*Tonight, Tonight, Tonight*

[Ranma look up at the night sky as the sun begins to rise and the song starts to play. As the song starts, Ranma looks to see Sunset, Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie jumped out from behind him.]

Woke up with yawn. It's dawning, I'm still alive
Turned on my radio to start up new day
As goddamned DJs chatter how to survive
Amazing news got over on the air wave

[Ranma starts reminiscing about his life up to when he got to Canterlot]

Tonight, love is rationed
Tonight, across the nation
Tonight, love infects worldwide
Almost another day

[Ranma gets up and charges into the sun rise. As he does, Master Asia appears and grins as he and Ranma prepare to spar.]

Woke up with yawn. It's dawning, im still alive
Turned down my radio to start up new day
As goddamned DJs chattered how to survive
Amazing news got over on the air wave

[Ranma smiles at the girls as he scratches his head]

Almost another day

[Ranma and all his friends are gazing at the stars in the night sky]

She's a shooting star, good night, good night
She's a shooting star, good bye

[The camera zooms in on Ranma as he smiles at a bunch of shooting stars]

See you some other day

Cures and Reunions

"Burn Knuckle!" Came the cry of one Flash Centry, as he shot forward towards his teacher Ranma with his fist covered in an aura of ki. Seeing his friend coming at him, Ranma side stepped the attack, grabbed him by the arm and threw him, using Flashes own momentum against him. Flash landed hard on the ground, growling at being so easily beaten again by his friend and mentor.

"Not bad Flash." Ranma said. "But that attack leaves you open for a few seconds after you use it. I suggest that you work on reducing the cool down time on that technique and only use it for when you know you have a clear shot at your enemy."

"Got cha, sensei." Flash said as he got back to his feet. Rainbow Dash and Applejack charged in next, each coming from opposite sides so as to have an advantage over Ranma.

"Rogafufuken!" Rainbow Dash called out as she charged at Ranma with rapid punches and kicks.

"Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken!" Applejack shouted as she unleashed a rapid barrage of right-handed jabs at Ranma.

Ranma just smirked as he retaliated. "Rogafufuken!" Ranma shouted as he countered Rainbow's and Applejack's attacks with his own. As he intercepted another of Rainbow's attacks, he tossed her into Applejacks onslaught. Applejack stopped her attack and tried to help her friend up.

"Sorry Rainbow!" She said. Rainbow shook the stars from her eyes.

"It's ok. Now come on, let's get him!" Rainbow said as she and Applejack charged at him again. Ranma smirked and prepared to defend himself again.

"Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku!" Rainbow called out and executed the spinning hurricane kick. Ranma jumped and flipped over the kick and landed in front of Applejack.

"Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken!" Applejack cried again as she once more attacked Ranma.

"Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken!" Ranma shouted as he retaliated with his own barrage of rapid-fire punches, only his came from both fists. Applejack soon found herself overwhelmed by the onslaught of punches and fell back as Ranma's punches wailed on her.

"AAGGHH!" She yelled and fell to the ground.

"Jackie!" Rainbow cried. She went at Ranma and engaged in a brief fist to cuffs. During the struggle, Ranma sweeped Rainbow's feet out from under her and punched her right in the gut, knocking her to the ground and knocking the wind out of her.

Ranma got up and dusted off his hands as he looked at his other two students.

"OK. That's enough for now guys. Take five." Ranma said. Flash helped the girls to their feet and they all went to get a sip of their waters that they placed to the side. After a few minutes reprieve, Ranma called them over to him.

"Ok guys, you're all coming along great. I just have a few critiques. Applejack..." He turned to the blond farm girl.

"You've gotten good at using that technique Master Asia taught you. But what is the one big difference you noticed between your version of the technique and mine?" He asked her. Applejack thought for a moment.

"Well, your version was faster." She said.

"Anything else?" Ranma asked. She thought for a few more seconds.

"You were using both of your hands and I was just jabbing with one." She replied. Ranma smiled and nodded.

"Right. And that's the real major problem with your technique. Not only are you cutting the effectiveness of your technique in half, but the fact that you're focusing so much on just using one hand that your other hand begins to lag behind the other. Also, by not using that other hand in conjunction with your main hand, you fail to have anything to use to counter any oncoming attacks. Got it?"

Applejack nodded her head in understanding.

"Got it, sensei."

Ranma nodded his head with a smile. He then turned to Rainbow Dash.

"And Rainbow," he began. "You're definitely the one who's gotten the hang of these techniques the most." He said to her. Rainbow smiled at that.

"But your patterns are getting predictable." He popped her bubble of pride. "While I'm glad you've gotten most of these techniques down, you need to use them more sparingly. Don't get too caried away with how cool these techniques are. As soon as you start getting too desperate, you get sloppy. Never forget that. Focus more on using these techniques as a surprise follow up. Not as a starting move. Got that?"

"Yes sir, sensei." Rainbow Dash nodded, a stern and determined look on her face. Ranma smiled at that. He really was proud of his three students. So proud in fact, that he decided it was time to up their training a bit.

"Ok. Now then, Flash, I want you to practice the Ansatsuken techniques, ok?" Flash nodded at his friends instruction.

"Yes sir." Flash headed off to another part of the yard to practice the Shoryuken and the Tatsumaki Senpu Kyaku. Ranma turns to Rainbow and Applejack with a slight grin on his face.

"And now my friends, we're going to learn something special today." Ranma said as his two friends/students gave him a quizzical look.

"And what's that sensei?" Rainbow asked. Ranma just smirked.

"Today, I'm going to be teaching you girls how to fire ki blasts."

At hearing that, Rainbow's eyes went wide as a smile spread across her face. Applejack looked from her grinning friend to their teacher.

"So, your going to teach us that thing you did to Celestia that one time at school?" Applejack asked. Ranma nodded.

"Yep." Ranma turned and fired a blue energy blast at a rock a few meters away and blew it to pieces. Rainbow and Applejack stared in astonishment at what they saw.

"AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash shouted. Applejack whistled. Ranma smirked at their reactions.

