[It is quiet at the Tendo dojo.]

Voice: AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[A scream pierces the early evening air.  Ranma, Nabiki, Kasumi, and P-Chan
rush upstairs to where the sound came from.  Soun and Genma are not there
because they are currently on a retreat from Happosai.  There they find
Akane kneeling on the floor.]

Ranma: Now, what's up?  Did you find another cookbook?

[Akane stands up and turns around.  She is holding a box of old films.]

Kasumi:   Oh, Akane.  You found mother's old movies.

Nabiki:   I thought those were lost in a fire a few years ago.

[A short while later, Kasumi sets up the old video projector and puts on
one of the movies.  The movie is a old, faded, and in black and white with
no sound.  It shows a girl that looks very much like Akane.  Her hair is
longer than it was before Ranma met Akane, and looks to be a lighter
color.]

Ukyo:  So, this is your mother?

Shampoo:  She so young.

Akane: OF course she's young.  This was taken when she and my father was
back in high school.

Shampoo:  Excuse me.

Akane: What are you two doing here anyway?

Ukyo:  Ranma invited me to see some old movies.

[Shampoo nods.]

Akane: [Angry] Ranma...

Ranma: Uh...[Points at the screen] Hey!  Look at that!

[Everyone turns and looks at the screen.  Suddenly, Akane's mother
disappears.  Everyone stands up in surprise.]

Akane: What in that...?

Nabiki:   Where did mother go?

Kasumi:   Oh my.

[Ranma is especially dumbfounded as he had just been pointing at nothing in
order to make a quick escape.]

Ranma: [To himself] How'd I do that?

Voice: I see I made it just in time...

[Every turns and sees Washuu standing in the doorway.]

Washuu:   The problem's in the past...  Wait.  You're not Tenchi.

[She pulls a script out of subspace and flips through a few pages.]

Washuu:   Oh.  I see.  Sorry, wrong series.  Keep the subspace dimensional
warp field if you want.

[Washuu leaves.  Everyone just sits and stares.  Suddenly, they hear
another voice.]

Voice: I see I made it just in time...

[Everyone turns again and see Mousse talking to his shadow on the movie
screen.]

Mousse:   Akane Tendo!  The problem is in the--

[Mousse steps forward and into the screen, which collapses on top of him. 
Ranma and Akane lift the screen off Mousse.]

Akane: What's this about?

[Mousse stands up again and faces Ranma.]

Mousse:   Twenty-seven years ago, your mother disappears.

[Ranma sighs, and spins Mousse around to face Akane.]

Kasumi:   Something happened to mother?

Akane: What do you mean, Mousse?

Mousse:   Someone from this time period has gone back in time and
eliminated your mother in the past.

Nabiki:   [Worried]  Mother?

Akane: But, if she's gone, how can Kasumi, Nabiki, and I still be here?

[Ranma looks at one of the things Washuu left behind.]

Ranma: Might have something to do with these...

[Suddenly, the house around every deteriorates in a manner of seconds.]

Ukyo:  What the...?

Mousse:   Just as I though.  You mother's death in the past is affecting
our present.  You three would never have been born.

Kasumi:   Come to think of it, I believe it was mother who first introduced
father to Mr. Saotome.  If they never met, father would have been left here
alone and never would have met or trained with grandfather Happosai.  Then,
Mr. Saotome might never have gone training with Ranma, and none of us would
have ever met.

Ukyo:  Never met?

Mousse:   Yes.  The disappearance of one person would drastically change
all of our lives.

Akane: But, what can we do?  I don't want to disappear.

Mousse:   [Smirks] I have a plan.

------------------------------

[A short while later, they are all in the basement of the Neko Hanten.  It
is filled with a wide variety of strange and unfamiliar machines and
gizmos.  Mousse is sitting in a strange command chair.  Twin circles spin
around him like tires in from of a gas station.  Everyone else is in little
booths that spin around Mousse.]

Mousse:   Using my Chrono-metric-regulator, I intend to send you all 27
years into the past.  Then, you must find Ms. Tendo and make sure nothing
happens to her.

Akane: Are you sure this thing works?

Ranma: Why do I have to go?  Life might be better for me without her.

Ryoga: Life without Akane?  I can't even imagine.

Nabiki:   Good thing I'm coming along to take care of you boys.

Kasumi:   Oh my.  This machine is making me dizzy.

Shampoo:  Shampoo no like Akane, but no want not meet Ranma.

Ukyo:  Life without Ranma?  I can't even imagine.

Mousse:   That's enough.  Time to go faster.

All:   FASTER?!

Mousse:   Now, you all just make sure nothing happens to Ms. Tendo and that
you don't screw up the time line any more than it already is.

[The machine speeds up and everyone feels like they're in a centrifuge. 
All of a sudden, the wink out of existence.  Mousse grins at the fact his
machine worked.  Suddenly, that grim turns sour as he realizes something]

Mousse:   Wait!  If Akane didn't exist, and Ranma never went training, then
he never would have gone to the village, and she wouldn't love him!  ARGH!

[Mousse bangs his head against the control panel before him.  He breaks it
and it catches fire.  Mousse screams and tries to put the flames out.]

------------------------------

More to come later, including a revealing of Ms. Tendo's first name.  (Or
at least what I make it to be.  If anyone has a good Idea, E-mail it to
me.)  This is mainly just an idea I'm toying with between writing Toma K/9
and Hakkyou Daigaku.  So far, more people seem to like Hakkyou Daigaku more
than Toma, so I think I'll be taking a break from Toma for a while.
