One by one, the penguins tell me I don't own Ranma. I wish I did

Mousse sighed contently as he entered the Cat Cafe. '3 til 8 with Shampoo,' he thought happily. However, as Mousse entered the cafe, Shampoo brushed past him. "Shampoo?"
"Take out order!" she said happily.
"Can I come with you?"
"No. Great Grandmother have day off. Mousse help register."
Mousse whimpered cutely. "Mousse face no work. Shampoo deliver food to customer, Mousse stay." Shampoo turned on her heel and skipped out.
~
Aranel stood before the cafe. At first she had thought that the cafe was a long way off, but even with the gobal postioning device, Ryoga had gotten lost. Eight times.
The cafe was cute looking. The smell coming from it was inviting. There was only one problem with the Cat Cafe. As Aranel was about to go in, Shampoo came out. Nabiki had some pictures of the Amazon princess, but the camera did no justice. For the first time since her birth, the clone understood that some were more beautiful then others. "How do I compete with that?"
"Simple," Ryoga whispered helpfully. "Even with his glasses, Mousse is practically blind. He won't care what you look like, and even if he did, you're beautiful."
Looking at the lost boy, the busty red head found the courage that ran in her veins. She hugged her friend. "If this works, I promise to suport you and any desendents you have for as long as I live."
Once Shampoo was out of sight, Aranel crossed the street. Pausing at the door, she looked back at the bandanaed boy, who gave her a thumbs up and a smile. Breathing deep, the clone entered the cafe.
Small round tabels filled the room. Aranel's breath caught in her chest. Mousse was at the cash register. He turned and smiled warmly. "May I help you?"
"Yea, Mousse. I'd like to talk to you about Shampoo."
The Chinese boy took his glasses off the top of his head and put them over his eyes where they belonged. He stared a moment. "Saotome?"
"Yep."
"PREPARE TO DIE!" Mousse nobelly leaped over the front desk and charged.
Aranel squeaked. 'Not what I had in mind!' She ducked and weaved about, doging his every blow, some of which the clone noticed included the flash of light reflecting off a weapon she couldn't see. 'He's good!' "Mousse, stop, you don't understand."
Mousse growled. He spread his arms and two blades appeared, ripping his sleaves as they came out of hiding. "I won't let you take my future bride, Ranma!"
"I'M NOT RANMA!" the clone squeaked. Her eyes closed in fear as a blade filled her vission. She waited for the blow, but it never came. When Aranel opened her eyes, the sword hidden in Mousse's robes was less than an inch away from her eye. She gulpped. "Can we talk now?" 'If nothing else, that was one of the coolest things I've seen in my life.' A second voice in her head pointed out that she wasn't even a month old yet, but even it was impressed.
~
"So, you're saying that by pretending to be in love with you, Shampoo will get jealous and come begging me to marry her?" After Mousse had let her introduce herself as Ranma's sister, she had began pulling him into the evil web she and Ryoga had come up with.
"From what you and Ranma have told me, Shampoo has gotten use to you following her around, doing things for her, giving her gifts. If that were to suddenly stop, Shampoo would be forced to admit she liked the attension you were giving her. She'd realise she missed you and try to steal you from me. Since we're in on this together, that will be no problem at all." Aranel grinned watching the wheels turn in the handsome Amazon's head. 'While you pretend to be dating me, I'll get you to transfer your feelings for Shampoo to me then we'll both be sitting pretty. And our dating won't be pretend anymore.'
Setting his tea down, the male Amazon took her hand in his. "Aranel, I would be honored if you joined me for ice cream and a movie this Saturday."
"I would love to," the clone purred.
"What duck-boy talk about?"
Aranel's heart sank slightly realising that Mousse had only asked her out because Shampoo was there to see it, but the voice in the back of her head reminded her that he had only just learned about her. It would be some time before she could earn the feelings she wanted.
Mousse rose, gentle indication that Aranel rise as well. "Hello Shampoo, I'd like you to meet Aranel." He slid an arm around the red head's waist. "Aranel, this is my friend Shampoo." He made a gesture toward a chair.
"Sweaty, that's a chair." Aranel hugged the arm closest to her. "Shampoo is a little to the right." Mousse blushed and moved his arm so that he was now indicating at Shampoo. "I've heard so much about you, Miss. Shampoo. It's a pleasure."
"Wish Shampoo could say same. Shampoo no know you."
Aranel smiled warmly. "Which is why we are being introduced now."
"Shampoo, I'm going to lunch. I'll be back in an hour." Mousse tightened his grip on the clone's waist and lead her toward the door. Aranel ended up out the door fine, but Mousse, having put his glasses back ontop of his head had run into the wall. Once both were outside and a safe distance from the Cat Cafe, the two burst out laughing. "That went well."
Happily nuzzling the boy's arm, Aranel made a sound of agreement. ' Oh, I love these arms. How does Shampoo resist this guy?' She purred contently.
"So where is it that you've been all this time?"
Having come up with a convincing story with Ryoga's help, Aranel didn't pale or choke when asked this. "When father went off to train Ranma to be a man, I was sent to a dojo up north to learn self defence. My sensei died recently so I've come to live with father. Since he and Ranma aren't traveling as much as they use to, he feels I'm in a stable enough setting to live in." She smiled adoringly up at Mousse. "How about you? Why did you come to Japan?"
"I followed Shampoo here. I love her and couldn't stand being away from her. When she moved to Japan, I moved with her."
'How romantic!' Aranel's eyes turned to the Cat Cafe as an evil grin formed. 'And Shampoo doesn't even realise how presious a treasure I'm taking away from her.'
~
Over the course of one week, Aranel and Mousse ate lunch together and openly flirted whenever Shampoo was near, only to return to friendly conversation when the Amazon princess left. To the clone's delight, the only problem Shampoo had with Mousse's absence was that it meant she could run off at a moment's notice to chase Ranma.
