"Why don't you ask yourself," Ukyou asked. "Have you looked at yourself, Shampoo?"
"Of course. What is wrong with the way I look?" Shampoo demanded turned to display her powerdressed body. She had been cute and sexy before but now she looked classy and sophisticated. "What? You don't like it?" Shampoo pouted.
"Like he didn't say that," Ranma disagree. "I like it and I think the boys do too. Just a mo, let me check."
"Yeeks!" Ukyo ekked.
"Whinney!" Hiroshi brayed. "I mean, 'eek'!"
"They do," confirmed Ranma spunkily, "they really do!"
"Wait, you did that to yourself on purpose?" Ukyo demanded as she reajusted her crotch and glared at the teifling cheerleader. "Your speech too?"
"Oh, yes," Shampoo confirmed. "I got a part time job at the New U Salon and thought, hey, I might as well take advantage of the employee discount. It took all of my savings, but I think it turned out okay, don't you?"
"Yeap," Ranma confirmed. "You're like, totally hot, girl friend. I'd totally do you in a minute."
"Why, thank you, Ranma darling," Shampoo glowed, "that was the effect I was hoping for. Well, kinda."
"So, this new U Salon does makeovers like that?"
"Sure," Shampoo confirmed. "I mean, if you pay for it, their magic makeovers can work wonders. Most customers go just for the cheap Bimbeau makeovers though, but there's just no accounting for taste, is there? Still, as they say, the customer is always right and, if they like that sort of thing, who am I to argue? Me, I much prefer the smart and sexy look, don't you?"
Ranma nodded her horned little head. She filed away the facts. New U Salon worked magic, and bimbeau makeovers were cheap. That could be useful if Akane's makeover turned out wrong.
"Okay now, what happened to you guys? Why do you look like you stepped out of a Fantasy and Fetish adventure?"
"Magic shoes from a mysterious disappearing sports centre," Hiroshi explained.
"Enchanted confectionary at a magic cafe," Ukyo grumbled."
"Sweet Temptations?" Shampoo asked. "Ranma too? Tsk. Well, you should be okay then; I'm fairly it'll wear off ~ otherwise they'd never get repeat customers. I think. And Hiroshi, maybe if you just take of those shoes you'll change back."
"They're nailed on!" the centaur protested.
"Honestly, Hiroshi, that's no big deal," Shampoo confided. "I've got blacksmith equipment back at the nekohattan. Or ... we could just rip them out right here with our bare hands."
"Er, I'll take the blacksmith equipment, thank you very much," Hiroshi gulped.
"Awe, we was going to the pet store to pick Akane up," Ranma protested.
Shampoo blinked. "You mean to pick out a pet for Akane, don't you.... er, you don't do you?"
"Yeap! I do," Ranma nodded. "She was like cursed to turn into a dog when angry by a totally pissed off sorcerer."
"How amusing," Shampoo smirked. "Oh, so when you went to the petstore to get a colar and stuff," guessed Shampoo knowingly, "you went into one of these stores?"
"Yup. Furries 4 U," Ranma confirmed brightly.
