+ Ranma, no. What's gotten into you anyway?
- Look, Akane, it's settled. We're going to.
+ I said no! P-chan's my pet! I can't just put him in that cage!
- You didn't even care, before. Why does it matter so much to you now?
+ You *know* why, Ranma.
- No, I don't think I do. You tell me.
+ I...well, why do you care anyway? I thought you didn't even *like* P-chan! Don't be such a bully!
- Shut up! God! You make it out like it's such a big thing!
+ Why shouldn't I?
- Because it's nothin'! Look...you remember why I got the cage, don't you?
+ Yeah, I know why you got the cage, Ranma.
- Tell me. I want you to tell me why I got the cage.
+ So you could put Shampoo in it.
- Right! And you know how much I hate cats. Deathly scared of them. You know that. So why is it such a big thing to put P-chan in the cage?
+ Ranma! It wasn't *my* idea to put Shampoo in the cage and make her watch! It was yours...so don't make it out like I owe you something.
- Don't tell me you didn't get off on it, though.
+ No! It was too weird!
- That's not what you were screaming, at the time.
+ Ok! So I admit! So I liked it. So what?
- So let me do the same with P-chan. Just once.
+ No!
- Damn it, Akane! He's just your pet pig! I mean, he's nothing more. He's not going to even know what's happening. It's no big deal!
+ Then why do you care whether he's watching or not?
- I just do, Akane. I can't explain. I just do.

Hmmm...This was going to be longer, and make Ranma cruder and "The Thief" like, but I liked it too much in this abbreviated form. I might do a longer version if I get the time. If you enjoyed the short I'd appreciate a reply. Thanks for reading,
