Where the Wild Students Are
fanfic by Kathryn Grover

Disclaimer: You've heard this all before. Niether Daria nor
Ranma is mine, and if they were, you don't think I'd be
working at an amusement park this summer, do you? Hmmm. Need food.
Uh, *snicker* all characters from other forms of media do not belong to
me, and are used for parody purposes only. :)
***
Notes: I know I haven't worked on this for awhile, but I've
been reading more fanfic than contributing. I'm also using the
Tomb Raider level editor to create a sort of "Living Fanfic"
that will allow Lara to journey to Jusenkyo! Stay tuned.
Those of you who don't know who Saffron is, or what the Umisenken is, put
those stupid anime tapes down and START READING THE COMIC BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!
This little episode here has no real plot. It's just the arrival of Ryoga,
Ranma's curse discovered, etc.
Oh, and I sincerely apologize for the beginning of this episode. I realize
that some of you will be in a state of shock. I also realize that some
will want to kill me. (Not like you could! I'd kick your head off. :) )
But I realize most of all that SOMEBODY out there will get a laugh out of
this, simply from imagining such a scene. And now, please enjoy my newest
installment of the fanfic with more one-liners than an episode of MST3K,
"Where the Wild Students Are!"

Chapter Three
Where are you going? Where have you been? What the heck were you doing
there?
***
Jane: Again?
Daria: Correct. Upchuck once again caught our little exchange
student off guard after he'd been hit by a sprinkler during
gym class.
Jane: I really think you need to bring a camera to that class.
So, what was it this time? Dismemberment? Public Humiliation?
Iron Maiden?
Daria: Nah, he didn't get the chance this time. The other
students, or at least the male ones were crowding around
asking for a demonstration of Ranma's shape-shifting ability.
Jane: In other words, everybody in school now knows about Ranma,
*except* for Upchuck?
Daria: Correct. He's just too stupid to figure it out. Either
that or he has a thing for hermaphrodites.
Jane: Which will make him even less desireable around the school
population. What about Ranma getting found out though? Sheesh, it
took our fellow classmates only a month to figure it out. How's he
taking it?
Daria: Judging by his reaction to my easily amused classmates,
he's probably hiding somewhere.
Jane: By the way, how'd your parents take it?
Daria: Well, let's just say that my easily amused Dad scared him into the
closet for about three hours, until Mom subdued him. Then our little
exchange student just kinda dissappeared for awhile.
Jane: This could be the basis of a new TV game show........
Daria: A game show version of "Where's Waldo?" perhaps?
Jane: Uh, Daria?
Daria decided she did not like the look on Jane's face.
Daria: Why are you looking at me like that?
Jane: I really wish you hadn't said that line about "Where's Waldo?".
Daria: And why's that?
Jane: Look behind you.
Daria turned to see, a figure approaching, wearing jeans, loafers, a red
striped shirt and matching hat, and a pair of aviator's sunglasses. Some
students stared for a bit, others laughed, but hey, this was Lawndale
after all. So many wierd things had happened so far, that seeing Waldo
appear in a crowd wasn't very unlikely. So attention was turned back to
whatever the students had been doing beforehand.
"Waldo" sat at the table.
"Waldo": Is the coast clear?
Jane groaned. Daria slapped her forehead.
Daria: Alright, Ranma, ditch the hat and sunglasses before we have to hurt
you.
***
Somewhere in Southern California:
***
Two men sat at a campsite, drinking tea. They had crossed paths on a
mountain hike, and had decided to sit and talk about their travels.
Ryoga: Yeah, it's this little problem I have. I'm always getting lost.
Waldo: Really? Me too! Only somehow, people always seem to find me........
***
That night, back in Lawndale in the living room of the house where Daria
resides................
Ranma: You sure this will work?
Daria: Trust me. They'll never recognize you. You can resume your original
fashion statement when the excitement dies down.
Jane then entered the room with a few bags.
Jane: Alright, I borrowed some of my brother's normal-looking clothes. You
know? The ones he never wears? He even says Ranma can keep them.
Jane took a second look.
Daria: Alright, just set them on the bed.
Ranma: What are you two doing?
Daria: Relax.
She fastened another rubber band.
Daria: Alright, done.
