Chapter 25: Rhythm! Musa's New Groove!
Saotome residence…
"Well, ladies, it's that time again…" said Zing.
Bloom, Stella, Flora, and Musa sat before the cosplaying Pixie as she hovered over the wheel. Currently, said wheel was altered to only have four sections, each with a girl's headshot. Tecna and Layla were sitting at the side watching.
"Wow, only the four of us are left." Said Flora as she looked at the wheel.
"Who will it be next? I'm quite anxious…" said Bloom as she held her hands.
"It'll all be good in the end." Added Musa.
"Do it, Zing! I can't take the suspense!" said an exasperated Stella.
"Alrighty then!" said Zing. "Let's do this!"
Ranma's bonded Pixie places her hand on the wheel and gave it a spin. The music starts.
Opening (Bleach style, Asterisk)
Zoom on the wheel as it becomes a spinning CD.
Miageta yozora no hoshitachi no hikari (Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky)
Ranma leaps down from the side. A close-up of Musa's body passes by, changing the scene. Shots of Nodoka, Shampoo, Ukyou, and the Pixies are seen.
Miageta yozora no hoshitachi no hikari (Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky)
Ranma looks at the camera as it moves upward, showing Musa some distance behind him looking into the background. On either side between them were Bloom, Stella, Flora, Tecna, and Layla taking poses. One by one, they vanish, leaving only Ranma and Musa behind.
We see Ranma split his forms, both standing back to back as shots of the cast whisk by. Screen whites out to show the 'Ranma Club' logo, which then takes a metallic look.
Hitotsu futatsu kane no ne wa hibiku (Once, twice, the bell toll echoes...)
Kokoro no naka e to hiroku fukaku (deeply,terrible, in my heart.)
Monogatari no youna hoshi no shizuku (As a story tells, the rock will sink)
Sono naka ni hosoi senro wo kizuku (With the best of Rock 'n' roll inside)
On top of Furinkan High, the Specialists, in their casuals, stand in a circular formation surrounding Ranma and looking outward. The camera goes between showing shots of Nabu, Timmy, Riven, Helia, Brandon, and Sky, just before going on Ranma, whose eyes snap open.
Jikan to tomo ni jidai wa ugoku (eventually, time will begin its trek,)
Musa stands out on the streets.
Nagareru hoshi wa shizuka ni ugoku (as the rock sink silently lower)
Layla and Tecna gaze in opposite directions via vertical split-screen.
Me wo tojite mimi wo sumaseba (Fine, get it over with for the world, the earth, and the people.)
Bloom, Stella, and Flora suddenly turn their heads towards the camera in a three-way split-screen.
G-O-O-D BYE
Ranma mouths "G-O-O-D BYE" while waving.
Hanate hikari makezu ni shikkari ima (Bring the flowers and the light into view)
Toki wo koe dareka ni todoku made (Fire 'em off until they reach someone.)
Shadow silhouettes of the Specialists are seen. They suddenly converge together until they become a shadow silhouette of Ranma. He then walks off.
Eikou no hikari wa kono mukou ni (The light of the sun is just on the other side,once)
KIMItachi to tsukutteiku SUTO-RI- (you start messing with it, it'll seem easy)
Kiko's shadow hops in and looks about. Ranma's shadow walks back in and beckon's to Kiko's shadow, which he happily hops over to and leave together.
A shot of Ranma walking on the chain link fence.
Miageta yozora no hoshitachi no hikari (Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky)
Inishie no omoi negai ga jidai wo koe (The era when we sharpened our feelings we'd never known)
Iroaseru (your voice is fading...)
Dont act a fool
Ranma runs through the streets, pursued by his enemies: Ryoga, Kuno, Principal Kuno, Happosai, Genma, and Soun. They surround him and attack, but then Ranma quickly retaliates with his magic-enhanced Anything-Goes style, beating them all senseless.
KIRARI hitomi ni utsuru dareka no sakebi (Our eyes sparkle as someone finally screams)
Kaze ni omoi wo tsuki ni negai wo (thoughts in the wind, wishes to the moon)
Chikara aru kagiri ikiteikunda kyou mo (I'll live as strong as I can today)
The Winx fly up in their Enchantix forms. Bloom and Stella come up and shoot at the camera with a mixed beam of fire and light, obscuring everything. The girls quickly scatter in different directions.
