... take Nabiki's advice, transforming him accordingly.

(Originally written by Guyman on Writing.com)

She may be a money-grubbing miser, but Nabiki did have a scarily accurate knowledge of how people worked. Acting like some witless tart would probably get more guys to sign up, and it probably wouldn't be so damaging to his ego. Just gotta slip into the role, and who knows? Maybe Nabiki would condescendingly pat him on the head and let him go with only 150 rubes signed on.

Ranma took a moment to shake out the nerves — making sure to not let anything in his suit slip out — before greeting one of the first guys with a loud "YOO-HOO~!"

Bounding over to the sod, his attention firmly grasped, he made sure to add a little bounce to his step, watching the stranger's eyes going up and down. "Hey, mister, d'ya wanna go to our dojo? I promise that you'll love it!" Watching the man wordlessly nod and reach out for a flyer, he purposely fumbled the paper with an 'Oopsie!' and bent over in front of the man, giving him a good view of the pale white globes down the corset. As Ranma grasped the paper, he felt a warm glow in between his breasts. Suddenly, his nails gained a pink coating to his surprise. Did I always have my nails painted as a girl? I don't think soI guess Nabiki put some on when I wasn't looking! Holding the slightly dirty flyer out to the guy, it was accepted with a dazed 'Thanks' and a doofy smile. Ranma giggled in spite of himself at the guy's reaction, quickly thinking; He's so silly Just a small laugh at a job well done, because I AM NOT A GIRL.

Ranma continued his act for a few more hours, trying out variants and techniques to lure more cute boysunsuspecting jerks in. Sometimes he pulled the flyer from in between his boobiesbreasts and gave it to the schmuck, other times he bent over to pick up the flyers he had dropped behind him at the hip, wiggling his ample butt in front of a gaping crowd, and countless other faux-flirty techniques.

One he was particularly proud of was completely ad-libbed. He had accidentally crashed into a guy while lost in thought (A feeling that would become more familiar to Ranma over the following days). Ranma had a sudden idea mid-fall and shifted his weight to fall directly on the man. They landed exactly as he planned, where Ranma 'accidentally' had his boobs practically squashed against the guy. Then, when they both got up, he apologized with a "I'm, like, soooooo sorry, mister!" and offered him a flyer. But what Ranma did was a true testament to his adaptability, if he did say so himself. Before he gave the man the flyer, he laid a juicy kiss on the flyer, leaving a bright pink lip print. Doubt barely even crossed his mind before he thought "Wow, Nabiki is totally a superduper makeup ninja! Ohmigawd I should ask her for advice" He shook his head to clear it on the tail end of that thought, he'd been having some weird feelings lately.

"That guy I crashed into looked familiar though, I didn't really catch his face though, cuz of all the blood coming from his nose. What a disgusting pervertOh no! I musta hurt him when we fell, I need to, like, go help him!_ But before he could take action, he felt a hand on his shoulder.

It was Nabiki, with a sleazy grin on her face. "Well, well, well. You're a natural at this, Ranma. I guess I don't even have to take your little charm there, because you did an excellent job!" To her mild surprise, instead of giving some sort of snippy retort, Ranma just grinned and bonked his fist against his head, not betraying a single kernel of anger.

"Thanks, Nabi, this was a lotta fun! I'm gonna go back now, cuz I'm mega-tired! Byeeee~! Ranma gushed, before running off in one of the girliest ways Nabiki had seen, drawing the eyes of guys for streets to come.

Nabiki first thought, 'Ranma's acting weird. But what was really strange was when I felt his shoulder it's like it had no muscle-tone in it, which is exceedingly odd for a training freak like him.' Shortly thereafter she dismissed it with a shrug. Even someone like moi can make mistakes, and this is probably some sort of scheme to get out of this, which means more blackmail pictures for me if he welches!.

It was odd that he didn't even ask about the hot water though...
