Really nice, Donny. I don't see why it's sad, though -- even from your
point of view. Ranma still has the rest of them! :-)

One reading of it is that Shampoo did not in fact love Mousse, but
wanted to see Ranma's reaction, hoping that Ranma would come and 
challenge Mousse for her hand. The sad part would be that Ranma
did not, and now she's stuck with Mousse.

I thought the point of showing Mousse unconscious (presumably 'cause
Shamps decked him) was that she *wasn't* marrying Mousse; it was just a
bluff to see what kind of reaction they'd get from Ranma. My guess would
be that Donny considers this sad merely because Shamps didn't get Ranma.

The point of showing Mousse unconscious (we concur that it was most likely
due to Shampoo) could be to show that Shampoo did not, in fact, love
Mousse, as Ranma and the others are led to believe.
	We do not believe this scene to contradict, in any way, our previous
statement, and do believe that it can be used to strengthen our position.

(What's with the plural personal pronouns, you ask? It has nothing to do 
with speaking for others... my opinion just counts more than any singular
person's.... Sure, it's extremely egotistical of me, but at least I'm not
saying that I'm speaking for other people, eh? ^_^)

Other views?
