Remember PhoneyNT's "Attractiveness Factor"?  Well, here is my version.  I
know some of you have read it, but this time, lets see you give me some
comments on it. :)


Bile Studio Presents:
The Other Attractiveness Factor
by Jang Choe
Original concept by PhoneyNT
used with permission.

     As I walked into Ranma's and Mr. Saotome's room, it was
messy as usual.  "My goodness,"  I said I as looked at the mess.
"I do wish they keep their rooms orderly."  Oh, allow me to 
introduce myself, I am Tendo Kasumi. As you know,  I'm age
nineteen and I feel that my youth is wasting away.  I know I
have to take care of my dear family, but I do wish to have some
fun.  Unfortunately, I cannot because of the constant discord at
my home.
     I never even kissed a man before, nor have I dated one.
Oh I do wish I have a chance for a handsome prince to sweep me
off of my feet.  However, I rarely go out of the house, and it is
quite difficult for me to find a suitable man at the market. I do
see Dr. Tofu once in a while to borrow his fascinating medical
books, but he never asked me for a date.  It seems as if he likes
me, but I don't know what's holding him back.  Am I doing
something wrong?
     Oh well, I guess I'll start picking the things up from
Ranma's room.  I guess I shall start with his clothes.  I'll put
his dirty ones in my laundry basket and for his clean ones, I
shall fold them up and put them in his dresser.
     As I opened the dresser, I was completely shocked.  All of
Mr. Saotome and Ranma's clothes were just stuffed in there,
unfolded.  Even though I dislike doing other people's work for
them, I dislike messiness even more.  So I'll just take the
clothes out, fold them, and arrange them according to color,
size, and style.  Hmmm, this could be fun.
     As I emptied out the dresser, I found this strange video
tape.  "Seduction of the Goddess"?  I read.  My, what a funny
title.  Well, back to work.
     I finally finished putting the clothes back and cleaning the
room.  I found more videos of that kind in Ranma's room.  It must
be a hobby of his. Anyway, after a hard work, the room looks
wonderful.  Well, time to do the laundry.  I walked to the
laundry room and looked at the pile of clothes.  Hmmm, not enough
to do a full wash, I guess I shall do it tomorrow.
     Well then, I guess that's that.  It will be another hour
till I start dinner, a few hours for my sisters and Ranma to come
back from school,  and Father and Mr. Saotome is out somewhere;
for the first time, I have nothing to do.  Oh well, I guess I'll
watch that tape Ranma had in his room.
     I put the tape in my VCR and started watching.  My, it's a
love story!  How sweet, Ranma is probably watching this in his
spare time to learn to be more romantic towards Akane.
     Oh, how that woman just threw herself to that stranger...
and he's kissing her!  Oh,  hmmm... oh... emm?  I wonder if that's
how you get men to like you in such a way as that?  Do I need to
do that to Dr. Tofu for him to ask me out?  I guess I'll try it,
even though it is slightly awkward for me.  Maybe I should watch
Ranma's other videos for other alternative methods.
     Hmm, this one only has a pretty girl on the screen.  It
seems that she is trying to comfort the watcher.  She seems like
she is really determined to do it.  I wonder if that's how to get
men to like you, to throw yourself at them and do whatever they
say.  I would have to say I'll have to try it.  I do hope I'll do
it right to Tofu.  Maybe I should go visit him now.  
     I walked towards Dr. Tofu's office, trying to remember the
things the women did in those videos.  Ah, finally here.  "Hello? 
Dr. Tofu?"  I called.
     "Ah!  Kasumi!"  Dr. Tofu said.  Why does his glasses keep
fogging up?  I would think he should purchase new pair.  After
all, he is a doctor and I'm sure that he needs to see to treat
his patients.
     "Are you busy?"  I asked him.
     "No, yes... I mean no Kasumi. Haha."  
     What a funny laugh, why does he laugh so funny?  However, it
is cute.  Well, time to do what I learned.  I began to unbutton
my blouse.  "Is it getting hot in here?"  I said as I tried to
remember the line.
     "Yes... maybe.  Wha.. what are you doing Kasumi?"
     I stopped unbuttoning it midway.  "I'll do whatever you want
Doctor."  I said as I tried to "sound" like those women.  Maybe I
should have called him tiger or an other animal like they did in
the videos.
     I sat on the counter and tried to bring my skirt up.  I
should have worn a shorter skirt, it would have been much easier.
     "Uhhh... Kasumi..."  Dr. Tofu said in a particular way.
     Hmm, it doesn't seem to be working.  I guess I'll try this. 
I went up to Dr. Tofu and slid my hand over his chest.  I tried
to talk like I was out of breath, but it was pretty difficult to
do.  Those women must be really excellent actresses.  "Oh I do
wish I had your body Doctor."  
     "Wahh???  Oh... I'm getting dizzy." Tofu said; it didn't
seem to be working.
     I tried another method that the actresses used.  I pushed
him to the table and held him there.  I... I forgot what I was
suppose to do after that!  I wished I had watched more of it. 
The only hope I had was to improvise.  Out of a response, I
kissed his chin.  All of a sudden, poor Dr. Tofu fainted.  I
would assume that wasn't the correct way to do it.  I am so sorry
Doctor.  I guess I'll watch those tapes more and continue to do
this till I do it right.