Jane: Alright, Ranma, could you put this shirt on, then go ahead and look
in the mirror.
Ranma was afraid to look, but did. His hair was in cornrows. Hardly the
hairdo he expected. The navy-colored shirt and bluejeans made him look
like........like...........like somebody who wasn't him. This would take
some getting used to..... The jeans were held up by a braided belt, so
that he would have more room for adjustment if the curse was triggered.
This would take some getting used to.
***
Ryoga stumbled through the tunnel, wondering where he was, and, as
usual, blaming Ranma for his location, wherever that was.
Holding up his map (sideways, of course) he finally decided that he had
taken the wrong turn at Albuquerque. He was proven right after he found
that he'd dug himself right into the aquifer under the city.
There was a loud rumble as a tower of water shot up into the sky, and
P-Chan was propelled to who-knows-where.
***
The next day....
***
Ranma: Are you SURE this is going to work?
Jane: Trust us. By radically changing your appearance, we make you
completely invisible to every idiot at school.
Daria: And you'll be avoided by the fashion club.
Ranma shivered at the thought of the fashion club. The second they heard
about his curse, they chased him down and tried to teach him about female
fashion. Even Sandi knew.......... Ugh.
Jane: Hey, did they ever give up on that personality type thing?
Daria: Luckily, for the sake of my sanity, they have. Well, look. There's
Kevin. Time to test out your new identity.
Kevin walked up, looking as oblivious as ever.
Kevin: Hey Daria, have you seen that exchange student kid?? We wanna make
him our Mascot.
Daria: I think I saw him running in the direction of the science lab.
Kevin: Cool, thanks!
Ranma stared.
Ranma: Was that for real?
Jane: Hey, we tried to tell you. Our school is full of idiots. Now let's
get to class.
***
La la la la la!
***
As the game cube lifted above the city, two figures emerged.
Andraia: Well, then. Wonder where we landed this time?
Matrix: No idea.
Another figure stumbled through an alleyway, growling in frustration.
Ryoga: WHERE THE *beep* AM I NOW?!?!?!?!?!
Andraia: Gee, ya think he's lost?
Matrix: I guess you could say that. Nice haircut though......
***
Lunchtime: The height of the day for many a high school student in our
world.
Sandi had been watching Ranma as he ate with Daria and Jane, though she
didn't realize it was Ranma at the time.
She secretly wondered why so many boys were starting to hang around
Quinn's Cousin and Jane now. What secrets did they have? What exactly did guys
like about them?
Hmm, where did the exchange student go?
As possible as it was for Sandi to think, she began to ponder.
***
Ryoga spends a lot of his spare time digging.
Of course, how else does one as lost as he travel? Especially when he
knows so many special techniques of the construction industry? Put simply,
he is the champion of diggers.
The only problem is, he had no idea which way he was digging.
In frustration, he screamed and pointed upward.
***
Ranma: Do you two hear a rumbling sound?
Jane: Do you smell fish?
Daria: Oh, Ranma got a package of snack food sent to him by his fiance
yesterday.
Ranma: Squid Jerky! Want some?
Jane: Um, no thanks.
Daria: With the stories you've told, I'm surprised you'd accept food from
her.
Ranma: Customs wouldn't allow any of her "home cooking" to be sent here.
Jane: Huh. I guess our government's good for *something*.
Daria: Do you hear a rumbling sound?
The whole cafeteria begins to shake. Screams of "EARTHQUAKE!" are heard
as students cower under the lunch tables. A nice "Kaboom" is heard as a
hole appears in the floor. And who should climb out but........
Ranma: Ryoga!
Ryoga looks up.
Ryoga: (Who said that?)
Ranma: (It's me, Ryoga. It's Ranma.)
Ryoga: (Ranma? What are you doing in Limbo? And what happened to your
hair?)
Ranma: (Limbo? You really HAVE seen Hell, haven't you? You're in the
United States, moron! Speak English!)
Ryoga: You mean like this?
Ranma: Yes!
Ryoga: So, Ranma, tell me. If this is the United States, what the heck are
you doing here?
Daria and Jane are busy elsewhere surveying the situation. The students,
for the most part, are still hiding under the tables. Probably waiting for
aftershocks. Ranma leads Ryoga over toward the table, just as the Janitor
runs into the cafeteria, and screams in agony upon seeing the hole.
