Looking back and forth between the two ladies, Ranma was confused. It's obvious neither of them spoke Japanese. "Well, maybe if she listened to them enough and started reading some books, she could start learning it." Ranma thought to herself.
"Ranma..." Gina began in Japanese. "These are two ladies are students of my mom's. The one with blue hair is Carla. The one with brown hair is Luan."
Turning to look at the two women, Ranma bowed. While it was evening in Japan, it seemed to be morning here. "Ohayo Luan-san. Ohayo Carla-san."
Blinking Carla said, "But this isn't Ohio..."
Brianna looked towards them and sweat-dropped. "She said, 'good morning' in Japanese."
"Oh..." Both girls said. Soon, the doors to the dojo opened again. In walked, Julia, still dragging Gar, who's gi was now covered in numerous grass and mud stains, and a few tears, and behind him was an older man with whtie hair, goatee, and a black bodysuit of some sort.
"I just want my hand back..." Gar muttered from the floor.
"Okay Brianna." The older man spoke. "Tell your mother and I what it is about you wanting to adopt a child."
"Well, you see mom, dad..." Brianna went silent for a moment.
"Brianna..." Theo enquired.
"Well you see..." Sighing, Brianna just spoke up. "You see, I feel really bad for Ranma. She is an accident, like me. But unlike me, she didn't have anyone there to help her. I just want to help her out, give her someone to lean on just as I did in the beginning." Brianna looked at her parents. True, there wasn't much to why she wanted to adopt Ranma, but it was the truth.
Theo looked at Julia and she looked back at him. They whispered a conversation for a moment, somewhat arguing. After coming to an agreement, the two looked at Brianna for a long moment.
"Well daughter..." Julia began. I can understand you wanting to help her, but are you sure you're ready for motherhood? It's not all that easy you know..."
"I'm sure mom. Brianna said. I am prepared to work hard!"
"Also Brianna..." Theo began. "You will have to make numerous changes to your life-style."
"I know, I already had a talk like this with Britanny and Gina. I know how I'll have to 'clean myself up', so to speak.
Somewhat accepting that answer, Julia nodded her head. "Very well then. Brianna, you may adopt Ranma, and we will do it under our name, since you are too young legally to do it."
"OH THANKS!" Brianna said as she lunged forward, grabbing the two in the hug. "I PROMISE TO BE THE BEST MOTHER I POSSIBLY CAN!"
"Sensei... My hand..." Gar muttered.
Walking over to Ranma, Brianna started telling her that she was part of the family. "Well, were a family now, and you can call me mom!"
"REALLY?" Ranma asked, almost not believing this woman wanted her as part of her family.
"Really!" Brianna confirmed.
"I am kind of hungry." *GRUMBLE*
"Of course Theo."
"Sensei... My hand..."
"Not on your life..."
"Eep..."
"... Thanks Sensei..."
