Greetings from a much calmer Erin 2.5,

    I have a couple of reasons why this is being posted separately: 
1) I had spent four hours in the school's computer lab typing the 
second half out and the lab was technically closed when I sent the 
fic, and 2) the more important reason, the ending of "The Letters" 
still gets to me every time I read it. This is not an ego boost, this 
is an honest fact. So I felt that I shouldn't glut up the ending with 
this tripe here.

    But anyway, on to the really major announcement:
    
              ---THE STORY'S NOT OVER YET!---
  
  Someone (can't remember who right now, sorry.) asked me if Ukyou 
was really dead and if so why did Cologne tell Ranma and Co. about 
the cure in the first place. The answers are (taken in reverse) 
Cologne seems to know just about everything anyway, and I personally 
think she likes to show off every so often, and as to Ukyou being 
really dead, allow me to plug my next fanfic:

    "Ukyou is dead. Or is she? If she is, who's the person that 
Ranma's been seeing every night for the past week? Is this Ukyou 
returned from the grave or something much worse? And how far will 
Ranma go to uncover the truth?
    (Cut to a shot of Ranma being arrested.)
    "Coming soon from Erin Mills v2.5, "The Shadows!"
    
    *heh-heh-heh*
