Once upon a time, there was an author.  An author with FAAAAAAAAAAR more
good ideas (in his mind) than actual ability to get it onto the page.  An
author who went from no girlfriend, no job, and no life, to near-fianc�e,
job, and well, still no life, but quite the game addiction.

Now that the excuses are over with, here's a teaser for the next installment
of ARST, which, if the gods smile upon me and the perturbations in the
aether are favorable, I will have for your reading enjoyment sometime next
weekend.

So, a teaser.  This would make somewhat more sense if you read chapter one
and two, I should note.

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

Those denizens of Nerima who have come to know Mousse have often commented
that the young man has a peculiar way of looking at life.

Example one:  His amusing (if ultimately doomed) attempts to become captain
of the Kendo Team without actually knowing Kendo.

Example two:  His conclusion that if one young Japanese female didn't want
to date him, he'd have to defeat her first.  (Not quite so peculiar to one
purple-haired Amazon, but this was Japan.)

Example three:  His belief that it was less reprehensible to have several
dozen other people beat on someone than to actually do it yourself.

Example four:  His assumption that the reason said same purple-haired Amazon
came to Japan was because of him.

Hence, Mousse taking a good long look at Shampoo, then and charging towards
her, arms wide, crying "My darling Shampoo, you came for me!"

Now, before we continue, let us digress into the examination of another
individual's thought patterns:

One:  Creeps are to be pounded.

Two:  Girls are to be protected, especially MY girl.

Three:  That guy strikes me as a creep.

Four:  Said creep is about to try to glomp MY girl.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Ramna Saotome.  Mousse, meet Ranma's foot as he
introduces it to your face.
