A blue light surrounded a young Japanese boy with a pigtail.  Sam looked up
right when he heard, "RANMA NO BAKA!"
"Oh boy."  He said as a huge mallet smashed down on his head.

Quantum ½
A Ranma ½ and Quantum Leap crossover.
by RJ


	A door of light opened up and white man about 60 years old walked out.  He
looked around the room and saw Sam lying down on a futon with a towel on his
head.
"Looks like you’ve seen better days."
"Al, where am I?"  Sam asked sitting up.
"Well, the date is May 10, 2000.  Your name is Ranma Saotome.  Your are a high
school student at Furinkan High in Nerima, Japan and…., He hit the small colored
machine in his hand, ..and who is engaged to an Akane Tendo, he hit the machine
again, Ukyo Kuonji, and a Chinese Amazon named Shampoo.  Ohh an Amazon, and….(He
hit the machine again), some girl named Kodachi."
"Al are you kidding?  This guy has four finance’s?  How does that happen?"  Sam
asked standing up and walking over the door.  As Sam continued out to the
hallway he searched for the bathroom.  Al continued to talk.
"Well apparently his father, Genma, engaged him to one of his friend’s daughters
before he was born, That one is Akane.  Then, when he was six his father engaged
him to the daughter of a Okonomiyaki chef, Ukyo Kuonji .  Umm…Shampoo, the
Chinese Amazon, is his fiancee’ because when a man bets a Chinese Amazon by law
she is to marry him. And it says here that the last one, Kodachi, engaged
herself to him."

	Sam found the bathroom and walked inside.  He went over to the mirror and
stared at the face of Ranma Saotome.  A handsome Japanese boy with dark hair and
blue gray eyes  He looked at the pigtail and rubbed his head where the girl with
mallet hit him with.

"So why am I here?"  He asked his hologram friend as he turned on the water.
"Don’t know yet, but there’s something strange here, it says that this kid turns
into a red-headed girl."
"What is he some kind of cross dresser?"
"No…he’s not a cross dress but…"
As Al smacked his machine in his hand, Sam reached down and scooped up a handful
of cold water and splashed his face.  The next thing Sam saw in the mirror was
the tightening of his shirt and a shift in height.  Sam now with shocked eyes
stared at the mirror.  Where before was a handsome black haired young man, now
stared back was beautiful red headed girl.
"Whoa, you are a looker."
"Al, what just happened?"
"Well, as it seems this guy is cursed."
"Cursed?"
"All it says that cold water turns him into girl and hot water turns him back
into a guy.  Apparently his father turns into a panda bear."
"Oh boy, what kind of place did I leap into?"

"Talking to yourself again, Ranma?"  A young women asked walking into the
bathroom.
Sam turned around and looked at the short brown hair girl, "Umm…"
"Her name is Nabiki Tendo, second born, older then Akane." Al said.
"uh hi Nabiki?"
"Gee Ranma, it’s almost if you don’t want to see me."
"No, that’s not it, it’s.. it’s"
"Ranma, Ranma, Ranma, it’s not that I blame you.  Do you have my money?"
"Uh money?"
"Don’t play dumb, even through it comes naturally to you, but if you don’t have
it, you don’t have it."
"Uh, I guess I don’t have it?"
"Well keep in mind every day that your late the price goes up."  She said with a
smile, then walked out of the room.

"Al, does Ziggy have anything else on this guy?"
"Yes, this kid is some kind of a hot shot martial artist.  At six his father
took him on a ten year training trip."
"Ten years?"
"Yeah, oh it also says that this kid not only has four fiancee’s but others are
also trying to kill him."
"Are you kidding?"
"No, so be careful.  I’m going to ask the kid in the waiting room.  Go make nice
nice with the family."
"Hurry up Al."
"Will do."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


