	Remember that Challenge about the poor pigeons Ryo Hoshi issued? 
	I decided to write my own timeline of might-have-beens...

	Pigeon blasts.
	Ranma covered his head frantically, flared his aura to keep as many of the
'bombs' the angry birds were pelting at him out of his clothing, and
started running.
	"<COME BACK HERE YOU COWARD!>" one of the flying avians shrieked in its
own tongue, giving hot pursuit. "<YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE POTSHOTS AT US AND
GET AWAY SCOT-FREE?>"
	Ranma mumbled a nervous apology, swung into a alley, hopped into a empty
trash-can, slammed the cover home and waited for the assault to cease.
	After a few minutes, feeling it was safe enough to continue, he opened the
cover.
	Bad move.
	A whitish pile of bird shit caught him square in the face.
	Choking in disgust and holding his breath, the young aquatranssexual
pulled a handkerchief out of his pants pocket, wiped the mess off while
maintaining his blue aura (now beginning to tint red and green over a
fairly large area), and threw it to the ground, the sheer ferocity of his
battle ki burning it to dusty ashes in midair.
	"That's bloody damn it, you stupid birds," he growled. "Kasumi gave me
that handkerchief for christmas last year!" With a silent snarl, he drew
his hands back. "MOUKO TAKAHASHIBYA!"
	A majority of the birds managed to escape the blast.
	Let it never be said that Ranma was a sharp-shooter, particularly with his
ki-blasts. Let it also be noted that pigeons have brains considerably
smaller than a certain member of the homo sapiens species, who was
currently shooting off wild shots at them.
	Quite a few passerbys stopped for a second look. One in particular was a
black-haired little girl with a black silk bandanna tied around her forehead. 
	"What's going on, kid?" a man asked the girl. "He looks like he's blasting
the pigeons."
	"Yeah...you know, you'd be amazed at some of the attacks people use on
pigeons around here..." the girl paused.  "You'd be amazed at some of the
attacks the pigeons use, too.

End...whaddaya think of it? C&C always welcomed!
