The boy didn't understand the Art. The boy WAS the Art.
Besides, law or no law, no WAY was she going to try to force the
lad who had killed Saffron- SAFFRON, dear Gods, SAFFRON- to go to
China. She liked her little restaurant in one piece.
Her little body, also.
I like this version of Cologne. Frankly you could do a story
with her in the lead and have a winner.
In other words, the Paragon was leading two entirely
separate
lives-- BESIDES that of the Paragon-- as far as Japan was
concerned,
with the exception of two residents. One a doctor, one a
rabbit.
Exercise increases the production of Testosterone, which
controls the sex drive. So in Nerima, the boys after a year
or so of fighting Akane are all oversexed and in Juban the
girls from fighting off the forces of evil are the ones who
do the chasing.
I still have trouble picturing Doctor Tofu and a rabbit
co-operating in advising Ranma how to fight.
So it was with curiosity she saw her new friend Naoko peering
intently into her compact (although Usagi didn't know why--
Naoko-chan was so pretty!) and scowling. Maybe she had a blemish.
Approaching, Usagi curiously poked her face straight into Naoko's
to see what possible blemish the pretty redhead could have.
Of course Ranma's still got his usual luck with the
ladies. I just had a horrible thought what if Neo-Queen
Serenity got involved in this. With Ranma's luck she would
be from a future where she never did find out who the
Paragon was. Actually this could be fun, a Chibi-Usa from
one future and a Neo-Queen Serenity from a different future.
Give Pluto some serious headaches.
"Well, he IS the man who wrote the REAL protocols for the
American Military computers. I STILL get the giggles when I think of
all those hackers who THINK they have penetrated the Pentagon's
security," Wong chuckled.
You know this would make sense if the US government were run
by sentient beings. I haven't seen much evidence of that
yet.
"Aw, Naoko-chan, what's wrong with pink?"
Sometimes I wish I could see this as an anime.
"MAMO-CHAN!" Mamoru braced himself for the almost bullet-like
impact of Usagi's hug. He wasn't dissapointed.
Sometimes I am just as glad I can't.

"I guess I'm just an old-fashioned sentimentalist at heart.
I refuse
to accept a no-win scenario. I hate the thought of a
universe without
justice. If the maneuverings of dark powers can't be
exposed and
defeated by the pure of heart, then there's no point in
anything. I
can't believe that."
