"Anyone got any ideas on how to let him now that he's Serenity's who knows how many times great-grandkid?" Mars asked in a whisper.
"I have a better one," Neptune put in, "Would he believe us?"
Saturn frowned. "He's done that so far..."
"Yes, but what can we tell him?"
"Well, we have to tell him something," Deedlit murmured, "We have to stay with him."
"Hmmm..," went Mercury.
"You have an idea?"
"Perhaps... Ranma? I don't think that you realise one simple problem that we have."
The pigtailed boy blinked. "What is that?"
"We've been sleeping for so long that the world has changed around us. If we started just wandering around searching for our enemies, we'd get lost and into trouble before we even found one of them. Simply put, we need a guide."
"You do?"
"Yes, and it can't be any one of us. We need someone who is native to this time, and knows what's what. That person would have to tell us what to do, so it would have to be someone that we can trust."
"That's right!" cheered Venus, "And we just met you. So many of us are gone... We can't loose a new friend when we've just met you."

"I guess..."
"Please?" pleaded Moon, Saturn, Venus and Jupiter, all four of them using the most dreaded of cute girl attacks, the 'cute puppydog look'.
The onslaught of entreating gazes worked completely and utterly. "Okay! Okay! You can come!"
"Yay!"
"I just hope Pop'll understand..."
"Don't worry," Venus told him as she and Saturn took his arms, "We'll make sure he does."
On his other side, the first of the awakened nodded resolutely, "You are being too nice for us not to do it for you."
"So let's go already," Uranus declared.
"Uhmm... okay," Ranma replied, and pointed, "I came in this way..."
