"Oh, hi Mom!" Chibi-usa nervously replied. "Just trying to keep out of Uncle Ranma's way."
"But you don't have to hide..."
"Who said I was hiding?"
"You're crawling behind a table."
The pink haired girl winced. "Don't tell him, please. He already gives me more than I want, and Aunt Haruna'll hear if from him..."
"'Auntie' Haruna?"
"Yeah. They got married, and when you needed tutors, you sent me to them. Of course, you always tell me that you had to go through it..."
Makoto blinked as she looked over at the girl. "Ranma married our teacher?"
"Uh-huh. Seems they worked together when he came to give a special course at the school and..."
"We can figure out the rest."
"There does seem to be a running theme," Ami murmured. "It does seem to get rather expected after a while."
"I don't know about that," said an older Chibi-usa in sensible, but sylish, clothing as she came in. "But where's Auntie Naru? She's always in Uncle Ranma's lab at this time."
"Naru married Ranma?"
"Yes, she did."
"But what about Umino?" Usagi asked.
"He went through something involving Chinese Amazons or something. It's never been real clear, or Auntie Naru's favorite subject."
"Okay..."
"You know, it's like just about every girl we know has married him."
"They have?" asked a new Chibi-usa, this one looking like an ordinary teenager.
"And who's married to Ranma where you come from?"
"Auntie Unazuki, who else?"
"Hmmm. Right."
"Well, you do have to admit that Ranma will definately have some good chances here," the Senshi of Jupiter commented.
"With him married to someone in each timeline? How do you figure on it being any other way?"
"But what I'd really like to know is what sort of enemies we have coming up. You know, it'd be nice to beat them up before they get a chance to strike."
"Forewarned is foreplayed," mangled Minako.
"Well, we do know that we have to face this 'Galaxia' person," commented Ami.
"Woman," corrected Dai-Mamoru, "She's got a lot of power, and sends out these four girls to get ya. An' they do a lot like what the others did, since they were looking for star seeds. But she's just bein' possessed, and when you get to her, Dad uses his powers to get rid of it."
"Is that it?"
"There's Happosai!" called out another Chibi-Usa.
Bunny shivered in disgust. "That guy? He's never learned that Uncle Ranma is the only guy that Aunt Haruka wants to touch her, like Mom is with Dad."
"He's came when he heard that there were cute superheroines in short skirts."
"Not where I come from," said the Chibi-usa in the military school uniform, "About the time that Ranma's mother insisted that he do the honorable thing, the little troll came along."
"Why was that?" the Senshi of Love asked.
"Because he's the guy who trained Ranma's father, and he saw it as an opportunity."
"Oh..."
"But basically he's just a panty thief, groping pervert and all around annoyance. So long as he doesn't come across something that can cause trouble."
"Just great..."
"Someone want to explain why Auntie Setsuna's edging towards the exit?" asked a young adult Chibi-usa wearing a ring as she entered.
Trying not to note the glinting on her possible future daughter's hand, Usagi frowned. "Setsuna! You're not going to still try and hurt Ranma, are you?!"
"Not at all," Pluto replied in all honesty. This was no longer about getting rid of Ranma right now. That could be dealt with later. What was more important was current survival, or at least elbow room. "Take a look around you. What do you see?"
"Uhh... Lots of Chibi-usa..."
"Exactly. I don't know what we'll do about all this, but I do know that if I don't close the Time Gate now, they'll keep coming."
The reincarnated princess bit her lip for a moment while:
