Well, I was on r.a.a.c reading a fic when this little story came to me.
Hope you enjoy!

***********************

        Ranma sat at his desk, looking despondently at the book in front of
him.  "Aw, man.  I can't believe Ms. Hinako is making us memorize this.
What does this have to do with my life, anyway?"  Ranma gazed up from the
book, and looked around his room.  He noticed the way the boards came
together to form the floor, the differnt patterns formed by the cracks in
the ceiling tile, the picture of his mother on his desk..."Mom..." Ranma
whispered in a rare moment of depression.  He often thought about telling
her about his curse, just so that he wouldn't have to lie to her anymore.
Telling her would almost assure his death, but could he bear to keep lying
to her?  Ranma shook his head to clear the thoughts, and turned back his
assignment.  "Maybe if I read it out loud, it will help."  Ranma buried his
head into the book.  "To be, or not to be, that is the question.  Whether
'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of Outrageous
Fortune, or to take arms against a Sea of Troubles, and by opposing, end
them."  Ranma stared at the book with a confused expression on his face.
"ARRRRRGGGGH!!!!  I STILL DON'T GET IT!!!!!!!"

Like I said, I read a story on raac that intergrated a speech from
Shakespeare into Ranma, and it turned out pretty good.  If you want to know,
the story was entitled 'Perchance to Dream', and was written by Ann Packrat.
And if you want to Hamlet's entire soliloquy, get someone else to do it.  I
did it once, and that's all I'm ever going to do!  And if you think about
it, that speech really does apply to Ranma.  Scary thought, huh?

I now return you to your regularly schedualed mailing list.