Miageta yozora no hoshitachi no hikari (Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky)
Inishie no omoi negai ga jidai wo koe (The era when we sharpened feelings we'd never known)
Iroaseru (your voice is fading...)
Dont act a fool
Ranma stands as the camera spins around him very fast. The ;Ranma Club; logo appears with headshots of Ranma and Musa, turning their heads towards the camera.
Bokura no omoi mo itsuka dareka no mune ni (One day our feelings will reach someone's heart)
Hikari tsuzukeyou ano hoshi no you ni (Shine on, Like that star)
Zooming out, we see headshots of Nodoka, Bloom, Shampoo, Flora, Stella, Ukyou, Layla, and Tecna surround the title.
End opening
Front gates…
Ranma had arrived outside of the house. Opening the gates, he sees Musa standing in the front yard as if she were waiting for him.
"Welcome back, Ranma!" Musa greeted.
"Hey there, Musa." Ranma returned. "What's going on?"
Musa said nothing as she went up to Ranma and took his arm in hers. "What's going on is that today, I've got you all to myself!"
Ranma was immediately flustered. "Huh? Hey, hold on, I-"
Before he could protest any further, Musa dragged Ranma out the gates.
Streets of Nerima, entertainment district…
Ranma and Musa walked arm in arm among the crowds in the street, the lights from the store signs illuminating the area. The entertainment district tended to be crowded on the weekends, as expected.
"Wow, this place is pretty lively!" said Musa.
Ranma had to agree, although he never really experienced this sort of atmosphere before, due to his constant training regiment in the past. He was never given the moment to have fun for himself, for as a martial artist, everything should be devoted to the Art. Ranma grumbled inwardly at that thought. He recalled Soun and Genma saying the same thing, 'martial arts isn't something that's done on the weekends or after school, but twenty-four hours a day'. Of course, they only used that as an excuse to not go with Happosai to the public baths that one time.
It was then that something caught the Musical Faerie's attention.
"Ooh, Ranma! Check that out!"
Ranma turned to see what Musa was referring to. Over to his right was a video arcade. The entrance was wide open to display the games inside. There was one in particular that was sitting front and center at the entrance as if to greet the customers. It consisted of one large monitor with several speakers lining its sides, and two platforms with four directional arrows on each. The monitor displayed rising arrows of the ones on the platforms at a moderate speed while showing what looked like a music video in the background. A larger screen hanging over the front of the establishment displayed the same thing like a movie to show the street crowds. It was currently playing some upbeat music as two people were using the machine, drawing a crowd.
"Good! Keep it going!"
"Excellent!"
"All right!"
"You're burnin' up the dance floor!"
Ranma looked confused while Musa looked excited.
"What's going on over there?" asked Ranma.
Musa looked shocked when she heard Ranma say this. "You mean you've never heard of DDE, Ranma?"
"DDE?" asked a confused Ranma.
"It stands for Dance Dance Evolution (1), only the greatest dancing game ever!" replied Musa. "We always had these back on my homeworld." Once the two people were done and cheered off, Musa wasted no time. "C'mon, Ranma! Let's do it!"
"Huh? But I don't-"
"Oh all right, I'll at least show you how it's done." Musa inserts her yen into the machine and hits start. She chooses to go with the "heavy mode" difficulty and toggles through the song list. She finally selects 'Butterfly!'. (2)
"Are you ready? Let's Dance!"
Ay, iyaiyai,
Ay, iyaiyai
A-a-a iyaiyai,
Where's my samurai
The beats started and the arrows on the screen flew upward at a fast pace. Musa immediately started dancing to the beats.
Ay, ay, ay,
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Ranma stood in awe as he observed Musa dancing on the machine, stepping in perfect sync with the beats. She was soon starting to draw a crowd who started to cheer her on.
Where's my samurai
Where's my samurai
I've been searching for a man
All across Japan
Just to find, to find my samurai
Someone who is strong
But still a little shy
Yes I need, I need my samurai
Musa takes a moment to wink at Ranma at the end of the line before resuming, not missing a beat.
Ay, ay, ay,
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Where's my samurai
Where's my samurai
The music beats showed no signs of slowing as Musa picked up the pace.
I've been searching in the woods
And high upon the hills
Just to find, to find my samurai
Someone who won't regret
To keep me in his net
Yes I need, I need my samurai
Ay, ay, ay,
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
She stomps on the last beat, ending the song. There was a resounding cheer among the watchers.
