The Yashida ninjas had regained consciousness and dealt with the amazons. The police was called and Nodoka would make a statement that would justify deportation for the three of them. The leader of the squad signaled Ranma it was time to go back. They went out of the park.
Nodoka hugged both Ranma and Nabiki in front of the black limo waiting for them.
"Will you be okay, mom ?" Millia and Nabiki entered the car while Ranma still talked with his mother. The middle Tendo daughter discovered the bar and poured herself a drink, she needed a stiff one after all this day's emotions.
Nodoka benevolently smiled "Don't worry, son !" She fingered her wrapped katana "I have ways to make your father and the others understand the seriousness of the situation. I can't guarantee that they won't be coming after you but I'll try"
Ranma chuckled, nothing short of a death threat would do the trick "All right, mom. I guess... This is goodbye" He kissed his mother on the cheek and turned to leave.
"And take care of Nabiki, son ! If you don't invite me to your wedding, I'll never forgive you ! And I want many, many grandchildren !" That last parting shot made him facefault in the pavement.

"Ranma, your mother is a little... How can I say it ?" Millia made the universal gesture designating someone who wasn't right there in the head.
Ranma blushed "Well, she's very nice but she has some weird ideas about manliness and all that crap... In her opinion, I should peep at naked women and sleep around"
Millia boggled "Sounds paradoxical. She seemed so traditional, these kind of people are generally first-class prudes"
"Tell me about it !" Ranma suddenly noticed that Nabiki was trying to empty the limo's bar of alcohol by herself "Hey, Nabiki... Is something wrong ?"
"Something wrong ? Something wrong !?" She wasn't totally drunk yet but she was working on it "That old mummy tried to murder me ! I'm alive only because I'm a freak like you !"
Ranma opened his mouth but was interrupted "And now, I have to follow you to your school and never go back to my family ! Those idiots won't be able to survive without my help !" She drank another glass of whisky "And to top all of it off, auntie Saotome is going to tell everyone that I'm the new Tendo fiancee ! 'He's a mutant, she's a mutant. It's a match made with heaven's blessings !' I can hear my father say that already..."
She glared at Ranma, her speech slurring more and more "Your... other floozies... will come after me... too ! Who knows how many... others Genma arranged ? I don't wanna... have crazy marital... martial artists bimbos after my...ass ! *Hic* Ranma, this... all your... fault..."
Ranma patted her on the shoulder "Look at the bright side, Nabiki. Sunfire-sensei accepted to take you in. Your powers will protect you and I'll even teach you martial arts if you want... You'll receive a first-class education and get into any university you want, it will be paid by the Yashida clan"
Nabiki jumped and sat in his lap "Oh, Ranma... you say the... sweetest things *Hic* sometimes" She rubbed herself against him "Do you think... I'm pretty ?"
Ranma and Millia's hair toinged and sweatdrops appeared in the back of their heads "We can assume she's completely drunk now..." Millia tried to pry her off to no avail "Damn, she's strong !"
Then, the drunken haze she was in dissipated and Nabiki took stock of her situation. She jumped back into her seat, blushing furiously and berating herself *Nabiki no baka ! You can't fall for that immature dumb jerk !*
"What the hell ? You were simulating !?" Millia was seriously thinking about exacting physical punishment on that little treacherous mercenary. A corner of her mind filed the drunk act as a possible tactic *Hmm... Vodka and Ranma... Where did that come from *?
"No, I don't think so..." The two girls turned to Ranma in surprise "She was really drunk but her body must have eliminated the alcohol in record time. Wolverine has the same problem, he can't stay drunk long no matter how much he tries..."
*Damn, Ranma has learned to think a little in America... The old him would have never come up with a decent explanation like that* The gears in Nabiki's mind turned full force *I wonder how are the other students ?*
