Once upon a time, there had been a boy, and a girl. Several girls, in fact.
There had also been a panda, a pig, and many other characters, but whatever, whatever.
**Option A
Tendou Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi looked across the room, sitting in seiza on the tatami mats.
The Saotome's looked back, likewise.
"Ahh, so... the portly man "hem'd".
"You've met Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi already, correct?" Souun bubbled.
"Oh, yes...thank you for a marvelous meal, old friend..."
"...Where'd the panda go, anyway?" Nabiki mumbled to Kasumi.
"I have no idea. It seems to move remarkably swiftly, for such a portly animal..."
"Ahh, em..." Saotome Genma coughed.
"This is my son Ranma, and my daughter Ranko."
The brown-haired boy and the red-haired girl looked back at them, stoicly. The girl smiled, a bit.
The boy, on the other hand, scowled.
"Wrong."
"...What? ...Ranma..."
"No. Tousan, this is utterly ridiculous. - Kasumi-san, were are the buckets? I need some hot and cold water here..."
"...Ranmaa...Come on, you don't have to..."
"Shut up, Tousan. The buckets, please? ...Oh, never mind. On the other hand..."
The Tendo's gaped as the boy simply jumped into the Koi pond next to the Dojo.
Akane gasped, looking from the pond to the room and back again. What...what?
The boy in the pond had turned into a replica of his sister, the second he hit the water.
"Oh, alright, alright..."
The boy sighed, and jumped over all of them, following his twin into the pond. Akane glugged, as Genma covered his face with his hands. Had she just seen the boy turn into a rather familier-looking girl, now?
"...Children. Why must you shame me so..."
"Shame...Ha ha ha ha, shame that.- Sorry, fish!"
Nabiki and Kasumi stepped nimbly out of the way as a whole scupper-ful of water came flying one Saotome Genma's way.
"So that's were the panda went..."
The Tendou's were starting to mix it up in a free-for-all when Akane's voice and crackling battle aura cut through the air.
"Alright, then. Which one of you sparred with me a hour ago, and which one of you saw me in the bath..."
**Option B
Tendou Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi looked across the room, sitting in seiza on the tatami mats.
The Saotome's looked back, likewise.
"Ahh, so... the portly man "hem'd".
"You've met Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi already, correct?" Souun bubbled.
"Oh, yes...thank you for a marvelous meal, old friend..."
"...Where'd the panda go, anyway?" Nabiki mumbled to Kasumi.
"I have no idea. It seems to move remarkably swiftly, for such a portly animal..."
"Ahh, em..." Saotome Genma coughed.
"This is my son ...Ranma. And you are..."
The brown-haired boy looked back at them. And scowled.
"Wrong."
"...What? ...Ranma..."
"No. Tousan, this is utterly ridiculous. - Kasumi-san, were are the buckets? I need some hot and cold water here..."
"...Ranmaa...Come on, you don't have to..."
"Shut up, Tousan. The buckets, please? ...Oh, never mind. On the other hand..."
The Tendo's gaped as the boy simply jumped into the Koi pond next to the Dojo.
Akane gasped, looking from the pond to the room and back again. What...what?
The boy in the pond had turned into a red-haired girl the second he hit the water.
"...Oh, son. Why must you shame me so..."
"Shame...Ha ha ha ha, shame that.- Sorry, fish!"
Nabiki and Kasumi stepped nimbly out of the way as a whole scupper-ful of water came flying one Saotome Genma's way.
"So that's were the panda went..."
"My name is Saotome Ranko, and I'm a girl, normally. Get it? Girl. Female person. Like, daughter."
Souun buried his head in his hands. The Genma-panda held out a placard.
(What's wrong with being a son, if fate sends you the chance to be?)
"Because I'm a girl. Moron."
The Tendou's were starting to mix it up in a free-for-all. Akane thought, furiously.
"OK, so he was a boy but he's not really, so..."
**Option C
Tendou Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi looked across the room, sitting in seiza on the tatami mats.
The Saotome's looked back, likewise.
"Ahh, so... the portly man "hem'd".
"You've met Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi already, correct?" Souun bubbled.
"Oh, yes...thank you for a marvelous meal, old friend..."
"...Where'd the panda go, anyway?" Nabiki mumbled to Kasumi.
"I have no idea. It seems to move remarkably swiftly, for such a portly animal..."
"Ahh, em..." Saotome Genma coughed.
"This is my son, Ranma. And you are..."
Ranma, on the other hand, was rather clearly being distracted. A very familier Ki was heading in his direction.
"...Ranko-chan, Ranko-chan, are you sure this is the right direction?"
"Yes, mum, hurry! Da and Ranma've come home!"
**Option D
Tendou Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi looked across the room, sitting in seiza on the tatami mats.
The Saotome's looked back, likewise. All seven of them.
"Ahh, so... the portly man "hem'd".
"You've met Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi already, correct?" Souun bubbled.
"Oh, yes...thank you for a marvelous meal, old friend..."
"...Where'd the panda go, anyway?" Nabiki mumbled to Kasumi.
"I have no idea. It seems to move remarkably swiftly, for such a portly animal..."
"Ahh, em..." Saotome Genma coughed.
"This is my son, Ranma, my daughter, Ranko, and my..."
Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi googled. And they'd thought they had lots of siblings and family...
**Option E
Tendou Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi looked across the room, sitting in seiza on the tatami mats.
The Saotome's looked back, likewise.
Akane sighed.
