Britanny, who was standing by Asrial, blinked her eyes once, then twice as she looked over the device the Salusian made. "What is that? A piece of jewelry?"
Asrial looked over to Britanny. "No! This little baby is the 'Auto Male-Maker 3000'!" Her smile twitching slightly, she continued speaking. "You see, this will detect whenever Ranma's body mass changes. It will then spray a warm mist of water onto Ranma, changing him back into a man!"
Britanny blinked. "But what if he's walking through a river? Wouldn't that thing be useless since he'd be soaking in cold water."
Britanny then regretted saying that. Her second Master's shoulders began to shake, and she was losing her composition. She then fell to her knees and was failing at holding back her tears. "Hey, Asrial, it's okay... It was a good idea what you made. Really..."
Britanny was surprised as Asrial actually growled and threw the device across the clearing. "Dammit, I can't do anything right!" Asrial tyhen covered her face with her hands. Her shoulders were trembling and she began to cry.
Ranma couldn't stand to see this. He was about to put down the buck and go over to Asrial, when he felt Jetta place her hand on his shoulder. His gut instinct was telling him to go over and try to comfort the Salusian Princess, but the way things have gone from time-to-time here, Ranma knew he should listen to his Pokegirl's advice. "If it gets worse, I'm going over there."
Jetta nodded her head. She just felt maybe Ranma should find out what's bothering her first, before he goes over and help the Salusian.
Britanny walked over to the distraught Salusian and sat down next to her. Putting her arm around Asrial's shoulders, Britanny asked, "Asrial, you're really upset about what happened earlier, aren't you?"
Asrial took her hands down from her face, tears were easilly seen pouring down her face. She nodded her slowly. "I can't believe I was so STUPID! I ruined what we had!"
"Oh, you didn't ruin your relationship with Master." Britanny said. "I'm sure he'll be okay and you two will get together again in no time."
Ranma gulped. He knew what was obviously upsetting Asrial now...
Asrial shook her head. "No. No, it won't. Don't you realize what I did? He was in female form and I WANTED to try it! I'm ashamed of myself for even wanting to experiment with him like that! Worse, I can't believe *I* actually felt him up when he was a woman! I practically FORCED him into sex! Do you know how he looked at me afterwards!" Asrial's voice was trembling, she could barely speak. "He... He was afraid! He was afraid of ME because of what I DID to him!"
Britanny sighed and patted the sobbing Salusian princess on the back. "Hey, we all make mistakes. I'm sure Master will understand..."
Ranma looked over at Jetta. She finally lowered her arm. Bending over, Ranma put the buck on the ground. He then walked into the clearing. "Hey, Asrial."
Asrial practically jumped as she heard Ranma's voice. She was then moving her hands, wiping at her face. She was trying hard to hide the fact she was crying. "Ranma! When'd you get back?"
"A while ago." Ranma said. Seeing Asrial's eyes widen slightly in a mixture of shock and fear, Ranma walked over to her and sat down on the other side of Asrial. He wrapped his arms around her. "It's okay, Asrial. I do forgive you. You just scared me a bit is all. I'm just not comfortable with the fact I turn into a girl, and I wasn't expecting you to touch me like that..."
Asrial blushed. "Ranma, I am still sorry! I promise you, I won't do anything to you unless you want it!"
Ranma nodded his head. "Fair enough." Ranma then stood up. He walked back to the edge of the clearing, where Jetta was standing and he picked up the buck. "Now, how about we prepare dinner and eat?"
Asrial sighed. "You don't ever stop thinking about food, do you?"
