The 3 Days of Springtime
Chapter 1
Shampoo looked at the calander that hung in the resturant. It was 3 days until the first day of spring. Spring was Shampoos favorite
season. The sakuras blooms showered the streets with soft pink petals, and a welcoming fragrence. It was all so romantic. *sigh*
Shampoo wish Ranma come for date... Her thoughts were broken when she heard a crash upstairs,and she was supposed to be the
only one home this morning! Silently she stalked up the stairs to her room, and slowly opened the door, waiting to attack....
but nobodywas there. "Is empty!" Shampoo stated in surprise. Indeed it was, save for a small box covered in pastel pink tissue paper
on her bed. Shampoo reached for the package, when suddenly she heard a small *meeewww* emitting from the small box. She
quickly opened it to find a small white kitten with a purple collar. Shampoo giggled as the kitten purred violently and licked her nose.
"How you get here?" She then noticed a small card at the bottom of the box. Inside it read : "Shampoo, you are as cute as a kitten..
..3 Days until spring. Love Mr. X" Shampoo squeeled with delight! "Ranma must be Mr. X! Have to be....but kitten...he so scared of
cat. Kasumi-lady must help Ranma get kitty." Satisfied with the explaination she gave herself, she took the kitten and brought it
downstairs...into the kitchen.
"Child! You didnt!!!!?" Cologne said, completely shocked at what her granddaughter did. "You bought a kitten?! Why in the world did
you do that for?" {ed: "What do you THINK happened?"} "Shampoo no buy kitten..is gift from Ranma!" Mousse choked on his tea and
spluttered, "Ranma?! That fool? I cant belive this!!!" The kitten jumped on Mousses lap and rubbed its head on his belly. "It is really
cute, though...whats its name?" Shampoo thought hard, "Tenshi! Means angel in Japanese..she look like angel." Cologne picked up
the kitten and held it, "We must keep her out of the way of customers, Shampoo take her upstairs to that spare room, give her food
and water and make a litter box for her." Shampoo nodded. "Mousse. Open the door to let the customers know were in business!"
Today is a good day thought Cologne.
The day ended without inccedent. Ranma didnt come by either. "Shampoo, I have something for you!" Mousse walked towards her. She shuddered inwardly, Not new gift...Mousse can be so predictable! Shampoo spun around to face...a small piece of paper. "One of the customers left it." Mousse gave it to her and walked away. He seem so depressed lately.. her attention was drawn to the bit of paper in her hand. She read it: "Shampoo, seeing you each day makes me love you more and more! Tomarrow is going to be good for you. Sweet dreams...Mr.X" Shampoo was excited. Would Ranma come to marry her tomarrow? Wait! Ranma wasnt even in the store today!!! WHO was Mr.X? People Shampoo know here today..Ryoga, Konastu, Tsubasa, Kuno, Saskuke...so many. Shampoo cringed at some of their names..she was also puzzled. None had shown any intrest to her, except for that on time when Ryoga met up with the whole gang at the beach, and Shampoos top fell off in front of him. He followed her around for the rest of the day. Come to think of it, everytime he sees her, he blushes and get a nose-bleed! Ryoga? Shampoo thought to herself as she walked upstaris to get Tenshi. The kitten was excited to see Shampoo. She picked it up and went to bed with the small kitten nestled under her neck.

Chapter 2
Shampoo woke up to Tenshi licking her cheek. "Crazy cat, you so sweet!" She noticed her window was open. Funny, it close last night. Shampoo than noticed another package, this time wrapped in light blue tissue paper. "Mr. X come already?!" Shampoo ran over to her drsser and took the package with care. She set it down on her bed and began to open it. Inside of the box this time, was a small sun catcher, made from delicate crystals and glass. I was in the shape of a flying crane. Crane is good luck in Amazon village... Shampoo was confused. She picked up the card at the bottom of the box. It read : "Dear Shampoo, I hope you like this. I thought it was nice and delicate, just like you. Remember 2 days until spring. Then I will show myself to you, until then, Farewell, Mr. X"
That day, customers commented on the lovely sun catcher, and the rainbows it casted on the floor. "Child, it looks lovely in the front window, where did you get it?," Cologne asked. "Shampoo no buy it, Mr. X give this morning. He show himself, first day of spring!" Cologne looked pleased, "This man, seems very worthy of my granddaughter, it MUST be son-in-law." Shampoo nodded, then looked up. Ryoga walked into the store. He looked at Shampoo and smiled. Shampoo see now if Ryoga Mr.X!! Shampoo sauntered over to Ryoga and leaned onto his table. Ryoga noticed her chest pressing ever so close to him. "Uhh...Ummm h-h-hhi Sh-hampoo." Ryoga looked as if he was about to faint. "Hi Ryoga! Want you like?" Shampoo batted her eyes for effect.Behind her, Mousse was also serving, and he couldnt help but laugh at this display. Shampoo gave him a sharp jab with her elbow and Mousse stopped."Uhh Shampoo? Id like the number 5 lunch special, if you dont mind?" Shampoo slid over the table and into Ryogas lap. "Pig-boy no rather have Shampoo? You know you like!" Ryogas eyes bulged out, "Shampoo! Get off! What if Akari sees me..and you! Arrgggghhhh!!!!" Ryoga ran out of the resturant as fast as possible. Ryoga not Mr. X. Shampoo, just have to wait. Shampoo was relived that Ryoga wasnt the one. He was cute and all, but not to smart, and way too shy. She continued on with the customers.
