"Take my fiancee, Please!" By Henry J. Cobb $Id: take_my_fiancee.txt,v 1.1 1996/10/08 03:25:21 hcobb Exp $ Akane: (With her usual scowl) "Well Ranma, it looks like you've defeated another unbeatable foe to rescue me again." Ranma: (unties her) "Yeah, no need to thank me or anything." Akane: SLAP! "Don't worry, I won't." Ranma: (holding cheek) "What was that for?" Akane: (reaches into bodice) "Look what I found on this unprovoked menace. A photo of me, a map to the Dojo and a letter from you, bragging about your martial arts skills and your fiancee." Ranma: "Uh, I can explain..." Akane: "Actually, you say some rather nice things about me." (reads aloud) "Athletic, high spirited, her cooking is indescribable and she'll leave a lasting impression on you." Ranma: "Well..." Akane: "Wait, is that it? Do you have me kidnapped just so you can demonstrate the depths of the affection you cannot express?" Ranma: "No way! The villains I pick have fantastic techniques and I need some excuse to challenge them. I just don't get why they always fall for such uncute bait." Akane: "Ranma no baka!" PUNT! Ranma: (Holds breath as he comes through the Mir airlock) "Hi, I'm Ranma, can I hide out here for a while?" Cosmonaut: "Sure, we've already got a Japanese national on board." Shiko: "Hi Ranma, here, have lunch!" (She watches him intently with her giant green eyes) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: If Nightelf-chan extends this one, I'll splash myself with warm water (to turn back into Trish) and pay her a visit. Oh, my curse? It seems Ranma-honey was a little peeved about "that woman who sounds just like Charlie Brown", I got to dub his male side. You didn't think it was a coincidence, that even though me and Trish are in San Francisco, we've never been spotted at the same place together. Did you? Henry J.
