The young man slumped over his desk with his face in a 
pile of history notes suddenly sat up.  He was sure he had 
heard a noise behind him.  Groping around the desk, he found a 
pair of gold-rimmed glasses and settled them back onto his 
face, glancing around.  "That's odd," he remarked to himself.  
"I really thought I heard someone here."  He turned back to 
his history notes, shuffling papers around in an effort to 
find where he had buried the book he was supposed to be 
studying.  He had just rediscovered an early draft of a fanfic 
he'd forgotten about when he stopped again.  This time, he was 
positive he had heard a laugh behind him.
        He turned around, and this time he spotted the figure 
leaning against his wall in a shadowed corner.  "Who are 
you?" he asked.  The figure merely laughed again.  "Hey, I 
don't know what you're doing in here, but if you don't 
explain, I'll call the cops..." He broke off as the figure 
stepped forward into the light, and the red silk shirt and 
unruly black hair bound back into a braid became visible.
        Ranma smiled, perhaps a little maliciously.  "Hello, 
Biles.  It's been a while since you last tried to take control 
of my life through one of those stories of yours..."  Biles,
back at the desk, got a somewhat nervous look on his face as 
he tried to figure out a) what Ranma was doing in his room, 
and b) what he might want.  Ranma noticed Biles' expression, 
and smiled again.  "Well, it would seem the tables have 
turned.  This time, it's OUR turn."  He gestured, and a 
glowing portal appeared.  Biles found himself being pulled 
towards it.  Through the portal, he could see the Tendo Dojo 
far below.  Around the time he felt himself finally pulled 
through the portal, Ranma remarked, "Oh, and don't 
worry...you'll have plenty of company..."
        As he fell through the portal, dropping towards the 
Tendo Dojo far below, Biles closed his eyes and hoped for the 
best, wondering what Ranma's ominous last remark could mean...
