"Hey U-chan! Let's get some service over here!" Ranma said playfully.
Ukyou began laughing. "Ran-chan, long time no see!" Ukyou then turned around to look at the, er, man she loved. Seeing her come in with three cute girls, though, was not what she had expected. "You jack ass! Who are these, some more of your fiancees?!" She hollered.
"Ukyou, what are you talking about?" Ranma asked in his innocent little girl voice. "These are just some of my friends. Ukyou, meet Usagi, Ami, and Makoto."
"Oh... okay." Ukyou said, calming down a bit. "I guess I get a little greedy over you. Well, it looks like your ready to eat! Four Okanomiyaki's coming up!" She shouted, going to work. Soon they all had plates of food in front of them.
In the Saotome-shovel method of eating, Ranma polished off his food and waited for Akane and the others to come. He was very surprised to find that Usagi had already finished, too. Ranma had never come across someone who could eat faster then him, let alone a girl. Ami and Makoto were daintily eating there's while Usagi sat there looking hungry.
Pretty soon, Akane, Ryoga, Rei and Minako came into the restaurant. They sat down next to Ranma and the lot, and were quickly given their own plates of Okanomiyaki. Luckily for Akane, Ukyou was not as bent as Shampoo at disposing of Ranma's other fiancees.
Suddenly someone else walked into the restaurant. Everyone looked up from their plates to see who had arrived. Usagi squealed with joy as she saw that it was her dear Mamoru, and she jumped out of her seat to embrace him.
"Hello Usako." He said softly.
"Oh Mamo-chan. I haven't seen you for a while! I've missed you so much!" Usagi replied, squeezing Mamoru tighter.
"I've missed you, too. So, are you going to introduce me to your friends here?" Mamoru asked. "Or just leave me guessing?"
"Oh, sorry Mamo-chan! Mamoru, meet Ranma Saotome, Akane Tendo, and Ryoga...?" She asked questioningly.
"Habiki." Ryoga finished for her. "Nice to meet you Mamoru."
"Uh, Usagi, didn't you say that you were 15?" Akane asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"That's right." Usagi replied.
"Well then, isn't this guy a little old for you?" Akane asked, confused.
"Well, at least we love each other." Usagi snorted, sticking her tongue out and looking over at Ranma.
Akane followed Usagi's gaze, and got the point. She stayed away from the subject.
"Well, Mamo-chan, what brings you here?" Usagi interrogated, starting up the already dead conversation
"I just came in to get a taste of the best Okanomiyaki in all of Japan. The same as you." Mamoru answered.
"Well then, you've come to the right place! Heads up, sugar!" Ukyou tossed Mamoru a plate of Okaynomiyaki.
By this time, Ryoga, Makoto, Minako, Ami, Rei, and Akane had finished eating their food, and were going to head back to the Tendo Dojo with Ranma.
"Usagi, are you going to come with us, or are you going to stay with Mamoru?" Ami asked politely.
Glancing back and forth between her friends and Mamoru, Usagi sighed and walked over to Ami.
"I'm going to stay with you guys. I still gotta get my clothes, you know?" Usagi said, giggling and looking down at the threads that she was wearing at the moment. "I like these, but I'd rather be in my own!"
"Yeah, I can understand that. Let's head back now. Only this time, we'll stay together." Akane said.
**************
The procession of eight people marched down the side walk towards the direction of the Tendo Dojo.
"My, what lovely young beauties we have here." Came a voice from behind them. The seven girls (Ranma still in his female form) turned around to see a boy with stunning blue eyes behind them. He roller skated up to them quickly, followed by a girl with long brown curls and clad completely in pink.
"I am Mikado, and this is my ice skating partner Azusa. We are known as the Golden Pair of Martial Arts figure skating. I couldn't help but notice the beauty standing in front of me." Mikado was all smiles as he ran a hand through his brown hair.
"Hello Mikado. Nice seeing you again. Now GO AWAY!" Ranma cried, giving a big kick that sent him flying.
"Ahhh, my fair one. I see you are not in a good mood. Would a kiss bring a smile to your face?" Mikado got up, brushed himself off, and walked over to where Ranma was standing in a huff.
"No, but it would make me vomit." Ranma replied. "Don't you know how to take a hint?"
"Yes, I do." Mikado said, turning his back on Ranma. He then spotted where Ami was standing. "Ah, you grace my presence with your beauty. I must place a kiss on your sweet lips." Before Ami could react to the well practiced line that Mikado had placed in front of her, he was dragged to the ground by his scarf and hauled off by Azusa.
"Looky! There's Azusa's little Francine! Francine, Francine! Come here Francine!" Azusa sang. She continued to pull the gasping Mikado away until they were out of sight.
"Well, that was a fascinating display." Ami said, looking contemplative.
"Uh, yeah. Very, um... fascinating." Ranma said, cocking his head and looking at Ami questioningly.
*************
"I don't know if we're going to be able to make it home safely. With all these wackos that you guys know, I don't know how you survive." Rei muttered to Ranma and Akane.
"Really, I don't think we're going to find anyone else around here that we know. We're okay for now." Ranma said.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Came a cry from behind them. Ranma turned around to find Kodachi Kuno behind them, in her complete Rhythmic Gymnastics uniform. The leotard, ribbon and everything. "You there, the girl that claims the name of my darling Ranma!"