	Ranma walked in circles in the white room, around the table like top he woke up
on.  He was wearing a white jumper and he had no idea where he was and what
freaked him out more was when he looked in the  mirror on the wall he didn’t see
himself.  He saw what looked about a forty year old white man with sandy brown
hair and blue eyes.  He was losing his mind, that’s what he thought.  They
finally put him in the nut house.
"Hello! Hey! Is somebody out there!"  He yelled, but there was no answer.
He continued to walk when a door opened on the far wall.  An older white guy
with a cigar in hand came through.
"Wh..who are you?"  he asked getting into a ready position.
"Hey ya kid, everything all right?  Now, now, you don’t need to be afraid.  I’m
not gonna hurt ya."
Ranma said nothing, but looked at the strange man.
"Are ya gonna answer my question?"
"Umm, what was the question?"  Ranma said relaxing his stance.
"Is everything all right?"
"Yeah, I guess considering I have no idea where the hell I am or who you are?"
"All righty then, have a seat."
Ranma crossed his arms over his chest, "No thank you, I’ll rather stand."
"Eh, have it your way."  He said waving his cigar.  "So kid,"
"My name is Ranma Saotome."  He interrupted sternly.
"Yes I know, Ranma Saotome, studies marital arts from the Anything Goes style. 
Only son of Genma and Nodoka.  Engaged to a Akane, Ukyo, Shampoo and a Kodachi." 
Al said, looking up from the machine in his hand.
"Yea, so?"
"Well, Ranma, basically you’re here in the future while my friend, Sam, has
taken your place in your time."
"Why has he taken my place?"
"Simply put, something is going to happen to you that will change your life
drastically."
"Is that a good thing or bad thing?"
Al walked around the confused Ranma.  "That would be a bad thing.  I have to ask
you a question.  What is your worst fear?"
"My worst fear? I don’t know, like death or something?"
"Okay, let me narrow it down a little.  Do you have Gatophobia?"
"Gatowhata?"
"Gatophobia, a fear of cats?"
"Umm…well…"
"Okay, then you won’t mind if I bring in my cat Fluffy in?"  Al said pressing a
button on the hand held computer.  The next thing heard was the door opening and
the sounds "Meows" from right outside.  Ranma’s eyes grew wide and his pigtail
started to raise in fear.
"So are you afraid or not?"  Al asked.
"YES! YES! CLOSE THE DOOR!  CLOSE THE DOOR!"
"Thank you, now that wasn’t so hard?"  Al pushed a button, the mewing stopped
and the door closed.
Ranma collected himself, "Okay, what’s the big deal?"
"Sorry kid, just had to make sure.  Why don’t you make yourself conformable, can
never tell how long you’ll be in here."
Ranma took a seat on the white table top, "Ah man, nobody’s gonna believe this."
As Al began to leave he turned and said, "No they won’t."
"What do you mean?"  Ranma asked.
"Because you  won’t remember."
"Huh?"  Ranma asked, but Al walked out of the white room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	Sam walked down the stairs of the house.  He still had no idea why he had
leaped into this boy and he just knew it was going to get stranger.  He heard
voices so he decided to head that way.  Sam walked into the dinning area. 
Sitting at table was an older looking man with a black mustache reading a
newspaper.  The girl named Nabiki, who talked to a few minutes ago.  Another man
wearing a white cloth on his head and glasses.  Then sitting, with a seat in
between her and the man wearing glasses was the girl who hit him before.   Sam
reluctantly sat down in the empty seat between the two.  As he sat a slightly
older girl came from the kitchen carrying something that smelled good.
"Oh, Father, your friend Mr. Yoshi called."
"Thank you Kasumi, I will call him after dinner."
Kasumi started to dish out  the meal and hand them out.  The man next to Sam,
who he figured to be Ranma’s father Genma, dug right in.  Then he was handed a
plate.  Sam simply put it down and began to eat.  Nothing that a normal human
being would do at dinner, but this is Ranma.  If he wasn’t shoving food down his
throat it usually meant he was sick.
"Ranma are you feeling well?"  Kasumi asked in a motherly tone.
"Yeah I’m fine."  Sam answered.  He looked up and noticed that everyone was
staring at him. "What?"  he asked, but nobody answered.  Suddenly a squeal was
heard outside.
"Oh P-chan."  Akane said getting up and going out side.  "There’s my cutie pie." 
She said coming back to the table with a small black pig in her arms.  Sam
looked at the pig and how it cuddled up to the girl, but he turned back to his
dish and continued to eat."
"Ranma?"  Nabiki asked.
"Yes?"  He said looking up.
"Aren’t you going to do something."  She said quietly.
"Umm, sure."  Sam extended his hand and patted P-Chan on the head.  "Nice pig."
Then went back to eating.  Everyone stared at Ranma, even Ryoga was shocked.
"Akane I think you hit him to hard this time.  He’s gone nuts."  Nabiki stated.
"What?  No I’m fine."  Sam said.
"But…"
Just as Nabiki was going to rebuttal a loud crash was heard in the back yard. 
Seconds later a purple haired Chinese girl holding a white box ran through the
door.
"Aiyah!"  she yelled. "Shampoo bring food for husband."
"Oh no you don’t sugar!"  A long brown hair girl with a giant spatula strapped
to her back followed.  "Ranma honey is going to eat my cooking!"
"Huh?"  Sam said, but didn’t have time to react.  The two girls clomped on to
each of his arms trying to feed him.
"Here eat this, you like."
"NO way!  Here."
"Oh boy."  Is all Sam could say.

