Chapter 6

The Wedding(IS RUINED)

Evan shook off a serious headache. He realized he was in an alley and quickly checked for missing pants. Much to his surprise and joy he was still clothed from the waist down, but on the downside he was bleeding profusely from his ass. Everything became clear when he walked up to the still smoldering corpse and did a small victory jig.

"I'm so happy!!! I can't stop DANCING!!!!" He excitedly yelled out as he danced in circles around the smoking body. Thumping his foot on the ground repeatedly.

THUMPA THUMPA THUMPA

A small beep went off in his pants. "WHAT!!!! WAS!!!!! THAT!!!!!" He then reached into his left pocket in his jeans and produced a small timer-like device. "Oh."

Evan looked over the counter, *four hours till jump. Crazy! I get to go home!! Hey I got lots of time to spare. Might as well see what Josh is up to.* Evan heard sirens in the distance and realized that if he stayed than he'd get in trouble and Josh would beat him up.

*Time to run, but first* Evan pointed his finger towards the arcade, *The Tendo's present!*

Evan took off in the direction of his arcade in a hurry so not to get caught.

**************

"...To love and to hold, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?" Asked the priest to Kasumi. She nodded, never moving her gaze from Joshes.

"I do."

The priest nodded and turned to Josh. "And do you Joshua VanHalteren vow to take Kasumi Tendo's hand in holy matrimony? To care for her? To love and to hold her, In sickness and in health, till death do you part?" Josh nodded as he gazed into Kasumi's eyes.

"I do."

The priest nodded and held out his arms. "In the power invested upon me I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Josh could hardly believe this was happening. Could hardly believe that he had just heard those words. He had half expected her to say no or something. But now one of his many dreams had been realized. He felt a little self conscious kissing her full on the lips in front of so many people but he had never felt so good in his life. He couldn't wait for the honeymoon. Then he would be able to at least remember it.

The walked down the aisle hand in hand past all of the people sitting there watching. Some people threw confetti, a lot of people were crying, including Akane and Nabiki, Ukyo gave out a loud wolf whistle. And everyong was clapping. Kasumi took the bouquet of flowers and tossed it behind her. All of the ladies scrambled out of their seats and tried to catch it. Ukyo wasn't very partial to getting up and grabbing at a bunch of sappy flowers and just sat in her chair smiling. The bouquet got tossed around quite a bit and then eventually flew up in the air and landed in the Okinomiyaki chefs lap. Ukyo picked it up and looked a little confused. She then smiled and showed it to Ranma.

Josh then stopped Kasumi and remembered another tradition. He put her one leg up on a chair and hiked up her dress just enough to expose the leg and the frilly band tied around her left leg Josh pulled it down and off her leg then threw it in the air towards where most of the guys were sitting Ranma wasn't paying attention and yawned he was half asleep, the wedding had bored him nearly to death. When he put his hand up to cover his mouth as he yawned he felt something wrap around his wrist. He looked confusedly at the thing, it was some kind of pink frilly circular thing.

"What the?" Josh then looked over to Ranma and gave a big thumbs up. Ranma was still oblivious as to what was going on. Josh and Kasumi then walked out of the dojo, and into the house where a bunch of food and drinks had been prepared by most of the females. Mostly Nodoka. Who earlier was musing as to where Ranko was. Of course she was musing this right beside Ranma who was already nervous enough as it was just being around the woman.

************

Evan walked into his arcade office, *Better pack.* He thought as he gathered his now prized Physics and Magic textbooks, *Haven't used magic for awhile, I should probably brush up before heading home. Keith will be ecstatic when I blast somebody with Jusenkyo water. Who would I blast first? Hmm, Lee would be fun... Oh well worry about that later, I've only got about three hours and a bit left before jump time. I can't wait.* Evan smiled without the help of alcohol for one of the few times in this universe. He walked out of the office and locked up. *I could have been quite successful with this arcade, but ah what the hell. It just isn't home!*

Evan started towards the Tendo dojo, almost hoping to meet Kuno to say farewell "Wait! I need my blades!!" Evan rushed back into his office and grabbed all four of his katana, "To the Tendo's!!" He called out as he rushed towards the Dojo.

Awhile later Evan opened the door to the Dojo to find a huge party going on, *What is going on here?... I wasn't invited to a party... And how can they have a party with out EVAN!!!* He stepped inside to find the cast of Ranma and many other locals dressed up and dancing. *Must be some Japanese holiday thingy, Oh well I'll just blend in after I head to the washroom to patch my ass.* He thought as he noticed that the hole in his pants had stopped squirting blood some time ago. The blood that had spilled from the wound had matted it's self to the black kevlar and denim.

