  Enough with the shameless advertisement already. Where's the fic?
  BTW, good luck if anyone's going to look at this in Notepad....

Brief description of format:
	Parranthes mean thinking or setting.

  Both?

	*�s and then a number mean that at the end of this story their will be me
giving a
	short explanation on something controversial or of little knowledge.

  Ah, the footnote. Very distracting, I think, and I for one am not going to 
lose my place just to go to the bottom of the fic to find out "what you're 
smokin'."

(Camera zooms in into the Tendou School of Anything Goes Martial Arts.  A
group
consisting of Ranma Saotome, Akane Tendou, Genma Saotome, and Soun Tendou
are
watching television when a certain commercial is heard:)

  Probably the same commercial as in the header.

Commercial: Thanks for watching the Friday night feature and now for our
featured
contest...

Akane: Another one of these stupid things.

Ranma: Wait a minute they�ve never had a featured contest before on this
show!

  Not on Jerry Springer?

Commercial: That�s right as you all know our new TV Show the Reluctant
Warrior needs a
theme song...and now for singing our theme song any group of 5 girls can 
win
a trip to
mainland China!

  Boy, this screams PLOT CONVENIENCE!! Five girls... that is VERY rigid for 
a contest. Heh, good luck.... no, wait, we already know who's going to win.

Ranma and Genma: China!!!!! That means we could be CURED!!!!

Soun: Yes, but Genma, my friend, where are we going to find a group of 5
female singers?

  Soun's being awfully perceptive. Why would HE want to go to China, anyway?

Ranma and Genma: I...Don�t know..

  The two could sing about Lin-lin Ran-ran rice....
  (ducks for cover)

Group facefaults..(The little thing they do when there heads hit the floor
for all you
inexperienced basta...Uh...people out there.)

  "Yes, yes, Vir, get on with it!"

Nabiki walks in as if from nowhere as usual..

  You're getting as smart as Nabiki here.

Nabiki: We already have a group of five if you would all remember...the
Christmas special
and ending theme songs!

Akane: What are you talking about Nabiki?

Nabiki: Um...did I just say that.  (Rumiko�s going to kill me for saying
that...There goes my
pay again.)  Never mind, uh...how remember last Christmas *1 everyone?...

  If this was supposed to be funny.... It's not working. In fact, I find 
what Nabiki's saying quite contrived.

Ranma: Yeah you tried to sell me off to Shampoo, Ukyou, and Kodachi.

  "Ranma, Ranma, Ranma... you should get your facts straight...."

Nabiki: NOT THAT PART!!!...The singing part.

Ranma: Oh the part where you splashed me with cold water and made me sing?
(What is
she getting at?)

Nabiki: Yes that part, honestly you would think you wouldn�t want to go to
China (she�ll
get back into character now sorry)...

  Huh?

Ranma: I do I do want to go to China!  What�s your idea Nabiki?

  Even Ranma isn't as desperate to go to China as to bargain with the 
Devil.... or not.

Nabiki: Fine then that will be 5000 *2 yen.

  Cheapskate.

Ranma: Ha ha ha ha ha...I already know what you were going to suggest!

Nabiki: Oh, you do, do you?

Ranma: Yeah you were going to say that you, Nabiki, Akane, and Kasumi 
should
form a
group and sing for the trip to China right?

  "By Adun! Would you look at that, Tassadar?"

Nabiki: Honestly.  That�s only three people.

Ranma: (Takes a minute and counts the name�s on his fingers.)  Your right.

Nabiki: So will you give me the 5000 yen, or should I just forget that I
brought it up?

Ranma: No here.  (Takes money out of invisible wallet and hands it to
Nabiki.)

  <shakes head>

Nabiki: Thank you, it begins with this..(She pulls out a can of cold water
and splashes it on
Ranma.)

Ranma-Chan: What�d you do that for?

Nabiki: Its part of my plan.

Akane: So...what is it already?

Soun: You see Saotome she really does care about Ranma I�m so happy!  Both
Genma
and Soun start crying with happiness.

  Soun and Genma seem dumber than before. Akane hasn't done anything yet.

