Note: This story is being based off of two seperate episodes that have nothing to do with each other that I haven't seen. I have, however, heard about them, and am pretty sure this is based off of canon material...and if not, hey it's still a fun mental image, ne? *gryn*
"Yo, Principle Kunou!" Ranma sauntered into the principal's office, not bothering to be formal; the man would never notice anyway.
"Aloha! It's time for your weekly hair cut!" As usual, the principle was wearing a palm-tree-hat, an astoundingly brightly colored Hawaiian shirt, and he was holding two very sharp pairs of shaving razors.
Ranma froze. Aw man, not this again!
Then Ranma had a wicked idea.
"Sure, Principle Kunou. I'll just sit in this chair and you can go to work."
The principal's eyes nearly popped out of his head, but they were blocked by his sunglasses. Yowling, he leapt towards Ranma's head...
...just as Ranma untied the thread that held his pigtail together...
and his hair started growing like mad!
The principal mowed down Ranma's hair, but it grew back just as quickly. Cut. Grow. Cut. Grow. The floor was covered in silky black hair. Realizing he was up against an unusual adversary, the principal brought out his secret weapom: a huge pair of scissors, the blades of which were easily as long as his arms. Laughing maniacally, he continued to attempt to cut off Ranma's hair. The hair kept on growing. The principal stopped laughing and started swearing. Sweat poured down his face. Ranma just sat in the chair, smirking, with his arms crossed over his chest. Desperate, the principal resorted to his ultra top-secret weapon: a lawn-mower!
But still in vain! As quickly as the principal cut Ranma's hair, it grew back!
"Hey, sir, are you done yet? I'm supposed to be in class."
Principal Kunou let out a bloodcurling scream. "No! No! It's not possible! AYIEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
He ran straight through the wall, in a direction that was vaugely towards Hawaii.
Ranma shrugged, and used his Katchu Tenshen Amiguriken technique to tie his hair back into a braid with the dragon's-whisker thread. His hair stopped growing. He dug through all the hair lying on the office floor, and eventually found an abandoned razor.
After getting his pigtail back to the length he liked it at, Ranma Saotome went back to class, hands in his pockets and whistling serenely all the way.
Meanwhile, the maid went into the Principal's office to empty the trash can...a blood-curdling scream echoed through the halls...
Heh.
Okay, to explain...Principal Kunou is both obsessed with Hawaii, and with shaving people's head. Particularly Ranma's, since Ranma's hair is longer than regulation length. Years ago, Ranma did something-or-another that caused his hair to grow like crazy. The only way to stop it from growing is to tie it back with a dragon's whisker. When I heard all this, a scene just popped into my head and wouldn't go away.
Many thanks to Allison for the idea about the lawn mower. =)