Ryoga had so far kept up his end by keeping Ranma and Akane away from the Cat Cafe when ever Aranel was there. And since Aranel wore her hair in twin buns when dressed as herself, the workers at the Cat Cafe were just as unable to see through her unintenstional disguise as Ryoga was unable to see through the many wigs Ranma wore in his attempts to trick the lost boy.
Mousse grinned at the red head across from him. He had been telling Aranel funny stories about his life. "Turns out that Happiosai had named this kid 'Pantyhose Tarou'. Needless to say, we teamed up with him to help capture the old freak. When we got him, he said he'd thought it was a good name." Aranel was choking back giggles at the story, which was more then encourgaing to the half blind Amazon. "The last we saw of Pantyhose Tarou, he was flying off into the sunset with Happisai shouting out names in hopes that Pantyhose Tarou liked one of them." The clone finally cracked up and burst out laughing, Mousse joined her. "I recall Thong Shirro as one of the choises."
"Poor guy." Finally calming herself enough to keep her face straight, Aranel asked if the boy cursed to turn into a monster [who's description sounded kinky to the clone] had ever gotten a new name.
"I'm not sure," the duck boy amitted thoughtfully. "Ranma told him to hit the perverted freak until he got a name he liked. Happiosai came back not too long after so he either got away or gave in. Since there haven't been any demonic figures about I asume he finally got a new name." Since his glasses were on, he could see Shampoo taking an order at the table next to them. 'She doesn't look at all jelous. Why aren't I more upset?' He turned his attension back to Aranel. Even with his bottle glasses, he had trouble seeing her, but he could see enough to know she was looking at him adoringly. 'Poor Aranel; she's so kind but she probally can't get any dates since she spends all her time helpping me make Shampoo jealous.' "If you want, my sweet, I could take you to see Crow's Nest Peak. We could watch the sunset from the water fortress balconey." He put his hand over Aranel's smaller one. 'So kind...'
Shampoo retreated to the kichean. Normally Mousse would drop the act when neither Shampoo or Cologne was there to see, but today felt different. Staring hard at the girl across from his, something clicked in the Amazon's mind. She was still looking at him adoringly. 'It can't be!'
"Is something wrong, Muu Muu-chan?"
"You're not pretending to be in love with me, are you?"
Her face grew hot and she knew that it was red. 'She's blushing! Oh my god!'
"Mousse, I was never pretending. Please don't be mad at me, but I offered to help you with the intension of finding a way to transfer your feelings for Shampoo over to me. I know it was selfish of me, but I just couldn't help it. I'm in love with you, Mousse. I'll understand if you don't want to speak to me an-"
The red head gaspped finding herself agensit Mousse's chest. "Not want to speak to you anymore? You sneaky little jewel!" Mousse held her tightly, feeling quite content with the girl in his arms. "Between you and I, your plan worked."

Xavier T Elenis: I know the feeling. I read almost as much as I write [only a third of which ever sees the internet] and I really hate it when the same old stuff happens over and over again. I'm kind of sad with the voting though. At first I was really happy there were a lot of Mousse/Clone votes 'cause I adore Mousse, but after rewatching my Ranma tapes, I noticed that Ranma would flirt with Ryoga all the time. Like a non stop trick [I guess why they have so many yoai fics together] so now I wish I'd done something else. Maybe I should use Aranel in another fic and put with Ryoga instead...What do you think?
Alpha Draconis 1: I happen to think Mousse looks very handsome in general. Even with the glasses. As for Ranma, I understand why he does what he does, but a lot of his problems would be solved if he'd just make up his poor little mind. I know that you could tell Kuno 'no' until you were blue in the face and he'd still think you were saying yes, so I don't hold that agensit Ranma, but he should just pick someonel, say 'this is who I choose to marry' and let that be that.
Cheese: A piggy back ride from the pig? Not a bad idea.
Neo Koneko-chan: I know! When I saw that...ew. The thought...she's be reduced to a wrinkled thing with a beak! Sure she's strong and sure she use to be pretty, but she's well over 100 years old! I'd say 114 at the youngest and Ranma is what? 15? 16? Please, that is so 'jail-bait!'
Alex Ultra: I'm really sorry if anyone is out of character, but I'm limited in my information of these characters. I have one normal tape and the collector's box set with the Best of Male Type Ranma [which is mostly about Ranma thinking he really is a girl], the Best of Ryoga, and the Rumiko Takahashi Selection, and graphic novels 1 and 4. My four tapes and two comics are spread out enough I know a lot about the characters, but until my mom finally gets it through her head that I'd rather read comic books and watch anime then join the army [not a good carrer choise for someone that's scared of blood like I am], then there will always be a whole somewhere. From what I've seen, Ranma takes what's given to him and uses it for his own gain. Fighting a guy while in girl form, flash him; Ryoga has water proof soap, suduce him and steal it; Shampoo has a cafe, string her along and mooch off her for free [or for discount]. So I thought "Get female body cloned, use her to distract enemies." If this isn't right, I am sorry, even with the help of three websites, I would never get it perfect unless I had wrote the comics myself.
jh: First, thanks for reading my story dispite the bad summary, and don't worry about the foot in mouth thing, we all get that. Ranma is even famous for it. I was a Ranma/Ukyo fan for a long time 'cause Shampoo had Mousse and Akane had just about every other male in the cast and I thought she'd end up all alone if she didn't get Ranma. Then I found out that she did have someone else. Sadly, I can't remember his name, but he's a crossdresser. Since Ukyo dresses like a boy, but likes boys and he dresses like a girl, but likes girls, I think they're kind of perfect for each other. He being the woman in the realisionship, that is
