Truths Revealed
Location: Tokyo, Japan
Open: In front of Furinkan High School, there is a crowd of students. In front of the students are Junko and Ukyo. They are about to start fighting. Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga are standing near each other. As usual, Nabiki is asking people for bets.
Nabiki: Who do you think will win, Junko or Ukyo? Place your bets here.
Nabiki's friends are helping her take bets.
Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga turn around and look at her.
Akane: Nabiki!
Nabiki: (Looks at them) There is no harm in taking some bets is there?
All three look at her with nasty looks.
Nabiki: Never mind. Bad question to ask. (Walks away toward her friends) So, how are the bets going?
Friend1: All the bets are on Ukyo.
Friend2: If Ukyo wins we will lose a lot of money.
Nabiki: Don't worry. We will let those two fight for awhile. If it looks like Ukyo will win, we will go in and help Junko. You understand?
Both together: Yes boss.
Nabiki: Good. Now let me see how much money we got. (Her friends hand her all the money they have collected and she starts to count it.) Hmm! This is a lot of money. I have a count of 10,000 yen. Not bad. Girls, lets get ready for this fight. Remember, Junko has to win.
Both together: Ok boss.
Nabiki: Good.
Nabiki waits for the fight to start.
Back to Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga.
Akane: (A little mad) I can't believe her. She always does these.
Ranma: Don't worry about her. All I'm worry about is Junko. I hope she wins.
Ryoga: She will. I've seen her fight. She is really good.
Ranma: I hope so.
Scene goes to Junko and Ukyo. They are in fighting poses.
Ukyo: (Talking to Junko) This is going to be easy. I can beat you real quick. Anyway, what is your name?
Junko: (Looking at Ukyo) Why do you want to know my name?
Ukyo: I just want to know.
Junko: Ok. It's Junko Saotome and yours?
Ukyo: (Surprised) Wait a minute. You are related to Ranma.
Junko: Yes, I'm his cousin.
Ukyo: Oh, so that is how you are related to him. My name is Ukyo Kuonji.
Junko: Ok, Ukyo. Are you ready to fight?
Ukyo: Yes I am.
Junko: Good. I'll be nice and let you start. I will just stand here and wait for you.
Ukyo: (A smile goes across her face) Ok, have it your way. Don't go complaining to someone about being hurt.
Ukyo gets out her biggest spatula and aims it at Junko. Then she starts to run at Junko. The spatula looks like it is going to hit Junko, but at the last minute Junko dodges it. Ukyo stops.
Ukyo: (Surprised) You're fast.
Junko: (With a smile on her face) Thank you.
Ukyo starts to slash at Junko with her spatula. Junko dodges. Then when Junko dodges one of Ukyo's swings, Ukyo quickly swings her spatula again and hits Junko. Junko falls back.
Ryoga: Junko! He runs up to where Junko is. Junko, are you alright?
Junko: (Getting up) Yea, I'm alright.
Ryoga: That's good. Junko, if you could duck under the spatula when Ukyo swings it at you, you can get a hold of it and stop her from hitting you.
Junko: That's a good idea, Ryoga. I go and do that.
Ukyo: (To Junko) Had enough?
Junko: No. Why don't you come at me again. (To Ryoga) You better go back over where Ranma is. I don't want you getting hurt.
Ryoga: Okay, Junko. I will. (He goes back over to where he was.)
Ukyo comes at Junko again. Ukyo swings her spatula at Junko. Junko ducks under the spatula and grabs it. Ukyo doesn't like this so she starts to tug on her spatula to get it out of Junko's grip. To Ukyo's surprise, Junko doesn't lose her grip on the spatula. Junko decides to tug on it too and a tug-of-war starts between the two.
Ukyo: Let go of my spatula.
Junko: Make me.
Ukyo starts to pull harder on the spatula. She looks up at Junko and sees a smile on her face.
Junko: (In her mind) Time to end this.
Junko starts to lift the spatula up. At first, she lifts it slowly. Then all of a sudden, she starts to lift it very fast. Ukyo didn't have time to react to this and she was in the air, still holding on to her spatula. Everyone is surprised. Junko is still holding the spatula also. Junko is holding up Ukyo in the air. Then faster than anyone could react Junko slams Ukyo in the ground.
Every Student: Whoa!
Ryoga: (Smiling) See, I told you so.
Ranma: Wow. How did she do that?
Ryoga: (Turns toward Ranma) Well, she has been training with me for years.
Ranma: (Surprised) What? (Turns toward Ryoga) Don't tell me. She is as strong as you are, right?
Ryoga: No, not really. She is about as strong as me. I will tell you more later.
Akane: She trained with you, Ryoga? Wow.
Ryoga: (Looks at Akane and smiles) Thank you. (Looks at Junko then at Ukyo) That will teach Ukyo a lesson.
The scene goes to Nabiki and her friends.
Nabiki: It looks like we don't have to worry about Ukyo winning. You two can just forget about plan A.
Both: Ok, boss.
They drop some metal pipes to the ground.
The scene goes to Junko
Junko: (Looking at Ukyo) That will teach you to call my friends names.
Ukyo doesn't move but groans. Junko turns toward the others and walks toward Ranma, Ryoga, and Akane.
Junko: So, where were we before we were rudely interrupted?
Junko looks at Ukyo.
Ranma: We were talking about you, Junko.
Junko: Oh, yeah. You were asking about my friendship with Ryoga. Well…
Before she could continue, Ukyo got up.
Ryoga: Junko, look out behind you!
Junko quickly turns around just in time to dodge Ukyo's spatula. She grabs the spatula again, but this time she tugs on it so hard that Ukyo loses her grip on it. The spatula in now in Junko's hands.
Ukyo: Give me back my spatula!
Junko: (Not listening to Ukyo and looking at the spatula in her hands) Nice spatula. It looks very strong. (A smirk comes up on her face) But you shouldn't be using it to hurt others.
Junko gets the spatula in both hands and holds it out. Then she starts to bend it. Everyone starts to hear a sound coming from the spatula. Then all of a sudden, the spatula bends.
Junko: That's better.
Ukyo: (Silence for awhile) Y-you bent my spatula.
Junko: (Looking a Ukyo) So I did.
Junko throws the spatula to Ukyo now.
