"You're cute when you smile."

	I said that, once. Just once. Didn't mean it
though, just trying to cheer her up. Hey, she looked
really sad, right? I ain't as much of a prick as you
think I am, okay?
	Where was I? Oh yeah. She looked sad, so I said
something to cheer her up. Didn't mean it though. Caught
her trying to smile in the mirror or something later, and
I told her the truth then. Looks kinda goofy.
	So for one act of kindness, one little slip-up, I get
countless stories done about me loving her for her smile.
Get real. I mean, really now, isn't that a bit much? Let's
face it, I ain't gonna fall for just a pretty face-- after
all I got Shampoo after me, eh? Hell, I wanna see a pretty
face all I need is some cold water an' a mirror. So some
girl's smile just ain't gonna do it for me, no matter how
nice it might be (an' trust me when I say Akane's smile's
been greatly over-rated).
	Really now, a smile? Gimme some freakin' credit here...
After all, you seen her wrists? They're to DIE for! Hoh baby!
Now we're talkin'!


Author stuff: I think you might be able to guess why I wrote
this one.... Almost made Ranma a chest man (there was that one
story in the manga with his mom and Akane when he was rather
proud of his newfound... hmmm... proper euphemism.... 
'healthiness') but figured that might be a little too obvious.
	You know, I think writing author's notes must be addictive.
That's the real reason I write, so I can get my fix of ramblings
and stuff (I feel better already ^_^ ).
	Anyway, comment if you like, and don't if you don't. ^_-
