Otaku no Ranma
a self-insertion fic by P-R-P-Chan

	Prelude

	Andrew smiled as he lurched down the stairs into his basement.  Staggering
towards the couch, somehow managing not to spill a drop from his glass which
was filled to the brim with something obviously alcoholic.  Sinking into his
seat, he knocked back a good portion of the cup, then placed it on the table
next to him.  Staring into space for a moment, he suddenly rose to his feet,
nearly falling over in the process. 

	"He should fucking be here by now," Andrew grumbled under his breath as he
moved to pick up the phone.  Putting the receiver to his hear, he dialed,
and proceeded to wait, albeit somewhat unsteadily.  Finally a voice answered.

	"Hello?"

	"Heysh can i spea-k ta Bri?" Andrew slurred into the phone.

	"Shit how much have you been drinking? Yeah just one sec.." the female
voice answered, "BRIAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN."

	"THnks Mo.."

	"Hey.. whatcha want burnout?" A new voice asked.

	"Ey Bri.. ya comin over r whot?" 

	"Yeah, Yeah.. Can't get enough of me can you?"
	
	"Fuck off asshhole.."

	"I'll call you back after I eat okay?"

	"K... see ya Bri."

	<<CLICK>>

	Andrew pulled the phone from his ear and stared at it for a moment.
Cursing under his breath he slammed it back down onto it's cradle.

	"Fuck.. I'm not waiting round fer that bastard.."  Moving to the
television, standing across from the sofa, Andrew turned it on.  Then as the
pain reached his ears, quickly turned it back off.  Lowering the volume, the
switched it back on.  Smiling to himself he reached down to the floor taking
the top video cassette from a stack of about 30 or so, and plopped it into
the VCR.  Grabbing the remote, he ambled back to his seat, taking a swift
drink before presing play.  As the opening credits for the first series of
Ranma 1/2 came on, Andrew stood up abruptly and walked back up the stairs. 

Minutes Passed.
Then Some More.
And A Bit More.

	Finally after almost fifteen minutes, he returned, a bottle of vodka
cradled in his arms.  Sitting back down onthe couch, he gazed intently at
the television in time to see Kuno step out from behind a tree.  As the Blue
Thunder started his speech, Andrew turned to his glass.  Finding it more
than half full, he downed it, and proceeded to fill it from the bottle. 

Time Passed.

	Andrew was trying his hardest, but not succeeding.  He just couldn't get
the vodka to pout INTO the glass.  Finally giving up, he turned back to the
Ranma.  He smiled in good humour as he saw Ryouga attacking Ranma, silently
rooting for his favorite character.  He watched up until Ryouga wandered off
once again, and then tried to pour a glass once more.

More Time Passed.

	Andrew lay uneasily on the couch, the TV set, for the most part, an
unwatchable blur.  Not that this would affect anything.  Like any true fan,
he'd seen these episodes inumerable times, to the point where he could tell
what was happening from the background music.  "Let's see.. Kodachi.. and
contact.." Andrew smiled as, onscreenm Kodachi's head smacked into Ranma's
teakettle. "Not even gonna bother with the rest of this part, pay attention
again when Shampoo shows up.." he mumbled, turning on the sofa to face away
from the television.

***

	Andrew woke with a start, he turned to the tv, only to find it projecting
only a blue screen.

	"Ah damn... well it's only Shampoo .. no one important." Andrew consoled
himself.  Popping the tape out of the vcr, he replaced it with one marked
'Ranma series 2 1-16'.  Sitting back down, he lets it fastforward through
the opening credits, then the first episode, and the next, and again.  The
reason becomes clear when Andrew starts to snore.  Suddenly, falling
forward, he smashed his face on the coffee table.  Groggily looking around,
he quickly pressed stop, just as Ranma performed the Kashuu Tenshin
Amaguriken for ther first time.  Deciding that it was better the other way,
Andrew continuued fastforwarding, through the cat's toungue and Mousse's
first appearence, past Ryouga learning the breaking point, the Saotome
Secret attack, Happosai's first appearence, and after switching tapes once
more Ukyou's, and finally Happosai's relearning of the Happodaikarin.
Through all of this, Andrew is starting to look more and more substantial,
until, coinciding with the explosion caused by one of Happosai's bombs, he
faded out of existence...

And into another..

End of Prelude


for the benifit of mankind i had consigned this to the sands of time, but no
longer.  I'd promised that if something on the FFML annoyed me again, I
would follow through with this post. And now it is done. be afraid, be very
afraid.  yes, the main character is me, although i'm using one of my
alternate identities, my rl name is Matthew, but everyone seems to think I
look like an Andrew.. explain it if you can, so in order to keep you, the
reader, more in touch with an idea of what my charcter looks like I've used
the name that people see me as.