"Alright guys, I want you to start meditating and focus on your ki. As soon as you feel your ki, start channeling it into your hands. Focus on molding your ki into the shape of a sphere. We'll work on firing it later."

Rainbow and Applejack nodded their heads and went into their meditation. Following some other instructions from their sensei, the two girls held their hands open in front of themselves. As their ki started to flow, they began to channel it into their hands. At first, they didn't have much luck. But as time went by, they started managing to form a small spark of energy.

Just as they were starting to get the hang it, Master Asia came up to them.

"Sorry to interrupt kids, but it's time for you to get to school. I don't want Celestia to start bothering me because your training interfers with your education." He said to the gathered group.

"Aw." They all wined. Flash, Rainbow, and Applejack but their weighted backpacks on and started their jog with Ranma going ahead of them.

"Come on you guys! Push it! Push it!" Ranma kept saying to the others as they continued their jog to school. Just as they were getting closer, a splash of water came out of nowhere and drenched Ranma, once more transforming him into his bust female form.

"AAAAGGGHHHH!" She screamed in rage. "WHO DID THAT!" She shouted as she looked around for the colpret.

"Look! Up there!" Flash said pointing to one of the windows in a building right behind Ranma. She and the others looked up, and saw an old woman throwing out some water with a ladle, before retreating back into the window.

"Her again!?" Ranma screamed as the familiar lady disappeared again.

"Ok. That's it! I've had enough of this old hag and her water ladle!" Rainbow Dash said as she dashed up the side of the building to the window the old lady was just in. And when she got to the window...

"AHA!" She cried. But their was no one there. In fact, the room beyond the window looked like it hadn't been used in decades.

"Huh?" Was all she could say. Suddenly, Pinkie Pei jumped out from the door on the other side of the room.

"HA! Hey, where'd she go?" Pinkie asked as she looked around the room.

"Sheesh! If Rarity where in this room she'd scream bloody murder about how filthy it is."

"Pinkie!" Rainbow cried, snapping her back to the present moment. "Did you see that old lady anywhere while you were in that hallway?" Rainbow asked her crazy friend. Pinkie shok her head.

"Nope. I thought she was still in this room. That's why I busted in saying, 'HA!'" Pinkie said as she looked around the place.

"Seriously, when was the last time anyone bothered to clean this place?" She asked again. Rainbow looked around the room as well.

"Honestly, I don't think ANYONE'S even been in this room in years!" Rainbow said.

"Then who is that woman that keeps splashing Ranma?" Pinkie asked in frustration. Rainbow shook her head.

"I have no idea Pinkie. Let's just get going to school." And with that the girls headed off back to the street to rejoin their friends on the way to school. Ranma was fuming as she headed right for the bathroom to get some hot water.

As soon as Ranma came out, a water pipe busted above his head and splashed/changed him again.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" She cried as she became a woman again. "SERIOUSLY!?"

Ranma screamed as she went back into the bathroom to change yet again.

"Huh. That was totally random." Twilight said as she saw Ranma get splashed yet again.

"Yeah, but, when it comes to him and water, random is basically the norm." Pinkie said.

Ranma tried to enjoy the rest of his day, but...fate had other plans.

As Ranma was walking to his next class, the water fountain he was walking past exploded and splashed him again.

"WHAT THE HECK!?" Ranma cried as he was once more turned into a she. Ranma started heading for the bathroom to change again. As Ranma was changing with hot water again, the facet started shaking.

"Huh?" He said. He leaned in close, and then the facet exploded in his face.

Ranma looked exasperated as she wiped the water from her brow.

"I. Hate. This. Part. Of. My. Life." Ranma said.

Later that day, as he was taking notes in class, the sprinkler system went off. But only the one above him went off.

"Well, that's odd." Zecora said as she watched the scene. "Ranma, are you ok?"

"I'm. Just. Peachy." Ranma said as he, now she, let her desk and went to a different one. Only for the sprinkler above that seat to go off too.

"It looks as though something in the ether has it in for you today." Zecora said as the water kept pouring down on Ranma's head.

Later on, Ranma kept trying to get through his day, only for water to keep blasting him from out of nowhere! In the hallway, in the various classrooms, in the cafeteria, basically everywhere. Even when he was called into Celestia's office. When he went there to talk to Celestia after she called him in during his, 'rage outs' at the constant water splashes.

But as they were talking, yet another sprinkler went off above his head.

"Just for the record, I did NOT plan that." Celestia said to the steaming mad redhead. And it just kept going on like this. Not just all day...but all week. Day in and day out. Over and over and over and OVER!

And it wasn't just sprinklers. Water just seemed to pop up out of seemingly nowhere just to splash Ranma and trigger his curse. Water balloons, water guns, busted pipes, sinks, water fountains. Basically, anything that had water in it, exploded and splashed Ranma every single day. The worst part, it wasn't just at school.

Everywhere he went throughout the week, water just kept finding new ways to screw him over. From splashing him in public, to splashing him during training, to even getting him while he was trying to sleep.

The next week Ranma was walking to school solo. He was in a very bad mood. So much in fact, that he canceled that mourning's training with Flash, Rainbow and Applejack. As he kept walking to the school, he once more got hit by a random splash of water.

"ALRIGHT! WHO DID THAT!" Shouted the now female Ranma. She looked up, and sure enough, there was the same old lady as before.

"SERIOUSLY!? Don't you have anything better to do!?" She cried as she went off to school. As Ranma made it to the school, Pinkie jumped out of nowhere and hugged her from behind.

"Hello Ranko-chan!" Pinkie said as she grabbed Ranma's beasts.

"Hey Pinkie..." Ranma said with a heavy sigh. Pinkie stopped her fondling. Ranma wasn't fighting back. Heck, he wasn't even having any of his usual reactions. He just, seemed beaten.

"Um...you ok Ranma?" Pinkie asked, trying to get a rise from her gender swapping friend. Ranma sighed deeply.

"No. No I'm not." Ranma said to her friend. Pinkie's smile started to drop. And drop. Until it was gone.

