Hi all.

	Y'know, Redneck, the one thing that *really* grabbed me during this was
the following line:

Splashing through the rain-soaked streets of Nerima ran a red-headed
young woman, chest Gainaxing mightily beneath the loose confines of the

red Chinese peasant shirt she wore. 

	'Gainaxing'?  It's a gerund now?  *chortle*

	Keep it up.  It looks like fun.

Yep. Her first line is: "Ranma Saotome! Your angel of death has come for
you!! Prepare to meet your ancestors!"

A lot better than, "RANMA! I KILL!" isn't it? }:-{D

"Shampoo too busy to fight. Shampoo reading 'Paradise Lost.'"

Shampoo also reading Stephen Hawking, Geoffrey Chaucer, Cicero, and
every book on fighting ever written. She's a bookworm, but she's still
the best fighter of the Amazons. 

	I can see it.  

*THUD*

	Akane put away her hammer, and went back into the house, her pie
revenged upon.  Ranma sprawled across the living room, wheezing out
'kawaiikune' as if it were his last breath.  Shampoo, in the doorway to
the backyard, shook her head.  "Why do I feel like I'm in a bad remake
of 'The Taming of the Shrew'?"
	Kasumi shrugged, and held up a bottle of tanning oil to Shampoo.  "I
dunno.  Look, do my back?"
