Sonic

Chapter 49
Hang Over
I don't think a prairie oyster will be enough...

"They spent all that time in dad's head and they still haven't fixed him?" asked Emily waiting on the toast to toast.

"They didn't even fix them selves," replied Jeremy snatching the Toast just as it popped out of the toaster which promptly exploded in his face leaving a crisp piece for Emily to eat.

"More fun that way though," giggled Kia looking towards the bed room, "Four is better than two."

"I resent that!" yelled Emeral coming out from the bathroom, "I'm NOT a pervert!"

"Leave it to a succubus to think of the most perverted situation," said Joe popping out of the cubby from the Bathroom, "though, there was that whipped cream incident."

"What!?" blushed Emeral before slamming Joe with a Mallet before sitting down at the table, "Any rate, how was your jog."

"A bit enjoyable, until I got lost," said Joe rubbing his head, "I wish I could navigate that thing better."

"Navigating it was rather easy until we got split," said Sonic coming out of his room with his wife Rose. The two were in their usual black body suit outfit but this time they were wearing red capes instead of red robes.

"Ummm, what's with the wardrobe change?" asked Emily as she blocked Jeremy's fork saber.

"Change?" asked the two looking at each other, "Oh, didn't notice."

"Good grief," replied Emeral taking a bite of her egg, "Looks like those two were more affected inside MM's head than we were."

"Don't suppose this happen when we stumbled over the countless number of Rose and Sonic's in MM's head," said Joe.

"What makes you think that?" replied Emeral.

"I think one set of all of them where wearing a cape instead of robes," answered Joe.

"Now that you mention it," said Sonic, "We just kind of slipped into the whole black suit, red robe deal after we discovered Lunar."

"I don't think we even noticed it for several months," replied Rose.

"What about your pink shoes," asked Sonic pointing to Joe.

"What?" asked Joe looking at his shoes.

"I think those are Emeral's Tennis shoes as Emeral is wearing Joe's," said Rose.

"So we are," replied Emeral after checking her feet.

"You two just now noticing that?" commented Emily snatching a biscuit from Jeremy and taking a bite out of it only to find it was baked Akane style.

Flying across town we find Akane and Ranma walking towards the shrine Katarina and Kalshion live. Ranma of course is walking on the fence along side with Akane.

"Stop fussing, aren't you at all worried about Wendy?" asked Akane.

"Not really," said Ranma turning a cheek.

"Honestly, your so heartless," said Akane.

"Wendy isn't that kind of person to be taken down by some silly backlash curse," said Ranma jumping down next to Akane, "but what you have in that basket may be worse."

Akane looked at the basket which had some horr...

"SHUT UP STUPID!" yelled Akane somehow throwing one of her rock hard cupcakes at the author.

"OW! That Hurt!" replied the Author wondering how the hell she pulled that off.

"What a haul, What a HAUL!" came a voice from behind as Akane started to calm down.

"The old geezer," commented Ranma as he spotted Happosai jumping up and down dashing away from the girls trying to smash him to a pancake for taking their underwear.

"Ranma, a present!" called Happosai laying a pink Panty on Ranma's head and dashing off.

"He's with that old letch!" called one of the girls as they came after Ranma like a stampede.

"It's not like that," said Ranma backing off but getting trampled, smashed and kicked by the girls.

"Not again," said Akane as the panty floated down onto her face where she promptly picked it up, "AHHH, This is mine! GRANDFATHER!"

"Lets play again sometime," called Happosai already long gone but knowing exactly what was going on.

"I'll get him for this," rumbled Ranma as the girls took off having their fill of beating up Ranma.

After a rugged trip, at least for Ranma being almost crippled from the girl trashing, Akane and Ranma made it to the Dragon Shrine. Once they walked in Ranma pulled off his usual full recovery routine and Akane put on a normal face. This was interrupted momentarily though by Happosai smashing out of one of the windows with a few bras and a silk Chinese panty. The resulting screams informed the two that the underwear belong to Katarina and Shampoo.

"Shampoo?" asked Akane as Shampoo came running out after Happosai with Katarina.

"You Filthy Man, Shampoo Punish!" she yelled pulling out her Bonbori's as Katarina came following with a bow and some arrows.

"Heavenly Retribution!" called Katarina taking a pot shot at Happosai.

"What was that all about?" asked Ranma.

"And why was Shampoo here?" asked Akane.

"Why hello there Son-in-law," said Colonge appearing out of no where, "Came to check on Wendy too?"

"Grandmother," said Akane.

"Oh, so the old ghoul is here too," said Ranma getting wicked on the head.

"Shampoo and I came here last night to keep and eye on things," said Colonge, "Things were going fine till Happy showed up and took off with the girls things."

"Seeing your here, it must be a serious matter," said Ranma.

"Not really," replied Colonge, "I just get nervous when someone of that power is unconscious."

"Nice to see you two," said Kalshion spotting Ranma and Akane coming in, "Wendy is in the next ro...wait, when did that get there?"

"When did what?" asked Akane as they looked at the entrance to the room to find a metal detector surrounding it.

"Hmmm, I don't know if this means Wendy is getting better, or this is just an act of self-protection," said Colonge.

"What do you mean," said Ranma walking into the room with no incident.

"You'll see," replied Colonge hopping into the room also.

"Still don't know how it got there, but if Ranma can get through, so can I," said Kalshion walking through.

"Wait for me," said Akane running through only to slam into an invisible barrier followed by red lights flashing everywhere and sirens that sounded like 300 Paris police cars were surrounding the house. Suddenly the words 'Akane Cooking Detected' appeared in red on the metal detector.

"What in the world?" asked Akane rubbing her head and backing away when suddenly mechanical arms popped out of the walls and slammed wooden mallets on her.

"About time she was on the receiving end of those," grinned Ranma followed by another arm popping out and slamming him with an iron mallet.

"When the hell did the Dragon Shrine move to Paris," yelled Emily walking in and hitting the 'Kill Alarm' Button next to the door.

"Since Akane tried walking in with her cooking," said Kalshion.

"Hmmm, perhaps she should do it more often," said Jeremy pulling out a piece of paper, "You get a lot of frequent flier miles when she does that."

"EH?" asked Ranma getting back on his feat.

"Your right next the damn Ifle Tower!" yelled Emily.

"WHAT!?!" yelled Akane shocking everyone that she was conscious again.

"Don't bother trying to go site seeing though," said Emeral walking in with her other half and both husbands, "those 300 police cars are blocking off the entire area. I also heard something about bio-terrorist containment being called in."

Akane got real mad at this and began to storm into another room slamming the door. This in turn creating a shock wave that sent the shrine back to its original place in Nerima and giving Jeremy another piece of paper with more frequent flier miles. Thus the group took this moment to stare into nothiness.

"That Akane sometimes scares even me," said Colonge finally breaking the silence.

"Oh that reminds me old ghoul," said Emily, "If you are so nervous when dad is unconscious, where were you during his century long nap?"

"Ummm," said Colonge trying to think of something.

"Busted," said Jeremy.

"Wait a minute, how the hell did you know she said that?" asked Ranma.

"What do you mean? Can't you hear someone from several blocks away?" grinned Emily.

"OF COURSE NOT!" yelled Ranma.

"Oh that's right, you're only full human," smirked Emily.

"Well to answer your question," responded Colonge, "This isn't by his choice."

"Dad is a he?" asked Jeremy.

"Ok, it isn't by her choice," corrected Colonge.

"Dad is a she?" asked Emily.

"WILL YOU STOP THAT," yelled Colonge starting to go nuts.

"So how is sh...erm Wendy doing," said Joe walking into the room.

"Not much improvement," replied Kalshion following Joe.

The gang soon followed into the room, that is until Emeral smashed into the barrier causing Starfleet Enterprise E Red Alert Alarms to go off. Soon the red wording 'RWCFCRU' Showed on the Metal Detector. Emeral braced herself as metal arms came out to smash her, but instead she heard several clashes. She opened her eyes to find Sonic had smashed every arm to bits.

"Thanks," said Emeral before she realized Sonic was giving her a cold look, "What?"

Before she could react, Sonic rushed up to her and slipped his hands into her pockets. Unfortunately for Sonic's image, it looked like he was slipping his hands into her pants, but we digress... Rose immediately went nuclear, mostly because she was jealous and because she was, well jealous. Just before she was about to blast Sonic out of MM's Barrier, despite it being there, Sonic pulled his hands back out revealing a small device.

"HOW DID YOU KNOW?" yelled Emeral being upset.

"I had my suspicions, the alarm confirmed it," he said before his face got real big, "WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING! I DON'T WANT TO CATCH EITHER OF YOU WITH A COMPUTER YOU GOT FROM CURSE 'R US AGAIN!"

"So that means," started Rose.

"That RWCFCRU meant 'Rose with Computer from Curse R Us?" ended Joe.

"I was just trying to see if I could help Wendy," said Emeral giving the innocent girl act.

"Oh, you would have helped her alright," said Sonic pocketing the computer, "Helped her stay unconscious for another century or two."

"Not that I want to burst anyone's bubbles, but the strain of that detector going off seems to trigger a slightly increased decline in Wendy's condition," said Colonge.

"What?" asked Sonic taking back out the device, "NANI!!!!!! THIS IS A CURSE INTENSIFIER!"

"ITS WHAT!" screamed everyone!

"QUIET, WE'RE TRYING TO SLEEP!" yelled the other half of the world that was sleeping.

"Sorry," whispered the gang.

Somewhere in the App Mountains...Again

"GET YOUR LEACHURAS BUTT BACK HERE!" yelled Katarina as she chased Happosai.

"SHAMPOO TEACH YOU!" commented Shampoo.

"Catch me if ya can," laughed Happosai as he ran into a cave before vanishing like he smacked water.

"What that?" asked Shampoo stopping tripping Katarina into the water like air of the cave causing her to disappear than the cave itself.

Later that Day at the Shrine...

"What am I going to do with her?" asked Sonic taking a gulp of his tea.

"What do you mean you, she is my wife too." said Joe drinking his tea with grace.

"Well I figure Emeral is your wife and Rose is my wife until we become whole again," said Sonic putting his tea down, "At least till we merge again which will follow one hell of a headache."

"I hate this, why did Rose have to do that stupid curse anyways splitting us up like this?" asked Joe.

"Not to mention we still will have two wives when we merge, with Dark Rose and all," said Sonic rubbing his head.

"Lets change the subject, your giving me a headache already," replied Joe.

"WILL YOU TWO LAZY IDIOTS STOP SOBBING IN SORROW AND HELP!", yelled Rose.

"WENDY IS GETTING WORSE!", added Emeral.

"So what else is new," replied Sonic looking at the window.

"Why should we bother helping when all you do is make it worse," added Joe joining Sonic in the daze of sorrow.

"I'LL GIVE YOU A REASON!" yelled Emeral and Rose smashing the two with Mallets.

"Perhaps the previous topic was better," said Joe with a cracked Mallet on his head, "The previous headache was less painful."

The two got up with the Mallets still on their heads and walked into Wendy's room where Colonge and Kalshion where trying everything in their power to fix Wendy.

"I don't suppose throwing the kitchen sink at her would help," said Sonic as a bump popped up on his head dropping the Mallet on the ground.

"We can't figure this out," said Colonge, "We've tried every healing magic in the shrine book and all the medical techniques in my 3000 years of Chinese History and NOTHING works."

"By the way," said Joe looking around, "Where are Emily and Jeremy."

"Those two took off a while ago with worried looks," said Emeral, "Can't blame them with their dad laying in this condition."

"If you two had helped instead of sobbing we might actually have fixed her by now," scorned Rose.

