Hey, thanks to those of you who reviewed my first chapter, I wouldn't have expected anyone to as it was so short. Most of my chapters will be quite short, as it is rather tedious typing this way. Oh, well, I'll take what I get! Darn, I can't even typk tiat weil. Grrr...Oh, yes, a note: this fanfic takes place during the Japanese equivalent of summer vacation, shortly after the dojo destroyer.

Disclaimer: Hmm, what do I own? My brain? Nope, sold that to science years ago. (And what did I get? A measly magic bean!) Nabiki? Yeah, I'd like to own her; well, I can always dream...

Chapter 2: A Great Plan With A Greater Maker

KEY: 'thought' "speech" flashback

'This must be the best plan I have ever thought of,' thought Nabiki Tendo smugly. 'AND I got ¥money¥ out of it! I really AM a genius...not to brag or anything.' She walked over to the file cabinet in her room and selected a file. These files held records of her every business transaction, which explained why they were overflowing. She opened the file and glanced down. 'Mission: Akane Saotome' she read in big, bold letters. She could remember devising that plan like it was yesterday...scratch that, it HAD been yesterday!

Genma and Soun approached Nabiki when no one else was around.

"Why, hello, Daddy, Mr. Saotome. And what can I do for you today?"

They were nervous at first, but then opened up.

"Nabiki, do you remember, uh, the dojo destroyer?" Genma asked nervously.

"Of course I do! That bungling attempt you two made to get Ranma and Akane together? Double kick of love and all that garbage? Now I could devise such great scheme..." Nabiki said, already planning.

"That's why we're here," Soun interposed hurriedly. "We, er, ..." he looked at Genma for assistance, and he jumped into the conversation.

"We want you to make us a plan." Genma blurted out.

"How much?" demanded Nabiki, holding out her hand.

"50, 000¥." said Genma while Soun dug it out from his pocket.

Nabiki closed her fist over the money. "Deal."

She hadn't spent much time or money on the plan, but the biggest thing had been to get the disownal form from the family lawyer, Mr. Osaka. 'Of course, I still have to buy that rubber raft,' she reminded herself, 'and there's rope and the spell scrolls to get, too...'

She decided to peruse her file to refresh her memory.

'Mission: Akane Saotome' she read.

'first page Overview :

Akane will be drugged, then taken to the beach. Ranma and Akane will have been disowned; see next page. A copy of this will be placed in a folder on a rubber raft with Akane, and she will be sent to China with the aid of a spell scroll. Ranma will be given a copy of the disownal notice the next day.

second page

DOCUMENT OF DISOWNAL

We, Genma Saotome and Soun Tendo, hereby disown and disinherit our children, Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo, until that day on which they they agree to marry on that day which they turn 18. The disowned will be exiled from the neigborhood of Nerima, and are forbidden contact with friends & family during this time.

Signed,

Genma Saotome

Soun Tendo

Kitsukei Osaka

third page To-do list (for when plan is put into action):

1. Put sleeping powder in Akane's nightly ramen.

2. Make sure Soun & Genma wake up at night and take Akane's unconsious body to the beach that faces west.

3. Load her onto rubber raft; loop the rope around her and seal with 2-hour spell scroll.

4. Stick the spell scroll saying 'China' between Akane's feet.

5. Place copy of disownal form under her head.

6. Push off!

7. Give Ranma copy of disownal document next day.'

Nabiki closed the file and sighed, then grinned evilly.
