Fool: "Greetings everyone. The next chapter is about to start so please make sure you're reading in a brightly lit room and are not too close to the computer screen."

Me grabbing him: "THAT DOES IT! COME HERE YOU!"

Fool scared: "I was just doing the intro."

Me handing him to Stitch: "It's a story! It doesn't need an intro! Here Stitch, eat."

Stitch then walks away with Fool in his mouth.

Fool: "Hey now wait a minute..."

Me: "Start the fic."

Two weeks have passed since that day. Mr. Leon had already come but Sora's main focus at the moment was Ranma.

"I still can't believe he turned Kalos down." saidSora.

"I know. Some people would kill to join Kaielido Stage." said Mia.

"Yeah, I was one of them." said Sora.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Ranma was jumping from lamp post to lamp post. It was good balance training and he needed to work on his speed for this kind of thing. He had unknowingly approached a sign where an advertisement for the latest of Sora's performances.

"...there is no way how I'm going to let someone as unworthy as you Sora be Mr. Leon's partner. I, May Wong (A/n: I think that was her name)will not allow it." said a girl.

"Excuse me miss, but who are you to decide this?" asked Ranma coldly.

"What? Who said that?" asked the girl.

"Up here stupid!" said Ranma.

The girl looked and saw Ranma and her pupils were soon replaced with hearts.

"Don't even think about it! Now tell me why you don't think Sora is worthy to be this guy's partner." said Ranma.

"She isn't worthy enough because she has no talent..."

"And how do you know this? Have you seen any of her shows?"

"Well, no..."

"Have you seen any of her work?"

"No..."

Ranma then said under his breathe "Just what I need, a female Kuno."

"Then listen, I may not know much about her work but apparentally I know more than you so listen up! Sora has done some sort of bird thingy...I think it was called Pheonix or something, she also performed the legendary manouver with Layla. Maybe you should learn more about someone before you go accusing them. But since you came all this way from who knows where I'll make you deal." said Ranma.

"I'm listening."

"A game of catch. If you can catch me in under 5 minutes then I'll let you interupt the show so you can do your little thing. But if you can't you have to leave never to return." said Ranma.

"Deal."

So with that Ranma ran off hopping from street lamp to street lamp with May following on the ground.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Elsewhere...

"Hm I see." said Fool.

"Fool? Aren't you supposed to be in heaven or something?" asked Sora.

"I'm the Spirit of the Stage not a ghost. But that's not the point, by the look on your face you have been smitten by someone from your past." said Fool.

"What are you talking about? I never met Ranma before the night he came to see my show." said Sora.

"Oh so his name is Ranma is it?" asked Fool.

Sora froze, how could she have been that careless?

"Well I'll cross reference the two of your names in my crystal ball." said Fool.

"You can do that?" asked Sora.

"My dear Sora I am the Spirit of the Stage, I can do anything." said Fool.

"Huh. It's always the quiet ones." said Sora.

"Ah I have something. Gaze into my crystal ball." said Fool.

She did and she saw childlike versions of herself and Ranma.

Chibi-Sora goes up to Chibi-Ranma.

"Hi. My name is Sora, want to be friends?" asked Chibi-Sora.

"Okay." said Chibi-Ranma.

The two played for a little while then fell onto the grass laughing.

"Hey Ranma, do you have a dream? You know, something you want to do more than anything?" asked Chibi-Sora.

"I want to be the world's best martial artist. What do you want to do?" asked Chibi-Ranma.

"Hm...I know. I want to be Kaleido Stage's biggest star." said Chibi-Sora.

"Kaleidawhat?" asked Chibi-Ranma.

"Ranma let's make a promise. Let's promise that no matter what nothing will stand in our way." said Chibi-Sora.

"Okay." said Chibi-Ranma.

"And if we both accomplish our dreams we can get married." said Chibi-Sora.

"Okay." said Chibi-Ranma.

So they then sealed the deal with a pinky swear.

Sora was wide eyed and had her mouth hanging open.

"Cute isn't it Sora? Sora?" asked Fool.

He then waved his hand in front of Sora.

"Uh-oh. I think I broke her." said Fool.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Elsewhere...

"I-I can't believe I lost." said May.

"Thems the brakes kid." said Ranma.

"What (sniff) What am I going to do now?" said May starting to sob.

Ranma then started to feel guilty.

"How about BroadWay?" asked Ranma.

"Huh?" said May.

"You could go to BroadWay or maybe even Hollywood. If your name can't be up in lights for Kaleido Stage why not some place just as big, and I can tell you probably no one there has ever seen someone like you." said Ranma.

"I...I never thought about that." said May.

"Well maybe you should. The fact that you were even able to keep up with me is saying something. I bet you'll light up where ever you plan on going from here." said Ranma.

"T-Thank you. I will repay you some day I promise." said May.

She then left.

"Well nothing left to do now but head on back to camp." said Ranma.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"I'VE BEEN ROBBED!" shouted Ranma.

Ranma was in front of what was supposed to be his camp site only to find it completely empty.

"I SWEAR YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYONE IN AMERICA! I leave the camp site for just a little while ONLY TO FIND EVERYTHING COMPLETELY GONE! Oh man, this means I'm also broke now. Well I guess there's only one thing to do now." said Ranma.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Kaleido Stage back stage...

"I am not performing for little kids!" said Leon.

Sora gasped at his statement.

"Well how do you like that?" said a voice.

Everybody looked to the right only to see...

"Ranma." said Sora.

"I thought I'd never see the day that a performer wouldn't care bull shit about his audience." said Ranma.

"You dare to say such a thing to the star when you have no idea what it is like? I spit on your shoes!" said Leon.

Leon spits on Ranma's shoes and Ranma just looks at him with half lidded eyes as if to say 'Is that really your best insult?'

"Does this mean you've finally decided to take us up on our offer?" asked Kalos.

"Yeah, but let's get a couple things straight! You guys were the ones who made the offer to me not the other way around so I don't want to hear any complaining about it! Second, I want you all to know that I'm a martial artist first and a performer second. If this should in any way interfere with my art I'm out of here got it?" asked Ranma.

Everyone but Leon nodded.

"Good. Now come on. We got a show to do." said Ranma.
