19 [Accidental Video]

[The video cuts on in the middle of Rachel brushing out her hair, watching herself in her mirror. There's a large macaw in the corner, which is the only sign of the event being in her room.

She doesn't seem focused on the PCD -- or the parrot -- but instead on her image in the mirror. Rachel sighs -- the humidity is causing her hair to be curlier and poofier than it normally is and the amount of moisture certainly isn't doing anything for her skin. A tug or two through and the brush makes it through her hair, but the girl looks less than satisfied.

Until Rachel cocks her head to the left and curls her fingers around the handle of her brush and begins to sing to herself, softly, at first, but the more she sings, the louder and more passionate it becomes:]


My mama told me when I was young, we're all born superstars. She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on, in the glass of her boudoir --

[A neat spin and Rachel is full out singing into her mirror -- and seems to be doing a dance, along with her song -- and it appears perfectly choreographed.]

There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are, she said, 'cause he made you perfect, babe, -- so hold your head up, girl, and you'll go far -- listen to me when I say -- !

[The brush is long since forgotten on the dresser, by this point, as she continues her dance.]

I'm beautiful in my way, 'cause God makes no mistakes, I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way -- don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself and you're set, I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way --

[The PCD times out soon after -- the network has apparently had enough diva for the time being.]

I guess. It's real girly, but real useful.

I meant ballet in particular.

[He isn't saying or admitting that he knows a lot of other dance styles... including ballroom. He thinks they're girly. It was not helped by his instructors.]

The tutus and some of the body movements I see on the guys....

[Ranma twitches. What he doesn't mention was all of the attention he received from both sexes when he attended the competition. Before he got his curse.]

You sure about that? Prove it.

That guy? Well... he doesn't really strike me as the 'manly' type.

The 'manly type' is a rough and tough guy who doesn't take any shit from anyone but adheres to his own strict code of honor.

[This is Ranma's personal definition of it. His parents' definitions are quite... different.]

Is he able to hold his own in a fight? Or have a sense of honor?
