Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma or DBZ
Akane walked into the house exhausted. Nabiki was standing at the door.

"Man, you look perky Akane." Nabiki said.

Kasumi, Tom, Gohan, Ranma, and Videl walked in.

"Akane, what happened?" Kasumi asked.

"Oh nothing, just training with Laura." Tom's eyes looked interested. "Looks like she's improved since last time."

"Wait, Akane. Back up, who is this Laura person?" Tom asked.

"Oh, she's a friend of mine, we spare with each other every Thursday. She owns a dojo and she's a master of Un-E-Varse." Akane said.

"I'd like to meet her." Tom said. "Could you take me to her?" Akane nodded.
Later
They arrived the dojo. Ranma, Tom, Gohan, Videl, and Akane entered. Standing, at the counter was a short light blue haired (remember Shampoo has a dark blue hair) girl who was EXTREMLY beautiful even Ranma looked a little jaw dropped. Akane noticed and elbowed him.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR AKANE?" Ranma yelled.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK?" Akane yelled back.

This got Laura's attention. "May I help you? Oh Akane, what a surprise."

Akane punched Ranma to the floor and turned to Laura. "Hey Laura, I just came back cause I've got a friend who'd like to meet you."

"Which one?" Laura asked.

Tom walked forward. "Me."

"Huh?" Laura gave a confused look like she recognized him.

"Laura, this is Tom Walled, Tom this is Laura...Laura...Say, what's your last name anyway?" Akane asked.

"Why, it's Walled too." Laura said. EVERYONE GASPED.

"I knew it, sister!" Tom cheered.

"Brother!" Laura cheered too, more excited than Tom.

However, when she got close to Tom, he punched her into a wall.

"TOM!" Videl gasped.

"What was that for Tom?" Gohan asked angrily.

Tom ignored them; he marched up to Laura and held her by the collar of her shirt. "What the hell is wrong with you Laura, you broke your promise to me. Remember? We vowed never to reveal the ways of the Uni-Varse technique!" Tom yelled.

"Uni-Varse technique?" Everyone else asked. Tom gave a 'Aw man' look.

"Bone head." Laura mumbled back.

"Guess I did have to tell them the truth sooner or later." Tom turned around. "Guys, we need to talk."
Later
Laura had pulled out chairs for everyone to sit down. She made some tea and put it on a table for everyone.

"All right Tom, let's hear it. You told Gohan and me you never knew how you got your, uh, abilities from." Videl corrected herself, remembering Ranma and Akane don't know Toms secret.

"Yeah Tom, why'd you lie?" Gohan asked with a look of betrayal on his face.

"Well, it all started about 10 or so years ago. Oh, before I go on, Laura and I are from America in case you guys didn't know." Tom mentioned.

"Really, I couldn't tell." Ranma said, everyone gave him dumb looks.

'Idiot.' Akane thought.

"Uh, anyway. As I was saying, Laura and I were from America, Las Angeles to be exact. It was during an Earthquake. This was one of those really big ones that makes cracks in the Earth." {Note: There is a flashback going on during all of this}

Laura came in. "We were playing, before the Earthquake started, and having fun. Suddenly, a crack opened up beneath me. Tom ran to try and save me, but we both fell in."

Tom continued. "We fell for what felt like forever. When we landed, it was amazing. There were these torches underground that were still glowing. Either we fell into an extremely deep mine that was still in use or we fell into someplace else. We followed the lights down a hall until we came to this shrine. It was huge! It looked alien too."

"How could you tell?" Akane asked.

"Well, there were this statues that looked like aliens, mainly cause of the antennas on its head." Laura told her. Akane gave a nervous laugh.

"Anyway, we walked up the shrine steps until we got to this plaque of some sort. Neither one of us could make heads or tales of it, however we somehow understood it. Basically it said 'the first to touch this shrine shall gain the powers and the knowledge of Uni-Varse. Anyone else shall only gain the knowledge and skills of the Uni-Varse.' I thought others had been there before, seeing as how there were lights, and I also didn't believe it much. So, of course, I touched it. When I did I felt like I was on fire and then something on the plaque started to glow on my arm that traveled across my body. Then I blacked out."

Laura, excitedly this time, came in. "Then I, being the curious girl I was then, ran up and touched the plaque too. I, too, felt like I was on fire, and yes there was a light that came from the plaque, however this one went straight to my head, literally, and I too blacked out.

"When I woke up, I felt stronger. I walked to a wall and put my arm on it, a little too hard I guess cause I went right through it. The whole place started to cave in. I grabbed Laura and ran to where we fell down. I, surprisingly, started to jump, from side to side, up the walls of the crack. We made it out just in time. We she woke up, she told me that she felt weird."

"No Tom, I believe I said I felt funny. I felt like I wanted to do kicks and punches. Anyway, we, sooner or later, found out what that plaque did to us. It came true for Tom; he gained the Knowledge AND the Power of the Uni-varse. I only gained the knowledge of it. I promised each other never EVER to talk about our "special abilities'.

