It was while Ranma was walking along the street that the car passed by, drenching hi...her in a spray of cold water.
Gritting her teeth and growling under her breath while ignoring the windchill and the fact that she was soaked, Ranma turned to look at the store next to her. The New U Salon. She didn't know much about taking care of hair, but she knew it involved water. So maybe she could get some hot water in there.
Ranma stepped into the store and instantly a woman strode right up to her and started talking a mile a minute.
"Oh, you poor dear!" the woman said. "You look like a drowned rat, and right outside our store, too. Tsk."
"Yeah," Ranma said. "Could I have..."
"I makeover?" the woman finished. "Well let's see, shall we?"
"No, I just want," Ranma started to protest until she saw the woman holding a familiar wallet and looking through it. "Hey! That's mine!"
"OH! You've got plenty of money here," the woman said. "I can give you the full treatment."
"That money's for Akane's trea..." Ranma protested. "I don't want a make-over."
"Really," the woman said, coming around behind her and taking a strand of drenched red-hair in hand. "And you so need one, too."
"Look," Ranma said. "I just...what do you mean I need a makeover?" Ranma's rather bizarre sense of pride in his girl form took a step forward. "I'm the hottest thing in the neighborhood."
"Tsk," the woman said. "If you keep treating yourself like you have that won't last long."
"Treating myself like what?" Ranma grumbled. "Look, lady, I just want to be a martial artist and not have to worry about all this silly girl stuff!"
"Ah aha, a gender crisis," the woman declared. "That explains the odd speech and behavior. Well, one martial artist who doesn't have to worry about being a girl coming right up!"
"Look I don't..." Ranma sighed in defeat. "Oh what the hell, might as well see what all the girls keep gettin' these makeover things for."
