Give it up," stated an irate Nabiki. She couldn't believe his nerve. She was going to show him that things could be different. Then, he would have to pay a price. She continued, "If you win, Ranma-KUN, I'll put you in so much ice-cream--you won't be able to see straight." The red-shirted martial artist looked at her nervously with his right hand behind his head. While doing so, he asked, "And if I lose, what then?" Nabiki replied, "Well, Ranma. Hmmm. You'll let me show you how Saotome luck can be different!" Nabiki was incredibly proud of herself for this one! Oh yeah, this was going to be one for the record books. Currently: Returning from the bar, the fatherly duo made their way to door of the Tendo Residence. The two were smiling for very similar reasons. Genma was smiling be- cause he was staying with his friend and had much sake. Soun was smiling because his friend was there, and he also had much sake. In their drunken state, they were shocked at the voices on the other side of the door. So much so, in fact, that they stood in complete awe. They were in awe of the unraveling of the great Akane and Ranma love, or lack thereof, mystery. --- Male Voice: "Kasumi! Kasumi, wait! Why do you have to change clothes?" Female Voice: "Well, I can't very well go out like this!" Male Voice (confused): "Wha, What do you mean?" Female Voice: "I only wear this to see you, Saotome." Male Voice: "You mean? Uhh, for me?" Female Voice: "Are you surprised? I've, erm, liked you for a very long time now." Male Voice: "Ka, Kasumi?" --- Outside, the two family patriarchs realized the obvious error of their ways! They had indeed chosen wrong! Genma, began to scribble illegibly on some wooden signs; while, Soun tried to straighten his grey gi. Where they have failed before, they would succeed today! --- Captain: Prepare the SPAM-LAUNCHER! First-Mate: Aye-Aye, sir! Captain: Fire! First-Mate: SPAM is away, sir! SPAM away! --- Inside the Tendo home: Ranma eyed Nabiki with scrutiny. This was absolutely ridiculous, and he had seen enough weirdness to be an expert. Nope, no good could come of this. He pro- tested again, "Aww geez, Nabiki. I can't believe you're making me watch this." In response, Nabiki said, "Sit down Saotome. I've been waiting to watch this ev- ery since you lost the bet." Yes, she was absolutely enjoying having Ranma squirmed while the anime played itself out on the television. Ranma sullenly watched the show with Nabiki; all the while, hoping his torture would end soon. He slowly sat back and started to enjoy the show; well, he didn't really enjoy it, as that may not be very manly. However, when he heard the dialogue between two of the characters, he got nervous. To make matters worse, he heard a ruffling from outside the home. With a burst of speed unmatched by the quickest of running-backs, he jolted across the room and turned the TV. Down (Nabiki had the remote, of coarse). Then his eyebrows lowered, "Nabiki! We can't watch that! Not here! Dear Kami, do you want to get Kasumi killed?" Nabiki looked from the television to Ranma and back to the television. Then, she looked at Ranma one last time before saying, "Uh. Oops. How was I supposed to know that -Hand Maid May- had a Kasumi and Saotome in it?" Blinking, the realized the error of watching this show at home--let alone with Ranma. However, she was not about to let Saotome get out of his end of the bargain. No sir, he was going to watch this show. She grabbed the DVD from the player, then she grabbed Ranma. Not bothering to look at him, she began pulling him to the door. Say- ing, "Come on, Saotome. We'll go to Sayuki's house to finish this, and I'm not taking any flak out of you about it." --- As the passed their fathers, they didn't notice the condition that they were in. Ranma didn't notice the dozen, or so, signs laying at the feet of the panda, and Nabiki didn't pay the slightest attention to the frozen, half formed, demon head. Neither payed any attention to these facts as the two headed away from the residence. --- In the distance, the two fathers heard Ranma, who said, "Nabiki, what are you some sort of Masochist? Arrrgh, if anyone sees us like this.." The voice became sud- denly female, "What was that for Nabiki?" Then the voice of Nabiki rang through, "Oooh, Saotome. Discovered what a dic- tionary was, huh? Shut up, and come on." --- END SPAM TRANSMISSION --- --- BEGIN PROGRAM NOTES --- I hope this was funny. The idea for this came up while my friends, family, and I were watching some of the "Hand Maid May" episodes. The names just struck a chord de- manding SPAM! The main character of the series is Kazuya Saotome, and the initial female counterpart is Kasumi Tenu (it doesn't last long, as May shows up rather quickly). --- DISCLAIMER --- I do not own either "Ranma 1/2" or "Hand Maid May".
