Turning to Gothwrain, Soun asked, "What is it father?"
"Do you mean to tell me that the CAT there," Gothwrain pointed to Ranma, "Is Ranma Saotome, and the boy you engaged MY granddaughter to?" Gothwrain asked, his voice started to become stressed with anger.
"Why yes." Soun said. "Though I am surprised he is a cheetah-man."
"Werecheetah!" Nodoka corrected.
Genma then decided to chip in his two cents, (and make things worse than they were becoming). "Yes, though my son is a wares cheetah-"
"WERECHEETAH!" Nodoka corrected her husband.
"Right," Genma said, "Though my son were a cheetah-"
Nodoka rolled her eyes.
"-He is still a very good martial artist and his blood would probably strengthen the Tendo line." Genma said.
Soun chimed in. "Yes, and besides, it is a matter of honor that must be fulfilled. We made the pledge before our children were born and..."
Gothwrain slammed his hands down on the table as he stared Soun and Genma down, making the Tendo and Saotome Patriarchs flinch. "ARE YOU FOOLS!? I RREFUSE TO ALLOW FOR SUCH AN ENGAGEMENT TO HOLD UP!"
Akane blinked. She would never have admitted to it, but with her grandfather so strongly against it, she knew she had to persuade him to allow her to marry Ranma. "But why grandpa? I mean, sure he's a stupid, thoughtless, uncaring baka, but he's a... A... A decent guy."
Ranma's eye twitched. "Thanks for the shining display of love..." Ranma said sarcastically.
Gothwrain shook his head at Akane. "No."
"WHY NOT!?" Akane asked, starting to feel desperate.
"Please father, you must reconsider!" Soun said. "The Schools must be joined!"
Genma joined in. "Yes, it is a matter of honor that the Schools of Anything Goes be united!"
"So, my honor goes down the toilet?" Theo asks, his arms folded across his chest while he taps his foot.
Genma and Soun took a look at Theo, and then took a REAL look at Theo, wondering where they had seen the man before. Then what Gothwrain had called the man earlier, it made sense. "THEODORE DIGGERS!?"
"Glad you remember me..." Theo said, albeit sarcastically. "And do you remember our pledge, Genma?"
It was then Genma paled.
Meanwhile, while all this was going on, Brianna wondered what would be a good weapon to use on Gothwrain...
Many Voices: "You KNEW?!"
"Oh my, yes."
