"Good Pikachu, good Pikachu!" Akane was happy. Her new pet was cute, could detect and zap perverts, and as he was an android likely had other skills he could bring to bear.
"Pika!" squealed Pikachu, pleased that his new owner was pleased.
"I agree," said Makoto to Pikachu.
"So, sugar, you can understand that...?" Ukyo made an uncertain gesture towards Akane's pet.
"Pikachu," helpfully supplied the critter.
"Yes, of course." Makoto smiled at the little android. "Pikachu is modelled after a species of pet monster utilized on another world. He's a faithful technorganic representation of the same creature. Just a little smarter, stronger, and such. He has an internal fusion generator and can generate voltages of up to 12 Megawatts, though the more voltage he's pumping out the longer to recharge and the shorter the duration of the blast."
"Hmmm," said Ranma to his wolf. "Can you do that?"
"No," admitted the wolf. "I don't have electrical generators."
"I do, but I have to be in Jupiter mode to use them," put in Makoto.
"PIKA!"
"That's my sister Kasumi," Akane identified to her pet. "Kasumi! What are you doing?"
"I just have to drop off this letter," said Kasumi. "My, what a cute... whatever that is."
"PIKA PIKA!" Pikachu announced as he pointed at a tree. "PIKACHU!" Zaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappppp!
A somewhat charcoaled shape dropped out of the tree to land in some bushes.
"GOOD Pikachu!" Akane praised her pudgy yellow rat. "Someone was stalking Kasumi? Well, you sure showed them!"
"Pika!" Pikachu nodded. He understood his duties now.
Kasumi dropped the letter in the mailbox. "So how was your visit to Cyberdyne?"
"Very interesting," admitted Ranma. "Oh wow. Talk about timing, Kasumi."
The mailman tipped his hat at the group before unloading the mailbox and driving off.
"I knew he came by at this time," admitted Kasumi. "I wanted to get Nabiki's paperwork off today."
"You left Hotaru alone with Nabiki?!" Akane looked alarmed. "Who knows what perverted things she might be doing to that poor girl. Err. Android."
"Actually 'girl' is perfectly acceptable," put in Makoto. "We're very close to our human originals you know."
"I see," said Kasumi. "Ranma, I must thank you for your birthday present. Hotaru is being a big help around the house."
"Great," said Ranma as the group walked on. He had done something right. This was cool!
After a few minutes, a twitching and still slightly charcoaled Nabiki rose from the bushes. "Okay. That was a minor setback. All I need to do is go in and get that envelope."
The lock was secure and the mailbox closed, but Nabiki knew she had to get the envelope before it went off to that Marine Drill Sergeant Hell Camp. Or boarding school. Depended on who you talked to.
Checking to make sure that no one was watching (and quite unaware that while she was unconscious that the mail had been picked up), Nabiki opened the door and reached within. Nothing. Frowning she went to tiptoe and stretched as far as she could. Still nothing. Frowning and vowing that Ranma would pay for this, Nabiki squeezed herself into the dark hole and began inching in as she tried to find the elusive letter.
A small white car pulled up to the curb just as Nabiki was in past her waist.
"Do you see that Miyuki?"
"I see it, Natsumi." The policewoman in question started snapping pictures for evidence.
Natsumi tapped the girl on the leg. Once. Twice. Thrice.
"Go away. I'm busy here."
Miyuki raised an eyebrow. Natsumi saw her raise and matched it. Poke poke.
"Go away!"
"Miss? Do you know who we are?" Natsumi Sujimoto asked the pair of legs.
"If you know what's good for you, you'll go away. If you want naked pictures of Akane or Ranma, I'll sell them to you later."
"When we were given the assignment of covering for some local officers out with the flu, I had no idea that things were so bad over here." Miyuki Kobayakawa frowned slightly as she began writing things down. "Criminals are so bad over here that they scrounge mailboxes and admit to peddling pornography to anyone passing by."
Nabiki began extricating herself from the mailbox. "I said, go awa..." Two girls. Uniforms. Patrol car. Uh oh. "Uhm. There's a very good explanation for this."
"I'm sure there is," agreed Sujimoto. "Thought of it yet?"
"Errr," said Nabiki. "Well, it's really funny how this happened."
"Why not save it for the judge," suggested Kobayakawa.
