I Promise Chapter 1 On a Faithful Saturday Author's note: Rumiko Takahashi OWNS Ranma ½. I'm Sailor Ranma! HAHAHAHA! Where that come from? Translations: Arigatou: Thank you Nihao: Hello (Chinese) (You SHOULD know what this means by now.) Chicasuwa: Damn Kawaii: Cute/Cool… your choice. (I use it in both ways but mostly, CUTE!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ranma, Ryoga, and Mousse we're in Ucchan's waiting for Akane, Shampoo, and Ukyo to finish the day at the restaurant. "Oh gee, what's taken them so long?" Ranma looked at the clock. Ryoga started a card game with Mousse. "I got two pairs," Mousse looked at Ryoga with a smirk. "HAHA! Three of a kind!" Ryoga slammed his cards down. Mousse looked at them. He reached in his pocket and handed Ryoga 1000 yens. Ranma just stared at them. "Guys this isn't a time to start betting," Ryoga and Mousse looked at him. "Oh! Did you wanna play?" Ryoga said. "Sure," Ryoga shuffled the deck and passed out five cards to him, Mousse, and Ranma. They each stared at there cards for awhile. Mousse took out two cards and drawn it. Ranma put in 1000 yens on the table. So did Ryoga and Mousse. Ryoga put down his cards. "Gentlemen, allow me to introduce my lovely full house," Ranma looked at Mousse. "Four of a kind," Mousse put down his cards. "Junk," Ranma put his cards down. "Arigatou!" Ryoga put 3000 yens in his pocket. Akane and Shampoo came in. "Hi!" Akane sat down. "Nihao!" Shampoo did the same. Mousse looked at Ryoga. Ryoga was putting away the deck of cards. "Shouldn't Ucchan's be closing by now?" Mousse said. Ryoga put the deck of cards in his pocket then looked at Mousse. "Yeah, your right. I'll go check out what's happening," Ryoga stood up and walked behind the counter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ukyo?" Ryoga looked at the back of the restaurant. He walked past some crates and such. "Ukyo?" He called again. "Well at least I think Ukyo's here...or" He heard a noise from behind a crate. "Ukyo? Ukyo is that you?" He turned his head to the crate and gasped. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Shampoo dare violent girl to kiss Mousse," Shampoo smirked. "Easy," Akane kissed Mousse on the lips. Ranma looked in disgust. *She rather kiss Mousse over me? Ego lowering, lowering, lowering.* Ranma held his chest with pain. He stood up. "Where Ranma going?" Shampoo asked. "I'm gonna look for Ukyo and Ryoga. I doubt that Ryoga found her. He probably got lost again," He went to the back of the restaurant. "Hi," the remaining heard Nabiki and Kuno. They sat down. "Akane Tendo!" Kuno ran to her but got held back by Nabiki. "Kuno-baby, behave yourself," Nabiki let go of Kuno's collar. They both sat down. "We're playing truth or dare," Akane said. She looked at her sister. "Nabiki," Nabiki looked back at her. "Give me your best dare" "Nabiki, I dare you to call Kuno something but not Kuno-chan, or Kuno-baby," Nabiki looked at Kuno. "For shame. Nabiki Tendo would never call me other then does two vile names," Kuno looked at his bokken. "Ta-Ta... can't say... it. Against... m-my... religion," Nabiki looked at Akane. Then at Kuno. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Oh I didn't mean to scare you!" Ukyo was behind the crate looking at Ryoga. Ranma was laughing while Ryoga was lying on his back with his head up. "Well..." He stood up. Ukyo leaped over the medium sized crate. "Well at least Ryoga (laugh) didn't get lost," Ranma said. The three went back to the front. "What were you doin," Ryoga asked Ukyo. "Business," She said. "Oh? What kind?" Ryoga asked. "Stuff," Ukyo said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Nooo... can't," Nabiki struggled. Ranma, Ryoga, and Ukyo sat down. "What is happening?" Ranma asked. "They came after you left, Akane dared Nabiki to call Kuno something other then Kuno-chan and Kuno-baby, and she's been like that forever," Mousse informed. "Repeat after me Nabiki Tendo. Tatewaki. Tate-waki," Kuno said. Nabiki calmed down. "All right Tachi, if that's what you want it," Nabiki gave an innocent smile. "NNOOOO!" Kuno said in defeat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everyone was at the Dojo playing truth or dare. "Truth of dare Ryoga, truth or dare," Ranma asked. "Dare," Ryoga said. "All right, come with me," Ranma said. Ryoga stood up. Ranma took Ryoga's bandanna and blindfolded him. "Hey! What was that for?" Ryoga asked. "It's part of the dare. C'mon, let's go," Ranma dragged Ryoga all the way to the Koi pond. