Chapter 1, Shampoo's Reaction, "Disgust"

    Shampoo's mind was filled with primarily one thing:  disgust.  Pure,
unsullied digust.  She loved Ranma - or she had - for many reasons, not the
least of which he had defeated her in combat, proving that he was strong in
body.  His spirit, enduring his curse, had proven strong, as well...until now.
    She couldn't believe what Ranma had just done.  It just...well, it
revolted her.  Ranma had given up - there was no other words for it.  And
if Ranma was to give up, Shampoo could give up as well.  
    "To hell with stupid laws," she grumbled in her somewhat stunted
Japanese, standing up.  "I no can marry woman-Ranma."  
    That was true, she couldn't.  But...now what could she do?  The answer
came to her immediately:  Mousse.  
    Yes, this could turn out very interesting.

Chapter 2, Akane's Reaction, "Not Worth the Price"

    Yup, she had been right.
    Ranma was definitely a pervert, and there was no way he...or she,
rather, could dispute that now.
    Still, Akane glanced longingly at the Nanniichuan water - she loved
Ranma, to be sure, but was her love strong enough to...turn herself into a
man over him?  
    Turn myself into a man.
    That thought echoed several times through her head, and she shook it
violently.  Nope, definitely not.  No matter how much she loved that
pervert, she wasn't going to do *that* for him.
    "Pervert," she grumbled sourly.  
    Now what?

Chapter 3, Ukyou's Reaction, "Sweatdrops and Indecision"

    "R-Ran-chan..."  Her mouth still hung slightly agape.  Ranma had just
turned himself permanently into a girl, and she had just sat there and
watched.
    As much as she disliked it, a bit of disgust welled up in herself at
herself.  And at Ranma.  How could he shrug off his responsibility like
that?  It was just...well, not right.  But then, she wondered...
    ...had she ever given Ranma a reason to believe she really cared?
    The Nanniichuan water.  She looked over nervously at it, a single
sweatdrop running down her cheek.  That would be proof that she cared about
Ranma, proof that even that stubborn fool couldn't deny.  But at what cost?  
    That much was obvious to her.  Her womanhood.
    Another sweatdrop, and then indecision rocked her. 
    What to do?

Chapter 4, Ranma's Date, "Two Girls and a Boy...Sort Of"

    Ranma smiled sweetly at Ryoga, who was staring wide-eyed at her.
    They were sitting in the small park - actually, kind of romantic.
[author's note:  no, I'm not giving a long drawn out description of the
feeling of the gentle breezes and other nonsense]
    "W-why are you smiling like that, Ranma?"  Ryoga was stuttering
nervously.  "You called me here to duel, right?"
    Ranma giggled.  "Of course not.  I called you here for a date."
    Ryoga's jaw dropped.  "A date."
    "That's right."
    "Er..."  Ryoga said intelligently.  No, that wasn't right.  He tried
again.  "Ya see," he explained smoothly.  No, no, no.  "...gak..."  he said
in suave tones.  
    "Is that a yes?"  Ranma asked, smiling cutely and hopefully.
    Ryoga managed to babble a little in response.  Was this a joke?  Was
this even Ranma?  Why was he acting like this?  "Er...heh..."  Ryoga
scratched the back of his head, laughing nervously.  "G-go on a
date...b-but you're...a guy...and I..um..."
    "A guy?"  She laughed musically.  "I've remedied that problem.  I'm 100
percent woman, forever."
    Several evil thoughts poked their way into Ryoga's generally pure
consciousness.  If he was a woman forever...that meant Akane was free!  And
that also meant...he grinned, showing his fangs.  That also meant that he
could rub it in Ranma's face.  "So, I guess I get Akane, hm?"  He asked in
a taunting voice, smirking.
    She looked hurt.  "You'd choose an ugly tomboy like Akane over someone
like me?"  She demanded in a malicious tone.
    Now Ryoga was confused.  "Er...yes..."  He stammered, before realizing
he shouldn't have said that.  Real tactful, dolt, he chided himself
angrily.  He looked back to Ranma - what was *wrong* with him?...er, her.
Whatever.  She seemed serious about this, too...
    "Yes?"  Ranma laughed.  "Well, it wouldn't be fair for only one of us
to lose, ne, Ryoga?"
    "What?"
    "Silly.  If you aren't going to choose me, you're not going to choose
*any* woman."
    Ryoga snorted.  "And why not?"
    Ranma picked up a bucket that had been sitting behind the tree, with
Ryoga's eyes following it nervously.  "Girls don't choose girls."
    Ryoga, in all his wonderful logic, didn't quite get that.  If he had
been paying attention, he would have noticed the label reading
'Nyanniichuan' on the side.  "Huh?"  He protested ingeniusly.
    Hearing this, Ranma grew annoyed and threw the water on him.  Ryoga
cursed, expecting to feel the change from human to piglet...but it never
came.  Instead, he felt a sort of jolt through his chest, and...somewhere
else, as well.
    "..."  Ryoga commented smartly.
    Ranma patted Ryoga on the back.  "And now..."  She threw another bucket
of water on him, with a big English label on the side reading 'PERMANANCE
WATER USE WITH CAUTION THIS CAN SCREW UP YOUR F****** LIFE.'  
    "..."  Ryoga repeated.
    She smiled at Ryoga.  "So, Ryoga, how's it feel to be a woman for the
first time?"
    Ryoga, now female (for good) gaped, poking her breasts experimentally.
One thing registered in Ryoga's mind:  This is a Bad Thing(tm).
    Meanwhile, a lone male figure entered the park and walked up to the two
boys-turned-girls.  The new male was handsome, with long brown hair tied
back into a loose ponytail.  He was also wearing what appeared to be one of
Ukyou's outfits.
    The young man walked up to Ranma and bowed, offering her a single rose.
 "Ran-chan, will you go out with me?"  He asked, grinning at her.
    Ranma jumped on him and kissed him.  "One of you did it!  I *knew* one
of you would!"  In his ear, she whispered, "Thank you, Ucchan."
    Ryoga, meanwhile, had a complete mental shutdown.

Epilogue, "It's All Weird Where We Come From"

    Ranma, now female, and Ukyou, now male, were now a couple and happily
married, though not the way Ukyou had intended, it was good enough for her.
 Hell, she was legally registered as a boy anyway.  Sex between the two of
them was interesting, to say the least, and within a few years, they had a
cute baby boy who they named Kouma.
    Ryoga, now female, got hitched to some girl named Akari who was
apparently a pig-obsessed bisexual and thought Ryoga had cute fangs.  To
solve the problem of not being able to have children, Akari splashed
herself with Nanniichuan water (of the non-permanent variety) and
impregnated Ryoga, and nine months later, they had a healthy baby girl who
Ryoga insisted they name Akane.
    Shampoo married Mousse and they went back to China and nobody gave a
rip that they were gone.
    Akane ended up married to some strange crossdresser guy named Konatsu.
