The real name of this fic is "Genjitsu no Sekai Ranma
Sutairu" (translated "The Real World Ranma Style").
This is a compilation work of my best internet friend
Crikit-chan and I. I have to give her credit for the
idea and title, though. ^_^ Those were all hers. This
is just a story about what would happen if the Ranma
cast were to be put on the MTV show "The Real World".
(I personally haven't seen much of the show)
C&C are welcome and wanted!!
Please enjoy our wacky lil' fic. ^_^

PROLOGUE
MTV headquarters, NYC, New York:
"Okay guys and gals, settle down. It�s time for our
daily meeting to start and today we have some
important stuff to talk about."
Looking up from their private conversations and fancy
coffees, the employees in charge of programming gave
their boss their undivided attention.
"Good, glad to see that your daily helpings of Sesame
Street is helping...." Ducking she avoids a paper
plane that was directed at her head. "It was a joke,
people!.... Geez! Get a grip! Anyway, let�s start the
meeting, shall we? First off, let me introduce a
couple of people to you, this is Kyasuto Kantoku and
Sakuhin Shihainin, they�re from our station in Japan,
which if those of you who read the monthly newsletter
will know that it is having some ratings problems.
Basically, they have none, but we hope to change
that. That is the reason we are having this meeting
today. It is your job people to come up with an idea
that will bring ratings to MTVJapan."
"Oh that shouldn�t be too hard!" One young man jokes.
"Ah, Mr. Davis! So glad that you�re willing to
volunteer!"
"Volunteer, huh?!"
"Folks, congratulate Chase he just volunteered to help
Kyasuto and Sakuhin in whatever we come up with."
"Oh, just great! I can�t wait!" Chase states with just
a hint of sarcasm evident in his voice.
"Anyone have any ideas?"
The various people in the room exchanged glances
unsure about what they should do, suddenly there comes
a noise from the back of the room. Turning, they see
one of the newer employees enthusiastically raising
her hand in the air.
"Yes Deedee?"
"Well I was just like thinking, why not do like a
Japanese version of Real World? It�s like such a hit
here and, like, well, maybe it would become a hit in
Japan too... Oh forget it....! It�s like just a stupid
idea.... It would never work....."
"Actually, that�s not a bad idea! I think it�s quite
doable. What do you think, Kya?"
"Hmm? Oh yeah, it�s doable. After all we have
occasionally shown various episodes of the Real World
in Japan and we always got great ratings for it, so I
can�t see why it isn�t doable."
"Okay then it�s settled. We�ll do a version of Real
World in Japan featuring an all Japanese cast. Deedee,
you�ll accompany Kyasuto and Sakuhin to Japan and help
get everything set up, after all it was your idea. Oh,
and of course Mr. Davis will join you. Now I suggest
that you four get to work you have some things to
decide, like what part of Japan you want to set it
in."
With that the meeting ends and everybody fans out to
start working on various projects, leaving two very
confused Americans with two very confident Japanese.
"So,... um... like... what do you suppose we do
first?" Deedee asks the lack of confidence that she is
feeling evident in her voice.
"Well we could pick the place where the show will be
set... That�s always a good place to start....," Chase
offers.
"No need. Kyasuto and I already know the perfect place
for the show to be set, don�t we?" Sakuhin said
looking at his partner who returned the look with a
raised eyebrow.
"You don�t mean.....," Kyasuto asks with a hint of
mischief in her voice.
"Mm-hmmm..."
"Could we do that?!"
"I don�t see why not...."
Finally Chase has had enough of being left out of the
loop and interrupts their conversation. "Hey look,
Deedee and I are part of this too, so we would sort of
like to be let in on what you have planned. Now where
are you planning on setting the show?"
"Well, there�s a district of Tokyo called Nerima that
would be just perfect."
Looking at Deedee, Chase raises a questioning eyebrow.
"What do you think?"
"Well, like, they are the ones who like live in Japan
so they do know like the best places and if they like
think that Nerima is perfect we should like go with
it."
Chase nods his head in agreement then turns to the
other two members of their group. "Okay then, it�s
settled. We�ll do the show in Nerima....."

PART 1
"Bye! I�ll see you tomorrow!" Akane waves to her
friends.
Another school day has come to an end at Furinkan
High. The students quickly flee the building, eager to
get home. Ranma and Akane walk together in silence
down the path back to the Tendo dojo.
"Ranma!" a voice comes from above.
Suddenly, Ranma finds himself trapped underneath the
front wheel of a bike.
"Nihao!" Shampoo says, "Ranma! Get out from under
Shampoo�s bike! Shampoo have news for Ranma! Very
important!"
"Ranma-honey!" another voice calls out. Ranma turns to
see Ukyo charging towards him. "I�m so glad I found
you! Ranma, I�ve got some great news for you!" Ukyo
exclaims.
