Ranma Half Moon chapter 76 "The First Mysterious Transfer Student Part One".

Author's note: This episode happens during the Sailor Moon episode 36 "Usagi is Confused! Is Tuxedo Kamen Evil?".

Tsukino Usagi tosses and turns in bed in the middle of a troubling dream. In the dream, the Princess of the Moon chases Prince Endymion to try to prevent him from rushing into battle but cannot keep pace with him. Prince Endymion looks back with a smile to promise that he will be okay and that he will come back.

A fire flares in the dream, preventing the Princess of the Moon from following Prince Endymion. Endymion continues to run into the inferno.

...

Ranma-ko tosses and turns on her futon in the middle of a troubling dream. In the dream she chases after Mamoru, desperate to prevent him from having to fight by himself. However, a mass of vines impedes her progress, similar to the vines that roses would grow on, but instead of thorns there are Rainbow Crystals.

Mamoru looks back with a smile to promise that he will be okay and that he will come back. The vines hold Ranma-ko immobile and can Ranma-ko can only look on in horror.

...

Hibiki Ryoga tosses and turns in bed in the middle of a troubling dream. In his dream he chases after Saotome Ranma who taunts him, challenging Ryoga to fight him in the clearing up ahead. However, Ranma changes into multiple Ranma's who start running in different directions. Ryoga stops, but the ground beneath him continues to move, pulling him away from the multiple Ranma's.

...

Usagi turns in her sleep, and her arm lands on Luna, trapping her.

...

Tendo Akane turns in her sleep and lands an elbow to the body of P-chan (Hibiki Ryoga's transformed form, a small pig) waking Ryoga up.

...

Kunzite tosses and turns in bed in the middle of a troubling dream. In his dream Kunzite, Zoisite and Mamoru practice sword fighting, with Mamoru taking on both Zoisite and Kunzite at the same time. Everyone is in high spirits, as Mamoru's practice sword effortlessly thwarts their attacks.

Zoisite giggles. "Prince-sama, I learn more about fighting in one sparring session with you than I do in a month of normal practice."

"Practice is still important. One needs to put one's whole heart and passion into an activity to make sure one can master it."

Kunzite goes for a strike which just misses.

"You're getting better, Kunzite, that's the closest someone has come to me in some time."

Kunzite wakes up with a start. What was that pleasant atmosphere? Was everyone at one point friends?

Kunzite looks to his bedpost. The hair of Sailor Moon is still there. Kunzite smiles. Today my new plan will explode and I will discover Sailor Moon's secret identity.

...

Ranma-kun and Akane walk to school. As usual, they maintain icy silence, broken by brief mentions of schoolwork.

However, when they are within a block of Furinkan High School, their atmosphere changes slightly, anticipating having some fun as they will battle half the school. Kuno Tatewaki had instituted this activity, proclaiming that only those capable of beating Tendo Akane in combat could date her.

Wow, most of the student body must have really low intelligence to go along with rituals like this or not to make the connection that my male and female forms were the same person as opposed to cousins.

Akane and Ranma-kun walk through the school gate. As usual, half of the guys in school are there to greet them, many dressed for combat. However, on this day, something is radically different.

"Good morning, Ranma! Good morning, Akane!"

The friendliness of the crowd shocks Ranma-kun and Akane. "Good morning?"

One of the guys runs over to them. "Oh my god, you'll never believe this. Some transfer student came in about fifteen minutes ago."

Ranma-kun rolls his eyes, somewhat disappointed that he would not get a workout. "Hasn't this school had transfer students before?"

"Yeah, but this guy drove up in a super cool sports car. And, when Kuno confronted him about not participating in the morning fight, he blew him off. When Kuno tried to attack him, blam, the guy made him look like an idiot!"

Ranma-kun has an enigmatic smile. "Interesting."

Akane has a couldn't care less look on her face. "Who cares if some other GUY comes to this school?"

"A lot of the upperclassmen girls. They came out to greet the guy after the fight."

Akane turns up her nose.

...

Ranma and Akane report to homeroom class. Ranma-kun sits in the back, still melancholy over his bad dream.

Suddenly, there is a commotion. All the students are now nearly standing so Ranma-kun cannot see the front of the classroom.

"Class, please quiet down. As you can see, we have a transfer student here."

"Is that a real American car?"

"Why, yes, it is."

Ranma's eyes grow wide even though he cannot see the transfer student. I recognize that voice.

"What types of girls do you like?"

"I like several types of girls. Girls who blush when they get White Day chocolate, ..."

Many of the girls in the class squeal.

"... girls who do sports and push themselves to be all they can be, and girls who are just normal people."

The girls in the class say in unison, "SO COOL!".

One of the boys in the class pipes up. "Do you do any sports?"

"I was on the track and field team in my previous school. Sometimes I hope I can run fast enough to catch the wind."

The boys in the class mummer in approval.

"Do you study any Martial Arts? That was great what you did to Kuno-senpai."

"I hurt an upperclassman? Oh dear, what an awful way to start off a new school! But, no, I never really studied. I guess I have good reflexes. You really need them for motorcycle racing"

The boys in class shout in unison, "YOU RACE MOTORCYCLES?"

The teacher looks at the transfer student. "Aren't you a little young for that?"

"I got my license overseas in America."

"Have you joined any clubs yet?"

"No."

The class immediately erupts into chaos as students shout out club names for the transfer student to join.

"Excuse me, but I already have an activity I participate in after school."

"So why did you transfer here?"

"It's a funny story. My parents are kind of old-fashioned, so they wanted me to have an arranged marriage. I don't really believe in things like that though. I think that people should get married because they love each other, not because their parents arrange it."

The class mummers in approval.

"So I transferred to this school so I can meet my fiance, ..."

The class becomes deadly silent when they realize what is coming.

"... Saotome Ranma."
