Skuld smiled. "My Hammer-Space Converter 1500! Garunteed to use the secret of the Amazon Wu Shu Hidden Weapons Style to make for more effective space handling!"
Ranma smirked. He idly wondered if Mousse got any royaltiees on that, but figured as long as the myopic fighter didn't know, the better the goddesses would be off.
Peorth looked at her future husband. "May I open these gifts now, darling?"
Ranma nodded his head. "Sure."
With a delightful smile on her face, Peorth tore open the first gift. The box conatined a set of mundane domestic equipment, cooking, cleaning, that sort of stuff.
Smiling, Belldandy said, "That gift's from me. I hope you'll find it useful."
"It's... Lovely." Peorth managed to choke out. Peorth could have sworn that Bell included a sample of every dish-washing soap under the sun! So, as could be suspected, Peorth wasn't quite excited... Ranma on the other hand...
"Cool!" Ranma said as he started looking through the box, happy as a kid on Christmas morning. "I haven't had cooking stuff since Pop sold mine a few years ago..." A small frown appeared on Ranma's face as he turned to glare at his father. "Idiot, how'd you expect us to cook anything we caught!?"
Genma decided to turn away from looking at his son, his son who has ruined his father's dream of early retirement off of Ranma's blood, sweat, and tears seeing the Saotome and Tendo Anything Goes Style merged and passed on.
Ignoring the panda, (Peorth didn't even consider him her father-in-law) Peorth opened the next box, which contained a whole collection of Earth clothes. (At least six different outfits.)
Looking over to the Goddesses, Peorth asked, "Is this a hint to stop wearing the goddess robes?"
Keiichi chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. "Kind of. The clothes you're wearing now will make you stand out. These clothes will help you blend in to your surroundings." He then added, "Anyway, that gift is from me and the others."
Peorth smiled. "Thank you you Keiichi."
Nabiki raised an eyebrow as Peorth opened the third box. It contained a collection of Mangas. Nabiki had to try to keep her jealousy down. Though no one in the house knew it, Nabiki was a closet otaku.
Peorth had a smile of joy on her face. "MANGA! Oh, these will be so useful for learning of the human culture, THANK YOU!"
Skuld then leant in very close to Peorth with narrowed eyes. "By the way, do you know what happened to MY mangas last time you visited?"
Peorth sweat-dropped. "Er... I have no idea what you're talking about... Really." Peorth started to sweat bullets and chuckled to herself. Deciding she needed to get the conversation off this topic, Peorth grabbed the fourth package and tore into it. It contained a few bottles of sake, some VERY naughty lingerie, aphrodisiacs, condoms... Oh yeah, this was DEFINITELY a way to get off of the subject of the manga Peorth 'borrowed' from Skuld.
"URD!!!" Peorth screamed at the top of her lungs, her face definitely a shade of red.
"What?" Urd asked, definitely confused. "These are things EVERY newly-wed couple needs."
Ranma blushed some more and looked over at Peorth, who just laughed lightly at this turn of events.