"Spatula girl wait turn! Shampoo see Ranma first!"
Shampoo says.
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Ukyo says.
Shampoo and Ukyo glare at each other. Quickly, both
pull out a flier, shoving them in Ranma�s face.
"Real World auditions....?" Ranma reads aloud.
"What�s �Real World�?" Akane asks.
"You�ve never heard of The Real World?!" Ukyo gasps.
"Akane live under rock past years?!" Shampoo says just
as shocked.
"The Real World is a show where they take regular
people, put them in a house together, and film their
everyday lives!" Ukyo explains, "Look at this!" Ukyo
hands her a flier, "They�ve decided to do a special
edition in Nerima! They�re holding auditions today!
Isn�t that so
cool? Ranma, we have to go to these auditions!" Ukyo
says grabbing Ranma�s arm.
"Ranma go with Shampoo, not Spatula girl!" Shampoo
says grabbing his other arm.
Suddenly, Ranma finds himself being dragged down the
street by Ukyo and Shampoo.
"Ranma," Akane scoffs, "That jerk!! Running off with
Ukyo and Shampoo like that!" Akane lets out a growl of
frustration. She looks over the flier in her hand,
"The Real World, huh....."
***
Ranma, Shampoo, and Ukyo stand in a long line of Real
World hopefuls, both of them clinging to Ranma.
"If Ranma and I were to both get picked, then we would
be in the house alone together," Ukyo thinks, "I�d
have Ranma all to myself and I wouldn�t have to worry
about Shampoo and Akane butting in.... this is
perfect!!"
"Spatula girl hopeless," Shampoo thinks, "Shampoo and
Ranma be in house together for whole world to see! No
more stupid Akane and Spatula girl butt into Shampoo�s
business! Aiya!"
"Why me, why me, why me...," Ranma thinks, "First I
get cursed then I get a fianc�e and another one and
another one, and now this... I�ve never even heard of
The Real World!! Why can�t they leave me out of their
stupid plans? I like living with the Tendos! I like
eating Kasumi�s cooking, sparring with pop in the
morning... Why would I want to go live in some house
with a bunch of strangers?! Maybe this wouldn�t be so
bad if Akane were here instead of Ukyo and Shampoo...
Well, if I were to be with one of them I�d sure eat
better than I would with Akane, but still......"
"This must be the place," Akane thinks, seeing the
long line of people, Ranma, Ukyo, and Shampoo
included, "I�ll show Ranma! I�ll spoil his plans and
try out for this myself! That jerk!!" Akane joins the
line.
"Where the hell am I now?!" Ryoga enters the scene,
"Why does all this look so familiar?" Ryoga thinks as
he looks around, "What are all those people doing
standing in line? Is that Akane?!" he gasps, "Hey!
That looks like Ranma with Ukyo and Shampoo! Grrrr....
I don�t care what it is! If it involves dear Akane and
that idiot Ranma I�m there!" Ryoga takes a place at
the end of the line.
***
"Um, H-hi, Akane...."
Akane turns from her spot in line to find herself
looking at the familiar face of the eternal lost boy
"Oh, hi, Ryoga! What are doing here?"
"Uh..... well...."
"Are you trying out, too?"
"Yeah... of course I am...! I wouldn�t miss this for
the world...! Uh..., Akane,... what exactly are we
trying out for anyway?"
Akane giggles and then answers Ryoga�s question,
"We�re trying out for The Real World."
Ryoga nods his head in understanding and then gets a
confused look on his face. "Um, what�s �The Real
World�?"
"The Real World is a show where they take a group of
people, make them live together in one house, and film
what happens in their daily lives... or so I�ve
heard... I�ve never actually seen the show
before....."
"That�s okay.... me neither....," Ryoga says.
"Well, I�m glad I�m not the only one!" Akane smiles.
Ryoga blushes.
***
"So Ranma, are you excited?" Ukyo asks looking at her
fiancee.
"Excited about what?!" Ranma asks, while looking down
the long line of other prospects.
"About us living together of course!" Ukyo replies
taking a step closer to Ranma.
"What Spatula girl talk about? Ranma no live with
Spatula girl! Ranma live with Shampoo!" Shampoo
argues.
"Oh, yeah?! Over my dead body!" Ukyo says angrily.
"Shampoo can arrange that!"
"Uh..., girls.... we aren�t the only people here you
know, and besides even if we are chosen there would be
other people living with us...." Suddenly Ranma looks
toward the door and sees a familiar figure stepping
out.
"Hey isn�t that Kuno?"
"Kuno? Where?"
"There. He�s walking towards us. Hey Kuno, what are
you doing here?"