Joe and Sonic gave each other sarcastic looks before they walked out the door to look for Emily and Jeremy. The two girls gave a "umph" before returning to helping Colonge with Wendy.

"YOU IDIOTS, DON'T USE HEALING MAGIC ON HER!" yelled Kalshion, "YOUR MAGIC MAKES THINGS WORSE!"

Down in the back of the Shrine Sonic and Joe found Emily and Jeremy talking in secret. Being Curious and having nothing better to do, the two decided to 'accidentally overhear' their conversation.

"I sense a disturbance in the force," said Jeremy.

"Normally I would beat the shit out of you for that comment, but this time I agree," replied Emily.

"Than that would mean....", said Jeremy.

"OH SHIT, OOOOH SHIT!" yelled Emily sending Joe and Sonic in the air, "DAD'S SOBER!"

Joe and Sonic soon slammed into the ground, "WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT!" yelled Joe.

"You two were eavesdropping on us?" asked Emily spotting the two.

"No, we were just looking for you," said Sonic.

"Didn't hear anything about sober," added Joe.

"Oh," said Jeremy as the two cracked their fists.

"Mmmphy ufth shuld kepp ufth muth sufft," said Sonic 3 minutes later with a swollen face with bruises.

"Sophy," replied Joe in a similar condition.

App Mountains...

"Why am I getting no attention this chapter?" asked DS sitting on a rock before he noticed something.

"DAMNIT HAPPOSAI! Why are we back HERE again?" yelled Katarina with a 9m automatic anti-lecher machine gun.

"Like I know?" said Happosai dodging before he stopped flat in the air.

"Now I got you!" yelled Katarina before she saw what caused Happosai to stop.

"GET YOUR LEACHERUS BUTT BACK HERE!" yelled a Katarina a few hundred meters away.

"Say, isn't that me chasing you?" asked Katarina.

"Yep," replied Happosai as they watch Shampoo trip Katarina into the cave.

"Figures, Time portal," said Happosai.

"So where were we?" asked Katarina.

"Right about here," said Happosai dashing off.

"Sounds right," said Katarina following.

"Idiots," said DS resuming his mopping.

At the shrine

Back with Wendy, Kalshion is busy holding the two girls back with some restraining magic as Colonge reads through a book.

"Let us GO!" yelled Emeral.

"We'll be good, WE PROMISE," said Rose.

"Alright," said Kalshion letting the restrain magic go before getting punched in the face.

"You pervert!" yelled Rose before noticing a small girl at the front door.

"You can't come in here little girl," said Emeral glaring at the girl.

"Yea, who are you anyways?" asked Rose also glaring.

The young girl looked up, showing a mixture of hate and anger that caused Rose and Emeral to cringe and back off, letting the girl pass.

"Who are you?" Cologne asked, not in an accusatory manner but in a curious manner.

The girl said nothing, however. She just walked up to Wendy's side, put her head down as if in silent prayer, and stood there for a few moments. Then she shocked everyone by whipping out a mallet and flattening Wendy into the bed with it.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?", Wendy yelled, jumping up. "Oh, hi Sarah." A moment later Wendy realized something, and fell back on the bed.

"Now What?" Cologne asked.

"I'm sober," Wendy said. "Get me some quantum aspirin, this is going to be one HELL of a hangover."

At that moment the phone decided to ring which Kalshion promptly answered only to hear a very loud yelling voice that allowed everyone to also hear, "Hey! Hell is MY Department," said the voice before a click.

"Here," said Joe popping out of no where with his face still bruised with a Quantum Aspirin.

"What in the world happen to you?" asked Emeral shocked.

"Just some sparing with Emily and Jeremy," said Sonic popping up behind the girls scaring them, "Would you want this quantum prairie oyster I have too?"

"Sure, how did you know though?" asked Wendy taking the egg.

"A little bird told us," replied Sonic rubbing his swollen check.

"And you were keeping this info from us because?" asked Rose with fire in her eyes.

"I just.." started Sonic.

"Listen Girls," started Wendy finishing her egg, "Let me go to my house first. I feel that headache already coming and I don't need any of this to add to it."

"Ok," said the girls waiting for Wendy and the little girl to go into the Bathroom before turning to Joe and Sonic. "HEAVEN RETRABUTION!" yelled the two girls with their fists closing into Joe and Sonic's face...

That evening at Dr. Tofu's

"Welcome," said Dr. Tofu as Katarina came in with a Bazooka in her hand.

"Hey Doctor," said Katarina slamming the bazooka on the ground, "I think I sprang my ankle chasing that Letch all the way to the Amazon Jungles."

"OK," replied Tofu, "Come on in, I'm just finishing up with Sonic and Joe."

"Oh?" said Katarina intrigued.

Katarina walked into the treatment room to find Sonic and Joe sitting on their beds having bandages wrapped around their body by Emeral and Rose. Both had their mouths wrapped preventing them from talking and were eyeing the two girls for it too.

"Hey Katarina," said Emeral finishing up, "Catch Happosai?" added Rose.

"You two really shouldn't do that," said Katarina causing Sonic and Joe to feel important that someone actually saw what Rose and Emeral was doing to them to be wrong. "I know you two are part of the same being, but please don't finish each other's statements."

Sonic and Joe soon went back to their depression as Tofu came over to take one last look at them, "Looks like you two are ready to go."

The two tried to mumble thanks you but couldn't get a clear world out. The two girls grinned before bowing, "Thanks for your work Doctor."

On the way back home...

"You two didn't have to go THAT far," said Sonic finally removing the bandages off his face.

"Says you," said Rose grinning.

"Lets just call it a truce," said Joe removing his bandage off his face as they got to their front yard.

"We're home," called the gang as they walked in noticing immediately something was wrong.

"Quiet isn't it," said Joe looking around.

"A bit too quiet," added Sonic.

"Wouldn't Kia be making a comment about us being out so late about now?" asked Emeral.

"For that matter, wouldn't we hear sounds of Remote Sabers going off as Jeremy and Emily duke it out for the TV?" continued Rose.

"There is a good reason for that," called Jeremy from the den. The gang walked up to him to find him sitting enjoying the TV for a change with Emily KOed on the reclining chair with an ice pack on top of her head.

"Now that isn't right," said Joe, "You two would never finish a fight this fast."

"I didn't knock her out," said Jeremy thumbing towards the kitchen. There they found Kia sitting at the table rather upset.

"What’s wrong Kia?" asked Emeral. Kia turned around and gave them a look before she went back to pouting.

"She can't speak," said Jeremy, "Dad must have cursed her."

"So why did she knock out Emily?" asked Joe.

"Emily was making fun of her about not being able to speak," started Jeremy, "So she got mad and threw the bathtub at her."

"Makes sense," said Joe.

"So does that mean we'll have to use the public baths?" asked Emeral sounding a bit excited.

"Guess so," replied Rose, "Been a while since I took went to a public bath house."

"Sounds like a plan than," said Sonic grabbing a few anti-pervert war heads out of the closet.

"Good idea," said Joe going into his room before he came back out with explosive bra's to use as decoys.

"You guys are insane if you plan to use those," said Jeremy flipping through a few channels.

"And why would that be?" asked Sonic popping the war heads in a bag.

"Lets see," said Jeremy counting his fingers, "Dad has a hang over, Having a hang over makes you very sensitive to sound, war heads and explosive bras make a lot of sound. Shall I continue?"

"Hmmm," thought Sonic and Joe, "I suppose that means Happosai isn't stupid enough to cause a racket in the bath house."

"He may be the greatest evil in Japan," said Emily surprising everyone, "But he isn't THAT stupid."

At the Public Baths

"Nothing like a good steamy bath," said Emeral with her hair tied up as she sat down in the tub with a towel on her chest.

"You're right," replied Rose doing the same thing, "Been a while since I stopped to enjoy a public bath house."

"Kind of odd though," said Emeral, "Bathing with one's self."

"We're not THAT identical," commented Rose, "We have different eye and hair colors."

"You also have bigger breasts," grinned Emeral.

"Oh come on," said Rose blushing, "We have identical bodies."

"I dunno," said Emeral, "You did make a few small adjustments to your figure after you evolved."

"Wait, I don't recall doing that," answered Rose, "And how would you know, don't you just have memories of before I evolved?"

The two girls sighed before they sat still for a bit to enjoy the nice warm steam covering their faces until they heard a familiar voice, "Hey you two, enjoying the baths too?"

The two girls looked towards the direction of the voice to find Akane with a towel, "Akane, nice to see you," said Emeral.

"Did you're bath tub break too?" asked Rose as Akane sat down next to them.

"Yep, Mr. Satome insists of not changing back to human before jumping into the tub," said Akane.

"Stupid old man," said Ranma sitting next to his pop with Joe and Sonic on his other side, "Stop breaking the damn tub."

"What are the chances," asked Joe.

"Of both tubs breaking at the same time," finished Sonic.

"Will you two please not do that," asked Ranma.

"They can't help it my boy," said Genma, "They are two of the same person anyways."

"Its still annoying," replied Ranma.

"So you used to visit the public baths often back at your own world?" asked Akane dumping some water on her at the sinks.

"Yep," replied Emeral, "Used to go with my friends all the time."

"I don't recall that," said Rose, "I thought that we always went to the springs in the apartments."

"We had a spring?" asked Emeral confused.

Rose put her hand to her head, "Damn memory split."

"I still can't figure it out," said Ranma rinsing his hair with water, "Gramps has been sitting over there doing nothing other than giving depressed looks at the wall. Shouldn't he be trying to peep at the girls?"

"He isn't going to risk it," said Sonic scrubbing his back with a towel.

"MM has a hang over making him sensitive to sound," continued Joe.

"Thus if Happosai causes a ruckus, a lot of noise would be produced," added Sonic.

"And MM would be extremely angry at him," finished Joe.

"You two just won't stop that, will you?" eyed Ranma.

"Nope," the two said at the same time.

"Still, what is this world coming to if the Master can't peep at women?" exclaimed Genma.

"What is this world coming to?" asked Akane, "We can actually take a bath in peace without Grandfather running a muck peeping at us."

"World peace?" snickered Emeral getting up to go back to the bath with Rose.

"That would be the day," laughed Akane filling up a wooden bucket with water to douse the shampoo off her head not noticing the shiny spec falling into the bucket from the phoset. She than splashed her hair with the water before rubbing her hair some more to make sure she got the shampoo out of her hair. What she didn't realize was she ended up rubbing the spec into the top of her forehead where it promptly vanished.

The Dragon Shrine

"Hmmm?" said Kalshion putting down the paper he was reading, "Hey Kat, did you feel that?"

"Feel what?" called Katarina from the bathroom before a loud crashing sound was heard.

"The klutz," Kalshion sighed, "I guess it was just me than."

Back at the JERKS house...

"Hey, when did this house get called the JERKS?" whisper Joe who noticed the name.

"You get JERKS when you use the first initials of all the residents, minus you and Emeral," whispered the author.

"Makes sense," replied Joe.

"Ooooh, that was a relaxing bath," said Emeral stretching as she sat down on the sofa.

"The best part was Happosai not trying to peep at us," said Rose coming from the bathroom after putting her wash material away.

"Actually, I thought it was boring without him causing a ruckus," said Sonic standing behind Emeral.

"What!?" the two girls said trying to keep their voices down, "You WANTED him to peep at us."

"More like we wanted to battle it out to stop him from peeping to show off," said Joe.

"That and you wanted to 'accidentally' go into the girl's side to peek at Emeral and Rose," said Jeremy grinning.

The two girls gave a look at the two boys who had worried looks on their face. Weather it was from Jeremy figuring them out or the fact that the girls were about to hurt them, we aren't sure. At least, they had worried looks until the two girls shrugged before watching TV with Jeremy and Emily.

