[Ratiko wakes up groggily after the effects of the Passion Spice wear off...]

Ratiko: Where... Where am I? [He looks around, and discovers that his world
has suddenly turned pink and frilly.  Rat seems to be in a bed.  A small
bed.  A pink bed.  And there is someone in it, next to him.]

Female voice: [From under the covers...] Oh... Ratiko-sama... I don't know
what I ever saw in that OTHER...  Thing...  From now on, I only want to be
with YOU!

Ratiko: I.. Er... [Nosebleed]  Er... Who are you?

[The figure crawls out of the covers.]

Figure: You can't remember? OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH!

[Ratiko's eyes widen.]

Ratiko: No.  I wouldn't... I can't... KODACHI?!?!?

[Kodachi smiles seductively and reaches towards Ratiko for a second round of

Ratiko: Hold it right there!

Chris: Rat, stick to the script.

Ratiko: There is NO WAY I am doing a love scene with Kodachi!

Chris: Look, Rat, I have to conclude this thread SOMEHOW, and it was either
Kodachi or Azusa... Besides, I think Azusa was already taken.  Be a nice
little char, and...

Ratiko: Looks like you forgot something, Mr. Writer....

Chris: Huh?

Ratiko: As my ancestor once put it, "It is a mistake to make me unhappy!"

[Ratiko begins to glow.  Chris begins to sweat. A lot.]

Chris: Look, Rat... No reason to get upset...

Ratiko: NO REASON? NO REASON?  First, you GIVE my GF to RANMA, and NOW you
set me up with what has to be the most UNAPPEALING character in the Ranmaverse!

Kodachi: [From the bed...] Don't leave me, Ratiko-sama!

Ratiko: [To Kodachi] Quiet! [Turns to Chris.  The ki-flames are growing in
intensity...]

Kodachi: But, Ratiko, I LOVE YOU! [This is the last straw.  All of Rat's
energy is released in a single, uncontrolled blast, which sends Kodachi
flying into another window, and knocks his writer unconscious.]

Ratiko: [Shakes Chris's prone body.] I WILL NOT BED KODACHI!  GOT THAT?  [He
proceeds to tie Chris up with what's left of the bedsheets.] [Thinks to
himself.] <Such audacity must be punished... But how? Hmm...>

[Ratiko snaps his fingers, and Chris disappears.]

Childra: Welcome to your sig file, hon.

Kim: ...

Chris: Oh, boy...

Cytherea: [Waving to a char in another sig file...] Hi there, WW!  We've
