Ranma was at this point relived that everything was going well with his future mother-in-law. It seem that his mother work with Dr. Mizuno as a fellow doctor in the hospital. Unlike Genma, Ranma actually listened to what his mother had to say about her day to day life. But he never imagined that his mother was a colleague of Dr. Mizuno. When he arrived Dr. Mizuno residence she was all for the union between the two but she was curious of who Tenma really was. Ranma talked privately with his two future brides and persuaded them to tell Dr. Mizuno about their after school activities. Though both girls were reluctant he had a point saying that Ami’s mother would never betray their secret.
“So you’re saying that you two are sailor scouts,” Dr. Mizuno trying to understand what exactly is going on.
“Yes,” Ami looked very nervous in her scout uniform.
“Not only is this young man, Ranma, your future husband but Makoto as well.”
“Yes,” Makoto also turned away to hide her embarrassment.
“And Tenma is in fact one of my grandchildren from the future,” The Doctor was gathering everything up into one coherent thought.
“Tenma how long has your parents been married,” Dr Mizuno wanting to know if this marriage would last longer than hers.
“Well obaba considering that my family life span is up to 1000 years in average I say for the past 369 years give or take,”
“Oh really in that case, I only have a few demands that non negotiable. First and foremost you girls and your friends are going to be examined every month to make sure no of you have health problems from your battles. Two, no babies until you are in college, so I will have to give you kids condoms and birth control pills since I can write out a prescription you don’t have to worry about unwanted questions,” at this Nodoka almost protested.
“Nodoka, I know you want grandchildren as soon as possible but let these kids get careers to support their families,” The doctor tried to reason with her old friend.
“Fair enough but as soon as they are accepted I expect one them pregnant by the end of their freshman year,” Ranma hung his head and sighed.
“Anything else,” Ranma asked.
“Just one more, Welcome to the family,” Saeko Mizuno hugged both Ranma and Makoto.
A great relief spread across the room as conversations went from when was the wedding date going to be, how they met each other, and so on. Ranma on the other hand was worried, he knew now that his pop was going to be nothing but trouble. What really concerned him was how could he support his family?
He first thought of going to enter tournaments, both legal and underground which his father forbid him to do. But he could care less of what his dad said. Then he remembered something that would not only help support his future family set them up for life.
“I have an idea of how to support the family, but requires all the sailor scout permission,” the young pigtailed man stated.
“Oh my son so manly already he is being responsible unlike my ex-husband,” Nodoka said with glee.
“Really Ranma what is your Idea,” Makoto wondering her new personal beef cake was thinking.
“I remember on the that Sailor scout merchandise industry is over 10 billion dollar industry I’m pretty sure if we have an agent to represent us and keep our identities secret, we could get a fair cut of the merchandise,”
“Your thinking about Nabiki aren’t you?” Ami knew from Ranma’s memories that Nabiki became his good friends after the wedding incident. And if anyone could out think those corporate sharks it would be that Tendo.
“Yep, I don’t know the exact math but you girls could get as much as forty million dollars each,” Ranma was getting a rough estimate.
“I’m all for it but your right this concerns all of us so what do you think?” Ami knew a good deal when she heard one with that much money college wouldn’t be a problem.
“Forty million, hell yeah I’ll do it. Not to mention finally get something’s straight in the dojunshi about me,” she was tried everyone think she was the dyke in the group.
“Hmm I am worried they might ask for your identities so they don’t have to pay for it,” Dr. Mizuno asked.
“True or they may say you are fakes just trying to cash in,” Nodoka also stated .
“I already thought of that we could just show our powers which no one can duplicate and two we will use your fan base to help us. I’m sure a lot of people will boycott if we ask. IF the way they act around my school is any indication you girls are loved as much as super idols,” Ranma grinned, soon more planning went under way.

Next day the engaged couple explained their plans to the girls. The first one to protest a black cat named Luna.
“ Are you insane, your duties are to build a better world not to get rich and how are you going to hide your money when your parents see it,”
“We though about that and we will have private accounts going through the Caymen islands where we can hide under aliases which no would be the wiser. And put it all under credit cards so you can hide it from your folks,” Makoto stated.
“Wait, don’t you mean our folks,” Rei catching that little tidbit.
“Nope me and Ranma already told our parents,” Ami quipped.
“WHAT!!!,” The girl said collectively.
“I knew it, I knew it, he's probably the one that put you up to this. Now we are all in danger cause of this man who will bring nothing but ruin,” as soon as the cat finish her rant, she was receiving of a pair cold stares from both Ami and Makoto.
“My mother only insisted that we go into private checkups after our battles once a month. We get check for any problems that magic can’t solve. And you even think for second that my mother would betray us then I will….”
