The Martial Arts Family Vacation Challenge
by Juliet Carnell
based on Ranma ½ by Takahashi Rumiko
Preface
This story takes its inspiration from my short story ‘Spirit Walk’ and is a direct follow-on to my story ‘Martial Arts motherhood Challenge’ which you can find elsewhere on this site. This one picks up right after the birth of Ranma's daughter Ranko-chan and follows the Saotome family's adventures while visiting America.
I make no apologies for the pairings mentioned in this story. Takahashi-sensei made it pretty clear throughout the series just who was going to wind up with whom and I have simply taken her lead. It’s a conservative approach, but I’m definitely more interested in telling a story here than satisfying fantasies.
