Then Jessica blinked. What did she do to get shocked this time!? She knew she wasn't working on the lab or any other sort of small project. She was just walking into the kitchen to make herself a snak when she suddenly fell through some vortex in the floor, and suddenly found herself feeling a powerful electrical current coursing through her body.
Jessica sat up. She was on a couch. Great, just a couch. No biggie. Oh, and there was grandma and grandpa! Wait... Why did they look pretty damn good? Grandma knew that Renewing Breath technique but her grandfather didn't and was in his seventies... Wasn't he?
"Grandma, Grandpa? What's going on?" Jessica asked.
Theo sighed as he sat down in a chair near the couch. "Well Jessica, it's kind of difficult to explain for the moment. But from what I can understand is that you are from a possible future."
Jessica let out a groan. "I'm got sent back in time again? God dang it gets to be such a pain in the butt!"
Blinking her eyes for a moment, Jessica asked, "Hey, do you know where mom is?"
"Right here." Julia said as she pointed to the fainted Brianna Diggers.
Jessica blinked. "Why is mom passed out?"
"Apparently she wasn't ready to hear about the fact she has a family in the future."
Jessica nodded her head. "Is dad around?"
Theo shook his head. "Nope, I'm sorry. I believe your father would still be in Japan. Don't worry, we're making arrangements to head over to Japan to see what we can find out about your father."
It was then there was a gust of wind as Britanny ran into the room. Gina had been able to revive the werecheetah, who was now a bit frantic.
Jessica blinked her eyes in surprise as her tail swished back and forth along the couch. "Aunt Britanny? Are you okay?"
Britanny blinked a few moments, she was surprised by the politeness of the girl. Shaking her head a few times, Britanny asked, "What can you tell me about your brothers and sisters?"
The question caught Jessica off guard, but she shook it off easilly. "Well, I'm the eldest so you know. Then was my sister Cyan. Mom named her 'Cyan' under your suggestion auntie, since she happened to be a full werecheetah instead of a Lycanthropoid like me. Then there was Tenma. Boy, does his name ever have great meaning. He's always hanging around 'Uncle' Ace's. The sky horse sure loves planes and aviation. Then there are the youngest Ariel and my half-sister, Britanny Junior."
Britanny winced. "May I ask about Britanny Junior?"
Shrugging her shoulders, Jessica said, "Sure. What happened was interesting really. An old fiancee of dad's wanted to get dad into the sack with her. She even had this weird potion she created from botanicals. Well, you were able to get the bottle, and as usual, you tried to break it as you do most important objects..."
Britanny winced. Looks like that habit of hers caught up with her. "And let me guess. Ranma happened to be there when I broke it, we were... Um..." Britanny started blushing.
Shaking her head, Jessica answered, "Yes. You and dad were influenced by the contents and spent a long while having wild, passionate sex." Seeing the blank stares she recieved, Jessica asked, "What?"
Britanny grumbled. Okay, so she DID happen to cheat on her husband... At least she wasn't TRYING to, just a horrible twist of fate.
Julia and Theo sighed with Jessica's language. Apparently she was just as open on the subject as her mother.
"Just as I thought." A new voice said. "It's like mom was telling me."
Turning their heads to the new voice, they all saw a young girl that looked like a younger Gina. That is if Gina had red hair...
"It's just like dad said." The Gina-look-a-like said. When Ranma got a wish from a genie and wished that he, and I quote "Knew what to do" about the problem of all the women after him for marriage and other things, then I and a whole bunch of other daughters appeared. He would get to know us and make his choice."
All the other Diggers gathered blinked. "I take it you're Gian's daughter?" Theo asked.
"Yes grandfather." The girl said. "My name is Karen Saotome. And may I say it is nice to see you looking so healthy."
Gina then happened to walk into the room. "Okay, I got a Light Gate set ane we can head off as soon as Brianna is..." Gina trailed off as she started staring at Karen. "What the..."
Karen smiled. "Karen Saotome. And it's good to see you too mom."
THUD
Theo sighed. There was just no way they were going to get to Japan, was there?
Looking over at Karen, Jessica asked, "Hey, if dad has to make a choice, does this mean if he chooses someone else, we won't exist?"
Karen shook her head. "No. Just a misconception the Keeper of the Time Gates had. We wouldn't exist in this dimension anymore, which is VERY true. However, she always tends to overlook all the off-shoots to the time-line as she would focus on Crystal Tokyo..."
"So we will exist?" Jessica askjed hopefully.
Karen nodded her head. "Yes. Just a different timeline."
Jessica let out a sigh. "Thank God!"
Britanny looked back and forth between the two future daughters of Ranma. "So let me get this staright. I won't be seeing a future daughter of mine because I'm married to Stryyp, right?"
"Correct auntie Britanny." Karen said.
Britanny let out a sigh. "Okay, good. There are just some things I would like to find out on my own."
As the Diggers of present time went to trying to awaken Gina and Brianna, Jessica then moved over and leaned in Karen's ear to whisper a question. "So is your aunt Britanny having an affair with your dad in the future as well as mine?"
"Yep..." Was all Karen would comment on that.
