You mean the Akane look-alike isn't wearing anything, I think.

Ranma (looking skeptical & upward): How are you convinced that he's your 
brother?

Actually, despite the apparent stupidity of the question, it could
actually be legit.  If this is post 38, then he could have fallen into the
Akaneniichan(sp?).

(Nabiki's eyes light up as if she was the windows of a 
one-armed bandit.)

eh?  Rather convoluted sentance.

Genma: How do you know? (Andrew mallets Genma. He's in the ground. He looks 
up.) But, I thought Akane was the only one that could pull out mallets?!
Kasumi: Oh, no, Mr. Saotome. It's a Tendo family secret tradition. (Kasumi 
then pulls out a mallet and pounds Genma out of the ground and into the koi  
pond. Nabiki walks over to the pond.)

Actually, if you read the episode where Happosai is trapped in a kettle,
and Genma makes a huge panda battle-aura, one of the panels has Genma with
a mallet.  Also, during the time when Happosai disguised himself as
P-chan to sleep with Akane, he used a mallet on Ryouga.

Dr. Tofu: Excuse me! But, I believe some tests are in order! (He dances 
insanely around the room gathering blood samples from Kasumi, Andrew, Akane, 
Nabiki and Soun. Then he grabs a hot-dog and samples it.) Now, for the DNA! 
(He slips back into the kitchen. Everyone big-sweats as Dr. Tofu leaves.)

Dr. Tofu: The results are in! There is an 99.9999998% certainity that 

Andrew

is your son, Mr. Tendo.

So, who's the hot dog related to?

Genma: [My best friend, Master Happousai would do you proud!] (Ranma beats 
him up again. Akane glares at Soun.)

Perhaps you should change this to [My best friend, you would do the Master
proud!]

Dr. Tofu: Hmm...I believe so. Let's see...it does say that the two are long 
lost twins with a virtual 100% confidence rate. I couldn't say all those 
nines anyway.

99.9 repeating is perfectly equivilent to 100.  I won't bore you with the
proof here, as it is not pertinant to the topic of fanfics.  If you want
it, e-mail me.


This -is- than the Ranma-has-a-sibling plots.  However, I hope that he
doesn't fall into the same trap as other Self Insert Characters: 
Out-Nabiki Nabiki, beats up Ranma with ease, ultra rich and powerful, etc.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then 
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner, 
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of 
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed.  "Tell me."
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the 
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