Everyone had confused looks on them. "So, you're powers are alien?" Ranma asked.

"Yeah." Tom, rather angrily, said.

"But why did you leave?" Akane asked.

"Well that had to do with out parents. You see, I could hide my secret for a while cause it was up here in my head. Tom, on the other hand, couldn't hide it well cause he couldn't hide his strength. They found out a few days later and, well, they started to use him." Laura sad fully said.

Everyone gasped a little.

"Yes, my parents did use. It wasn't until I was older that I realized it. Anyway, I used my abilities to help me win a contest that gave a free trip to China. I wanted to go anywhere but here. I hated to leave Laura, but I figured her secret was safe. By the way, Laura, how did mom and dad figure it out?"

"Oh, they've known, it juts wasn't until we were in financial dept that they started to use me. However I turned the tides, I saved a little of the money I made, winning fighting contests, until I made enough to come here. I also needed a place to live and make money, so I made this place; with what ever money I had left, and opened up this dojo. I was panicking Tom."

"Tom, I don't think you should be mad at your sister anymore, I mean, anyone would have done the same thing she did. Admit it, even you would too." Videl mentioned to Tom.

"I guess you're right, say Laura how would you like to come with us over to the Tendos." Tom asked happily.

"Alright, Akane never asked me that question but I've always wanted to." Laura, cheerfully, replied.
Later
Happosai was running from a bunch of girls, he just stole all of their panties. He just jumped out of Laura's house's second floor. He saw Laura. "HOT DOG!" He ran up and, before anyone else knew it, her grabbed her chest, if you know what I mean. "I've never seen you before.

Videl and Akane were going to interline until they saw Laura was building up in the anger dept. "Why YOU DIRTY OLD MAN!" Laura grabbed him off her chest by the neck, then she kneed him where it hurts. She didn't stop there; next she punched him in the gut and the face. She kept on beating the old man until she threw him into the air and roundhouse kicked him away.
At the Tendos
Gohan looked at the calendar. "AH! It's Goten's birthday tomorrow and I promised him I'd come cause there wasn't gonna be any school." He yelled.

"Great Gohan, and I bet you forgot to get him a gift, Videl and I didn't. I take it you'll need help." Tom said. Gohan nodded.

"I'll go with you Gohan." Videl offered. Just then Mr. Satan ran in.

"Say kid, tomorrows your little brothers birthday right, well give this to him and his friend." Mr. Satan said giving Gohan a present, then he ran off.

'Great, even Mr. Satan remembered.' Gohan thought. "Okay Videl let's hurry." The two ran off, leaving Tom and Laura in the dojo. (Oh, Ranma and Akane were eating in the kitchen not hearing a word they were saying)

"Tom, I'd like to come too, just tell me who are these people we are gonna see." Laura had a curious look on her face like she really wanted to know.

"Well, there's Bulma Briefs, daughter of Dr. Brief who is the creator of Capsule Corps. If you want a description, she's quite a good looker for her age with blue hair and she usually dresses in a red dress. There's Chi- Chi, who's the mother of Gohan and Goten. She, like Bulma, looks good for her age too. She dresses in a...a...Ha, the best I can say is some form of a martial arts outfit combined with casual clothing. Oh, you don't want to get in a fight with her cause it'll last for HOURS! Next there's 18, yes that's her name, she's another friend of the family. She's the wife of Krillien, one of Gohan's best friends. She has blonde hair and usually dresses in a black shirt, um; I think light blue pants with white in them, and a matching vest. She's the best looking of the three women there. Next there..." Tom went on and on.

Unfortunately Happosai and crawled to the door and heard everything about the DBZ women. 'WOW! I've got to see these folks, but how?' He thought hard, then he got an idea. 'That's IT!'
Later
Gohan and Videl got the gift. The four all decided to go so they'd get there by morning. "Well, see you guys in a few days." Gohan said.

"Later." Ranma said calmly.

"See you guys." Akane waved.

"Bye Bye." Kasumi said a little too happily.

The four closed the door and turned the corner, there they found a package. On it was a note and it read. "To Gohan's brother, Happy Birthday! -Ranma and friends"

"Guess they dropped it out here. That sure was nice of them. I guess they were ease dropping and heard us mention the party. Let's go!" Gohan looked happy that his new friends were that kind. When it was positive no one was around, the four started to fly (yes, Laura learned to fly as that was one of the moves of the Uni-Varse)

In the package there wasn't a gift, but a certain dirty old man. "This is too good to be true, they fell for it. Ha HA!" Suddenly Happosai started to gag. "Darn it, I knew I should have put air holes in here."
Uh oh, Happosai is heading towards the Z-Fighters party. This won't be good, what will happen next time on The Silver Fighter Meets Ranma? Find out next time after A TON OF NON-FLAME REVIES!
