And Shampoo was now a genie with the light purple hair?!
"Master, Shampoo take you to date! Where would like go? Hawaii? the Moon? Tatooine? Waterdeep? Maybe get some authentic Chinese in Hong Kong?"
Ranma considered the cutely smiling genie again. Yup. Akane was gonna kill him deader than a Sunday steak on Thursday.
"Oh my," said Kasumi from a position in the yard. "Shampoo, can you give me a hand with the furo? There's quite a mess here for some odd reason, but I'm busy and I can't find Nabiki or Akane. With your genie powers it should be easy."
Shampoo waited for Ranma to nod an approval, then brightened. "Shampoo do! Shampoo need practice with water manipulation magic anyway!"
Ranma watched as Shampoo phased through the roof. It was better than making holes everywhere.
Ranma stopped. Kasumi knew that Shampoo was a genie? What the heck?!
The eldest daughter of the Tendo family nodded to herself. She remembered it all well. Shampoo was a genie that Ranma had rescued in China. Mousse felt that it was his genie, he'd seen her first but been unable to get past the cave guardians. Ranma had rubbed the bracelet and been granted three wishes.
Ranma had wanted to try out his new genie's powers and his first wish had been that his old man would be paid back for some of the recent crap. Hence Genma had accidently, and at incredible odds, managed to defeat a Chinese Amazon named Cologne. She'd given Genma the Kiss Of Marriage and Genma now spent a lot of time being locked in some serious depression.
Having seen how well that had worked out, Ranma had told Shampoo to put the two wishes on hiatus until he was confident that she could cure his curse without ending up splatted or something.
Shampoo did try, but her vast magical powers were lacking in control and precision.
