Here is a concept fic in the Ranmaverse, although it might be
possible to fit it in some other universe. I highly doubt it.
(There's a challenge of sorts to it, I guess.) I want you guys
to fine comb this short to the manga continuity... please!
*****
(Sounds of rumbling, rolling, and a mass falling on the ground.
A small oof. Sounds of someone standing up, maybe the person
who fell. This person brushes off his/herself. Silence for a
few seconds.)
Ryoga: WHERE AM I NOW?!
Akane: Ryoga? Is that you?
Ryoga: A-A-Akane? Wh-what are you doing here?
Ranma: Oh, geez. Of all the people to drop by, it had to be
Ryoga.
Ryoga: RANMA?!
(The sound of someone quickly turning in place.)
You-you lech! What have you done to Akane?
Ranma: I ain't doin' nuthin'! Besides, who'd want to be alone in
the dark with an uncute -
Akane: How dare you call me -
Ryoga: RANMA, HOW DARE YOU CALL AKANE THAT?!
Akane: Uh, Ryoga...
Ryoga: You call her stupid names, you mistreat her... HOW COULD
YOU EVEN CALL HER YOUR FIANCEE?!
Akane: Ryoga, really... it -
Ranma: Hey! It wasn't MY idea! Our parents forced us into it!
Ryoga: You can't even life up to your PROMISES?
(A battle aura begins to glow.)
Saotome, Take resp - !
Akane: STOP IT, RYOGA!
(Shocked silence. Battle aura leaves a faint afterglow imprint of
Ryoga's form.)
Akane: Just... just stay calm.
Ranma: What's wrong?
Ryoga: Akane?
Akane: Don't... aura... just... calm down.
Ryoga: What is it, Akane?
Akane: It's just that, I'm naked.
Ranma: WHAT?!
Ryoga: RANMA SAOTOME! You... YOU...!
Ranma: What? I didn't do nuthin' to Akane!
Ryoga: You DENY your being alone in the dark with Akane NAKED?!
YOU PERVERT!
Ranma: I DON'T take advantage of GIRLS, PIG-BOY!
Ryoga: DIE, RANMA!
Akane: STOP IT, THE BOTH OF YOU!
(The sound of someone's footing crumbling underfoot. A female
scream, followed by the heavy thump of mass meeting ground.)
Ranma and Ryoga: AKANE!
Ryoga: DON'T MOVE!
(A slight moan, female.)
Akane (pained): I'm... I'm all right. I... I just lost my
footing.
Ranma: Damn!
Ryoga: Don't move, Ranma. There's no telling where the ground
is.
Ranma: We could feel our way...
Akane (less pained): Look... just, just stay there...
Ranma: Why?
Akane: 'Cause I don't want you groping me, you pervert!
Ranma: What did you call me?
Akane: You, you...
Ranma: You...
(A long pause.)
Ryoga (whispered): Where are we?
[To be continued...]
*****
Talk about your plot devices! I figure that the "dark locked room"
scenario has been used sometime, but the dynamics above were at-ends
enough so that ANYTHING could come out of it. It's unique enough a
scenario that no other three characters in a single anime or manga
could have as stable and explosive a situation. (Not one with just
three people, I think.) All this, and mostly by dialogue, too!
I'll show what I mean by "anything" in the next part.
So... what do you think? Again, your call WILL count!