Ranma: Daria, Jane, this is Ryoga. He's the only person I know who really
could get lost in a paper bag.
Ryoga responds by bapping Ranma on the head. He then turns to Daria and
Jane.
Ryoga: Um, hi.
Ranma: Ryoga has absolutely no sense of direction, so we never know where
he'll end up. Somehow, he always manages to find me though.
Daria: Would this have anything to do with the Waldo costume yesterday?
Ryoga: Who's Waldo?
Jane: Say, mind telling me how you made that hole in the floor? Looks
pretty interesting.
Ryoga: Oh, that? Just a little trick I do. Wanna see me do it again?
Jane: Actually, I would.
Ryoga pokes the ground with his finger, and a small crater forms as he
uses his breaking point technique. The janitor faints.
An announcement is made over the PA: May I have your attention please?
Several pipes in the boiler room have bursted, and some wierd new tunnels
have appeared near the basement. We are closing the school for repairs.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
Jane: Cool. That could come in handy.
Ranma: Come on, Ryoga. I'll buy you a pizza and tell you what's been going
on.
Ranma practically drags Ryoga out the door.
Jane: Hmmm. I like that guy.
Daria: You seem to like the foriegn types.
Jane: What are you talking about? I just want his help with my new
sculpture! He's like human dynamite!
***
Ryoga: So you got sent on an exchange program, your host family includes
two girls, one acts like kuno, the other has no love interest in you
whatsoever?
Ranma: That pretty much says it. In fact I hang around with her boyfriend
alot. He's a cool guy.
Ryoga: You still haven't told me about your new hairdo.
Ranma: Ugh, those crazy girls insisted on doing it. The people at school
found out about the curse, and they said it'd hide me from the stupider
people in the school.
Ryoga: Does it work?
Ranma: To an extent. Anybody with half a brain has been teasing me all
day. Same stuff I went through at Furinken, without the idiots asking me
to be some kind of mascot, or pouring water on me every chance they get.
Ryoga notices that Ranma's hanging his head a bit at this point.
Ryoga: Well, at least there's no Kuno, right? And you haven't been swamped
with date requests, right?
Ranma: Daria's sister left me alone after she found I was engaged. It's
mostly quiet, with one exception.
Ryoga: And that is?
Ranma: Allow me to demonstrate.
Ranma takes a water glass and dumps it over his head. Suddenly, out of
nowhere, Upchuck appears.
Upchuck: Rrrrrrrroowww! My firey haired beauty, how about a date?
*POW*
Ranma: See what I mean?
***
Later that night
***
Jane is outside her house, pondering. In her back yard is a very large
boulder, about two stories tall. 50 dollars to the person who guesses where it
came from and how she got it so quickly. In her hand is a calculus book,
in the other, a calculator.
Jane: Let's see, would a highly explosive blast look better on this side
or this side?
Occasionally, she marks a point on the rock.
***
Sandi was still sitting at that lunch table, pondering.
***
Quinn was deciding which shade of lipstick she should wear tomorrow.
***
Saffron was somewhere in China, arranging all his Hotwheels cars on the
floor where Kiima was sure to walk on them.
While he was occupied, Pinky and the Brain were attempting to steal the
Kinjakan which would enable them to dehydrate UN leaders and therefore
take over the world.
Their plans ended quickly when Saffron stepped on them while obtaining the
Kinjakan to heat up his little toy cars to give an extra kick to his
practical joke.
***
Daria was doing homework in front of the TV.
TV announcer: Crazy meglomaniac evolutions of the human race living on
mountaintops, hidden from the rest of the world? They're anything but
angelic! Tribes of psychotic bird people, tonight on Sick Sad World.
Daria: Now that show is really starting to go overboard.
***
Akane woke up that morning, and sat at her desk to check her e-mail.
Akane really liked her new computer, which she had bought using money from
a summer job. Now she'd never have to use Nabiki's again.
She was still a little jealous (not to mention mad) at Ranma. He'd worked
as a waitress (yes waitress) over the summer at Ucchan's. It wasn't Ukyo
that had made her mad, this time. It was the huge amount of tips he had
gotten!
