Nonranma:  Riding Bean/OMG
scene: A hotel room in Chicago. Bean and Toshiyuki Aoshima are talking.

Aoshima: I need the best driver I can find to beat Keiichi Morisato. I
will hire you to race for me.

Bean: No way, I ain't no race driver.

Aoshima: I will pay you twice your standard fees.

Bean (thinking): It has been dull lately.
Bean (talking): Ok, but your paying me three times. Once for the drive,
once because I'm not a race driver, and once more just because I said
so. Oh, by the way, my car comes also, and your paying shipping.  

I am not going to do anything with this. The attention to detail
(especially the automotive ones) the race sequence would require is more
than I can do.

It should be noted Bellandy's power is limited, and having one of
Aoshima's schemes start to go right for once, could make a story.

Ranma idea

While thinking about the Ranma timeline I noticed something.
3 years ago the principal went to Hawaii. This was after years of
enjoying 
tormenting his students. I do not believe the manga says how long he had
been tormenting them, but I think you can assume years.

Why did he go to Hawaii then, not before?
Why did he return?

Kasumi was in high school 3 years ago.
Kasumi is not in high school now.

I can not think of anything to go wth this. Hopefully somebody can.

If either one of these ideas has been done before, could somebody be
kind enough to point out to me where I can find the stories.

thank you