"W...Why?" Pinkie asked as her hands fell from Ranma's chest.

"I hate this curse." Ranma said. "I can't go anywhere without getting splashed. I've been getting splashed more and more everyday. No matter how many times I change back, I get splashed all over again."

Pinkie was starting to panic. "Um. Oh, I know! I'll get you some hot water. That'll perk you up."

"What's the point?" Ranma said. Pinkie dropped her smile all together.

"Wh...What do you mean?" Pinkie asked. Tears starting to form in her eyes.

"What's the point of changing back when two seconds later, I get splashed with cold water all over again?" As soon as Ranma said that, she was once more hit by a random splash of water.

"See." She said as she walked off once again. As Pinkie watched the red head walk off, her eyes started to tear up. Rainbow Dash soon came up to her and noticed her trembling.

"Um, Pinkie? You ok?" She asked her dark pink haired friend.

"Something's wrong with Ranma. The sparkle in his eyes...it's...gone. It's just, gone." Pinkie said as she started sniffling.

"What?" Rainbow asked in confusion.

"He...he didn't react when I groped him. All the water hitting him these past few days, it's...it's...IT'S FINALLY BROKEN HIM!" Pinkie cried out as she began to sob the saddest tears she had ever cried. Rainbow couldn't help but hug her pink friend and pet her head comforting her.

Later that day, Rainbow and Pinkie were sitting with the others at the cafeteria, but Ranma was nowhere in sight. This fact alone was enough to cause the girls to be worried. The fact that Pinkie was crying into her chocolate cake and didn't seem to be enjoying it also screamed 'red flag.'

"WAAAAHHHH!" She cried.

"What's wrong Pinkie?" Fluttershy asked. Pinkie looked up to fer friend.

"*Sniff* Ranma's been in a huge funk. I tried to cheer him up, get on his nerves, I even tried to throw him a party to take his mind off things. But, but...HE WALKED RIGHT THROUGH IT AND DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO ENJOY HIMSELF!"

Pinkie took a bite of her cake.

"Not even this chocolate cake can make me feel better." As Pinkie took another bite the others couldn't help but agree with their crazy pink friend.

"You know, she's right. Ranma has been having one bad day after the another." Applejack said.

"I agree." Rarity chimed in. "It's almost as if water in general has got it in for him."

"Yeah, all that constant gender swapping must really be annoying. I mean, I know if I had to go through something like that all the time, I'd be flipping out a lot too." Twilight said as she took another bite of her own food.

"It just doesn't seem fair." Fluttershy said. "Ranma seems like such a good person, why does the universe seem to want to punish him so badly?" The others all took a deep breath and sighed.

"I don't know Fluttershy." Twilight said to her friend. "I just don't know." Rainbow finally got fed up with her friend's sob fest and spoke up.

"Ok that's it!" She said, slamming her hands onto the table. "Look, we've battled all kinds of crazy magic, we've bested enemies from another dimension, we even beat an actual, freaking, storm! Surely we can figure out how to get rid of one stupid, misally little curse."

"You would think, wouldn't you?" Applejack responded as she took another bite of her food.

"Well, if anybody has any bright ideas, I'm more than happy to hear it." Rarity chimed in.

They all started thinking, then Pinkie perked up as she got an idea.

"HEY! Sunset, you've been studying magic again, why don't you use some of your magic to cure Ranma!"

Sunset sighed dejectedly.

"Pinkie, I would do that in a heartbeat, but I've only just started getting back into studying magic. I don't have the knowledge or the skill to remove a curse." Then Sunset dropped her head in defeat. Suddenly, her head started rising and her eyes went wide. A thought came to her head. One that she couldn't believe she didn't have before.

"I am so STUPID!" She said slapping her palm on her for head. The others looked at her with confused looks.

"Um, darling, why would you call yourself stupid?" Rarity asked her red headed friend. Sunset leaned in with a big grinning smile on her face.

"Think about it: Who is the one person we know who has more magical experience than ANYONE in this whole world?" Sunset asked, putting emphasis on the 'this world' part. And her eyes kept focused on Twilight.

The others looked confused and looked to Twilight.

"Don't look at me." She said waving her hands. "I don't know anything about magic." She said to the others. Then after a second, her eyes went wide.

"But the other me does!" Then the others gasped in realization.

"PRINCESS TWILIGHT!" They all cried out in joy.

"DUH!" Rainbow said slapping her head. "How come none of us ever thought to ask her for help?"

"Heh heh. I guess we've all been so caught up in our own stuff with how peaceful and quite it's been, we just didn't think about it." Applejack said with a shrug.

"Man, do I feel like a dunce." Twilight chimed in. Fluttershy however, looked skeptical.

"But, do you really think that Princess Twilight will be able to help Ranma with his curse?" She asked.

"Pssh. Of course she can!" Pinkie chimed in. "She's the literal Princess of Magic!"

"And, she knows of at least three or four libraries loaded with magical scrolls and books. Surely one of them has some clue as to fix Ranma's curse." Sunset added in.

"It does sound like she may be our option." Rarity said with a smile.

"Then what are we waiting for!? Sunset! Wip out that magic note book of your and start sending an Equestria Text." Pinkie said pointing to her friend.

"I'm already on it Pinkie!" Sunset said as she pulled out said book and started writing.

"Dear Princess Twilight, how have you been? Sorry I haven't written in a while. I know this may seem out of the blue, but me and the others have a big favor to ask of you..."

After lunch the girls rushed from the cafeteria and started looking for Ranma...but he wasn't at any of the usual spots. Not by his locker, not in what was supposed to be his next class, not by the nurse's office. Eventually they went to Principle Celestia's office to see if either she or Vice Principle Luna had seen him.

After explaining the missing Ranma, Celestia and Luna looked down casted.

"In all honesty girls," Celestia started. "Ranma just up and left a while ago."

"WHAT!?" The girls screamed in a panic.

"What do you mean he left!?" Rainbow asked as she slammed her hands on Celestia's desk.