*I know it's gross, so I just have to wash up a bit. No biggy. Maybe Tofu is here, he could stitch me up even.* He thought as he mingled until he was at the bar, *Need sustenance first, then I'll clean up.* He ordered a Sake and found, much to his liking, that it was cost free.

*Much better, now to the bathroom...* His thoughts were interrupted as the familiar face of Kodachi entered his slightly impaired vison.

"Hey dark and handsome, Want to go to the back room for some fun?" She offered, clearly drunk by the smell of her breath alone.

"Um, sure in a minute." Evan responded thinking that if he did do anything with Kodachi, Josh would probably punch him for some reason that was beyond his now more so impaired mind.

Evan tried to slip by the girl, when she grabbed firm hold of his ass and said, "Oh, poor baby. Got a boo boo, Hic, Let me TREAT that."

The kevlar dressed youth was slightly turned on, but was scared at the over obsessive way she used the word treat. "Um, sure... Are you licenced?"

Kodachi just laughed as she half led, half forced Evan into the back room, who all the while was laughing nervously.

Evan and Kodachi entered the back room and soon screams of pain echoed from the room, which was followed by heavy moans of pleasure from a female source. Josh Ryoga and Ranma were sitting around with all of the other guys talking about...guy stuff, while Kasumi was talking and reminiscing with her old high school friends.

Josh smiled as he took another chug of his fruit juice. "So Ranma you gonna get married soon? I mean you've only got four or twenty or so marriage prospects."

Ranma frowned as he took another sip of sake. "It wasn't my fault! Pop's engaged me to all of them! I'm just along for the ride. I'm unna stay single forever!" Josh nodded.

"What about you Ryoga? Got any special ladies in mind?" Ryoga nodded and took a big sip of sake.

"Yeah sheees sogreat!" Names Akane Tendo, she doesn't even know I'ma PIG!" Ranma nodded and pointed to Ryoga.

"Yeah, HEY! I know her. She's my fiancé."

"Really!? COOL!"

The camera then turns to Kuno who has an entire bottle of sake and is downing it every chance he gets. "Alas I, hic, Akane's gotb, she's got them hooters." The camera then turns ninety degrees to the right and faces Ryoga.

"You don treat Ukyo wit de respect she serves!" Ryoga sais to Ranma who the camera then turns ninety degrees to.

"Nuh uh man. I'm unna marry her an ery girl here some day." Camera then turns ninety degrees to Josh who is still just drinking fruit juice.

"So now you like Ukyo Ryoga? What happened to Akane?"

"Alas her boobs almost, hic, match, hic, those of the pigtailed girls."

"Ranma you take tha back, er I'll beat you up."

"Nuh uh poo-chan! Take this." Ranma then splashes Ryoga with Joshes fruit juice turning the boy into a pig. The pig then leaps onto Ranma's face, knocking him over and onto a bucket of cold water. Kuno falls forward and dumps his Sake all over Ryoga, turning him back into a human.

Ranma and Ryoga started fighting and roll outside. Bitching and throwing weak, alcohol induced punches at each other. Josh watches the fight and then realizes that this was a golden opportunity. He runs upstairs and grabs a camera that Soun had bought just to record the wedding and starts recording Ranma and Ryoga drunk. *Blackmail for later.* he thought.

Ryoga and Ranma started yelling at each other drunkenly Ranma threw a weak kick and fell flat on her ass. Ryoga went into a sort of power dive and elbowed her in the ribs. "Your a pig." Ranma said.

"Your hot as a chick." Ryoga said, "but I don't like you."

"You smell like booze."

"You smell like a girl."

"Your my best friend."

"You're my best friend too."

"I love you Ranma."

"I love you Ryoga."

Ranma and Ryoga began sobbing and hugging each other. Josh got a little disturbed but decided that the more disturbing things got the more effective the blackmail will be. Just then Kasumi came up to Joshes side and kissed him Josh smiled and kissed back, not turning off the recorder and not moving. "We're going to play some games in a few minutes do you want to join us?" Josh nodded.

"Yeah sure I got a few good games we could play. I learned them while I was on the Im-prov team at school. Go on without me I'll catch up. He then turned towards the two drunks and chuckled. "Heh heh. This is too good to miss."

"That looked really nice." Ryoga said. Indicating Josh and Kasumi's kiss.

"Yeah." Ranma said. The two people looked towards each other. "Wanna try that?"

"Okay." Ryoga said. They then began to kiss sloppily.

Josh laughed maniacally. "He'll pay me millions to burn this!"

"Burn what?" Came a familiar, although raspy voice.

"Huh? Oh hey Evan. Get that Pants guy?"

"Yeah, I whooped his ass, and um..." He muffled his voice a bit, "destroy some city property." He raised his voixce to normal, "But all that is in the past! SO what's the shindig for? Some Japanese holiday I never heard of?"