At the end of the day, Mousse sat beside Shampoo,"What in Kamis name were you doing today?! You drove Ryoga, Kuno and Tsubasa out of the store...Shampoo, what is going on?!" Shampoo explained to Mousse the events surrounding Mr.X and the gifts. It seemed strange telling this to Mousse, but they knew each other for years, and it seemed natural to talk over some problems with him. In fact, Shampoo realized that he had become very mature! No longer did he flip out when she jabbered on about Ranma, nor did he smother her with hugs and gifts at evey chance he got....smother Shampoo blinked. She smothers Ranma the way Mousse smothered her! No wonder he never asked her on any dates! "Shampoo? Shampoo?! Hey are you listening to me?" Mousse tapped her on the forhead, than cringed, expecting a smack upside the head. None came, instead Shampoo hugged him! "Shampoo thank Mousse for everything." Shampoo got up and went upstairs to bed, leaving a stupified Mousse alone. "I guess this Mr. X thing is worrying Shampoo to much. Maybe I should just stop." Cologne stepped out of the shadows. "I think not, Mousse. This show of affection is surprising. Ive never seen Shampoo so happy. Mousse, you have proven yourself a caring and senstitive man,you have become mature beyond your years.If Shampoo falls for you, I will break Ranma and Shampoos engagement." Mousse was in shock. "Wait! You cant! Theyre bound by Amazon law...its illigal to break them appart." Mousse hung his head as Cologne laughed. "Whats so funny?," Mousse spat out bitterly. "Who do you think was on the Commitee of Lawmakers, hmmmm? I have authority to nullify any law of my chosing! Now, go prepare for tomarrow boy." Cologne left Mousse alone to ponder the thought of he and
Shampoo becoming engaged.

Chapter 3
Shampoo spun around under the cherry tree. Her long pink dress spun upwards and twirled out. Her hair floated and sparkled in the breeze. She stopped as a pair of strong arms caught her in a tight embrace. Shampoo sighed, "Wo ai ni..." She looked up into.....
nothing.
Her eyes adjusted to the harsh morning light. What wonderful dream.. Shampoo thought, and looked beside her pillow. There was a small letter. She picked it up and started to read: "Dearest Shampoo, tomarrow is the first day of spring. We will finally meet in the park, by the water fountain at 12 noon. Love Mr.X". Shampoo smiled and got ready, she knew this last day would drag by.
The morning crawled by. The customers were few and far between, so Shampoo and Mousse got to enjoy talking to each other for most of the time. "Gosh Shampoo, we havent done this since we were young!," Mousse looked up to the ceiling and smiled. Shampoo nodded in agreement, things have been going well between them."Shampoo go get ice tea, Mousse like?," Shampoo went to stand up, but felt a strong hand on her shoulder, "No Shampoo, allow me!" Shampoo blushed and nodded. Wait! why me so shy?! This MOUSSE, not arien! Why Shampoo act funny? Mousse just friend... She haddnt time to finish her thoughts in peace, Mousse entered from the kitchen with ice tea. "Shampoo, I made this early this morning. Its special iced tea, made from Black Dragon tea." Mousse gave her a glass, and Shampoo peered into the black liquid. Mousse had never really made anything before, so Shampoo assumed that he couldnt cook. She took a sip of the cold tea and was surprised to find that it had a lovely sweet taste. "Ai-ya! Mousse make wonderful drink! We add to summer menu now, yes? Mousse
