She's so cruel when she splashes me.

If I was blind, would she take away my cane?  If I was lame, would she
kick out my crutches?

She wouldn't cut it off with a knife, but the least little provocation
and out comes the bucket to wash it away.

And it's all great fun, because it's only temporary.

Has she forgotten the Cat Tongue, the Chiisuiton?

Next time I might not be so lucky.  Any day now I could get stuck
forever in the cursed girl form.

Then she'd be sorry about all the precious moments of my masculinity
she's stolen away with her jokes.

I'll show her how funny it is.

Next time she splashes me, I'll grab her and give her a good girl to
girl kiss, right on the lips.  And I'll rub my ample talents against her
stick figure.  Let's see how she likes that.

But.

What if she responds?  What if she likes it that way?  What if what she
really wants isn't me, it's onna-Ranma?

She sure seemed happy to see me that first day, in my girl form.  When
it turned out that I really was a boy, she was shaking.  From what?
Anger?  Probably.

She's always been very relaxed and supportive, whenever I'm stuck as a
girl.

Is she relieved that I'm a girl and so her father can't force us to
marry, or that I'm that girl, the one she's really interested in?

In the play, I put tape over Kuno's lips, because I couldn't bring
myself to kiss a guy, whatever the prize.  Is that why she put tape over
my lips?

During the melon race, she complained that I was about to kiss her, as a
girl, in front of other people.  Was she really afraid they'd see her
reaction?

I'm not the only one to notice how strangely accommodating Akane is with
my curse.  Shampoo calls her a violent pervert girl.  Shampoo sure
called the violence right, maybe she's right about the other part too.
She comes from an amazon society, probably she's seen this before.

Even if Akane is that way, I'd still love her.  Could I stay a girl
forever for her?

That's crazy.  Akane's all woman.  She just doesn't show it very well.

Still, I'd best not try it.