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "All right, this is what you gotta do," Ranma said. "What? Can I take off the bandanna now?" Ryoga asked impatiently. "Nope. Now I'll go back to the Dojo and whistle. Once you here that, you can put that bandanna back on your head and try to find your way back to the Dojo, got it?" "Okay," Ryoga nodded. "Okay. I'm going back," Ranma went back to the Dojo. Everyone was staring at him. "That sorcery had done something too tragic," Kuno said to himself. Nabiki looked at him. Ranma whistled. He sat down on the Dojo floor and smiled. "What did you do?" Akane whispered. "Something," Ranma tried to hide the laugh within him. Twenty minutes passed by and Ryoga still didn't came back. Akane glared at Ranma. "You made Ryoga get lost! Didn't you?" "Well..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elsewhere, Ryoga stood in front of a sign in English saying 'NASA'. "Chicasuwa, WHERE THE HELL AM I NOW?!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ranma, INFADELL!" Akane looked at Ranma "Hey, it seemed fun..." "How dare you make poor Ryoga lost!" "It's just twenty minutes!" "He's lost!" "No he's not!" "How would you know?!" "Why would you care?!" At that point Akane looked down. Shampoo looked at the expression Ranma had on his face. "Akane," Ranma wanted to apologies. "Ranma! How dare you!" Ranma heard Ryoga. He turned his head to the voice and saw Ryoga standing beside the door. "Well..." Ranma said. Shampoo stood up. "I go!" She looked at everyone looking for the next victim. Her eyes laid upon him. "Kuno," "Dare," "Shampoo dare you to say sentence with no Shakespeare!" "What?" "You heard Shampoo," "In your dreams!" "Congrats! You did it!" "Curses," Kuno cried out. "I'll go next," Ryoga looked around. "Umm... Mousse! No... to easy... Shampoo!" "Take one lucky guess Ryoga!" "I'll take that as a dare. I dare you to kiss Mousse," "Damn you!" "Do it," Shampoo gave Mousse a kiss. Shampoo looked into his eyes… in this case glasses. She lifted his glasses and they started kissing, and kissing, and kissing, and… well you get the idea. Everyone just stared. "Shampoo… that's enough… Shampoo? SHAMPOO!" Ranma yelled. Ryoga put a hand on his shoulder. "Get on with it. It is obvious that she dumped you for Mousse. Pity," Ranma looked at him. "Ryoga…" He stared at him. Ryoga smirked a bit. "Shampoo, please, STOP IT!" Akane said. "Oh Mousse, Wo Ai Ni!" Ryoga impersonated Shampoo. "Oh Shampoo," Ranma impersonated Mousse. They both broke down in laughter. "Let's continue," Nabiki suggested. She looked around. "Akane! It's pay back time," "Dare," She gave an evil eye. "Akane Tendo, sister, kiss Ranma," Nabiki smirked. "What's with this kissing stuff?" Akane asked. "Don't talk back girl, you gotta do this or something worse like kissing Happosai," Nabiki looked at her sister with a smile. Akane glared at her. "Nabiki, you bastered…" Akane looked at Ranma who had know idea why Ryoga and Kuno were staring at him, or Ukyo staring at Akane, or why Kasumi is spying on them… KASUMI??? Oh well… he didn't even know what the dare was! "What?" Akane crawled over to him. Her lips met his. They blushed. They kissed, and kissed, and kissed, and… well, you know. "Wonderful! Another kissing couple," Ukyo glared at Nabiki. "Some enthusiastic," Nabiki looked at her. "We're not gonna sit here and see two couples kissing!" Ryoga said. "Oh well," Ukyo leaped on Ryoga and they started kissing. The only survivors were Kuno and Nabiki. "Oh the tragedy! What vile to..." Kuno looked at Nabiki. "Tatchi... jealous of Ranma?" Nabiki smile. "No..." The two look around seeing everybody kissing. Nabiki had an evil smile. "Be back!" Nabiki