The two boys sighed and decided to join the rest of the gang at watching TV. They didn't realize that Emeral and Rose were holding small black mallets behind their backs, until they had whacked them on their heads KOing them without making a sound.

"These Silent Mallets work like a charm," said Rose tapping it on her palm.

"Thanks for getting us these Emily," continued Emeral.

"Not a Problem," said Emily, "I had to get some anyways to bash Kia to a pulp."

"Noofff fphair," said Kia laying on her bed with spinning eyes.

Next Morning at the Tendos

"Good Morning" said Nabiki coming down stairs and sitting at the table. Soun was also at the table reading a paper while Ranma and Genma had a morning practice on the pond. Like usual, neither was given in, at least until Kasumi showed up.

"Everyone, breakfast is ready," she said sitting down a dish of omelets followed by Akane bring in some scrambled eggs.

"Oh, Thanks Kasumi," said Genma followed by Ranma smashing him into the pond.

"You're getting sloppy pops," said Ranma before Genma splashed him with water.

"Now who is sloppy?" said Genma via a wood sign.

The two of them sat down at the table and join everyone at looking at the food Akane brought in.

"Say Kasumi..." started Soun.

"Yes Father, Akane made those scrambled eggs all by herself," answered Kasumi.

"That...erm...nice," said Soun afraid to touch it.

"Well!?" stared Akane, "Are you going to try it?"

"You know, I think I'll skip breakfast," said Ranma getting up only to be slammed back down by Akane.

"Try It," said Akane with an evil stare.

Ranma reluctantly spooned some eggs onto his plate before picking up some with his fork and placing it near his mouth. He stared at it for a moment with sweat drops forming around his head.

"EAT IT!" yelled Akane.

Ranma took a gulp before he shoved the contents of his fork into his mouth and braced for a nasty shock from the food. After six seconds of bracing Ranma still hadn't tasted anything sinister, in fact, he tasted a heavenly fluffy sensation in his mouth. And when we say fluffy, we don't mean a giant three headed dog.

"Well?" asked Akane still eyeing Ranma.

Ranma swallowed before he dropped his fork causing everyone in the room to wonder how poisonous Akane's food was this time.

"That..." started Ranma trying to bring out the words, "That was...the most...DELISIOUS BREAKFAST I HAVE EVER TASTED!" he exclaimed.

The rest of the group was stunned by this, uncertain if Ranma was lying to keep his skin, until Ranma started to dig into the eggs like there was no tomorrow. Nabiki gave a curious look and decided to get Akane's eggs a try. Soun, Genma and Kasumi watched in anticipation to see what would happen to Nabiki. Akane would have been watching Nabiki try her food, but she is in a daze of happiness watching Ranma scarf down her cooking.

"Here goes nothing," Nabiki said trying a fork full of Scrambled Eggs followed by dropping her fork, "This...This...THIS IS ACTUALLY EDIABLE!"

"My," said Kasumi happily, "Akane finally was able to cook something good."

Genma and Soun looked at each other in disbelief, unsure if this was some prank being pulled on them. Genma than grabbed Happosai who was walking by in depression from not being able to go on panty raids and stuffed some of Akane's Eggs into him.

Happosai had the fear of god in his eyes when Genma shoved some of Akane's cooking in him and began to beat the ground with his fist from the horrible taste. He continued this for a few moments before he stopped realizing there was no bad taste, in fact, it was heavenly.

"Wait," said Happosai, "This is actually rather good."

"That’s it," said Soun, "Give me some!"

"Sure," said Kasumi putting some scrambled eggs and her fathers plate.

Soun looked at the egg for a moment before he boldly plopped some in his mouth. A moment later tears were rolling down his face, "My daughter, My daughter is cured!"

"Stop acting like I had a disease dad," said Akane actually noticing that everyone was now eating her eggs.

"Still, when did you finally learn to cook?" asked Nabiki finishing her seconds of Akane's eggs.

"I dunno, I just cooked like I usually do," said Akane.

"Who cares," said Ranma finishing his third plate, "These eggs are terrific!"

Akane gave a happy smile, "You think so?"

"Sure," said Ranma grabbing his school bag, "Why don't you try cooking supper too?"

"Really!?!" exclaimed Akane.

"Just don't screw up," said Nabiki grinning.

"Thanks sis," eyed Akane, "We're we off!"

"Take care," said Kasumi as the three ran off to school. She than looked at the table where Akane's eggs were all gone while her own omelets weren’t even touched.

"What's wrong Kasumi?" asked Soun noticing something from her.

"Oh its nothing father," said Kasumi smiled, "I'm just glad Akane finally figured out how to cook."

Kasumi than looked back at her omelets, "Nothing to worry about," she thought to herself.

Meanwhile...

A small explosion ripped through the house causing Emeral and Rose to stop fiddling with their hair and run into the kitchen to find Emily with a charred face from the toaster exploding, yet a perfectly toasted piece of bread was sitting dead center where the toaster USED to be.

"Couldn't leave it at toast, could ya?" asked Jeremy.

"Oh shut up," said Emily, "At least the majority of the fusion reaction from the overloaded reactor was channeled to the dueling black holes of the bathroom."

"Why you had to have a fusion powered toaster is beyond me," said Emeral sitting down, "Say, where's Joe?"

"Come to think of it," added Rose looking around, "I haven't seen Sonic either."

"Those two woke up rather early," said Kia sitting a plate of her usual 'human food' on the table, "They seemed rather disturbed so they went to take a walk."

"I wonder," started Rose.

"What that is," continued Emeral.

"About," finished the two of them at the same time.

"WOULD YOU TWO STOP THAT!" yelled Emily before realizing she shouldn't have raised her voice and braced for an impact from her father. After a few minutes of total silent, she looked back up, "That's odd, I was sure I yelled rather loud."

"Come to think of it, shouldn't the toaster have caused a loud enough bang to get dad upset?" commented Jeremy.

"Maybe he's feeling better," said Emeral.

"I guess that means its safe to attempt a visit to see if he can FIX us," added Rose.

Somewhere in the App Mountains...

"You know, we haven't said a word since we left the house," said Sonic looking at Joe, "And both of us seemed to have a very disturbing dream."

"Do you think we should talk about it?" asked Joe.

"Sure, why not?" replied Sonic, "After all, we are the SAME PERSON."

"Well, since its your idea, why don't you start?" grinned Joe.

"Damn you," said Sonic, "Alright you win." After taking a breath, "I've had it before, its a dream where I see Rose in great pain holding her chest while DS is holding the Dragon Aura laughing at me. She has a tear in her body suit as if DS plunged his fist into her."

"That gives me chills right there," said Joe, "After all, we'll be just plain Sonic and Rose soon won't we."

"Yep," replied Sonic, "So what's your dream about?"

"Well mine wasn't that horrifying by sight," said Joe, "But the feeling I got from it sent chills down my spine."

"Oh?" said Sonic.

"I see Rose staring at this strange floating ball of energy. The energy is so strange I can't make head or tails of it, but I see Rose starting poke it...That's when I woke up screaming," continued Joe.

"What, THATS IT?" eyed Sonic, "Just an odd ball of ENERGY?"

"Oh shut up," barked Joe, "I told you, it was the feeling I got, not what I actually SAW!"

Sonic sighed before he looked around, "By the way, doesn't this place give an awful familiar aura? It feels like DS was here."

"Are you that dense?" asked Joe, "Do I LOOK like I could sense things like that?"

"Dunno," said Sonic, "but sensing DS isn't about his Aura, its more of a...gut feeling."

"Alright," said Joe, "I admit, I feel a bit uneasy here."

Sonic stopped and thought for a moment before his watched beep. Where he got the watch and how it appeared on his wrist at that very moment, no one knows.

"I guess its time for breakfast," said Sonic, "Shall we get going?"

"Sure," replied Joe as the two went to a rock and opened a door to the bathroom that wasn't there before.

The Camera than zoomed out and moved to an area where DS usually sits...Wait a minute, DS isn't there! "Yo DS, Get your but out here, its time for your part!" yelled the Narrator.

On Mount Fuji...

"Bah!" commented DS, "I finally got tired of those App Mountains, so I came over here."

"That isn't in the script!" objected the narrator.

"So?" DS said Eyeing the Narrator.

"Yea...um...so why don't...you..." started the Narrator looking at DS's eyes, "Never mind."

"Damn straight," said DS looking back at the lava pit, "After that dream of those eyes filled with rage beyond anything comprendable, I think I deserve a little break too."

"Hmmm, now DS is also having a strange dream, perhaps we should go to an expert on this...Domonic, your opinion?" said the Narrator. The scene than changed to a hut in the middle of no were with a young man sitting on a table with a crystal ball sitting by him.

"Premonition dreams," said Domonic, "Very common for those with second sight abilities. Too bad those three don't realize they have a second sight, and thus won't take the dreams seriously."

"Ahhh," replied the Narrator, "So those events will happen in the near future?"

"Who said it had to be NEAR," replied Domonic, "For all we know, they are simply seeing a premonition in another nexial matrix."

"That makes sense...WAIT, how do you know about other nexial matrixies?" exclaimed the Narrator, "I didn't even know there was a Nexial Matrix until a while back in this story!"

"You should try reading more," said Domonic holding up the book 'Quantum Levels and Planes of Existence: From World to Nexial Matrix to the Sprit Plane to Anti-Limbo'.

"Damn you, I need a copy of that!" pouted the Narrator.

Back at JERKS...

"Where have you two been?" asked Rose as Joe and Sonic walked into the house.

"Just on a stroll in the App Mountains," answered Sonic walking up to the kitchen table.

"Figures you two would leave without a word than show up when I finished making breakfast," said Emeral sitting a pot of scrambled eggs on the table, "We would have some toast, but Emily overloaded the Fusion Reactor on it."

"Damn," said Joe, "I was in the mood for plasma toasted Toast too."

"So I take it since the Toaster exploded and Emily is fine and dandy that MM seems not to be sensitive to sound anymore," said Sonic gulping down some eggs.

"Seems so, that's why we plan to use the pendant to go see him after breakfast," replied Rose eating some of the eggs.

"Sounds like a plan," said Joe finishing up his eggs, "You ready now?"

The two girls stared at Joe before looking at their nearly full plates of breakfast, Sonic looked at his half way finished plate before making a comment, "I see where my appetite went to now."

"WARNING! ANTI-MATTER CONTAINMENT FAILURE IMMENATE..." came a computer voice scaring the girls.

"Relax," said Joe getting up, "Its just the doorbell."

"Who was the IDIOT that made the door bell use Star Trek Computer Sounds," growled Rose.

Joe answered the door finding a delivery guy with a small box, "You're new Fusion Powered Toaster is here," said the Man, "Got a Stamp?"

"Great, let me get it," said Joe jotting over to his room. A moment later he brought a stamp the size of himself and stamped the delivery guy himself, "There ya go."

"Th...anks," said the delivery guy as Joe closed the door and took the toaster to toast some toast.

"Smart thinking on ordering the toaster Sis," said Jeremy sipping some Orange Juice.

"I didn't order it," said Emily, "Joe, who ordered it?"

"Lets see," said Joe looking at the delivery slip, "1 Washu Tech Fusion Powered Toaster, ordered by Sarah."

"Sarah?" asked the Emily, "Who's Sarah?"

"FORGET THAT!" said Rose and Emeral, "Just keep us AWAY from that thing!"

"Oh come on," said Joe putting in a piece of toast, "Washu's tech can actually work ya know."

"Toast done," came a computer voice from the toaster a few seconds later.