“Easy there anata don’t skin the cat over this,” Ranma placed his arm on her shoulder to calm her down.
Not deterred Luna look toward Setsuna to back her up.
“I for one…” Luna knowing that Sailor Pluto would talk them out of this silly idea. “…am all for this heck it is ingenious plan Ranma who knew there was a brain behind all that brawn.”
“I’ll that as a complement and leave it at that.” Ranma grinned at Setsuna’s joke.
“What?!?,” Luna who jaw practically hit the floor “How you condone this.”
“Well let me see, Rei as Sailor Mars gets her on talk show that take place of Oprah when it finally goes off the air, Minako as Sailor Venus starts as a Idol singer that becomes world wide Pop star. Ami becomes as Sailor Mercury is in charge a large medical diet with branches in the US, Makoto as Sailor Jupiter has a show that world wide popularity equal to Rachel Ray, Sailor Uranus three time formula one racing champ, Sailor Neptune becomes a world famous composer,” Setsuna just laid out everything she saw in the timeline if this didn’t win them over nothing will. She was getting her own clothing design up there with Louis Vuitton and Gucci. She would be was insane to pass such a opportunity.
This announcement had wide range of reactions Rei and Minako were already preparing themselves for their future careers, while Makoto and Ami kissed Ranma over and over again for allow in them to have their dreams come true. The outers were coming to terms with the news Haruka was at war with herself while she was still sore from losing a match with him but cause of him she reach her dreams beyond her expectations. If she threw away this opportunity cause her pride she would hate herself. But her decision was made for her when a death grip on her shoulder was made by her lover.
“Haruka dear, don’t you care about my dreams,” Michuru said this with sea green light flash out of her eyes. This left no doubt the Haruka would be in big $#!+ if she tried to fight this.
“Ye-Yes, course Michuru-chan,” Sailor Uranus sweated heavily.
“What about me Setsuna-mama,”
“You become an actress and rather well loved one,” The mistress of time couldn’t help but grin at her daughters happiness in becoming a big star.
“Me, me what about me,” Usagi bouncing happily hoping something really cool happen to her as well.
“You own half of Haagen-Dazs,” the princess looks dangerously at Luna and gave the cat a warning that she would not interfere with Ranma’s brilliant plan.
Luna for once was at a complete lose no one would side with her. This man was still suspicious in her book but for now.

*ring* *ring*
“Hello oh Ranma-kun where you been?” Kasumi said in a worried tone. “Oh, your with your mother.” Another brief pause as Ranma talked on his end.
“Oh you wish to talked to Nabiki...Business you say...Well I hope she isn’t cheat you, Nabiki can be such a loan shark if need be,” Kasumi said while her sister walked in with lollipop in her mouth.
“Gee thanks sis, okay saotome what’s do you have for me,”
“Mmmhmm, mmmhmm, what? What!?!...Ranma if your lying to me I will make sure your life is a living hell.” This grab everyone attention even Genma and Soun who kept one eye on the mercenary Tendo. “Quick give me the address,… uh huh got it see you in about Hour, bye Ranma-kun,”
“Where the perverted jerk he at one those hussy houses isn’t he,”
“Genma how could you raised such boy to cheat on my little girl,”
“Oh gods why have been cursed with such disrespectful son,” (Seriously do I have to say who is who they are. ^_^;)
“Look Akane, I don’t have time to listen to your paranoid rant right now I have serious business to take care that could set me up for life,” Nabiki said as she shoved Akane aside to reach her room where she had contracts just in case of such opportunities. Ten minutes later a cab showed at the front gates.
Much to her ire Akane and both fathers were waiting by the cab for her.
“Your not going,” Nabiki said as she walked towards the cab.
“If you two think you are going cow me in letting you come with me your deluision,”
“Now see here daughter…”
“No daddy you listen to me I pay the bills around this house not you so unless you start working you got no say and Genma if you don’t want Akane cooking tonight you’ll shut up,” Nabiki was putting her foot down this was opportunity of a life time.
“Hey my cooking is not that bad,” Akane said as she tried to follow her into the cab. That was until her held her hand to her face to stop her from entering.
“Your not coming either Akane,”
“I have to punish that baka for being with those hussies,” Akane said in self righteous anger.
“This a serious meeting not a one of your self righteous crusades. Now go away or I’ll show pictures of you and mousse banging each other, at the restaurant, the other day.” Nabiki made her threat clear very clear to her sister.
This made Akane back down she did not want that little secret to come out. Imagine what it could have done to poor Moose-chan’s reputation. He deserves more than that. Hell he deserves more than Shampoo, if only he could see there was someone better.
While Akane fondly remembers her time with Mousse, Nabiki hands her taxi driver the designated address before nuts try to follow her.
