Ryoga, shocked, tittered slightly before falling over.
Genma suddenly vanished, praying to god no one detected his 'Cling to the ceiling and hope no one looks up technique.'
Soun, made of sterner stuff then the aging Patriarch of the Saotome clan, remained right were he was. The fact he suddenly was wearing a blindfold mattered little.
Ranma winced with each horrible word leaving Akane's potty mouth. He just knew she would be upset about this. Who wouldn't?
Nodoka felt he grip over Ranma lessen as shock overcame her features. Oh dear, Akane certainly wasn't acting very lady like.
Alex startled slightly, eyes widening in apprehension when the woman jumped to her feet, only to be replace by confusion as she stalked out of the room, returning a few moments later with a checkbook in hand.
Akane scribbled something on the check, before ripping it out and thrusting it angrily at Ranma, who was still recovering from Nodoka's cradle of hell technique, "Baka! Here! Take it! You better not complain about it being a check! Who the heck carries this much cash on them?!"
Ranma chuckled nervously, taking the check. "Well, y'know, I wasn't even been serious about this.."
Akane growled dangerously, "Well I was!"
Nodoka stared at both of the children in shock, "What.. what's going on?"
Akane sighed, slumping back down by the table, "Made a bet with that Baka years ago. First one of his to get a real fiancée wins five million yen." she snorted, "Gee, guess who won?"
Alex blinked in shock. Five million yen?!? Just like that? Oh dear.... she then growled dangerously, "RANMA! Just how many bets did you make like this?!?"
Ranma eeped, clinging to the roof next to Genma, who had yet to come down. "Ah... hehe.. just two more! Honestly!"
"Just two? JUST TWO?!? Did you really propose to me because you loved me, or was it just to win some stupid bet!?" Alex snapped bitterly, looking hurt.
"Ah hell no!" Ranma snapped back, dropping from his perch, "Kinda stupid idea is that? I asked yah because I love you, you crazy chick!"
Ryoga crawled under the table. It appeared Ranma still couldn't keep his mouth shut, and it would be safer under there.
Soun suddenly pulled his samurai helmet from nowhere, strapping it on but otherwise remaining where he was.
Alex growled dangerously, "Really?! Sure don't seem like it, ass!" despite her angry visage, the tears threatening to break from her eyes were enough for anyone to realize she was actually hurt by fact there were bets placed on her like this.
Ranma sighed, cursing softly. Damn it, it must be some new kind of record, screwing up a relationship four years before it even started! "Cassandra. I love you. If you asked me to I'd give all the cash back and act like it never happened." his tone left little room for error.
Alex glared some more, before saying softly, "Really?"
Ranma nodded, showing Alex the check, "Just give me the word, and I'll tear it up."
Akane looked suddenly very hopeful.
Alex smirked, lunging and tackling Ranma in a hug, kissing him fiercely.
"Uh.. so.. do you want him to tear it up?" Akane asked hopefully.
Alex blinked, pulling back and staring at Akane before saying.. "What? Are you crazy?!? Five million Yen is five million yen
Akane pouted, "That's not very nice."

Tofu stared at his patient. "A phoenix?"
Penny blinked. "Eh, no doctor. She's a harpy."
Tofu nodded slowly, before snapping his fingers and smiling brightly, "Ah! That's even better! Don't worry any Ms. Pinser, I can deal with harpies lickety split!" he said, tapping severely pressure points across the bird-woman's body.
Ace snorted, "Get alot of em, do yah?"
Tofu spared the man a glance, before asking in a sarcastic tone, "First time to Nerima, isn't it?"
Penny smirked, giving Ace an amused glance, "Yes, yes it is."
Tofu chuckled, "Obviously." he then became serious, "Tell me. Which creature would you consider harder to treat. A Harpy, who at least appears to have similarities to a normal human, or a Yeti-Riding-Ox-While-Carrying-Eel-and-Crane with a side of Octopus mixed in?"
"Uh.. G.. don't even kid with that stuff. Somethin like that can't exist!" Ace chuckled nervously. At least, he hoped he didn't.
Tofu smiled suddenly, pulling a folder off the shelf before handing it to Penny and Ace, "Here. Theres a picture if you want proof."
Penny turned very very green.
