Episode 23: Moon / Episode 24: A Day in a Different Town
Episode 23: Moon
About two weeks have passed since the events of the last episodes have transpired, everything is calming down once more and returning to normal... for the Apocalypse of course. The families prepare for their daily "Supply" Runs. Once an important task that required most of the groups to leave the safety of their neighborhood, now was an excuse to leave the neighborhood and entertain themselves. Everyone knew this but they still like calling it a supply run. Genma would get Soun to leave the porch every once in a while. Nebiki and Akane were even able to convince Kasumi to leave the house to enjoy herself sometimes. While Akane and Genma like to take the Datsun and the 4Runner for their adventures, Ranma chose to only use the 86 on actual supply runs when he needed to go far.
(Akane) Hey Ranma, if you leave the area, take one of the phones with you just in case of an emergency.
(Ranma)(M) Yeah yeah, I will. I'm not crazy you know, there's some fog in the city and I'll report somethin if I see it.
(Genma)(H) Mornin Ranma! Me, your mother and the old lady are gonna go out to see if we can find a drink around here, it's been a while and I feel like it's peaceful enough as it is and we feel like goin west! Oh and we're even takin Tendo with us!
Without letting Ranma even respond, Genma was flying out the door, dragging poor Soun in the air as he ran, Nadoka was right behind then after she greeted and Ranma and ran.
(Ranma)(M) Well I felt like goin somewhere like Shibuya or even Shinjuku for a couple days, you know, a change in scenery for a day.
(Akane) Wow Ranma, thats pretty far ya know. Do you even know how far that is?
(Ranma) I know it's far. But I've always wanted to see a city where it's a city for miles. Ever since I started trainin with my pops, we had never set foot in anything close to a city, villages were the most populated places I knew up until now. Wanna come? By the way, I'm goin by foot and not takin the 86.
(Akane) You know what, I haven't been anywhere near there either, so why not? Nebiki took Kasumi somewhere to have some fun and get her out of the house. Let's make it a date, huh?
They are in a relationship, yet they still acted like children...
(Ranma) So what are you plannin to do?
(Akane) Well I'm not roof jumping for almost an hour, so I'm taking my car.
(Ranma) Well, I guess I'll see you there, I wait for you in Shibuya, since it'll take you forever.
(Akane) Wanna make it a race then? First one there?
(Ranma) Damn Right! We'll start on this street after everyone has left alright?
(Akane) Since we'll be gone for tonight and tomorrow, should we leave a note?
(Ranma) Hmmm... Yeah, just so they can't tell us not to if we tell them over the phone.
By the time everyone else had left, it was already 10:00 A.M.
Ranma waited on the street as he heard that dark blue Datsun slowly turning on the street to line up with Ranma.
(Ranma) 3... 2... ... 1... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Ranma quickly jumped to the roofs and Akane gunned it with map in hand
Ranma quickly jumped from rooftop to rooftop, swapping to his female form to get some extra speed. (heh)
Akane quickly drove to a highway with few abandoned cars on it and drove south until she had to get off to get further south
This went on for 40 minutes as the two raced to Shibuya.
As they got closer to Shibuya, fog started to slow them down. Akane was forced to drive much slower to avoid crashing her new car and Ranma had to be careful when jumping to avoid falling and injuring himself again.
As Akane got to Shibuya, She parked her car in a neighborhood outside the large city and waited for Ranma.
Ranma, being Ranma, completely MISSED the signs pointing out where Shibuya was and landed in Azabu Juban, Tokyo, Japan. He went 4.4 Kilometers straight past Shibuya and ended up in another city.
Ranma landed himself near the ocean and landed on solid ground after almost an hour of jumping rooftops of houses, trees, mountains and large buildings.
After a short break, Ranma got his breathing under control.
(Ranma)(F) HELL YEAH, I beat her here. can't wait to tell her!
Ranma fumbled with her phone excitedly, ready to accept victory over her fiancee.
The line connected.
(Ranma)(F) Hey Akane, where are you, I don't see you anywhere.
(Akane) Funny I can say the same thing about you! Where are you, are there any signs around you?
(Ranma) Let me see...
Ahhhh... I see now.
(Akane) Alright let me know where you are.
(Ranma) Ummm, Akane?
(Akane) Yeah, what's up?
(Ranma) Where is Juban?