"Alright," said Joe as a green glowing krypton radiating toast popped out...

"Read the instructions next time you idiot," said Jeremy.

"Why? Its extra Kryptonite, the way I like it," said Sonic snatching the toast.

"Ewww..." shivered the girls. "Not only do we know where you appetite went, but also your taste buds," commented Rose.

Furinkan High School

"Is it True Akane?" asked one of Akane's friends, "Ranma actually ate all your breakfast?"

"Yep, and he wants me to cook again," said Akane with a cheerful face.

"That's wonderful Akane," said her friends.

"You're KIDDEN," said Ukyo, "You ATE her food, asked for thirds, and you're STILL ALIVE?"

"I'm not sure about it myself," said Ranma, "But Akane seems to be able to cook now."

"This...Can't be," growled Ukyo.

"I'm actually starting to wonder though," said Ranma with Ukyo too upset to notice him talking, "Could this be caused by one of those dragon thingies."

"AwwwCHuuU!" sneezed both Kalshion and Katarina walking into class.

"You think someone is talking about us?" asked Katarina getting a shrug back from her brother.

The two sat down in their desks before they started to look around, "No doubt about it brother, there is a Dragon Aura around here." said Katarina.

"If only this odd...drunk like feeling wasn't around," said Kalshion, "We could probably pinpoint it..."

Looks like Rose, Emeral, Joe and Sonic are ready to use their pendant

"Everyone got their seatbelts fastened?" asked Sonic.

"Stop with the wise cracks and just activate the damn thing," said Rose still looking a tad pale from watching Sonic eating that 'concoction'.

"Alright already," said Sonic zapping the pendant with some energy causing a portal to open up which they promptly entered.

Inside the world of the light, the gang waited for MM to show himself. After a minute and a half, a door appeared out of no where and Nadeshiko tripped inside.

"Hey Nadeshiko, where's MM?" asked Emeral.

"Still in his room from the hangover," said Nadeshiko getting up.

"Than why didn't he react to the toaster blowing up?" asked Joe a bit curious.

"Oh, Sarah did something to block the sound on him," said Nadeshiko gesturing them to walk into the door, "She should be finishing up with the hangover remedy."

"Sarah?" asked the gang looking at themselves as they walked in.

"Yea, Sarah," said Nadeshiko looking at a door which was presumably where MM was. A second later the door open and the little girl who smacked Wendy with a mallet came out with a box.

"That's Sarah!?" exclaimed the group.

"Sure is," said Tommy sitting on a sofa near by, "About time you dolts figured it out."

"Ok, What's HE doing here?" asked Sonic thumbing at Tommy.

"He came with Sarah," replied Nadeshiko, "Seems he is the only one that can hear her."

"WHY HIM!?" yelled Rose before she slapped her mouth.

"She says Relax," said Tommy relaying Sarah's thoughts, "She put earmuffs on him to keep him from hearing."

"Ear muffs?" asked Joe, "What kind of Ear muffs could stop a being at that magnitude from hearing?"

"These," said Tommy throwing an extra pair of Earmuffs at Joe. Joe looked at the earmuffs and threw them far away from him the moment he saw 'Washu' labeled on them, "Sorry I asked."

"I'm more interested in this box she is carrying," said Sonic looking at the box Sarah was carrying which was labeled 'Master of Frigin Magic Family Hangover Remedy'.

"Why would YOU have a family hangover remedy?" asked Rose who got a glare back from Sarah.

"Hello!" yelled Tommy, "She's MM's daughter!" This promptly caused the gang to fall over, except Nadeshiko who was sipping some Tea she just replicated for herself.

A moment later Sonic was back up looking at the box, "So what is this remedy, or is it top secret?" Sarah promptly handed Sonic a piece of paper which he started to read out loud.

Grab Nadeshiko, have her make a batch of meatloaf, take the result and put it through a processor to remove the impurities to create weapons grade meatloaf. You should get about a cup out of it. You take that cup, give MM a tablespoon of it. Oh, and run for the hills immediately thereafter. Trust me on that one.

"Wait, I didn't see you running when you came in," said Emeral objecting.

"She did," replied Nadeshiko opening MM's door revealing miles of hills.

"Ok..." said Sonic reading some more of the paper...

Approximately two weeks later MM will wake up with the hangover gone. However, if you add Quantum Sugar to the meatloaf, the Hangover will be gone within 3 days.

"Hmmm, never heard of quantum sugar," said Joe.

"So we have to wait three whole days before we can find how to fix ourselves," said Emeral a tad upset, "I'm getting tired of staring at my other self and getting jealous over her figure."

"Ok...WAY TOO MUCH information there," replied Sonic, "Say Sarah, want to come with us? I'm sure Emily and Jeremy will want to meet you."

Sarah nodded followed by Tommy standing behind her, "You won't be going without me," he said grinning.

"Alright, you can tag along too," said Sonic before looking at Nadeshiko who surprised him by answering before he asked.

"I'll be staying for a bit longer to make sure everything is alright," she said taking another drink of her tea.

"Alrighty than," said Joe, "Shall we head back?"

The group nodded and headed back to the light world with the door back to their house. After the door closed the computer spoke up, "You worried about the Sugar high?"

"Worried? More like terrified," said Nadeshiko nodding.

Back at JERKS...

"So who's the shrimp?" asked Emily looking at Sarah, "Haven't we seen her before?"

"Well Emily, this 'shrimp' happens to be your SISTER," said Emeral.

"My Sister!?" exclaimed Emily, "Yea right!"

"If you're truly one of dad's kids, prove it!" said Jeremy boldly.

Sarah than promptly pulled out a quantum saber which had a 'Washu' Patent on it.

"Impressive," said Jeremy as the two of them pulled out their quantum sabers while Joe and Emeral backed away slowly.

Sarah than grinned and turned on her saber as Emily and Jeremy did so. The only thing was that nothing was happening with Sarah's saber, at least nothing they could see. However Sonic and Rose are now clear across town on the hills, shivering.

"Are you kidding!" yelled Sonic, "With the AURA that thing is putting off!"

"We can feel it all the way out here," added Rose.

"What is this?" asked Emily as Sarah walked up and taped her saber on their sabers.

Instantly their saber’s shorted out from an overload. A few seconds later Emily and Jeremy were standing on the ceilings with their heads as if gravity just switched. Sarah just smiled before she powered down her saber and put it up.

"Is it over," asked Rose peeping her head through the door?

"Yep," said Tommy laughing at Emily and Jeremy, "Does that prove she's your sister?"

"I'm pretty sure they would respond to your question Tommy," said Joe looking at the two, "But I think they are in shock."

Furinkan High...

"You ready to go home Akane?" asked Ranma eagerly waiting for her next meal making Ukyo upset.

"Sure," said Akane.

"Good Luck Akane," cheered her friends as they walked out of the classroom and passed Katarina and Kalshion who were wondering around.

"For a moment I thought I felt the aura a lot clearer," said Kalshion eyeing around.

"Lets give uup broo," said Katarina looking a bit tipsy, "Nothing we *hiccup* can dooo now."

"If I didn't know better, I say you were drunk," eyed Kalshion.

"Watchaa meaan," replied Katarina loosing her balance.

"Great, this drunk atmosphere is getting to you," said Kalshion smacking his head.

The Tendo Residence

"Check", said Soun putting down his rook in direct path to Genma's king. Genma, in his panda form, gave a shock look and eyed Soun. "No Take Backs," said Soun smiling, "Lets see you get out of this one Satome."

"Father," said Kasumi walking up catching Soun's attention, and allowing Genma to switch the chessboard, "What do you want for dinner tonight?"

"What?" asked Soun a bit confused, "Isn't Akane cooking tonight?"

"She is?" asked Kasumi.

"Don't you remember, Ranma asked her to cook tonight's meal," replied Soun.

"No," said Kasumi putting her hand on her check, "I don't seem to remember, but that's ok. I'll just cook desert than."

"Sounds good," said Soun looking back at his board, "AHHH, I thought I was winning!"

Well, Emily and Jeremy have come out of their shock...

"How could her lightsabre be that powerful?" Jeremy asked as he plopped himself down on the sofa.

"If she could speak I bet she would tell us," Emily said.

"She said she used some of Washu's research and a raw anti-energy crystal," Tommy said. "Whatever that is."

"Dad must be playing favorites," Emily said.

"You don't care that she is your previously unknown sister?" Joe asked, raising an eyebrow.

"We are curious," Jeremy said. "But that lightsabre, DAMN."

"This family continues to intrigue me," said Sonic to Joe before looking at his wives, "Than again, who am I to talk?"

"Why are you two sitting with Sarah in-between you two?" asked Joe, "Shouldn't she be over here to get acquainted with her family?"

"But she is SOO CUTE," said Emeral hugging Sarah.

"How could we give up such an adorable thing," added Rose putting her hand on Sarah's head.

"Didn't you two not like her back when you two were caring for Wendy?" asked Sonic.

"That was because we were in a bad mood," replied the two of them.

"Mood wings," sighed Sonic.

"So, how old are you two anyways," asked Sonic, "And how old is Sarah?"

"I refuse to answer that," said Jeremy giving a fearful look of Emily.

"We're sixteen, can't you tell?" continued Emily.

"Right..." said Sonic, "That still doesn't help me determine if Sarah is your younger or older sister."

"She says she is Younger," said Tommy, "But older than you."

"If that's the case, why are those two still cuddling her?" asked Joe.

"I told you, she's cute," said Emeral giving a slight pinch to Sarah's cheek. A flash later, Emeral was laying on the ground with a Mallet stuck to her head and Sarah was beet red causing nearby traffic to stop.

"Oh I forgot to mention," grinned Tommy, "Sarah doesn't like anyone touching her cheeks."

"Erm..." said Rose backing away, now afraid of Sarah.

"From cute to scary," smiled Joe, "You two really live an exhausting life."

"Oh shut up," said Rose slamming a throwing Mallet at him.

"Still, how did she pull out a Mallet out of thin air and gave an impact in THAT short of time?" asked Sonic, "She doesn't appear to have any active quantum abilities."

"Mini Mallets, I have several on a belt under my shirt." said Tommy as Sarah lifted her shirt up a bit reveling a Batman Utility belt with several mini-mallets the size of golf balls.

"Ahhh," replied Sonic pulling out a small notepad and jotting down a few notes on it, 'Beware of cancelled Mini-Mallets' under the 'Avoid Mallets Section'. "There," he said finishing, "Say, where did I get this pen?" A moment later a mallet launched out of the Pen and smacked him in the face. "Ow..." he said Getting back up, "Anyone got a Pencil? I need to jot down a note about Mallets coming out of Pens."

Tendo Residence

"Hey Kasumi," said Akane walking into the Kitchen still in her school uniform but with an apron.

"Welcome home," said Kasumi smiling, "You need any help with dinner?"

"Nope," said Akane pulling up her sleeves, "Say, what are you doing?"

"I thought I would making some pudding for desert," said Kasumi putting what she had made into the fridge.

"I look forward to it," said Akane as she started to prepare the rice.

It was a while later when Ranma, who was training in the dojo, noticed that he hadn't heard any smashes, explosions, battle cries, and in short, a battle from the kitchen. After a bit longer he finally decided to back into the living area to see what was going on.

"Is Akane cooking yet?" asked Ranma.

"Yes she is," said Kasumi sitting by the table with some tea, "Been in there for almost an hour now."

"Ok, something is SERIOUSLY wrong," thought Ranma, "Normally the racket from her cooking is so loud I have to go to the dojo to get some peace."

Meanwhile Akane was humming as she happily started to skin a potato when the kitchen door opened and Ukyo came through followed by Shampoo busting a whole in the wall.