"Well, I saw Ranma walking down the hall and thought it be fun to mess with him, so I activated the sprinklers over his head and activated his curse. I was hoping to get a reaction out of him. But he just stood there. Looked around, sighed and walked off." Celestia said.

"I went after him but he was already out the door. I tried to stop him, but as soon as I got out the door, he was out of my sights." Celestia looked down in shame and hurt.

"We already called Master Asia and he said that this kind of thing happens to Ranma a lot. He said we should just give him some space and he'll come back on his own after he calms down." Luna said as she put a hand on her sister's shoulder.

The mane seven, for their part, were not happy at all upon hearing this news.

"But, but we had some good news to tell him." Pinkie said, once more on the verge of tears.

"Oh, poor Ranma." Fluttershy said. "He must really be feeling depressed if he would just walk out of school like that."

Applejack however, was not going to stand for it.

"Well, too bad! Come everyone! We're going after that boy, and we're going to bring him back even if we have to hog tie him!" Applejack said as she grabbed her friends and marched for the door.

"Yeah! I with ya sister!" Rainbow Dash said as she followed the blonde out the door.

"B-but school...It's not over yet!" Twilight said, hyperventilating. "W-we can't just leave!"

"Do you NOT care about our poor depressed gender swapping friend!" Pinkie screamed in Twilight's face. Twilight gulped.

"No-no I care. It-It's just that..." Celestia butted in.

"Actually, I think you girls should go out and find him. You know him best and you might be able to talk him down." Twilight looked at the principle.

"But school..." she started. Celestia took a slip of paper and scribbled something on it.

"This is a one-time thing." She said. "But I'm giving you girls a free pass on school today to go and find Ranma before his depression makes him do something he may regret later." She said handing them the slip.

"Now get going my little school girls and find our favorite trouble maker."

Twilight suddenly did a 180 and said, "Well, you heard the woman. ONWARD!"

And with that, the girls hit the town, looking high and low for the pigtailed boy turned girl. But after almost an hour of searching, they still came up empty handed.

"Man!" Rainbow said as they regrouped. "How can we not find Ranma in our own home town? I mean, we know this place like the back of our hands, we should have found him by now."

"And yet, we've got nothing. Nadda. The big zero." Twilight said while cleaning her glasses.

"Oh, I do hope he's alright." Fluttershy said as she sat on a curb. Pinkie sat next to her and dropped her head on the other girl's lap.

"Hmm!" She wined. "I want my Ranma..." Fluttershy stroked her fellow pinkettes' hair.

"We couldn't have looked everywhere." Rarity interjected. "There must be some place we haven't looked."

They all started thinking. And while they did, Applejack caught sight of something that startled her.

"I'm sorry," She began. "But does anyone else see that pile of umbrellas fixed together like a make shift hut over there?"

The others looked where she was pointing, and sure enough, there was a dome made of open umbrellas sitting in an ally way. Sunset looked at it with a tilted head.

"Hey guys, you don't think..." She trailed off.

"No." Twilight said. "He wouldn't...Would he?"

"With the week he's been having?" Rainbow Dash pointed out.

"One way to find out." Applejack said as they all walked toward the umbrella hut.

"Hello?" Pinkie said as she poked at the structure.

"Go away." came the unenthusiastic reply of a very familiar voice.

"Yep. It's him alright." She said. She tapped it again.

"Ranma. It's us." She said in a concerned voice.

"Pinkie?" Ranma asked.

"Yeah." She replied. "And I brought the others too. We want to talk to you."

"Thanks. But I'm not coming out." He said dejectedly. Sunset walked up to the bundle of umbrellas.

"Um, Ranma, I know you're trying to keep from being splashed, but don't you think this is going a bit too far?" She asked. Ranma said nothing, he just quickly stepped his foot out of the bundle and retreated back before a splash of water came out of nowhere and splash the spot where his foot once stood.

"Ok, how the heck did that not hit me?" She asked as she looked up and saw the same old lady that has been bugging Ranma since he first showed up. Rainbow dashed up to the window at break neck speed with Pinkie in tow and this time the two girls finally caught the old lady.

"AHA!" They both cried out as they grabbed the old lady. But as they put the squeeze on her, the old woman suddenly vanished!

"Huh?" Rainbow said as she looked at the spot where the old woman once stood.

"Pinkie?" She began to say.

"Yeah?" The pink haired girl answered her rainbow haired friend.

"D-did you see...what I just saw?"

"You mean, the old lady just simply vanishing right as we finally grabbed her?"

"Yeah."

"I did. But I don't believe it." Pinkie said as she started shaking with a slight bit of fear.

"Yeah. Me neither." Rainbow said as she and Pinkie started inching towards the window they came in from.

"Let's, just get back to Ranma and the others." The rainbow haired girl said.

"Good idea." Pinkie agreed as Rainbow Dash grabbed her friend and dashed back to the others.

"Well?" Twilight asked her. "Did you manage to get her this time?" Her two friends looked pale and spooked.

"Um, no. No we didn't." Rainbow said as she and Pinkie tried to regain their composure.

"Anyway..." Sunset went back to talking to Ranma through the pile of umbrellas.

"Ranma, what would you say if I told you that I might know a way to cure you of your curse?"

"I'd laugh." Ranma said in a flat tone of voice.

"Laugh?" They all said at said.

"Yeah. Like this...AAHHAHAHA HA HAHA!" Ranma said as he started laughing. Sunset and the others looked at the pile of umbrellas and shook their heads at Ranma's flippent attitude.

"Really?" Rainbow said. "We bring you a possible cure to your curse, and you treat it like a dang joke?" Ranma stopped laughing.

"Look, girls," He started. "It's not that I don't appreciate what you're trying to do, but, it's just that, there is no cure." He finished.

"Master Asia and I spent a lot of our time during our travels trying to find one. In China, they said that if I tried bathing in another cursed spring, its curse would just fuse with my current one." The others cringed at the idea.

"And everywhere we asked, every mystic and shaman we met told us that there was no true cure to be found. Ways to stall it, sure, ways to lock it in place once activated, tons. But cures? Nope." He said in defeat. But the girls were not having it. Fluttershy walked up to the pile to speak to her friend.

