        I'd be more interested in the alternate reality angle where
Ranma-chan has always been Ranma-chan.  Perhaps even make it so that the
majority of people consider them the same person so they can get each other
in trouble.  Only the potential love interests might not quite have it
figured out.

Hm.... Ranma-chan gets Ryouga into a.... compromising position, and
*SPLASH* Hot water!

Ranma:  huh?  what the?!  AAAAAAAAGH!
Ryogua:  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Akane: (walks in the room, stops in her tracks) AAAAAAAAAAAGH! YOU
       PERVERT!

	Actually, something like this happened in Vol. 23, duirng the "koi-fishing rod"
incident in which Ranma fell in love with Ryouga and turned female so they could
be as a natural couple. Imagine Akane's reaction...

	BTW, IMO, I've always considered Ranma and Ranma-chan as different people...
