many for Shampoo to even attempt to block.  Nearly every one connected,
each with power that Shampoo never thought Mousse capable of mustering.	The
last hit sent Shampoo flying into the wall.  Just before passing out, she
heard Mousse one last time.

A gleeful, triumphant yell attracted Ranma's attention. He turned, and
noticed Mousse jumping up and down.

"Does it hurt yet, SHAMPOO?" Mousse shouted, a maniacal grin on his
face. "Do you still think I'm a gullible idiot, SHAMPOO? Do you?"

"Huh?" Ranma looked down and noticed someone who lay sprawled
unconscious on the ground. It was Shampoo. "Mousse? What the heck did
you do?" He ran over to try to revive the Amazon.

Mousse gazed down defiantly. "And who are you?"

"Whaddaya mean, who am I? I'm Ranma, you jerk!" Ranma pulled Shampoo
away from Mousse's reach. He'd seen Mousse act weird plenty of times
before, but old duck-boy had really gone off the deep end this time.

"HAH!" Mousse shook his head smugly. "You CAN'T be Ranma! Because I
happen to know where Ranma is!"

"Oh yeah? And just where is that?"

"There, that's where." Mousse pointed down to the unconscious girl at
Ranma's feet. "As if dresing up like Shampoo could fool me."

Ranma stood up, and reached to the top of Mousse's head. Gently, he
pushed the glasses onto his eyes.

Mousse looked across and saw Ranma.

Mousse looked down and saw Shampoo.

With a painful moan, Shampoo began to stir.

"Um... oops?" Mousse began slowly backing away from the scene, and soon
turned and broke into a full run.

Ranma bent back down. "Um, you okay there, Shampoo?" She wasn't
bleeding, and it didn't look like she had any serious injuries. She'd be
all right. Soon she'd go and find Mousse. Then the *real* pain would
begin.
