Opening shot of the Tendo Dojo in a peaceful morning... NOT!

"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU HENTAI FREAK!!!!" "But Ranma, don't you want to be nice to an old man who may die before you see him again? I'm going all the way to Nemesis..." "Good!! Why don't you just stay there?!" "Please Ranma, model my new panties?" Just then Akane comes in... "HEY!!!!!!!! THOSE ARE MINE!!!!!!!!!!" "No, mine!!" "MINE!!!" "MINE!!"

"Akane Tendo..." the bickering is interrupted by Kuno's appearance at the door "I've come to profess my undying love for you. Never fear, my love, no matter how long I'm away from you... you will always be able to watch me on the tv!"

Akane kicks Kuno in the face.

And so, we've met our first two cast members...

The scene then changes to Capsule Corp of the future. "Are you ready to go honey?" "Coming Mom!" Trunks comes scrambling down the stairs and there is a vast shattering sound of millions of hearts breaking as their owners sigh and fall in love while they watch Trunks appear on tv. When they open the front door we're treated to the spectacle of a crowd of young women trying to get a last look at the hottie that saved their timeline from the androids. They have signs and banners that say things like "I *heart* Trunks" and about half of them faint as Trunks walks outside. The other half proceed to try to rip his clothes off as he and Bulma attemp to make their way through the crowd of horny teens. A large sweat drop appears on Trunks' face as he finally makes it to the time machine in, well, his trunks... He hugs Bulma goodbye and she tells him she's sure he'll meet plenty of nice girls on Nemesis who won't see him as a sex object. Which is really funny considering that we then cut to a scene of Mimete preparing to leave the Witches 5 lab.

"I auditioned for the Real World because I've always wanted to be a star... I'm a beautiful , intelligent witch, and I think anyone would be thrilled at the oportunity to watch my every move on tv..." she says in a voice over "Plus, those guys from Sailormoon R were cute... no pure hearts to steal though. Oh well, no one's perfect"

"Hey, SNAIL LADY!!! Get your fat butt down here and drive me to the spaceport!"

"I don't know why I'm even bothering... you killed me,you little bitch!!"

"Aww... you just just wanna be near a star, that's all..." Mimete seems to be ignoring the dirty looks Eudial gives her.

And so, one by one, we meet them all: James and Jesse hug and cry and James promises when he gets back he'll Jesse's hair. Kusanagi gets an assignment handed to her cause she'll be an undercover cop investigating smuggling into Nemesis (evidently the Ayakashi sisters are easy breezy cover girls and Esmeraude deals in cake). Finally, Ami tells Serena to not forget to study while she's on The Real World, while Serena deosn't listen and instead freaks out over how Darien will forget her as soon as she's gone. He of course assures her he loves her. Then, in a scene strangely reminiscent of 90201 of yore, as Serena leaves towards the faraway land that will be her home for the next few months and where she'll learn to smoke, Darien and Rei walk home together while planning out their summer at the beach club.

Serena and Mimete "run into" each other in the spaceport. No, they do NOT become best friends. Mimete blames Serena for her death and they spend the whole trip fighting. They're still fighting when Nemesis comes into view. "Skank" "Bitch" they mutter as the nemesian taxi they took at the spaceport lets them off in front of a cool townhouse in Blackwich Villge... and then the time machine lands. Their mouths fall open as Trunks steps out (wearing clothes once again, I might point out).

Thanks to his sharp saiya jin genes, Trunks doesn't notice the drool threatening to flood the street. "Hi, I guess you're two of my housemates?" he says politely (because Mirai Trunks had Gohan, not Vegeta, as father figure, therefore he lacks the proper attitude with which to treat these two). His two housemates stare at him stupidly."I'm Trunks", he says somewhat perplexed.

Mimete finally snaps out of it "I'm Mimete, VERY nice to meet you. Trunks."

Serena frowns *cough*she's*coughcough* WITCH!!! *COUGH* steals pure hearts! *cough* Trunks stares at her "Excuse me?" "I'm Serena!" Mimete rushes forward "She has a boyfriend!!!" Serena glares at her, Mimete sticks her tongue out at her as she takes Trunks' arm and steers him towards the house "My my, do you work out, Trunks?" "Constantly, cause I'm a fighter, actually, how did you guess?" he responds innocently.

Little note from me as I watch: NO, TRUNKS IS NOT STUPID!!!!!!!!! He's just a sweet, innocent guy who doesn't really have much experience with girls... other than android girls on destructive sprees, that is. He certainly has never encountered the likes of these two.

Serena walks in and sulks, and decides to check out the rooms. There are two doubles and a triple. One of the doubles has huge king sized beds, its own bathroom, a walk in closet and an entertainment center. She grins and puts her bag on one of the beds "What are you doing?" Mimete asks (miraculously she's alone, not drooling all over Trunks) "Picking a room. What's it look like?" "No! This is MY room! Mine and Trunks'!!" "No, I was here first! ... but Trunks can have the other bed if he wants. YOU can go to the crappy triple!"

"WHAT?!! THIS TRUNKS PERSON IS NOT HAVING THE OTHER BED!! THE OTHER BED IS MINE, BECAUSE I WAS HERE BEFORE ALL OF YOU!!!! AND WHAT KIND OF A STUPID NAME IS TRUNKS ANYWAY?" they turn around to see James in the door.

"It's a family tradition" Trunks answers (very civilly, I might add) as he comes up the stairs, "My family's name is Briefs"

"What kind of a stupid last name is--" James turns around *sweatdrop* *nosebleed* "--YOU are Trunks? Well, um, anyone with such a wonderful hair color can have the OTHER bed..." James isn't very good at being coy.

Mimete and Serena stare at each other, recognizing a common enemy when they see one. Much shouting and hair pulling ensues, until...

"We're hoooooome!!" it's Kuno and Happosai. As no one comes rushing down to welcome the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High, he decides to try to find his new, very noisy housemates. Happosai follows, because to judge by the high-pitched sreaming, there at least two females upstairs.

Everyone recognizes a potential ally in Kuno and they proceed to try to tell him their side of the story (except Trunks, who got bored and decided to go fix himself a sandwich or ten--he IS a saiyajin, after all...). Kuno inmediately decides that it's his duty to defend pig-tailed maidens in distress and threatens James with his sword. More screaming, because Mimete got her butt pinched by Happosai, who decides that HE wants to be in the triple... but with the two girls, and Serena becomes Sailormoon and tells Happosai she'll punish him in the name of the Moon for sexual harrasment and the Trunks (coming back upstairs while munching on a sandwich and drinking a ca of Coke) says "In the name of the moon? But the moon got blown up by Piccoro YEARS ago!" "WHAT? It did not! I'd KNOW, because I'm Sailormoon!" "HAHA!!" Mimete points at her and laughs. Serena threatens Mimete with her baton and starts twirling it around. James is thinking the choreography is cool, while Kuno is chasing him all over the room and Happosai gets an idea... he whips out a Hapo Dai Karin bomb "MUAHAHAHA!!!!! If I destroy THIS room, then the girls HAVE to share the triple with me!!!!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! YOU STUPID OLD MAN, DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Insert Batman-like KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kusanagi sees the explosion as she's arrives, she rushes in, thinking it must be a terrorist attack, and finds her six new housemates covered in soot, sitting in the middle of the ruins of the best room in the house.