(Akane) It's-_-S_-_-_How!_-_-_-_-_- Ran_-_-_-llo?-_-_-RANMA?!_-_-_-
(Ranma) Stupid weather must be jamming the connection-
As Ranma is fighting the urge to throw the phone as hard as he can. A chill goes up her spine as she starts to hear a melody coming from a music box, but the sound was coming from all around him, it was a sad melody that made him nervous but also sad, but he couldn't figure out why.
(Ranma) (What the hell is that?!) HEY, WHO'S THERE?! C'MON I'LL FIGHT YOU HERE AND NOW.
She stood in her usual fighting stance ready for an attack from any direction. But then the melody stopped. She looked around. Infected didn't scare him, but this definitely made her nervous. Then she looked up to see the Moon.
(Ranma) What the-? It's not even past noon yet, why the heck is the Moon even out right now?
This made her even more nervous than when they had dealt with that Kuno guy.
The moon had a different shape and was MUCH brighter than usual, Ranma swore it gave off a golden glow that slowly enveloped her.
(Ranma) WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuu...!
Ranma them passed out from the impossible brightness of the Moon.
She woke up in a panic. But remained calm. Or she tried.
The Moon was still the weird shape, but the fog was gone.
!
She looked around and couldn't believe her eyes.
Civilization.
It was nighttime and around her, people were walking and talking like normal, lights lit up the night and cars were driving up and don the street.
This was a dream right? Ranma thought, then she proceeded to throw himself as hard as she could into the nearest lamppost. Nothing.
She started to tear up. After being in the Apocalypse for so long, she was able to see the thing she wanted to see again the most, life, any kind of life that wasn't a run down city or crazy survivors or deadly Infected.
She was like this for what seemed like eternity. People began to look at her, confused by the crying red-headed child they saw before them, wearing a dirty version of her usual red Chinese top and brown pants that she had to get used to after some of the stains wouldn't go away.
Though, she did here a passerby say under his breath, "What a poor girl, homeless and no parents, so sad." She then gave Ranma a 2,000 Yen and told her good luck.
As the woman walked away, it felt like a sucker punch.
(Ranma)(F) "Poor"? "Homeless"? Fuck you I guess, but hey, at least she paid me. But where am I?
She looked around, (There!) she looked at a young, blond girl with a school uniform, walking with a brunette with the same uniform She ran up to them, almost excited to talk to someone outside her family, friends and fiancee!
(Ranma) Hey, you two!
The two looked at her, confused, was she talking to them? The blonde spoke first.
(Blonde Student) Uhh, Naru. Do you know her?
(Naru) No... Do you?
(Blonde Student) Not at all.
They looked at Ranma up and down and the Blonde addressed her again, this time with a concerned look on her face.
(Blonde Student) Are you okay? You look like you crawled out of a car crash!
(Ranma) Uhh, I don't really know. Could you tell me what year it is?
The two girls looked at each other, confused, then the blonde tells Ranma in almost a joking tone:
(Blonde Student) What're you talking about, it's 1992 silly.
She laughs a little, but Ranma goes as white a ghost before fainting out in front of the pair, but not before hearing:
(Blonde Student) OH NO she fainted, quick, Naru, help me get to my house, it's not too far from here!
(Naru) But you don't even know her name, what're you gonna tell your parents, Usagi?!
(Ranma) (Usagi and Naru huh?)
Everything faded to black as Ranma lost consciousness.
Meanwhile, before Ramna disappeared in Juban City
(Ranma) Ummm, Akane?
(Akane) Yeah, what's up?
(Ranma) Where is Juban?
(Akane) Let me look at my map... WHAT THE- Ranma, how the hell did you pass ALL of Shibuya?
All she heard was static with the faint sound of a music box in the static.
(Akane) Ranma? Hello Ranma? Say something! Where are you, and what is that noise? GET OUT OF THERE! RUN!
The line disconnected.
Akane ran to her car and started for Azabu Juban, Tokyo to look for her fiancee and to keep him from leaving her.
Ranma awoke again, this time in another unfamiliar place.
It was pink and full of "Girly things" Ranma thought.
She got up. Her clothes had been unbuttoned, as if someone was about to undress her
(Ranma) (OH HELL TO THE NO!)
She re-buttoned her shirt, did some weirdo pick her up and kidnap her or something? She looked around but then the door opened.
(Usagi) Oh hey, you're awake!
(Ranma) Whoa there woman! Where am I and who are you?