"U..Ukyo, Shampoo...What do you two want?" asked Akane.

"We came to see what you were doing to pull off actually cooking decent food!" exclaimed Ukyo.

"We know you cheat to get Ranma!" continued Shampoo.

"What are you talking about," said Akane putting down the potato and checking what was in the oven.

"You know what we mean sugar," said Ukyo readying her spatula, "Now Tell us!"

"I still don't know what you are talking about," said Akane tasting the soup to see if it was alright.

"Forget it, no talk just fight!" said Shampoo taking a pot shot with her Bonbori.

Akane quickly moved to the side dodging the attack before continuing to shave more potatoes. Shampoo growled and began to attack variously followed by Ukyo sending some of her mini-spatulas at Akane. Shortly Later Akane walked out with her food while Ukyo and Shampoo were laying on the ground exhausted.

"When Akane this good?" asked Shampoo between breaths.

"I don't know," replied Ukyo trying to get enough breath to speak, "But something is up."

We Are the Borg, Lower your Shields and Prepare to be Assimilated...

"LET ME AT IT!" yelled Rose being held back by Sonic, "I'm going to blow that door bell to smithereens."

"Hey Kalshion," said Joe at the door before noticing Katarina wasn't around, "Where's your sister?"

"Drunk," said Kalshion walking in getting everyone's attention.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Emeral brining some tea for Kalshion.

"Well, a long story short, We sensed a Dragon Aura Shard," started Kalshion, "But it was immediately drowned out by this overwhelming 'drunk' feeling."

"Oh," said Sonic finally being able to let go of Rose, "That would be because MM has a hang over."

"Well, his hang over is causing Katarina to get drunk," continued Kalshion taking a drink of his tea.

"What, she can't handle her liquor?" chuckled Tommy.

"What's HE doing here?" asked Kalshion.

"He's a translator," responded Sonic.

"Translator for what?" inquired Kalshion.

"Sarah," replied Sonic, "MM's youngest Daughter...To our Knowledge."

"Why am I not surprised," responded Kalshion looking at Sarah who wasn't giving any facial expressions, "At least she's cute."

"Cute but deadly," responded Emeral, "She smashed me with a mallet in a blink of an eye after I touched her cheek."

"Heh," laughed Kalshion.

"ITS NOT FUNNY!" yelled Emeral ready to pounce on Kalshion only to be held back by Joe.

"No, what's not funny is that lightsabre," interrupted Jeremy.

"Eh?" said Kalshion confused.

"Long story short," started Sonic before Emily smashed him with a Mallet.

"Long story short, Dad is playing favorites," grumbled Emily.

"Ok..." said Kalshion deciding not to ask about it further.

"So where do you think the shard is at?" asked Sonic.

"I think its at school moving around," replied Kalshion.

"I wonder if anyone found it yet and is using it for no good," commented Joe.

Tendo Residence...

"I'm stuffed," said Ranma collapsing over, "I can't eat another bite!"

Akane Smiled, "Thanks!"

"You out did yourself Akane," said Genma, "You'll make Ranma an excellent Wife."

"Would you stop that," said Akane getting a tad angry.

"Anyone hungry for desert?" asked Kasumi getting ready to distribute the pudding.

"Another time," said Soun, "I think we're all stuffed from Akane's feast."

"Oh," said Kasumi eyeing her pudding.

"Actually I'll have one," said Akane taking one of them and starting to eat it, "Good like always sis."

Kasumi smiled, "Thanks Akane."

Later after everyone had went off to do their own thing, Shampoo and Ukyo where sitting with Kasumi eating her pudding. Kasumi was busy fixing a shirt that had got a whole in it while Shampoo and Ukyo where talking about Akane.

"I still can't put my finger on it," said Ukyo taking a bit of her pudding.

"She got good in cooking and martial arts," replied Shampoo between bites.

"You don't suppose its related to these strange events going on do ya?" asked Ukyo as Kasumi got up to get some more thread.

"You mean events caused by UFOs?" inquired Shampoo.

"No, Not THAT," said Ukyo slamming her palm on her head.

"By way," said Shampoo, "Doesn't Pudding not taste as good?"

"Now that you mention it," said Ukyo, "It is lacking a bit of the taste that Kasumi's food usually has."

The two didn't noticed however that in the hall Kasumi had heard them and had dropped her thread in shock. She stood there for a while before she depressingly went up stairs. A bit later Ukyo and Shampoo went out of the hall way and noticed the thread.

"That’s odd," said Ukyo picking up the thread, "Not like Kasumi to leave stuff around like that."

"Maybe its Akane," smiled Shampoo.

"Perhaps," said Ukyo smiling too before the two left.

That morning Kasumi was late coming downstairs causing Soun to overreact with worry. Akane was cooking breakfast while Soun moaned at Kasumi's door begging her to tell him what was wrong. All Kasumi would say was she didn't sleep much and everything was fine.

After everyone minus Kasumi had a delicious breakfast and left, Kasumi came down and cooked herself some breakfast. Genma and Soun went out to celebrate at a local bar over Akane's improvements in cooking while Happosai was on his morning Panty Raid. Kasumi sighed as she sat down with her breakfast and started to eat it. She stopped for a moment after the first bite noticing something about her food but went on eating it after more of the depression sat in.

"What a Haul!" said Happosai coming in noticing some food on the table. He promptly took a bite out of one before he chocked, "I thought Akane was getting better," he said shacking his head to get the taste out before he went to his room.

Kasumi looked at part of her meal which Happosai ate and mistook as Akane's, she sighed again and continued to eat it.

Furinkan High School...

"Isn't Akane a bit late?" asked one of the girls in their gym tights.

"Yea," replied another girl, "Akane isn't one to miss out on Gym, even if its the morning."

"I wonder what’s wrong?" said another girl as Ranma in his girl form wearing a swim suit came up.

"Hey, where's Akane?" asked Ranma.

"We were wondering the same thing," answered one of the girls.

Meanwhile by the storage shed, Akane, in her gym clothes, was being confronted by Ukyo and Shampoo yet again. The two were furious and were demanding answers. Akane was a bit uneasy, not sure herself why she could cook, let alone tell THEM.

"Spill it Akane," said Ukyo taking a fighter stance with her spatula, "What are you using to cook!"

"I really don't know what you are talking about," said Akane backing off a bit.

"You lie!" yelled Shampoo, "Now we punish!"

The two jumped into the air and headed straight for Akane. Akane made an effort to dodge Shampoo's attack and got hit by Ukyo's spatula. She fell to the ground before she flipped herself away dodging Shampoo's fist. She landed on her feet and took a fighter's stance despite being already exhausted.

"Now you get it!" yelled Shampoo throwing one of her Bonbori at Akane only to be deflected by Ranma.

"What's going on?" yelled Ranma-chan.

"Say out of this Ran-chan," said Ukyo.

"This between Akane and us," blasted Shampoo.

"I don't really get it, but you two need to stop this at once!" replied Ranma causing Akane to blush a bit.

"Ran-chan..." said Ukyo.

"Why you taking sides with Akane," asked Shampoo.

"Well...I..." started Ranma blushing and playing with his fingers, "I want her to cook more of her delicious food!"

"You saying my okonomiyaki is good enough?" growled Ukyo before she realized Akane smashed Ranma with a Mallet.

"Is that all I'm good for?" scowled Akane, "Fine than."

"Akane!" yelled Ranma as she walked away.

"What is that girls problem," said Ukyo.

"She too too violent," replied Shampoo.

"Hehe...*hiccup*...Akan...Ran....ve..." said Katarina stumbling by causing the three to grow wide eyes.

"What was THAT about?" asked Ranma.

Back at the JERKS house

"Why the hell are you two dressed like that?" asked Sonic looking at Joe and Emeral.

Joe was in a Furinkan High School navy blue uniform complete with the gold buttons while Emeral was in a the teal dress with a white shirt. She had also tied her hair up into a pony tail using a white ribbon.

"We're going to school to check out the Aura aren't we?" replied Joe.

"We might as well dress the part," responded Emeral twirling around, "Though these uniforms are longer than my Reigny High School uniform."

"I can fix that," said Kia popping up.

"NOOO!" yelled Rose smashing an Anvil on her, "Can we just go now?"

"I suppose," responded Sonic.

Somewhere in the Bathroom...not sure where though...

"So the Raw Energy Crystals are beyond this door?" asked Jeremy looking at the large round white door.

"Yep," said Emily, "All we have to do is hack that access panel." Emily pointed to a small black access panel to the side of the door with a palm reader and a series of numbers.

"OK," said Jeremy, "First of all, when did Dad need a Palm Reader? Second of all, don't these buttons remind you of a Playstation Controller?"

"Who cares, just hack the damn thing," said Emily, "I want those crystals to get back at that sister of mine."

"OK already," said Jeremy plugging up a palm pilot to the access panel.

After a few minutes Jeremy started to smile believing he was making progress causing Emily to get excited...until the entire area went red and a computer voice boomed out. "Access attempt to Raw Energy Chamber detected, now flushing!"

"What?" yelled Jeremy before they smelled what was coming their way, "Oh my..."

"No Damnit! I just took a shower," yelled Emily as brown water smashed into them taking them down a ways till they hit a drain and popped out in the back yard of JERKS.

Furinkan High...

"You think we got enough people staring at us?" asked Rose looking around as they walked into the school with the majority of the school frozen looking at the four.

"Perhaps they aren't used to there being two of us each now," said Sonic.

"You sure it isn't my attractive uniform," said Emeral giggling.

"Would you STOP THAT," yelled Rose, "Your body after all is also MY body!"

"And you were the one that split us, remember?" replied Emeral.

"Just shut up," said Rose at they vanished down one of the halls.

"Did everyone else see that?" asked one of the girls.

"If you saw two Joe and Emeral's at the same time, than yep," replied a boy.

"And I thought one each of them was enough," said a Girl as Happosai rushed away with some Gym Shorts without anyone even noticing him.

"Any luck on the shard?" asked Sonic sitting down with everyone next to a tree with Kalshion and Katarina.

"Nope," replied Kalshion, "And I don't think Katarina is getting any better."

"Oh hush *hiccup* bro..." giggled Katarina.

"On another note, WHY is everyone STARING at us?" asked Kalshion.

"Probably because there is now two Joe's and two Emeral's," replied Joe.

"You sure though the shard at school right now?" asked Rose.

"Positive," said Kalshion looking at Rose, "Well at least till you two showed up anyways."

"Which two?" asked Emeral.

"You and Rose," said Kalshion, "You're own shards are making it more difficult to sense the rouge one."

"Wait, we both have shards?" asked the two of them checking themselves. Rose finally materialized 7 shards in her hand while Emeral couldn't figure out how to pull them out of her body.

"Give it up," said Joe, "You aren't a quantum being right now."

"Say where's Akane and Ranma?" asked Joe looking around.

"Not sure," said Kalshion, "I heard there was a fight between Akane, Ukyo and Shampoo a while ago though."

Meanwhile...

"Your the best Akane," said Ranma in his now male form racking in food from a lunch box.

"Really?" said Akane with a smile and her eyes closed, "Glad we choose an isolated spot to enjoy our lunch."

"Like anyone would look for us in the Principle's Pineapple storage facility?" said Ranma between bites.

...Back with the gang

"Yo Chumps," said Tommy walking to the tree with Sarah.

"There goes the neighborhood," said Rose looking at Tommy.

"So what do we owe the...visit?" asked Sonic.

"Nothing much, just wanted to see how you guys were doing," replied Tommy.

"Same as this morning," said Joe, "Haven't been put back together or anything."

