I'm kinda surprised that Kuno backed down so easily.? Just what happened between Kuno and the invading aliens?
This is a revision. No Jem'Hadar invasion took place.
This.

At lunchtime, Furinkan was abuzz with gossip about the new student Ranma Saotome and how he had dealt with KunoÆs interrupting his class.
Ranma was sitting under a tree and casually observing the rest of the students when Nabiki approached him.
ôHi there, Ranma,ö she smiled. ôSomeone asked me if youÆre willing to draw their portrait.ö
The Changeling turned to look at the brunette and smiled. ôI would be if I had some paper and something to draw with.ö
ôHere,ö the middle Tendo said, handing over a sketchpad and tin of pencils. ôCome on, Yuki-chan, how can Ranma draw you if he canÆt see you?ö
A girl with her long black hair in a single ponytail blushed shyly as she was moved into RanmaÆs view.
ôAnd how do you want me to draw you?ö
ôI donÆt know,ö Yuki answered, her cheeks reddening further.
ôHmm... letÆs try this...ö
Five minutes of furious pencil strokes later, Ranma turned the sketchpad around to reveal Yuki grooming a pony with a brush. ôIs this what you were after?ö
ôYes,ö the raven-haired girl squealed happily. ôThank you!ö
ôNot bad at all, Saotome,ö Nabiki smiled as Yuki skipped away.
Another student approached the pair, this time it was a boy.
ôHi,ö he said, trying not to sound nervous. ôI hear you can draw pictures?ö
ôI can,ö Ranma nodded.
ôCan you draw me a picture of a girl?ö
ôNot without the girlÆs permission,ö the artist answered. ôItÆs not right to just start drawing peopleÆs likenesses without their permission.ö
ôO-oh.ö
ôThat said, I could probably draw someone who doesnÆt exist. That would cost extra though,ö Ranma shrugged. ôFive thousand yen.ö
ôO-ok,ö the customer nodded as he reached for his wallet. ôCan you draw me a cute girl with a nice body at the beach?ö
ôYes,ö the Changeling nodded as he started his next commission.
After the customer had left clutching his picture of a girl dressed in a daring one-piece swimsuit, Ranma turned to Nabiki. ôI donÆt mean to be rude, but whereÆs my 4200 yen?ö
ôWhat?ö Nabiki asked, distracted by some movement from across the yard.
ôOne thousand yen for a basic sketch and five thousand for the original commission makes six thousand yen. Minus your cut of 30 percent,ö the martial artist explained. ôThat was our deal.ö
ôOh, yes, sorry,ö the mercenary girl winced. ôItÆs just that...ö
ôYOU!ö
ô...Kuno is coming over here.ö