Akane gets up out of her seat and hits both Soun and Genma out of the 
window
with her
mallet.

Akane: Honestly!

  That was uncalled for, Akane.

Nabiki: Its really rather simple...Ranma-Chan, Akane, Kasumi, one of 
Ranma�s
other
three fianc�es *3, and I will sing for the show!

  Gee, I wonder who....

Ranma-Chan and Akane: So what do you get out of this?!!

Nabiki: A well deserved trip to China!

Ranma and Akane facefault.

Ranma-Chan: Fine, fine I guess that will work...Now can I have some hot
water to change
back please?

  Get it yourself.

Nabiki: No you can�t you have to learn how to sing, and hopefully act more
like a girl if
we are to succeed.

Akane: How do you know Kasumi, and one of Ranma�s fianc�es will go along
with this?

Ranma-Chan: And how do you know I will go along acting like a girl?

Nabiki: You want to go to China don�t you?

Ranma-Chan: Yeah...

Nabiki: Willing to do anything to get cured right?

Ranma: Uh-huh.

  Except bargain with the Devil....

Nabiki: Good we can start tonight...

Ranma-Chan: With what?

Nabiki: Your training on how to act more like girl!

Ranma-Chan and Akane: Huh??

Fade Away: (Hey I�m not saying Commercial break and stealing someone else�s
funny as
hell commercials!)

  Well, sure, since yours aren't in the least funny.

Fade In: To Nabiki�s room.  Nabiki, Ranma-Chan, and Akane are all looking 
in
her closest
as she pulls out.. ...

Ranma-Chan and Akane: A Furinkan High School girl�s uniform?!!!

Nabiki: Yup, if you want to succeed in acting like a girl for this
performance you at least
have to dress like one.

Ranma-Chan: No WAY!  I�m not putting on any dress.

  Yes, let's count how many times Ranma put on a dress.

Nabiki: Come on you�ve done it before...oh well, I guess you don�t want to
go to China then?

Ranma-Chan: I DO, I DO!!

Nabiki: Then your going to do it right?

Ranma-Chan: Yeah okay.

  Honestly, I don't think even Ranma's THIS desperate to go back to China.

Akane: RANMA you want to be a boy that much?!!

Ranma-Chan: Geez, duh Akane!

(Akane storms out of the room.  But not before hitting Ranma over the head
with her mallet.)

  That made no sense.

(Ranma-Chan puts on the uniform.)

Nabiki: Good, good now just four more things need to be done.

Ranma-Chan: Reluctantly: What?

Nabiki: 1.You have to have your own room?  I mean a girl can�t sleep with
her father can
she?

Ranma-Chan: What!!?

Nabiki: 2.Ranma went on a training journey and you�re his...twin sister and
are going to
go to Furinkan High School to see if you like it and are going to see if 
you
are going to
attend or go to another school.

  Umm... this is kinda pointless, since almost everybody at the school know 
about Ranma's curse.

Ranma-Chan: No Way!!

Nabiki: 3.Your name is no longer Ranma it is your alter-ego (drum roll in
background) Ranko!!

  How'd I know that was coming...

Ranma-Chan: Why me?  Damn this curse.

Nabiki: 4.You have to dress, and act like a girl if this is going to work 
as
well!!!

  This is turning into a fetish fic, from the looks of it.

Ranma-Chan: Nabiki no way this is way to sick for me to even think of 
doing!

Nabiki: Fine, then I guess your not going to go to China and get rid of 
your
curse, right?

Ranma-Chan: I want to get rid of this curse, but why do I have to do all
this?  I act like a
convincing girl already!

Nabiki: Your right all we need to do his hit your head on that rock 
again....

Ranma-Chan: Don�t even bring that up!

Nabiki: Ok, ok so you want to go in there, be reluctant to sing as you were
on Christmas,
sound terrible and then never go to China?

Ranma-Chan: No I don�t.  Fine I�ll do anything to get rid of this curse.

  Ranma's obviously looking at the whole thing the wrong way. If Nabiki was 
smart (then again...), she'd insist more on the 'training' aspect and poke 
at Ranma's pride rather than goad him like this.