Ranma finished the last button and the girl took notice and connected the dots pretty quickly!
(Usagi) OH NO NO NO! I only did that because I thought you might be wearing something underneath because your clothes are so dirty! But I stopped when I saw only some skin...
(Ranma) (This girl's acting like a little kid!) So where are we right now?
(Usagi) We're in my room of my house! You fainted in front of me and Naru so I thought we should carry you here for safety.
(Ranma) But you don't even know my name. Why did you help me?
(Usagi) I don't know, It just looked like you needed some help, by the way... What is your name anyway?
(Ranma) I'm Ranma Saotome of the school of Anything Goes Martial Arts.
(Usagi) Ranma . . . Saotome . . . What an interesting name! I'm Usagi Tsukino of Juban Public Middle School. Just not martial arts or anything. So where are you from, why do you look so beaten, where is your school?
(Ranma) Whoa slow down and- Wait did you say middle school?
(Usagi) Yeah! Why?
(Ranma) That makes me 2 years your senior. Even though I couldn't attend High school.
(Usagi) WHHAATTT?! But you look younger than me, how are YOU four years older than me?!
(A Woman from down stairs) Usagi, is everything okay up there?
(Usagi) (In an embarrassed tone) Y-yeah heh heh heh, everything's fine Mom!
(Ikuko) Well, your friends are here and they're coming up okay!
(Usagi) (In a cheerful tone) Okay!
(Ranma) Wait! Friends?
(Usagi) Oh don't worry, they're just my friends, they're good people! Luna, where are you
(Ranma) Luna? Who the heck are these people?
(Unknown) I'm sitting right here Usagi...
There was a talking black cat sitting right next to him. He had come across his fair share of "things that shouldn't talk but did" so this didn't phase him at all. But he didn't feel it's presence whatsoever so he jumped a little when he heard it.
(Ranma) And who might this be? Another friend?
As he said this, 3 people walked into the room, A blue-haired girl that looked nervously at Ranma, another that was a little taller that immediately stared at Usagi with a questioning stare and a final one that looked at Ranma and smiled.
(Usagi) Hey everyone, What's up?
(Ranma) Hold on! At least tell me their names first, I don't know these people!
(Usagi) Oh yeah! There's Ami, the one that keeps us all together. Rei, the mean one. And there's Makoto, the strong and courageous one.
(Rei) Really Usagi, "the men one"?
(Ranma) Look, it's nice to meet all of you, but what happened to everything?
Usagi, the other girls and even Luna looked at her confused.
(Luna) What are talking about?
(Usagi) Yeah, now that you mention it, it was strage when you asked what year it was, like some kind of time traveller!
(Ranma) Yeah, could you tell me what year it was again? I don't think I heard you right last time.
(Usagi) Like I said earlier, it's the summer of 1992!
Out of a mixture of stress, confusion and anger, Ranma teared up again and started sobbing as she yelled
(Ranma) HOW!? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE APOCALYPSE!? WHERE ARE THE INFECTED!? WHY IS EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL?! WHERE IS MY FAMILY!?
The girls looked at her, eyes full of confusion and pity.
(Ranma) Akane. WHERE'S AKANE!?
(Ami) Calm down, now what did you say your name was?
Wiping the tears away and trying to calm down, Ranma responded
(Ranma) Ranma. Ranma Saotome of the School of Anything Goes Martial Arts.
(Usagi) Apocalypse?
Usagi turned to Ami, a little nervous about what their visitor just said.
(Ami) That's not possible. I do't know what kind of Apocalypse she's talking about, but there is no record of ANY apocalypse ever happening in human history, other than religious texts-
(Ranma) From where I come from, the Gods would never send what they did to my home.
(Makoto) (In a serious tone) So in this apocalypse, could you tell us what happened.
(Ranma) It all started on the day I met the love of my life, my fiancee, Akane Tendo.
Ranma then told the girls everything that had taken place, leaving out any unimportant details of the events leading up to the current time.
Rei and Makoto were horrified while Usagi and Ami held each other for comfort with Luna in between them, also looking baffled by Ranma's story.
After he finished though, Rei's expression toned back down to serious.
(Rei) Your story is horrifying and I'm sorry to ask this of you, but I need proof.
(Usagi) Rei, are you serious!?
