It seemed that after Stripe had gone with Genn to go fix lunch, knowing how worrying always made his wife hungry and neither was good for their baby, the other two Diggers had shown up and made Dao spill the big secret.
Gar and the rest of Juila's students and also come in along with Seance and heard the truth. Like the rest of the family they had just shrugged off the fact that Ranma was here thanks to magic.
Now, all they could really do was wait while Gina hacked-err looked in on the Japanese government’s records and got an address for this Nabiki Tendo, their only real lead to Ranma.
Luan, Carla, and Gar had gone back to the dojo to work out a little and hopefully let the time pass quicker, while Genn and Seance had gone off on their own as well, probably for the same reason...if in different ways.
"I still don't see what the big deal is," Brittany said after swallowing a bite of her tuna sub. "So some freaky magic screwed with the timeline and gave us Ranma instead of some family halfway around the world. Their loss." Although, Brit still didn't quite get that whole 'other person that used to be Ranma' thing that Dao went on about. Did that mean there were two of him or something, but one was a girl?
"Actually it's considerably...more complicated than that," Dao replied.
"Hey wait a second I just thought of something," Brianna suddenly said on top of Dao and making everyone else in the room look at her. "Oh, uh sorry for butting in Dao but, you remember the timeline without Ranma, right?"
"Well yeah, up onto the point where they fused that is, then it's just one timeline," he replied, deciding to leave out just WHEN that happened. Which was less than 2 hours and thirty minutes ago by his count.
"So...what's different?" Brianna asked.
"Actually, I'm a little curious to that as well," Theo said after setting down the book he had been reading. He could personally think of at least a dozen incidents that would have most certainly gone worse for his daughters if Ranma wasn't around, and there was a slight chill up his spine that a near death situation in the past would have been an actual encounter with the grim reaper.
"Well, I'm not exactly very acquainted with your past, so I couldn't just pick out minor details, or even get a brief overview like I did with Ranma's previous life but-"
"Oh just spill it already," Julia demanded.
"Ok well, apart from some minor decor changes and possibly some slight alterations in people love lives as well as high school moments, as a whole you're lives would be..." Everyone in the room turned towards the man, some literally on the edge of their seats. "...completely the same."
Down in her lab Gina looked up as she heard a rather loud crash coming from above, then continued on with her work.
