That's a pretty interesting idea, but to fully delve into it, you'd have to remove the factor of Akane kissing him on the snout when Ranma clobbered him before any of the sleeping occurred. That's what really started him in on the crush. If you've never seen the picture of that scene, here's what happened: Akane picked him up, said something to the effect of "Poor baby," and kissed him. His eyes bugged out and then, all starry-eyed, he leaned in for a piggly-wiggly hug. Dawwwww. Benzaiten: > First Of All: In neither case would Ranma come > unglued, because he wouldn't feel like there was any > competition if Nabiki or Kasumi got a pet. I agree mostly. If somebody were to make an alternative universe fic on this, they'd have to tweak a few things. Perhaps they'd change the fiancee arrangement to Nabs-Ranma or Kasumi-Ranma. The only factor that might still play would be honor. Ryoga would still be a so-called pervert for sleeping with them and although Ranma might not get as steamed as he does with Akane, he would probably still feel protective for the others (especially Kasumi). > I don't think the perversion aspect would come into >play because she probably wouldn't have her pet sleep >in her bed. One thing is for sure: she wouldn't be >mushy enough for Ryoga to fall in love with her. Absolutely. If he tried to cuddle in, she'd knock him to the ground, drowsily grumbling "Damn hooves" or something. Ryoga would probably not even stay around that much. > The Kasumi scenario probably would not be much > different, actually.

That would be an interesting one to get into. She'd treat him sweetly, but her traditional nature might not allow her to feed him at the table or do other little things that Akane did. He would probably just think of her as a mother figure because of the age gap (though it's not a terribly large one). In truth, that would be a more healthy crush for Ryoga to have. If she found out (which she inevitably would), she wouldn't clobber him or blackmail him. She'd cover her eyes, blush a little bit, and say "Oh, dear. Ryoga-kun is P-chan. And he's naked. My, my, my." She'd probably bring him a towel, too. Actually, come to think of it, she might even be a good ally in hiding his secret. (e.g., "I'll keep an extra set of clothes here for you, Ryoga." And when Ramna comes in dripping wet carrying an unconscious piglet, she'll boil a bit more water than usual.) Getting off topic for a second, um... is anyone interested in pre-reading? I can't recall if I asked this already, so if I did, just bear with me. I wrote a little fic (my first attempt at something rather serious), and I'd like some feedback on the style, length, and characterization. Also... it's got two alternate endings; the mega-happy ending, and the somber-but-more-realistic ending. (How very Wayne's World of me. Party on, Stef.) I didn't see a rule against asking for this kind of thing, but if there is and I just missed it, feel free to give me a swift kick in the bum and I'll apoligive and withdraw the request. Thanks, and have a happy day. ^_^ ~Steffie-chan "*This*... is my BOOM-stick!"
