working on the 2 fics at the same time...
That's OK.
and this is more a teaser than a real prologue... 30 to 35% I think
I seed prereader for this fic too...
I 'll start by the book one... a pure ranma fanfic, but if I can end this
project, then I'll start the nexts books, each one being a Xover with a
single other anime universe... hum, I already told too much...
so here it is...

Personally, I prefer reading something like
Bla bla bla, she thought.
than like
<Bla bla bla>
and so I don't like all these extra tags so much instead of descriptive
prose. Then again, I prefer writing fanfics in a script format.

Prologue
---
Everybody is seated in the sitting room. M.Tendo has his three daughters on
his right and two mens on his left, facin the girls.
"I present you one mode... my best friend..." starts Soun Tendo.
"Genma Saotome." says the man dressed in a dirty white gi. He wae to the
young boy sitting beside him. "This is my son..."
"...Ranma." finish the boy, dressed in a pale blue sleeveless chinese shirt,
with matching black troussers and red bracers.
He and Akane look each other, one with a questionning look and the other
more suspecting.
"It's a joke, right?" Nabiki step in.
"You are... the girl from back then?" ask Kasumi, completly lost.
"Hum. How to start?" Genma asks himself. "I know! Hyah!!" He throw hos son
on the koi pond located in the middle of the Tendo garden.
"Hey!!" is groan Ranma while airborne. "A...Argh!.... Aaaaargh!!" he screams
just before reaching the water with a loud *SPLASH*
For a while, bubbles are noisily showing on the water, then he breaks the
surface water, splitted in pain and holding his head.
"Huh... Nyaah!... Ahh... Ahh... AAARGH!!"
For a second that seems to never end, while he bent himself backward on one
move, his head makes the impression of ripping in two, then all his chinese
shirt's studs burst at once, a flesh mass is ejected from his torso and
vanish in the pond
Ouch! This could be bloody. Is it? You might want to clarify that.
Anyway, this is a nice way of setting up an alternate-history fanfic.
Starting the fic just before the point of divergence, instead of repeating
all the stuff from the beginning of the original, is pretty cool.
"Ahh... Ahh... Pff..." He gets his breath back, taking support from his
knees, his head dangling. "It's stopped. This much pain." He raise his head
and glare a questionning look at his father and the Tendos.
"What happened?" the only response he got his a stupefied look. He finaly
register the infos his body is sending to him and he look down his bare
torso... definitly male. "I... I don't change in a girl? I... I'm cured?" he
asks when suddendly...
*BLOOSH* A young fire haired girl emerge a few feets from him.
"Ouch..." the groan. "It hurts!" She look quickly around her. "Where...
Where am I?" she take a step back... then another... and she bumps againt
Ranma.
She gently turn toward him and he gets the confirmation he feared : it's his
female self. The shock keeps him to make any sensible tought, like it maight
be the case for his father and the Tendos, none of them having told a word
yet.
She hold a finger out slowly toward Ranma while lightly backing of,
trembling. "You... you are... impopss... I..." like any other present
person, all rationnal thinking seems to leave her. nonetheless, the fact
that she identify Ranma is undeniable.
"Who... are you?" succes to say Ranma without muddling.
"Who I am?" she repeats. "I... I..." her look going from surprise, "I...",
to reflexion, "I...?" and then to panix.
Pobrecita.
Seeing her emotionnal state, he tempts the question that is consumming him :
"Are you me?"
"WHAT?" if the result attained is not the one looked for, the question has
the benefits to have apparently calmed her. "If I'm you? You are just before
me, how can I be you?" she answers him like he asked a supid question.
Her declaration, in addition to relax Ranma a little, restarts the thinking
machine that is Nabiki's brain.
"You are not Ranma?" she ask while coming close to the pond.
"Ranma? Ranma... RANMA! YES! It's your name!" she shout, pointing her finger
toward him again. "I know you! Ranma Saotome, heir to the Saotome scholl or
Anything Goes martial arts!"
"Y...yeah. That's me"
"If you are not him, then who are you?" ask Nabiki a second time.
The redhead tour toward Nabiki and look at her silently. "I... I don't
know!" she conceed. "I see things, memories, but they are so foreign to
me... the more I seek, the more I find events linked to the life of... of
Ranma... but I cannot remember my name... my house... my familly..."
Seems a bit too eloquent here, given the shock she's in. Or is she normally
even more so?
Slowly, her posture change, falling to depression.
"I don't know why... but I know that all these memories are Ranma's and not
mines.
"Ranma..." cut Nabiki. "Give her your shirt."
"Hu? oh..." he removes it and give it to his female self.
"Thanks..." she says him back while putting it on, suddendly awaring her
nudity.
"So, if I resume, you don't know who you are, but you are sure in not being
Ranma, even if you have the same memory than him?" Nabiki compute while
speaking, her hands on her hips.
The girl nod, her moral starting to sink anew.
"Hum... We may not be able to resolve this tonight." Nabiki looks at the
two, still waist deep in the water. "Says, you can exit the pond now. You'll
catch a cold if you don't."
they see that, yup, they had stayed on the water during all the chating.
"Sell, if you are not Ranma, and you don't remember your name, you'll have
to choose a new one until you get your own memories back. Any ideas?" pursue
Nabiki.
Ranma-chan stop immediatly where she stand, than look back to Ranma-kun.
"Ranma... Ra...n...ma... it's strange! I get the impression that... that..."
the tries to remember something. "Is there not a girl name starting like
Ranma?"
"Let me see... Ranma? Ran... Ran... There : Ranko... it the female for
Ranma." declare Nabiki.
"Ranko? I seem to have heard it before somehere..." sat 'Ranko'.
"I don't ring a bell for me..." Ranma cut het.
"Yes? Maybe your memories are already coming back..." Nabiki pause a little
then "I think that maybe this name can help you to quicken the precessus,
even maybe get some indications..."
"Ranko... yes, after all, it's just a name. Anyone will do the trick."
"I will have do to some research... hey, it'll be a real challenge..." Nabik
i song-song while returning to the house, followed by the others two.

okay, that's all for tonight... If I wanted to finish this tonight, I might
have as much spelling and gramar horor than yesterday's post...
Hmm...you're posting from a .fr email address...my guess is that you're
probably not a native speaker of English. So I can't say how horrible your
spelling and grammar is, because I don't know how long you've been studying
the language.
Anyway, this one has potential. Keep writing!
