Lets see how fast I can C&C this...

I'm pulling an Adrian Tymes here:

Akane's vision blurred for a moment due to sheer anger, as she watched

Ranma

fondle the
Chinese girl's charms right in the middle of the street.

Ranma said, "Why sure, Shampoo, just let me get trid of Akane, here, and
we'll go."

Akane stormed up to him, furious,

But before she could get to them, Cologne appeared, hopping down the

street,

a look of anger on her withered visage. "Shampoo!" she said accusingly,
holding out a bottle with some sort of pills in it. "I see you haven't

been

taking your medicine like you were told to."

Hehehe... I think I see where this is going.

Shampoo stuck her tongue out. "Shampoo no need to take medicine anymore.
Shampoo think perfectly clear without them. Besides, it taste yucky."

Heh, cute.

In response, Cologne swatted Shampoo in the stomach, doubling her over.

She

then proceeded to quickly jam two of the tablets, and forced Shampoo's

mouth

closed. A gulp followed.

Cologne: (Annoyed) Damn, those were the birth control pills!
Ranma: (Confused) Why does Shampoo need birth control pills?
Cologne: Who ever said those were Shampoo's?

(Ranma's face turns blue and decides to not ask anymore questions)

Shampoo made a face that caused even Akane to cringe. "That still taste as
awful as Shampoo remember. Shampoo..." She shook her head, then a fog

seemed

to lift from over her eyes. She looked at Ranma, who she had continued to

Shampoo: (Staring at the two) Shampoo suddenly see things clearly.
Ranma never Shampoo's airen.

(Before Ranma or Akane could say anything, Shampoo grabs onto Akane and
gives her a fierce kiss)

Shampoo: Akane is Shampoo's true airen.  Stupid Mousse, making Shampoo
think she likes guys.
Ranma: (Turning to look back at Cologne) How's this supposed to make
things better?
Cologne: (Shrugs shoulders) Don't ask me.

glomp. Softly, she said, "Ranma, you no like it when Shampoo grab you,

yes?"

"I kinda thought that would be obvious with the way I shout and try to
squirm out and stuff," he answered.

Shampoo: Shampoo always thought that Ranma's way of saying 'I love
you!'.

"So sorry. Shampoo not take medication and not think clearly. Is something
to do with imba... imbalan... something in Shampoo's brain and chemicals.

It

sometimes affect Shampoo's thinking. Sort of like when Mousse try to see
things without glasses. Obvious things not always as obvious as they

should

be." She gained a thoughtful gleam in her eye. "Yes, in hindsight, Shampoo
has been going about winning Airen's heart all wrong. Hmm." She released
Ranma and wandered off, a calculated look on her features.

This doesn't sound good for Ranma.

"Why did what I just saw make me feel worse instead of better?" Ranma

said,

cringing.

'Ranma asked,'

Because he's starting to understand those in Nerima better ^_^

Before Akane could answer, a demure voice said, "Pardon me, Ranma-sama."

Both turned to see a decidely non-gleeful Kodachi before them.

She bowed gracefully. "I'm terrible sorry I've been such an irritant of

'terribly sorry'

late. I haven't been taking the prozac I've been prescribed. Regretably, I
have been off it for a while now, under the illusion I could get by

without

it. My family has this herditary condition, you see, and without something
to counterbalance it, we tend to be a bit manic."

"I hadn't noticed," Ranma said dryly.

Heh

"It's true," Kodachi assured him. "You should see what my brother is like
when he isn't on them."

Ranma: And what's he like without them?
Kodachi: Well... he hasn't been taking them lately, so...

(Kunou suddenly appears and grabs onto Ranma)

Kunou: My pigtailed god!  It's so good to see you again.  I see that
vile redhead witch has been trying to separate us again.  But none
shall get in the way of true love!

"You mean he's taking them now?!" Akane said in disbelief.

Hehehehe

Kodachi nodded somberly. "Anyway, I just wanted to assure you I won't be
engaging in my usual shenanigans around you. Mind you, I still intend to

win

your heart, that feeling was sincere, just that I've given up my usual
antics." She wandered off, muttering, "I still can't believe I was

skipping

around town in a leotard and laughing my head off,"

'head off.'

Ranma's jaw had nearly dropped to the ground. He slowly turned to Akane,

"Do

you have something to tell me?"

Akane: Other than that I was a guy at first and only got a sex-change
operation due to a horrible accident that no boy should ever go
through?  No, not really.
Ranma: Oh, good.

Akane laughed nervously, "Going back on my pills as soon as we get home."

Heh

Ranma rolled his eyes. He was about to say something when Ukyou appeared.

You knew that was coming ^_^

"Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late," she said

'said.'

"And are you going to start taking your pills too?" Ranma asked.

"What pills?"

"To make you act rational."

Heh, reminds me of a Simpson's scene where Homer tries to sell Abe's
sex tonic:

Homer: Sir!  Uh, hello sir!  Yes, you look like a man who needs help
       satisfying his wife.  So --

[Homer gets slugged in the face]

"Are you saying I'm not rational, and that I need to be on some kind of

mind

altering medication to make me so?! Why you jackass!" She unlimbered her
spatula and smacked Ranma on the head, flattening him. She mumbled

something

Ranma: And for a moment there I was afraid I wouldn't feel that
anymore.

about being "Perfectly rational" as she headed towards school.

Ranma smiled from his position on the ground. "At least someone is acting
normal around here."

Heh, true normalacy would probably scare Ranma ^_^

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I think in many ways that was more effective C+C than the normal banter

and

occasinal grammar remarks. I give. My opinion on the matter should be

pretty

clear. Ciao.

Ah, that you think everyone in Nerima should be under mind-altering
pills? ^_^

Ammusing fic.  Got a few laughs out of it.