"You just had to open your fat mouth, didn't you Ranma?" Akane said, punching Ranma's arm.
"What do you want, Kodachi? I don't have time for this." Ranma uttered, a distraught look on her face.
"Is that so? No time, or are you just backing away from a fight?" Kodachi questioned. She lashed out her ribbon at Ranma, entangling her in it.
Ranma wasn't going to take this. She ripped right through the ribbon with her arms and turned toward Kodachi. "If you want your darling Ranma, you can have him! I don't want him! I saw Ranma going that way, so you'll catch him if you go right now!" Ranma shouted, pointing in the opposite direction that they were heading.
"Ranma? Over there? Oh darling, I'm coming for you!" Kodachi cried as she hopped off into the distance.
"You know some definite physco paths, did you know that?" Makoto asked.
"Yes, I was very aware." Ranma mumbled.
*************
"Finally, we've made it home!" Akane shouted. "I can't believe we made it without anything bad happening."
"Oh Ranma, how I've missed you!" Happosi exclaimed as he ran up to Ranma and jumped straight towards her chest.
"Not so fast you old letcher!" Ranma yelled, throwing his foot in the path of the old man's head. "You just had to say it, didn't you Akane? You just had to say it."
"Don't blame this on me!" Akane shouted, looking at Ranma with contempt.
"Girls, girls, don't fight! Happy can make it all better! How about a little hug?" Happosi exclaimed, jumping towards Ranma again.
Ranma intercepted and caught the old man. "What's wrong with you?"
"I just wanted to comfort you, Ranma my boy." Happosi said, giving an innocent look. "But if you don't need comforting, maybe one of your friends over here does!" With that, Happosi wiggled out of Ranma's hands and threw himself at Rei.
"No you don't!" Rei screamed, stopping Happosi in his tracks with her foot. "You're even worse than my grandpa! Now get lost!" With that, Rei drop kicked Happosi right out of the house. Dusting her hands off, Rei walked gracefully into the guest room to get her clothes. "Well, are you coming or not?"
Everyone nodded, realizing that right now would not be a good time to mess with Rei.
"AAAHHH!!!!" Came a scream from in front of them. "That letcher took my bra and underwear!" Minako shouted, fury entering her face.
"He took mine, too!" Makoto wailed.
"Mine are missing!" Ami exclaimed.
"So are mine!" Usagi bawled.
"That old man is so dead! My bra and panties are gone, too!" Rei cried.
"Let's go get the hentai!" Minako shrieked. She ran out the door, not waiting for the others. When she reached a deserted area, she transformed. "Venus Star Power, Make Up!"
Sailor Venus ran savagely through the streets looking for the little letcher. When she finally spotted him, Happosi was running on the rooftops carrying a big sack full of panties.
"You're dead old letcher!" Sailor Venus yelled as she jumped nimbly to the rooftop next to him.
Happosi turned around to see a girl standing in a very short skirt and tight uniform top. He knew of the Sailor Senshi and they're special attacks, but seeing one up close was too much for him. "Oooooo... PRETTY LADY!" He yelled as he jumped towards Sailor Venus.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" Sailor Venus yelled, pulling her hand to her lips and blowing a kiss. That kiss turned to a heart and flew at a furious pace towards the stunned Happosi. He was knocked senseless to the ground, the bag of panties exploding and the contents floating to the ground like feathers from the wings of a defeated eagle.
"Well, that's that." Sailor Venus said calmly as she leapt to the ground next to Happosi. "I'll take those, thank you." With that, Sailor Venus turned back into Minako and picked up the undergarments belonging to her and her friends. Minako picked the old man up and placed him in the sack, carrying it over her shoulder as she walked back to the Tendo Dojo.
Upon arriving, she tied a rope to the top of the bag and hung it out of a second story window. Minako then turned and walked downstairs to where a very stunned group of people sat.
"Don't tell me, you actually defeated Happosi?" Ranma asked questioningly.
"Yeah, I did. And here's your stuff, guys. Now let's get out of this mad house." Minako grumbled as she dumped her friends panties on the dining room table.
Quickly grabbing her things, Rei stood up and walked over to Minako. "Well, we all had a great time. We'll be sure to stop by sometime soon." She said, giving Akane a hug.
"It was great having you guys here. We'll have to do it again." Akane said, smiling. "Well, get out of here!" She said, giggling and motioning to the door. "You're going to be in trouble with your parents if you don't go now!"
"She's right. We should be leaving." Ami stated, getting to her feet. With that, Usagi and Makoto stood and walked over to their friends. All of the girls hugged Akane and said good-bye, waving to Ranma and the rest of the gang as they walked away. Akane and Ranma waved at the five girls disappearing into the horizon.
"Well, it was nice meeting them. I mean, they aren't tomboys like you." Ranma said, looking over at Akane.
"Ooooo, you just don't know when to quit, do you?" Akane said, turning around and socking Ranma in the face. "Can't you just enjoy the moment?"
"Yeah, I guess so." Ranma said, looking back at the specks that were Usagi, Minako, Makoto, Rei, and Ami. "I sure hope we see them again."
"We will. I'm sure we will." Akane replied.
THE END
Well, no more on the way. I need to think of some ideas! If you have some, Email me and I can turn it into a story and give you some of the credit!