"But Ranma," she said. "There may not be a cure in this dimension, but we know someone from another one who might have one."

"Say what?" Ranma said in surprise. Now, it was Sunset's turn.

"You remember that magic princess friend of ours that we told you about?" She asked him.

"You mean the one that looks like a dead ringer for Twilight and comes from a world where everyone is a horse?" Ranma asked in return.

"Ponies, yes." Sunset corrected him. "Anyway, we managed to get in touch with her and she says that she has some free time and can come over to our dimension and take a look at your curse. And no one in Equestria knows more about magic than her and Princesses Celestia and Luna, so there's a small chance that she may be able to use her magic to cure you."

At hearing that, Ranma jumped out of the umbrellas, shouting in joy.

"OO-DE-LALLY! What the hell are we waiting for!" He shouted, only for a splash of cold water to hit him as he did so. Ranma started growling as she looked up and saw the same old woman from before retreating into her window.

"WHAAAAAAA!" She shouted in rage and frustration. As she did, Pinkie grabbed a hold of the wet red head and nuzzled her face into Ranma's bossom.

"PINKIE! GET OFF!" Ranma screamed as she walloped Pinkie on top of her head. Stars flew around the crazy pink girl's head as she slid to the ground.

"I think he's fine now." Pinkie said in a drunken stupor.

About an hour later, a now male Ranma was standing in front of the statue in front of the school.

"So, we just wait here for your magic pony princess friend to come flying out of the mirror on this statue?" He asked his seemingly excited friends.

"Yep!" Pinkie said with a smile on her face.

"I can't wait to see the other me again." Twilight said. "I wonder what kind of scientific and magical discoveries she's made since we last saw her?"

"I wonder what kind of awesome adventures she's had with the other versions of us?" Rainbow Dash added.

"I sure wish she could have brought the others with her. I would have loved to talk apple farming with the other me in Equestria." Applejack said.

"And I would have loved to hear about all the cute and adorable animals in Equestria from Pony Fluttershy." Fluttershy said with a dreamy smile on her face.

"I personally would love to know how my interdimensional twin's boutiques are doing." Rarity chimed in. "I'm sure we could exchange all kinds of fashion advice."

Ranma thought about what having two Raritys and two Pinkies would be like, and shuddered.

'Two fashion crazy gossips I can handle. But TWO PINKIES!? UH-UH!' He thought to himself.

"Soooo...how long does it usually take for other Twilight to show up anyway?" He asked his friends.

"Well," Sunset began. "It depends really. Could be a few minutes, maybe another hour or two or..." She was cut off mid-stream when the mirror on the statue started to glow, and a young girl, who looked like a clone of Twilight, but without glasses and with her hair loose and free, and a dog that looked like a perfect double of Spike, fell right in front of the gathered group of friends.

"Never mind." Sunset said. The other Twilight got up on shaky legs.

"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late. Wha-wha! WHOA!" She cried as she lost her balance and fell. But before she could fall to the ground, Ranma reached out and caught her in his arm.

"Heh heh. First day with your new legs?" He asked. Other Twilight looked up and blushed.

'Oh my gosh. He's cute. He's cute. He's really, really cute.' Twilight thought to herself.

"Wow. You really are a dead ringer for Twilight." Ranma said as he helped the girl to her feet. As he did so, the two Spikes met up with each other.

"Hey other me." One Spike said to the other.

"S'up other me." The other Spike replied as they pumped paws.

As other Twilight got back to her feet, all the other girls ran up to her and embraced her in a group hug.

"Hey guys." She said as she hugged them back. As the others let go, Pinkie kept hugging other Twilight and started rubbing her face into the other girl's boobs.

"I see your Pinkie is going through this phase too." Other Twilight said with an annoyed look on her face.

"You mean, this is just a phase?" Rarity asked her other worldly friend. Other Twilight nodded.

"At least I hope so." She said as she pries Pinkie off of her. "The Pinkie in my world is at that stage where she's looking for a mate." That made everybody pale.

'Pinkie? Looking for a mate?' Pinke on the other hand, looked excited.

"REALLY!? Soooo, does she have anybody in mind?" She asked the princess from another world.

"Well, there is this one guy, but I try not to pry into her business." Other Twilight said. Sunset then walked up to her friend and magic mentor.

"What, Princess of Magic doesn't like digging into the life of the weirdest anomaly in the world?" She asked teasingly. Suddenly, Other Twilight blushed and smiled sheepishly.

"Actually," She started to say. "I'm no longer Princess."

"WHAT!?" The others shouted in shock. Other Twilight grinned.

"I am now Queen Twilight Sparkel, ruler of all Equestria." She proclaimed proudly with her hands on her hips, thrusting her chest out proudly.

Ranma's and everyone else's eyes went wide.

"QUEEN!?" They all cried out.

"Wait," Sunset said. "So, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna actually stepped down?" She asked.

"Yep" Other Twilight answered.

"Wait." Ranma finally chimed in. "So, I'm speaking to ACTUAL royalty?" He asked in utter shock.

Applejack and the others bowed to their friend.

"All hail QUEEN Twilight Sparkle!" Applejack said in a playfully commanding tone.

"All hail!" Everyone, including Ranma, cheered. Other Twilight giggled at their antics.

"Oh come on you guys." She said as they all got up.

"So, I take it that this guy right here is the one you wanted me to help out, right?" She asked, pointing to Ranma. He scratched the back of his head and chuckle sheepishly.

"Yep. That's me." He said. Other Twilight started looking him up and down.

"Sooooo, what exactly is this curse of yours?" She asked.

"Well..." Ranma started to say, until a splash of cold water hit him and changed him back into a girl. She looked over and glared at Pinkie, who was holding an empty bucket.

"Thanks Pinkie." She said sarcastically.

"You're welcome!" Pinkie answered with a big smile. Before Ranma could do anything to get back at the dark pink haired girl, Other Twilight starting running around Ranma and touching, poking, and groping her body.

