The park was normally a very serene place, cherry trees, grass, and the occasional flower. Sure, the park had been the subject of many a battle, but through it all this park was a serene refuge for the people of Nerima. Only today, it had a werecat in it.
"Well now, this is different," Shiela spoke with a giggle, considering that it was human in her lap managing to purr. "Well, at least I know for a fact that I am on the Earth realm, but what was with that Panda," she mused further as she stroked the purring human.
Lost in thought, Shiela almost didn't hear the battle cry, "Ranma! YOU HENTAI!"
Blink-blinking at the screech, she looked up to see a raven haired girl glaring at her. "No," she thought, "not me, but this guy." She knew the look well, that was the look she levied upon that lecher Tigra.

Dr. Diggers was doing his best to remain calm, "So, have you seen a redhead girl or not?"
Konatsu was getting a bit frustrated himself, was this guy as dense as Kuno? "Look," he tried again, "Ranma is a guy. He's really not a girl."
Theo had phrase his question differently, "No, this redhead is a girl all the time."
Gina picked the wrong time to interject, "Well, she could be in her other form, ya' know?"
Konatsu gave up, "It doesn't matter if you're looking for Ranma or not, if it's weird--it's happening around him. Just go to the Tendo Dojo." With that, Konatsu stormed off, "Who would have thought there would be a whole new gaggle of Kunos?" As he made his way into the distance, he had an epiphany, "That's why Nabiki charges so much for information!"
Dr. Theo Diggers was fuming. He was mad. This was the third person who insisted that they look for Ranma Saotome. First there was that crazy girl with the black flowers, sleep-powder, and the insistence on having them help kill that redheaded bimbo. Then, there was the shopkeeper, who was quite helpful; well, helpful until he said, "busty readhead." Finally this Konatsu guy, who thought they were stupid for not realizing that the busty redhead was really a guy.
Julia derailed his train of thought, "let's just find this Tendo dojo, dear."

"Mreow?" Ranma-neko asked, looking up from Shiela's lap.
"You two-timing JERK!" Akane was, in a word, miffed. How dare that baka lay in that cat-girls lap like that! She was not going to have any of it, and reared back to slap him out of that stupid cat-state.
"Hey?" She heard the cat-hussy ask.
Moving her glare to the other party, Akane added icily, "Forget it. If you want Ranma, you can have him." Then, with a "Hrmph," she turned sharply, and left.
Staring wide eyed at the girl leaving, she couldn't help but to notice that this guy, Ranma, suddenly had a nervous shiver, "Shh. It's okay, the bad lady is gone."
.:: ::.
If Theo was aggravated before, he was at his wits end now. After finally getting directions to the Tendo dojo, the whole town seemed to change. The kind old lady that told them where it was seemed to determine it was a good time to leave town. Then, as they got closer and closer to the address, they each noticed windows shutting, doors slamming, and some folks even entering bomb-shelters. What was with this place?
.:: ::.
Opening his eyes groggily, Ranma asked quietly, "How long was I out for?" He was sore from laying in someone's lap, and he had a bad feeling about whatever happened.
"About an hour. Can you let me up now? I think my foot went to sleep," came the reply.
Ranma blinked. He blinked again. Just then, he thrust his body into a standing position to see a... A catgirl?
"Gyaaah! It's a ca.. Ca.. Ca.. You're one of those things!" Ranma was, to put it mildly, freaking out.
Ranma tried to look away, but she seemed hurt by his accusation, with her eybrows coming closer together and her lips beginning to pout. Her features were giving the distinct appearance of a girl about to cry. This, to Ranma, was the other side of Hell.
"I'm sorry," he finally said, with his hands covering his eyes and fighting desperately not to shudder.
"You seemed happy enough to sit in my lap a minute ago. Why am I suddenly disgusting?" the girl asked.
"Neko-ken," Ranma solemnly replied, barely peeking through the cracks of his fingers. Taking a deep breath, he tried to finish his statement, "I have a phobia of, erm, felines."
"But, you... You laid in my lap?" The girl asked again.
With a small gulp, Ranma used the tried and true tactic when dealing with members of the opposite sex. He complemented her, "Well, when I get really freaked out, I become what I fear. I guess when I'm like that my fear went away enough for me to see you as a cute girl?"
"There," Ranma thought, "maybe that'll cheer her up!"
Too bad he never saw the little hearts form in her eyes...

Brianna stared at the gates to this "Tendo Dojo," and had one thought, "This place has bad karma written all over it."
