I am thinking of writing a fusion between Ranma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura. 
Ranma will have to beat Shampoo, the Oni-Amazon princess, in a tag race 
in order to save the world. Of course, his victory also means his 
marriage to her. However, there are two parts where I am stuck:

1. How will Ranma catch Shampoo in the tag race? Ranma would not do what 
Ataru did, namely pull off her top to distract her, so what would he do?

2. What would motovate Ranma to agree to allow Shampoo to move in with 
him? In UY it was Ataru's multibillion yen cab ride (see episode 1 or 
chapter 3 of the first volume of the manga) that did it, but what would 
work with Ranma?

Ranma, from what I have seen, was intentionally made by Takahashi to be 
nearly the exact opposite of Ataru. Note that Ataru is sneaky, devious, 
without shame, and an unpopular, skirt-chasing lecher, while Ranma is 
honorable, good-hearted, and has all of the girls chasing *him*, despite 
the fact that he doesn't want them. This is why I need some help with 
these two parts. Any ideas?