"WHOA! Oh my gosh! I've never seen a complete body transformation like this before! Tell, me, do your thoughts change at all when you turn into a girl? Do you get PMS? Do your senses change at all? Is that body fully functional? Are these real? Are they sensitive?" Other Twilight asked a string of questions as she ran her hands over Ranma's female body. Groping her large bosom as she asked her last two questions.

"Are you having fun?" Ranma asked, looking very annoyed. Other Twilight looked up at the red-haired girls blue eyes, and grinned sheepishly.

"Heh heh heh. Sorry." She said, letting go of Ranma's breasts.

"Tee hee hee. I know. Hard to resist aren't they?" Pinkie asked, leaning in to whisper into Other Twilight's ear. Ignoring Pinkie's comment, Queen Twilight went back to inspecting Ranma.

"So, how long have you had this curse? And how did you get it in the first place?" She asked. Ranam heaved a big sigh and told her about his experience in China.

"Ouch." Queen Twilight said. "That guy REALLY should have done his research before dragging you to a place like that."

Ranma laughed.

"My dad? Do research? Yeah, that's never going to happen. The only kind of research he'd ever do involves an all you can eat buffet." He/she said with a role of her eyes.

"Heh. Sounds like Pinkie at that big candy factory down by Myrtle each in South Carolina." Rainbow Dash said with a laugh.

"I was about to say the same thing." Queen Twilight said with a chuckle.

"So, do you think you can do anything to help him?" Fluttershy asked her magical friend. Queen Twilight hummed and stroked her chin.

"Hmm. I wish I had brought Discord with me. He probably could have done this with a snap of his fingers." At hearing this Ranma looked both confused and a little let down.

"But don't worry!" Queen Twilight said, causing Ranma and the others to perk up.

"I brought something from the secret library in the castle that should help us out. Spike." She said holding out her hand expectantly. The two Spikes looked at each other and then back to the other worldly queen.

"Umm? Which one?" They both asked. Queen Twilight looked at them with a look that said, 'Really?'.

"The one who came with me." She said bluntly.

Other Spike blushed sheepishly and went to the bag that had fallen through the portal with them. He rummaged through it, and pulled out an old looking book whose pages made it look as thick as a person's head.

Sunset looked at the Equestrian writing on the books cover.

"The Big Book of Curses?" She read aloud.

"Hmph. Catchy title." Ranma said.

Queen Twilight opened the book and started flipping through its pages.

"Now, Ranma, you said that your curse is triggered by water right?" She asked the aqua transexual. Ranma nodded.

"Yep. Cold water turns me into a hot, thick and busty red-head and hot water turns me back into my regular guy self." She answered.

"Got it." Queen Twilight said as she flipped to a certain section of the book called, "Water activated curses'".

"Let's see," She said to herself as she skimmed through the pages.

"Man to cat (Ranma cringes slightly). Man to dog. Girl to Dog. Man to rhino. Woman to swan."
"I LOVE that movie!" Pinkie cried out.

"Me too." Fluttershy added in. Queen Twilight kept going.

"Woman to man. Man to child. AH! Here it is! Man to Woman curses triggered by cold water!" She read aloud in triumph.

"That's...eerily specific and spot on in relation to my problem." Ranma couldn't help but say.

Queen Twilight ignored Ranma's wise-guy comment and silently read through the pages referring to the curse. She skimmed down the page that she was hoping would give some insight as to how the curse could be removed, and as she read it, her contorted in a snear.

"Eeagh" She said. Ranma felt her spirits drop again.

"I knew it." She said. "I knew it. I knew it. It's uncurable, isn't it?" Ranma started pulling on her hair.

'I'm going to be stuck like this forever.' She thought to herself.

"No, no. It's curable..." Twilight started saying, but didn't get a chance to finish as Ranma grabbed her and pulled her close.

"You better not be pulling my leg you, you, magic girl from another world you." Ranma said in a menacing tone as she glared at Queen Twilight.

"You are really paranoid about cures to this curse of yours, aren't you?" Queen Twilight asked the red head. Ranma let go of her and rubbed her arm, chuckling sheepishly.

"Heh heh. Yeah, sorry about that." Ranma said. Queen Twilight straightened out her top.

"It's ok." She said. "But, however..." She started, and Ranma frowned again.

"What is it?" The red-haired aqua-transexual asked.

"Well, while there is a spell to remove the curse, it's a very complicated spell. And outside of Equistria my magic isn't as powerful as it usually is. So, I might need some help." She said as she looked over towards Sunset.

Sunset looked around and then pointed at herslef.

"Me!?" She asked in surprise. Queen Twilight nodded her head.

"Yep. You Sunset." She answered. Sunset started waving her hands and shaking her head.

"No no no no." She said. "I'm not ready for something this complicated. I've only just got started learning how to do magic again. Shouldn't you go get Starlight or someone more experienced?" She tried to argue. But Queen Twilight shook her head and placed a hand on Sunsets shoulder.

"Come on Sunset." She began. "I know this may seem a bit advanced but I really need your help with this. And plus, I kind of sent Starlight on a diplomatic mission already so she's unavailable. Besides, I have faith in you. I'll guide you through the spell, I just need someone to help back me up."

Sunset looked down at her feet, took a deep breath, smiled at her friend and mentor, and smiled as she nodded her head.

"Ok. Let's do it." She said confidently. Queen Twilight nodded and showed her the incantation for the spell. As they went over this, the others gathered around Ranma.

"Well? How does it feel to know that you may soon be free of this curse of your once and for all?" Rarity asked him/her. Ranma couldn't help but smile.

"It's...it's unbelievable." She said. "I can't believe that in another minute I may FINALLY be all dude again!" Applejack clapped a hand on Ranma's back.

"Sorry it took so long for us to come up with this idea sugar cube." She said. Ranma blushed.

"It's okay AJ." She said. Fluttershy came up to Ranma and gave him a quick hug.

"So, what are you going do once you get cured?" She asked her friend. Ranma thought about it for a moment.

