Chapter Text
Yet another night at the Tendou Dojo, yet another failed attempt by Akane to create something edible. Even with Kasumi and Nodoka both attempting to help, it still had turned into a complete disaster and due to Akane’s lack of talent all of the food would not be suitable for human consumption, even the rats had been conditioned to avoid the Tendo dojo due to how often Akane attempted to cook.
Of course the poor sod known as Ranma Saotome was the only one forced to eat the toxic food, ending up with him vomiting and then receiving a mallet to the face. As he, now a she, due to hitting the koi pond, returned the rest of the occupants were discussing takeout options, specifically avoiding the Nekohanten and Ucchans.
In the end they had settled for Indian, while Ranma had used a kettle to change back to male form and Ranma was given the long list of food items to order, because everyone else were suddenly busy. Nothing new really, he usually was the one ending up with all of the boring tasks.
As he picked up the telephone he heard a voice in the other end. “Goddess Relief Hotline. A representative will be over in just a second to grant you your kami-sama approved wish.” Weird, he hadn’t even dialed anything yet.
Suddenly the phone started glowing and he saw a woman look like she somehow flowed out of the form and became a normal full-sized woman, a rather tall beautiful woman with lightbrown hair, in a white dress and with a blue tunic.
“Greetings, my name is Belldandy. I shall be your assigned Goddess for your wish. You can wish anything, but wishing for others dead or forcing them to love you are big nonos,” the Goddess explains, making Ranma stare at her.
“So you can cure Jusenkyo curses?!?” Suddenly the martial artist saw an opportunity. Not that he really hated the curse, but it was a constant temptation. In the beginning he’d refused anything feminine, but from then it had been a slippery slope. And these days he felt comfortable in the dresses he had used as disguises and didn’t feel as disgusted as he knew he should when he flirted with Ryoga. Becoming a full guy again could prevent him from continuing on that slippery slope.
“That is a possibility, Ranma,” the Goddess answered. “One of many, but you only get one wish, so choose wisely.”
“Uhm… I wish… Uhm…” Maybe there was a better wish, I mean it wasn’t really that bad once in a while being a girl, and he could wish for other things. Becoming the most powerful martial artist, definitely an option, though he was probably that already. So many choices…
“Oh my! You should make the wish so you could stop being so unmanly and then you could start making grandbabies, son,” his grandbaby obsessed mom, Nodoka said with a giggle. Only to be interrupted by his greedy father. “No, son, you should wish for a lot of money. Lots and lots of money. A billion. No, 10, 100, 1000 billion yen! I’d be set for life, we’d be set for life, Soun!” Which only caused to nod and smile.
“Oh come on! Stop,” Ranma muttered. “Why do you always have to do this?” He lets out a sigh, not really thinking too much about his next words. “I just wish I had parents that actually supported me and loved me for who I am, not what I can do for them.”
Suddenly Belldandy started glowing and exclaimed “Wish granted,” making Ranma gape. “No, that’s not…” he started, only for the entire world to suddenly go white.
