Hello again, sorry I didn't post Mechwarrior Team Jusenkyo Ch.1 this
weekend, but I had to go out of town Sunday and Monday.  

        Anyway, I caught the new Careful Destiny Part 3 and... I *love* the
effect of it, but, well...

        O.K., so you're trying to tell me that this...Kinuko... is pregnant
with Ranma's child, right?  This just may be my inquisitive nature talking,
but somehow I don't think so.  And (through some small miracle of nature!)
my brother agrees with me.  I assume that it could be possible, but it's
kind of unlikely.

        Last night my brother and I read over the story and came up with
some interesting possiblities:

        1) If Kinuko *is* pregnant, we rather doubt that Ranko would have
forgotten to tell Ranma that when he first met Kinuko.
        2) The other Ranma seemed to be mad at Kinuko for something that she
did a month earlier, and, as far as we can tell, Ranma told Ranko that
Kinuko was pregnant about a week *after* they broke up.  Now, personally, I
only know of a couple people who would try and bail out of a relationship if
something like that would happen.  Mike also said that no matter how much of
a jerk the other Ranma was, it would be kind of doubtful that he'd break up
with her and that it was more likely that he'd take responsibility.
        3) Kinuko could have told Ranma that she was pregnant just to get
back at him for dumping her.
        4) There is the possiblity that Kinuko could have had an abortion or
something because of her absence from school.  But she did say that was for
a band trip.
        5) The other Ranma may have just been acting when he told Ranko that
(I have doubts on this theory though.^_^) Kinuko was pregnant.
        6) Gossip seems to spread fast and Furinkan High, no matter how well
a secret is kept, so both Mike and I find it hard to believe that no one
would be talking about Kinuko and Ranma if the pregnancy was real.
        7) The final (as far as we can tell) possiblity is that Kinuko was
really pissed at Ranma for some reason or another, so she told him she was
pregnant.  Ranma found out it was a lie and that's why he dumped her.

        Well, that's the combined detective work of Mike and I (the first
thing we've actually agreed on in months!)  

        In closing, we would both like to say, "HURRY UP WITH THE NEXT
EPISODE; WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENTS!!!!!!!! AND KEEP UP THE GOOD
WORK!!!!!!!^_^"
