This query has kind of been bubbling on the proverbial backburners for a while, but I've never gotten around to asking it until now. A plot that occasionally comes and goes for me is the idea of doing something, from either Ranma's perspective or that of the girl in question, when Ranma and a girl besides Akane "wakes up" one morning and discovers a rather bad gap in their memory. Basically, it's quite some time later than they last remember, days at the minimum, and something rather extreme happened during the time period they don't remember. The precise couple varies, how long ago it happened varies, whether they might have children varies, but usually it's only the perspective character who has forgotten how their present situation came to be.
What's kept me from actually trying my hand at this, fundamentally, rather simple plot is a simple matter: I'm not quite certain what the given reactions of the potential "protagonists" would be. How would Ranma react to waking up in the same bed as, say, an enthusiatically amorous Kasumi, or a pregnant Ukyo? How would Nabiki react to waking up to a shyly affectionate Ranma and her family's congratulations? How would Shampoo react to just waking up and discovering herself wed to Ranma and with a small child to take care of?
I don't really know. So, I thought I'd ask for people's opinions. I do know that there would be more reactions to the fact when the perspective character gets exposed to how their unremembered life has changed beyond the fact - Ranma's having to deal with the Tendo family's attitudes to him hooking up with one of Akane's sisters, or Nabiki trying to negotiate the social minefield of who is and isn't her friend now - but I also know that's basically the whole meat of this plot idea. I'm just having trouble figuring out the "kneejerk" reactions, what happens when it's just Ranma and/or whichever girl alone in a bedroom together in the early morning.
