	"Aiya! Look at message we get!" Shampoo pulled the fax from the 
machine at the end of the counter.
	"Shampoo why are you talking that way?" Cologne bounced in on her 
battle staff.
	"Is cute Chinese talk! Ranma like me talk like this. Anyway,
look at message." 
	"Let me see that." Mousse grabbed the menu from next to the Fax
machine and began to read. "Ramen... Mu shu pork... Hey this looks just
like our menu, why did someone fax this to us?"
	Shampoo pured a pitcher of cold water over him. "Stupid Duck. Is
message from Emperor."
	Ranma got up from his table an joined the group. "The Emperor?
Wow, why would he send you a fax?"
	Shampoo quickly scanned the message. "Seems he not like 'U'."
	"Ranma..." Akane joined them. "Don't tell me you knocked him
into a spring too."
	"Hmmm." Ranma thought a moment. "Not that I recall. I wonder
why he doesn't like me."
	"Him not say that, him only say he not like 'U'."
	"What did I ever do to him?" Ranma looked confused.
	"Not you, "U".
	"Quack quack?" Mu-mu asked.
	"No, not you, "U".
	"Who me?" Akane asked.
	"Aiya." Shampoo sighed.

	The door bowed ominously inward, and twin pre-teen girls burst in.
	"Let me see!"
	"No, me first!"
	"Lin-lin, Ran-ran, how did you get here?" Shampoo eyed her young
cousins.
	"Is plot device." Lin-lin started.
	"..you see." Ran-ran finished, grabbing the paper. The two moved
to a table and studied the fax.

	The others watched silently while the minutes ticked by.

 	"He not like 'u'." they finally said.
	
	The others fell to the floor.
	
	"Who doesn't like me? Ryouga asked.
	"HEY THAT'S MY LINE!" Ranma shouted. "Anyway, where did you come
from?"
	"Shut up Ranma, I was just...."
	"Oh wait, I get it, he no like English letter 'U'" LinLin said,
holding up the message.
	"So, what's that got to do with anything?" Ranma asked.
	"He no like see Ryouga spelled with 'u'..." LinLin started.
	"... he want no 'u'. Ran-ran finished.
	"But, I don't even have a 'u' in may name, or any other English letters,
just Kanjis." Ryouga scratched his head.
	"Oh I get it, he's worried about the English spelling." Akane said.
I'll show you. Ranma, how would you spell 'Ryouga'?"
	"P, c, h, a, ..." Ranma guessed.
	"Who's P-chan?" Ryouga pounded Ranma on the head with his umbrella.
	"Stop it you two." Akane stepped between them. Anyway, can't we
just explain that it doesn't matter?"
	"No, it says here him no want explanation, him no want to know.
Me think he want to stay ignorant." Shampoo looked over the message
shaking her head.

	LinLin and RanRan began to giggle.
	"What's so funny?" Cologne asked.
	"If ignorance bliss..." Lin-lin started.
	"Emperor must be very happy man!" Ran-ran finished.
