(Fifth victim of the day !)

(Five, Five little C&Cs ! BWAHAHAHAHAHA !!! <lighting ensues in
the background.) 

<snip> 

This fanfic is meant to carry on from the episode, "Am I... pretty?" in
which Ranma hits his head on the side of the Tendos' pool as he falls in,
and as a result seems to think he's a girl.  I liked this episode a lot,
and wanted to see what would happen if I took it further.  Please, folks,
don't get mad at me if I messed with your favourite character.  This is
my first Ranma fanfiction, and I don't know the characters all that well
yet.  And yes, if you're an American, you'll no doubt have noticed my
usage of 'u' in words such as favourite.  That's how they're spelled
where I live, and I apologize if it doesn't look right to you.

(Don't worry about it. I go both ways. Um...that didn't come out right didn't it ?)

C&C is welcome, but I'm going to say right now that if you want to flame
me, well, don't.  I'm open to criticism, and I look forward to hearing
other people's ideas on what's wrong with this story and how it could be
better, I just ask that if you're going to say something bad at least
make it constructive.  Thanks.  On with the show...

(Okay, I'll try to say something bad and constructive ! 
Itai ! Stop hitting me with vegetables will you ! Anyway, just kidding about that.)

Anyway, I've read it already, I'll just let you find the spelling mistakes. Why ?
Because they're the only flaws in this work, and they don't even make a dent
on the emotional impact this fic brought across. 

Do you know what you've just made here, young man ? 

A CLASSIC ! If I ever get to write something this good, I'd go on my knees and 
thank the Almighty.

Keep up the good work. It's very good for a beginner's work.

[Elsa Bibat]  BTW,  

Ranko felt a fear that wasn't her own.  She knew her cat-mind was
afraid and despite the happiness she felt from the kiss she had
shared with Ryouga, it was hard to ignore the feelings of her other
half.  The other times Ranma had come out of the neko-ken it had
been a surprise, but this time Ranko knew it was coming, the
cat knew it would soon cease to be.

"Ryouga," she said, involuntarily, in a voice she did not know.

"Don't worry, Ranko.  We'll be home soon."

"I'm afraid."

"Your family will take good care of you."

"They won't.  They'll kill me."

"They care a lot about you.  They're sure to know how to
get you back to normal."

"Please don't leave me there."

"I'll be right there and I won't move an inch until I'm
sure you're alright."

"I'm cold.  I can't stop shaking.  Please don't let go of me."

"We're almost there."

"I need you.  Hold me.  Don't let go."

As I said keep up the good work. I'll be watching you.