"Well." She said aloud. "I haven't really thought about it. But, I guess I'll finally be able to enjoy feeling cold water splashing my face without feeling my body switch between genders. Maybe I'll..." She was cut off by Pinkie latching onto Ranma's body and smothering herself in her breasts.

"WHAAAHHH!?" Ranma screamed. "PINKIE! WHAT THE HECK!?"

"Pinkie!? What are you doing?" Earth Twilight asked in shock.

"Ranma might get cured soon, so I'm trying to get as much fun time as I can with this sexy body of yours Ranma!" Pinkie said as she humped Ranma's shapely behind and grouped and fondled her breasts.

Ranma growled at his/her horny friend. Rainbow and Applejack creeped up behind Pinkie and gave her a double bop upside her head.

"UhUhghUhgh..." Pinkie said as she saw stars. Ranma stepped out of Pinkie's grip and watched her slump into Rainbow and AJ's arms.

"Thanks." She said to her two students.

"Anytime sensei." Rainbow Dash said. Rarity was next to walk up to Ranma.

"I must admit, I am going to miss trying to get you to model for me." She said with a smile. Ranma smiled back at the fashionista.

"I'm sure not going to miss that. Or that time you tried to dress me up like Ariel in a pink dress." She said crossing her arms.

"This may be the last time I'll ever get the chance to say this, but that body has been sorely wasted on you." Rarity retorted, lightly punching Ranma in the arm.

"Yuri/lesbian Ranma and Rarity...eeeaaahhhhh..." Pinkie said, still in her punch-drunk stupor.

"Poor Pinkie" Twilight said. "Knocked silly."

"How long do you think she'll be like that?" Ranma asked.

"OK Ranma, we're ready!" Queen Twilight called out. Pinkie shot back up at the that.

"NO! WAIT! I don't want to say goodbye to Ranko-chan yet!" Pinkie cried out. Ranma walked up to the pinkette and hugged her.

"It's ok Pinks." Ranma said. "Man or woman, you know I'm always going to be there to give you a hug." Ranma said. Pinkie calmed down and hugged him/her back. Afterwards, Ranma walked over to Sunset and Queen Twilight.

"Ok. I'm ready. Do your thing magic girls." Queen Twilight and Sunset looked at each other and held hands.

"Ok Sunset, follow my lead and when you cast the spell, imagine the curse is a thread that you're pulling out from the seam." Queen Twilight said to her red-haired friend. Sunset nodded.

"Ok. That sounds more like Rarity's forte, but, I'll give it my best." Sunset said to her royal friend.

" Do or do not, there is no try." Pinkie said out of nowhere. Queen Twilight started chanting the spell and Sunset followed suit. As they began to chant, an aura of pinkish-purple magic energy surrounded them as the wind started to pick up.

"Ranma. One last thing, this may hurt a little bit." Queen Twilight said. Ranma gulped.

"Um...how much is this gonna hurt?" Ranma asked. She didn't answer as she and Sunset focused their magic energy and fired it at Ranma.

"YEEEAAHHHHH!" Ranma cried out as he was blasted with energy. Queen Twilight and Sunset felt the curse try to resist their spell, they focused harder, doing their best to not lose the battle of wills they had found themselves in with the curse their friend had been stuck with for two years.

After about a minute, a small explosion accrued, blasting the girls back a bit. As the smoke cleared, a very masculine cough could be heard coming from the accumulated cloud of smoke.

"*Cough, cough* Ugh...Oh my aching head." Ranma said as he got up from the smoke. The girls all looked up and gasped. Gone was the form of a beautiful red-head girl with the dynamite bod, and in her place was Ranma's original black haired male body.

"It worked." Sunset said with a slight surprise. She then smiled a big smile. "It worked!"

Ranma looked down at himself. Male hands and arms, male looking body, lack of sexy feminine curves, and no boobs.

"I'm back." He said with surprise. He started to crack a girn. "I'm back!" And now his grin turned into a big goofy smile.

"I'M BACK! YAHOO!" Ranma shouted as he jumpped into the air, pumping his fist in excitement. Ranma was so happy he started jumpping and doing flips all over the place.

"I'm free! Yahoo! I'm cured! I'M CURED!" Then he stopped. "Am I cured?" He asked no one in particular.

"Quick! Someone get me some cold water! Someone get me some *SPLASH*...water." He finished saying as he looked to see Pinkie holding a now empty bucket of water.

"Thanks Pinkie." Ranma said.

"Aw, you didn't turn into a busty red-head. Wahh!" Pinkie said as she mock cried. Ranma patted himself down.

"It worked." He said to himself. "It worked. IT WORKED!" He cried. Then he adopted a somber look and went to some bushes.

"Um Ranma?" Earth Twilight called to him. "What are you doing?" Ranma looked back to his bespectacled friend.

"I've...got to go check something only a guy can check. Just to make sure I'm a guy all the way through." He said to his friends.

"I could, uh, check that for ya." Pinkie said with a smile. Ranma just glared and shook his head as he went behind a bush. A few seconds later...

"YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO!" Came the cry of joy that Ranma had been holding in reserve for years.

"I'M CURED! I'm finally cured! YEAHOO! I'm never gonna be a girl again! Never gonna be a girl again! Never gonna be a girl again! I'm free!" Ranma cried as he started jumping and flipping around like an acrobat. He then landed in front of Sunset and Queen Twilight and kissed their cheeks.

"Thanks Sunset! You're the best! (Kisses her cheek.) And thank you too you magic princess from another world you! (Kisses her cheek)"

Sunset and Queen Twilight both blushed from the show of affection.

"Um..." Queen Twilight said. "Quite the affectionate one, isn't he?" Sunset chuckled.

"Heh heh. Yeah well, we did just get rid of a curse that he's been stuck with for two years."

Suddenly, they heard a splash and turned to see Ranma splashing around in the school fountain. All the girls ran to the fountain as Ranma just kept splashing himself with water.

"Ranma!" Earth Twilight cried out. "What are you doing!?"

"Splish splash, I'm taking a bath! Ha ha ha!" Ranma said, laughing all the while.

"But, isn't that water cold?" Fluttershy asked.

