Selene was walking down the street in which the Tendo's lived, and she was three minutes late. She hoped that Ranma would wait a little bit longer considering how she was practically on the other side of town. Reaching the top of the hill she saw a figure standing by a door. The figure was waving at her and she was walking a little bit faster. The figure turned out to be Ranma and he was smiling. She smiled back and waved. He asked her if she had any things that she needed.
"Not that I need right now. I can get my stuff tomorrow." Selene replied. "Do you think I could come inside?" She pointed to the open door.
"Yeah, come in. I'll tell Soun about you." Ranma guided her inside, and told her to go into the living room (which he told her how to get to). The family was eating dinner and Selene found Ranma seated next to a girl wearing a pink dress on top of a white shirt, which she knew was Akane, and a giant panda. Everyone but Ranma and a giant panda stopped eating.
"Hi." Selene said meekly. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm looking for Soun Tendo." Selene saw that the panda and Ranma were pointing to a man, well into his forties. He had black hair down a little bit past his shoulders; he was wearing a faded black male kimono.
He cleared his throat and said, "I am Soun Tendo, and you are?"
"I'm Selene Evangelina Ira. I'm the daughter of Ajax Ira." Selene saw Soun's face light up and his eyes were shining.
"Eva...is that you?" Soun asked.
"Eva is a nickname right?" Selene was questioning him. Soun nodded his head. "Yeah, then I am." She reached into her pocket and pulled out the envelope that her father wrote. "My father said to give this to you...but when you're done with it can I have it back?" She handed the note to Soun. "It's one of the only things I have from him." Her face was down, and they heard the note of sorrow in her voice. Soun was flipping open the envelope and letter and skimmed through it, mumbling the words as he read.
"So, your father is using all of my debts for this favor." Soun said.
"Actually it's two favors." Selene said. "One is if you could take me in, and the other is if you could finish my training that my father started." She pointed down at the bottom of the letter. "Father said it aloud as he wrote, in case his writing didn't look legible."
"Oh...Ok." Soun said his hand was on his chin. "Let me talk it over with everyone else." Selene nodded her head and walked outside. She took a deep breath and jumped into the air. She landed on the roof of the house and she sat there breathing trying to figure out what they were going to do. Selene stopped herself from actually thinking about what was happening, so instead she thought about her past.