Josh shrugged. "Something a little more personal. Hey, their going to be playing some games later. Wanna join? We could do some Improv stuff and everything will seem funnier since most of the people have gotten themselves drunk in one way or another." Evan thought for a mere moment before answering.

"Sure."

With that they walked back into the house after setting the camera up to capture everything that Ranma and Ryoga did while they were gone.

Evan turned to Josh, "Hey where is Kasumi? I need to give her a present. Nothing important, I just wanted to thank her for watching out for me when I had came home drunk all those times."

Josh pointed over to a crowd of girls. She's over with the girls organizing some games." Evan nodded his thanks and walked over there. He was still slightly impaired so he stumbled and groped at some of the women as he passed. When he finally reached Kasumi he did his best to straighten himself so not to fall over onto her.

"Kasumi. I have a present for you, It's mostly for taking care of me when I was drunk those times." Evan blushed slightly when he remembered those now embarrassing moments. He handed her a set of keys. "These are the keys to an arcade I bought and renamed in your honor. And thanks." He began to walk away but was soon hugged from behind.

"This is the nicest wedding gift anyone could have gotten for me!!" She cheerfully declared as she squeezed him tighter. Evan began to grow curious, *wedding? Josh said personal... Oh crap. He got attached. And we are leaving in twenty minutes! I better tell Josh! Now where did he go...* Evan scanned the area.

"Who are you looking for?" Kasumi asked kindly. "Is it Josh? Did you want to tell him about the arcade?" She asked after receiving silence from Evan.

"Sorry Kasumi, I just got caught up in the occasion, haven't been to a wedding in awhile, especially one of my best friend's. Actually, I haven't been to a single one of my, hehe, Best friend's weddings." Evan snickered at his bad joke.

He got blank stares from Kasumi and her friends, *Guess Julia Roberts hasn't had a big break over here, thank goodness.* Evan thought as he waved goodbye to Kasumi and company and made his way over to Kuno who was still gulping sake.

"Hey old nemesis! How are you holding up?" Evan said, trying to start a conversation.

"I FaReWeLL, ThaNk YoU for Asking GOOd sir!!" The intoxicated kendoist replied stinking up the vicinity with alcohol fumes.

"Right. Does thou knowest where sir VanHaltern is located?"

"HE Is.... SomEWHere..." Kuno said as he slowly dropped to the table unconscious.

Just then Evan heard a laugh. A hideous, vile, disgusting, and foreboding female laugh. Just then Kodachi burst out of the back room clad only in a leather bikini. She trailed a whip along with her and had a bump on her head. Evan whipped his head around to see the dominatrix looking directly at him with LUST filled eyes. Evan frantically looked for Josh, his fear taking hold of him just as Ranma's Neko-ken did him.

He spotted Josh over with Kasumi and ran towards him. In a surge of adrenaline Evan grabbed Joshes wrist and yanked him away from the crowd. One of the drunk ladies said. "HEY! HE'S KIDNAPPING THE GROOM!" Evan ran out the doors of the dojo, and looked down at the timer. Somehow there was only a few seconds left. He pulled it up pointed it at empty air and pressed the activate button.

Before Josh could respond he was thrown into the portal, then Evan jumped after him. The portal then closed up in front of all present who had chased after Evan. Kasumi stared blackly at where the portal had just been.

Akane came up beside her married sister and frowned. "I KNEW he was scum! Se? He just ran away after getting married to you!" Kasumi growled.

"SHUT UP AKANE! HE WAS KIDNAPPED!" With that Kasumi lifted up her dress and stormed into the house. "I'll be in my room." With that she left. The only sounds now ehre the wind and Ranma making out with Ryoga. Akane just now noticed this and the fact that Ryoga was squeezing Ranma's boobs. She pulled out her mallet and swung it at them.

"PERVEEEEEERRRRTTTSS!!!!!" Ranma and Ryoga traveled through the stratosphere via mallet air.

***************

Kasumi sat in the now two person bed in her room with a frown on her face. She sat up against the wall with a pillow clutched to her chest. Tears streamed down her face and she let off an occasional sob. She heard a knock on the door and just told whoever it was to go away. Instead of leaving the person opened the door and walked in. It was Happosai.

"I'm afraid I can't do that my dear." Happosai said as he hopped up on the bed and sat beside her. A little of a frown on his face. "I'm terribly sorry about what happened Kasumi. It really is a tragedy when these kinds of things happen to young people such as yourself."

"Kasumi turned away from him and frowned. "What do you care you old pervert." Kasumi said to the diminutive old troll. Happosai smiled.

Is that anyway to talk to your great great granduncle?" he asked the girl. Kasumi was shocked. She was related to Happosai? She all of a sudden felt so dirty. Happosai sighed.

"Kasumi I never wanted this to happen. I never knew that that Evan boy would do anythin even remotely like this. But, I have a way that you can contact your husband." Kasumi looked hopeful.