"Wow! She's great!"
"Just like a professional!"
"No way! 388 perfects!?"
"She never missed a beat!"
Musa takes a bow to her audience, then turned to look at Ranma.
"So what do you think of it, Ranma?" she asked.
Ranma was impressed at her moves. "Wow, that was great!"
"Now why don't you give it a try?"
The pigtailed boy gulped. "Uh…"
"I'm sure someone like you would be able to do this easily!"
Ranma decides to step up to the plate, his ego inflated. "I guess it wouldn't hurt." Going to the other platform, Ranma inserts his yen, the machine announcing the coming of a new challenger. Since he was a newcomer, he puts his on the normal difficulty.
"Let's see… what song to go with this time?" said Musa as she cycles through the playlist. She smiled and selected 'Don't Stop!' from the choices. As it was loading, she looked over to Ranma. "Just step on the corresponding arrows when they reach the top of the screen. Don't be too fast or too slow. Timing to the beats is everything."
Ranma nods in understanding as the song begins. Immediately, the arrows started to fly upwards and the two teens began dancing.
Don't ever stop, don't ever quit
Don't ever
Don't ever
Don't ever
Don't
Don't
Don't ever, ever, ever, ever
Yes, if I win
Then you are my friend
You are the best thing that ever happened to me
During the instrumental, Ranma and Musa continued to step to the beats. For Ranma, it took some getting used to. He may have missed a few beats, but he managed to recover.
Don't ever
Don't ever
Don't
Don't
Don't ever, ever, ever
Yes, if I win
Win, win
Win, win
Win, win
Don't ever stop, don't ever quit
Don't ever quit your love for me
By now, Ranma was flowing with the music. Musa looked over to him proud before moving on.
Yes, if I win
Then you are my friend
You are the best thing that ever happened to me
No one could ever come between you and me, baby
Because we know what friends should be
Ranma steps to the beats as the song goes into its final chorus lines.
Don't ever stop, don't ever quit
Don't ever quit your love on me
Yes, if I win
Then you are my friend
You are the best thing that ever happened to me
Musa and Ranma stomp the arrows at the final beat of the song.
The crowds applauded the show and wanted to see more. Musa wasn't one to disappoint.
"So how did it feel?" she asked.
"It felt… great actually!" replied Ranma. "You're right, it's fun!"
"Told ya!" Musa smirked. "But you're still under me!"
Ranma could feel his competitive drive welling up. "Oh, you're on!"
Sometime later…
Ranma and Musa became the main attraction of the arcade as they danced to the music. After a few songs, Ranma was able to work his way to doing the heavy mode difficulty. Thanks to his martial arts training, his endurance was quite high.
"This is the final stage, Ranma." Said Musa.
"Indeed." Said Ranma.
Both have worked up a sweat from the dancing and so far, they were matching beat for beat. Ranma, despite being a newcomer, had been able to grasp the gameplay of DDE. To Musa, that was quite impressive. They got ready for the next song: 'Synchronized Love'.
Everybody jumping
Jumping
Jumping
Jump....let's go!
They jumped to the beats as the onlookers cheered them on.
It's got to be your love
The only love I call
And you're
You are the angel of my life
Ranma and Musa continued to step perfects to each beat.
It's got to be my heart
Being beside you all night long, and oh
I wanna be closer to you, my love
Until the day I die
I'll be your everything
Hey, whoa oh whoa oh-oh (whoa oh whoa oh-oh)
Whoa oh oh oh!
At the break, they strike a pose before the beats resume.
Let's go!
Won't you take my hand
And I will be your man
So tonight will come
Dance the night away
One and one is two
Don't you be so cruel
Synchronized love is what we've got to do
By now, Ranma and Musa were dancing in perfect sync with each other.
All the time, we'll be together
Cos yours and mine
Forever we're in this love
Won't you take my hand
And I will be your man
So tonight will come
Dance the night away
One and one is two
Don't you be so cruel
Synchronized love is what we've got to do
All the time, we'll be together
Cos yours and mine
Forever we're in this love, babe
Once the song ended, there was a resounding cheer from the crowds, which had gotten bigger from when they first showed up. Each of them had never missed a beat, resulting in a tied score.
"I don't believe it! They both got the exact same score!"
"That's never happened before!"
"So unreal!"
"Totally awesome!"
Ranma and Musa turned and bowed to the crowds before getting off.
