Just Normal Girls

A/N: Wow, probably my most successful story right now. What do you guys think of adding another anime to the crossover list? I won't say which one, but it will probably be introduced this story arc, play a big role in the next story arc, and is a much more famous magical girl anime.

Chapter 5: The Big Date

Princess Herb looked over the notes she tried making for her attempt to prep for her confrontation with Ranma. She had set up camp in the outskirts of Tokyo while she sent Lime and Mint back to China in to tell the Musk Kingdom that she was gone on a training trip.

"What am I going to do? This Natsuru character seems to be almost as powerful as me. Teamed up with Ranma, they would be unstoppable and I would be dead within a minute. Not even with Lime and Mint at my side. But those bumbling idiots are back in China, doing a mission that I know that they're gonna fail." Herb slammed the ground with her fist, making a tiny crater, "All I want to do is avenge the death of the male Herb, AND I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT!"

"Perhaps I may be of service." came a voice from the shadows. Herb immediately channeled ki into her arm, making it into a blade.

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

A young girl stepped out of the shadows and into the light the fire was providing. She had blonde hair that went down her back and sinister looking turquoise eyes.

"There's no need to attack me, I'm not your enemy."

"Then who are you?"

"Someone who knows about Natsuru's condition and her weaknesses. I'm also someone who can exploit them. Let me help you, and we can take down both of them together."

Herb held the ki blade to the girl's neck, "How about I make you tell me how to beat them now and then slit your throat."

"I think threatening me would be a very bad idea." Herb then felt a blinding pain in her abdomen and looked down to see a knife handle sticking out of it. The girl retracted the knife and Herb toppled over. She reached down to clutch the wound when she realized that it had already healed miraculously.

"You like my little trick? It's a special weapon I picked up from my HQ."

"Alright, you win. I'll let you help me Miss..."

"For now, just call me Sakura."

Change of Scene

Natsuru looked through her limited pile of clothes to find the best to take Haruhi on their date. Everything she owned was stuff her guy form wore, just magically adjusted for a girl. Needless to say, her guy form had a real boring taste in clothing.

"Hey Natsu, you need a recommendation." A certain doll mentioned.

"I swear, if you say one more thing-"

"You're mom my have something in her room."

"Okay, that's one, and exactly ONE, thing you've said that's smart."

Natsuru went into her parents' room, a room she hadn't been in since the last time they were with her. They always seemed to be away for something. They weren't even aware that she was half girl. She opened the closet and smiled at the outfit she saw, and knew it would be perfect for her first date with someone she was actually willing to date with.

Change of Scene

Ranma was cringing as she walked with her mother through the busy shopping center.

"Mom, Shampoo will be perfectly fine with what I normally wear." She whined.

"Ranma, trust me, the place you're taking Shampoo, it's not gonna be okay to wear a red silk shirt. An evening dress, that's what you'll need. Besides, this color goes so perfectly with your eyes." Nodoka said, holding up a sky blue dress for her daughter.

"You really think Shampoo will want me to look girly?"

"She comes from a village where women are dominant over men. Of course she'll be okay with you accepting some female attributes. You already spooned with her, so she probably knows you wear a bra and panties."

"MOM! We're in Public!"

"I'm sorry honey, now for jewelry. Try these on."

SNIP

"Ranma, why are you crying?" Nodoka asked, noticing Ranma was fighting back a lot of tears from the clip on earrings.

Change of Scene

Shampoo showed up at the Saotome house at around seven. When Nodoka answered the door, she found a beautiful Chinese girl wearing a traditional red silk dress with a blue dragon emblazoned on it. She was also holding a fan which complemented the outfit.

"Nihao, Saotome-San. Shampoo here to see Airen."

"Of course, honey. You're date will be down in one minute. By the way, Shampoo, have you done something to prevent your...condition...from being activated tonight?"

"Hai, Shampoo spend whole day scrubbing with waterproof soap just for tonight. Nothing ruin date with Airen. Is what Shampoo dream about."

"You seem to be very fond of my daughter. You are okay with her being a woman right?"

"Joketsuzoku Tribe have many lesbian couple there. Shampoo love Ranma for Ranma. But it no hurt that girl type Ranma is too too cute."

After about five minutes, Shampoo heard from the doorway, "Hey, Shampoo. Are you ready to go?"

With an afternoon of prepping with Nodoka, Ranma was drop dead gorgeous. Her hair was unbound and free flowing, which was a good contrast to the icy blue dress she was wearing. The diamond earrings, plucked eyebrows, and lipstick were just icing on the cake. Shampoo was being turned on more than fangirls at a late night Todd Haberkorn panel (P.S. Those who were there know it was hilarious.)

"Uh...Hai...Shampoo go now."