(Rei) I understand, but think about it, this girl could be lying to us about everything. Killing another human, Escaping death multiple times, THE Apocalypse and most of all, being cursed with switching from boy to girl depending on the temperature of the water, that sounds highly unbelievable.
(Ami) Unfortunately, I agree Usagi.
(Usagi) WHAAT!?
Makoto: Yeah, proof would make me believe everything.
(Usagi) Ranma, you don'-
(Ranma) It's fine, I had to do this for my mother as well. Is there a warm body of water nearby?
(Usagi) We have a shower you can use across the hall.
(Ranma) Follow me...
All the girls watched Ranma as she became a he in front of them.
(Rei) SO it was a disguise all along, he's probably from the dark kingdom, GET HIM.
The girls were about to rush Ranma, but he quickly jumped out of the window and ran to the ocean as they transformed.
(Ranma)(M) (WHAT THE FUCK IS THE DARK KINGDOM!?)
He ran until he was looking out at the sea from a railing that look out to a marina.
They surrounded him, He then jumped into the sea.
The girls gasped and went to look, but were shocked when the girl came back out and balanced perfectly on the guard rail.
(Rei) This proves nothing, he could still be wearing a disguise!
Ranma sighed as he walked right up to Rei, who was a little taller than her, grabbed her hand and placed it on her now female chest and made her hand squeeze, just for good measure.
It was embarrassing, but it shut the girl up for a second. The others just stared at her and then he realized, this was something that was only normal to him and NOBODY ELSE!
Rei just stood there, staring back and forth between her hand and female Ranma.
(Ranma)(F) Do you believe me now?
Usagi, Ami and Makoto waited for answer.
(Rei) They're real, that's a biological female, no doubt about it!
(Ami) Hold on!
Ami then used her power as a Sailor Guardian to analyse Ranma's biology, sure enough Ranma was biologically female.
This was the awkward moment when Ranma noticed how the girls were dressed differently than before.
(Ranma)(F) So now that that's over with, what's with the dresses? And who the hell are you people?
(Luna) I can explain ALL of that when we return home.
(Ranma) (What the actual fuck is going on?)
End of Episode 23: Moon
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Episode 24: A Day in a Different Town
(Luna) -and that's when we found Sailor Jupiter and a little while later, here we are!
(Ranma)(F) Wow... That's a lot to take in... (These people are fuckin crazy if they think I'm gonna believe everything they said! Moon kingdom, Dark Kingdom, Crystals? I'll believe in a talkng cat, but the rest seems kinda nuts. But then again, they changed clothes right in front of me while chanting something, so I can't flat out deny them...)
By the way, is it possible for me to go home, back to where I came from.
(Luna) Well what summoned you here?
(Ranma) All I can remember is that in my world, there was a dense fog in this city and the Moon was the same shape it is here.
Oh yeah, there was also some kind of Music box playing a sad tune all around me before I passed out.
(Luna) Strange, that doesn't sound like anything we've come across thus far. We'd have to look into this much further if you're gonna go home.
(Usagi) But why would you even want to!? No offense but you're home doesn't sound anything like a home.
(Rei) No kidding, your "home" sounds more like hell to me.
(Ranma) Damn, okay. I understand what you mean, but you see, there are people that I love who are still back in that world and need me and I need them. So that's all there is to it.
(Usagi) (Wow, he seems so mature! Wait, how old is he again?) Ranma, how old are you again?
(Ranma)(M) Uh 17, why?
(Usagi) No reason, just reminded me of someone.
Some time passed as the girls and the one boy traded information, both sides still wary of the other, with exception of Usagi, who took Ranma's word for everything
(Ami) Well, it's getting pretty late, and I still have some studying to do as well. It was nice meeting you Ranma, and I'll see all of you tomorrow.
(Makoto) She's right, I don't study much, but it is pretty late right now, good night to you all.
(Rei) Goodbye everyone, and Ranma, I got my eye on you, you cross dresser.
Ranma laughed a little as the girl left with the other two.
(Usagi) That jerk, I know she's mean, but she's a good person Ranma.
(Ranma) Oh I don't mind it. It's been a very long time since someone has called me that, so I laughed a little.
Well, good night Usagi, I should sleep somewhere else so nobody figures out I'm here.
(Usagi) Where are you gonna go?
(Ranma) The roof, I may not seem like it, but I can sleep just about anywhere in any condition.
(Usagi) Well, if you're in your female form, I could just say you're a friend from school who fainted on the way home and no one would suspect a thing!
