It was close to Tanabata.  Soun got a nice bamboo tree and was feeling
very happy.  Then he looked back and saw that the panda was trying to eat
the leaves of the bamboo.

[Tanabata is a Japanese holiday, held on 7/7, which is celebrated by
 decorating a bamboo branch.]

Akane and Ranma were looking at the stars from the second floor balcony.
Akane was feeling happy about the romantic story about Tanabata.  Ranma
said that it was dumb, and they started arguing.  Kasumi came and warned
Akane that the balcony was old and rusty.  Ranma looked through the
telescope and said that he couldn't find some star.  Then Akane looked
though it and saw a shooting star.  There was a large explosion as
something landed on the earth.  Akane said that it was the star that fell
to the earth.  Then Akane fell off of the balcony as the railing broke.

When Ranma rushed down to Akane, Akane got up and ran off saying that she
had to find the star that fell.  Ranma said that nothing like that could
have happened.  Akane looked around and found a beautiful girl in a
glowing light.  It was Orihime.

[Orihime was the princess in the Tanabata story.]

Akane took Orihime back to the Tendo home.  Everyone was shocked.  When
they asked her why she had come to earth, Orihime said that she always
got busy when it got close to Tanabata, so she wanted to rest now.
Orihime stayed in Akane's room and slept with Akane.

The next morning Orihime cooked for the Tendo family.  Ranma said that
it couldn't be as bad as somebody else he knew.  They all took a taste
and were shocked.  They said it was a taste that they weren't familiar
with.  Then Orihime took a taste and said that it was awful.  Orihime
couldn't clean, or do anything around the house either, just like Akane.

Akane and Orihime went out to town.  Akane said that she was happy that
she found out that Orihime was an ordinary girl like her.  Then they saw
a little boy walking in the middle of the street.  A truck was rushing
toward the boy.  Akane rushed to try to save the boy, but Orihime beat
her to it and safely grabbed the boy.

In the Tendo doujou Genma and Soun were beaten up by somebody.  Ranma
rushed to their aid.  There was a strange boy with a cow in the doujou.
Ranma challenged the boy.  They fought and Ranma got a lot of punches in.
Ranma thought that the boy wasn't very strong.  Then the boy called out
his move.  "Kengyuu ryuusei kick"  Then something hit Ranma from behind
and knocked him out.

Akane and Orihime were by Ranma when he woke up.  When Ranma said that
it was a strange boy with a cow, Orihime asked what the boy looked like.
Then Soun rushed in with a newspaper.  It had a picture of the boy with
the cow that had been going around doing doujou yaburi.  Orihime saw the
picture and said that it was Kengyuu.  Then Orihime said that she had
come to earth to find Kengyuu.  She apologized and said that it was her
that made him that way.

[Kengyuu was also part of the Tanabata story.]

Orihime explained that she was a martial artist, and that Kengyuu was an
iinazuke decided by their parents.
"I heard that story somewhere," Kasumi said.
Nabiki added, "This kind of thing happens everywhere."
Orihime said that they were very good friends and everything was going
well, except for one thing.  Orihime was much stronger than Kengyuu, and
beat him up all the time.  Orihime got mad, but Kengyuu said that he just
wanted to live a simple life with his cow.  Then Orihime yelled and told
Kengyuu to get stronger.  Kengyuu then left on a trainging trip.
Orihime's father then set up some marriage for Orihime, as he thought
that Kengyuu had run off.  Orihime told him that Kengyuu hadn't run off,
so her father said that he would give him until 7/7 to return.

Then Ranma said that it was very simple to solve this problem.  He would
force Kengyuu to return.  But Akane pointed out that Ranma had lost.
Then Soun said that Kengyuu was now only thinking about martial arts and
probably wasn't thinking about marriage.  Orihime became sad and ran off.

Akane tried to cheer up Orihime by training with her.  They became
friends and Orihime said that they were very similar.  When Orihime said
that Akane's iinazuke was very nice, Akane said that he was a total jerk.
Then Orihime said that there was a time when she talked that way about
Kengyuu.

Ranma went around to other doujous looking for Kengyuu.  Ranma found
Kengyuu fighting against someone.  It was a good opportunity for him to
watch Kengyuu's move, so he peeked in from the window.  But just when
Kengyuu was going to throw his move, a cat came up to Ranma, and Ranma
fell over.  Ranma couldn't see Kengyuu move.

Orihime found Kengyuu at a riverbed.  Kengyuu had heard about Orihime's
marriage and wished her well.  Orihime said that she wanted Kengyuu to
return.  But Kengyuu said that he still needed to get stronger.  Akane
and Ranma came and yelled at Kengyuu.  Ranma asked for a return match.
Ranma told Kengyuu to return with Orihime if he lost.  Then Kengyuu said
that Ranma was stupid and would just become the cow's servant when he
lost.

At night Ranma was thinking about how Kengyuu could hit him from behind.
Akane tried to cheer him up, but Ranma said that Akane couldn't help him.
Akane got mad and hit Ranma.

The match between Ranma and Kengyuu started.  Whenever Kengyuu called out
his move, Ranma fell backwards by himself so that the move wouldn't hit
him from behind.  Orihime was wondering why Kengyuu had become so strong
with that much confidence.  Since Ranma couldn't attack if he kept
rolling away, he decided to go for it.  Ranma attacked Kengyuu, and
Kengyuu called out his move.  Then as Ranma was waiting for the kick to
come from behind him, Orihime caught Kengyuu's cow, who was trying to
kick Ranma from behind.  Then Ranma got very mad and pounded Kengyuu.

So Orihime and Kengyuu returned to the stars.  Orihime gave Akane some
sparkling stardust in her hand, saying it was a lucky charm so that she
can get married with someone she liked.

When Akane woke up, everyone was around her.  Akane was lying in the
bushes after falling from the second floor balcony.  Akane thought it
was a dream.  When Akane opened up her hand, there was a little light
which slowly faded away.  Then Ranma carried Akane on his back.
