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?
