Mousse: "Salutations everyone. The next chapter is about to begin so be sure to make sure your reading in a brightly lit room and are not reading too close to the computer screen."

Me: "WOULD YOU GUYS JUST CUT THAT OUT! Sigh. I have too many Ranma stories. I don't own Ranma, Kaleido Star, or any of the songs that are in this chapter. Start the fic."

Ranma and Sora ran backstage.

"That was the best show I've ever done!" said Sora.

"Yeah, and the crowd seems to have taken to it pretty good too." said Ranma.

Mr. Leon then walked up to Ranma.

"Ranma...I apologize." said Mr. Leon.

"I'm sorry, did you just apologize to me?"

"I treated you like an ametur when you really have a lot of talent. And most importantly, you reminded me of what it really means to be a preformer. I thank you and take my leave." said Mr. Leon.

"You're leaving?" asked Sora.

"There is no need for me to stay. Kaleido Stage is in good hands with you two. So long." said Mr. Leon.

Kalos then came backstage with them when everyone was off stage.

"Good job everyone. I think it's safe to say that this was our best show yet. Now you can all go home." said Kalos.

Ranma then went up to Kalos. "Uh Kalos, we have a problem. You see I usually put up a tent in an empty lot but this morning...I was robbed."

"Just as well, we're all ready getting a room ready for you but until then I'm afraid you'll have to stay with one of our preformers. Hm...Sora! Come over here!" said Kalos.

Sora then seperated from her friends and came over to Kalos. "What is it boss?"

"Ranma needs a place to stay so he'll be staying with you for a little while." said Kalos.

Sora's entire body froze.

:"I wasn't kidding when I said we had a lack of male preformers." said Kalos.

One of Sora's friends then went up to Ranma. "Hi Ranma. I'm Mia Guillem. Me, Sora, and Anna were about to go out for some karaoke. You want to come?" asked Mia.

"Well I usually think that guys holding microphones usuallylook like dorks butsince Sora's the only one with the key to her room I guess I'll have to come." said Ranma.

"Great. We'll go just as soon as we can snap Sora back to reality." said Mia.

Sarah then went up to Kalos. "You know, he could've just stayed with Ken for a little while." (A/N: Is it just me or does sometimes it seem like he's the onlyguy who works backstage?)

"What can I say? I'm feeling...mischieveous today." said Kalos.

"And we all know how rare that is." said Sarah.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Outside...

Mia, Anna, Sora and Ranma went outside to see...

"Mr. Policeman!" said Sora.

"Hey there Sora! What're you and your friends doing out so late?" asked the very large policeman.

"We're all going out for some Karaoke." said Sora.

He then saw that Ranma was there and walked over to him.

"Uh hi." said Ranma.

He then picked up Ranma and was trying to crush him. "I'll see if you're man enough to be Sora's boyfriend!"

Now if it were anyone else Ranma would probably kick him in the head right about now but since it was a police officer Ranma just slipped out of his grasp and jumped away.

"Listen! I don't want to have to fight a police officer! Besides, me and Sora aren't anything like that!" said Ranma.

Sora's head dropped in depression and was blue in the face as she kept repeating "Not anything like that." (A/N: Think of what Ken was saying when the police man thought he was Sora's boyfriend.)

"Uh Sora? Are you okay?" asked Ranma.

It took a little while but they snapped her out of it.

They started to head towards the place that presumably had karaoke when Ranma saw an old friend.

"Mousse? Hey uh you two go on ahead without me. I think I just spotted an old friend. I'll catch up." said Ranma.

"Okay Ranma, here's where you need to go." said Mia as she handed him a slip of paper with an address on it.

"Okay, see you there." said Ranma as he waved goodbye.

Ranma then started to go over to Mousse. "Mousse! Yo Mousse! Over here!" said Ranma.

Mousse looked over and saw Ranma. "Ranma? What're you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing. Hey you finally got those stupid contact lenses. Did you find that chi wizard I told you about okay?" asked Ranma.

"Yeah, I found him alright. But when I came home I found...I found...I FOUND SHAMPOO WITH ANOTHER MAN!" shouted Mousse.

He then started to cry uncontrollably making Ranma feel uncomfortable.

"Uh there there Mousse. I know how you feel. The same thing happened with me and Akane." said Ranma.

"You mean you found Akane sleeping with another man?" asked Mousse with tears in his eyes.

"Well no. She was just Frenching the guy... a lot. So what'cha doing here?" asked Ranma.

"I'm afraid I've become a ronin! And what's worse is I found out that somebody stole all my camping equipment!" said Mousse.

"Hey, somebody stole all my stuff too. So you don't have anywhere to go?" asked Ranma.

Mousse shook his head sadly.

"Well I'm part of a corporation called Kaleido Stage. Here, take this card and tell them I sent you." said Ranma handing Mousse the card Kalos gave him.

"T-Thank you Ranma." said Mousse.

"No prob. Now I have to catch up to some friends of mine so I'll see you later." said Ranma.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Karaoke Hut...

"Well look how finally decided to show up." said Anna.

"Sorry." said Ranma.

"Sorry's not going to cut it! You're going to have to sing!" said Mia playfully.

"You're kidding!" said Ranma.

"Nope, time to sing it up." said Anna.

"Oh come on!" said Ranma.

No matter how much he pleaded they didn't budge.

Ranma just sighed and took up the mic. He then looked through the book to see if he could find a song that he would like to sing. After searching about a hundred pages he found one.

"Sigh. Here I go, but you better not tell anyone about this!" said Ranma.

"We won't. We promise." said Sora.

Ranma sighed again and begun to sing "Well you think you can take me on, you must be crazy. There aint a single thing you've done that's ever gonna faze me. Oh, but if you want to have a go, I just want to let you know...Yeah, get off of my back and into my game! Get out of my way, 'cause I'm wild and untamed! Get out of my face or give it your best shot! I think it's time youbetter face the fact! Get off of my back! You know it's all just a game that I'm playin. Don't think youcan find a way in, that's what I'm sayin... But if you want to have a go, I just want to let you knoooooooooow. Oh get off of my back, and into my game! Get out of my face, or give it your best shot! But you know this train is coming off this track! Get off of my back! Yeah, get off of my back! Get off! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Get off, get off, get off, get off, get off, get off, get off...Get off of my back!"

Ranma sighed as he heard the girls clapping. "You three owe me big time." said Ranma.

"Don't worry Ranma, we won't tell anyone." said Sora.

"Is that the time?" asked Mia looking at the clock.

"Woa! We'd better get going!" said Anna.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Sora's apartment...

"I'll sleep on the couch. You have my word I won't try anything." said Ranma.

"Oh don't worry, I trust you!" said Sora a little too quickly.

Fool then floated over to her.

"So this is the famous Ranma." said Fool.

"HUH! WHO SAID THAT? WHO'S THERE?" asked Ranma.

Fool froze. He wasn't able to see him but Ranma could hear him loud and clear.

"Did you hear that?" asked Ranma.

"No! You're hearing things, you're probably just tired!" said Sora.

"I guess you're right." said Ranma.

Me: "And there you go. I thought I should let you guys now that I'm going to go on a Ranma hiatus for a little while. And my staff knows what that means!"

My staff: "VACATION!"

Washu dressed as a ship's captain: "Ship is ready to sail Sir!"

Me: "Alright, everyone in here is invited to come aboard!"

Me and my staff then set sail.
