I'd almost given up on seeing more of this, so I'm very glad to see it.
Any word on Redheads or Girl Days?

Sailor Moon nodded. That was probably the best way to do it...
She was distracted as Naoko wavered again, becoming... someone who
most definitely NOT Naoko.
Isn't he now? :}b
I could sort of smell that one coming, but it makes a lot of sense.
"I think she... ah, he has a lot to tell, Usako," he said, trying
to keep his voice even and failing miserably...
A very good point to end the lead in.
"More of an out of mind experience, actually."
Ranma smirked. "Well, ain't like a lot of people don't think I'm
not already out of my mind. Say, you got a name?"
That was too good a straight line to skip.
"Hmmm... how to explain this... simply put, we hadn't expected
for you to wind up in a situation that would trigger the Fusing so
soon. We'd expected the enemy, the Dark, to continue with assaults
on {passerby : passers-by}. Instead they decided to try to kill you directly."
Usagi had expected the boy to do anything but what he did...
which was to slowly start beating his head against the coffee table.
I hope he doesn't break it.
"Because I used to turn into a girl anyway. It's just that it
was usually by accident."
Good, now it makes more sense.
"Naoko-kun" had not gone into many details about his life--
certainly he hadn't mentioned some of the more improbable things,
refused to even THINK about Saffron, and as for the {Fiancees : fiancees}? Yeah,
RIGHT, he was going to go into detail about THAT. Usagi struck him
as the type who'd try to help with the matter.
Michiru had never met a citizen of Nerima. Had she, she would
have known what an incredibly stupid thing that was to say.
Took the words right out of my mouth. It will be interesting to see
how they react to the Paragon. Poorly, I imagine.
Naoko stared at it dully. It was pink. It was, in fact, about
the pinkest thing she had ever seen in her life. It radiated pink in
the same way that a blue thing didn't.
I imagine it takes pink into a whole new spectrum.
"Whoa. That's kinda decent of you, {gramps : Gramps}..."
"Cash only, Nabiki. Learned that from you."
That *is* frightening.
Naoko had been startled enough to see the boy that she {han't : hadn't}
noticed Akane or Cologne. When she did, she took it as calmly as
could be expected.
"I'm Ranma Saotome, I'm a part time girl because I have to be a
magical girl sometimes to save the world." He paused, and added,
"And {I : I'm not} one damn bit sorry about it at all!"
I was half expecting something like a Twelve Step greeting,
"Hi, I'm Ranma and I'm a magical girl, sometimes."
Robert Haynie, who has discovered
that the average {recipie : recipe} for onigiri makes
WAY too much for one person...