"Freezing!" He said. "But I don't care!" Rarity came up to the fountain.

"Ranma! Get out of there right now! You could catch a cold or pneumonia or worse." Ranma just splashed some water at Rarity.

"I don't care!" He said. "Wahahahaha!" After a little more laughter, Ranma got out of the water and suddenly, became dry.

"Um, how did you dry off like that?" Both Twilights asked Ranma.

"I just used my ki to dry myself off." He said.

"YOU CAN DO THAT!?" They all asked him. Ranma chuckled.

"Well, yeah. It's all about using my elemental affinity to heat up my ki."

"Whoa whoa whoa! Elemental affinity? You mean like in that manga Naruto?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Or like in Avatar the last Airbender?" Pinkie chimed in. Ranma smiled.

"Basically yeah." Both girls started getting stary eyed.

"I think you just found your next lesson plan sensei." Applejack said. Ranma couldn't help but smile at that. Pinkie then perked up.

"Hey! I just thought of something!" Everyone looked at her.

"Now is the perfect time for a party!" She said. Ranma looked at her.

"Party?" Ranma asked. Pinkie nodded.

"Of course! It's the perfect chance to throw you one of your 16 parties that I promised. What better special occasion to throw you a party than to celebrate you being free of your curse! Even if it means I'll never see your sexy girl form again."

Ranma and the others shook their heads at the crazy girl. Pinkie perked up and pulled them all close.

"Come on everybody! Let's PARTY!"

"Heheh. Alright, Let's party baby!" Ranma cried out. Pinkie dragged them all to the café and threw a big party.

"Hey um, Twilight, I mean, your majesty?" Ranma asked the magical royal.

"Ranma, we're friends. You can just call me Twilight. So, what's up?" Queen Twilight asked.

"Well, I feel like I should thank you for helping me out. So, is there anything I can do to help you out?" He asked his new friend. Queen Twilight took a sip of her drink.

"No thanks Ranma. I'm good. However..." She trailed off. Ranma then saw Flash and remembered t the other told him about her and Flashes relationship and grinned as he got an idea.

"Hang on. I know just what you need." He said. Queen Twilight looked at him confused.

"Wha...?"

"Hey Flash!" He cried out. Queen Twilight stiffened and blushed as her eyes went wide. Ranma dashed over to Flash and put an arm around his shoulder.

"Uh, what's up Ranma?" He asked his friend and sensei.

"I want you to say hi to the friend that helped me get rid of my curse." He said as he dragged then threw him at the seat next to Twilight.

"Oof." Flash said as he looked up and saw the girl he thought he'd never see again.

"Twilight!?" He said in shock.

"Flash! Hi!" Queen Twilight said trying, and failing, to sound nonchalant.

"Hi"

"Hey"

"Hey"

"Hello"

"Hello"

They both tried to act cool and composed. And both failed at it. Ranma just watched and smirked at the two love birds trying not to look at eachother.

"Soooo, uh, how have you been?" Flash asked the girl that stole his heart so long ago.

"Fine. Fine." Queen Twilight said with a huge blush on her face.

"I, uh, I'm not a princess anymore." She told him.

"What?" Flash cried in shock. Twilight smirked at him.

"I'm queen now." She said. That made Flash's jaw drop.

"Really?" Twilight scooted closer and as her smirk grew.

"Yeah. So..." She trailed off as she took a closer look at Flash. "Have you been working out?" She asked. Flash blushed.

"Yeah. Actually I have. Ranma's been teaching me how to fight." Flash said with a cocky smile.

"Really!?" Now Twilight was really shocked.

"Wow. You've changed a little bit since last time we've met huh?" She said.

"Well, a little." Flash said. "But not much." He said as he leaned closer to her.

"Really?" She said as she leaned closer to Flash.

"Yeah. I mean, I still..." He trailed off.

"Still what?" Queen Twilight said as she got closer. They drew closer and closer until...

"HEY GUYS!" Pinkie screamed as she popped up in between the two of them.

"Uh, hey Pinkie." Flash said as Pinkie pulled them both into a big hug.

"So, are you guys enjoying the party?" Pinkie asked the two of them.

"Yes, we are." They both said in disappointed tones. But Pinkie was too happy to notice.

"Oh boy." Ranma said as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Earth Twilight showed up and patted him on the back.

"How ya doing champ?" She asked him.

"I'm fine. But Pinkie sure doesn't seem to know when not to spoil a mood." He said. Twilight giggled.

"Yeah. You get used to that after a while." She then leaned in and kissed Ranma's cheek. He blushed.

"W-what was that for?" He asked his savior's twin.

"Just a congratulations on being cured gift." She said blushing. Before Ranma could say anything, Pinkie popped up and kissed his other cheek.

"What? You thought I wouldn't get in on this?" She said. Rarity sauntered up and kissed his cheek as well.

"I'm just happy your not so depressed anymore Ranma darling." She said to her friend. Applejack and Rainbow Dash gave him a double cheek kiss.

"Hope you enjoy having your all male life back sensei!" Rainbow said. Applejack chuckled.

"Yep. And you better tell us about that elemental stuff you were talking about before too."

Fluttershy came up and pecked his cheek as well.

"I...I'm glad we could help you Ranma." She said blushing as red as his hair once was.

"Hey hey hey. Don't I get in on this too?" Sunset said as she came up to the gathered group of friends.

"I mean, I did most of the work." She pulled Ranma close. "Happy get rid of your curse day Ranma. Sorry it took us so long to help you get rid of it." She said kissing his cheek. Ranma didn't say anything. He couldn't. His brain had stopped working. He did the only thing he could do as his friends all laughed at the dumbstruck look on his face...

Blush.

Applejack: Howdie everybody! Well, Ranma's finally got rid of his curse. And now he seems happier than ever. In fact, he spends most of the next chapter showing off that he's cured. Rubbing it in peoples faces. But then, our old enemies the Dazzlings show up. Wait, why did what they say to Ranma bug him so much. Well, tune in next time to find out on the next chapter of Equestria Wild Horse: Bullies and Confessions. See ya then.
