Ranma had fully healed from spending half the school day in a hospital bed trying to heal his wounds using his chi. Ranma, melody and rose were heading back home Ariel had told them she had some good news for them via psychic message.

Home…

The three of them walked through the door and found Ariel and Eric packing suit cases "so what's you doing we going somewhere?" Ranma asked when he saw a tall pile of cases.

"we're going home Ranma we tried staying here a while to find out more about genma and Nodoka but that has come to no avail and you seem to still be taking the worst f this place so we are leaving and I'm sure you'll love where your going" replied Ariel as she closed the last case and took them out back and put them into a car which then left to take the cases to the airport to be flown to Ariel and Eric's kingdom.

"about time I didn't think I'd remain sane if I stayed here any longer" melody said with a huge smile on her face, Ranma then grew a smile he'd been waiting to leave this hell for far too long.

The family then dived into the river behind the house and became mermaids and Eric became a merman (a gift from the sea king).

"I'm still trying to get used to that" Rosetta said when she saw Ranma's curse activate, they then proceeded to swim down stream, heading for the ocean (they had sold the house by the way they just had to be out that day, sold a day or so ago) Ranma could only give a shy smile to rose's comment, she couldn't wait to see her new home and be finally free of that hell, although he did have an inkling that his hell was about to get worse as hell has a funny way of finding you even when you leave after all he finds it no matter where in the world he is.

A/N I know short chapter and I know some of my readers won't be so disappointed about that. I am giving you all a chance to choose where the story shall go, what will happen when Ranma arrives at his new home, I will not change his name so don't bother suggesting it.
