Ranma and the Outers. After reading "All My Outers" by PsyckoSama, I got this idea. While his was a good idea, I had to change it slightly and then wondered where it would go. Hopefully, it will turn out pretty good. This is Rated "R" for language and adult situations. This will have lime-ish content, but will not be a lemon as I will not be describing or detailing those things.
NOTE: My usual two Beta-readers have been unavailable for some time, so until I get other beta-readers, I will be doing the pre-reading myself. Of course, this means that I may miss a few things. So if you notice some errors, please let me know.
A bit thanks to Glazedlookineyes101 for helping me edit the story and fix a number of my errors. I do have to say that my ego as hit by the number of errors I had, but oh well I never claimed to be a professional writer. Though I will say that Glazedlookineyes101 did too good of a job and several of the lines I had for Ranma were corrected so I had to dumb those down a little to match his speech.
Chapter 2 Part 2: Meet Ranma-papa
"Um, hi… I'm Ranma Saotome," Ranma introduced himself, and then was talking to thin air. "Um…"
Haruka whistled. "I've never seen her move that fast…"
"Not even when transformed…" Michiru said, then gasped as she covered her mouth with her hand.
"Yeah, who knew that Sailor Saturn could move that fast…" He blinked owlishly. "Sailor Saturn… and you're Neptune, and you're Uranus," he said, pointing to his wives.
"Yes, but… how'd you…" she said breathlessly.
Ranma sighed. "Probably the same was I've known all that other stuff today."
"And how we've known things about you… though I wonder…" Haruka said as she trailed off and looked at her first love.
Michiru looked pensive. "What?"
Haruka suddenly got an evil glint to her eye. "We know things about Ranma… and each other we never knew before."
"We do?"
"Yes, like how you've always wanted to just slum around the house in sweats and a tee-shirt and not have to look perfect all the time."
"Hey! I think she'd look just as good in sweats as you do…" Ranma stopped as he realized that he said that out loud instead of only in his mind, though his two wives only smiled.
Michiru suddenly grinned evilly. "Well… it seems that I'm not the only one with secrets. I believe you've been trying on some of my dresses while I've been gone..."
"How'd you…" Haruka said, horrified, and then sighed as her lover tapped her head. "Damn..."
"What? I think you'd look great in a dress; you shouldn't wear pants all the time. You need to dress up sometimes. I mean just look at ya, you have a great body and you'd look really sexy in a dress." Ranma smiled as he saw the radiant smile coming from Haruka, then he realized what he said, which caused him to worry. However, seeing that she was just smiling at him and not waving a mallet he guessed he didn't screw anything up this time.
He was about to say something else when suddenly a pen and something else was thrust into his hands. "WOWI'msogladtomeetyouIwaswonderingifyoucouldsigntheseformeplease!"
"Ummm." Ranma said blankly as Haruka laughed while Michiru giggled. He looked down at his hands and noticed several 2x3 inch cards with pictures of him on them. "What the?"
"I've got almost the complete collection, though Chibi-Usa has more, but she'll be so jealous if I can get these signed! She doesn't even have one of hers signed yet!"
Haruka looked at the card in his hands and smirked. "Hotaru, I didn't know you collected the Ranma trading cards."
The little girl looked sheepish. "Well, when you took me to the bookstore to get your books, I happened to see the cards there, so I…" Hotaru's cheeks became red.
This time Michiru giggled. "So it seems I'm the only one that hasn't been collecting Ranma-kun items."
"Oh I wouldn't say that…" Haruka said with a gleam to her eye as she looked back and forth between her new husband and her co-wife.
Ranma shifted slightly and was a little uncomfortable with this situation. But he had to admit; it was a lot better than the last time there was a bunch of girls wanting his attention.
"Please, Mr. Saotome." Hotaru blinked cutely at him and pouted, motioning towards the cards.
Hearing Hotaru begging for his signature brought his attention back to what was going on. "Um… sure."
"Before you do that…" Haruka interrupted. "Hotaru, there's more that you need to know."
"Like what Haruka-papa?"
That simple question suddenly brought a tear to Haruka's eyes as she realized that she wouldn't be 'Haruka-papa' to her any longer. Looking up to meet his gaze, she could tell by the sudden seriousness of his face that he must be thinking something similar.
"Um, Hotaru-chan… this is gonna be… um… hard to explain…"
"What they are trying to say is that we don't know how it really happened, or why." Michiru added.
Hotaru looked between the three and was confused. "What? What's going on?"
Ranma placed the cards and the pen on the table and then moved to stand between his new wives. Looking at one and then the other he then turned his attention back to Hotaru. "There's… um…"
"Perhaps I can answer that question better."
All eyes turned to see someone standing at the door. "Setsuna…" Ranma said softly.
"Setsuna-mama!" Hotaru cried out.
Setsuna smiled at them and the three newlyweds suddenly began to wonder if she was there to help them, or to split them up. "Hotaru-chan, I'd like you to meet Ranma Saotome, husband of Michiru and Haruka."
Hotaru's eyes opened wide and she spun around to look at her two parents and Ranma.
"Um, surprise?" Ranma said as he held out his hand, showing her that he had a ring that matched Haruka and Michiru.
