Okay, here's an idea. An exchange student comes to Nermia and Nabiki falls
in love with him. 

Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. Yet another gaijin comes to town Nabiki falls for him for
some vague reason only the exhange student knows (or he's just a 'great
lover').

There'd better be some saving grace to this thing.

Here's the twist, when she gets pregnant he runs out on her. This story
would deal with
the female cast of the show and how they become best friends after Nabiki
gets pregnant. 

*blank stare* Actually, I'm intrigued how anyone can write this thing and
make it seem believable. I mean believable not in the sense that EVERYONE
must be in character, I mean believable in the sense that one can actually
believe that this could happen.

How do I put this... It has to be plausible, not just a story in which some
exchange student appears, Nabiki falls head-over-heels for him at first
sight 'cause he's so cooooool... Then they decide to screw for no apparent
reason, and then as soon as she announces she's pregnant he scoots back
west, east, north, south, wherever... leaving her alone and feeling stupid
for falling for someone who simply wanted to bang her up, especially some
not-rich nobody who wouldn't be anybody if he hadn't come to Japan in the
first place, then Akane and Kasumi and Ukyo and Shampoo would all become
best friends to look after her and throw her a baby shower and have tears
in their eyes and hug each other a lot...

*sigh* I HAD to get that off my chest. Like I said, if it's actually
plausible and it's done well, then why the hell not? If the foreigner is
simply going to be some insertion for the author or someone the author
hates then what for?

Oh and I don't think there will
be any romantic relationships for this story. Any ideas? Until I find better
things to write about. Ja ne.

Yes. Don't let it be anyone with enough sense not to let that sort of thing
happen to them. Like Nabiki, or Ukyo, or heck, even Kasumi for that matter.
Do any of us actually believe these girls would allow themselves to be
treated that way?

*sigh* Just my two cents. Remember, this is just my opinion, you're
entitled to your own, just as I'm entitled to mine.

"The story grew in the most convoluted way, as many people will be
surprised to learn. Writing episodically meant that when I finished one
episode I had no idea about what the next one would contain. When, in the
twists and turns of the plot, some event suddenly seemed to illuminate
things that had gone before, I was as surprised as anyone else."
