Ranma � Style!

By: T & I

Note: Beauty and the Beast is a classic fairy tale and doesn�t belong to us and neither does Ranma � (Though we wish they were�). Ranma and company belong to the wonderfully talented Miss Rumiko Takahashi!

On with the story! It shall be in story and script form!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

            Long ago there lived a merchant and his three lovely daughters: Kasumi Tendo, Nabiki Tendo, and the youngest daughter, Akane Tendo. They were all wealthy and all very beautiful in their own way.

            Kasumi, the eldest was a gentle and kind homemaker. No one could ever recall when she had been mad.

            Nabiki had what somebody would call �icy cold beauty�. Also, she had quite a knack to make a very well income, not counting what their father made.

            Akane, now Akane was a different story. She was a tomboy through and through, but she could still be said to be the �Beauty� of the three. She loved to read and practice martial arts in her free time and was seen as odd by the other villagers. All of them except one who fancied her, even worshipped the ground she walked on� 

[Backyard of the Tendo Household- Akane practicing martial arts]

A guy: >Approaches Akane�s back< Hello my sweet angel from the heavens above! I am Tatewaki Kuno! Age 17. Also known as the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High! As thou may have noticed, I hath bestowed you with thy wondrous gifts at school from thy greatest love to thee! It seems thou hast ignored thy request of thy lov�

Akane: >Replies steely< Upperclassman Kuno is it?

Kuno: Yes my fair Akane Tendo?

Akane: >Turns around and puts on apologetic look< Look. I am very sorry. But I don�t love you. So if you could please stop sending presents to me at school and calling me your love I�d really apprecia�

Kuno: Which vile cur has cast his sorcerer ways onto your fine eyes to make you forgot out beauteous love that hath blossomed?!

Akane: >Becoming annoyed< NOBODY has cast a spell on me to blind me of a love that NEVER happened!

Kuno: See? They are feeding you lies! Let me remind you then! Our love was so pure it was blinding! It was even purer than�!

[Akane boots him xD] 

Only a few villages away from where the Tendo�s lived, there was a forest. A forest said to be enchanted. And in that forest there was said to be a castle, an enchanted castle. Well there was a story that formed many years ago� and was just said to be a legend now. It goes like this�

There was said to be a prince who was very arrogant about being the best martial artist in the world. So he held a contest inviting all the best fighters to join his competition. The winner would be known around the world as the strongest.

The last two fighters were the prince, and an old shriveled lady with a gnarled walking stick. Despite her looks, this lady was very powerful. She was not to be underestimated, but this was not acknowledged by many. Their battle dragged on and on for many hours. Until finally, there was a winner. The prince came out victorious after the long battle. His opponent was pissed that she was beaten, it was her first defeat in 500 (or so� who�s counting?) years. So she cast a spell on all of the fighters there. She turned the prince�s father into a large panda. She turned one man into a little black piglet and turned another man into a duck. One girl with purple hair got turned into a lavender cat. The others she turned into inanimate house objects (but were still animate for some reason), but she missed a girl, unbeknownst to her. She saved her best trick for last. Turned toward the prince she replied:

 [Everyone else is in utter confusion and running around in circles]

Lady: Well little prince. It seems you have bested me in the arts�

The prince: Yup! It�s a manly sport to do, and I�ve proved that I�m the manliest of all.

Lady: So� Your manhood means much to you� Well then, I have the perfect gift to give to you� >cackles<

[A rain cloud appears and rains on the prince. It disappears as soon as it came.]

The prince: >Now a very� healthy red-headed female< What the hell?! What�d you do to me you old fart?!

Lady: >Waves dried up finger while saying< Ah ah ah! Young one you should not speak to those who are older in such a manner!

The prince: >Trying to keep his� er �her temper under check< Who the hell are you?

Lady: >Cackling< I am someone you will never forget� Remember this name boy� Cologne. >smirks< Well� Ta- ta!

[Starts hopping away on gnarled stick <Sound effects: Boinga Boinga Boinga�>]

[Suddenly, everyone started to chase her screaming things like:]

Black Piglet: HEY COME BACK HERE!

White Duck: We NEED you to BREAK THE CURSE!

The Prince- er- Princess: Wait! How DO you break the curse?!

Lavender Cat: What WE do to stupid old lady who not kind put curse on us?

Random Couch: YEAH! ... Hmmm� I can understand them all� WHOA! I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU ALL!!!

Cologne: >Turns around< Do all of you youngsters really want to know how to break this curse?

The Prince and the others: >Stops chasing for a moment to nod and listen to her<

Cologne: Very well. Since I�m so kind I shall tell you and give you some type of hope. There is only one way to break this curse. And that is for the prince to fall in love with a young maiden. She, in turn, must also love the prince equally. Then, and only then, will the curse we lifted! It�s simple! >Cackle, cackle<

The Prince and the others: NANI?!

Cologne: >Cackling all the while and being amused by their looks�< (a/n: She�s crazy isn�t she?) Yes� Yes� And that should be quite an amusing feat to accomplish since you�re so conceited and arrogant! Oh, and the fact that you�re a girl doesn�t help either! Most girls find it hard to fall in love with another girl� unless their lesbian� but then the curse won�t accept that� So� >Cackles� louder this time<

The Prince and the others: >Melodramatically says:< OOOOOH!!!!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!!

Cologne: OH! And one more thing, there are some twists and turns to the curse that you�ll like� and some� you won�t. >Cackle here� cackle there� cackle cackle everywhere� oh and a boinga boinga boinga<

[She leaves the forest�s premises]

Mob of angry� things: WAIT A MINUTE! GET BACK HERE!

[They start chasing again� chase chase� trample trample� chase chase� BAM!]

Mob: WTF?! (a/n: A bunch of potty mouths aren�t they?)

Cologne: Oh yea� and that�s a twist you probably won�t like so much� uh� HAVE FUN! > Boinga boinga boinga<

The Prince/ss: WHY CAN�T I LEAVE THIS FRICKIN� FOREST?! >Punches invisible force field a couple times then gives up and turns to gave the mob of inanimate but animate objects<

Mob: Well� Since we can�t leave and you put this CURSE on us all� I guess we�re gonna be staying here with you right? Right?! RIGHT?! >With each �Right� comes a harder elbow nudge<

Mob + Prince: >Pauses and reflects<

Prince: Hey! Whaddya mean I put the curse on all of you� Oh wait� Nevermind� ^^�

Mob: >Realization hitting them< Hey� YEA! YOU put this curse on US! It�s YOUR fault! >Starts chasing Prince<

 Meanwhile�

Paul the Couch: >Holding a pitchfork< Come on Gary! Let�s get the Prince! >Charges and suddenly drops Gary< Gary? GARY?! GARY WHERE ARE YOU?!

At the same time�

The White Duck with Many Hidden Weapons: >Takes out a pitchfork< CHAAARGE! >Drops the pitchfork< Uh� >Feels around while others run around him chasing the Prince> Ah ha! >Picks up Gary and starts running<

And now back to Paul�

Paul: >Picks up the duck�s dropped pitchfork< Um� Gary? Are you Gary? >No response< That�s ok� Take your time�

*Sigh* And back to the duck...

Duck: YEOWCH!
