Ranma And The Beanstalk
By: Psuriko
Disclaimer: Ranma ½ is a trademark of Rumiko Takahashi and I won´t make a profit of it, same thing with the original creator of the fairy tale "Jack and the beanstalk".
Some parts of this story will probably follow the Jack and the beanstalk version pretty closely, while other parts could be quite different(and I would probably make most of them VERY different. ).
Author's note: I´m just trying make my own Ranma½ fairy tale after reading the
"Little Red Ranko Hood" fanfic, hopefully no one have made a similar fanfic like the
I´m trying to do. Also of note: I have improved the first part of my fairy tale.

SCENE 1: THE BEAUTIFUL FURINKAN VALLEY
Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a valley called "Furinkan Valley" in Nerima of Japan.
The land was prosperous thanks to the beautiful singing wonder Akane Tendo, who sang
on the public operahouse in every Sunday evening.
Ranma: Since when can THaT tomboy sing good when she even can´t cook something edible !?
Akane: RANMA NO BAKA! hits him on the head with the infamous "Mallet of doom" and sends him
straight into oblivion. (well, actually just to the next block -;)
Ryoga: I´m NOT, Ranma´s friend!!
Author: There, there, please can we now move on with the play, pleeeeeease?
Shows those BIG sad puppy eyes
Everyone: … … … Sorry
Author: Jolly good, let´s continue.
Ranma lived in the Tendo Farm with his fianceé Akane and her familiy.
Every Sunday evening Akane went to the public operahouse to sing in most of the plays , but on one perticular Sunday something unusual happened. The whole Furinkan Valley went pitch black, when a strange dark spherical object, (with its disastrous "bong, bong, jingle, klonk!) swept over the valley. When the dark object vanished, the singing wonder Akane Tendo was nowhere to be found. Without the power of Akane´s magical voice, the Furinkan Valley begane to wither, turning the land to a wasteland. It was hard to imagine that this wasteland was former a properous valley.
SCENE 2: THE TENDO DOJO
Narrator: The Tendo Farm had financial troubles to buy food, due to Nabiki the auditor comes
home announcing that she's just spent all the household money of Tendo Farm on some
luxurous cloths from Paris. The Household now only had a few bowls of ramen and a few
nikuman as well left to eat, so they decided to sell their only cow to have something to
eat until the okonomiyaki crops would be ready to be harvest during the next harvest-
moon.
Ranma: Since when do we have a cow, and why can´t we just have bacon bits for dinner?
Ranma holds P-chan in a neckgrip
P-Chan: Kwee, kwee kwee... KWEE!! O.O
P-chan panics and tries to bite Ranma in desperation to get loose of his grip
The author suddenly pops up behind a bush
Author: Since it says clearley in the script shows Ranma the manuscript
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/ (Part of manuscript) /
/ "NO PIGLETS are consumed neither in the making of this fairy tale or during the play" /
/ and the actors are supposed to follow the manuscript without complainments, or else /
/ they will have to pay for the consequenses!" /
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranma: I don´t believe you, he says in his macho-way.
Author: Ok, you asked for it . Picks up a cat from nowhere and shoves it into Ranma´s face
Ranma: Gyyyyyyyaaaaaaaa!, yo, yo, you cheater twitches between each word.
Author: Do you understand the consequenses now? Perhaps we can move on in this play now
, shall we?
Ranma: Okay, okay I get it, fine just get THaT cat of me!
P-chan: Phew! ;
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Kasumi: Ranma, could you please go the catcafé and try to trade our cow for some ramen?
Ranma: Sure I could, since I´m starting to getting hungry.
SCENE 3: BARGAIN AT THE NEKOHANTEN
Narrator: Ranma hurried with the cow on his back to the catcafé to try trade the cow for ramen.
(without Cologne trying to get Ranma married to Shampoo)
Shampoo: Aiya! Nihao Ranma, Airen ditched tomboy and want to take Shampoo on date after
Shampoo finish work, yes? glomps Ranma really hard.
Ranma: No, I was only coming here to trade the stupid cow for some ramen.
Tries to get Shampoo´s grip of him before he suffocates from lack of oxygen
Cologne: This cow looks very used son-in-law, not worth much, but since you are son-in-law I´ll
give you a special offer. Quick-growing Mushrooms!
Ranma: What! Measly mushrooms for a cow!
Cologne: Quick-growing mushrooms, son-in-law, they will grow fast and large during night.
Ranma: … That was the most stupid thing I´ve ever heard, I won´t trade for mushrooms!
Narrator: And Ranma agreed to trade.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ranma: What!, I didn´t even do that.
Author: Yes, you DO! As it says so in the script. narrator pulls up a cat from nowhere
Ranma: Gyaaaaaa! … OK, ok, as along as you take away that cat! whimpers in a corner
mumbles: Some day I´m going to pay you back for doing this.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
SCENE 4: RETURN TO THE TENDO FARM
Narrator: And Ranma went back to the Tendo Farm with the mushrooms and got scolded by Soun
for his lack of skill to know how to make a bargain.
Soun: Ranma! Isn´t it enough that I lost my youngest daughter and YOUR fiancee´! How could
you trade our only cow for a few mushrooms, when we said that you were supposed to
trade for bowls of ramen, not moldy MUSHROOMS! Kicks Ranma outside of the farm along
with the mushrooms And find out where Akane went and bring her back to the Tendo Farm!
Narrator: Ranma decided it was best to sleep outside tonight.
During the fullmoon night, the moon started to shine on the quick-growing mushrooms
and started to glow…
Author: Please read and review what you say about this story so far now when it have been
improved.
Author´s note: Thank you Baron Hausenpheffer for reviewing my story, it really encouraged me to
to improve my first fanfic during this weekend (also to send in the second part
before christmas) and as you suggested I solved the capitalization problems in a
more suiting way. I didn´t really spell "Shampoo" wrong, actually you can
blame me for using the Swedish translation of "Shampoo". ;
I have now even if most of you can´t see, improved parts of the fairy-tale
to make it more autentic to a Ranma-version of"Jack and the beanstalk" in
a "modern touch".
