"This is all your fault," said the two people at Saotome Ranma's sides.

"Hey, I said I was sorry! Not like I can do anything about it," he
complained to Tsukino Usagi, and Duo Maxwell. He had a slight headache.
Which was odd, considering he felt they should be much worse off.

Usagi looked at the door next tot he bench and shivered. "I hate sitting
out side the princable's office." A sudden horrorfing thougth struck her.
"Did we go to hell?"

The former Gundam Pilot let out a groan. "Just figures. There is a God, and
He's pissed at me."

"How do you know God's not a woman," demanded Usagi.

"Doesn't matter. I don't beleave there really is a God."

Ranma rubbed his forehead. "Then where are we?"

"You got me there," said Duo with a smile as he leaned back.

"How can you be so calm ablout this," Usagi demanded of the other two.

Ranma looked to her. "Why panic? It's allready done."

"Who would have thought after all those battles, I'd buy it being pushed
before a truck," said Duo with a slight frown. "Very Uncool."

"I said I was sorry, dam-" Ranma was cut off as Usagi slapped a hand over
his mouth.

"Are you nuts? We're dead? You want to get God angry at us?"

"Well, if God exists, he doesn't really care about us,' said Duo calmly.
"At least he never seemed to care from what I could tell."

"How can you say that?"

"Look at all the people who are starving... Homeless... Dieing... If there
is a God, can you really tell me God cares?"

Thing quieted down after that. Then a raspy voice called from the office.
"Please come in."

The three braced themselves and walked through the door. Behind the desk
sad a man in a black suit. He had a beird and his hair was slicked back.

"Are you Death," asked Usagi.

"No. My name is Abraham. Please sit down."

The teenagers did so. "Abraham? As in the leader of the Hebrews?"

"You're not the first people to make that mistake. I'm Abraham Lincon."

"Woah!" Duo's eyes lit up and he heald his hand. "You're that presadent
during the first American Civil war."

Lincon shook his hand. "Yes. It's always nice to meet a fan. Now, let's get
to buisness. What was the last thing you three rember." Usagi and Duo
glared at Ranma.

"Hey! It was an accident!"

"Okay..." Lincon looked at his papers. "I can see here that all of you
beleved there is a God..."

"I don't," said Duo.

"Actuly, you do have a small bit of faith."

"Oh..."

"Back to the matter at hand. You all are not to be judged at this time." He
heald up a hand before he was bombarded with questions. "You three have led
remarkable lives but you also have all commited some major sins. The worst
amount them is killing, but due to the curcamstances, you all will stay in
purgatory so you have a shot at redemption."

Ranma held up a hand. "Um, I never prayed to a God or followed a religon."

Lincon looked at the nervous guy. "Still, you beleved there was a God and
tried to to your best to help your fellow humans. I did the same thing. I
could be in heaven now, but I got used to working here."

"Mr. Presadent," started Duo.

"Please, Abraham or Lincon will do fine."

"Okay... Why were you here?"

Lincon let out a sigh. "Duo, in my life, I gave orders that sealed the
deaths of many people. In trying to free the slaves, I commited many sins
for the greater good. So I ended up here."

"So we can go to heaven," Usagi asked hopefuly.

"Depends on how you all act. Redemption isn't easy to gain. Well now,
you'll be attending here what will be like a privite High School." There
was a collective groan. "Here are your room asignments, and please mind the
other students.

Author's Notes:

Okay, so I killed em' off the bat, and the chapters may be a bit short at
times.

The time lines puts SaliorMoon at God knows where, Ranma a month after his
fight with Saffron, and Duo about half a year after Endless Waltz.

I thought Lincon would be a nice touch. Tell me what you guys think.