From the tips, he bought a laptop, with all the bells and whistles. She'd
never thought of Ranma to be the computer type.................
Akane laughed at herself. Of all the things she could be jealous of Ranma
for, it had to be his computer.
Computer: User is online!
Akane sighed as "Horsie" appeared at the top of her ICQ list.
Computer: UH OH!
Akane sighed in half-amusement and shook her head while cliking the
message.
Ranma: You'll never guess who showed up today.
Akane: Kuno? It wouldn't surprise me.
Ranma: Don't say that. You'll jinx it. I don't need HIM here, because
there's this dork who's just like him. :P
Akane: Okay then, who?
Ranma: Ryoga. He dug right in through the school lunchroom floor. :)
Akane: LOL. Let me guess, lost again?
Ranma: No kidding, he thought he was in Limbo!
Akane: Now, you're not being mean to him, are you?
Ranma: Nah, bought him a pizza. We just talked about stuff.
Akane: Is he still there?
Ramma: Nope. Turned my back to pay for the pizza and he was gone.
He's probably on the moon or something looking for a bathroom.
Akane: *sigh* Anything else going on?
Ranma: The people at school figured out my curse after only two days.
Ugh.
Akane: Ouch. How?
Ranma: I don't know. Either the people here are smarter, or they just
have more sprinklers.
Akane: Probably the sprinklers.
Ranma: Well, I'm turning in. Goodnight.
Akane: Goodnight?
Ranma: Time zone difference, Akane.
Akane: Right then. Good morning. :)
"Horsie" was soon back in the offline list. Akane went back to checking
e-mail.
***
Ranma closed the laptop, ready to go to bed, but remembered that Quinn was
playing loud "created band" music again last night. Something had to be
done.
Opening the window, he slipped out.
***
Quinn didn't know what the Umisenken was. All she knew was when she went
to turn on her sterio, the power cord was gone.
***
Daria found the power cord under her pillow with a note:
"Keep this thing FAR away from your sister!"
***
Thus endeth another day! Goodnight Lawndale!
La la la la la!
***
I know I know. I got a LITTLE silly this time. :) I really should sleep
more, eh?

From the tips, he bought a laptop, with all the bells and whistles. She'd
never thought of Ranma to be the computer type.................
Akane laughed at herself. Of all the things she could be jealous of Ranma
for, it had to be his computer.
Computer: User is online!
Akane sighed as "Horsie" appeared at the top of her ICQ list.
Computer: UH OH!
Akane sighed in half-amusement and shook her head while cliking the
message.
Ranma: You'll never guess who showed up today.
Akane: Kuno? It wouldn't surprise me.
Ranma: Don't say that. You'll jinx it. I don't need HIM here, because
there's this dork who's just like him. :P
Akane: Okay then, who?
Ranma: Ryoga. He dug right in through the school lunchroom floor. :)
Akane: LOL. Let me guess, lost again?
Ranma: No kidding, he thought he was in Limbo!
Akane: Now, you're not being mean to him, are you?
Ranma: Nah, bought him a pizza. We just talked about stuff.
Akane: Is he still there?
Ramma: Nope. Turned my back to pay for the pizza and he was gone.
He's probably on the moon or something looking for a bathroom.
Akane: *sigh* Anything else going on?
Ranma: The people at school figured out my curse after only two days.
Ugh.
Akane: Ouch. How?
Ranma: I don't know. Either the people here are smarter, or they just
have more sprinklers.
Akane: Probably the sprinklers.
Ranma: Well, I'm turning in. Goodnight.
Akane: Goodnight?
Ranma: Time zone difference, Akane.
Akane: Right then. Good morning. :)
"Horsie" was soon back in the offline list. Akane went back to checking
e-mail.
***
Ranma closed the laptop, ready to go to bed, but remembered that Quinn was
playing loud "created band" music again last night. Something had to be
done.
Opening the window, he slipped out.
***
Quinn didn't know what the Umisenken was. All she knew was when she went
to turn on her sterio, the power cord was gone.
***
Daria found the power cord under her pillow with a note:
"Keep this thing FAR away from your sister!"
***
Thus endeth another day! Goodnight Lawndale!
La la la la la!

I know I know. I got a LITTLE silly this time. :) I really should sleep
more, eh?
