One minute, he was standing in the middle of a road next to the Goddess who proclaimed that she will grant his wish. The next minute, he found himself weightless and completely nude. He could tell that he was underneath a huge warm body of water by the signals that his skin was sending to his brain. He quickly surfaced to get a sweet taste of air.
The bathing room was quite steamy and he could barely make out the pearlish material used to construct this room. 'I should probably get out of here before...'
"What is a mortal doing here?" The cool tone of that female voice practically froze Ranma in his tracks. He turned around to see a pale skinned female with bluish silver hair, blue eyes and three small circles on her forehead with two marks hidden by her bangs of hair. Her upper torso was completely bare and it was only thanks to the steam rising from the bathing water that he couldn't see her naked breasts. Behind the female were two smaller females with white hair and curious blue eyes.
"I swear! This ain't what it looks like!"
Then Peorth's melodic voice echoed throughout the room. "Sorry to keep you waiting! I needed to find my special soaps that would do a thorough job of cleaning out the grime in your skin!" There was another loud splash that came from behind him. "Now hold still while I wash your back!" The moment her hands were on his skin, Ranma seemed to zone out but neither Goddess had noticed.
The other female occupant of the bath blinked once. "Peorth?"
A look of genuine surprise appeared on her face when she actually noticed the pale-skinned Goddess. "Lind? My goodness, I'm sorry for interrupting your private time! Oh... you don't have to worry about this mortal! He's married to Skuld and he just needs a proper cleaning before his reunion!"
The cold glare she had been directing towards the male earlier changed itself into a neutral one. "His name has been circulating around the Heavens as of late... Saotome Ranma, correct?"
The best response he could give was an undignified "Unh" as Peorth worked on his back. Lind slowly approached the male to examine him a bit further. "Your way of life parallels the philosophy of the Valkyries in some sense. Would you mind if I asked you some questions about your Art?"
"Ah! Where did that shampoo go?!" As Peorth scooted away, Ranma's body tilted forward and landed on top of Lind. She could feel something rather large poke her outer thigh in the water.
'That's... his...' Both of her angels, Cool Mint and Spear Mint, now sported identical blushes on their faces.
"Rose scented shampoo! Where did you go?"
Lind was glad that Peorth was preoccupied because there was no way she wouldn't spread this little incident throughout Heaven. 'Oh my...'
**********
As soon as Ranma regained his bearings, he found himself in front of a large closet with aisles of sophisticated male clothes and only wearing his boxers. "I see you're feeling much better now! I knew that my massage technique would get you to relax!" exclaimed Peorth, dressed in her usual attire cheerfully.
"What's with all of this?" It was bad enough when he had to deal with the tuxedo on his wedding.
"Well, you're going to pick an outfit for your reunion! What should we go for?"
He could feel a massive headache approaching as he saw row after row of expensive looking clothes. They didn't really seem too comfortable for fighting too. "Can't I just go with what I was wearing before I made that wish?"
"Absolutely not!!" thundered the Goddess. "Now if you won't pick something out, I'll have to do it myself! You're lucky I took your measurements so I know what size you are!" She flew into the large closet and started throwing outfit after outfit out towards the young man.
"... a little help, Kami-sama?" Just as he asked that question, a small text bubble popped in front of him.
Sorry, son. You're on your own.
Kami-sama
"What are you waiting for?! Start trying them on!" shouted Peorth from inside the closet.
