Blinking once, then twice the bird-woman asked, "I am?"
Nodding her head Ranma answered her. "Yes. And so you don't feel so bad, I am Ranma Saotome."
Smiling Charlotte dropped the sign and took hold of Ranma's hand and started shaking it. "Well Ranma Saotome, Welcome to Atlanta, Georgia! You're going to have so much fun here!"
Ranma shook the woman's hand back. "I think I will. What is your name Ms.?"
"Me?" Charlotte asked, breaking the handshake and pointing to herself. "Well, I'm Charlotte! I stay with Penny and work for her as her bodyguard!"
Blinking, Ranma asked, "Why would she need a bodyguard?"
"Oh you know, stuff gets out of hand sometimes, like rivals, leprechauns, curses, crazed pilots trying to kill her boyfriend, the usual..." Charlotte said as if nothing was wrong with it.
"Okay..." Ranam said, starting to have second doubts. Remembering her mother, Ranma shook her head. This wouldn't be as bad. "Well, can you help me get my bag?"
(------)
Britanny sat outside in the Ginamobile. She was a bit upset that she had to come out here to help Charlotte instead of staying at home watching reruns of the Flintstones, but she could never turn down her friend Charlotte.
After a moment, Britanny saw Charlotte walking towards the car, carrying a large suitcase. There was a red-headed Japanese girl next to her, which she knew was 'Ranma'. "Hey Charlie! You need help?
Shaking her head, Charlotte answered, "No thanks! I can handle it." Charlotte looked back to see Ranma stopped and was staring at Britanny. "Is something wrong?"
"Is... Is she a lycanthropy?" Ranma asked, only half-believing. She had read a book on Lucanthropy for fun once, that Kasumi had given her around Halloween one year. And it had an African legend that descibed something about. "A werecheetah?"
Smiling and giving her the thumbs up, Britanny replied. "Yep! The name's Britanny Diggers. Not many people that know what I am when they first meet me. Did Charlotte tell you about me?"
Shaking her head, Ranma replied, "No. All she said was that she had a friend warming up the car for her."
Suddenly, there was a growling from Ranma's stomach. "What surprised her was that Charlotte and Britanny's stomachs growled in compliance. "I guess I;m not the only hungry person here..."
"Darn it. I knew 15 bowls of Fruity Pebbles wouldn't hold me..." The now slightly irate werecheetah muttered.
"Hey Cheetah..." Charlotte asked. "Can we stop some place to eat? I'm really hungry."
Smiling Britanny replied, "Sure! Hop in, and I'll drive us to a restaurant!"
"That would be nice." Ranma said. After a moment of Charlotte getting the suitcase into the trunk, Ranma and Charlotte got into the car and Britanny started driving off.
"So, where are we going Britanny?"
Britanny smiled. "A really good restaurant..."
"EEK!!!"
"Oh, that's right. Sorry Charlie."
"But I thought you were married Cheetah..."
Ranma blinked. Wasn't the Suto Clan the greatest Ninclan in Japan? Also, wasn't that the clan that held the famed title of 'Daishi' for their leader?