"What vile creature dare call out my name?" Kuno asks
as he stops before the crowd. "Ah, Saotome �tis you.
The vilest of the vile."
"Nice to see you, too. What were you doing in there?"
"Is it not obvious? I was but informing the people
within of the honor that they shall feel when they
allow me to enter their dwelling as one of their cast.
And I assure you they have. My face shall grace the
screens of hundreds of loyal television watchers all
over Japan, and then, I, Tatewaki Kuno, age 17, Blue
Thunder of Furinkan High, will win the heart of both
Akane Tendo and the pig-tailed girl from you with my
fame. For when they see me in such a position of honor
they will no longer be able to conceal the love that
they feel for me, and then they will break the
wretched curse that you have placed upon them and
smite thee with a vengeance."
"Yeah... sure... You know you�re dreaming, right
Kuno?"
Paying no attention to Ranma, Kuno examines the line,
"Absolutely pathetic.... They think they have a chance
against Tatewaki Kuno, the magnificent Blue Thunder of
Furinkan High? Ha! It is to laugh! Now that they have
seen the best, why do they need these others? They
should put these poor souls out of their misery and
send them home." Suddenly his eyes come across Akane,
"Akane?! My love! She has come to compete with these
other women for the chance to house with me! �Tis
truly a touching gesture! Now if only I could find the
illusive pig-tailed girl.... No time for that now. I
must go home and wait for my acceptance letter or
possibly telephone call." Quickly Kuno runs off toward
home.
***
"Oh, man....," Chase groans, "I had no idea so many
people would try out for this! How are we ever going
to pick just six of them?!"
"I don�t know about you guys, but I�m beat...,"
Sakuhin says.
"Like, me too!" Deedee replies, stretching.
"Why don�t we go back to our hotel and sleep on this?
We don�t have to make our final decision until next
week," Kyasuto says.
"Good idea!"
Chase gathers the hundreds of forms and pictures and
packs them all into a briefcase as they all leave.
The four of them stroll down the street.
"You jerk!"
They hear a female voice yell from around the corner.
"What�d I do now?!" a male voice responds.
Peeking around the corner, they decide to investigate
this.
"You know very well what you did, Ranma!"
"Ranma...," Deedee says thoughtfully, "Why does that
name like sound so familiar....."
"Aha! Here it is!" Chase says pulling out one of the
applications with a picture attached, "That�s Ranma
Saotome. I remember him! He had two girls hanging on
him the whole time! They were some of the last to
audition."
"Well, I guess that extra money for film and a camera
wasn�t such a waste after all....," Kyasuto says.
"Who�s that girl with him?" Sakuhin asks.
"Would you just come out and say why you�re so mad at
me, Akane?!"
"She must be Akane Tendo!" Chase pulls out another
form and picture.
"You were all over Ukyo and Shampoo today!"
"Ukyo Kuonji... and Shampoo...," Chase says pulling
out two more forms, "They were those girls he was
with!"
"Me?! You were getting pretty cozy back there with
Ryoga!"
"Ryoga Hibiki! He was with that Akane girl!"
"Don�t bring poor Ryoga into this! He�s not the one
with three fianc�es, you play-boy!"
"Three fianc�es?!?!" the four exclaim silently, giving
their full attention to Ranma and Akane�s
conversation.
"You think I WANT three fianc�es?! Is that all you
think of me?! Believe me, if I had a choice I sure
wouldn�t choose an un-cute girl like you for a
fianc�e!"
"This is like too good!" Deedee says.
"Well, it�s not like I asked for this either, ya know,
Ranma! A jerk like you isn�t exactly my idea of the
ideal man either!"
"Shut up already, Akane!"
"You shut up!"
"Hey! You started it!"
"I did not, dummy!"
"Tomboy!"
"Pervert!"
"I�ve got a great idea!" Chase exclaims as Ranma and
Akane continue to bicker and make faces at each other,
"Why don�t we put these five together?!"
"That�s brilliant! People will tune in to watch all
these love triangles unfold!" Kyasuto says.
"Not only that, but like they�re all hip, good-looking
teenagers, too!" Deedee adds, "Ratings will soar!"
"These five," Sakuhin says examining the photos, "It�s
settled then?"
Everyone nods in agreement.
"This is great! We�ve already got five out of our six
cast members!" Chase says.
"Hold it a sec, Akane....," Ranma says ceasing the
fight, "Do you have the feeling like we�re being
watched or something?" Ranma says.
"Now that you mention it.....," Akane says.
The four MTV executives quickly duck into an alleyway
as Ranma and Akane turn to look behind them.
"I could�ve sworn somebody was following us....,"
Ranma says scratching his head.
"Oh, forget it. Let�s just get home already! It�s been
a long day and my feet hurt."