(Ranma) Are you sure, even while knowing I'm a guy?
(Usagi) Nah, it's fine! I wouldn't want one of my friends sleeping outside no matter who it was!
(Ranma) Okay, if it's fine with you. I'll sleep on the floor though.
Some time passed after it was lights out and neither person had fallen asleep yet.
(Usagi) Ranma? Are you awake?
(Ranma) Yeah, can't sleep with either huh?
(Usagi) Yeah... Can I ask you something?
(Ranma) Sure, what's up?
(Usagi) What's it like to fall in love?
(Ranma) Hm? Oh, that's right, you guys are in middle school. You're probably not allowed to have boyfriends yet.
Well, for me it was a rocky path because when we first met, we despised each other. I didn't like the way she was always arguing and tryin to be someone she wasn't. It was short lived though as the Apocalypse started. Afterwards, we accepted each other for who we were and fell in love. I tell ya, the feeling of just being around her made my day just that much better.
What about you Usagi, do you have a person you have feelings for yet?
(Usagi) Well, there is one person. I don't even know his true identity because he wears a mask. We call him Tuxedo Mask and he has been there to help us ever since the beginning. One day, I want to find out who he truly is and start a relationship with him!
(Ranma) Wow, you've really fallen for this guy, huh.
(Usagi) The weirdest part is that I feel like I remember him from another life or something, it's crazy!
(Ranma) You know, we should go to sleep now, good night Usagi and thanks, for everything.
It was the next morning, but today was different...
(Usagi) *Yawn* Jeez, what time is it?
(Luna) Wow, even for you this is pretty early, also where's your friend?
(Usagi) Oh Ranma, she's on the floor. Go back to bed.
(Luna) Um, no she isn't, she gone!
(Usagi) What, where is she?
(Luna) Well, let's see, it's . . . 5 IN THE MORNING!?
(Usagi) WHAAAAAAAA!?
(Luna) The windows open, maybe we can see where she went from here!
The pair looked outside to see that Ranma was on the lawn doing what seemed like stretches and training exercises.
Even with the small frame of the female body, you could see the force behind each technique he had learned over the years.
An hour later, after not being able to sleep after seeing the girl train in the lawn, Usagi woke up on time, a huge surprise to her own family.
By leaving on time, Usagi was even on time to school! Her classmates, including her friend Naru and even her teammate, Ami were at a loss for words for the girl that was always late, to be on time.
After school, Usagi and Ami walked together to meet the other sailor guardians at the usual shrine.
(Usagi) (In a tired voice) Hey everyone...
(Makoto) Wow Usagi, you don't look so good, what happened?
(Ami) Sh stayed up through an ENTIRE school day.
(Rei) WHAT!? Impossible, I thought she was incapable of stay awake through anything educational!
(Usagi) You guys are *yawn* so mean...
From the roof of the shrine a voice was heard.
(Ranma)(F) That might've been my fault. I'm used to getting up at 5 in the morning to get ready for supply runs. In the morning I train.
(Luna) Hey Usagi, maybe you should follow her example..
(Rei) When did you even get here, I didn't even see you come through the gate!
(Ranma) I jumped over the buildings. I had to become quieter when moving around so I could avoid the Infected.
(Ami) I wonder, if the Infected from your world are similar to the monsters we fight.
(Ranma) Well, for the Infected, I can't fight them head to head, so I have to use THIS!
Ranma then proceeded to proudly pull out his World War era pistol from its concealed holster. One key factor that he failed to remember, was that he was dealing with middle schoolers who had probably only seen guns on TV... Never in real life.
So to his surprise, the girls pulled out their wands, ready to transform again.
(Ranma) Huh? What, what is it? It's just a gun. I'm not gonna use it here unless it's absolutely necessary!
(Makoto) Why do you even have that thing?!
(Ranma) If you had heard me, I SAID it was what I used to kill Infected, since I can't fight them hand to hand.
(Rei) Still, it's not a weapon we're used to seeing used by a person with good intentions.
(Ranma) Well then what do YOU guys have for attacking and defeating monsters?
(Usagi) We have powers given to us by the power of the Sailor Guardian!
(Ranma) Okay...Suuuuuure... So can I see them?
(Makoto) Are you serious!? Our abilities could kill you and we could really hurt you on our own!