"You mean you didn't read the book Nadeshiko is reading?" said Tommy relaying for Sarah as he gesture towards Nadeshiko who was sitting in a tree reading a book. A moment later Rose and Emeral were by Nadeshiko demanding for the book.

"That was quick," said Joe.

"Not was quick as when I did the frame jump back in the RPG," grinned Sonic.

"What is it girls," asked Nadeshiko a tad nervous with Emeral and Rose looking like they were ready to pounce on her.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THERE WAS A BOOK ON HOW TO PUT US BACK TOGETHER!" yelled the girls.

"What are you talking about?" asked Nadeshiko confused.

"Ladies, allow me," said Sonic taking the book from Nadeshiko's hand and reading the inside back cover.

"Instructions on Remerging separated Quantum Beings due to Rose's Backfire Curse by MM", said Sonic.

"Hmmm, didn't know that was there," said Nadeshiko getting glares from the girls.

"She's right, she didn't," said Sonic reading an note in the instructions, 'Oh, I don't know why Nadeshiko is reading this book, its rather boring.'

"I though it was rather interesting," said Nadeshiko giving a face.

"You idiots," said Tommy with Sarah by his side.

"So how do we merge back?" asked the girls anxious to get back together.

Sonic slapped his head before he finally got the courage to reveal the 'big secret', "Says we have to merge into Dragon Mistress."

"THATS IT!?" yelled the girls causing most of the students to fall over from shock.

"Sounds like it," said Sonic poking his pinkie in his right ear as Sarah snickered silently.

Home Economics Class...

"Look at Akane go," said one of the girls as Akane rushed between several ovens. She was making cookie dough in one area, adding chocolate chips in another, baking a batch in a third, and using cookie cutters in a fourth.

"Ms Tendo..." said the instructor astonished, "I couldn't even dream of you using one area safely, but FOUR at ONCE?"

"Thanks," said Akane which shocked everyone that she wasn't getting upset. She continued running around and finally finished cutting out a batch of cookies and sliding them into a bag. She was about to go to the oven when she instinctually pulled out a fork and deflected a purple ribbon that came out of the window trying to snatch her cookies.

"What's the Meaning of this, Tendo Akane!" yelled Kodachi sneaking it, "How dare you try and take my Darling Ranma away with your cheap cooking!"

"Cheap?" asked Akane a tad confused.

"You have no right to cook for my fiancé," said Kodachi attempting another ribbon blow.

"I have every right," said Akane calmly as she evaded the ribbon and brought out the next batch of cookies.

"You little wrench," growled Kodachi pulling out her 'metal rod' ribbon and taking a pot shot at Akane.

"Do you mind, you are interrupting class," said Akane slicing the metal rod in half with a butter knife she pulled out shocking Kodachi.

"When did you get so good?" asked Kodachi backing off.

"I'm afraid I don't know what your talking about," said Akane putting in another batch of cookies in a blue sack, "Now would you please leave."

"Very well, I'll retreat for now, but I shall return Tendo Akane," replied Kodachi spreading out black rose petals, "Until than, Ado."

Kodachi than jumped out the window with her usual laughter while everyone stared at the window. Well, everyone but Akane, it seems she finished her last batch giving her 64 cookies total.

"Akane, isn't that too much?" asked on of the girls as Akane put the last batch in another bag.

"You think so?" said Akane.

"Say, what are these three cookies here for?" asked another girl noticing Akane missed some.

"Oh, don't worry about those," said Akane putting them in a green sack.

"Alright girls, Home Ecs is over," said the Instructor.

"Oh boy, here come the girls," said one of the boys standing outside the home ecs as the girls came out. The guys wasted no time in surrounding the girls putting on the charms to get some food. Ranma soon showed up and greeted Akane who had several sacks of cookies in her hand.

"Wow, did you make all those?" asked Ranma.

"Sure did," smiled Akane.

"It is said that a woman knows no true happiness until her cooking is enjoyed by the man who she loves," said Kuno popping out of no where with a fork, "Allow me to try your cooking, Tendo Akane!"

"Give it a rest Kuno," said Ranma, "You already did this one."

"If at first you don't succeed, try try again," replied Kuno, "Or something like that."

"That's ok Ranma," said Akane giving Kuno the green sack, "I already made these cookies especially for him."

"WHAT!?" yelled Ranma.

"Th...The...These cookies just for me?" asked Kuno speechless.

"Yep," said Akane smiling, "Go on, try them."

Kuno promptly ate the three cookies in record time before he gave a bold stand, "These are the best cookies I have ever HAD!" he yelled.

"Yo...You gave Kuno COOKIES?" exclaimed Ranma.

"Glad you liked them," said Akane with a slight grin, "Lets go Ranma."

"Wo, Akane!" yelled Ranma as Akane grabbed Ranma and ran out.

The rest of the students stared for a moment before they glanced back at Kuno to find he wasn't there. It took them a few moments to realize Kuno was now on the floor fast asleep, obviously from the cookies.

"Why did you give Kuno cookies?" asked Ranma.

"I gave him sleeping cookies," laughed Akane, "I figured that was the best way to shut him up for a while."

"How long is a while?" asked Ranma.

"If I did the recipe right, he should be out for the rest of the week," grinned Akane, "That way he won't get in our way."

"Wow," said Ranma not sure if he should be impressed or scared that Akane just pulled a Kodachi.

*SMASH*

"OWW!" yelled Emeral with a nasty bump on her head laying by the sofa in their house.

"Who's bright idea was that again?" asked Rose.

"That would have been Joe's," said Sonic trying to regain his balance.

"I don't understand," said Joe crossing his arms, "Theoretically running into each other at the same time should merge us back together. Perhaps one of us was off timing a tad?"

"NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE," yelled Rose pulling out a Mallet.

"Chill!" said Sonic, "Don't you want to get back together?"

Rose growled for a bit before she put the Mallet up, "So another try?"

"I suppose," said Joe looking at Emeral, "Assuming she's up for it."

Emeral stood up and rolled up her sleeves, "I'll go to hell and back to get back together."

"I can arrange that!" interrupted Kia before she was thrown out of the house.

"OK, on the count of three," started Joe, "One, Two..."

*SMASH*

"What do you suppose there doing in there?" asked Jeremy as he blasted his sister with a very high powered hose.

"Probably trying to get back together," replied Emily, "OK, I had enough."

"OK," said Jeremy turning off the hose and trying to give it to Emily who simply ignored it and went into the house to take a bath, "Hey, what about me?"

*SMASH*

"I think that time I got a concussion," wined Emeral with a blood mark on her head.

"WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING JOE!" yelled Rose grabbing him.

"I don't know!" responded Joe.

Tendo Residence...

"I'm home!" called Akane as she came through the front door. She waited a moment before she realized Kasumi wasn't responding and called out again, "Sister Kasumi?"

"I'm afraid she's come down with an upset stomach," said Nabiki coming into the hall.

"Kasumi?! With an upset stomach?" asked Ranma.

"We're as stunned as you," replied Nabiki, "She obviously made a mistake in her breakfast and made something horribly, yet she still ate it!"

"I wonder what’s wrong with her," asked Akane, "I guess I'll have to cook supper again."

"That would be great," said Nabiki walking off waving her hand.

"Still, isn't it rare for Kasumi to get sick, let alone from her own cooking?" asked Ranma.

"Yea," said Akane as they walked into the living area where Genma-panda and Soun were playing a normal Chess game. Akane than pulled out one of her blue sacks of cookies and sat it on the table, "I made cookies Mr. Saotome, dad."

"Why thank you Akane," said Soun not noticing Genma switching the chess board again.

"Many Thanks," said Genma using a sign not noticing Soun switching the chess board BACK.

"Prepare yourself Tendo Akane!" yelled a voice that could only be Kodachi followed by a barrage of ribbon blows that were deflected by Akane using a fork she pulled out of no where.

"Why are you carrying a fork with you?" asked Ranma.

Akane looked at the fork, "No Clue, but it seems to help me fight."

"Now we Punish!" yelled Shampoo.

"Stay out of this Ran-chan," added Ukyo knocking Ranma into the back of the room with her spatula.

"Would you guys stop," said Akane pulling out a red bag of cookies.

"It is you who needs to stop," said Kodachi sending her ribbon.

Akane dodged the ribbon with speeds that could almost rival Ranma's. As everyone was in astonishment, Akane jumped outside, "If we are going to fight, lets at least fight OUTSIDE?"

"Fine," replied Ukyo as the girls stood at one end of the pond and Akane on the other. The girls stared each other down for a moment before Ukyo, Shampoo and Kodachi jumped into the air for an attack. Akane simply grinned which scared Ranma.

"Tendo School of Anything-Goes school of Martial Arts Final Attack," said Akane holding up her red bag, "Cookie Bombs!"

"COOKIE BOMBS?!" yelled the girls as Akane threw several cookies like Frisbee at them. A moment later a nice explosion followed by a mushroom cloud took place sending the girls out of town.

"Not only as her cooking improved," said Soun standing up impressed, "But she can now channel her once bad cooking into devastating weapons."

"You don't say," gulped Ranma.

Somewhere in the Bathroom

"Why does this place have to be so big?" asked Hikeya in her young white dragon form. She was wondering around hopelessly until she came across a wine cellar. She looked around to see what other paths where available and decided to go down the wine cellar to the other door. Shortly later she found herself right back where she started.

"WHY, Why can't I find Kalshion," she yelled picking up one of the wine bottles with her tail and starting to drink. The camera man than stepped back and focused the camera on the sign which read "Quantum Wine Cellar"

*SMASH*

"Lets take a rest," said Joe finally falling backwards from the impact.

"If I didn't feel so dizzy I would beat you with a mallet," said Emeral leaning on the sofa with stars circling her head.

"I suppose that’s a good thing," replied Joe finally getting his footing and walking over to the TV.

"What are you up to?" asked Sonic who had a feeling what Joe was about to do.

"What else," said Joe smiling pulling out a Playstation II from a hiding compartment by the TV.

"Boys," said Rose walking to the kitchen, "Emeral, want anything?"

"Chocolate!" exclaimed Emeral hopping up as if she never ran into a brick wall.

"Girls," said Joe flipping on the game, "So we take turns per battle?"

"Sure," said Sonic looking at the 'Star Ocean 2: The Second Story' logo pop up.

Back with Hikeya...

"Sorry to say, but she is totally wasted," said the Camera man showing a sleeping Dragon with a lot of wine bottles scattered around her.

"Kal...*Hiccup*...shion..." mumbled Hikeya in her sleep.

"I'll let ya know when she starts moving again," cued the Camera man.

"That's around 80 Points!"

"Damn, how did you do that?" asked Joe astonished at Sonic's quick battle.

"This was one of my favorite RPGs back in the day, so naturally I have more experience in it than you do," grinned Joe.

"Considering my perspective is that of a sixteen year old," groaned Joe, "I hate this memory swap thing."

"Probably why we should work on getting back together," said Sonic as he noticed the girls behind him, "Been watching have ya?"

"So curiosity got to us," grinned Emeral.

"Must have gotten bored after the cat ran away," snickered Joe before Emeral slammed him with a Mallet.

"Still an interesting game," said Rose, "And I think the blue hair girl is rather cute."

"Eh?" said Joe and Sonic at the same time looking at Rose.

"What?" asked Rose.

"You don't RECONIZE HER?" asked Sonic.

"Of course not, I haven't seen her till I came in here and watched you guys," said Rose.

"What about you Emeral?" asked Joe.

"Ditto," replied Emeral.

The two boys than slapped their faces before Sonic realized something, "Yet you know why they should know?"

"You know, that’s a good point, I do," said Joe, "I guess some of their memories went into one or both of us."

