Hmmmm... this is my first fic of this style. It is quite an new thing to me. Here's an example of how dis thingy works.

Ranma: Akane, you're such a tomboy.
Akane: *whacks Ranma on head with mallet*
Nabaki: *shakes head* that'll leave a mark.
[[ the wind blows through the trees ]]

Character's name: speech *action* thought emphasized words

[[ general things ]]

Get it? Got it? Good.

Oh yeah, I refer to myself as Dragyn.

Disclaimer: I usually don't do disclaimers because I think everyone knows that I am not Rumiko Takahashi, and if I was, I wouldn't be writing stupid fan fics, I'd be writing the real thing. So all you stupid peoples who want to sue me.... go suck a lollipop. :P Oh and All respects to peoples ideas that I used. I have read WAY too many fic/books/short stories and I can't remember what I got from where. So if I used your stuff, Sorry!

On with the story type thing!

The Search for Hot Water
Part One

[[ At the Tendo dojo, in the backyard, Ranma trains. ]]

Dragyn: It was a peaceful day at the Tendo household...

Ranma: *looks around* Who said that?

Dragyn: I did. Now be quiet.

Ranma: Who are you?

Dragyn: I'm Dragyn. I am the author. I told you to be quiet. I am trying to set the scene.

Ranma: Wha?

Dragyn: Just be quiet. Ahem

Dragyn: It was a peaceful day at the Tendo household... just as any other. ...

[[ Akane walks out ]]

Akane: Huh? Who's talking?

Dragyn: *appears beside Akane* I am! Now shut up.

Akane: Sheash.

Dragyn: It was a peaceful day at the Tendo household... just as any other. ... But little do our heroes know... they are about to face the greatest danger that they have every faced in their lives!

Ranma: We know now.

Dragyn: I'm trying to set the scene. Would you be quiet for a minute!

Ranma: It that what you call it? I thought you were trying to bore us to death

Akane: (sees Dragyn staring at Ranma angrily) Ranma, would you just shut up and listen?

Dragyn: Yeah, listen or else!

Ranma: Ooh, I'm so scared. What are you going to do, turn me into a rat?

[[ Ranma turns into a rat ]]

Akane: Hey! How'd you do that?

Dragyn: I'm the author. I can do what ever I want.

Ranma: Squeak!

Dragyn: Well anywhoodle...

Akane: Anywhoodle...?

Dragyn: ... Be quiet. Where was I? Oh yes greatest danger. Our heroes are about to face the greatest danger in their lives!

Akane: Well...?

Dragyn: Well what?

Akane: The greatest danger...

Dragyn: What about the greatest danger?

Akane: *fuming* What is it?

Dragyn: Um...... lemme think...

Akane: So you mean to tell me that you haven't figured it out yet?

Dragyn: ... not exactly... no...

[[ long pause]]

Ranma: Squeak!

Dragyn: Well I'm working on it! I'm a busy woman ya know!

Akane: What else have you been doing...?

Dragyn: Well, I'm kinda busy in my other fan fiction...

Akane: Like how...?

Dragyn: Well currently, Kodachi is kidnapping you...

Akane: What?! *swings giant mallet*

Dragyn: Whoa girl...

[[ the mallet turns into P-chan ]]

Akane: *looks at the pig* P-chan? Where did you come from?

P-chan: Kwee...?

Akane: *looks at Dragyn*

Dragyn: I'm the author, remember? I can do anything I want to.

Ranma: Squeak!

Akane: So what are we supposed to do now?

Dragyn: Maybe you should... continue on as nothing happened. I have to go plot now...

Akane: Uh.... *points at the rat*

Dragyn: Oh yeah... heh heh

[[ Ranma turns back into himself ]]

Ranma: Who do you think you are?

Dragyn: Um... uh....

Ranma: *cracks knuckles*

Dragyn: Aiyaa! I gotta run... I think I left the stove on... yeah. Bye.

[[ Dragyn vanishes ]]

Ranma: Feh, coward.

[[ a cat appears on Ranma's head ]]

Ranma: Yaaaaaaaah! *runs around in circles*

Dragyn: Who's the coward now? Ha ha ha!

Ranma: Yaaaaaaaaah!

Akane: *sighs and goes back into the house*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

[[ Later, around the dinner table ]]

Kasumi: (Merrily) So how was everyone's day?

Ranma: *groans rubbing a cat scratch on his face * Jus' great.

Akane: Ranma was chased by a cat.

Nabaki: Again?

Kasumi: Akane, why didn't you help him?

Akane: It's not my fault that he's a wimp.

Ranma: What do you call me?

Akane: A wimp. *sips her water*

Ranma: Tomboy!

Akane: Pervert!

Ranma: Macho chick!

Akane: Grrrr... *throws water on him*

Ranko: Hey!

Akane: Cross dresser!

Ranko: You are so.... uncute!

Akane: Hmph! *storms upstairs*

Genma: (as panda) * holds up sign and ramen bowl * { More please! }

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

[[ later, in the bathroom ]]

Ranko: *turns on the hot water faucet but nothing comes out *

Ranko: Huh? Where's all the hot water?

Dragyn: Ha ha!

Ranko: *looks up* You again!?

Dragyn: Yup.

Ranko: What do you want now?
Dragyn: *hums* Nothing...

[[ Akane comes in ]]

Akane: Who are you talking to?

Dragyn: *appears* Hello Akane!

Akane: You!

Dragyn: Yes, me. Just talking to your little girlfriend here.

Akane: *turns to Ranko* Why are you still a girl, Ranma?

Dragyn: Yeah, Ranma, why?

Ranko: Shut up, will ya? I tried to change back, but there is no hot water...

Akane: Weird.

Ranko: Hey, Dragyn. Can't you make some hot water appear?

Dragyn: Sorry, can't do that.

Akane: You're the author aren't you? You can do whatever you want.

Dragyn: True, but see the title?

Ranko: Yeah...

Dragyn: The Search for Hot Water

Ranko: Your point being...?

Dragyn: My point is, if I gave him hot water, there wouldn't be much of a search, now would there?

Ranko: Why you dirty...

Dragyn: Besides, I don't like Ranma that much anyway.

Akane: Yeah, you like the minor characters.

Ranko: Like Kuno.

Akane: And Kodachi,

Ranko: And Mousse.

Dragyn: Leave me alone! *disappears*

Akane: I guess we have to find some hot water on our own.

Ranko: Yeah, let's go.
Dragyn: You can't go yet.

Akane: Why not?

Dragyn: Because I haven't finished writing this story yet. You'll have to wait until the next chapter.

Ranko: Grrrr....
