Chp. Three- The Waakingonechan Restaurant Part One

"Welcome to the Waakingonechan Restaurant!" an old man called as Tendo, Ranma, Saotome, and Akane (in Tendo's pocket) entered.

The Waakingonechan Restaurant was completely empty, besides the old man, a girl, a few tables, and some chairs.

"Welcome, welcome," the old man said, "do sit down." His eyes adverted to Saotome, still in his panda form. "Ah... and your pet?"

IM NOT A PET.

"Well well! A very smart pe- ah, panda you have here! Do sit down. Nekona!" he called. The girl, who had been laying out chopsticks, turned around.

"Yes?"

"Bring some tea for our guests."

As the old man handed out the menus, Ranma turned to Saotome. "Neko- na? Neko? What kind of a girl has a name like Neko?"

HAVE SOME RESPECT.

"Ribbit. (I'm hungry.)"

"Well well well!! A froggy!!"

"RIBBIT! (WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!)"

"Ah.. no," Tendo replied, taking out Akane, "This is my daughter."

"WHAT?! Oh, yes, the Spring of the Sad Frog," the old man said as Nekona handed out cups of tea. "She fell in there, didn't she?"

"Yes, she did. Can you tell us about it?"

"Well, long long long long long long..."

"He means very long time ago," Nekona cut in.

"Yes, yes. Long long long long..."

"You already said that," Ranma said impatiently.

"I know. Long long-"

AHEM.

"Well, my point is, very long time ago, there was a young frog. This frog was named Bob. She was-"

"Ribbit? (She?)"

"She?" Ranma asked.

"Ribbit. (I said that.)"

"Yes, it was a female frog. Bob was very beautiful. One day a young prince human was playing with a golden ball, when he dropped in into the spring. He was crying, and Bob retrieved it for him, and made him promise to let her sleep and eat with him in his palace."

"EEEEEW."

SHUTTUP RANMA.

"Ribbit."

"Sadly, the prince broke his promise and ran away. So Bob was very sad, and she drowned in the spring."

"A frog? Drowning?" Tendo asked.

"Hmm... kinda like Akane, eh?"

"RIBBIT. (RANMA...)"

"Anyways, so from that day on, any female creature who cannot swim falls in there, they will turn into a frog," the old man concluded.

SAD INDEED, Saotome commented.

"Is there any way that we can cure Akane?"

"Hot water."

"OF COURSE!" Tendo cried, slapping himself. "Hot water!! How stupid was I?" He turned to Nekona. "A cup of hot water, please."

"And while you're at it," Ranma called as Nekona turned away, "get me one too!"

SAME HERE.

"So... would you like to order-"

"MEOWR!!"

SPLASH!

(sound of a cup breaking)

"NEKONA!" the old man cried, rushing to the kitchens. He returned with a wet cat in his arms.

"C-C-C-C-C-AAAAAAAAAT!!" Ranma cried, jumping up.

"Yes, Nekona was curse by an evil baby-sitter when she was five-"

"Wait.. an evil baby-sitter?"

The old man nodded, then turned to Ranma. "Is she okay?"

WELL... MY SON IS ... AFRAID OF CATS...

"Son? Wait... a panda's human daughter is his son?!"

"Ah.. we'll explain that later..." Tendo said, placing Akane on the table.

"Mew. (Can you turn me back now?)"

"I'll go get the hot water myself then." The old man took Nekona and and raced back into the kitchen.

A minute later...

Nekona came back out with a tray of cups, filled with hot water. Though she was dripping wet, she acted as if nothing had ever happened.

Gratefully, Saotome, Ranma, and Akane (with some help from Tendo) poured hot water onto themselves. They ordered some food and as the old man and Nekona went back into the kitchens, Ranma, Saotome, and Tendo discussed their position (a/n: sounds weird, eh?) as Akane yelled and screamed about being a frog.

"What do we do now?" Ranma asked over Akane's yells.

"I WAS A SLIMY FROG! AND ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!!" Akane yelled, slapping her father.

"HEY! It was Genma's fault!"

Genma turned to his son. "Ranma, there's something suspicious about that old man, Nekona, and this Waaking- whatever restaurant..."