Ukyo: (Now on the ground looking at her bent spatula) My spatula. I can't believe you bent it. (Ukyo gets up and is looking at the ground then she looks up at Junko.) She has an angry look on her face. Ok, so you bent my spatula. I can still kick your butt without it.
Junko: Ok, come at me.
Ukyo runs at Junko. When Ukyo is about to hit her, Junko moves out of the way and trips Ukyo. Ukyo hits the ground headfirst. Ukyo gets up quickly and throws some of the smaller spatulas at her. Junko dodges them.
Junko: So, you want to get serious. Ok, I will show you how serious I can get.
Junko runs up to Ukyo and gives her a big punch in the stomach. Ukyo bends with pain. Then Junko moves back a little and kicks Ukyo hard in the same place. Ukyo falls to the ground.
Junko: Had enough?
Ukyo did not answer.
Ryoga: (With a smile) Junko, you're doing great.
Junko: (Looking at Ryoga and with a smile) Thanks, Ryoga.
Ukyo gets up and no one notices. She runs toward Junko and kicks her hard. Junko falls backwards, onto the ground.
Ukyo: That's what you get for hitting me.
Junko looks up at Ukyo with an angry face.
Junko: (Angry voice) That's it. I'm going to finish this right now.
Junko jumps on top of a wall. She turns and now is facing Ukyo.
Junko: I'm going to show you what you get for making me mad. (She gets in a fighting stance.) This move that I'm about to use is very hard to learn. It takes a lot of skill and strength to do it. I sent many people to the hospital with this move. You're going to be another one. (A smile comes up on her face.) Are you ready? Here it comes. (She takes in a big breath and yells out.) Saotome Anything Goes Martial Arts Secret Final Attack.
Ukyo: (Surprised) Secret Final Attack.
Junko: Falcon Crush.
Junko jumps high in the air and comes down fast. When Junko hits the ground with her fist, the ground shakes and everybody falls down. The ground cracks open. One of the walls, that is away from the school, crumbs into pieces. Dust covers the whole area. When the dust clears, there is a large crater in the place where Junko hit. There is a large crack in the ground that goes up to stairs that lead to the front doors of the school on one side and to the street from the other. Junko is nowhere to be seen.
Ryoga: (Getting up and dusting himself off) I never saw that attack before.
Ranma: (Getting up and dusting himself off) Yea. I never saw that attack either. I never even hear of that attack before. I have to ask Junko about that attack when she is finished.
Akane: (Also getting up and dusting herself off) Wow! That was a very powerful attack. I like to know more about that attack myself.
Everybody else gets up and starts to dust their self's off.
Nabiki: (Looking around) Where are Junko and Ukyo?
Everybody starts looking around for the two fighters.
Ryoga: (Seeing Junko) She's right there. (He points to the wall, where the sign that says the name of the school on it is. Everybody turns and looks.) Hey, Junko. Are you alright?
Junko: (Turns to look at Ryoga) Yea. I'm alright. (See turns and looks around for Ukyo. She cannot find her. She looks in the direction of the others.) Have any of you seen Ukyo?
No one can find her, but then they all hear a groan. Everyone looks at a pile of rubble that was created by the attack. They all see it move and a hand comes up from it. Then they see Ukyo pulling herself out of the rubble. She looks badly hurt.
Junko: (Looking over at Ukyo) Had enough now?
Ukyo: (Looking at Junko) No. I can still kick your butt. (Groans) You didn't beat me yet. (She groans again. She gets back on her feet.) See, I'm back on my feet. Now I'm going to kick your butt. (She slowly walks toward Junko, then stops.) That attack is not going to stop me from…
Ukyo stops talking then falls down to the ground. She is out cold.
Junko: (Walks up to Ukyo) It looks like she had enough. (She bends down and looks at Ukyo.) She's out like a light. It looks like she didn't move when I did the attack. To bad. I didn't really want to hurt her. (She walks up to Ranma, Ryoga, and Akane.) So, what now?
Scene goes to Nabiki and her friends.
Nabiki: Looks like Junko won. We get to keep all the money.
Friend1: That's great.
Friend2: Yeah.
Scene goes back to Ranma, Ryoga, Akane, and Junko.
Ranma: That was a great move, Junko. Who taught you that move?
Junko: My dad.
Ranma: Your dad! Why doesn't my pop know this move?
Junko: (Laughs a little) Uncle Genma couldn't learn it. My dad told me that Uncle Genma tried to learn it but couldn't. He said that Uncle Genma was too slow. You have to be fast to do this attack.
Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga together: Wow!
Akane: So, your father taught you that attack. That was a great attack.
Junko: (Smiles) Thank you. What's you name?
Akane: My name is Akane.
Ranma: She is my fiancée.
Junko: (Smiles) You're engaged. Wow. That's nice. It's very nice to meet you.
Akane: It's nice to meet you too, Junko.
One of the students looks into the school then sees the principle coming.
Male Student: Hey, everybody. The principle is coming.
When everybody hears this, they all panic. Ranma looks over to Junko.
Ranma: Junko, we have to go. If the principle sees us here we are going to be in a lot of trouble.
Ranma grabs Akane and Junko's arms and runs away from the school.
Ryoga: Hey. Wait for me you idiot.
Ryoga follows behind.
Kuno sees Ranma, Ryoga, Akane, and Junko run.
Kuno: Why is the pig-tailed girl running away? I must follow her.
When Kuno starts to follow, a small piece of the wall falls from the air and hits him in the head. He is out cold.
Nabiki: Another trip to the nurse's office for you Kuno-baby.
Nabiki takes Kuno into the school.
Scene goes to Junko, Ranma, and Akane. They are running toward the Tendo Dojo.
Junko: Why are we leaving the school? School isn't over yet.
Ranma: (Running as fast as he can) I don't want that principle catching any of us.
Ranma runs all the way home to the Tendo Dojo. He stops at the front doors to catch his breath.
Junko: (Looking at the dojo) Is this the place where you live, Ranma?
Ranma: Yea. This is where Akane and me live.
Junko: Akane lives here too?
Akane: Well, this is my house. Ranma just moved in. That's all.
Junko: I see.
Akane: Come on Junko. Come in. I like you to meet my father and my older sister.
Junko: (Smiling) Sure. I would like to meet your family.
Akane and Junko go in. Ranma stays outside catching his breath. Then Ryoga comes up. He is mad at Ranma for not waiting for him.