"Really? A way I can talk to him?" Happosai chuckled.

"Heh, heh. You could do more than talk if you wanted. If you know what I mean?" He said as he lightly jabbed her in the side with his elbow to emphasize his point. Kasumi frowned at Happosai and he stopped. "Well anyway. I repaired the nanban mirror and I thought that it would be a good wedding present. Now I realize that I couldn't have picked a better one. " Kasumi had tears welling up in her eyes. And she hugged Happosai.

"Thank you master Happosai." Happosai then pulled the fully repaired Nanban mirror from his gi and handed it to the girl. He then left with a wave.

Kasumi smiled as she held the mirror to her chest as if it were the only thing in the world that mattered to her. She blinked, patted down her chest and then frowned. "Where's my bra?" she said in confusion though she alredy knew the answer.

****************

josh grimaced as he was unceremoniously was dumped from the portal in the sky onto the ground below. He landed with an audible thump and looked around him. No sooner had he gotten to his feet than he was knocked down by another body falling from the blueish hued portal. Josh groaned and got up his black tuxedo was ripped up in a few placed and dirty. He saw Evan getting up beside him and growled. He stood up grabbed Evan and shook him by the front of his shirt.

"WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE!!" He yelled at the black haired boy in Kevlar. "I WAS MARRIED ONLY A FEW HOURS AGO AND THEN YOU KIDNAP ME AND LITERALLY THROW ME INTO SOME OTHER DIMENSION!?!!??! I AUGHT TO JUST KILL YOU!!" Josh then threw Evan to the ground and turned his back. "But I'm a good guy and that would set a bad example." Evan breathed out a sigh of relief. Josh then turned around. "That doesn't mean I can't beat the living hell out of you though."

Evan screamed and tried to get an electrical charge built up to stop his friend but it was too late. Josh was too fast from his martial arts training and the beating ensued for quite a long time.

Later on when Josh had calmed down he and Evan sat in a coffee shop together. Josh was drinking a fruit juice again, and Evan had some beer to take some of the pain away. "You didn't have to beat me so bad Josh."

Josh frowned. "Evan you just kidnaped me, and now I'm stuck in another dimension. I'll probably never see my Wife and child again!" Evan looked surprised.

"You have a kid?" he asked through sips of his beer. Josh nodded.

"Yeah Kasumi's pregnant. Now I'm in New York from the looks of it." A man who had unintentionally been lstening in on their conversation bent over their table a little bit to get their attention. The man was in his twenties and had chiseled handsome features. He had Blonde, obviously died hair that was just a little longer than Joshes.

"Hey, aren't you a little young to be married?" He asked. "My cousin got married pretty young but I'm just a little confused as to why you would want to make a commitment like that so soon. You're only, what 19?" He asked.

Josh shook his head. "I'm only about seventeen." The Blonde haired guy would have spit out his drink if had been drinking.

"SIXTEEN!" He said incredulously. "You're only sixteen and you've got a wife and a baby on the way? My cousin Pete's wife only got pregnant little more than seven months ago. And they're about 25 or so."

Josh shrugged. "What can I say it was love at first sight." Evan rolled his eyes at that comment. Josh was a hopeless romantic. "That is until this idiot," He said pointing at Evan, "Kidnaped me." The Blonde haired waiter guy looked at Evan and then back to Josh.

"HE kidnaped you and now you're having a drink with him?" Josh just shook his head and smiled.

"It's kind of a long story. A hard to believe one at that." Josh chuckled. "About as hard to believe as believing that Spider-man is anything more than a comic book character. Heh, heh." The blonde waiter guy looked a little nervous at that last comment but Josh didn't notice and continued. "Say, do you know of anyplace we can crash tonight? I don't know how long we're going to stay in New York and we got next to no money what-so-ever."

Evan piped up just then. "Actually I just spent the last of our Canadian currency on these drinks. And we have six months before we leave."

"WHAT!?!" Josh yelled at the black haired boy. He sighed and slumped back in his chair, putting a hand over his head and sighing. "My life is DOG doo."

The waiter smiled and put his hand on Joshes shoulder. "Y'know I'd kind of like to hear this story of yours, maybe after I finish work you could tell me. It's only about an hour or so till I finish up and if you really need a place to stay then you could crash at my place." Josh smiled.

"Thanks. But I hardly even know your name." The waiter quickly composed himself and held out a hand to the younger boy.

"I'm Ben Riley." They shook and Josh just stared at Ben in awe. "I gotta go get back to work you guys can hang out here till I'm done. See yah later." with that Ben left to go take care of some more customers.

Josh looked over at Evan and frowned. "Well Evan, you've done it again, we're still not in our universe. We're in the Marvel universe for some odd reason." Evan shrugged.

