The classic morning ritual of Ranma beating the snot out of Genma and then putting him into a state of furriness had change since the new contract was made. Now Ranma begins her mornings arguing to her mom that she shouldn't have to wear this dress or that skirt because she is a guy while Nodoka counters "Not right now your not" and demands Ranma to wear said dress or said skirt. Afterwards Ranma storms off to her room where she puts on the dress, but little does Nodoka know Ranma had stopped wearing her scanty bra and panties and switched to boxers she just couldn't see the need for them it was also the only way Ranma could think of to rebel against his mother at this point.

However this morning was slightly different Ranma was now concerned of the issue of going to school as a girl. Where the boys would drool and the Kuno's would rhyme and the insanity of her day generally begins.

"Mom can I wear slacks today?"

"I don't know Ranma-chan I think you should wear a skirt you look nice in skirts."

"But But….." Ranma had to think of something

"But all my skirts are dirty."

"All of them?"

"Yep"

"And you're dresses."

"Yes, so can I wear slacks, PLEASE."

Akane stared in shock, she rarely ever hears Ranma say please. Maybe the girl-in-training was starting to turn around.

Nodoka sighed "Ok, but only because you have been so good lately."

Somewhere deep inside it hurt Ranma to lie to his mother but Ranma at the moment despised his mother she had gone insane, assuming he was a girl. But Ranma could stomach it.

"Thank you very much."

Nodoka smiled "That was very polite of you Ranma, I am proud of what a proper lady you are being."

"Yes Ranma you're a very proper young WOMAN." teased Nabiki.

"Don't tease her Nabiki Ranma-chan is doing very well." interrupted Kasumi.

"Guys stop, I don't like being called a lady."

"Well then." interjected Genma who for the past few days had been playing shogi sleeping or in the dojo trying his best to avoid Nodoka even if his seppuku contract was up she was still a scary woman.

"Ranma my bo… er daughter you need to go to school and see if they will let you in as a girl."

"Ranma hoped and prayed that it wouldn't be allowed"

Tatawaki Kuno hated his father for who he is, but the truth is the Tatawaki is a lot like his father when he describes any fair maiden he addresses them by there hair the 'raven crown of Akane Tendo' or the 'Flame haired Goddess' the 'pig tailed girl' yes Kuno was much more like his father than he would ever admit but of course he is also blind to this fact.

Right now Kuno was in his deep meditation wondering why Ranko his love was now wearing dresses, yesterdays incident at the dining resort of Okinomiyaki Ucchan's had left him all but baffled why were they saying Saotome was wearing a dress? And exactly how did those two Chinese citizens turn into animals it must be some strange magic that was beyond his comprehension.

"Master I bring great news."

"What is it my dear Sasuke? You are interrupting my meditation."

"Yes Master, I'm sorry but I you're loyal servant have discovered something wonderful it is about you're beloved Ranko."

"Come man tell me what you know."

"Yes master, it appears that Ranko will be starting school at Furinkan today. That is if you're father will let her."

"And why would he not."

"That I do not know master."

"Then I will take responsibility and discuss with my father the importance of a good Education, for the one I love cannot be illiterate or else how would she be able to enjoy my exquisite poetry and extraordinary vocabulary."

"You do have wonderful sense of literature upon you master."

"And why should I not, now be gone I must finish my meditation."

"So keiki want to go ta school as girl."

"No."

"Ranma behave you're self." chided Nodoka "That is correct, is there anyway we can arrange this."

The principle thought for a moment "Well I suppose I can arrange that, but only if keiki gets a proper haircut."

"Hey I do not want a haircut from you of all people!"

"Ranma you have to respect authority. May I ask what kind of haircut this is."

The principle showed her a picture of his female cut style. Nodoka's eyes sharpened "My daughter will NOT have her hair cut that way!"

"Well then Keiki won't be able to come to school."

"Hold it right there you vile excuse for a father." as Kuno barged in "The flame haired Ranko needs to have a fine education if I am to wed her."

"And who said you would get to marry me!"

Nodoka leaned over and whispered into Ranma's ear "Why is this man calling you Ranko?"

"It's a long story mom."

"Really well if you are ta be Tachi's bride then you need a splendid education."

"But I'm not Going to be Kuno's Bride."

"Ranma just pretend so we can get into school." Nodoka begged

"No mom I wanna go as a guy."

"Ranma that's not possible you need to stay a girl."

"But I miss hot water, and staying a girl is really causing more harm then good."

Nodoka blinked "Really you seem more at peace, you are hardly in fights anymore."

"That's just it I need to have a fight to calm down I am so stressed out."

"Really well I can fix that." Nodoka winked and gave a warm friendly smile

Kuno then overheard there conversation and noted something. "Excuse me mam but why do you call Ranko, Ranma."

"That's her name Ranma."

"I See clearly Saotome has gotten to you using some sorts of sorcery."

"No that's not it." Nodoka said.

"Hmmm, Perhaps you are right Saotome is not that smart, he must have had aid from the Chinese shape shifters."

"Are you saying my son is stupid."

Ranma brightened a little after that since the contract she had not heard Nodoka call Ranma her son. She was glad to hear that Nodoka still knew who she was.

"Forgive me, I mean my Daughter."

Oh well.

"No Ranko is not stupid."

"It's Ranma."

"Mom lets get out of here Kuno isn't going to understand."

"Just a minute. So Ranma can go to school as a girl?"

"Yes, but Keiki will be under watch and will have to wear a Uniform."

Ranma sighed she hated wearing a skirt and she hated the Furinkan uniform even more.