Ryoga: Damn you Ranma! Why didn't you wait for me to catch up with you? You know that I get lost sometimes.
Ranma: Like I care. I wouldn't mind that you did get lost.
Ryoga: (Very mad) Why you! I'll make you pay for that.
Ryoga raises his fist up and is about to punch Ranma when Junko comes out.
Junko: Oh, Ryoga. You got here. That's good. (She sees that Ryoga has his hand in a fist.) What's going on?
Ryoga: (Putting his hand behind his back) Nothing, Junko. Just had my hand up. That's all. I wasn't going to punch Ranma or anything. (Laughs and nervously smiles)
Junko: (Smiles) Ok, Ryoga. Why don't you come in. And you too, Ranma.
Both Ranma and Ryoga look at each other then go in. Junko starts to look around.
Junko: Nice house.
Akane: (Smiles) Thank you, Junko. What to meet my dad?
Junko: Yes I would.
Junko follows Akane to the where the dining table is. At the table is Soun Tendo, reading the newspaper. Kasumi is in the kitchen.
Akane: Dad, I'm home.
Soun looks up and Kasumi comes out of the kitchen.
Soun and Kasumi together: Akane. Why are you home early?
Akane: Something happened at school, so everybody gets to have the day off.
Kasumi: Are you alright, Akane?
Akane: Yes I am. Nothing bad happened to anybody. (Forgetting about Ukyo)
Soun: Ok. (Sees Junko) Who is that?
Akane: This is Junko.
Soun: Oh. So you are the cousin Ranma was talking about. My name is Soun Tendo.
Junko: (Smiling) Nice to meet you, Mr. Tendo. (She bows)
Kasumi: My name is Kasumi Tendo.
Junko: Nice to meet you, Kasumi. (Bows again)
Soun: (Smiles) You are a very polite girl. You are nothing like what Genma Saotome described.
Junko starts to get mad. Then Ranma and Ryoga come in.
Ranma: (Looking at Kasumi and Soun) I see that you met Junko. (Looks at Junko) So, Junko, how do you like Mr. Tendo and Kasumi? (Notices she is mad then looks at Soun) You said something about my Pop didn't you?
Soun nods.
Ranma: Thought so.
Junko: (Looking at Soun) Where is my uncle?
Soun: He is outside, in the back. But it isn't a good time to go out there.
Junko starts to walk toward the backyard.
Soun: Junko. Don't go out.
Junko walks out the door.
Junko: WHAT THE HELL?! Junko runs back in. She has a surprised look on her face. What is a panda doing here?
Soun: Well…he's the family pet. (Laughs nervously)
Ranma: Not really. I'll show you. (Ranma goes in the kitchen and puts some water in a teakettle. He starts to heat it up.) Be ready in a minute. (Then he comes out with the teakettle full of hot water.) I'll show you something about the panda outside. (He goes outside and everybody follows him.) Watch this, Junko.
Ranma starts to pour the hot water on the panda. The panda starts to change into Genma. Junko is speechless.
Genma: (Very mad) Ranma, you didn't need to make that water so hot.
Ranma: (Laughing) Yes I did.
Genma gets up and is going to hit Ranma when he sees Junko.
Genma: Who's this?
Ranma: Your niece, Junko.
Genma: (Surprised) What!! Junko is here already. (Looking at Soun) Why did you let her in? I don't want her living here.
Soun: This is my house Saotome and I'm letting her stay here. If you have a problem with than you can leave.
Genma is getting mad. Then Junko shakes off the surprise.
Junko: Uncle Genma changes into a panda? What happened?
Ranma: Well, me and my dad went to China and…
Junko: Went to Jusenkyo.
Ranma: (Very surprised) H-how did you know that?
Junko: Well, it's along story. I have already told Ryoga about it.
Ranma: Could you tell me this story?
Junko: Ok. I will. (She walks into the house. Everybody walks in after her. Than everyone sits down at the table.) Okay. I'll tell you what happened. (She starts to tell what she told Ryoga. After a couple of minutes have pasted she ends.) And that is what happened.
Everybody is surprised.
Ranma: I can't believe this! How could that guy do that?
Ryoga: That's what I said too.
Ranma: And you have a curse also. That's terrible. What curse do you have?
Ryoga: I asked her that already and she wouldn't tell me.
Junko: (Looking down at the floor) I don't really want to say.
Ranma: So, what are saying is that you are embarrassed about the curse, right?
Junko nods.
Ranma: That's ok. (Pause) Well, I don't really want to keep this from you so I'll show you.
Junko: What are you talking about?
Ranma: I have a curse too.
Junko: WHAT??!!
Ranma: It's true. See.
Ranma gets some water and pours it on himself. He turns into a girl. Junko is very surprised.
Junko: You turn into a girl? That's terrible.
Ranma-chan: It's not that bad once you get used to it.
Junko: Ok.
Ranma-chan: So, you want to tell me about your curse.
Junko: No.
Ranma-chan: (Surprised) Ok. Ok. You don't have to tell me.
Genma: (Grins) Well, if you won't tell us what curse you have on you, then I'll just make you tell me.
Genma runs at Junko. Junko moves out of the way.
Junko: What are you doing?
Genma: I'm trying to knock you into the pond.
Genma runs at Junko again. Before he gets to her, Ryoga runs up and punches him toward the pond. Genma falls into the pond.
Ryoga: That's what you get for trying to throw Junko into a pond.
Genma comes out to the pond as a panda. He walks up to Ryoga and Junko. They are in the back door.
Ryoga: (Looking at Genma) Yes. Do you want anything? (Grins)
Panda-Genma: Making growling noise. Then gets out a sign. It reads: Look over there. What is that? Then he points toward the wall. Ryoga looks in the direction that Genma is pointing. Then Genma uses the sign and hits Junko with it. Junko is hit hard enough to send her flying toward the pond. Ryoga turns around just in time to see Junko going toward the pond.
Ryoga: JUNKO!
Ryoga starts to run toward the pond to stop Junko from falling in but is to late.
Junko: NO, NOT AGAIN.
Junko falls into the pond. Everybody looks at the pond.
Ranma-chan: (Mad) Pop. How could you do that?
Ryoga: (Very mad) Yea. She better not be hurt. If she is you are going to pay.
Akane looks over at Ranma-chan and Ryoga, then back at the pond. She sees bubbles coming up.
Akane: There are bubbles coming for the pond.