"I don't get it either. I mean I made the thing and it should have just taken us back home." Josh glared evilly at Evan. "Someday I will kill you. You know that right?" Evan nodded and inched back just a little bit.

Later after Ben finished work he walked back over to the two teens and smiled. "Okaay. I'm finished work you guy want to go check out my place? Josh and Evan nodded

"Sure." Josh said as he got up. "Hey, Ben. I was thinking since you're being so nice to us, letting us stay at your place and all. I was thinking maybe we could make dinner tonight. It's the least we can do."

Ben nodded "Sure! I hope you guys don't mind it's actually a little bit far of a walk."

Josh chuckled. "Why walk when you can jump across the rooftops?" Evan laughed. It was really ironic. Ben got another nervous look on his face and thought that Josh was hinting that he knew he was Spider Man. The three walked out of the small cafe and into the street. "It's quite a stroke of luck meeting you Ben. Thanks for taking us in."

***************

Josh sat back on the couch in the small apartment and smiled. It was great having a place to stay, and they had quite a good sized meal to them selves. Josh looked towards the window and smirked to himself. He may not be able to see his wife right at the moment but he might as well enjoy himself at the moment. It would be really fun to just go out roof hopping. Josh stood up and stretched. He needed to get some exercise. As soon as he stood up though he got quite a surprise.

The room lit up with pink and blue energy. Josh stumbled back a little as he saw this. It looked familiar. Kind of like the Nanban mirror back home. He would have chuckled just then at realizing that he now considered the Ranma 1/2 universe his home but he had more pressing matters like what was going on?

Ben after hearing a noise from the living room turned around from the dishes and noticed that some sort of glow was come from there. His spider sense hadn't gone off but he was concerned as to what was going on. He dropped the dish towel he was using to dry things off and rushed to the living room.

Just as Ben arrived to see what was going on the Pink and Blue Magical energy faded away and in it's place stood a young, beautiful Japanese teenage girl. Her long brown hair was tied back in a ponytail that was draped over her right shoulder. "What the?" Ben said as he gazed at the girl who just appeared out of nowhere.

"Kasumi?" Josh said as he rushed forward and hugged the girl. They pulled their heads back for a moment and then kissed. Ben just now realized that the girl was in a wedding dress. Josh looked her in the eyes with all the love he had and asked. <"How did you find me?"> Kasumi smiled warmly.

<"Happosai gave me the Nanban mirror as a wedding gift after you had left."> Josh looked a little confused.

<"I thought the mirror was destroyed."> Kasumi shook her head.

<"Not entirely. Happosai was able to put enough of it back together that I could use it. The only problem is, is that the magic is week and I can only stay up to ten minutes or so."> Josh frowned.

<"I'm sorry I left Kasumi. I didn't want to. Evan was rushing and he was trying to get away from Kodachi, he just took me with him." Josh clasped her hands in his own and looked at her through the tears that were welling up in his eyes. "I swear that if it's the last thing I do I will find a way back to you."> Josh then put a hand on Kasumi's stomach and smiled again. <"And our child.">

Ben walked up to the pair and waved at them. "Ah hello? I'd hate to break up your little chat but, where did she come from? Who is this girl and why is she here?" Josh lightly smacked himself in the head and motioned towards Ben.

<"Uhm Kasumi this is Ben Reilly, Ben this is Kasumi Tendo my wife. Evan and I are staying with Ben until we can get out of this universe."> Kasumi smiled at Ben.

<"Oh my. That certainly is nice of you.">

Ben looked really confused. "Excuse me, Josh? What did you just say there? I don't know Japanese. What's all this about, how did she just appear out of thin air?" Josh looked a little embarrassed. When Kasumi had appeared he had switched over to Japanese. He quickly composed himself and switched over to English.

"Sorry Ben. This is my Wife Kasumi. She traveled through time and space from her dimension to yours so she could talk to me about my departure." Ben looked flabbergasted

"You're from another universe?" He asked incredulously. Josh shrugged.

"Hey I can also turn into a girl, just add water." Ben sat down and felt his forehead to make sure that he didn't have some sort of fever. He seemed to be fine though. "I guess now would be a good time to tell me this story of yours." Josh nodded.

Eight minutes later Ben sat looking at a female josh in wonder, amazement and confusion. "You married this girl, er guy, despite the fact that he can turn into a girl?" Josh translated to Kasumi and she nodded. She smiled and then said something in Japanese. Josh then translated for Ben.

"She said that it doesn't matter what's on the outside. She also said that it could be fun sometimes. I don't know what she means there though." Ben sighed and lay back on his couch. Josh grabbed a cup full of hot water up from beside the couch and dumped it on his head, changing herself into a male.

"Is there anything else I should know about you people?" He asked, half in dread of the answer he would get. Josh nodded.

