Here are chapters 1 and 2 reformatted through that text reformatter that 
someone posted a while ago.  I've attached them to the email as well as 
pasted them on here... Please tell me which method I should stick to in 
the future.  Sorry if it's too big, I can always re-send it, just ask.

{Only chapter 1 was reformatted so I couldn't read chapter 2.}

Cologne pinched her chin thoughtfully.  "There are a couple of
things I can think of.  One of them is if Ranma were to simply give
Shampoo a child.  Even bringing one strong child into the tribe
would be acceptable."

Ranma-kun and Ranma-chan both chimed in at the same time "NO
WAY!  I could never abandon my child!"  They looked at each

{A compromise could, of course, be reached on that score.  
Shampoo could raise the child for at least a few years 
in Japan and upon returning to China would be bound
by a vow to send the kid back for training with Ranma 
at the age of 14 or so.  Or Ranma and Akane could move
to China.  A more serious problem is Akane's willingness
to give Shampoo even one night with Ranma.  Artificial
insemination isn't the kind of compromise that would fit
into Ranma 1/2.  A more probable compromise is of course
a betrothal between a child of Ranma and a child of
Shampoo, gender permitting.  Or perhaps an agreement
to raise their first daughter under Amazon law and 
send her to Jusendo when she turns 16.}

Cologne turned her narrowed eyes at the middle Tendo sister.
"What do you have on your mind, little one?"

{"Child" might work better.  Nabiki's no infant.}

Cologne nodded.  "That would be fine."  She perched her staff
against her shoulder and rubbed her hands together.  "Now, on
with the cure.  Kasumi, do you have any willow bark?"

{Kasumi:  Is that an ingredient for the cure?}
{Cologne:  No.  Talking to you people just gives me a headache.}

Nothing had changed.  Akane gasped loudly at the sight of Ranma-
chan and Ranma-kun standing next to each other, still completely
separate beings.

{It seems to me that at this point someone would leap to the conclusion
that it was Ranma-kun who chickened out.}
