I've noticed an increasing number of Ranma/Akane contemplate life type
fics out there.  I asked myself why doesn't anyone do Shampoo?  That was a
fic waiting to happen.  so I did it.
This is a Shampoo fic as she thinks about her relationship with Ranma and
Mousse.  No it's not a Mousse gets Shampoo fic.  you'll see.


Thoughts on Life (tenative title)
Shampoo (1/?)

It was a clear night in Nerima.  The stars were out in force and the
cresent moon shone brightly overhead.  Shampoo sighed as she lay back on
the roof roof of the Nekohanten and gazed up at the twinkling stars above.
<What a beautiful night,> she smiled, then her smile faded, <I wish my
husband were here to share it with me.>
Shampoo watched the stars as they moved across the heavens.  A tear traced
its way down her face.  <Why isn't Ranma here with me,> she thought,
sitting up, <am I not beautiful, strong, and skilled?  What more could he
ask for?>
<Maybe,> she swollowed, <he thinks the others are better than me...>
<No!> she thought shaking her head, <I'm prettier than Ukyo and Akane.>
<I love him,> she swollowed as another tear rolled down her cheek, <why
can't he see that...>  Shampoo's thoughts were interrupted by a clattering
inside the Nekohanten.
"Mousse!" came Cologne's disparing cry.
<Stupid Mousse,> Shampoo thought with a smile.  her old childhood friend
had a way of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.  <He always trys
so hard,> she thought, <Why can't he see that I don't like him that way.
He's always interfereing with me and Ranma.  He's always trying to grab
me.  He's just like...me...>  Shampoo sat there silently, grappling with
the thought that had just made itself clear to her.

Well here's the first part.

Tell me what you think.

C & C are welcome,
flames will be put out.