"Just one last thing. Evan's an Electro wannabe." Ben looked towards Evan who just smiled and then charged up some electricity in his hands and then let it dissipate. Kasumi looked up at the clock and noticed that there was only a few seconds left before the magic of the mirror wore out. She turned to Josh and kissed him full on the lips. Josh returned the kiss with great pleasure and then they broke it, said their momentary goodbyes and she disappeared.

Josh smiled over at Ben and then walked over to the window, he opened it up and started to climb out. Ben stood up off of the couch and rushed to the window. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" He asked shocked that Josh was about to just jump out the window. Josh looked back and smiled.

"Relax ben it's just five stories up. I just wanted to jump across the roofs for a bit to clear my head." With that Josh bent down and jumped towards the next buildings rooftop using a chi enhanced jump. Ben rushed to the window to make sure that he hadn't fallen to his death and looked up to the building just beside his apartment Josh waved at him from the rooftop and then ran and jumped across to the next rooftop.

Ben smiled before turning back to his apartment. Josh reminded him of Pete and himself when they had first gotten their powers. Josh looked towards the big intersection he was at. It was one hell of a long jump to the next building. It was at least thirty or forty meters. It was a big intersection. Josh walked back to the other end of the building he was on and then built up his chi. He ran across the building and at the very edge he jumped, flying high into the sky over all the traffic towards the next building which was a small bungalow that was a convenience store. In mid flight Josh spotted two males in black masks exiting the building.

Josh landed on the roof and then jumped down to the ground below he startled a couple of pedestrians but he ignored them and ran after the crooks that had robbed the store. He did a chi powered jump to soar through the air over the pedestrians blocking his way and did a double drop kick into the backs of the criminals they dropped the money they were carrying and tumbled forward in two heaps. Josh stepped forward and took the masks off the thugs. He didn't recognize either of them and he shook them a little to get their attention. "Hey didn't you guys ever learn that you shouldn't take things that aren't yours?" Josh asked with a little bit of anger. "If there's one thing I don't like it's punk ass greedy people who steal." Josh then knocked their heads together and one of them fell unconscious. The other one got up however and pulled out a gun from his coat.

He pointed the gun at Josh and growled. "Stupid kid." Josh grabbed the gun with one hand spun around and back handed the thug who let go of the offending weapon. Which then dropped to the ground.

"I hate gun's even more." Josh noted before he focused a bunch of chi into his fist and picked up the gun, crushing it in his hand. He then let the pieces fall to the ground. The man, afraid for his life tried to run but josh did a flip over him and kicked him in the face. The thug then fell to the ground unconscious. Josh struck a little bit of a victory pose and then blinked as a flash went off and people began to clap around him. He noticed that there was a bunch of reporters around. Josh jumped up to one of the nearby roof tops and began to leap across town to Reilly's apartment.

*Oops I think I may have caused more problems than I have solutions by doing that.*

*************

Josh entered Ben Reilly's apartment through the window again the same way he had left it. He walked over to the couch in the room and lay down to get a nap, tomorrow would more than likely be a big day. He had noticed that Ben had a calendar on his fridge and tomorrow he was supposed to have Mary Jane and Peter over for supper. It was some sort of occasion that wasn't listed. Josh figured that tomorrow was when the Shit would hit the fan. Josh pulled up a blanket that was rolled up on the other side and went to sleep.

Evan was in the bathroom taking a bath. Ben had told him earlier that he needed one and that he wouldn't house him if he didn't at least clean himself. Evan thought this a good idea since he'd only taken about two or three baths the entire time he was in the Ranma world. Of course, Evan spent most of his time playing with anything in the bathroom that caught his eye. Right now he was playing with a Shampoo and Conditioner bottle.

"Shampoo is better." He mouthed while shaking said bottle. "I go on first and I clean the hair." He then looked over to the Conditioner bottle and started shaking it. "No! Conditioner is better! I go on last and leave the hair silky and smooth." "Oh really fool?" "Yes really!" Evan then made the two bottles fight until he dropped them into the water. Evan then left the tub got dressed and left the bathroom. He met up with Ben just outside. Who then rushed into the bathroom holding his groin.

Evan looked up at a clock that was over the kitchen nearby and shrugged. *Guess I took a little longer in there than I had originally planned.* Evan went to a nearby closet took a couple of Blankets, lay them out on the floor and went to sleep.

*******************

Josh woke up the next day with a start. The sun shone on his face through the nearby window and only his legs where on the couch. Somehow, during the night, the rest of him had slipped off. Josh wearily got up and moved to the bathroom. He saw Ben in there as well, who was brushing his teeth. "Got an extra brush or something?" Josh asked the older man. Ben pointed to a cabinet and Josh opened it up finding an unused blue tooth brush in there. "Thanks." Josh said as he put some tooth paste on the brush and began to brush his teeth.