      Akane looked over at Ranma in disguise.  "If he wants to have them hanging
on him, that’s fine with me."  She thought as she feed P-chan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	Ryoga was happy, he was in the arms of the girl he loved and Ranma was
preoccupied with Shampoo and Ukyo.  He looked over at Ranma and laughed to
himself.  "Soon Akane I will show you how much I love you."  He thought.

	A door of light opened up in the dinning room and Al stepped out with a smoking
cigar in his mouth. Ryoga’s eyes went wide.  Was he seeing things?  Was this a
ghost.
Al went over to Sam who was struggling from being torn apart.
"Ohh…this reminds me of the time I dated the Carslon twins, Jan and Pam.  Ah
those two could do this thing with their tongues…"
"Al."  Sam whispered and gave him a look.
Now Ryoga was confused, more so then normally.  He saw the man in the room, but
nobody else did, except for Ranma.  Ryoga couldn’t take it anymore, something is
up.  So he did what he could do, he squealed.
"BEWW BEWWW BEWWW!"  He struggled in Akane’s arms.
"P-chan?  What’s wrong?"
"BEWWWW!"  He jumped from her arms and ran towards to the man.  He charged but
went right through him.  Now he was freaked.  He must be a ghost.
"Hey what’s up with the pig?"  Ukyo asked.

"Hey Sam I didn’t know they had a pet pig.  Hey piggy piggy. You know Sam I’m in
the mood for some bacon now."
"BEWW BEWW BEWW BEWW BWEEEEEEWWWW!!!!"
"Hey I think he understood me, do you think he can understand English."
"Al, go."  Sam muttered in English.
"What did you say Ranma dear?"  Ukyo asked.
"Errr, nothing." He replied in Japanese
"Okay Sam I’m going to go.  Meet me in the Ranma’s room."
Sam just nodded.

"What the hell is going on?"  Ryoga asked himself.  "Why was this guy calling
Ranma Sam, and how come Ranma could hear him?  I have to go change."