"Would you two stop speaking in circles and explain what you are talking about," growled Rose.

"And why should we know that girl?" asked Emeral.

"Maybe because," started Joe.

"YOU TRAINED WITH RENA ON HEALING POWERS!" yelled Sonic.

Tommy's House

"Idiots," said Tommy pouring some Apple Juice in a glass before handing it to Sarah. She just smiled as she took the glass and resumed watching the TV which was showing the gang.

Back with the "Idiots"

"That’s it," said Emeral grabbing Joe by the collar and dragging him to the middle of the room followed by Rose doing the same to Sonic, "We Merge right here, Right NOW!"

"Say Joe," asked Sonic, "Would their anger contribute or hinder our efforts to merge?"

"This is THEM we are talking about," said Joe with a sweat drop on his head, "Totally unpredictable."

"That's comforting to know," said Sonic as they started to run into each other.

*SMASH*

"OW!" yelled Sonic, "That REALLY Hurt."

"That's probably because we bounced off their battle aura's," said Joe pointing to the girls with glowing eyes.

"GET UP YOU TWO!" yelled Rose.

"Shall we play dead?" asked Joe.

"I fear playing dead will really make us dead," answered Sonic.

"What's all the ruckus about," came a small voice.

"Who was that?" asked Rose loosing her battle Aura.

"Hikari and me were taking a long nap when you two woke us up with that huge battle aura," said Kibou flying in and sitting on Sonic's shoulder. Soon Hikari stumbled in and sat on Rose shoulder before she hiccupped.

"Have you two been drinking?" asked Sonic.

"We wanted just a small bit of your blood wine, but we ended up falling into the bottle," replied Kibou.

"So what are you guys up to," asked Hikari followed by a hiccup.

"We're trying to merge to Dragon Mistress to undo my curse," said Rose.

"You probably didn't have much luck, did you?" asked Kibou.

"You're right," said Sonic, "How would you know we wouldn't?"

"We were also separated ya know, so we need to merge together with ya guys," replied Kibou.

The gang stood there for a bit digesting what Kibou had said. Crickets could be heard cricking in the background followed by a bull frog croaking. Finally Sonic slapped his hand on his face and Joe gave an expression as if his life was about to end.

"J...JOE" said Emeral shacking her fists trying her best not to spring on him.

"Lets just try this again," said Rose with a shaky voice.

"On the Count of three," said Sonic, "One, Two..."

Tommy's House

"Damn, you win," said Tommy dropping five 100 Yen coins in Sarah's hands as the TV screen filled with white light.

Back at JERKS

"I suppose it work," said Dragon Mistress looking at her self. A moment later she split off into two separate lights, one yellow, one pink before they materialized into Sonic and Rose.

"We're whole again," exclaimed Sonic, "Even Kibou and Hikari."

"Finally," said Rose before she looked at Sonic and grinned.

"What?" asked Sonic before a Mallet smashed into him.

Tendo Residence the next day

"Kasumi still not feeling good?" asked Ranma sitting down at the table.

"She just needs a few more days of rest," said Nabiki in her school uniform.

"Breakfast," said Akane in her uniform with a 'Piyo Piyo' apron on her as she came in with breakfast.

After breakfast Nabiki grabbed her bag and ran off for School while Genma went off to help Soun brush the front walkway. Happosai soon ran off to inventory his collection leaving Ranma and Akane at the table.

"We better hurry or we'll be late," said Akane putting the dishes on the tray to quickly take over to the kitchen.

"Say, what's this last bowl of Miso soup here?" asked Ranma looking at a bowl still sitting on the table.

"I left that for Sister Kasumi," said Akane.

"How nice of you," said Ranma grabbing his bag, "Ready?"

"Yep," said Akane rushing off with Ranma.

A few minutes later Kasumi came downstairs and looked at Akane's miso soup. She sighed before she picked it up and took it into the kitchen where she threw it away and cooked herself her own Miso soup and Fish. Soon she was back at the table eating her poorly made food while staring outside.

Somewhere between the school and Tendo Residence

"You did another great job on breakfast Akane," said Ranma running on the fence.

"You think so," smiled Akane, "I wonder what I'll make for supper."

"I'm sure it will be great what ever it is," said Ranma hopping off the fence and running along side of Akane.

Things went normal until a kid out of no where hoped from behind a fence and shot a water gun filled with Tsubasko sauce. Ranma looked at his favorite red shirt for a moment before he looked at the kid who stuck his tongue out and ran.

"Come back here you little brat," yelled Ranma before another kid popped out from behind and squired Ranma with a normal water gun changing him into a girl.

"Na na," said the kid before he ran off the opposite direction as the other.

"Since when do kids know about your Jusenkyo curse?" asked Akane as Ranma-chan growled.

"I don't know, but right now I'm going back home to get a new shirt," she said.

"I'll go with you," said Akane.

"No, you go ahead and go to school, you don't need to be late," said Ranma taking off for home.

"Cya in class than," yelled Akane.

It didn't take Ranma long to reach home where he rushed upstairs and grabbed another red shirt for himself. "Stupid kid, squirting me with tsubasco sauce," thought Ranma as he went to the kitchen to get some hot water. After dousing himself real quick he noticed some leftovers sitting on the kitchen counter.

"I don't recall Akane making fish," he thought noting the fish skeleton sitting by a bowl Miso that was only half finished, "Did Kasumi make this?"

"He took out a spoon and took a taste of the Miso soup only to gag on the intoxicating contents and fall down grasping his throat. After a few minutes of trying to breath he got up and looked at the soup, "Kasumi couldn't have made this, its too horrible," he said to himself.

Ranma than went upstairs and knocked quietly on Kasumi's door, "Kasumi, may I speak to you?" he said quietly.

"Come in," replied Kasumi in a weak voice, "Shouldn't you be at school Ranma?"

"I had to come back after some kid blasted me with a water gun filled with tsubasco sauce," said Ranma walking to Kasumi's bed where she laid.

"Oh my," said Kasumi still weak in her voice.

"Kasumi, I have a question for you," Ranma said in a concerned voice, "Did you make yourself Miso soup and fish?"

"Yes I did," said Kasumi in a worried voice, "Why do you ask?"

"I tasted the Miso soup," replied Ranma.

"It was horrible, wasn't it," said Kasumi with gloom in her eyes, "This cold of mine seems to interfering with my cooking skills."

"Why didn't you just eat the soup Akane made for you?" asked Ranma.

Kasumi's eyes widen a tad with hatred before she quickly returned to her normal self, "I felt like having fish," she said smiling.

Ranma, who noticed her expression decided to leave it at that, "OK than, you take it easy now."

"Thanks Ranma," replied Kasumi as he walked outside.

"Could Kasumi's sickness be pure jealousy towards Akane's cooking?" thought Ranma as he shut the door and walked to the living area. He sat down and began to ponder on the events that have unfolded; Akane's sudden cooking ability, Kasumi's odd behavior and sickness, and then her horrible cooking.

"I don't know," he said to himself, "Maybe I should go ask an expert on health..."

Back to Rose's House...

"It feels great to be whole again," said Rose stretching as she came into the Kitchen for Breakfast.

"I still say its more fun with four than two," said Kia giving a grin.

"Don't you ever stop?" asked Rose as Sonic came in with an odd look on his face.

"What’s wrong with you?" asked Emily jabbing for Jeremy's eggs only to find five billion gigawatts.

"Say Rose, did you do anything to the Aura Shards?" he asked.

"No, why?" asked Rose.

"I keep feelings a small presence of the Aura, yet It seems to be coming from everywhere at once.

"Maybe your imagining it," said Rose.

Mount Fuji

"Why do I sense the Aura?" asked DS looking around, "Its coming from everywhere."

Back to Sonic

"Maybe your right," said Sonic sitting down, "Pass the syrup."

"Sure," said Kia passing the syrup just as the phone rang which Rose got up to answer it.

"JERKS residence," she said.

"HEY!" yelled Sonic, "Just because the author uses that, doesn't mean you have to use it."

"Oh hi Mr. Dragon," said Rose throwing a small mallet at Sonic.

"You would think he would learn by now," said Jeremy stealing toast from Emily and breaking his jaw on it.

"What?" said Rose getting their attention, "Sure, we'll be over as soon as we can."

"What was that about?" asked Sonic as Rose came back in.

"Seems Kalshion and Katarina are sick," replied Rose, "At least, he THINKS they're sick."

"What does that mean?" asked Sonic taking a bite out of his pancakes.

"He couldn't explain it, so he wants us to go over there and see of ourselves," answered Rose.

Tofu's Clinic

"Hi Ranma, what can I do for you?" asked Dr. Tofu.

"Hey Doc, I had a question for ya," said Ranma coming into the examining room.

"I'll try my best to answer," replied Tofu.

"Is it possible for someone to get jealous that causes them to get real sick, and possibly cause things they can do real well to go horribly wrong?" asked Ranma.

"Well," said Tofu grabbing a book and flipping through it, "Its rare but there are a few people in the world that suffer from that. They usually are kind hearted and are depended upon a lot. When that depended feeling is taking away, the jealousy they feel towards the person causing a massive depression that starts to physically and mentally hurt them. In some rare cases, its even KILLED them."

"It can be FATAL?" exclaimed Ranma.

"Yes it can, do you know of someone who's having this issue?" asked Tofu a bit concerned.

"Uh no," said Ranma as he quickly dished up a Lie, "Just a research project at school."

"Ahhh, I see, well you better hurry off to school than," said Tofu.

"Thanks doc," said Ranma jotting off.

Near the Dragon Shrine

"Hey, Watch it!" yelled Sonic as two kids rush by with water guns.

"That’s the third set of kids we've seen on their way to school," said Rose a tad curious, "Usually we don't see any."

"Maybe its a hectic day," replied Sonic as they came to the shrine.

"I'm glad your here," said Mr. Dragon when they got to the door, "Please, come inside."

"So what’s going on?" asked Sonic as they were lead to Kalshion's room.

"They woke up this morning with pains all over their body," replied their father, "They've been laying in bed in sweat ever since."

"How you feeling Kalshion," said Rose standing beside his bed.

"I've been better," said Kalshion struggling with the pain.

"I'm not sensing any virus or anything like the last time," said Sonic looking over him.

"I agree, it feels like something is trying to blast out of him," said Rose, "Like he's gaining too much power."

"Go see if Katarina is having the same issue," said Sonic looking over Kalshion.

"On it," said Rose dashing off.

"So any particular places it hurts," asked Sonic.

"Well it was my entire body," said Kalshion taking a big breath to relieve his pain, "But now my teeth hurt more than my body."

"Lets see," said Sonic pulling out a small wooding stick doctors use to check your throat, "Say ahhh."

"Ahhhh," replied Kalshion as Sonic took a look before Kalshion shot out a Dragon Blast from his mouth singing Sonic's face.

"You OK??" asked Kalshion worried.

"Aside from blasting me with a Blue Dragon Blast," responded Sonic shaking the blackness off his face, "You're growing FANGS!"

"WHAT!?" yelled Kalshion before Rose showed up in a panic state.

"Katarina has FANGS," she exclaimed.

"So does Kalshion," replied Sonic, "And an interesting breath."

"And what does that mean?" asked their father.

"I don't know," said Rose, "Maybe their dragon heritage is being affected by a curse or something?"

"Or something..." said Sonic thinking, "Could it be?"

"Be what?" asked Rose.

"Don't you recall that soft feeling of the Aura I felt earlier," said Sonic.

"Oh give it a rest," said Rose, "It would take hundreds of FULL size Dragon Aura's to transform them against their wills. With MM out like a light, there is no one that could even remotely pull off something like that. Besides, I don't feel the Aura."

