A Careful Destiny side story.  Coming Soon to a mailing list
near you.

"Careful  Destiny"  is written by Todd Hill (sysop@newberry.edu).
This  side  story  has been written in the universe  of  "Careful
Destiny"  with  Todd's permission, but he is not responsible  for
the contents of this story except insofar as he has offered ample
provocation  in  his  writing.  (Don't understand  this  comment?
Read   the   Careful   Destiny   series!    It's   archived    at
http://www.newberry.edu/sstalker/rancar.htm.)



This  story  is  a fan fiction based on Takahashi Rumiko's  Manga
series, Ranma 1/2.

The  characters of Ranma 1/2 are the property of Takahashi Rumiko
and her licensees.



     Ranma caught the phone on the sixth ring.  "Hello?"
     "Ranma?  Is that you?"
     "Oh, hi Mom.  What's up?"
     "I'm calling to let you know that Tendou-san has invited
your father and myself to stay tonight.  He made up some excuse,
but I think he wants to drink sake and play shogi with Genma."  A
sigh echoed over the phone line.
     "Oh, okay Mom.  So you'll be home tomorrow some time?"
     "I imagine so, Ranma.  Are you okay?  Did you and Ranko get
home okay?"
     "Sure, no problems."
     "You haven't been fighting?"
     "No.  Ranko's been giving me a pretty hard time, but that's
okay."  Ranma was surprised to hear his mother giggle.
     "I'm very proud of you, son," she said after a moment.  "I
was beginning to despair of you two ever getting along, but all
of a sudden in the last couple of weeks you two seem to have come
to an understanding.  I'm glad about that.  You must be, too?
You've seemed much happier recently."
     "Well, I finally realised that I loved her after all, and
told her so, and it all followed from that," he said as lightly
as he could manage.
     "Yes, I head what you said this evening, Ranma.  As I said,
I'm very proud of you."  He could hear the smile in her voice.
"I think you made a very good impression on Akane, you know," she
added in a low voice.  "She seems like a nice girl, son."
     "Err, yeah, well, um, thanks, have a good time this evening,
Mom.  We'll see you tomorrow, I guess."
     "Good night, Ranma.  Give my love to Ranko."
     "Will do.  'Bye."
     Shaking his head, Ranma thought about his ointment-smeared
sister lying naked on her bed upstairs and took a little detour
before going back upstairs.