The two girls locked arms and left.

"Airen? You walk to date? Heels very unconvertable."

"It's uncomfortable. And no, Mom gave me money to get a cab. It should be arriving right about...now." The big yellow car pulled up to them as Ranma opened the door for her date.

"So where are you two ladies headed?" the driver asked.

"Um...Do you know where this is?" Ranma asked, handing the address to the driver.

"Oh, uh...so you two are...never mind."

'Geez, this place must be really famous for couples like us. And my mom went there? Ms. Be honorable or I'll kill you?'

"We're here ladies." the driver said.

"Oh, okay. How much is it? Five thousand yen?"

"It's on the house."

"Really? Thanks sir."

"Anything for someone related to Big Red."

"Whose Big Red?"

"Oh...uh...nothing. Have a good night."

Ranma shrugged who she thought 'Big Red' was and took Shampoo's hand into the restaurant.

"Saotome, party of four."

"Ah yes, Ms. Saotome. You're friends are already here. I'll show you."

They saw Natsuru and Haruhi sitting at their table. Natsuru was wearing a dress similar to Ranma, except it was jet black. Haruhi, on the other hand, was wearing a fine tuxedo. That, plus the lack of glasses, made her look like an extraordinarily handsome young man taking three women out to dinner, something Ranma considered doing when she was still a guy, but didn't want a mallet, chui, and spatula in the face.

"Hello, you must be Shampoo. Ranma's told me a lot about you." Haruhi said.

"You Haruhi? Shampoo very happy that Airen have friends now."

"So Shampoo, how did you meet Ranma?" Natsuru asked.

"After Ranma get curse, Ranma come to Amazon Tribe. Shampoo think Ranma real girl when she eat Shampoo's prize food for tournament. Ranma challenge Shampoo and beat me. Shampoo then give Ranma Kiss of Marriage."

"Marriage? I thought you gave me the kiss of death."

"Shampoo change rules any time she wants."

"So all that chasing me around China with a sword...?"

"...Foreplay?"

Change of Scene

"You're heading out tonight Hikaru?" Kaoru asked.

"Yeah, I figured today was the day. I'll show Haruhi how much I really care about her."

And with that, the rare moment when the twins were separated happened. Kaoru had the feeling that it would be a grave mistake.

Change of Scene

The cab pulled up to Haruhi's house. Natsuru walked up to the front door with her. They watched as the cab pulled away.

"I had a really great time Natsuru."

"Yeah, I did too. You think...we could maybe...do it again sometime?"

"I'd love to. I've...I've always been forced into dates by the Host Club, like I'm obligated."

Natsuru grabbed took her hands in hers, "I would never dream of that Haru-chan. If you just wanna be friends, I'm okay with it. I just wanted to give it a shot."

Haruhi pulled her hands away, grabbed Natsuru's cheek and pulled her in for a kiss. Natsuru melted into it as she slipped her hands around the other girl's neck. Finally they let go.

"Sorry, I just wanted to give that a shot too."

"Yeah...I was kinda waiting for that. After all, the guy usually makes the move first."

"Haruhi!" came a third voice. Haruhi froze when she recognized it. They turned to see Hikaru Hitachiin standing in front of the house. Even from afar, they could see he was starting to tear up. He immediately turned heal and ran away.

"Hikaru! Wait!" Haruhi ran after him.

"What's going on?" Natsuru asked.

"Just wait for me here. I'll be back."

Natsuru hung her head at what just occurred, "What have I done?"

Change of Scene

Ranma and Shampoo showed up at the Saotome house.

"Did you have a good time Shampoo?"

"This happiest night of Shampoo's life. Airen give special goodnight to Shampoo?"

"I'd like nothing more than that."

Ranma tried to lean into Shampoo, but her girl form was much smaller. Shampoo took the initiative and placed her lips onto the redhead's. Both girls felt like their legs would give out, but both felt the other supporting them.

"Wow..."

"Airen have much more with Shampoo. We go to date another time, yes?"

"Definitely. I didn't think I'd say this, but I think I..." Ranma stopped when she sensed something.

"You what, Airen?"

"Quiet, something's coming. Something powerful. You get going Shamps. Whatever it is, it's coming for me."

"No Ranma."

"But Shampoo-" "Shampoo strong Amazon warrior. Shampoo and Ranma together now, and we fight together." the purple haired girl said, unfolding her fan, which apparently had blades on the end.

"Hello Ranma." Came a voice.

"Herb." The Dragon Princess was standing before the two girls. She had black energy swimming all around her. Her yellow eyes were glowing and so was the white bracelet on her wrist, which looked similar to Natsuru's.

"I think it's time I repay you for what you did to me." Ranma and Herb said at the same time. Their final confrontation was coming.