	Sam tore his arms away from the two girls.  "Umm I have to go to the bathroom." 
He got up and went to his room.  He close the door behind him and wiped his
forehead  and released a "Phew!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ahh Sam how could you resist those girls?"  Al asked.
"Al, tell me you have something?"
"Ah, but of course."
"Okay why am I here?"
"Ziggy says that Ranma ends up in a mental intuition and never gets out.  As a
result Akane marries some guy named Kuno.  She becomes so depressed that she
kills herself.  Ranma’s father also goes into a depression.  That Chinese Amazon
and her Chinese friend Mouse, who is love with her,  end up deported.  That
Kodachi chick ends up trying to break him out of the nuthouse and ends up there
herself and nothing is known about Ukyo girl."
"Okay so what happens to cause him to end up in a institution."
"Well, Ranma is extreme Gatophobic."
"Cats?"
"Yea, cats.  Anyway tomorrow sometime in the afternoon a bunch a science geeks,
who are some real geeks."
"Al."
"Anyway, they have this thing for Akane, which half the school does.  Did you
know that she used to fight off most of the boys because if they beat her in
combat, then they could date her.  That Kuno guy made sure of it."
"That’s crazy if she wanted to date them, why didn’t she just date them?"
"Well, that Kuno guy would beat the living crap out of them."
"Oh, but what do these geeks have to do with Ranma."
"Since they want Akane, they decided to get Ranma out of the way.  So they get a
bunch of cats and cause Ranma to be lock in a room with them.  The walls and
door were reinforced so he couldn’t get out.  Needless to say he went into a fit
and never recovered."
"But if Ranma is some kind of hot shot marital artist, shouldn’t he be able to
break down the door even if they were reinforced."

"Ahh, now there is the key.  We think he is drugged before hand and that results
in him not being functional.  Hell he was probably so drugged up that the cats
must of seem huge to him and freaky.  (* Al laughs*) Reminds me of the 60’s."
"Al."  Sam said with a disapproving look.
"Hey we all did a little experimenting
"Anyway, avoiding the drugs I can handle, but what if one of those rivals you
spoke about before comes after me, I mean Ranma.  I know martial arts, but style
is going to be different, aren’t they going to notice?"
"Yes, they will, so you will have to avoid a fight. Try your best."
"I’ll have to."
"Okay, I’m going to go."  Al said as he opened the white door.
"Hey Al?"
"Yeah Sam?"
"I didn’t know I could speak Japanese."
"Yea, and French, Spanish and of course English. Oh by the way that will come in
handy for tomorrow’s test."
"Test?"
"Yea, they have a English Language test first period tomorrow, Don’t give him a
perfect score, just a nice passing grade."
"Will do Al."  Sam smiled as Al walked through the white glowing door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	Ryoga wondered the hall of the Tendo’s upstairs.  He looked at the floor boards
with growing anger. "Damn it Saotome, where are you!"

"I’m right here."  Sam said walking up behind the bandanna wearing boy.
"Okay Ranma, just what is going on?"  Ryoga said grabbing Sam collar  on the red
Chinese shirt."
"Uh, nothing is going on."
"Okay then, are you going to deny at some weird old man was talking to you
downstairs?"
Sam tried to keep the look of question on his face.  He couldn’t give away the
fact that he leaped into Ranma’s life. "I have no Idea what your talking about."
"Ahhhh!  You do to!  You heard it when the old man said he was in the mood for
bacon!"
"I really don’t know what your talking about.  You probably dreamt it or
something."
"AHHH!!! I DID NOT!"  Ryoga yelled taking a swing at Sam.
	Luckily Sam ducked just in time.  Ryoga’s fist ended up embedded into the wall.
"Ranma prepare to DIE!"  Ryoga bellowed and went after Sam again.  At the same
time Al popped up and witnessed the display of punch and dodge.
"Al, help me."  Sam mouthed.
	Al looked at his hand held computer and pressed a few buttons.  "Okay
buddy-boy, lead him into the bathroom."
"…?"
"Trust me Sam, get him into the bathroom and splash some cold water on him."
"Cold water?  You mean…"
"RANMA! STOP ACTING LIKE A GIRL AND FIGHT ME!!"
	Sam ducked and blocked as hard as he could, leading the angry teen into the
bathroom.  A few more steps and he would be close enough to the bucket, which
held just enough water to throw at him.  Sam dodged another right hook and went
for the bucket.  Al quickly departed from the scene by stepping into the
hologram door.  Sam throw the bucket towards Ryoga.  Causing water to go all
over, even onto himself.
	Now in the bathroom stood a out of breath wet red haired girl and one pissed
off black pig.  Ryoga growled at Ranma and started to bit her leg.
"Ouch!  Stop that!  Hey Stop!"  Sam said grabbing the pig by the bandanna.
"So that explains a lot, your P-chan.  Huh?"  Sam questioned.
"Ranma of course he’s P-chan, who’d else did you think  it was, Ryoga?"  Akane
said walking into the bathroom
	Ryoga’s eyes flew open hoping to the gods she didn’t know.  "Oh, God Please
don’t know!!!"  Ryoga yelled in his head.
"Now, stop teasing my little P-chan.  What did you do to poor Ryoga.  Were you
teasing him again?"
"Ummm.."
"Is that all you have to say?  Honestly, why don’t you tell Ukyo and Shampoo to
go home, It’s late and we have school."  Akane said turning her back and walking
out with a relieved pig in her arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	The sun trickled in through the window as if it was flowing down from a stream. 
The curtains swayed softly in the morning breeze.  Sam slept peacefully until a
bucket full of iced cold water came crashing down on him.
"AAHHHH!!!!"  Sam screamed.
"Come on Ranma.  What? Did you forget about your morning sparing session?"
The soaking wet girl stared blankly at the bald man.
"Let’s go, change back and meet me outside."  He said handing him a kettle of
hot water.