Everybody turns and looks over at the pond. Then Genma walks over to the pond and looks down at it.
Panda-Genma: Sign reads: I don't see anything.
Then the pond starts to bubble a lot. Then something comes out of the pond and hits Genma hard. No one can see what it is. It disappears. Genma is knocked out cold.
Ranma-chan: What was that?
Ryoga: I think it might of been Junko. Let's see.
Ryoga, Ranma-chan, and Akane go into the house. Ranma turns back to himself. Then they all leave to look for Junko. They all start calling out her name to see if she can hear them.
Ryoga: Junko! Junko!
Ranma: Junko, where are you?
Akane: Junko.
They look everywhere around the neighborhood. Then Ranma and Ryoga past a dark alley. Someone is there, in the dark alley. This person starts to walk out a bit. All you can see is their feet. When the person moves to see who passed by, their right foot sticks out. Akane is just getting there and doesn't see the foot sticking out. She trips over it. Two hands come out to the dark alley and stop her from falling. Ranma and Ryoga turn around when they hear something. When they look they see a guy holding Akane. They can't get a good look at him.
Ranma: What do you think you are doing to her?
Guy: I'm not hurting her. I just saw her falling and came out to stop her from falling to the ground. That's all.
Ryoga: Let her go now.
Akane: You two stop that. He's not hurting me. (The guy lets go of Akane. Akane turns to look at him.) Thanks. (The guy starts to move his head up. When Akane gets a good look at him she is surprised.) Wait a minute. You look like Ranma!
Ranma: What?! (He walks up to the guy and looks at him.) You're right Akane. He does look like me. Who are you and why do you look like me?
The guy stays quiet.
Ryoga: He might be your twin. (Laughs)
Ranma: (Looking at Ryoga) (He is not happy.) Ha, Ha. Veery funny. (Turns to look at the guy again) Tell me who you are.
Guy stays quiet.
Ryoga: Doesn't look like he wants to talk. Well, who ever you are, you just leave Akane alone.
Guy: I didn't do anything to Akane, Ryoga.
The guy notices that he said something wrong and covers his mouth.
Ryoga: How do you know my name?
Guy: Well, I… (The guy looks around.) Oh, look at the time. I have to go. Bye.
The guy runs off.
Ryoga: Come back here. (Ryoga runs after the guy. He gets close to the guy and trips him.) Now are you going to talk?
Guy: Why are you being so mean to me Ryoga? Did I do something wrong?
Ryoga: I just want to know how you know me.
Guy: Ok. Ok. I'll tell you, but not here. I like to tell you all in a place that isn't public.
Ranma: There isn't many people out, so you can tell us here.
Guy: (Sighs) Ok. If you want to know. I'm Junko.
They are all surprised.
Ranma: (Sad) Junko, your curse is to turn into a guy? That's terrible. (Pause) What's the name of the pond you fell in?
Akane: RANMA.
Ranma: It doesn't hurt to ask. (Looking at Junko-kun) Was the pond's name Nan-nii-chuan?
Junko-kun: No. That's not the name of the pond. It has a weird name that I don't remember.
Ranma: (Sighs) Ok. Thanks Junko. (A noise is heard. It's coming from Ranma.) All this running around has made me hunger. (He looks around.) Ukyo's restaurant is near by. Let's go there to eat.
Junko-kun: I don't know. You remember what happened earlier.
Ranma: Ukyo well of forgot all about that. Anyway, you are a guy now so she will not know it is you.
Junko-kun: I want to apologize to her for that fight. I rather go in there as myself.
Ranma: Ok. Let's get some hot water. (Ranma walks up to the restaurant and goes in.) Hi Ukyo. Do you have any hot water around?
Ukyo: (Behind the counter) Yea. I do. What do you need it for sugar?
Ranma: Nothing important. Just need it to wash something off.
Ukyo: Ok, Ranma. (She goes to get some hot water and comes back out with bucket full of it.) How's this sugar?
Ranma: Thanks Ukyo. (He runs outside and pours it slowly on Junko.) I hope that wasn't really hot.
Junko: It wasn't.
Ranma: Ok. Let's go in and eat.
Ryoga: Wait. I don't want Junko going in there. I don't ever want Junko to go in a place where she might get hurt.
Ranma: It's ok, Ryoga. I won't let Ukyo hurt her. I promise.
Ryoga: Well…ok. (In an angry voice) But if Ukyo does hurt her, I'm going to beat the hell out of you. Get it?
Ranma: Yea. I get it.
They all start to go into the restaurant. Ukyo has her back to them then turns around.
Ukyo: Hello. (She sees who it is.) Ran-chan. You came back. You hungry.
Ranma: Yea, I am. And I brought some others with me.
Ukyo: (Looking at the others) So, Akane and Ryoga are going to eat her?
Ranma: Yes, and my cousin.
Ukyo: (Surprised) Your cousin. Isn't your cousin that girl I met at school and had a fight with?
Ranma: Yea.
Ukyo: (Mad) Why did you let her in her? I don't want to see her.
Junko: (Looking at Ukyo) I'm sorry about what happened earlier. Please forgive me. (She bows)
Ukyo: I don't know
Ranma: Come on Ukyo. Junko is very sorry about it. She has been feeling bad ever since that fight. Please forgive her.
Ukyo: (Quiet for awhile) Ok. I forgive you. You all can have a seat and have some okonomiyaki on me.
All together: Thanks.
After everyone has eaten, they got to the Tendo Dojo. It's night now. None of them say a word about Junko's curse. Genma (as himself) kept asking and no one answered.
Genma: Come on. Tell me.
Ranma: No Pop. I'm not telling.
Genma: I really want to know.
Ranma: (Mad) NO. I'M NOT TELLING YOU. NOW GO TO BED.
Ranma goes into his room and goes to sleep. Genma comes in the room and goes to sleep. Everybody else goes to sleep. But not Junko and Ryoga. They are both in Junko's room talking.
Junko: It's nice of you to not tell anybody about my curse.
Ryoga: Junko, you are my best friend. I would never tell anybody your secret.
Junko: (Smiles) Thanks, Ryoga. Well, I'm starting to get tired. I'll see you in the morning.
Ryoga: Ok, Junko.
Ryoga leaves the room.
Junko: (Getting into bed) I wonder what I'm going to do tomorrow. Might be another fun day like today.
Junko goes to sleep.