"Thank you all! You've been so kind!" said Musa.
As they left the arcade, people tried to play the DDE machine in hopes of beating the latest high scores.
"I've never done anything like that before." Said Ranma.
"Life's about new experiences, Ranma." Said Musa.
"You're right. I'm glad you showed it to me, Musa."
Musa smiled and held Ranma's arm as they walked down the street.
Later at a sushi bar…
Around dinnertime, Ranma's stomach had begun to growl, much to his embarrassment. Musa only giggled at this. Fortunately, they were nearby a sushi bar. They decided to go check it out.
Sitting at the bar, they took their orders. Ranma took a platter of salmon rolls while Musa took some spicy tuna rolls.
"The sushi tastes great!" said Musa.
"Well, they are a delicacy here." Said Ranma as he popped a roll in his mouth.
"You know, you were pretty good at that DDE, despite it being your first time."
"Well, I kinda figured dancing is a lot like martial arts. Like going between stances or dodging. It's not always about hitting, you know."
"You ARE fast, I'll tell you that."
"I had to be, considering how many crazy people have been after me in the past." Ranma thought back to all the times he got into fights with most of the NWC, always dodging them like nothing before doing any counter attacks or snide remarks. In any case, if he wasn't fast enough, he would've gotten himself killed.
"Point taken." Musa recalled much of Ranma's Nerima troubles from being in Furinkan alone. Being forced to always be on your toes is pretty daunting.
It was then that the lights dimmed and spotlights illuminated a small platform in the back of the sushi bar. This grabbed everyone's attention as an announcer came up to the platform with two mic stands. Tapping on one, he calls out to the customers.
"Good evening everyone! I hope you all are enjoying you food here! Tonight is open karaoke mic night!"
All the customers clapped to the announcement and stopped to allow him to continue.
"The night is still young, and music is just what the doctor ordered! Now, we shall have a spotlight roulette. The one or ones the light shines on shall give us a show! Now who shall rock the house?"
A drum roll track plays as the spotlights started to swerve everywhere in the darkened restaurant. Finally, the drum roll track was replaced by a crashing symbol track as the spotlights converged on two certain people at the bar.
Ranma became extremely nervous at being put on the spot as the lights shone over him and Musa.
"Aaaaaaaand, here's our first couple!"
Musa and Ranma blushed at the 'couple' part.
"Come on up, you two! Don't be shy now!"
Musa immediately got up, then grabbed Ranma to follow her to center stage. "Let's do it, Ranma!"
"Hey wait! I don't-" said a reluctant Ranma.
"C'mon! This could be fun!" Musa urged.
The announcer smiled as the two teens came up and got behind a mic stand.
"Don't worry, the lyrics will show up nice and clear on those HD monitors up there." The announcer pointed to said monitors hanging up above. "You two might thank me for this." With those words, he leaves the platform.
'Believe me, Mister, I already am…' Musa thought as she looked at a nervous Ranma.
'But real guys don't sing karaoke…' Ranma thought to himself. He looks over to Musa, who gave him a reassuring smile, making his nervousness go down a bit.
When the opening piano music started, Ranma's nervousness came back to the fore. Willing himself to calm down, he looked up to the monitor as it counted down his cue. He sang in a rather shaky tone.
Ranma: Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
He looked down as his first verse was over, then his head popped back up when he heard Musa sing angelically.
Musa: I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart yeah!!
To all the possibilities
Ooooh…
Feeling entranced by her, Ranma gained some confidence and started to sing along with her.
Both: I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight
At this time, everyone in the restaurant had been pulled into the song as all attention went to the two teens.
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Oooooh…
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Before he knew it, Ranma started to bop to the music. He pulled the mic off of its stand.
Ranma: Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight
Musa followed Ranma's lead and started to bop to the music.
Musa: And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side
Ranma and Musa gazed at each other as they sang their hearts out.
Both: I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real
The restaurant came alive as the customers started to clap and dance to the beats around the platform.
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Ranma sang with more confidence as he attached his mic to the stand and dipped it towards Musa.
Ranma: I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
Musa: I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
They let out a high note before continuing.
Both: It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Oooooh!
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
At the last lines, Ranma and Musa gazed into each other's eyes. As far as they were concerned, they were the only ones there. Musa nearly falls backward from the platform, but was quickly caught by a customer and pushed back on, making her stumble closer to Ranma. They both blush at the close proximity to each other, but quickly resumed the next verse.