Josh then proceeded to wash his face and wet his hair down a little so that he could brush it a little easier. After which he left the bathroom and followed Ben into the kitchen to get some breakfast. "So Ben about your cousin Peter you mentioned earlier. What does he do for a living?" Ben wiped his mouth on his sleeve to get rid of the milk mustache he had.

"He takes pictures for the Daily Bugle. He specializes in taking pictures of stuff like spider man." Josh shrugged and filled up a bowl with cereal.

"What's so hard about that?" Josh asked. "Spider Man's always getting into fights in the big apple. Just grab a camera hop onto a nearby rooftop and snap a few right?"

Ben shrugged and took a bite of the fruit loops that he had in front of him. "Not everyone can just 'hop' onto a nearby roof top like you were doing last night. You should have put on a mask or something to cover up your identity when you do stuff like that. Around here rumors can spread easily and fast if your not careful."

Josh nodded as he started eating his own bowl of cereal. "Yeah I kind of realized that after I took out a couple of armed robbers th other night. A bunch of reporter people and tourists all started taking my picture when I did that."

Ben nearly spit out all of his cereal. *Great this kids gonna get himself killed. Everyone's gonna think he's Spider Man now. Then he'll be in danger and some of my foes will probably hunt him down or something. I hope pete can get the Bugle to not put something like that on front page.*

*****************

Down at the daily Bugle a man with a flat top of short gray hair that was turning white at the sides frowned as he looked over a story in his office and a few pictures. He looked at the name of the person who had supplied the pictures.

"PARKER!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. "GET IN HERE!" Moments later a man of about twenty or so years old with medium length brown hair.

"You bellowed?" He asked as he poked his head into the office.

"Get in here! I want you to see this!" Peter walked forward and J Jonah Jameson threw the pictures and the report on the desk. He then sat back in his chair and began puffing on a cigar. "You know what that is right there?" Jonah asked pointing at the pictures on the desk.

Peter looked a little confused as he picked up the pictures and flipped through them. "Pictures of some teenage boy?" He asked. Jameson frowned and pointed to the report that went with the pictures.

"Read the report Parker! This is front page news! The news of the century!" Peter picked up the report and glanced through it.

Peter looked confused. "You don't actually believe this do you J, J? This is just some kid! How can he be Spider Man?" Jameson furrowed his eyebrows and glared at Peter.

"Why not? Nobody knows this kid. He doesn't show up in any police files. There's no name just a face. This is the stuff that makes journalism so great! The evidence is there to. The kid has super strength, he crushed a gun in his bare hand! He has agility, he moved fasted than most of the spectators eyes could follow, AND, he's can jump across buildings like they were sidewalk curbs! I want you on this Parker. Find this kid and find out everything you can about him! Now GET OUT!"

Peter followed his boss's orders and exited the large office. He walked down the hall thinking of this the entire time. Peter knew for a fact that HE was the real Spider Man, though he couldn't be as much any more. Lately his spider powers had been cutting out on him. Because of this he had to pass the Spider mantel on to his Cousin Ben Reilly, who in fact was the real Peter Parker. He was just a clone of him. At first this was kind of depressing but he had eventually accepted it and moved on with his wife Mary Jane.

This kid was obviously a fraud and peter was now determined to expose him. Though he did wonder if maybe this kid was some sort of new Spider man. Maybe he was another Clone. Peter shook his head and wrote that one off. That was highly unlikely. If there were another Spider Clone running around he or Ben would have known about it by now. Peter looked at his watch. The day was nearly over there was only two hours left until he got off work. Then he and Mary Jane could go to Ben's for a nice relaxing dinner.

******************

Peter and Mary Jane Parker walked up to the door to Ben Reilly's apartment and knocked. "Do you think he's heard about that other spider person?" Peter asked Mary. Mary shrugged.

"I doubt it. I never even heard of it until you brought it up. Why are you letting this bother you Tiger?" Peter was cut off from answering his wife when the door opened and Ben stood at the door with a smile on his face that Mary Jane found all too familiar. It was nearly the exact same as her husbands, only framed by golden blonde hair instead of Peter's light brown locks. Of course she had at first been a little surprised when he had revealed to her that he was a clone and that Ben was the real thing. But now that he was posing as Peter's cousin it made him much less strange.

"Hi, guys. Come on in. I'm just finishing up supper it'll be ready soon." Just then there was a loud crash coming from the kitchen area. And a few voices floated out to greet Peter and Mary's ears.

"Is there someone else joining us?" Mary asked. Ben nodded.

"Uh yeah, they're a little strange but they're not bad. They'll be here with me for the next six months till they can leave." Just then Josh and Evan came out of the kitchen carrying pots and pans filled with food. They were arguing about some cold water that Evan had inadvertently spilt on Josh who was at the moment a shorter teenage girl.