ran to the house and got her camera. She came back and took pictures of the three couples and then a group picture. "Perfect," She put the camera in her huge pocket. "Such evil things you do Nabiki Tendo, such evil things you do," Kuno stared at her. "Hey, takes one to know one Tatchi," "WHAT?!" "Who said I was talking about you?" "You make me sick!" "I'm so disappointed. Say cheese!" Nabiki took a picture of Kuno. Kuno stared at her some more. "I dispise you," "I'm so glad," "Don't mock me!" "Who says I was mocking you?" "Shut up!" "Oh getting personal huh Tachi?," "Don't call me of such vile name!" "Oh really, Tachi?" "ARGH!" They both looked into each other's eyes and had an evil smile. They both looked at the kissing couples. "They aren't even noticing!" Nabiki said. She and Kuno started kissing. Not long did they heard a familiar voice. "I love you Kasumi," "Oh Ono, I love you too," then they heard giggles. Everyone except Ranma and Akane stopped kissing. "Ono? Who's Ono?" Mousse asked Shampoo. "Shampoo no know... Ryoga you know?" "Not a clue... Ukyo?" "Beats me... Kuno?" "I not a clue, how about you Nabiki Tendo," "Nope," "Who the hell is Ono?" Ryoga asked. That's when Ranma and Akane stopped kissing. "Ono? Why are you talking about Dr. Tofu?" Akane stood up. Everyone was looking at one another and Ranma scratched his head. All of them looked out the door. They stared in shock as they saw Kasumi and Dr. Tofu kissing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I hope your sister didn't mind about what we saw," Ranma coughed. Ranma and Akane were walking to school talking about the incident. "Not only that, she saw US too… so she wouldn't be talking," Akane shifted her bookbag to the other side while Ranma walked besides her at the fence. They stopped in their tracks to look at Shampoo and Mousse who were walking towards them. "Nihao," Shampoo greeted. "Hi," Mousse greeted as well. "Hi you two," Akane greeted and over to Shampoo to talk. Ranma went to Mousse. "Wussup," Ranma greeted. "Nothin' much… how's things goin with Akane?" Mousse nudged Ranma and they started talking. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ryoga and Ukyo were walking and talking with each other. "So Ukyo, uh…" Ryoga stopped in his tracks. Ukyo walked a few paces before noticing and turned around. "So what's the matter with you sugar?" Ukyo said with a smile that made the inside of Ryoga melt. "Umm… I was just wondering if we, um… could, well… what I'm trying to say is…" Ryoga stuttered. Ukyo smiled even more kawaii and rose an eyebrow. She walked up to Ryoga. "Do something together? Was that it?" Ryoga nodded. "Sure, Saturday night at my place, find it by 7:00 p.m.," she winked. Ryoga felt like he was going to die of joy. His brain exploded of pleasure and his heart pumped faster than usual. "Uk-Ukyo…" Ryoga looked into her eyes as Ukyo did the same. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Oh boy… what am I gonna do?" Mousse asked Ranma. The four continued walking to their destination. Ranma and Akane going to school and Shampoo and Mousse going to Neko Hantan. They all stopped in their tracks when Ryoga and Ukyo came into view. The four stared at the couple who are still looking at the eyes. "Why are they staring at each other?" Ranma asked. "Yeah, they look like they are gonna kiss, again," Mousse pulled down his glasses to observe the situation. "Yeah? Well I think it is romantic," Akane sighed. "Hiya. For once, Shampoo agree with violent girl," Shampoo agreed. Just then, Ukyo and Ryoga's face got closer and closer until… "Awww," Akane, Ranma, Shampoo, and Mousse awed when watching them kiss. Ryoga and Ukyo opened their eyes and jumped away from each other and stared at the four spies. "Umm… Ukyo, shouldn't we be going to school?" Ranma asked. Ukyo nodded. She walked up to them with Ryoga behind her. Then they all started talking about school and journeys and stuff like that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Kuno-baby what am I gonna do with you," Nabiki observed the laying figure from the classroom as the morning assault made its usual. "Hey Kuno-baby! This time it had more people!" Nabiki yelled. "Silence wrech!" Kuno stood up. "Say, did you enjoy that spatula being crash to your face? And those bomboris on your head? And that bamboo umbrella sweep you out?!" "Nabiki Tendo..." "And an explosive duck and the regular two kicks?" "Silence!" "Fine, we'll discuss this after class," Nabiki walked away from the window. "Nabiki Tendo! Oh how evil you are!" Kuno walked into the school. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Romance! Romance! I had always loved romance! For I have a date with Ukyo Kuonji!" Ryoga sang out as he started walking. "Hey wait a second," He went up to a lady. "Excuse me, can you please tell me what day it is today?" "It's Friday," "Oh okay. Thank you," Ryoga ran to the nearest alley and started poking holes on the wall. "Let see… if I take this route…" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Shampoo, would uh…" Mousse started talking to the what he calls his beautiful waitress (Hey, ya never know what he calls her! ^_^) "AllrightShampooconfess!YouwantdateSaturdaynight?" Shampoo said very quickly. Mousse stared at her. "Wha?" Mousse pulled up his glasses. "Uh… Shampoo say something?" Shampoo putted a crooked smile and served a customer with some ramen and walked to the kitchen. "Shampoo, I'll love to go with you," Shampoo turned around to Mousse who is now wearing his glasses. "You mean it?" Shampoo dropped the metal tray and everyone in the restaurant heard a loud bang. Mousse nodded. "Hiya!" Shampoo smile. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You know Ku… er, Tachi, I do have some stuff to discuss with you," Nabiki was walking with Kuno back home from school. "Of what?" "Well, you know… maybe a date or something? It won't be EXACALLY like a date… just a cup of coffee and some more photos of Akane and the pig-tailed girl of yours," "You do?!" Kuno looked at Nabiki. "Uh-huh… that is if your free in Saturday night," "What!? And away from my Kendo special training?" Kuno was shocked. "Okay, I can see that you don't wanna see does picture. I understand. Ho-hum." Kuno stayed in his tracks as Nabiki continued walking with a smirk on his face. *Three… two… one… zero!* "7:00?" Nabiki turned around with a smile. "Kuno-baby! I thought you never ask!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Akane!" Akane stopped and turned around to wait for Ranma to catch up. "Ranma, what were you doing? I thought you were behind me," "Sorry but I saw Ryoga in the alley basically destroying a wall. He says he was trying to find Ucchan's" "Really?" "Yep," "Why?" "Who knows," "Say, Ranma…" "Yeah?" Ranma looked at Akane. "I was thinking… do you want to see a movie?" "I was about to ask you the same thing," "Saturday night? There is a good one that starts at seven," "Yeah, that'll be cool," They both then raced each other home. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "… So then if I take this route, I can get to Ucchan's by 6:00," Ryoga looked at the half destroyed wall. "Umm… this is hopeless," Ryoga started walking out of the alley with a depressing sigh. He started walking until he got to a fork on a road. "Oh great… now which way?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was Saturday morning and there was no school on that day. Ukyo had thought that maybe, she and Ryoga can go on a little walk, talk for awhile, and stuff like that until 7:00 so then he won't get lost. She was brushing her hair and looked at herself in the mirror while humming a song. "Ukyo, you look very pretty," Ukyo turned around and saw her date leaning on her bedroom door frame. "Ryoga? What are you doin here?" "I kinda got lost and got to your house by accident," ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "These will do," Nabiki looked at the pictures she took of Akane and Ranma (As a girl) in their sleep. There was a scream through out the house. "I didn't do it!" Nabiki heard Ranma scream out from the kitchen. Nabiki rolled her eyes. *I wonder what this is about* She ran to the kitchen where she saw Ranma banging his head on the wall and Kasumi looking at him. "Hey Kasumi, what's the problem?" "Uh... Ranma sorta got into a little... accident," "Oh? In what way?" "He's a bed wetter," Akane came in and got an apple. "Shut-up," Ranma mumbled. Nabiki knew it was all her doing. *Let's see... last night, I took pictures of him in which I used hot and cold water in which it got to the bed. This always happens.