The Lady's Dilemma is a recent fic by Small Pink Mouse. I'm just continuing
the fic. ^_^
If the story continues...
Come on, come on!!!! Think Shampoo think! Could Akane be trust? Yes?
No? Little time left. She better decide fast if she's going to switch the-
Wait a minute!!!
Shampoo got very, very, very good idea!!!
* * * * * * * * *
Akane bit her lips, her trembling fingers moved secretly but clear to
Ranma's sight towards a door.
Ranma smiled trustfully at her, but then the smile fade away as soon as
the sorrow in Akane's eyes came into view. He took a deep breath, and pull
over the heavy door...
Everyone gasped.
Ranma just stared.
Akane close her eyes tight, her hands covering her ears.
The king... the king... well, the King gave a deafening yell.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!!!"
Behind the door was...
Nothing.
"Huh?" Ranma finally voiced, confused. "Nothing at all? No Shampoo? No
tiger? No 'Airen!!!Shampoo so happy!!'. No 'Roar! I'm gonna eat you up!'? No
fighting to stay alive? No-"
Ranma, I think we've got the idea. You can stop now.
The king was devastated at the out come.
Ranma was still confused.
The crowd was disappointed.
Shampoo was still waiting patiently behind the door she thought Akane
would choose.
And Akane was at the moment the most relieved and happiest person in
the world.
* * * * * * * * *
It was finally decided that, since Ranma had chosen a door that had
magically turned empty, the gods or whatever must have decided to give the
boy a neutral chance. And so, with the decision made, the king departed for
bed in disappointment, and the lucky trio, which the gods seemed to kept a
special look out and performed a miracle, left with three fast horses and
large bags of gold.
* * * * * * * * *
"So, what actually happen?" Ranma asked aloud. "I bet the readers want
to know too."
Akane shrugged and turned towards Shampoo, who had just join them and
seemed to be out of breath from running. {I wonder what she meant when she
said she had some unfinished business...} Akane thought, remembering
Shampoo's sudden run off a while ago.
Shampoo smiled proudly. 'Tiger and Shampoo in cage."
"So?" Ranma asked, still confused.
"Cage lock until door open."
"So?"
"Cage lock tiger no get out attack." Shampoo continued.
"So?!!! Get on with it, Shampoo!" Ranma shouted impatiently.
"So Shampoo just pull cage away from door. Put cage in 'safe' place,"
the Amazon beamed at her own intelligence. "Then, Shampoo wait behind door.
But Ranma no open door. Ranma choose door of nothing."
"Oh!" Ranma and Akane nodded, finally everything's clear.
And so, the trio rode off into the sunset.
... ...
"Wait, what happen to the tiger?" Ranma's voice called out.
"In very good place," came the answer.
"Shampoo, your unfinished business... it is...?"
* * * * * * * * *
The king stared in mixed horror and nervousness at the note stuck
between his bathroom chamber and bedroom chamber. Sweat was dropping from
his forehead uncontrollably.
[Shampoo give bad king (who dare try hurt Airen) quiz.
Shampoo make Chamber of bane and Chamber of blessing.
One got mean old tiger that very hungry because no get
to eat Ranma, one got nothing. Choose Chamber of
blessing to keep life, if choose wrong... hahaha!
PS. King cannot runaway or call guards. Shampoo lock
door and destroy lock when king come into room. Bad
king can only escape though door of blessing.]
So, the king looked back and fro at the chamber doors. Which door
should he choose? The right one? Or the left one? The bathroom? Or the
bedroom?
Time is... uhhh running out, because if he just stay there, he's going
to die of discomfort and hunger.
--------------------------------------------
There, up till the end, we still don't know which door Akane had chosen. It'
s a mystery which only Shampoo and Akane held the answer.
