"Well, alright, I'll give it a shot..." Ukyo said, frowning. "But I'm still upset with you for running way from me like that."
"Aw, come on, Ucchan." Ranma said, frowning. "It wasn't like I was runnin' from you or anything. It was just everything all at once. Yaknow?"
"Okay, Ran-chan." Ukyo said, with a sigh, mentally bringing her business acumen to bear. "The first thing we need to do is make a list of your biggest problems."
Ranma nodded. "'Kay. Makes sense."
Ukyo nodded, and pulled out a piece of paper, and began writing. "Okay, first there's your Jusenkyo curse."
Ranma nodded. "Yeah. Changing into a red-headed girl every time I get splashed with water is a total pain."
Ukyo nodded a bit. "Though it wouldn't be as bad if you had some kind of control over your curse."
Ranma sighed. "Yeah. But I'd still have to deal with all of the crazy stuff going on around Nerima."
"Too true." Ukyo sighed. "Dealing with your rivals can be a total pain. It'd be nice if we could get away from them for a while. Ukyo specifically chose not to mention the fiancee situation. If she did, the Genie might keep her and Ran-chan apart.
Ranma nodded in reply. "Yeah. But I'd like to be able to get away from the fiancee brigade for a while too."
Ukyo winced at that. She knew she was usually considered a member of the brigade. "But Ran-chan. I don't know what I'd do without you. Besides, you came to me with this."
Ranma blinked a few times. "Aw heck, Ukyo. I didn't mean it like that. It's just been so long since you and I were just buddies, and I don't really have any. I just wish I could find some real friends, and didn't have to deal with all this junk."
Ukyo winced, hearing Ranma utter the W word, and slowly turned to look at the Genie.
The cute big-busted blond with the tan, and the chirpy vacant expression and behavior grinned, watching the two. "Okay, so cutie here wants to go someplace he doesn't have to deal with the craziness in Nerima, wants to control his curse, but doesn't want to turn into a red head. His girlfriend wants to go too, but he doesn't want to deal with fiancees. He wants friends! She nodded to herself. She definitely had a handle on the situation. She even knew the perfect way to grant the wish! "Kiyone would be so proud!"
"Granted!" Came the cheerful reply!
A sense of doom pervaded Ranma and Ukyo as they just stared at the Genie who crossed her arms and legs, nodded, and blinked, before disappearing in a puff of smoke. The two stared after her in shock.
