"You?" Britanny said, standing over the involuntarily relaxing Brianna. "And you would be..."
"My daughter, of course," Gina said. "So what's going on?"
"Well," Gina's unnamed daughter said. "The way you and dad always tell it, he got a wish from a genie and wished that he 'knew what to do' about the problem of all the women after him for marriage and other things, and I and a whole bunch of other daughters appeared."
"It's major branch point then," Theo noted. "Coming soon, Ranma Saotome must choose a wife." The Gina-look a like nodded.
"And all of us will return to our native time-lines," the daughter answered. "By the way, I'm Karen Saotome."
****
Elsewhere others were giving the same explanation, and there was a collective sigh of relief as it became obvious that nobody would vanish from reality when Ranma made his choice. This, so far, was just shared point in time for every timeline these girls came from.
Others, of course did not have the benefit of such wisdoms. And they merely sought Ranma Saotome to find out who he was.

Bara Saotome looked at her teenaged mother rather blankly as she went into a weird sort of rant. She had heard similar things when her mother, Kodachi Saotome, was angry about something, but usually she ahd made sense.
"Dad's right, Mom," she said. "You WERE a loon at this age."

"I believe we must return to the Tendo Dojo a little earlier than planned," Natsume said, looking over her "daughter" with an unfamiliar anxiety.
"So you like ice cream too?" Kurumi asked of her daughter.
****
"So, I marry this Ranma," Morrigan said. "And, after about five hundred years of marriage, I have you." There was something a little depressed about that...Morrigan had always figured that she'd have more children, but, then again...Succubi weren't fertile often, if they were, there would shortly be an oversupply.
"That's right, Mom," Sidhe Saotome said, nodding. "Assuming this is my timeline we're in, yep."
Morrigan looked over her "daughter" again and decided that a catgirl-succubus wasn't such a bad thing.
****
"I think we should take a trip to Japan," Rally Vincent said blandly, still in partial shock.
****
All in all, about fifty girls came down out of the various futures. And those that knew what was going also knew one thing.
The quicker they could get Ranma to make a decision, ANY decision, the quicker they could go home.
And they passed this information along as they met others.