"Now that you mention it," said Sonic, "Neither do I."

"Well I certainly don't," said Kalshion as the phone rang and Kalshion's father picked it up.

"Rose, its for you," said Mr. Dragon.

"Eh?" asked Rose taking the phone.

"Actually Rose, it would only take a hundred and twenty three in a fifty mile radius of them," said Nadeshiko on the other side before hanging up.

"OK," said Rose a bit disturbed, "When did she learn to do something like that?"

"With MM as her mentor?" chuckled Sonic before receiving a Mallet blow.

Rose tossed the mallet aside and was about to say something when everyone in the room, minus Mr. Dragon, stopped with dreaded looks on their face. It took a minute before Mr. Dragon finally got the nerve to speak up, "What's wrong?"

"HOLY SHIT," exclaimed Rose, "Where did all of THOSE come from?"

"All of those?" asked Mr. Dragon.

"I'm sensing ALOT, emphasis on ALOT, of Dragon Aura's," added Sonic.

Mount Fuji

"Fifty, no sixty, NO Hundred, wait there's another, GAHHH!" yelled DS turning left to right and pulling out some of his hair.

MM's Computer Room

"123 Full Dragon Aura's within a 50 miles radius of the Dragon Shrine have been detected in Nerima," said the Computer.

"I hate it when he does that," said Nadeshiko looking towards MM's room, "How Many in total?"

"Hell if I know, I overflowed my variable length counting them," responded the Computer as a ding sound went off, "PM from Kia."

"What does it say?" asked Nadeshiko.

"Hell is my department," responded the computer.

"How did she learn to do that?" asked Nadeshiko.

Dragon Shrine

"Ummm, guys?" asked Kalshion as blue streaks came down his cheeks while claws grew on his fingers followed by his ears turned pointy and transformed into what could be described as a cross between elf and dog ears with blue fur. To top it off, Kalshion jumped up a bit as something popped below him, soon revealing itself to be a long blue tail.

After a moment of silence, "I think the ears are sort of cute," said Rose forcing a smile.

"Do I ask for a mirror?" said Kalshion.

"No," said Sonic as Katarina in a similar getup came in, "You look very similar to your sister."

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" yelled Katarina.

"I say the massive amount of Dragon Aura's have overloaded the Dragon Heritage in you," replied Rose.

"WELL I CAN'T GO OUT IN PUBLIC LIKE THIS!" whined Katarina.

"Why not? Not like anyone cares, they never complained about a Star Dragon walking around town." said Sonic noticing Rose, Kalshion and Mr. Dragon leaving the room, "Hey, Where are you going?"

"SONIC!" yelled Katarina blasting Sonic with a Dragon Blast smothering the room.

"I had to ask," said Sonic all black blinking his white eyes.

Say, what are those pesky scientists doing?

"Examining the energy signature these gems put out," Scientist One said.

"What are you babbling about?" Scientist Two asked.

"Dunno," Scientist One said. "Just had the urge to say that. At any rate, I can't identify what kind of energy these things are putting out."

"Is there anything similar enough to compare to?" Quin asked, passing a chart to Scientist Two over Scientist Four's head, bumping Scientist Four in the process. Scientist Four shrugged it off and continued to examine his computer screen through his goofy glasses.

"Nothing at all," Scientist Three said. "The database came up empty."

"Damn," Quin said. "The cereal makers claim these things started out as plastic too. Will we ever figure out what they are?"

"Don't know," Scientist Three responded. "By the way, what is the new guy doing?"

"Looks like he is hugging that thing," Scientist One said.

"That's IT! IT CAN WORK!!!" yelled Scientist Four, dropping into an evil laugh. "Soon the world will be MINE!"

"What on Earth is he babbling about?" asked Scientist Two.

"Call Ben," Quin yelled to an assistant.

"Already did sir," the assistant replied, opening the door.

"Agent Prester of the Mad Scientist Special Unit," a man with brown hair wearing a matching coat said as he flashed his badge. "Where is the scientist?"

"Laughing boy over there can't be hard to miss," Quin said, rolling his eyes.

"You can never be sure," Agent Prester said. "Some day one of these types will make something that makes other people laugh like that just to serve as a diversion."

"DON'T GIVE HIM IDEAS!" the other scientists yelled as Agent Prester put the handcuffs on Scientist Four.

"Sorry," Agent Prester said. "At any rate, he seems to be in the early stages of Mad Scientist Syndrome, so he isn't a danger YET."

"Yea, well," Quin said. "Take good care of him."

"Will do," Agent Prester said. "By the way, what is his name?"

"No clue," Quin said. "Ask personnel. This was his first day, and he dived right into his work."

"Thank you," Agent Prester said, dragging the scientist out the door.

Furinkan High

"I wonder what happen to Ranma," said Akane sitting with her friends eating.

"You sure he only went back to change shirts," asked Ukyo.

"Well that and change back to a boy," replied Akane.

Tendo Residence

"What to do," thought Ranma sitting on a tree glancing at Kasumi's window.

"Check," said Soun placing his knight near Genma's kings.

"Do Over," said Genma via a Sign.

"Not this time Saotome," said Soun before he glanced at Ranma, "Son, I know its odd for Kasumi to be ill, but she'll be find with a few days of rest."

"He has no idea," thought Ranma as Genma took the opportunity to eat Soun's knight before he pulled up a sign.

"You aren't trying to switch to Kasumi are you?" said the sign.

"AS IF!" yelled Ranma throwing a small branch he broke off at Genma.

Dragon Shrine

"My beautiful complexion," moaned Katarina looking at her face in a mirror.

"Would you relax already," said Kalshion, "It isn't going to last forever."

"Would you shut up!" yelled Katarina blasting her brother with a dragon blast.

"Now you done it!" yelled Kalshion firing back.

"Aren't they a tad more aggressive than usual?" asked Rose.

"Probably the effects of the aura," said Sonic, "Although I'm not sure there is much of a difference with Katarina."

*BLAST*

"You really should learn to keep you mouth shut," replied Rose looking at Sonic's charred face.

"Bah, I don't think that's possible," said Sonic shacking off the blackness from his head.

"So what should we do with them?" asked Rose.

"Leave them be," said Sonic, "We should focus on where these extra Dragon Auras are."

"I might be of assistance on that," replied Mr. Dragon.

"Really?" Rose said. "Can you sense something about them you haven't told us?"

"Nope," Mr. Dragon said. "I have, on the other hand, seen several young children with necklaces resembling the description of the completed aura."

"WHAT?" Sonic and Rose said in unison. "CHILDREN?"

"Yep," Mr. Dragon said. "Don't know where they got them, though, or if they are even real."

"Point us to the direction of those children," said Sonic grabbing his wife's hand which confused her.

"I believe it was that way," said Mr. Dragon pointing north moments before Sonic and Rose vanished, "Where did they go?"

"Sonic dashed out with Rose the moment you pointed them where the kids were," said Kalshion, "I'm pretty sure Rose was screaming too, but I think they were moving faster than sound."

"WAIT A MINUTE" yelled Rose's voice.

"I guess it just caught up," replied Katarina.

In front of an Elementary School

"Honesty!" yelled Rose brushing her hair, "Any faster and my hair would have flown off."

"So I was in a hurry," replied Sonic noting the school, "I guess school's out."

"Why do you say that?" asked Sonic.

"I dunno," said Sonic, "Perhaps the fact that the windows are broken, part of the school looks like it just went through a game of Battlezone and kids running around wild?"

"What?" replied Rose looking at the school, "Oh, I see your point."

"Coming through gramps," yelled a kid being chased by another with a water gun and a necklace with a blue object attached to it.

"Do I look that old?" asked Sonic pointing to himself.

"Who CARES," yelled Rose, "That kid has an Aura on his neck."

"Oh, right," said Sonic dashing in front of the kid in a blink of an eye and picking him up, "Hold it shorty."

"Hey, Let me go!" yelled the kid as Rose took his gun.

"We just have a question for you," said Rose looking at the kid.

"What do you want old lady," said the kid trying to reach for his water gun.

"OLD LADY!" yelled Rose getting ready to blast the kid.

"Rose, stay on topic," said Sonic.

"Grrr," replied Rose with some smoke coming out of her ears.

"So kid, where did you get that jewel on the necklace?" asked Sonic.

"From my cereal box," exclaimed the kid, "Stupid parents wanted to see what it looked like on me so they forced me to put it on. Now it won't come off!"

"What do you mean it won't come off?" asked Rose.

"Try to take it off, you'll see," said the kid.

"So where's the latch," said Rose looking around the kids neck.

"The latch is that little disc holding the aura," said the kid, "I think its magnetic or something."

"OK than," said Rose yanking on the chain to pull it apart but receiving a nasty shock instead.

"If my dad couldn't do it, what makes you think that an old lady could do it," said the kid finally slipping free and running off after giving a tongue to Rose.

"Why that little brat," said Rose puffing out smoke again.

"So, do you think that kid was telling the truth?" asked Sonic.

"I think the brat was MM himself," said Rose turning around.

"I thought you just said MM couldn't be doing any of this?" said Sonic confused.

"Well I changed my mind," said Rose storming past Sonic.

Sonic gave a look before he quickly caught up to his wife, "Shall we at least CHECK the local grocery store?"

Rose turned her head towards her husband and gave him a look...

Sorry, the Camera man's camera just shattered...lets see what DS is doing.

"Would you GO AWAY!" yelled DS hugging a rock and shivering so hard that the rock was starting to break apart.

Ummm...oh good, we got a backup camera

"Figures, she's GOING towards a grocery store," said Sonic on the top of a telephone pole shivering.

Mandy's Market

"Am I the only one that feels uncomfortable going into this store?" asked Sonic noting the name of the store.

"Like MM is going to make it that noticeable?" asked Rose.

"I dunno," replied Sonic noticing someone walk out with their paper bag which had two M's, one black, one white on it.

"So," said Rose stopping at the cereal isle, "What Cereal do you suppose has it?"

"Lets see, they got Frosted Flakes, Morning Muffins, Lucky Curses, Satan in a Bowl and Jusenkyo Toast Crunch," said Sonic finally picking one up, "Lets try this Rice Crispies."

"Well, what are you waiting for," said Rose, "Open it."

"We have to BUY it first," said Sonic walking up to the crash register and paying for it.

"Oh...yea," replied Rose.

"Lets see," said Sonic taking the cereal box out of the paper bag outside the store. Soon he had the cereal box open and was digging around until he finally found a plastic bag inside. "I think I found something," said Sonic pulling out the bag revealing a Dragon Aura on a necklace chain.

"So the brat was telling the truth," said Rose, "That still doesn't mean MM's not behind it."

"I'll agree," said Sonic, "MM could have set up a time or trigger curse that has activated now."

"Or he could be OUT of his hang over," replied Rose.

"Ok, I wouldn't put that past him," replied Sonic.

"Then again," Rose said. "Why would he do this to begin with? It doesn't make any sense. Couldn't he play with Kalshion and Katarina without going to all this trouble?"

In MM's computer Room

"Little do they know his goal was to mess with them, not the dragons," said Nadeshiko sitting in a leather chair, "And I can't do a thing to warn them."

"All you have to do is reach that phone sitting by the console to your left," said the computer.

"Oh shut up," said Nadeshiko, "I'm GLUED to this chair!"

"I know," said the Computer showing tongues on all the monitors.

"Hey Camera Man, why don't you put that camera down and help me out!" yelled Nadeshiko.

"Sorry," replied the Camera man, "We don't get paid if we interfere with normal operations."

"Paid by Who?" asked Nadeshiko.

"Yours truely," said the man, "MM."

"Damn," said Nadeshiko.