Location: Tokyo, Japan
Open: In front of Furinkan High School, there is a crowd of students. In front of the students are Junko and Ukyo. They are about to start fighting. Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga are standing near each other. As usual, Nabiki is asking people for bets.
Nabiki: Who do you think will win, Junko or Ukyo? Place your bets here.
Nabiki's friends are helping her take bets.
Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga turn around and look at her.
Akane: Nabiki!
Nabiki: (Looks at them) There is no harm in taking some bets is there?
All three look at her with nasty looks.
Nabiki: Never mind. Bad question to ask. (Walks away toward her friends) So, how are the bets going?
Friend1: All the bets are on Ukyo.
Friend2: If Ukyo wins we will lose a lot of money.
Nabiki: Don't worry. We will let those two fight for awhile. If it looks like Ukyo will win, we will go in and help Junko. You understand?
Both together: Yes boss.
Nabiki: Good. Now let me see how much money we got. (Her friends hand her all the money they have collected and she starts to count it.) Hmm! This is a lot of money. I have a count of 10,000 yen. Not bad. Girls, lets get ready for this fight. Remember, Junko has to win.
Both together: Ok boss.
Nabiki: Good.
Nabiki waits for the fight to start.
Back to Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga.
Akane: (A little mad) I can't believe her. She always does these.
Ranma: Don't worry about her. All I'm worry about is Junko. I hope she wins.
Ryoga: She will. I've seen her fight. She is really good.
Ranma: I hope so.
Scene goes to Junko and Ukyo. They are in fighting poses.
Ukyo: (Talking to Junko) This is going to be easy. I can beat you real quick. Anyway, what is your name?
Junko: (Looking at Ukyo) Why do you want to know my name?
Ukyo: I just want to know.
Junko: Ok. It's Junko Saotome and yours?
Ukyo: (Surprised) Wait a minute. You are related to Ranma.
Junko: Yes, I'm his cousin.
Ukyo: Oh, so that is how you are related to him. My name is Ukyo Kuonji.
Junko: Ok, Ukyo. Are you ready to fight?
Ukyo: Yes I am.
Junko: Good. I'll be nice and let you start. I will just stand here and wait for you.
Ukyo: (A smile goes across her face) Ok, have it your way. Don't go complaining to someone about being hurt.
Ukyo gets out her biggest spatula and aims it at Junko. Then she starts to run at Junko. The spatula looks like it is going to hit Junko, but at the last minute Junko dodges it. Ukyo stops.
Ukyo: (Surprised) You're fast.
Junko: (With a smile on her face) Thank you.
Ukyo starts to slash at Junko with her spatula. Junko dodges. Then when Junko dodges one of Ukyo's swings, Ukyo quickly swings her spatula again and hits Junko. Junko falls back.
Ryoga: Junko! He runs up to where Junko is. Junko, are you alright?
Junko: (Getting up) Yea, I'm alright.
Ryoga: That's good. Junko, if you could duck under the spatula when Ukyo swings it at you, you can get a hold of it and stop her from hitting you.
Junko: That's a good idea, Ryoga. I go and do that.
Ukyo: (To Junko) Had enough?
Junko: No. Why don't you come at me again. (To Ryoga) You better go back over where Ranma is. I don't want you getting hurt.
Ryoga: Okay, Junko. I will. (He goes back over to where he was.)
Ukyo comes at Junko again. Ukyo swings her spatula at Junko. Junko ducks under the spatula and grabs it. Ukyo doesn't like this so she starts to tug on her spatula to get it out of Junko's grip. To Ukyo's surprise, Junko doesn't lose her grip on the spatula. Junko decides to tug on it too and a tug-of-war starts between the two.
Ukyo: Let go of my spatula.
Junko: Make me.
Ukyo starts to pull harder on the spatula. She looks up at Junko and sees a smile on her face.
Junko: (In her mind) Time to end this.
Junko starts to lift the spatula up. At first, she lifts it slowly. Then all of a sudden, she starts to lift it very fast. Ukyo didn't have time to react to this and she was in the air, still holding on to her spatula. Everyone is surprised. Junko is still holding the spatula also. Junko is holding up Ukyo in the air. Then faster than anyone could react Junko slams Ukyo in the ground.
Every Student: Whoa!
Ryoga: (Smiling) See, I told you so.
Ranma: Wow. How did she do that?
Ryoga: (Turns toward Ranma) Well, she has been training with me for years.
Ranma: (Surprised) What? (Turns toward Ryoga) Don't tell me. She is as strong as you are, right?
Ryoga: No, not really. She is about as strong as me. I will tell you more later.
Akane: She trained with you, Ryoga? Wow.
Ryoga: (Looks at Akane and smiles) Thank you. (Looks at Junko then at Ukyo) That will teach Ukyo a lesson.
The scene goes to Nabiki and her friends.
Nabiki: It looks like we don't have to worry about Ukyo winning. You two can just forget about plan A.
Both: Ok, boss.
They drop some metal pipes to the ground.
The scene goes to Junko
Junko: (Looking at Ukyo) That will teach you to call my friends names.
Ukyo doesn't move but groans. Junko turns toward the others and walks toward Ranma, Ryoga, and Akane.
Junko: So, where were we before we were rudely interrupted?
Junko looks at Ukyo.
Ranma: We were talking about you, Junko.
Junko: Oh, yeah. You were asking about my friendship with Ryoga. Well…
Before she could continue, Ukyo got up.
Ryoga: Junko, look out behind you!
Junko quickly turns around just in time to dodge Ukyo's spatula. She grabs the spatula again, but this time she tugs on it so hard that Ukyo loses her grip on it. The spatula in now in Junko's hands.
Ukyo: Give me back my spatula!
Junko: (Not listening to Ukyo and looking at the spatula in her hands) Nice spatula. It looks very strong. (A smirk comes up on her face) But you shouldn't be using it to hurt others.
Junko gets the spatula in both hands and holds it out. Then she starts to bend it. Everyone starts to hear a sound coming from the spatula. Then all of a sudden, the spatula bends.
Junko: That's better.
Ukyo: (Silence for awhile) Y-you bent my spatula.
Junko: (Looking a Ukyo) So I did.
Junko throws the spatula to Ukyo now.
