“Yeah, but this is an arranged marriage, so the order is different,” Ranma pointed out, regaining a bit of his equilibrium as he realized that even on a new world some things weren’t apparently going to change. “We have to know each other a lot better before any fluid exchange… err kissing is involved.”
Akane settled down as she realized that it was just another misunderstanding caused by their different cultures. ‘I guess he’s used to those.’
Raven knew that it was going to turn out this way, but she still had to ask, “So, you don’t mind being engaged to me as opposed to one of my sisters?”
“Nah, that’s fine. I’m sure it beats being beat on for being a ‘perverted male’ or used in scams or engaged to someone I’d see as a mother figure.”
Raven raised an eyebrow, wondering if he had a touch of precognition too.
Akane just smiled, happy to have slipped out of the engagement and silently agreeing that he was a perverted male.
Nabiki wondered where he got his information from, since he clearly knew enough about them to know what their responses would be, but hadn’t known about the engagement.
Kasumi smiled pleasantly, as always, but a small corner of her mind was worrying over the fact that he saw her as a mother figure despite the fact that they’d just met. ‘Am I that unattractive? He’s only a couple of years younger than me, he should see me as desirable, right?’
Ranma stood up when his watch beeped. “I’d love to continue this conversation, but I have training. I’ll be back in three hours.”
"Hold on, there's a dangly thread there," said K'ontour.
TUG - FWUMP!
Ranma’s pants became a cloud of threads that fell to the floor, as he was outlined in a shimmering light and vanished.
“Where did he go?” Akane demanded.
K'ontour pulled out a day planner and started paging through it. “Ranma has training with Batman in the afternoon today.”
“Batman, is training Ranma?!” yelled all the native Tendos.
The alien looked at the girls as if they had just told her the sun was blue. “Don’t be silly.”
Everyone relaxed a little, thinking it was indeed silly to imagine Batman training the boy they’d just met.
“Ranma is training Batman. Ranma’s got a job, helping the better hand to hand fighters of the JLA improve their techniques.”
Flash turned to Hawkgirl. “OK, who bet he’d be sans pants this time?”