That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Ranma: Start of something new
Musa: Start of something new
As the music fades, everyone in the restaurant cheered them on for the wonderful performance. Ranma and Musa don't notice this as they were too focused on each other.
Streets, on the way to the Saotome residence…
Ranma and Musa walked home arm in arm after leaving the sushi bar. The pigtailed boy hadn't done karaoke since the previous Christmas scramble at the Tendo Dojo, except this time he wasn't forced into a dress.
"This was a fantastic night!" said Musa.
"It certainly was, Musa." Agreed Ranma. "I'm glad you dragged me out."
"My pleasure!"
"You sang beautifully back there..."
"So did you…"
Ranma chuckled nervously. 'Guess I was wrong. Guys with microphones aren't geeks after all…'
"But you know, Ranma, that song did suit the mood." Said Musa. "It feels so right to be with you."
They both stopped walking to look at each other.
"It really does." Said Ranma.
"And you know what else feels right?" asked Musa.
"What?"
"This…"
Wrapping her arms around Ranma's neck, Musa closed the gap and pressed her lips against his. Ranma in turn holds her waist, pulling her closer as he closed his eyes and deepened the kiss.
'Heh, she's right about this, too.'
After a minute of osculation, they were rudely interrupted by a flash of light, causing them to separate. They turned towards the source: a smirking Nabiki Tendo with a Polaroid camera. After the incidents with the failed picture taking with digital, she opted to do things the old-fashioned way. Pulling out the photo, she shakes it to make it develop faster. Her grin becomes even wider as the end result was a clear picture of Ranma and Musa in romantic liplock.
"Good evening, Saotome, Melody." Said Nabiki in a smug tone.
Ranma and Musa's eyes narrowed as they looked at the middle Tendo sister.
"Don't you know it's rude to stalk people?" asked Musa in a not so nice tone.
"Stalking is such an ugly word." Said Nabiki. "I prefer surveying chaperone."
"Like I need YOU for a chaperone, Nabiki." Ranma growled. "Just what're you playing at?"
"You two make such a LOVELY couple." Said Nabiki as she waved the photo around. "Would be a real shame, Melody, if your five best friends knew you were trying to steal Ranma from them. Of course, they wouldn't be happy if they knew that Ranma was cheating on them with you. You don't want to break their friendship, you should buy my silence. For you, I'll give you the price of 100,000 yen each."
"You really know how to ruin a moment, you know that?" said Ranma in contempt.
"I'm merely conducting business." Replied Nabiki. She smiled inwardly, believing she had them on the ropes. Ever since Ryoga's secret was found out by Akane, the dojo had become a wreck. Not only that, but some parts of the house as well when Ryoga tried to hide in there, resulting in more collateral damage. The family couldn't afford to fix it up, so Nabiki planned to have Ranma pony up the cash. Of course, her blackmailing him was also a revenge for the two digital camera incidents, which she was still convinced that Ranma was involved in.
Her smile faded when she heard Ranma and musa chuckling.
"What's so funny?"
"A business, Nabiki? Please! You're just a lowly extortionist." Said Ranma.
Nabiki snarled a bit. "The price just went up to 200,000 each, Saotome. You can't stop me from getting what you owe me."
"And he told you before, he owes you nothing." Said Musa.
"Go ahead and tell the other girls about it, Nabiki. If anything, they'll just be happy for us." Added Ranma.
Nabiki blanched. "What?"
"Don't you know? It was my friends and I who thought of this. We're not betraying anyone. We all care about Ranma, unlike you and your sister, so you're just wasting your time."
"WHAT!?" She couldn't believe this! Musa and her gaijin friends are actually SHARING Ranma!?
"What's the matter, Nabiki? Disappointed that your scheme has hit a dead end?" Ranma taunted. "And here I thought you were smart enough to get your facts straight first before pulling this stupid stunt. Guess I was wrong."
Nabiki grew angry at the taunt. "How dare you!"
"Really, Nabiki, you should learn to mind your own business." Said Ranma.
He nods to Musa, who then lets off a sound burst below Nabiki. The soundwave caught the mercenary sister by surprise and knocked the photo up out of her hand.
"Just so you don't get any ideas…" Ranma then aims his hand at the airborne photo and shoots it with a small but well placed fireball. It incinerates on the spot. "Now you have nothing."