Ukyo: (Now on the ground looking at her bent spatula) My spatula. I can't believe you bent it. (Ukyo gets up and is looking at the ground then she looks up at Junko.) She has an angry look on her face. Ok, so you bent my spatula. I can still kick your butt without it.
Junko: Ok, come at me.
Ukyo runs at Junko. When Ukyo is about to hit her, Junko moves out of the way and trips Ukyo. Ukyo hits the ground headfirst. Ukyo gets up quickly and throws some of the smaller spatulas at her. Junko dodges them.
Junko: So, you want to get serious. Ok, I will show you how serious I can get.
Junko runs up to Ukyo and gives her a big punch in the stomach. Ukyo bends with pain. Then Junko moves back a little and kicks Ukyo hard in the same place. Ukyo falls to the ground.
Junko: Had enough?
Ukyo did not answer.
Ryoga: (With a smile) Junko, you're doing great.
Junko: (Looking at Ryoga and with a smile) Thanks, Ryoga.
Ukyo gets up and no one notices. She runs toward Junko and kicks her hard. Junko falls backwards, onto the ground.
Ukyo: That's what you get for hitting me.
Junko looks up at Ukyo with an angry face.
Junko: (Angry voice) That's it. I'm going to finish this right now.
Junko jumps on top of a wall. She turns and now is facing Ukyo.
Junko: I'm going to show you what you get for making me mad. (She gets in a fighting stance.) This move that I'm about to use is very hard to learn. It takes a lot of skill and strength to do it. I sent many people to the hospital with this move. You're going to be another one. (A smile comes up on her face.) Are you ready? Here it comes. (She takes in a big breath and yells out.) Saotome Anything Goes Martial Arts Secret Final Attack.
Ukyo: (Surprised) Secret Final Attack.
Junko: Falcon Crush.
Junko jumps high in the air and comes down fast. When Junko hits the ground with her fist, the ground shakes and everybody falls down. The ground cracks open. One of the walls, that is away from the school, crumbs into pieces. Dust covers the whole area. When the dust clears, there is a large crater in the place where Junko hit. There is a large crack in the ground that goes up to stairs that lead to the front doors of the school on one side and to the street from the other. Junko is nowhere to be seen.
Ryoga: (Getting up and dusting himself off) I never saw that attack before.
Ranma: (Getting up and dusting himself off) Yea. I never saw that attack either. I never even hear of that attack before. I have to ask Junko about that attack when she is finished.
Akane: (Also getting up and dusting herself off) Wow! That was a very powerful attack. I like to know more about that attack myself.
Everybody else gets up and starts to dust their self's off.
Nabiki: (Looking around) Where are Junko and Ukyo?
Everybody starts looking around for the two fighters.
Ryoga: (Seeing Junko) She's right there. (He points to the wall, where the sign that says the name of the school on it is. Everybody turns and looks.) Hey, Junko. Are you alright?
Junko: (Turns to look at Ryoga) Yea. I'm alright. (See turns and looks around for Ukyo. She cannot find her. She looks in the direction of the others.) Have any of you seen Ukyo?
No one can find her, but then they all hear a groan. Everyone looks at a pile of rubble that was created by the attack. They all see it move and a hand comes up from it. Then they see Ukyo pulling herself out of the rubble. She looks badly hurt.
Junko: (Looking over at Ukyo) Had enough now?
Ukyo: (Looking at Junko) No. I can still kick your butt. (Groans) You didn't beat me yet. (She groans again. She gets back on her feet.) See, I'm back on my feet. Now I'm going to kick your butt. (She slowly walks toward Junko, then stops.) That attack is not going to stop me from…
Ukyo stops talking then falls down to the ground. She is out cold.
Junko: (Walks up to Ukyo) It looks like she had enough. (She bends down and looks at Ukyo.) She's out like a light. It looks like she didn't move when I did the attack. To bad. I didn't really want to hurt her. (She walks up to Ranma, Ryoga, and Akane.) So, what now?
Scene goes to Nabiki and her friends.
Nabiki: Looks like Junko won. We get to keep all the money.
Friend1: That's great.
Friend2: Yeah.
Scene goes back to Ranma, Ryoga, Akane, and Junko.
Ranma: That was a great move, Junko. Who taught you that move?
Junko: My dad.
Ranma: Your dad! Why doesn't my pop know this move?
Junko: (Laughs a little) Uncle Genma couldn't learn it. My dad told me that Uncle Genma tried to learn it but couldn't. He said that Uncle Genma was too slow. You have to be fast to do this attack.
Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga together: Wow!
Akane: So, your father taught you that attack. That was a great attack.
Junko: (Smiles) Thank you. What's you name?
Akane: My name is Akane.
Ranma: She is my fiancée.
Junko: (Smiles) You're engaged. Wow. That's nice. It's very nice to meet you.
Akane: It's nice to meet you too, Junko.
One of the students looks into the school then sees the principle coming.
Male Student: Hey, everybody. The principle is coming.
When everybody hears this, they all panic. Ranma looks over to Junko.
Ranma: Junko, we have to go. If the principle sees us here we are going to be in a lot of trouble.
Ranma grabs Akane and Junko's arms and runs away from the school.
Ryoga: Hey. Wait for me you idiot.
Ryoga follows behind.
Kuno sees Ranma, Ryoga, Akane, and Junko run.
Kuno: Why is the pig-tailed girl running away? I must follow her.
When Kuno starts to follow, a small piece of the wall falls from the air and hits him in the head. He is out cold.
Nabiki: Another trip to the nurse's office for you Kuno-baby.
Nabiki takes Kuno into the school.
Scene goes to Junko, Ranma, and Akane. They are running toward the Tendo Dojo.
Junko: Why are we leaving the school? School isn't over yet.
Ranma: (Running as fast as he can) I don't want that principle catching any of us.
Ranma runs all the way home to the Tendo Dojo. He stops at the front doors to catch his breath.
Junko: (Looking at the dojo) Is this the place where you live, Ranma?
Ranma: Yea. This is where Akane and me live.
Junko: Akane lives here too?
Akane: Well, this is my house. Ranma just moved in. That's all.
Junko: I see.
Akane: Come on Junko. Come in. I like you to meet my father and my older sister.
Junko: (Smiling) Sure. I would like to meet your family.
Akane and Junko go in. Ranma stays outside catching his breath. Then Ryoga comes up. He is mad at Ranma for not waiting for him.
Ryoga: Damn you Ranma! Why didn't you wait for me to catch up with you? You know that I get lost sometimes.
