Hi everyone <cheerful wave>

       I was wondering if anyone has written/planned to >write a fanfic
about a romantic relationship between Ranma-chan & Ryouga >or
Ryouga-chan and Ranma or any other possible combo.  I-- ><Uh, no
I dont think I need a psychiatrist.  Really, I dont.  >Please leave me alone.
Um, excuse me while I speak to the gentlemen in the white >coats.>

	The thing that would complicate this is the fact that Ranma thinks of 
himself as a guy, whatever his form.  Takahashi did do a story in the Manga 
where Ryouga tried to use a magic fishingpole to make Akane fall in love with 
him, but got Ranma instead.
	Well, off hand I can think of two ways to justify such a situation:
1, Seperation.  Seperate Ranma's male and female sides, and then have Ryouga 
acompany Ranma-chan on her quest to Jusenkyo so she can use the Nanichuan to 
become Male at least part of the time.  However by the time they reach the pool 
and learn the curse wouln't affect her, she's gotten used to being female and is 
starting to fall for Ryouga.
2, Love potion mishap.  Colougne obtains and starts translating a european 
Alchaemic grimour, and Shampoo sees a love potion entry and makes and tries it 
on Ranma before Colougne gets to translating the part which says the potion only 
works on Women.  Ranma is thus unaffected when Shampoo gives it to him, but when 
he fights with Ryouga shortly afterward, he gets splashed and the potion kicks 
in.  However it only affects her when she's female, when male he's unaffected.
