This is my first fan fic using Gundam Wing. The writing is a bit rough but the story is quite cute and captivating. If you like the zaniness of Ranma and love teasing poor chauvinistic Wufei then you'll like this story. The tale takes place in an alternate universe where the Gundam boys head to a remote and isolated part of China then Japan where people have continue to live in a traditional and old fashion way of life. Along the way Wufei suffers from the misfortune of falling into the Jensuki (the sacred hot springs) in China. He becomes that which he most loathes, a weak woman. Rate PG13 this story is mostly fun no real smut although lots of insinuations.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing and never will however I do enjoy writing fan fics although I don't make a penny off of them (truly). GW and Ranma are own by other people not me.
STRANGE TRIP
Part 13
"It was a ship, a ship that was hidden in the lake and then flew off into space," Akane said to the family later that evening. "It was hidden in the lake."
"Oh, you guys are full of it. You want us to believe that aliens stole Shampoo and her grandmother," Ribbiki laughed.
"My what imaginations you guys have," Consumi added.
Ranma and Akane's fathers found the whole thing hilarious. The two couldn't stop laughing.
"They weren't aliens. I think—I think they were, I don't know something else," Ranma huffed.
"It really happened," Akane shouted. "Ryoga show them."
"Here is all the money that guy Wufei gave me," Ryoga said pulling out the wad of money. It was still damp but quite real.
"Oh!" The group said as one.
"Is this money real?" Ribbiki asked
"Of course," Ryoga said.
"Well Ryoga honey, you need a girlfriend," Ribbiki said sliding up close to him.
"No, we need to call the authorities and report a kidnapping," Akane complained.
"Akane, they are not going to believe us any more than these clowns," Ranma said angrily.
"Hey, I'll believe anything for a couple thousand yen," Ribbiki added.
"Boy, why would space aliens come here to steal one woman," Ranma's dad questioned.
"I don't know why but that guy wanted to marriage Shampoo."
"Well he told me he wanted to find a way to get rid of the curse. He believed it had something to do with punishment and honor. He said that they had just recently came from China," Ryoga said thoughtfully.
"You're right, Ryoga. That's what I got from him too. Also, Heero was very interested in the dojo's and ancient fighting styles. In fact when he found out that Shampoo's grandmother had taught you a very powerful style he got all excited. That's when they grabbed Shampoo and her grandmother," Akane confirmed.
"Then if what you're saying is true, they must believe they know a way to cure the curse," Ranma's father said excitedly.
"That's not possible if Shampoo's grandmother knew a cure then wouldn't she have told us," Ranma reasoned.
"Not if you're not part of the package Ranma," Akane added.
"Why that old witch has been holding out on us," Ranma said angrily.
"My feelings exactly, boy." Genma agreed.
"Well if that Wufei guy is going to marry Shampoo then they must head back to Shampoo's clan," Ranma told the group.
"Give me the money that guy gave you," Ranma told Ryoga.
"No you're suppose to have beaten him first," Ryoga said.
"Don't be stupid. I'll beat him right after I crash his wedding," Ranma laughed.
"That's the spirit boy and of course you'll need your old man beside you."
"I'm coming too. Rescuing pretty girls is my specialty," Happosai added.
"More like girls needing to be rescue from you," Ranma said meanly. "Or should I say boys."
"Why you young punk, telling lies on an old man," Happosai said with tears of hurt in his eyes.
"Now is not the time for fighting we have packing to do," Akane called to the family. "With all the money Ryoga got, we can all fly down there by tomorrow."

Shampoo and her mother were secured. Quatre and Trowa nursed their wounds, especially Quatre since Shampoo had infected the most damage on the small blond man. Already their ship was nearly out of earth's orbit.
"Come in, Wufei," Heero said opening the docking door. Wufei did not want to enter and reveal himself to the others but there was no way of getting to his room unnoticed. Damn, Heero for being a pushy bastard, he thought.
"What the hell do you think your doing," said a female voice from the docking door. The group turned surprise marring their faces.
"Hey, how did you get in here," Duo asked. "Wow, this is great! We solve the mission and get two babes to celebrate with."
"No, we don't" Heero said walking over to the red head with a large drinking container. He slowing poured the contents on the woman. It was full of hot water. There before their eyes Wufei appeared and a group of shocked breaths filled the room.
"Wow!" Duo exclaimed.
"What an incredible trick, Heero how did you do it," Quatre marveled.
Trowa didn't reply. For the first time it was due because he was actually shocked speechless.
"It's not a trick it's a curse," Wufei confessed.
"A what?" Duo questioned.
"I have been cursed. While I was in China," Wufei admitted.
"Because you are dishonorable and I will never marry someone like you," Shampoo said hotly.
"Or you saying that you were that girl I have been seeing all along," Duo asked ignoring Shampoo's heated statement.
"Don't act surprised," Heero accursed.
"What do you mean?" Duo replied innocently.
"Duo you knew about this," Quatre said still reeling from shock.
"No he didn't," Wufei answered for him. "I have been shamed my the ancestors."
"That's no surprised seeing the dirty trick you just pull," Shampoo yelled. "You were to defeat Ranma, not kidnap Shampoo."
"I had nothing to do with them taking you," Wufei denied.
"It doesn't matter birds of a feather. They are your friends right," Shampoo hissed.
"It's been ages since some man had tried to spirit me off," Shampoo's grandmother laughed. She was tickled pink by the whole situation. "And though I find this amusing my granddaughter is right. You did not win her hand in an honorable fight so I will not help you."
"Heero you have to release them," Wufei demanded.
"No."
"What are we really kidnapping two civilians, Heero release them," Wufei said taken aback.
"No."
"Heero I won't allow this."
"Wufei stand down," Heero commanded.
"No I won't."
"You will, I am commanding this mission and I said stand down," Heero said firmly walking up to Wufei and meeting him nose to nose.
"Heero, I must win Shampoo honorably or this curse can't be lifted," Wufei said his voice atremble.
"Your wrong Wufei what happened to you will be removed, I'm sure of it," Heero said confidently. "Especially since I believe it is the working of this woman," Heero said indicating Shampoo's grandmother, Cologne.
"Foolish man grandmother had nothing to do with the curse."
"That's correct you are mistaken young man," Shampoo's grandmother affirmed.
"No it is you who is mistaken. You will remove what was done to Wufei," Heero told her.
"You had better release us or grandmother will put a worse curse on all of you," Shampoo threatened. Unfortunately this only seemed to confirm Heero's suspicions.
"You don't frighten me young man. There is nothing you can do to me besides if you wanted us dead you would have killed us already," Shampoo grandmother said boldly.
"Actually we only wanted you, the girl is expendable," Heero said watching her as what he said sank in.
Shampoo's grandmother glanced at the other young men and saw that they were not happy with the threat but the looks on their faces showed that they were just as ruthless. The innocent blond seemed sad but his eyes were resolute, the one with the long braid frowned but had determined eyes, the slim one stared at her blankly with one dead green eye and Wufei was angry but his eyes were steadfast. They would not stop him. This was no bluff.
Actually Shampoo's grandmother did know of place that held a cure but she was only going to tell the young man about it if he had turned out to be a rotten husband for her Shampoo. The place was too dangerous and survival near impossible. It was the Lake of True Reflection.
"I will tell you of a place that may hold a cure for the curse on your friend but only a warrior of the most stoutest heart may survive it. But before I do you must let us go unharmed."
"He'll survive it or she dies. Now tell us," Heero commanded.