Ranma: Like I care. I wouldn't mind that you did get lost.
Ryoga: (Very mad) Why you! I'll make you pay for that.
Ryoga raises his fist up and is about to punch Ranma when Junko comes out.
Junko: Oh, Ryoga. You got here. That's good. (She sees that Ryoga has his hand in a fist.) What's going on?
Ryoga: (Putting his hand behind his back) Nothing, Junko. Just had my hand up. That's all. I wasn't going to punch Ranma or anything. (Laughs and nervously smiles)
Junko: (Smiles) Ok, Ryoga. Why don't you come in. And you too, Ranma.
Both Ranma and Ryoga look at each other then go in. Junko starts to look around.
Junko: Nice house.
Akane: (Smiles) Thank you, Junko. What to meet my dad?
Junko: Yes I would.
Junko follows Akane to the where the dining table is. At the table is Soun Tendo, reading the newspaper. Kasumi is in the kitchen.
Akane: Dad, I'm home.
Soun looks up and Kasumi comes out of the kitchen.
Soun and Kasumi together: Akane. Why are you home early?
Akane: Something happened at school, so everybody gets to have the day off.
Kasumi: Are you alright, Akane?
Akane: Yes I am. Nothing bad happened to anybody. (Forgetting about Ukyo)
Soun: Ok. (Sees Junko) Who is that?
Akane: This is Junko.
Soun: Oh. So you are the cousin Ranma was talking about. My name is Soun Tendo.
Junko: (Smiling) Nice to meet you, Mr. Tendo. (She bows)
Kasumi: My name is Kasumi Tendo.
Junko: Nice to meet you, Kasumi. (Bows again)
Soun: (Smiles) You are a very polite girl. You are nothing like what Genma Saotome described.
Junko starts to get mad. Then Ranma and Ryoga come in.
Ranma: (Looking at Kasumi and Soun) I see that you met Junko. (Looks at Junko) So, Junko, how do you like Mr. Tendo and Kasumi? (Notices she is mad then looks at Soun) You said something about my Pop didn't you?
Soun nods.
Ranma: Thought so.
Junko: (Looking at Soun) Where is my uncle?
Soun: He is outside, in the back. But it isn't a good time to go out there.
Junko starts to walk toward the backyard.
Soun: Junko. Don't go out.
Junko walks out the door.
Junko: WHAT THE HELL?! Junko runs back in. She has a surprised look on her face. What is a panda doing here?
Soun: Well…he's the family pet. (Laughs nervously)
Ranma: Not really. I'll show you. (Ranma goes in the kitchen and puts some water in a teakettle. He starts to heat it up.) Be ready in a minute. (Then he comes out with the teakettle full of hot water.) I'll show you something about the panda outside. (He goes outside and everybody follows him.) Watch this, Junko.
Ranma starts to pour the hot water on the panda. The panda starts to change into Genma. Junko is speechless.
Genma: (Very mad) Ranma, you didn't need to make that water so hot.
Ranma: (Laughing) Yes I did.
Genma gets up and is going to hit Ranma when he sees Junko.
Genma: Who's this?
Ranma: Your niece, Junko.
Genma: (Surprised) What!! Junko is here already. (Looking at Soun) Why did you let her in? I don't want her living here.
Soun: This is my house Saotome and I'm letting her stay here. If you have a problem with than you can leave.
Genma is getting mad. Then Junko shakes off the surprise.
Junko: Uncle Genma changes into a panda? What happened?
Ranma: Well, me and my dad went to China and…
Junko: Went to Jusenkyo.
Ranma: (Very surprised) H-how did you know that?
Junko: Well, it's along story. I have already told Ryoga about it.
Ranma: Could you tell me this story?
Junko: Ok. I will. (She walks into the house. Everybody walks in after her. Than everyone sits down at the table.) Okay. I'll tell you what happened. (She starts to tell what she told Ryoga. After a couple of minutes have pasted she ends.) And that is what happened.
Everybody is surprised.
Ranma: I can't believe this! How could that guy do that?
Ryoga: That's what I said too.
Ranma: And you have a curse also. That's terrible. What curse do you have?
Ryoga: I asked her that already and she wouldn't tell me.
Junko: (Looking down at the floor) I don't really want to say.
Ranma: So, what are saying is that you are embarrassed about the curse, right?
Junko nods.
Ranma: That's ok. (Pause) Well, I don't really want to keep this from you so I'll show you.
Junko: What are you talking about?
Ranma: I have a curse too.
Junko: WHAT??!!
Ranma: It's true. See.
Ranma gets some water and pours it on himself. He turns into a girl. Junko is very surprised.
Junko: You turn into a girl? That's terrible.
Ranma-chan: It's not that bad once you get used to it.
Junko: Ok.
Ranma-chan: So, you want to tell me about your curse.
Junko: No.
Ranma-chan: (Surprised) Ok. Ok. You don't have to tell me.
Genma: (Grins) Well, if you won't tell us what curse you have on you, then I'll just make you tell me.
Genma runs at Junko. Junko moves out of the way.
Junko: What are you doing?
Genma: I'm trying to knock you into the pond.
Genma runs at Junko again. Before he gets to her, Ryoga runs up and punches him toward the pond. Genma falls into the pond.
Ryoga: That's what you get for trying to throw Junko into a pond.
Genma comes out to the pond as a panda. He walks up to Ryoga and Junko. They are in the back door.
Ryoga: (Looking at Genma) Yes. Do you want anything? (Grins)
Panda-Genma: Making growling noise. Then gets out a sign. It reads: Look over there. What is that? Then he points toward the wall. Ryoga looks in the direction that Genma is pointing. Then Genma uses the sign and hits Junko with it. Junko is hit hard enough to send her flying toward the pond. Ryoga turns around just in time to see Junko going toward the pond.
Ryoga: JUNKO!
Ryoga starts to run toward the pond to stop Junko from falling in but is to late.
Junko: NO, NOT AGAIN.
Junko falls into the pond. Everybody looks at the pond.
Ranma-chan: (Mad) Pop. How could you do that?
Ryoga: (Very mad) Yea. She better not be hurt. If she is you are going to pay.
Akane looks over at Ranma-chan and Ryoga, then back at the pond. She sees bubbles coming up.
Akane: There are bubbles coming for the pond.
