"I'm home!"
Akane took off her shoes, looking perplexed. Where was everyone?
In the kitchen, she found a note on the counter:
"Father and Uncle Saotome are at a neighborhood watch meeting. I'm visiting
Dr. Tofu."
Akane grinned. Dr. Tofu was going to be helpless for the rest of the day.
Then she frowned. Kasumi had promised to help her bake cookies after school.
That meant she'd have to try on her own.
Akane reached up for the recipe book she'd bought, and pulled it off the
shelf. A small notebook came down with it, and hit the floor. Akane picked
up, opened it, and sat on the floor, the cookies quite forgotten.
"Hey Akane, why are you sitting on the floor?"
Akane motioned for her fiance to join her.
"Kasumi wrote a story, Ranma. Come read with me."
Ranma sat beside Akane, and holding the notebook between them, they began to
read.

My Fanfic
By
Kasumi Tendo
Once upon a time, in the land of Nerima, there were two very unusual
families, sharing the same home.
There was a kind man, and his three daughters. The father was a good man,
but he was not very strong. Any hint of adversity caused him to break down
and weep, and his daughters could not depend on him for help or advice.
The eldest daughter appeared to be sweet and kind. She took care of the
members of her household, seemingly without thought for herself, but inside
she had many ambitions. One day, she would fulfill them.
The middle daughter was very beautiful, and very talented. She used her
talents to fill her treasury, and to control others. Sometimes the eldest
worried about her.
The youngest daughter was the family's warrior. There was no challenge she
was unwilling to meet, and she took pride in that. Her father hoped to join
the two families living in the house through this daughter, but was losing
hope that this would happen.
The members of that family were father and son. They had been victims of a
terrible curse, and no one knew how to cure them. The father was cursed at
times to become a panda, and his son became a woman. This latter curse, and
the way the young man behaved, had caused his fiancee to reject him,
although it was evident to the eldest that her sister was in love. She also
felt that the young man loved his fiancee, but chose to hide it behind
insults and rejection.
The situation had become further complicated by the arrival of rivals for
the hands of both, and Eldest Sister despaired, for she could think of no
way to resolve the situation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akane glanced up at Ranma. He was reading, his lower lip caught between his
teeth.
"Interesting, don't you think?"
"Umm, yeah, Akane. Interesting."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One lovely afternoon, the eldest sister was cleaning the house when she saw
a flash of light, followed by the appearance of a lovely woman with strange
marks on her forehead.
"Who, who are you?"
"I am a goddess. My name is Urd. I have been watching you, and have come
to help"
"Oh my! I mean, thank you!"
"Please tell me where to start, for you have many problems."
Eldest Sister gave it some thought, and smiled.
"Can you please dispose of the rivals for my sister's hand, and her
fiance's?
"You want them dead! I am surprised at you!"
"No! I want you to make them lose interest."
The goddess smiled, and rose from the floor. Eldest Sister squeaked as she
rose with her, and they flew across town.
Fifteen minutes later, she fanned herself, and took another sip of iced tea.
"You're amazing, Urd! I never thought to make some of the matches you did,
but they worked!"
"Why not, dear? Gosunkuji and Shampoo look wonderful together."
"I was referring to Ukyo and Kuno. Who would have guessed?"
Urd nodded.
"What next? You must be quick, for I can only help you this afternoon, and
then you will never see me again."
"My sister's fiance. Please, remove his curse, and his father's."
Urd closed her eyes, and smiled.
"Done."
"Done? Just like that? Oh my! Next, please make my sister and her fiance
love one another."
"I can't do that."
"What! You're a goddess--why not?"
"They already do."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akane dropped the book as if she had been burned.
"Why is she saying that!"
Ranma, for his part, was bright red.
"It, it's just a stupid story, Akane. Don't take it seriously."
"Then why are you blushing?"
"It's nothin'."
"Then let's finish it, already."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The goddess paused, waiting for the next request. When she received none,
Urd frowned.
"What about you? Don't you want anything for yourself?"
"I don't want to get it by magic. I want him to love me by himself."
"He does."
Eldest Sister felt herself flushing.
"Then why?"
"He's too shy. Would you like me to fix that?"
The response she got was an enthusiastic nod.
"It's done. Is there anything . . ."
Urd didn't finish her question, for Eldest Sister had flown from the room,
her apron fluttering to the floor. Urd vanished, smiling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranma turned the page, but the next was blank.
"I wonder what happened next. I didn't know your sister could write,
Akane."
Akane closed the book, and looked shyly at Ranma.
"I didn't either. It's cute, but a little too sweet for me. People's
problems don't get solved that easily. I . . ."
"I what, Akane?"
"I wish they would", she whispered. Akane stood up, replaced the book on
the shelf, and ran from the kitchen.
"Hey, Akane! Wait up!"
Ranma reached for the counter to pull himself up, and knocked over a
half-finished glass of iced tea, which soaked him and the floor. Ranma got
a paper towel to clean up the mess, and it was then that he looked at his
hand. It was not the small, delicate hand of a girl.
"No way", Ranma muttered. "I'm dreaming."
"Are you?"
Ranma turned. A beautiful woman was coming through the wall, smiling at
him.
"Ranma, do you want . ."
Akane stopped short as she entered the kitchen. Ranma was standing there
with one of the most beautiful women she'd ever seen.
"Another one, Ranma? How DARE you!!"
"Akane, I "
Akane's mallet caused Ranma to cut his sentence short. He knelt on the
floor, rubbing the back of his head. Akane gave him another glare, and then
turned her attention to the woman standing in the kitchen.
"Perhaps I should introduce myself. My name is Belldandy, and I'm a
goddess."
