Cologne: We have tried so many times, and failed each time. All our knowledge of spices and spells has been useless. Shampoo: What we to do, Great-grandmother? Shampoo no want to give up on Ranma. Cologne: We have failed because Son-in-law's willpower has always been greater than our spells. We must remove his inhibitions, his control, so that he will take you, bonding him to you forever. Shampoo: Sounds risky. What if Ranma not want Shampoo? What if Ranma leave to soon? Cologne: That is why I have been reluctant to do this. The results can be violent. Son-in-law could become uncontrollable. Shampoo: Shampoo can control Ranma. Ranma love Shampoo, just cannot admit it. Cologne: That is what I am relying on. We will invite Son-in-law over for a free meal, and you must be prepared to give yourself to him fully at that time. Shampoo: Hiya! Ranma finally be with Shampoo forever! Cologne: We shall see, we shall see. Scene cuts to Ranma and Akane running to school. A bike bell rings, and Shampoo comes crashing down on top of Ranma. Shampoo: Nihao Ranma! You come to restraunt for free meal this evening? Ranma: Sounds good Shampoo! You know how I love your cooking! Akane: Oh? And just what is that supposed to mean? Ranma: Uhh... Nothing Akane, just that I like her cooking. Akane: And I suppose that you don't like MY cooking? Ranma: Well, you know that you can't... Akane whips out her mallet, bashing Ranma into the canal. Akane: Ranma no baka! Go ahead and visit Shampoo this evening. See if _ I _ care! Ranma: Fine then, I will! Kawaiikune tomboy. Akane storms off, leaving Ranma to hurry after her, with Shampoo calling after him Shampoo: Shampoo see Ranma tonight! Scene cuts to the Nekohanten. It is dark out, and Ranma is sitting in a booth. There are no other customers, and the shop is semi dark. Ranma: Shampoo? What is taking so long? Shampoo: (Offstage in the kitchen) Shampoo be right out Ranma! Cut to the kitchen. Cologne is adding several spices to the pot of Ramen on the stove. Cologne: Now remember Child. Ranma could become violent. You must be prepared for him to do anything. Shampoo: Shampoo understand. Shampoo control Ranma with her love. Cologne: Very good child. Let us hope that it will be enough. Scene cuts once again, showing the kitchen doors. Shampoo comes out with a large bowl of Ramen, and the camera follows her to Ranma's table. Shampoo: Here you go, Ranma! Eat up! Ranma: (already shoveling the noodles in his mouth) Thanks, Shampoo! This is delicious! Ranma shovels the noodles into his mouth for a few more seconds, then a glazed look crosses his eyes. Shampoo comes over to Ranma then, snuggling in closely. Ranma: Wha... I feel strange... What did you put in those noodles, Shampoo? Shampoo: Something that will let Ranma give himself to Shampoo once and for all! Ranma: (Anger etched on his face) You drugged me AGAIN! Haven't you learned yet that I am not someone to be toyed with! Shampoo: But, Shampoo love Ranma, and Ranma love Shampoo! Shampoo just want us to be together forever! Ranma: (The anger seems to be even more evident, if that is possible) I am NOT a puppet! You will NOT control me like this again! Ranma shoves Shampoo onto the floor, and throws a wicked punch. Shampoo looks defiant, sure that Ranma would never hit her. However, Ranma connects, and does not looked like he pulled his punch. Shampoo goes flying across the restraunt, througn the kitchen doors, and landing at the feet of a shocked Cologne. Cologne: It is as I feared. Son-in-laws will was the only thing controlling a violent temper. Ranma: (offstage, yelling) Cologne! I am coming for you! You will NOT use me again! Ranma bursts into the kitchen, tearing the doors off of the hinges. He is surrounded with a battle aura that rivals Happosai's, pure hatred etched on his face. Ranma: Face me, you old Bitch! I WILL teach you not to mess with me! Cologne: Even this mad, son-in-law, you know you cannot beat me. Ranma: Let's find out then! Tetsu Amaguriken! Ranma's punches are all blocked by Cologne's staff, but Cologne begins to show fear on her face, as Ranma's punches start speeding up, causing Cologne to back away. Cologne: (Thinking) His willpower is astounding! It fuels his abilities like I have never seen! His control must be incredible! (out loud) Impressive, son-in-law. Your anger is fueling your skills, but even that is not enough for you to defeat me. Ranma: You think so? (Ranma snaps his fingers, and Cologne's staff falls apart) If you EVER call me Son-in-Law again, I will KILL you, and you now know I can do it! Cologne: (thinking) He might just be able to do that. (Out loud) Son-in-law... Ranma: I warned you, old ghoul! Now it is time for you to learn that I am not to be ignored! Ranma launches himself at Cologne, who dives out of the way. Ranma, however, catches her leg as she flies by, and drives her to the floor. Ranma: Now you will remember the only lesson you need to! Do not mess with me! (Reaching over, Ranma grabs a knife from the counter) Tetsu Amaguriken! Cologne tries desperatly to stop Ranma's attack, but the knife only shreds her hands and arms as it plunges down again and again. Finally Ranma stops punching, a small pool of blood and body parts all that remains of Cologne. Ranma looks over at Shampoo, just now starting to struggle up from the floor. Ranma: Look well and learn. Persue me again, and I will do the same to you! Shampoo: But, Shampoo loves Ran.. Shampoo gets no farther, as the knife flies from Ranma's hands to sink deep into her right shoulder, causing her to drop in pain. Ranma: Never again! Or you die! Ranma turns and leaves the Nekohanten, heading out into the night. As the screeen fades to black, Ranma is heard saying that it was about time Ryoga learned his lesson as well.