"Watch what you're doing yah idiot now I got to change back." Josh yelled at Evan. They put the food on the table and then sat down glaring at each other.

"It must have been a little better than the boiling water you spilt all over me!" Evan shot back. Josh looked over to where Ben was standing and just noticed that Peter Parker and Mary Jane were standing there.

"Uhm Hello." Josh said dumbly. Not knowing what else there was to say. She was in the same room as two spider men and a hot red head. Who was pregnant. Josh got out of her chair and walked up to the couple. She held out her hand in greeting to Peter and he shook it. "Peter Parker I presume?" Josh said while she shook the mans hand. She then looked toward Mary and extended a hand her way. "And Mary Jan. Correct?" Mary and Peter nodded.

Josh motioned to two chairs sitting side by side at the table they had set up and then moved towards the bathroom. Mary and Peter took their places at the table and Ben joined them right across from them. Evan kept to himself and sat back in his chair waiting for Josh to get back so they could start the grub.

Josh entered the bathroom a moment later, dry and male. "It's good to be me." Josh sighed as he walked towards the table and sat beside Ben. Peter looked at Josh in surprise.

*That's the guy that Jonah wanted me to find out about. What's he doing over here at Ben's place?*Peter decided to delve into that subject later on into the dinner. He then looked around the apartment. "Where'd that girl go?" Peter asked. Josh just shrugged.

"She can take care of herself, she was only over here to help with dinner. She probably left." Josh then folded his hands and looked up at the others. "Shall we say grace?" Everyone composed them selves and folded their hands. Ben said grace and then they all started to dig in to the food that Ben, Josh, and Evan had prepared. Peter looked up at Ben.

"So Ben, who are these guys? When did they show up?" Ben wiped his mouth on a napkin and looked over at Josh who did a little bit of a bow signifying that Ben could tell him.

Ben cleared his throat and then began. "Well, They were at the cafe and I was walking by when I overheard Josh here." He said motioning to Josh. "Say that he was married and had a kid on the way, an he's only sixteen or so."

Mary started at this and nearly choked on her food. "SIXTEEN!?" She said unbelievably as she looked over to Josh who shrugged.

"I'm actually seventeen."

Ben continued. "Apparently this Electro wannabe over here." Motioning with his thumb at Evan. "Had kidnapped Josh right after his wedding in Japan and took him over to New York and they got next to no money." Ben deliberately skipped the other dimension part. " I offered them to stay at my place until they could find a way home."

Mary Jane looked flabbergasted. "You kidnapped him after his WEDDING?!" She yelled at Evan." Evan just charged up a little spark of electricity in his hand and smiled.

"I've got powers."

Ben continued, now sweating a little. Peter secretly had a notepad on his lap and was secretly writing all of this down. "Go on." He said. This was actually starting to interest Peter.

Josh chose that moment to interrupt. "Yeah and that girl you saw earlier was actually me. I fell into a cursed spring when I went to China on the way to Japan originally. Now whenever I get splashed with cold water I turn into a female version of myself. Hot water turns me back." Mary Jane would have fainted if she hadn't been through so much weird stuff being Spider Man's wife.

Ben nodded. "He's telling the truth." Peter nodded and put the notepad in his jeans pocket.

"So Josh. I heard some thing about you stopping a couple criminals earlier today. What's going on there? There's rumours going around that you're Spider Man. They said you crushed a gun with your bare hand and jumped from ground level to the top of a five story building."

Josh chuckled. "This 'They' That your talking about wouldn't happen to be J, Jonah Jameson now would it?"Josh asked with a knowing smile.

"How do you know Jameson?" Asked Ben. "I thought you said you were from another dimension?" Ben looked towards Peter and Mary Jane and covered his mouth.

"Oops."

authors notes: {Well ain't that a BITCH! I get married to Kasumi and then only hours later, before I can even have a honeymoon, I get literally thrown into a new dimension. The Marvel Universe no less. What else could possibly go wrong? Well there's a rumour that I'm Spider Man and I'm living with Ben Reilly and Evan. That's bad enough, no? Evan wasn't around to write this chapter and I finished it in one night. I just do this fic for fun now to see how much trouble I can get me and Evan into. This is all completely improvised so there's only few ideas that we're sticking to. I plan on doing one big ass plot twist but it won't come for a long while. In the mean time I'll just sit back and watch the super heroes fly. Maybe I'll meet up with the Fantastic Four. That'd be cool. Well I'm not going to give anything away, I just hope you enjoyed our universe hopping antics. Thanks for your support. Bai bai.}

(Yeah, um I wasn't here for most of the chapter, so I'm just as surprised as you that Josh is doing some Spider person stuff and JJ believes that he is Spidy for that matter! Yeah so that's all from me. TA!)
