Andreas stood between the four girls who were staring at each other with their angered looks in their eyes. Behind him was Ranma tied up and surprisingly not complaining just watching as everything goes on.

Flashback

Andreas is holding a mallet and looking at Ranma and saying, "Now here is the competition Ranma," Leans in and whispers something in his ear, "Ok?"

Ranma shook his head and said, "No I am not going to be involved in it."

"Oh come on now I know you want to go to the show with Akane and this is the only competition I know she will excel at." Andreas explained.

Ranma reluctantly agreed and Andreas began to tie him up.

End Flashback

"Ok here is the competition. It is rather simple. So who ever hits Ranma with this mallet the farthest will go on the date to the show tonight with Ranma. Oh and to those who lose this competition must find someone else to go to the show with and must not interfere with the date and if they do they will answer to me," Andreas turns and places the mallet down and walked to the side, "Now the first up is Kodachi Kuno."

Kodachi walked up to the mallet and looked at Ranma, "I Kodachi the Black Rose shall not strike my darling Ranma because I am a good future wife and I shall not hurt my dear Ranma."

Andreas shrugged and said, "Oh ok then you are disqualified."

Kodachi whipped her hair and walked away annoyed and Shampoo walked over to the mallet and said, "It Shampoo turn."

She picked the mallet up and reared back and swung as hard as she could amd nailed Ranma. Ranma flew and landed in a near by fountain. Ranma ran over and placed a flag on where he landed and he picked him up and placed his now female body to the starting spot and poured some hot water on him changing him back. Ukyo pushed her way to Ranma and said, "Ok it's my turn."

She lifted the mallet and hit Ranma almost twice as far as Shampoo did. Andreas ran after him as he cleared the park landing in the road. Andreas picked him up and marked the spot and carried Ranma back to the starting spot.

"Ok well it's time for the final contestant Akane Saotome." Andreas looked over and backed away as Akane walked up.

Akane gripped the mallet as if it was Ranma's neck when he said something stupid to her. She swung the mallet and hit him sending him towards the buildings clearing them easily. Andreas ran after him and watched as Ranma landed amidst the market.

Andreas stood in shock and said, "Well I guess I picked the right competition for Akane," he walked over and picked up Ranma and brushed him off and said, "Well Ranma you are going on a date with Akane how does that make you feel?"

Ranma wobbled and said, "I guess I am ok."

Andreas smiled and said, "Well here are the tickets why don't you give one to Akane."

Ranma took the ticket and wobbled down the street mumbling incoherently. Andreas ran up to him and added, "Oh and do not say anything you may regret."

Ranma shook his head and cam back to reality and said, "Where the hell am I?"

Andreas looked at him and said, "Oh Akane won the competition so you are going on the date with her."

Ranma blushed and said, "Oh ok that's good."

"Ranma just remember do not say anything that you have in the past to her ok?" Andreas said.

Ranma nodded and walked away and stopped at a flower shop to buy some of Akane's favorite flowers. Andreas smiled and watched him walk down towards his house and thought, 'Well I finally got those two heading down the right path.'

Later that night Ranma was waiting for Akane wearing a black sleeveless Chinese shirt with pants the same color. Soun was crying while he was waiting and placed his hand on his shoulder and said, "There you go son show my Akane a good time."

Genma walked up to him and said, "Yes Ranma my boy you are going down the right path of becoming a man."

Ranma stood there with an annoyed look on his face as this all conspired. He looked up as he heard Akane coming down. Ranma caught himself gazing in bewilderment as she walked down. She was wearing a long deep blue skirt with a light blue blouse with a hat the same color as the blouse. She walked down the stairs slowly and Ranma mumbled something to himself, "Wow how cute."