* She laughed to herself. "Ranma, how many times have you wetted the bed?" Akane asked munching on her food. "I *bonk* told you! *bonk* I didn't *bonk* do it! *BONK!*" That last bonk made a hole in the wall. Everyone looked at the wall as Ranma looked at the floor. "Oh my," Kasumi said. Nabiki was still laughing as Akane took another bite to finish her apple. She then disposed it and started walking away. "I'm outta here. There is much more to do instead of listening to Ranma denying the whole point that he did wetted the bed," Akane left. Ranma ran off to his room. Nabiki walked away. "Oh well, gotta go. It's already noon and I got some selling to do, see ya," Nabiki ran out the door and looked to see which picture she should sell. "Let's see… maybe the one with Shampoo and Mousse kissing is pretty interesting, but Ranma and Akane? I think this picture would be rare to see them do but I think it's a classic. Ukyo and Ryoga… Oh my God is that a tongue here? Oh well… I'll sell the Kuno picture first," Nabiki strolled away with a smile. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Honestly… how come I have a bed wetter as a fiancee? It won't be that interesting in the bed,* Akane was walking to a store to buy some new clothes for herself. "Akane!" She turned around and saw Ranma running to her. "What is it?" She asked with anger. "Are you mad at me because of… well you know," Ranma asked. "No, I needed to do something. Sorry I was kinda mad, we still on for the movies?" Akane looked at Ranma. Ranma nodded. "Settled… how 'bout we go get some ice-cream and then maybe a walk and talk and something to occupy us until the 7:00 movie?" Ranma asked. Akane nodded. "All right… what flavor do you want?" Ranma put an arm around Akane as Akane laid her head on his side. "How about a banana split?" "Fair enough… and maybe two sodas?" "A soda," Akane corrected him. "Two straws?" "Love it," "All right," They continued walking to the ice cream parlor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Okay, where do you wanna go?" Ryoga asked Ukyo while they were having a walk in the park. "I don't know… how 'bout some ice-cream… we can get some vanilla ice-cream…" "With sprinkles…" "And chocolate fudge…" "Chocolate chips…" "Whip cream…" "And the cherry on top," Ryoga said as Ukyo crept her hand to his hand. Pretty soon, they were holding hands. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hiya!" Shampoo so happy," Shampoo and Mousse were walking out of Neko Hauten. "Hey Shampoo, how 'bout some ice-cream," Mousse asked as they were hugging each other and walking. *Hiya! Shampoo very lucky to be with Mousse. Skrew Ranma!* Shampoo hugged Mousse tighter. It took Mousse awhile to notice that he lost circulation to his body. "Uh... Shampoo... Can you loosen up a bit?" Shampoo did so. "Sorry, Shampoo too happy!" "Oh well, where should we go at seven?" "Shampoo no know," "How 'bout we go see a movie?" "Shampoo love that," ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Okay Kuno-baby, here's the deal. At seven we will see a movie and maybe THEN you can buy the pictures," Nabiki said as she licked her strawberry ice-cream. "After?! VILE NABIKI TENDO! How dare you play games with the great Tatewaki Kuno! Otherwise known as THE BLUE THUNDER OF FURIKAN HIGH!! ::thunder::" Kuno rose his bokken up with pride as everyone in the parlor were wondering where the thunder came from. Nabiki set the pictures down. "All right Kuno- baby... here are the pictures," She set them down on the table as Kuno observed them. "Lovely... astonishing... what's this?" He came upon a picture with Ryoga and Ukyo kissing. "Whoops! Sorry," she snatched it away from Kuno. Kuno continued what he was doing. Once he saw them all, Nabiki took them away. "Buy them after the movie," "Hey guys, wussup?" Nabiki and Kuno turned there attention to Ranma and Akane, who were coming in the parlor. "Hi guys!" Nabiki greeted. "Salutation Akane Tendo," Kuno greeted. Nabiki looked at him. "And what about Ranma?" "Hello Ranma," Kuno muttered. Nabiki patted his head. "Good boy," "I hate you," Kuno looked into her eyes. *Oh Nabiki Tendo, how much I love you!