This bit has a lot to do with Ranma and Akane being mellower...

Hmmm. Not bad... not bad at all... ;>

Thanks!

someday.  Ranma just wasn't sure he wanted that someone to be him, and he 
certainly didn't want it to be now.

Yes, he has grown a bit mellower, hasn't he?

See above.

	Ranma wiped his mouth on an oversized sleeve.  "So if I challenge 
her and win the food, then there's no problem, right?"
	The guide started translating this, then faltered in the middle 
when the girl started giggling.

I wonder what she would have done instead if Ranma *hadn't* challenged 
her?

Good question.  I doubt the death penalty, but Ranma and his dad might 
have been required to work off their debt one way or another...

gesture, then turned to congratulate his opponent on a match well fought.
	Ryouga was obviously surprised when Shampoo gave him a passionate 
kiss.  "What th--"  She rattled something off in Chinese.
	"She say...she say...honored customer now husband."

Hmmm. Well, the world may be dark, but it won't be a *lonely* place... 
hehehe.

	More on this in upcoming flashbacks...

bokken strikes.  He ended up right next to, and partially under, Akane.
	"Ranma, you should know, Kunou-sempai is a lot more skilled when 
he's facing a male opponent," she cautioned.
	"Really?  There's something you should know too."
	"What?"
	"I see London, I see France--"

Ouch. Obviously the curse is affecting him more than he'd thought. :)

	This is meant to be more in the line of good-natured teasing than 
the snide comment from the original...

One of these days, he'll manage to get through without a 
misunderstanding, and *then* where will he be? 

	married, most likely :-)

in case he got splashed during the day.  She'd probably meant to be 
helpful, but right now he wished he had a hole in the ground he could 
sink into.

I see. You do realize that you are now doomed? Oh, well, I'll start 
checking hospitals in your area.

	I'm not *too* worried...

	"So, what was in those pictures that distracted you so much?" 
asked Akane, when they had a bit more privacy.
	"See for yourself."  Ranma passed themn over.
	"Kunou had these?  But how--when--Nabiki!  Ooh, she makes me so 
mad sometimes!"

Well, for once he got lucky! 

	Can't lose them all...

	"Um, would you mind if I held on to one?  I mean, it's not like 
they're showing any skin or anything."
	"Welll, I guess not.  No, wait, if my sister sold them to 
Kunou-sempai, they *are* his property.  I'll see he gets them back.  Not 
that the baka deserves them."  Akane sighed.  

Gaahh! All right, when did the alien pod-beings come for Akane? 

Akane knows her property law...

SKJAM!
