The Dinner Party
The dinner had been arranged by Cologne as she mentioned there was a change in events which would alter the marriage claim between Shampoo and Ranma. It would be held after the meal which was meant as a peace offering with the people involved with this mess which was Ranma's love life.
The group contained the Saotomes (Ranma, Genma and Nodoka), The Tendos (Soun, Kasumi, Nabiki, Akane), The Kunos (Tatewaki, Kodachi, and their father), Ukyo Kuonji, Mousse and Shampoo. They were eating the mixture of traditional Chinese dishes which had been prepared. Cologne ate it as well. The fact the Amazons were eating their own food was making it so people didn't believe the food had been spiked with some kind of trick.
Cologne waited for the meal to be finished and then turned to the people gathered. She began her speech, "Do to the ceremonial purpose of this occation, I will be lighting incense as tribute for the spirits which guard the Amazon Tribes, appeasing them for what is to come next."
Cologne moved around the room lighting cone after cone of incense as a soft woodsmoke smell entered the room. As she did this every one in the room save for the older woman was starting to get glassy eyed as they slowed their talking down to softer and softer tones. Not noticing the change even when they stopped talking, stopped moving save for sitting... breathing in deeply and slowly as the old woman soon appeared in front of them all. Looking at the entraced people who believed they could not have been drugged.
'The truth of the matter is the food was drugged, but with a special compound which was binary in nature. The chemical in the food would have no effect on them and would be eliminated by the body... unless they breathed in the second chemical in the incense which would leave them in a state where they were awake but extremely openminded and suggestable. The third chemical I took earlier neutralizes the other two chemicals.
Now to take advantage of this situation...' thought Cologne as she activated her plan.
"Ranma and Akane, I wanted you to think of your feelings for each other. The blossuming love and romance between each other, held back by fears and pressures placed on you by your parents and their agreements. However, I know you both better then that. It's not really the romantic kind of love, is it? It's more like the feelings between a brother and sister, with all of the teasing and torment which comes with that kind of relationship. You look at each other like family, but sex between the two of you is disgusting at best. Isn't it?" spoke Cologne, knowing after all which had happened Akane and Ranma were in love. Or had been untill she spoke while the compound was in effect.
"You're right, granny. Ranma is like my brother, he teases me like one and having sex with your brother is wrong." said Akane, as she nodded in agreement.
'Yeah, Old Ghoul. Akane's my sister and having sex with her isn't a good thing." said Ranma as he nodded like Akane and like Akane both had glassy eyes.
"Ranma and Shampoo, I want you to think of each other feels. No matter what they are, I am older and I know people like you better then they know themselves. You two are truely and hopelessly in love with each other, even if it had never been apparent to yourselves till I brought it up. You also have a primal sexual desire for each other, no matter what sex Ranma is. Ranma is also not afraid of Shampoo in cat form as he knows she loves him and is not a threat. Now Shampoo go and sit on Ranma's lap." said Cologne as he great granddaughter followed the command and Ranma let her on his lap.
'Ranma and Akane were in love, now they consider themselves as siblings. Shampoo was in love with Ranma but Ranma saw her as a pain at worse and a friend at best. Now they are in love with each other. Now it's just Ukyo, Mousse and Kodachi. Both of the women are in love with Ranma, but he thinks of one like a best friend or sister and the other as an annoyance. Mousse has been in love with Shampoo, but has become a minor problem. Like a buzzing insect. Time to fix those things before I make the master changes.' thought Cologne as she figured she didn't need to change how Ranma feels just what the two women are feeling as well as change her kinsman's mind.
"Ukyo, look to your feelings about Ranma. We both know you think you're in love with Ranma, but look at them closely. It's not romantic love, it's more the bond between best friends or family members. Kodachi, look to your feelings. You think your in love with Ranma, but it was just a crush... an infatuation. Which is slowly passing as you realize he's a good man but not a good match for you. So you are falling out of love with him and looking for a better match for yourself.
Mousse, think about your feelings for Shampoo. You think it's love for her but it's really the same a Kodachi, a crush made worse by obsession. You realized the truth and now is the time to move on. Shampoo is your kinds men but her husband by our law is the man she loves and who loves her, Ranma. Time to move on and look for another woman, while bonding with Ranma and Shampoo as kinsmen." The two girls repeated the commands as agreements as their minds and emotions changed with the magical herbals in the food and incense. So did Mousse as he was changed as well.
Cologne took a moment before she moved to the master change she was going to make. She waited a few seconds and began, "We have gathered here today because we have come to an agreement with Ranma's romantic life. Kodachi and her family has agreed to no long chase Ranma. Ukyo has asked for an agreement with the Saotome to return the value of her dowery, since she is no longer interested in chasing Ranma. The Tendo clan has agreed to postpone the arranged marriage to the generation after Ranma and the Tendo sisters, unless something better comes up.
So we have all come to have a celebration meal at the engagement of Ranma Saotome and Shampoo of the Hero Women Tribe. To better know her husband and his culture, Shampoo will be moving to Nerima to start a Japanese Branch of the Hero Women Tribe. We have all agreed to this and now are celebrating the upcoming wedding."
Now for the escape plan in case she need anything, ""You will only remember the agreement between us about Ranma's engagement and his future wedding with Shampoo. You will return to this extreme trance state when you hear my voice say, "Think about it" and will only wake up when I say, "I feel a chill in my bones". Now what happens when I say, "Think about it" and "I feel a chill in my bones" ?"
The entire group collected said at once, "We will enter the trance when we hear "Think about it" and awaken when we hear "I feel a chill in my bones"."
Cologne then had a sly idea, "When ever I say "Pretty please", you will accept the next sentence I say after this as your own thoughts and/or a great idea."
The Amazon elder looked at the changes she had made looking for any problems before the emerged. She was missing some pieces like Ryoga who was hard to locate or Happosai who could cause some trouble. Yet she still had more of the formula she had used here, including a method to merge them into a single drug for instant effect. Hopefully she didn't need the chemical for the schoolmates and other Nerima regulars, as they might accept the agreement made as a possible solution. Even as unexpected as this one.
'We were bound to have a solution, even if the sure thing was on Akane and Ranma being the accept couple to finish.
