"Nabiki, how do these costume shifts happen? I've been wondering," asked Ranma.
"Haven't a clue, Ranma," admitted Nabiki, "but do you KNOW how much a genuine Coffeehouse Beatnik getup like that's worth on E-Bay? HelLO dojo downpayment."
"Well, that settles it," said Soun. "You have the best interests of the dojo at heart. We should switch the engagement to you until Akane recovers."
"ExCUSE me?!" asked Nabiki.
Soun flinched for a moment, then just went ahead with the idea. "You'll have to accept the engagement to Ranma since Akane will have difficulties right now."
"WHA-" began Akane. bzzz "Oh. That's nice."
"I'm engaged to Ranma?" asked Nabiki. flik "That's absurd."
"Uhm, Nabiki?" Ranma started making a pointing gesture.
"Look what happened to Akane," said Nabiki. "Do you want - Ranma, if you have to go to the bathroom just go. All that hopping around and waving is distracting."
Ranma reached slowly over and tugged at something on Nabiki's neck.
"..." went Nabiki as she felt her neck. The look she turned on her father was cold and calculating. No anger was present, no spike in blood pressure or heart rate.
"Na-Nabiki?!" said a startled Soun, seeing the collar there.
"So that oh-so-fittingly blonde genie set it up so that anyone identified as a 'Ranma fiancee' has a collar like this?" asked Nabiki.
"You're mad at your father, but it didn't turn on - maybe it's broken?" asked Ranma hopefully.
"I DON'T WANT TO -" hzzztik "ohhhhhh. So that's what that feels like." Nabiki relaxed and idly felt the little beret on her head. "Hmmm. This could just be profitable."
