And now... an Anime Fairy tale for the 90's:

Today we bring you:

"Akane Tendou and the three Saotomes."

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away. There was a teenage 
girl called Akane Tendou.
One day, Akane decided to take a walk in the woods. Unfortunately, 
she ended up losing her way. As she searched and searched and walked 
and walked, Akane found a dojo and decided to go inside.

"Hello? Is there someone home?" Akane inquired as she opened the door.

As she gathered enough courage to step inside, Akane realized, that 
indeed, no one was home.

Up ahead, there was a table where three bolls of ramen were set. 
One was big, the second was medium and the third was small.
Since Akane was hungry, she decided to help herself. 
The first one was too hot, the second too cold, but the third one 
was alright, so she ate it.

Once she finished eating, she went to sit on a couch. 
The first one was too hard, the second was too soft, but the third 
one was alright, so she sat on it and watched some T.V to kill some 
time.

As time passed, Akane began to feel drowsy, so she went to another 
room and tried out the different futons that were in there.
The first one was too hard and smelled as if an animal had been 
sleeping in it. The second was too soft once again. But the third 
was alright, so she lied there an feel asleep.

Not long after Akane fell asleep, the three residents of the dojo, 
Genma, Nodoka and Ranma Saotome, came back from their stroll. Once 
inside their home, they noticed something was amiss.

"Someone tasted my ramen." said papa Saotome.

"Someone tasted my ramen too." said mama Saotome.

"Hey!" Ranma snapped "Who's the jerk who ate my ramen?"

As the three of them went towards their respective chairs, they 
noticed something else.

"Someone sat on my couch." said papa Saotome.

"Someone sat on my couch too." said mama Saotome.

"Someone sat on my couch AND left a bunch of popcorn all over it." 
said Ranma.

Getting more curious, and no less concerned that someone broke 
into their house, the three Saotomes went to their respective rooms 
to find more clues.

"Someone slept in my futon." said papa Saotome.

"Someone slept in my futon too." said mama Saotome.

"There's a girl sleeping in my futon!" said Ranma.

As the two parents went into their son's room, they noticed that, 
indeed, there was a girl sleeping there.
Genma and Nodoka immediately cornered their son.

"Ranma!!" shouted Genma, "I can't believe my own son sneaked a girl 
into his room to have sex with!!"

"My son, such a manly boy." said Nodoka happily. "You finally made it 
to third base and became a man."

"But I... but I..." tried to explain Ranma.

"Tell me, boy." began his father. "Tell me that at least you DID use a 
condom!!"

"But I didn't..." said Ranma.

"You didn't use a condom???" exclaimed her mother, completely shocked. 
"Ranma, how could you?? Now she'll be pregnant for sure!"

"But I didn't do anything!!!" yelled Ranma.

"Then why is she sleeping in you futon??" her mother countered.

"Don't you think you're going to abandon this girl with a baby on 
the way, young man!" papa Saotome declared. "Tomorrow morning I'll go 
to see this girl's father so we can engage you both, to compensate for 
the damage."

"At least like that, honor shall be satisfied." commented mama Saotome.

And so, they lived happily ever after... The End.
