"Here's the paperwork," said Urd, arriving out of a TV. "Don't worry. Hotaru won't remember any of this. She's in a trance right now."
"She's not a fiancee is she? I mean, she's got to be nine years old!"
"Ten," corrected Urd. "Minor change in the timeline. One of those ripple things. You have just adopted a little girl named Hotaru Tomoe, now Hotaru Saotome. She's destined to become Sailor Saturn or else become the Bringer Of Silence. Due to a problem in the system, she would have been killed by Uranus and Neptune later on in this timeline - causing all sorts of problems. Instead you're adopting her, and this will-"
"Cause all sorts of crap from my fiancees." Ranma groaned. "I show up with a daughter? They'll go ape."
"Not necessarily." Urd shook her finger. "You can also go to the Shrine Of The Fateful - near Nekomi Tech, and talk to myself or my two sisters if you need help. She's got some health problems and you'll need to compensate. Next time you're there we'll brief you on the Sailor Senshi and some other data. When we send you back, she'll remember that you saved her from some bullies, found out that she had no home, and promised to take care of her. Three days will have passed for the rest of the world and you'll have 'accidently' adopted her in that time."
"Oh," said Ranma, wondering how nasty Akane was going to be.
"Address of the shrine will be in your datacube," said Urd. "Go to it."
"But I-" Ranma stopped as Furinkan High School faded in around them and Hotaru shook her head as if just coming awake.
"Papa?" Hotaru said, questioningly as she realized her new father was looking bewildered.
"Uhm, this is my school," said Ranma, "oh boy am I in trouble."
Hotaru giggled cutely. "You're so funny, Papa."
