This story was written in response to Sebastian Weinberg's MST3K-style
criticism of Thy Inward Love. In it, he wondered what Ranma and Nabiki
were up to in parts 5 and 6. I thought it was subtle but obvious;
evidently it was more of the former and less of the latter than I
thought.
So, in the space of a couple of hours, I tossed off this story.
Gyeeeeh!
You're too fast! Somebody tie Richard down so we can catch up to him. I
was just working myself up to reviewing _The Ways of the Amazons_ and
you've *already* written another one. Aaaaaaaargh!
I may
incorporate into TIL, although it's hard to find a place to fit it. I
may just junk it and put in a simple thank you from Ranma to Nabiki for
her help with the ring.
I thought that a few sentences on the roof, explaining Nabiki's role in
choosing the ring, would have done the trick.
Ranma: Nabiki helped me buy it - that's why I didn't destroy her stereo
just now.
Akane: [looks lovingly at the ring] You know... This is almost worth
having had to face Shampoo alone.
Only a bit more "melodramatic". :)

Speed Force?)