	Sam studied the man in front of him.  He was tall, bald and loud.  "How did
this kid manage to have a normal childhood?"  Sam thought.  "No, there is
nothing normal about this whole situation.  I have been in some weird spots, but
a sex changing martial artiest, definitely tops the cake."
"Ready or not boy!"  Genma yelled starting his attack against his son.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	Nabiki watched the display in her back yard, like every morning Ranma and his
father would spar.  However, this time it was different.  Ranma wasn’t as cocky
and wasn’t attacking.
"What’s wrong with you boy!"
"Nothing is wrong."  Sam replied dodging a kick to the gut.

	Al popped in and walked right in-between the two fighting. "Whoa!  I think I’ll
step over here. Hey Sam!  You are gonna have to fight back, or they are going to
think something is wrong."
Sam nodded, knowing he had to or it would blow his cover.  He took a deep breath
and study the movement’s of Ranma’s father.  He saw a pattern in how he was
attacking and went in to attack.  To Sam’s surprise, this boy’s body was agile
and fast.  He somehow manage a back flip kick, one where he never performed in
his life. The change of attack throw Genma off, causing to be kicked again and
landing into the koi pond.  Out emerged a growling panda that sneered at Ranma
and went inside.
	Sam stood there amazed.  "How did I do that Al?"
"Well, apparently you have picked up some of the kids ability’s"
"Yeah, no kidding."

"Akane why is Ranma out there talking to himself?"  Nabiki asked.
"I have no idea?  He’s been acting strange the past day."
"I think you really did hit him to hard last time."
"hhmmmm…"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Remember, beware any familiar food. Keep an eye on your own lunch bag.  You
will have
  be on your wit’s end.  Don’t get drugged."
"Will do Al."  Sam smiled.
"See you later Sam."  Al said opening the door and stepping through.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	"Lunch time.  Thank goodness.  This Ranma kid has some strange life.  Besides
Ryoga, a guy named Kuno came after me this morning.  He was easy to beat, just
one kick and he was down.  But, trying to avoid those two girls, Ukyo and
Shampoo, it has been interesting.  Not to mention trying to talk to Akane.  I
don’t know why, but I have a feeling she is more important to this kid then the
rest.  However, her tempter could use a little improving."  Sam thought to
himself as he ate the lunch Kasumi had packed for him.  He didn’t eat anything
that was given to him, he just throw it out without anyone noticing.  He
couldn’t afford for the science geeks to think he wasn’t drugged.  So he started
to acted affected.  Sam began to nod his head closed as if he sleepily, kind of
what you do in a boring class.  Not five minutes after he began "acting"  the
science geeks jumped him.  He tried not to fight to hard, but just enough to
convince he was Ranma.
	The geeks grabbed Ranma and gagged him.  They dragged him over to the closet of
the science lab and throw him in. As Sam was tossed into the small room, he
heard the sounds of clicking, which could only mean locks, geek laughter and
sounds of foot steps running away.  One of the geeks, Herman, clumsily ran into
the counter were a Bunsen burner was heating a test tube, from the class before. 
A student must of left it on in the last classs.  Not knowing what he knocked
over, Herman ran, for he didn’t want to be in that room when Ranma broke free.
The substance spilled conveniently leaving on a trail to the Oxygen tank next
the counter.
(Author jumps in and justifies this last paragraph:  If you have a better way
for the lab to blow up then by all means jump in.)
Sam ripped the gag of his mouth and hear the familiar cry of the cat, "meow’s."
"Okay Al, where are you?"  Sam said brushing himself off.
"Right here."
"Okay Al, how do I get out of here."

