So set up a reply-to: field.

: Akane coughed. "Ranma? I know you've probably told us your life
: story plenty of times, but please...for us, could you tell us once more?"
: The new woman perked up. She'd been expecting this..."Well, I was
: born in Tokyo, the only daughter of Genma and Nodoka Saotome.
[snip]
I liked the "alternative history" that Ranma tells here.
Particularly the engagement to Ukyou.
: "Tell us about Jusenkyo," Akane interjected.
: The girl's face darkened. "I...Pop always wanted a boy and he
: made no effort to conceal his desires. One day, we went to this 'training
: ground'. Some training ground. Pop found the spring he wanted, then
: shoved me in."
Gee, how could he do *that*? What a despicable version of Genma
we have here. ;)
: "What...you two DO like girls? It would explain your clothing,
: Ucchan..."
:D :D
: "NOOO!" The howl of rage was like one they hadn't ever seen from
: Ranma. She leapt in front of Shampoo, and deflected her attack with ease.
: A moment later, the Amazon found herself at the receiving end of a
: viciously fast Amaguriken, not quite as powerful but far more difficult to
: block. She flew back to the near wall, unconscious. Ranma approached her
: still form, and carried her to the table. She then looked to her friends,
: concern etched on her features.
Shoulda done that ages ago.
: Ranma turned her head down for a second, and then mumbled in a
: barely audible voice. "You know how my dad raised me, and how much he
: wanted a boy. For a time, I actually forgot that I was a girl, until
: puberty that is. By then dad had me dying my hair and bandaging my chest,
: even enrolling me in an all boys school."
Innnnteresssting. Someone should write a series based on thi. :)
: The locker room was also a big improvement as well.
: When she had changed with the other boys in the school, Ranma
: always had to be cautious, especially when taking a shower after class.
: There had been numerous attempts to splash her with cold water on many
: occasions, sometimes succeeding. There were a lot of males who thought
: that her having a female form would be great. At least from their point
: of view. Ranma had never really liked change rooms because of that.
I found the changes in the social environment and their effect on
Ranma highly interesting. This is shaping up to be a really great
series.
: "Kunou, you idiot! I am the male Ranma Saotome as well! It's my cursed
: form! I LIKE GIRLS AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR IDIOCY!"
: She then punted him into the sky...
Shoulda done *that* ages ago, too.
: Shampoo watched this from her perch on a tree just outside the
: school. She still couldn't believe that her airen was acting like a girl.
: Despite what had happened in the classroom, she was convinced that Ranma's
: brain had been affected by a shampoo or a spice of some type. Seeing the
: violent girl and the spatula-wielding one acting so friendly was also
: annoying. Perhaps her great grandmother could help. *Don't worry, Ranma.
: I will find a way to rescue you from these two violent girls who _think_
: that they have a claim on you. I will change you back to the man you
: were!*
Oooh, I can feel another song coming up. Based on the Beatles"
_Michelle_ perhaps?
"Shampoo -- drop dead!
Those are words that go together well"
Drat, doesn't rhyme. Hmmm, _Hey Jude_ then?
"Shampoo, don't make me mad.
Go back to China and just forget her...."
Yeah, that could work. :)

"Kunou-sempai. You should know that I have held some very
deep-rooted feelings for you for quite some time."
"Osage no onna! Can it be...?"
"Yes, Kunou. I HATE YOUR GUTS!!"
