was already a year into collage when Ranma started. They were both going to Tokyo University, where Nabiki was studying business. She was now in her second year of Graduate school in the hopes of getting her masters. She had also remarkably gotten an internship with Capcom. An amusing story there too. Nabiki had never played video games before, especially not the fighting games which Capcom was very famous for. She is currently on the marketing team for their newest fighting game, for they are making a new fighting game franchise, and when she first saw some of the game's concept demo, she had said something. Something sorta stupid. Just what she had said she can't remember to this day, but it was something along the lines of 'Ranma could do that so much better.'

A designer had overheard her and asked harshly what she meant. So she quickly explained that she knew a guy who could do Ki blasts. After much disbelief, another designer asked 'Ranma? You don't mean Ranma Saotome do you?' This guy had apparently heard of him somehow. And he kinda of believed her. It turns out he had a nephew that had went to Furinkan Koukou with Ranma or something like that.

So, to make a long story short, last year she approached her, for Ranma was in her female form at the time, and asked her if she'd like to make a little extra money by being a, realism, advisor for a fighting video game that Capcom was making. Ranma, in need of some extra cash, said 'Sure.'

And she was still advising them. After showing them that both she and he could manipulate Ki, they were ecstatic. In fact, they were so ecstatic that they were putting both of Ranma's form's likenesses into the game as playable characters. Ranma looked to make a good amount of yen off that.

Also in that time, Ranma had gotten to know Nabiki better, and now that she wasn't using him/her as her personal cash cow, well not in a negative way that is, they had started dating. They did keep this from their parents and family, well except Kasumi that is.

"So, how is your first day going?" Nabiki asked Ranma.

"Well I'm only now seven minutes into it, but it's been ok so far. I'm just dreading teaching these girls their self defense classes. I mean I can't make them take it seriously if they don't want to, and if they don't, well they could get,… hurt." Ranma said with a slow wince.

"Well, I'd suggest that you show off a bit a first Ranma. If they see what taking things and you seriously CAN lead to, you might get them to pay a bit more attention." Nabiki told Ranma.

"True." Ranma admitted with a slight chuckle. "I wonder what would happen if they saw me and Ryoga really go at it?" Ranma then asked with a bigger chuckle. Ranma had not only patched things up with the Lost Boy, who was now more like the Lost Man, but she had introduced him to the people at Capcom as well. He was also a 'realism' advisor and his likeness would be in that game as well. As an unlockable sub boss. Their rivalry had been taken into the digital realm, and it was surprisingly, or not, more or less the same. The Anything Goes and The Hibiki Style of Video Game Domination had been born. And everyone at Capcom that had witnessed this was afraid. Very, very afraid.

"Hmm, maybe you could show them that later. Either when you think they could use some inspiration, or when some of them need some ego downers." Nabiki smirked over the line.

"Hmm, good call." Rama said with a laugh. Ranma then looked up at the clock, saw it was seven ten and said "Well I've got a meeting with the principal in five minutes to show him the outline of just what I'll be teaching. Talk to you soon."

"Ok, I gotta get to work too. Got to make sure that this game is a huge success. Or you and Ryoga will kill me for the loss of seeing yourselves in the sequels." Nabiki said in a joking tone of voice.

"You got that right!" Ranma laughed and then she said "Well see you tonight."

"Yeah, see you then. Sorry I can't go out to dinner tonight though." Nabiki then said while sounding kinda sad.

"Ah, that's ok. We'll celebrate my new job a little later" Ranma told Nabiki cheerfully. In all truth, it was Nabiki who wanted to go out and celebrate Ranma's new job, not Ranma.

"Sure." Nabiki said. Then she said "Well, here comes the rest of the team and my boss, so bye Ranma." Nabiki said hanging up.

Ranma then hung up and snatched up her lesson plan and sped off to the principal's office to show him the plans.

Juban Jr. High: outside the principal's office: seven forty two in the morning

Ranma muttered darkly as she marched away from the principal, Mr. Nakio's, office "Gee, it's not like I want to teach them the Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken or the Bakusai Tenketsu or anything. And it's definitely not like I want to teach them the Neko-Ken! I just want some good old fashioned strength and endurance training! How dare he say we're not running a boot camp here! I know that! Stupid overprotective jerk! It's not like I'd let them get hurt! Well hopefully all the parents will just sign the permission slips so I can teach them this. Otherwise I'll be teaching two separate groups, and one will be MUCH better trained then the other. Stupid overprotective bosses." Ranma muttered as she walked into her office and slammed the door.

