Ranma rolled over and looked at his fiancee. He didn't like how there was a hint of fear in her voice.
On the phone, one could easilly hear Genn say, "What 'favor' do you need!? Your mothers look like they're about to BLOW!"
Chuckling slightly, Brianna said, "Could you give them our regards and apologies that we might not see them again for another five years?"
"FIVE YEARS!?" Genn screamed over the phone. Then Brianna noticed the sound of metal striking metal in the backround noise of the phone. "HOLY! NOW THEY'RE GOING AT IT WITH SWORD!!!"
Ranma sighed in defeat. Why is it this sort of chaos always seemed to happen around him no matter what?
Brianna's left eye twitched. If her mom didn't get along with her future mother-in-law, things might not go so well. Even if she and Ranma are supposed to live 'happily ever-after' due to teh wish, Brianna didn't want to try to push her luck. "Uh, Genn..."
"WHAT BRI!?" Genn shouted over the phone in a state of near-panic. Brianna and Ranma could not only hear the sounds of fighting in the backround over the phone, but insults the mothers were slinging at each other about the other's kid as well.
"Could you apologize for us on our behalf about how we wont see them for another ten years?"
"T, TEN YEARS!?" Genn shouted. Before she could say more, Brianna clicked a button on the head-set, turning it off.
Ranma looked at his future wife as she was standing up from the bed. He had to admit she had one heck of a beautiful body. "Sorry about this, love." He said. "Mom is over-reacting."
"So is my mom." Brianna said as she slipped on some panties. She grabbed Ranma's pants from off the floor and tossed them to him. "Get dressed. We're leaving. NOW!"
Ranma blinked. "But we shouldn't have to runa way! We could just go dowstairs and try talking to them, try to starighten things out, you know?"
Brianna started to laugh. "Ranma, I'll be honest. I never told anyone where I was going before I leftr to save you. They're gonna be a bit 'put-off' that I got myself a fiancee without even telling them!"
Ranma sighed. Oh well, nothing too wrong with not seeing his mother for another ten years. He's done it once, he could do it again.
(------)
Meanwhile, outside, three certain wererats, dressed in black ninja-like outfits were hanging from the storm-gutters of the hotel and peeking into Ranma and Brianna's room through the window.
"She's so... So... 'BIG'!" Romeo said as he watched Brianna dress. True, he was downright scared of her, but right now hormones were winning over ingrained instincts of fear.
Lydia hit Romeo on the side of the head and began to scold him in a voice barely above a whisper. "Not so loud you #@$&ing idiot! You trying to notify them that we're $#@&ing here!?"
"No..." Romeo said.
"Good!" Lydia said. "Because of that #@%$ing bitch, Brianna, we lost out on getting Zero's gold. Now that we're out of that $@*#ing Leprechaun prison, we have to pay Zero back." Lydia then smiled. "And that stupid @#%$ Brianna, who %$#@ed us over is going to be the one to pay us back!"
Moisha sighed as she watched Ranma stand up from the bed to get dressed. "Can we take the 'Handsome Prince' too? I mean, he looks looks so yummy! And he's so big!"
"What the &$#@ are you #@&*inmg talking about?" Asked Lydia. She then looked at Ranma and got to see that a certain part of Ranma was 'hung like a horse'. "Well, I'll be #@&$ed. That IS big..."
Romeo whimpered. He was starting to feel inadequate.
(------)
As soon as she was dressed, Brianna grabbed her bag of luggage, (with bag of holding for dowry) and started running, also carrying Ranma in toe.
"Hold it, I'm not fully dressed!" Ranma said. He had only gotten his pants and shoes on, and he didn't like leaving his shirt behind.
"I'll buy you another shirt, right now we gotta LEAVE!" Brianna said as she opened the door to her and Ranma's hotel room and RAN down the back stairwell which was a fire-exit.
Brianna smirked. They were almost home free. "As soon as we get away from here, we'll elope! We'll then find a quickie chapel, so that we can get married, and our parents won't be able to do a thing about it!" Brianna had reached the bottom of the stairs in record time. She opened the door that lead into the back alley.
And stopped as she saw Britanny standing there.
"Going somewhere, Bri?" Britanny asked, her arms folded over her chest. Her eyebrow was twitching in irritation.
Brianna chuckled nervously as she dropped Ranma and her luggage to the side. "Oh, we were just going to see my mom and dad, and tell them everything was going to be all right."
Ranma got to his feet. He turned around and saw Britanny. He then turned to Brianna. "You know her?"
Britanny frowned slightly. "You didn't even tell him about your family!?"
Brianna chuckled nervously some more. "Ranma, this is my older sister, Britanny. Brit, this is my fiance, Ranma. Ranma, Brit. Brit, Ranma. There! You two met, no foul, right?"
Britanny sighed. "Brianna, could you and your soon-to-be husband just come into the lobby now? Mom is fighting with Ranma's mom, and I don't want to see either of them get hurt."
Brianna sighed. She knew there was no getting out of this confrontation. "Just tell me one thing Brit."
"Sure. What is it?" Britanny said.
"How'd you know I'd be trying to sneak out with Ranma?" Brianna asked.
Britanny let out a good natured sigh. "Because that's exactly what I almost did with Stryyp when everyone wanted to call the wedding off." With the stares she gotm, Britanny shrugged her shoulders. "What can I say? If the others weren't going to be for Stryyp and I getting married, then I wouldn't have minded eloping with my Muffin."
Brianna sighed. She remembered that day. It was a bit hectic for everyone involved. "There's no getting out of this, is there?"
"Nope." Britanny answered.
Ranma let out a sigh of relief. "Trust me Bri, it won't be as bad. I mean sure, my mom has a weird sense of honor and what is manly, she's still my mom. I'm more than certain she'll welcome you into the family."
Brianna sighed. She sure hoped so.
