Another episode of 'I Dream of Ranma.' I'm not going to say that this is my
favorite fanfic, but I do like it. I just have a few comments.

What good would telling the truth do? *Yes, Doctor, I'm afraid
this patient seems to be suffering from acute lovesickness, coupled with
terminal stupidity.* A psychomatic illness, really.
Maybe 'psychosomatic'.
Never mind that Ranma was such an idiot that he'd inevitably
screw up any wish she made. Never mind that she'd be stealing from her
*sister* -- the sister who probably probably deserved it less than any
other person in the world.
One too many 'probably'.
Nabiki nodded, and took her hand off the phone. "My cousin Ranko
will be happy to go with us," she said, returning to her airhead
schoolgirl voice. "Oh, I'm so excited! See you soon, Mr. Mendo."
Quoting Kasumi, "Oh my!" Just what are we getting into. ^_-
Mendo raised an eyebrow. "Must you be so crude, Moroboshi? You
treat fine delicacies as if they were instant ramen. Women like Nabiki
and Ranko should be admired as works of art."
"I *like* instant ramen,* Moroboshi grumbled.
Be afraid, Ranma. Be VERY afraid! ^_-
Moroboshi sprang forward and wrapped his arm around Ranma's
waist. "By letting you get used to it!" Ranma's fists began pounding on
him, but he held on with an iron grip.
See what I mean.
Naaaah. Of course it couldn't. How did such a silly thought get
into his head? It was probably Lum, sending him messages from space.
Fortunately, she wouldn't be back to Earth for another couple of weeks.
You know, maybe Ataru just might learn a lesson here. Naah.
Oh, and I did skip the Akane as Kasumi while Kasumi shows up. Too much of a
headache.
"Ah, thanks, Kasumi." Tofu nodded as he accepted the bottle. He
turned around and stepped out, letting the door swing closed behind him.
No, he certainly wasn't going to see any... any more....
The bottle slid out of his hands and dropped into the dishwater
with a 'ploop.' "AAIIIIEEE!" he screamed.
You know, I do feel sorry for Dr. Tofu.
An inner voice scolded Akane. *Next time you use your genie, I
expect you to do it in a responsible manner, young lady.* When she was a
child, teachers used to lecture her like that about fighting. She'd
thought that once she was older, no one would talk to her like that
anymore. Boy, had she been wrong.
Gee, someone in the Ranma universe actually learning a lesson. But then
again, I'll take seven days in the betting pool on how long the lesson lasts.
"ALL RIGHT! I'LL GO SEE THAT SPECIALIST!"
Yep, I do really feel sorry for Dr. Tofu. ^_^
"Oh, don't worry." She chuckled. "I won't wish for anything
bad."
Um, is this the "Famous Last Words" statement? Just wondering.
All in all, another fine episode. Just the two problems at the start of this
post.
James Holzhauer (aka Tobimaro [Ton-chan])
---gee, I just realized. Shuu-chan was in this episode, and I didn't
once try to get him. A shame, really.