Juban Jr. High's girl's gym: outside the gym: during Ranma's first class

"Ok girls, LISTEN UP!" Ranma bellowed as she brought her class to order. "I am the new female gym teacher. My name is Miss. Saotome! My main curriculum for you will be a self defense course!" Now softening her voice, since she now had their undivided attention, she said "Unfortunately, my planned course needs parental approval, so here are permission slips to take it. If it is not signed, you will not be learning any self defense, and to get a grade from my class must join a sports team instead. It is your and your parent's choice of course on what you wish to do. To hopefully help you make such a choice, I will demonstrate for you the level I expect you to be at in one semester under me." Ranma stated. And then she proceeded to do so. Afterwards the permission slips seemed to just fly out of her hands as Ranma just stood there and smirked.

This scene repeated it's self over and over for all school day long.

Outside a jewelry store: on the roof across from it: at about ten thirty at night

Ranma Saotome, in her guise as Sailor Pluto, watched with white knuckled frustration as she observed the, confrontation, between her Princess Usagi, and the Daimon. It was over kinda of quickly, but yet…

"Princess, I have GOT to work on a LOT with you." Ranma, eh, err, Sailor Pluto I mean, said with a shake of her head. "That was just too close. Luna, you had better teach her better, or you and I will have some WORDS in a few weeks." Sailor Pluto said as she opened a portal and stepped through it, leaving the scene since her Princess was long gone.

She arrived and de-transformed at her apartment. Nabiki was already home, and having seen Ranma do this many times before, didn't even raise an eyebrow, unlike the first time she had seen it.

"So, how'd the kid do?" Nabiki asked as Ranma winced while going over towards his/her bedroom. While they did live together, they weren't quite at the point that they were sharing a room, yet. Nabiki thought it would only be a few more months for that to happen. Seeing the wince as Ranma disappeared into her bedroom she called out "That bad huh?"

He returned to the living room and said "Well, she didn't die." And then he sighed and sat down in an easy chair next to the one Nabiki was working in. "I have definitely got my work cut out for me in training her though." Ranma said with a shake of his head.

"Oh." Nabiki said with some sympathy. "Well, maybe this will cheer you up a bit." Nabiki said with a smirk.

"What?" Ranma asked curiously.

"The story team has finally decided on Ranma and Ranko Tsuwamono's backgrounds." Nabiki said with a smirk.

"Huh?" Ranma asked sounding confused.

"Honestly Ranma." Nabiki said with a sigh. "You do know that one of the reasons that Capcom's fighting games are so popular and they make so much money off not only them, but all the movies, Anime's, Manga's and other merchandising is because they give all their games a very detailed story line, right?" Nabiki patiently asked of Ranma.

"Yeah, I knew that. They explained that to me a long time ago." Ranma said sounding offended.

"Well, Ranma and Ranko Tsuwamono, the two characters that contain your likenesses, and for which you are being paid so they can use, story lines have just been finalized and approved. They thought you'd want to see them, so they asked me to give them to you." Nabiki said with a smirk.

"Oh, ok." Ranma then shook his head and said "Sorry, but it's been a long day Nabs. I can't teach anyone I don't get parental permission from. You helped me go over that plan to make sure it would be approved and that I didn't go overboard, and they still want the parents to say its ok to save their buts if a kid gets hurt." Ranma said shaking his head. "And then I had a long day of watching her. It was so hard not to come to her rescue." Ranma admitted. "Well can I see them?" Ranma then asked.

"Here." Nabiki said while handing over to folders.

Ranma looked at the two folders containing the background stories and concept art of the characters based on him and her, and after reading it said "Wow. I didn't think I'd have that prominent a role in the story of this game."

"Yeah, well since they based their moves off yours, they are pretty, how do they refer to it, ah yes, hi-tier characters, so they made your characters brother and sister and studying the rival school and the rivals of the two of the three main heroes." Nabiki said with a smirk. "You're not quite the 'Badguys' you're more along the lines of this game's, hmm, 'Anti-Heroes' characters." Nabiki said with a smirk.

Ranma looked at the documents one more time and said "I can live with this. So in the story Ranma and Ranko lose to the big bad boss, but weaken him enough for the hero's to kick the crap out of him. Eh, ok." Ranma said and then he did a double take and started laughing.

"What's so funny Ranma?" Nabiki asked.

"I just saw how Ryoga's character was reformed in this game." Ranma said with a snicker. "Ranko beats the ever loving snot out of him, and it love at first loss for him!" Ranma said with a chuckle.

Nabiki started laughing and said "I don't think he's going to be too pleased with that!"

After a little more chuckling between the two of them, Ranma stood up and asked Nabiki "You have dinner yet?"

"Uh, no." Nabiki said sounding kind of embarrassed.

"Well, I'll make enough for the both of us then." Ranma told her and he went into the kitchen.

EAN: I'll admit it, at first, I just threw in Capcom as a lark to have somewhere that Nabiki was interning. But it grew a life of its own, and now is a part of the story. It will pop up here and there in the fic some more. But I doubt it will ever be as, prominent, as it was in this chapter again. Or very rarely that is.