Nabiki recovers from her shock and glares at the two. "This isn't over!"
"You want money, Nabiki? Get a job."
Ranma grabs Musa around the waist and they both vanish in a flash, leaving the middle Tendo alone, screaming in disbelief.
Saotome gates…
Ranma and Musa appeared before their home after teleporting away from Nabiki.
"I guess Nabiki still hasn't learned her lesson." Said Musa.
"Yeah. Aside from her rude appearance, this turned out to be one fine night." Said Ranma.
"Definitely!"
They both walk into the house to turn in for the day. Well, Ranma will. The other girls will most likely grill Musa for some details about her date.
To be continued…
Ending (Groove Adventure Rave style, 'Kohaku no Yurikago')
Music starts as the weapons of the Specialists spin into the center of darkness. Everything then lights up, revealing Ranma.
Tsuki no shita de (Under the moon)
Sanagi ni natte kuchizuketa garasu no ai no umi (I became a chrysalis, kissed upon a glass sea of love)
Nami no youna Anata no rizumu idakarete (Your rhythm is like a wave, embracing)
Ranma is standing at a crossing in busy Tokyo. He waits to cross the road with a crowd of people. Just above a traffic light, Zing pops her head up. She flies down and perches on Ranma's shoulder.
Utau kotoba -live-Watashi wo kanjite (To sing is, live, to feel me)
My past Minamo ni kieru yo (My past, disappears on the water's surface)
Shinjirareru Mono wa subete anato to mitsuketa kara(Everything I believed in, I found with you, so…)
The walk sign lights up, and Ranma crosses the road with the masses. His image is super-imposed over a rare peaceful setting of the Nerima prefecture.
You're wings on my heart
Kono negai haruka na yume no Shijima ni tokete (This wish, a distant dream that melts in a desolate isle)
Ranma thinks about his times spent with Musa, Tecna, and Layla.
Nani mo nai Tada anata to tadayou kuni he (Nothing else, just with you in a drifting country)
Aoitori douka Michibiite (Bluebird please lead me...)
Ranma thinks of his times spent with Bloom, Stella, and Flora.
Chiisana Sora ga naita (I want to be your little sky)
At this time, Ranma stops walking as all the masses vanish from the street, leaving him and Zing to look up at the blue sky, the camera panning upwards..
End ending
Preview…
Musa: I felt so alive through the melodies!
Stella: Be sure to tell us the details, Musa!
Ranma: Nothing good ever happens at school…
Musa: A harsh reminder that a date ended…
Ranma: What's this? A team cooking contest?
Bloom: Like Iron Cook?
Ranma: Shampoo and Ukyou look to be a shoe-in for this. Oh no! Why's she entering!? Can't she ever accept that she can't cook!?
Bloom: Next time, on Ranma Club, 'Cook-Off! Outdoor Kitchen of Hades!' I'm sure it will be delicious!
Ranma: This reminds me of Food Fu…
Author's notes:
Once again, I've managed to get another chapter done. One of my readers gave me the idea of sticking in DDR into Musa's date. I thought it worked out nicely, don't you?
Just barely at the end of Valentine's Day, too.
Three dates down, three to go! What will be in store for Bloom, Stella, and Flora once their turns come up? You'll just have to tune in to find out!
Robzone: As far as I know, Winx is still going on.
Andrew9000: I've got something else planned for Mousse. As for Ryoga and Nabiki, only more headaches will come for them.
TheLordOfPages1692: Valtor and the Trix will show up again once Ranma's party return back to Magix. Remember that Ranma did rough up Valtor real bad and is still recovering.
Dark-Magician-41: Glad you love it. I know, it was about damn time the idiot tomboy was exposed to the truth, and Ryoga getting his just desserts.
Chm01: No one injures someone's loved ones and gets away with it.
Dumbledork: Thanks! Was inspired by AnimeAddiction's 'Tattoon Ranma' fic.
Jerry Unipeg: And those two will be getting a lot more in the future.
Cabrera1234: No problem! All for my loyal readers!
Bloomforever: Sorry, but yeah. Ranma's group still has a lot of things to do on earth before returning to Magix.
OBSERVER01: Uh…. It's just you…. (looking around suspiciously and innocently whistles)
Saotome-san: Don't think that's the end of Ryoga. He's gonna be even more relentless, provided he doesn't get lost again, which is VERY likely.
7 Winds: With Nabiki's greed, will she EVER learn?
