All Ranma ½ characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi. They don't belong to me-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e! Aw well. It's always fun to write stories about their lives. Am I right? Eh? Am I? ALL NON-PROFIT STORIES!!I had to say that. Heh, heh.

Chapter 5: Advice
"Ranma?"
"Hmm."
"Why did you teach Mousse that move?"
Ranma shrugged. "It seemed like a good idea at the time..."
"Oh."
He leaned back and stretched out on the grass. "Akane do you think they'll get married?"
Akane hugged her knees. "They have to. Why?"
"Cause I was to supposed to marry her, but I didn't wanna. I don't think-no cancel that- I know Shampoo definitely doesn't want to marry Mousse or have anything to do with him. And you what he said to me? He said that he wanted Shampoo to love him like he loves her. That's a good thought, but I don't think it'll happen. Mousse is a smart guy. I feel bad for him..."
Akane nodded. "Me too. But I don't feel bad for Shampoo though. She deserved it."
*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*
Two days after the battle, Tofu allowed Shampoo to go home.
"No! Dr. Tofu no make Shampoo go home! Please. Shampoo still no feel good."
Tofu shook his head. "Maybe you don't feel well emotionally, but physically fine."
Shampoo looked down at her bandaged hand. "Please..." Tofu looked at her sympathetically. He dragged a chair from against the wall and set it down beside her bed.
"Why don't you tell me what so bad that you can't go home. Maybe I can help."
Shampoo raised her head and stared at him curiously. "Ok. I tell. I no want marry duck-boy. He too-too fond of Shampoo. He too determined and want Shampoo to date with him."
Tofu nodded, a small smile forming on the corners of his mouth. " I see. That sure does sound like what you were doing to Ranma."
Shampoo thought a moment. [Ranma, come date with Shampoo! Airen tell truth how much we love! You love Shampoo, yes? Is Mao Ma Lin legendary bell...You keep as pair and couple get married! Bad Ranma, you go fight for Shampoo!] She blushed in embarrassment. "T-that very true."
"Continue."
"Okay. When Shampoo go home, Mousse want to take advantage. I no love."
"You love...?" Tofu prompted.
"Ranma!" She said cheerfully.
"Are you sure you really love him or is your law making you?"
Shampoo opened her mouth, but no words came out. Tofu raised his eyebrows.
"Uh-huh."
"Doctor?"
"Yes?"
"How I get here?"
"Mousse told me to take care of you."
"..."
"Mousse is a very nice man. I know he won't take advantage of you. I believe he loves you very much. He is a good person. You should get to know him better before you say you don't like him."
"That what great-grandmother say..."
" Maybe you should give what we said a chance?"
"I try-no-I will." Shampoo smiled. "Thank you, Doctor Tofu."
He stood up and pushed the chair back in place. "Anytime. You can always come here for a chat. He walked toward the door.
Yes! I don't have to go home! He didn't say! Yes! Yes! Yes! Shampoo thought, her smile broadening.
"Oh, and Shampoo, you still have to go home. I'll give an hour, okay?"
Damn. "Okay." Shampoo blew up her bangs in defeat.
*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*
Mousse took his glasses off. Good. I can't see anything... He was sitting in the tub, not moving. Shampoo will definitely hate me now. I can't marry her if she hates me. Maybe I'll let her choose her husband. He slid into tub so that the water was up to his chin. Someone knocked at the door.
"Mousse? You should get out now, or you'll change." Putting his glasses on, Mousse stood up wordlessly and wrapped a towel around his waist. He opened the door and walked past Cologne without a word and went in his room, closing the door. Cologne waited a few minutes, walked over to his room. She knocked on the door. "Mousse, may I come in?"
"Hmm."
"I'm taking that as a yes." She opened the door to see Mousse looking out his window. "How did you defeat Shampoo?"
"Dragon's Heaven-Blast." He answered, his voice lifeless.
"Oh? And did son-in-law-er-Ranma teach you?"
"Yes.
"Are you going to marry Shampoo now that you've reached your goal?"
"No."
"Don't you love her?"
"Yes."
"Then why not marry her?"
Mousse sighed and finally looked at Cologne. "Because she hates me. I want her to love me."
"Did she say that?"
"Uh, actually yes, when I was trying to turn Ranma into a duck..."
"Well I'm sure didn't mean it. Give her a chance."
"..."
"Good night, Mousse." Cologne hopped on her staff and said one word before she left. "Dinner."

Author's Note:
So how didcha like this chapter? It was stupid and short. Gomen (means sorry for all you non-japanese-speakers out there) Aw well. You gotta wait for a while for the next chapter. Again, gomen. Should I just say sorry? I am so confused. Okay next chapter Mousse is going to ask Shampoo on a date. Will she say yes or will she make roast duck out of him?! Find out next time on 'Following Rules'!!! La-ah! Oh...and Chapter Six will take me a wee bit longer cause-um- I started half of it, but it's so bland! If you want to, could all you readers give me some ideas? I'd appreciate it so much! Thanks and bye!