Nabiki: Good come on Ranm... I mean Ranko.  (I will keep referring to Ranko
as Ranma-
Chan to avoid confusion to people just beginning reading future episodes).

  Doo-dah.

(Climb to high cam above Tendou Dojo.)  Low voices (due to height can be
heard saying.)

  Script... I forgot... silly me.

Genma: What are you doing wearing that dress get if off immediately!

Ranma-Chan: I already told you that I have to do this to get rid of the
curse!

Genma: What�s This?!!!  Your moving your stuff into the empty 
room???....what
do you think
you are a girl?!!

(Extremely low sounding.)

Ranma-Chan: I have to do this or else I will never win the contest you 
fool.

(Ranma-Chan kicks Genma out of the house and into the pond.)

Ranma-Chan: Now lets see what you have to say, old man!

  And since when has Genma cared about what Ranma does in his girl form? He 
doesn't care until Nodoka comes around, at least...

The *�s definitions in order of appearance.
	*1.  I�m going with order to Viz Video�s order of Video�s.  Outta 
Control�s
	Christmas was supposed to happen before OAV�s.  If anyone who is a Magna
	Freak knows better email me at below.

  Try after the end of the anime.

	*2.  Can someone please explain the yen system better to me by email.

  5000 yen ~= 50 dollars US (depending on current exchange rates that'll be 
different), and Nabiki's being awfully cheap.

	*3.  Yes I know that Ranma technically has only two other fianc�es (Ukyou
and
	Shampoo) but I decided that most people would understand 3 (Kodachi).

  Actually, he has only one other fiance. Simply put, Shampoo ain't Ranma's 
fiance.

  Must... resist....

This fic is meant to increase the amount of people watching Ranma �.  I 
will
not make a
profit off of this fic.  Unless the almighty Viz Videos wishes to buy it or
give me a free
lifetime collection of any and all Ranma Stuff released in North America.

Authors Notes:
	I�m now starting work on Number 1 of DoCo � (this is an introduction).
Don�t
	worry this series WILL NOT be about Ranma acting like a girl (although it
will have some of 	that in it).  It will involve the group DoCo.  Sorry 
this
introduction doesn�t seem like 	this will occur but trust me it will 
contain
DoCo (the music group) and what  would happen 	if they really became 
famous.

  It also contains a lot of punctuation errors in it, too, as well as cheap 
shot remarks that keep telling the reader this is a fic. Ranma acts 
completely stupid in this, and doesn't begin to suspect Nabiki's motives. 
Nabiki doesn't appear to HAVE a motive, either. Akane seems overly violent 
for no apparent reason. Soun and Genma are there to take up space.
  Other than the inevitable conclusion, this fic's getting nowhere fast. 
There doesn't seem to be any confict.

	If anyone else wrote a fanfic about DoCo and what happens if they got
famous
	please email be a copy of your fic and a site where I can download it and 
I

You asked for it. I pulverized them.
http://www.crosswinds.net/~slythe/ranma/wof00001.html

will stop 		writing these fic�s completely (if you want me to).  I DID NOT
copy anyone else�s work.  	And I expect everyone else to do the same.  Oh

  Which part? The copying, or someone elses' fic?

and if anyone wants to write a fic about 	this subject be my guest...just
don�t copy all the stories exactly.

  That ain't hard.

	I got inspiration to start writing this fic by two things, 1.The 
Avalanche,
Stars
	Game 6 started to get boring.  And 2.Chip�s-Ahoy Contest to Universal
Studio�s.

On the Episode 1 of DoCo �:
	Read Ranma-Chan go to school as Ranko.

  Good luck at making this any different than before.

	Read Ranma forced to choose between Ukyou or Shampoo as the fifth singer..
Who
	will he choose?  And will this forever damage his relationship with the 
one
	rejected?  Fine out next time on DoCo �.  (That sounded alot like
DBZ/History of the World 	Part I didn�t it?...  Guess what, it was supposed
to!)

  And yet we already know the answer. If we go by what we hear on Ranma CDs 
(other than the fact that we KNOW Shampoo gets in), Ukyo is already a 
terrible singer.
