I like Vandread, but I want to flesh it out more. I think I'll work on that, and do something different from my normal style of writing, so I won't include any Ranma at all.

(Ranma APPEARS)

Eh, well, old tricks are the best tricks, as they say. Why not go the other direction, and make him even more powerful than I've ever bothered to before? Yeah, that'll work.

(It DOESN'T)

Ranma

Even I know I'm nothing like the character I'm named. How about we call me something else?

Sounds like a plan.

(Ranma becomes 'SLADE')

Entire Cast

We love you, Slade, you totally-non-SI person, you!

(They DO)

THE END

Readers

We should be so lucky.

(They AREN'T; they must witness the firepower of the fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL sequel)
