INTRODUCTION VERSION 1
An OMG (Oh My God ?) / Ranma1/2 FanFic
by
Brett Handy
Kasumi hummed as she chopped up the vegetables for
dinner, "Oh.. I hope I got enough for everyone", she thought
suddenly to herself. It had been exactly a year since Ranma
and his father had arrived from China, and her father had
decided to celebrate the 'happy' day that Ranma and Akane had
become engaged.
She finished the preperations quickly and left the meal
to simmer for a while, the place still needed a good clean
with the number of guests that were arriving. Everyone else
had thought that it would make problems, inviting Shampoo and
Ukyou, not to mention inviting Kuno and Kodachi. But she had
been making out the invitations, it had seemed like the fair
thing to do.
Kasumi smiled secretively, "Maybe this will finally force
Ranma into choosing *one* Fiancee", she said under her breath.
Yes, it had taken Kasumi quite a bit of planning to pull this
off, she had kept quite about whom she had invited until this
morning, now it was too late to change anything, or call it
off. "Nothing can spoil this now", she thought to herself,
and then she began setting the extra-long table in the Dojo.

Unfortunately for Kasumi, she was wrong, there was one
thing that could ruin *any* feast. "What have you done?",
Kasumi exclaimed, looking at the remains of her kitchen.
Akane was standing in the middle of destruction, looking
around, "I'm sorry Kasumi-chan", she said, "I only thought
that I'd spice up the rice a little, by adding some of this".
Kasumi looked at the label, "Where did you get lighter
fluid from?", she asked, frowning.
Akane was looking at the remains of the kitchen with
dismay, "I'm so very sorry Kasumi, I'll help you re-make
everything", she promised.
A muffled gaging came from outside the kitchen window and
Kasumi paled slightly, "that's alright Akane-chan", she said,
"I'll figure out something out".
Akane left quickly, her head bowed and her expression
sorrowful. Kasumi looked around at the remains, "What am I
going to do now?", she muttered.
"Anything but let that Tomboy cook", suggested Ranma,
climbing in through the window.
Kasumi looked at him with a firm expression, "Ranma, why
didn't you try and stop Akane?", she asked.
Ranma smiled, "Are you kidding, do I look suicidal", he
said, "besides, do you think I want to sit down with Shampoo
and Kodachi for dinner?".
Kasumi frowned (something very rare indeed), "I went to
the trouble of organising this and I won't have anything ruin
it", she said, turning and stalking back out of the destroyed
kitchen.
Ranma rubbed his head sheepishly, "Maybe I carried it a
little far", he mused and then shuddered, "Never mind,
anything's better than having dinner with Kodachi". With that
he decided to go and spar with his father.

Kasumi sat down for a while, to decide the best course of
action, it was too late to call everyone and cancel, since
everyone was suppose to be here in a few minutes (and besides
she wanted everyone to get together and talk things out).
{Author's note: Sometimes everyone is a *little* niave, but
with Kasumi, its her greatest talent}
Her eyes bored into the small clock in the living room,
it was ticking away down to 'zero hour' and there was nothing
that she could think of that could help.
"Hey Kasumi?", called Nabiki, walking into the room,
"Everyone will be here soon, where's dinner?".
Kasumi began to dispair and she covered her eyes,
starting to cry, "Nabiki-chan.. nothing's gone right..
dinner's ruined", she sobbed quietly.
Nabiki realised that it was *very* unusual to see Kasumi
so shaken, so she sat down beside her sister, "Come on Sis",
she said, "I'm sure we'll working something out".
Kasumi looked up hopefully, "No charge", Nabiki added
with a smile.
Kasumi also began to smile and then her expression
changed to one of confusion, "Nabiki-chan?", she asked, "Did
father get a back-lit clock today?", she pointed at the
glowing clock on the wall.
Nabiki frowned, "Not that I know of", she said, "I wonder
how they do that?".
Suddenly there was a bright flash of light and a slight
thump, as another person joined them in the room. "What
the....", exclaimed Nabiki, jumping behind the couch.
Kasumi just stared as the figure shook its head slightly
and looked around. The figure was wearing a shimmering blue
shirt and pants, that seemed to rustle and move, even though
there was no wind present. He was very tall and while the
clothing hid most of his body, Kasumi could tell that he was a
strong-looking guy.
He looked around the room with dark brown eyes that
looked out from under black hair. Upon spotting Kasumi he
smiled and walked forward, "excuse me?", he asked politely,
"Would this be the Tendo residence?".
Kasumi nodded weakly, "Good", the strange fellow replied,
"Is Kasumi Tendo available to talk to?".
Nabiki had crawled out of the room by this time and was
running towards the Dojo to get help. Kasumi nodded, "I'm
Kasumi", she said.
The fellow smiled broadly, "Good, that means I can get on
with it", he said.
Kasumi looked at him apprehensively, "Oh, don't be
afraid", he said, noting her confusion, "I won't hurt you".
Kasumi didn't look reassured, "Oh, right", he suddenly
said, "I didn't introduce myself".
Taking a step or two back he drew himself up to his full
height, "I am Brett, a God and I'm here to grant you a wish",
he intoned, impressively.
Kasumi looked even more confused, "Well I guess that
didn't work", Brett muttered, taking a seat opposite Kasumi,
"are you gonna say anything?".
"A god??", she asked, "Named 'Brett'?".
Brett winced, "hey that's what my parents named me", he
replied, "its not that bad a name".
Kasumi shook her head, "Your telling me that *your* a
god?", she asked, "And your here to grant me a wish?".
Brett looked around, "Is there an echo in here?", he
asked, smiling, "Yes, anything your heart desires".
Kasumi was dumbstruck, "A wish?", she exclaimed, "me?".
Brett smiled again, "Thats right", he said, "All you have
to do is...". Suddenly he broke off and looked around, then
he jumped up and grabbed Kasumi around the waist, hauling her
forwards and standing in the middle of the room.
"Excuse my rudeness", he said, blushing slightly, "But
it's safer here".
Kasumi was wondering what he was talking about when the
roof collapsed, several strange objects came in through the
windows and Ranma burst through the door. Surprisingly Kasumi
found herself and the strange man standing in the only place
that wasn't covered in collapsed ceiling.
"Ryouga, you stupid..", said Ranma.
"Watch where your throwing those things bimbo", excalimed
Ukyou.
"Who you calling 'Bimbo', foolish girl", retorted
Shampoo.
"Kasumi.. my lovely daughter.. are you alright?", wailed
Soun frantically.
<Save the food>, insisted Genma, waving his sign around.
Akane was standing slightly behind Ranma by the time the
dust settled and everyone was able to make out the figure of
Kasumi and the stranger standing unharmed in the middle of the
room. "Who the hell are you?", Ranma demanded.
