The characters of Ranma 1/2 are the property of Rumiko Takahashi and are being used with out permission…Any similarities to this spoof and a similarly titled story is merely coincidental and is not my problem.

No animals were harmed in the making of this spoof… :p

Once more, the Evil Narrator sat at his console to test the limits of reality.

Stretching out before him was a magnificent savanna of lush golden grass. Animals were approaching a large outcropping of rock. Intermixed amongst these wild beasts were, oddly enough, a panda, a small black pig, a purple-pink housecat and a duck wearing spectacles. All of these animals gathered below the rock with a powerful orchestral score playing in the background.

As this Academy Award winning music played, a baboon climbed up the outcropping with the aid of a staff, similar to those carried by monks. (No pun intended here…sorry) He was about halfway to the top when a disturbance disrupted the solemn occasion.

Ranma came charging out of the cave wearing furs. His eyes were wide and all he could think of was escape…

"Cats…CATS…CATS…CATS… CATS!!!!!"

From behind, Akane clocked Ranma with a mallet and dragged the unconscious youth from the scene. As Akane pulled the unconscious Ranma away, the panda held up a sign the read, 'Oh well, it was just a rip off of Kimba in the first place.' The duck and the cat nodded sagely, as the pig replied, "Bwee!"

THE END
Thanks, Akane. I guess we'll call this one a wrap, sorry everyone.

As the herd and cast began to disperse, some in search of hot water, the Narrator turned on his staff.

Okay, now just WHO thought this would be a good idea again?

"But, sir, you approved of the whole thing…Ahhhhhh!"

Ah, Washu gets to start early today. So fess up, whose idea was this?

A bookish man stepped forward, "Well, sir, our numbers show that the combination of Anime and Disney animation would be awfully hard to turn away and…Ahhhhhhhh!" He disappeared down a dimensional hole. Washu had a new victim.

That's for mentioning the 'D' word. Anybody else? No? Fine, Ryoko, send in the next vict…er I mean writer.

A fellow wearing shades and just stunk of Hollywood stepped up. "Hi there, here's my idea. This Ranma would make a superb Rum Tum Tugger."

Hmmm, Rum Tum Tummer… that sounds familiar. What show is that from?

"Why, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats. So what do you think?"

<sigh> Ryoko, tell Washu to expect a few more Guinea Pigs today.

To all our valued readers:

Yes, I know you are waiting patiently for more of Ranma: Motherhood, but this idea came on us and so we wrote it in the car. We will have the next section out as quickly as possible so please bear with us. -Thanks-