	The blue flame of the Bunsen burner heated the surface of the counter top where
it fell.  Unfortunately the test tube that it was heating also fell over causing
the flammable substance to come in contact with the flame.  In seconds the
science room was filled with smoke.
"Uh….Sam go duck and cover in the far corner."
"Why?"
"There is going to be an explosion."
"Oh boy.  Sam went in the corner of the closet and tucked himself into a ball. 
Just in time to hear the huge roar or the blast.

	The third floor science room blew up, causing glass shards to fall to the
school grounds.  Students screamed as the flames violently waved out the window. 
Akane watched, along with the other students, as the science room burned away.
"Oh shit man!  That wasn’t supposed to happen."
"What are we going to do?"
"Nothing, He’s Ranma, he’ll get out."
"Yeah, but his drugged."
"Oh yea….oh well."
Akane over heard the conversation of the science club and it began to register
that Ranma was inside the school.   She ran up to the group and grabbed Herman
by the shirt.
"Where is Ranma?" She demanded.
"…"  Herman said nothing.
"Where is HE!"
"He’s in the closet in the science room."
"Why is he drugged."
"…"
"WHY!"
"Because we need him to be weak so he couldn’t get away from…."  Herman trailed
off.
"FROM WHAT!"
"From the cats."  Herman weakly said, avoiding Akane’s eyes.
"Oh my God!"  Akane let go of the geek’s shirt and ran into the building.  She
could hear the sounds of the fire trucks approaching, but she had to get to
Ranma before it was to late.

"Sam!  You alright?"
"Yeah Al, just a little shaken.  *Cough* Cough*  "Oh on, smokes leaking in.  The
fire is close to the door." Sam said as he felt the wood.
"Sam, here!  You can climb out this way.  Al pointed the ventilation shaft above
his head.
"Better then the alternative." Sam said knocking the screen out of the way and
hoisting  himself up.  "Oh wait."  He said jumping back down.
"Sam what are you doing."
"I forgot something."  Sam said picking up the two cats and lifting them to the
vent. Then picked up the rest. "Now I can go."
	Sam jumped up and crawled through the metal shaft.  He tried to avoid the hot
spots, indicating where the fire was.  The cats followed Sam as if he was their
mother. Sam found a good spot to jump and landed safely on the ground.
"Okay we just need to get out of here."  He said picking up the cats.
"Uh oh Sam!"
"What!"
"History is changing.  It’s say here that Akane dies in this fire."
"What!"
"She must of found out that Ranma was trapped and came to help out."
"Al, go find her."
"Gushy!  Position me on Akane.  NOW!"  Al disappeared and reappeared right
outside the science room.  Akane laid unconscious on the floor.  The smoke was
starting to engulf her.
"Gushy! Center me on Sam!"  Al reappeared in front of Sam who was in the process
of bringing the cats to the window.  "Sam!  Akane is right out side the science
room, you got to hurry!"
"Right!"  Sam kicked in the window and throw the cats out.  hoping they would
end up in the tree below.  He looked at Al who had a panic look.  "Okay take me
to her."
Al led the way as Sam followed.  Seconds later Sam found Akane’s passed out
body.  He scooped her up and ran for the stairs.  The flames have taken over
most of the wing, which didn’t give him much room to carry a body through
unharmed. Sam was beginning to panic.  All his exits were blocked and he was
three stories high.
"Sam over here!" Al yelled pointing at a window.
"What? No you got to be crazy."
"Sam, look there is a pool down there, just like the high dive."
"This is nothing like the high dive, but choice do I have.  The fire is getting
more out of control."  Sam opened the window and stood on the ledge.  He stared
at the ground, heard the people yelling and fire sirens screaming.  He pushed
his legs off and jumped.
"OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYY!"