Everybody turns and looks over at the pond. Then Genma walks over to the pond and looks down at it.
Panda-Genma: Sign reads: I don't see anything.
Then the pond starts to bubble a lot. Then something comes out of the pond and hits Genma hard. No one can see what it is. It disappears. Genma is knocked out cold.
Ranma-chan: What was that?
Ryoga: I think it might of been Junko. Let's see.
Ryoga, Ranma-chan, and Akane go into the house. Ranma turns back to himself. Then they all leave to look for Junko. They all start calling out her name to see if she can hear them.
Ryoga: Junko! Junko!
Ranma: Junko, where are you?
Akane: Junko.
They look everywhere around the neighborhood. Then Ranma and Ryoga past a dark alley. Someone is there, in the dark alley. This person starts to walk out a bit. All you can see is their feet. When the person moves to see who passed by, their right foot sticks out. Akane is just getting there and doesn't see the foot sticking out. She trips over it. Two hands come out to the dark alley and stop her from falling. Ranma and Ryoga turn around when they hear something. When they look they see a guy holding Akane. They can't get a good look at him.
Ranma: What do you think you are doing to her?
Guy: I'm not hurting her. I just saw her falling and came out to stop her from falling to the ground. That's all.
Ryoga: Let her go now.
Akane: You two stop that. He's not hurting me. (The guy lets go of Akane. Akane turns to look at him.) Thanks. (The guy starts to move his head up. When Akane gets a good look at him she is surprised.) Wait a minute. You look like Ranma!
Ranma: What?! (He walks up to the guy and looks at him.) You're right Akane. He does look like me. Who are you and why do you look like me?
The guy stays quiet.
Ryoga: He might be your twin. (Laughs)
Ranma: (Looking at Ryoga) (He is not happy.) Ha, Ha. Veery funny. (Turns to look at the guy again) Tell me who you are.
Guy stays quiet.
Ryoga: Doesn't look like he wants to talk. Well, who ever you are, you just leave Akane alone.
Guy: I didn't do anything to Akane, Ryoga.
The guy notices that he said something wrong and covers his mouth.
Ryoga: How do you know my name?
Guy: Well, I… (The guy looks around.) Oh, look at the time. I have to go. Bye.
The guy runs off.
Ryoga: Come back here. (Ryoga runs after the guy. He gets close to the guy and trips him.) Now are you going to talk?
Guy: Why are you being so mean to me Ryoga? Did I do something wrong?
Ryoga: I just want to know how you know me.
Guy: Ok. Ok. I'll tell you, but not here. I like to tell you all in a place that isn't public.
Ranma: There isn't many people out, so you can tell us here.
Guy: (Sighs) Ok. If you want to know. I'm Junko.
They are all surprised.
Ranma: (Sad) Junko, your curse is to turn into a guy? That's terrible. (Pause) What's the name of the pond you fell in?
Akane: RANMA.
Ranma: It doesn't hurt to ask. (Looking at Junko-kun) Was the pond's name Nan-nii-chuan?
Junko-kun: No. That's not the name of the pond. It has a weird name that I don't remember.
Ranma: (Sighs) Ok. Thanks Junko. (A noise is heard. It's coming from Ranma.) All this running around has made me hunger. (He looks around.) Ukyo's restaurant is near by. Let's go there to eat.
Junko-kun: I don't know. You remember what happened earlier.
Ranma: Ukyo well of forgot all about that. Anyway, you are a guy now so she will not know it is you.
Junko-kun: I want to apologize to her for that fight. I rather go in there as myself.
Ranma: Ok. Let's get some hot water. (Ranma walks up to the restaurant and goes in.) Hi Ukyo. Do you have any hot water around?
Ukyo: (Behind the counter) Yea. I do. What do you need it for sugar?
Ranma: Nothing important. Just need it to wash something off.
Ukyo: Ok, Ranma. (She goes to get some hot water and comes back out with bucket full of it.) How's this sugar?
Ranma: Thanks Ukyo. (He runs outside and pours it slowly on Junko.) I hope that wasn't really hot.
Junko: It wasn't.
Ranma: Ok. Let's go in and eat.
Ryoga: Wait. I don't want Junko going in there. I don't ever want Junko to go in a place where she might get hurt.
Ranma: It's ok, Ryoga. I won't let Ukyo hurt her. I promise.
Ryoga: Well…ok. (In an angry voice) But if Ukyo does hurt her, I'm going to beat the hell out of you. Get it?
Ranma: Yea. I get it.
They all start to go into the restaurant. Ukyo has her back to them then turns around.
Ukyo: Hello. (She sees who it is.) Ran-chan. You came back. You hungry.
Ranma: Yea, I am. And I brought some others with me.
Ukyo: (Looking at the others) So, Akane and Ryoga are going to eat her?
Ranma: Yes, and my cousin.
Ukyo: (Surprised) Your cousin. Isn't your cousin that girl I met at school and had a fight with?
Ranma: Yea.
Ukyo: (Mad) Why did you let her in her? I don't want to see her.
Junko: (Looking at Ukyo) I'm sorry about what happened earlier. Please forgive me. (She bows)
Ukyo: I don't know
Ranma: Come on Ukyo. Junko is very sorry about it. She has been feeling bad ever since that fight. Please forgive her.
Ukyo: (Quiet for awhile) Ok. I forgive you. You all can have a seat and have some okonomiyaki on me.
All together: Thanks.
After everyone has eaten, they got to the Tendo Dojo. It's night now. None of them say a word about Junko's curse. Genma (as himself) kept asking and no one answered.
Genma: Come on. Tell me.
Ranma: No Pop. I'm not telling.
Genma: I really want to know.
Ranma: (Mad) NO. I'M NOT TELLING YOU. NOW GO TO BED.
Ranma goes into his room and goes to sleep. Genma comes in the room and goes to sleep. Everybody else goes to sleep. But not Junko and Ryoga. They are both in Junko's room talking.
Junko: It's nice of you to not tell anybody about my curse.
Ryoga: Junko, you are my best friend. I would never tell anybody your secret.
Junko: (Smiles) Thanks, Ryoga. Well, I'm starting to get tired. I'll see you in the morning.
Ryoga: Ok, Junko.
Ryoga leaves the room.
Junko: (Getting into bed) I wonder what I'm going to do tomorrow. Might be another fun day like today.
Junko goes to sleep.
End