This is where a key mistake is made. To Makoto, the way she says it, she is trying to deter and warn Ranma.
For Ranma, this sentence has a different meaning.
To Ranma, this is a challenge being issued to him by a new opponent!
And to add fuel to the flame...
(Luna) I think that sounds wonderful! It could get you girls, especially Usagi, more prepared for your next battle with the Dark Kingdom!
(Ranma) Let's make this interesting. All of you, come at me at the same time and don't hold anything back.
Ranma was grinning as he issued the statement, confidant in his abilities and excited for his first real opponent in a long time.
The girls were confused but Rei was having none of it.
(Rei) You guys, think about it, the faster we beat her, the sooner this "training" ends and we can wipe THAT DAMN SMIRK OFF HER FACE!
The other girls agreed, and all transformed into their Sailor forms.
The first to attack was Rei.
Rei flew at Ranma using a flurry of punches to quickly take out her opponent, who was blocking each one with an odd technique of catching as many blows as he can. Ranma then grabs Sailor Mars by both hands and uses her small body and some kinetic energy to throw her into the air. Sailor Mars then uses her special technique to scorch the child, Fire Soul. Ranma, only seeing this technique for the first time, is only able to narrowly dodge the blast and resume the fight. But as he is recovering, Sailor Mars calls out to her fellow sailors.
(Sailor Mars) What the heck you guys, he said "all at once" remember! Get in here!
Upon finishing her sentence, the other sailors join the fray.
Sailor Mercury uses her special technique, bubble blast, to create a mist that envelopes the shrine. Ranma continues to block blows from Sailor Mars, but hastily adapts to avoid martial art blows from Sailor Jupiter.
Ranma then uses the mist to her advantage and suddenly disappears in the mist as the two combatants in front of her go for a finishing blow to quickly end the fight.
(Sailor Jupiter) Dammit, where'd she go!?
(Sailor Mars) I don't know. Sailor Mercury, you got a reading on her position?
(Sailor Mercury) What the- No, she's GONE!
(Ranma) YoU .
Before Sailor Mercury could turn around to face her opponent, a swift chop to the back of the neck knocked her out and withdrew her from the battle.
(All Remaining Sailor Guardians) Sailor Mercury!
This singular loss threw Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and even Sailor Moon into a frenzy!
This time, Sailors Mars and Jupiter flew at Ranma with an even stronger flurry of punches and kicks. Ranma could only block so many without sustaining damage. Focusing purely on defense. Ranma could hear what Sailor Jupiter shouted, but he backed away as she heard a crack of thunder as a bolt of lightning almost singed her scarlet red hair. But he had to do the same action again to avoid a spinning gold object that flew right in front of her. She followed the disk object until it returned to its owner, Sailor Moon. But, he couldn't question it as two energies filled with the rage of battle could be felt to her left. The pair was charging him once more, but this time he was more prepared. This time, he chopped each of their necks as he used their close shoulders to dodge their attack.
By now, the mist had cleared and there were only two combatants left. Ranma and Usagi.
The two stared at each other, waiting to see who would make the first move. That was, until Ranma fell forward as she passed out, energy completely depleted. Sailor Moon looked at Ranma, then to Luna and the others, then back to Ranma.
(Sailor Moon) Um... guys? I think we won!
(All of the Sailors in unison) ALRIGHT!
After the short celebration, the girls and Luna went to a nearby Cafe where Mamoru Chiba and Matoki Furuhata were sipping coffee and tea as the girls, and the red-head walked in.
As the girls passed by, Mamoru was curious and asked:
(Mamoru) Hey Bunhead, who's your new friend?
(Usagi) Mamoru! If you must know, this is Ranma. Ranma this is Mamoru, a jerk.
(Ranma) Hello there, I'm Ranma Saotome, nice to meet ya! And you are
(Motoki) Hi there, I Matoki Furuhata, pleasure to meet you.
You have some pretty good matters for a . . . . 10 year-old?
(Ranma) (Almost hissling at thought of being called a child, forgetting that he was in his cursed form.) I'm actually your age so...
(Mamoru) WHAT!? Wow, you're really short for your age huh? You're pretty much Usagi's height.
After a few hours, everyone went their own ways for the night, Ranma and Usagi went home as well but Ranma had to be careful about not alerting her family. God forbid her father finds a guy in his daughter's room!
After one day in this new world, Ranma still hadn't found a way to get home to his fiancee...