************SPLASH**************

	Al frantically yelled Sam’s name as he searched the pool.  A crowd heard
Ranma’s voice yelling when he jumped out of the third story window and they
started to gather around the pool.
	Sam broke the surface of the taking in a deep breath.  He grabbed Akane and
brought her to the side of the pool.   He dragged himself, Akane’s body out of
the water.  The people watched as the red headed girl laid the youngest Tendo on
the payment.
"Akane! Can you hear me?"  He yelled as he checked her pulse.
Al came up next to Sam and looked at the small hand held computer.  "Ziggy say’s
their is a less then fifty percent chance she will live."
	Sam wasn’t listening to Al, he was to busy checking if Akane was breathing.
"Damn it."  Sam tilted Akane’s neck back and began to pump her chest.
"One one thousand. Two one thousand. Three one thousand. Breath."  He said as he
gave CPR to the young girl. "Come on, come on."  He said as he continued.
	The crowd grew closer in, wanting to see what would happen.
"Ziggy say’s the percentage is dropping….No wait it’s raising.  Keep it up Sam."
"Come on Akane, breath…."  He said taking a deep breath and administering mouth
to mouth.  He waited a second and Akane began to cough.  The relief that washed
over Sam was incredible.  Akane struggled to sit up and dryly said, "Ranma."
	With a relief laugh Sam took Akane in his arms, or the arms of the body he
leaped into and hugged her.
"Oh God, I thought I was going to lose you there."
"Ranma?"  Akane said pulling back to look into the deep blue eyes of Ranma.
"Ranma, the cats? How come your not…?"  She was cut off by Sam.
"Don’t worry about it, I think it was a one time deal.  I ‘m just glad you’re
all right."
Sam helped Akane up as the crowd gathered around Akane, hugging her and talking
about what happened.  Sam walk off to the side so he could talk to Al.

"Okay Sam, looks like you did it then."
"What happens to Ranma and to her."
	As Al started talking, somebody handed Sam a cup of hot water.  He dumped it on
his head felt a the change take place.
"Well, Ranma ends up becoming a Tokyo’s Martial Arts Champion and then goes on
teaching at the high school. He never marries"
"What about Akane?"
"She ends up marrying a guy from college, but she ends up divorcing him and
comes back to run her family’s dojo."
"And the others?"
"They all end up pretty happy."
"I think I can make two of them much more happier."
"What do you mean Sam?"
"When I was looking for clothes to change into I cam across a opened journal,
that  expressed some of Ranma’s feelings."
"What are you going to do?"
"Watch."  Sam smiled at Al and started to make his way to Akane.
"Akane."
"Ranma."  She said trying to push throw the people.  Sam reached her and put his
hands on her arms.  "Akane."
"Ranma."  they stared into each other eyes, not knowing what to say.
"Go on Sam.  Ziggy says the odds of them ending up together are 95.8 percent."
"Akane."  Sam brought Akane into his arms and hugged her again.  As she pulled
back slightly he quickly said,  "Akane, I don’t ever want to lose you. I love
you."
"Oh Ranma".  Akane said as her eyes began to fill with tears.
"You did it Sam!  Ranma marries Akane after college, they have four children
together.  They end up running the dojo together, and get this Ranma becomes The
World Champion in the Worlds Marital Art Tournament.
	Akane brought her lips closer to Sam’s and kissed Ranma.
"Say good-bye Sam."
	Sam smiled as the blue light engulfed him again.  He was off to another time
and place to help lives of people he didn’t know.  That was his mission, he’s
project, the Quantum Leap.
