"But great grandmamaaaaa," whined Shampoo.
"At last! Now you're mine, Shampoo!" Mousse told a suddenly very nervous customer. "Now we can be married!"
Cologne let out a deep breath. There were times she felt very very old indeed.
"Shampoo was saying 'no' to Mousse for many year before Ranma ever show up," Shampoo reminded the cratered Mousse. "Shampoo would marry complete stranger before marry Mousse."
Mousse pulled himself up and glared at that last remaining customer. "For stealing the heart of my Shampoo, I cannot forgive you!"
"Shampoo is not YOUR Shampoo. And was just example." Shampoo began to look thoughtfully at the customer. "Though Mister Customer do look cute and if Shampoo not get airen then maybe someone else help Amazon on rebound..."
The customer was trying to decide if fleeing for his life would be construed as a mortal insult.
Mousse pulled himself out of the crater slowly. "But Shampoo, my sweet, can't you see that we're destined to be together. We come from the same village, we speak the same language, we're of the same culture, and I've loved you since we were children!"
Shampoo glared at the duck boy. "If that so, then why Violent Pervert Girl not marry Stupid Stick Boy? Same argument mean they destined lovers, yes?"
Mousse blinked. "So if I get Akane and Tatewaki Kuno married, you'll marry me? I'll arrange it at once!"
Cologne, Shampoo, and the customer all blinked at the dust trail left behind as Mousse ran off.
"...but that not what Shampoo say. Stupid Mousse. He never look. He never listen. With him it always all about Mousse." Shampoo grumbled to herself then noted Mister Customer hadn't gone running to the horizon. Hmmph. Maybe if she dated someone else it would make Ranma jealous and he'd come to his senses?
Cologne cleared her throat. "Back to the subject at hand, Shampoo. You might consider other paths to take if you still intend to gain Ranma's affection. Clearly your current methods of winning Ranma's attention are not paying off and now that he is walking a path to enlightenment, are not recommended."
"How else could Shampoo win husband? Shampoo try open affection. Shampoo try sneaky. Now Great Grandmama say maybe should give up entirely. Shampoo no want give up, Shampoo love airen!"
Cologne nodded. "I've been in love myself, Shampoo. Sometimes it just doesn't work out. In any case... oh dear."
Shampoo looked from Mister Customer to her Great Grandmother, both of whom had gotten the shivers at the same time. How odd. "What is?"
"I feel a great dark disturbance," said Cologne, her eyes narrowed. "Something wicked is in the air."