* "I so glad," Nabiki looked at his bokken. *I'm so disappointed* "Umm... we are going to order, k?" Akane said as she and Ranma started walking to the counter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Is your sister feeling okay?" Ranma asked. "No. She never acts like that," Akane grabbed his arm. "Hello, how my I help you?" said a teenage girl behind the counter. "Yeah, I'll like two banana splits with extra fudge and a soda," Ranma ordered as the girl started typing prices on the cash register. "Will you want fries with that?" "Fries??" Ranma and Akane gave her a weird look. "Sorry, my first day on the job," "Hey wait, I think I remember you. You use to work at McDonalds, didn't ya?" Ranma asked. "Yeah," "Figures. Okay, for one, this is an ice-cream parlor, and two, you do not serve fries here!" "Okay, that'll be 500 yens please," Ranma paid and the girl went to get the order. Ranma turned back to Akane. "Do you have any idea what is wrong with Nabiki?" "Nope," The girl came back with the order. "Thanks," Akane said as she and Ranma got the banana split and soda. They set it down on a table and they sat down. They looked at Nabiki and Kuno who are now staring at each other. "Look at them, they look like Ryoga and Ukyo that one day," Akane pointed out. "Hey Akane, I got a plan," Ranma stood up and took out a 1000 yens out of his pocket and went over to Nabiki. He placed the 1000 yen bill right in front of her face, but Nabiki kept staring at Kuno and Kuno staring at Nabiki. Ranma was waving the bill. "Nabiki, here is a free 1000 yen bill. Hello?" Ranma kept waving it in front of her. *All right, plan B.* "Nabiki, I am your life, your destiny, the one you love, I am MONEY!" Nabiki didn't seem to pay attention to him. Ranma put the bill in his pocket and walked to Akane. "Did you really think that was gonna work?" "My guess she is more obsessed with 'Kuno-baby' than money. Don't you just love love?" Ranma took his spoon and started eating his split. "Hey Ranma! Akane!" Ranma and Akane both turned around and saw Ryoga and Ukyo coming up to them. "Ryoga!" Ranma greeted. "Sup Ranma? What a coincidence to see ya here," "So Akane, how you and Ranma doin'? Ukyo asked. "Good," "We are gonna go and order, all right?" Ryoga informed them. "Be careful... this is the cashier's first day and she will ask if you want fries," Ranma informed them. Ryoga and Ukyo looked at each other. Then they went to the counter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "All right, two vanilla ice-cream with sprinkles, chocolate fudge, chocolate chips, whip cream, and a cherry on top," Ryoga was ordering his and Ukyo's ice-cream. "500 yens please," Ryoga paid. "Okay, I'll be right back..." the girl went over to get the ice- cream. Ryoga turned to Ukyo. "She didn't ask if we want fries," "I know, are Ranma and Akane feeling all right?" "Who knows... maybe she did that when the they were up here," "Yeah I guess your right," "Here's your order sir," the girl came back. Ryoga turned around and was about to take them when he stared at the 'ice-cream' and so was Ukyo. "Umm... we asked for an ice-cream with sprinkles, chocolate fudge, chocolate chips, whip cream, and a cherry on top," "Yeah I know," "Then how come there is no ice-cream? There are fries!" "Sorry," she went and actually got the ice-cream and stuff and gave it to the couple. They then went to the table behind Ranma and Akane's and they started licking their ice-cream. "What is with her problem with fries?" Ukyo asked Ranma. "She use to work at McDonalds," "Really?" Ryoga said. Akane and Ranma nodded. Ryoga turned back to face Ukyo. "Who would of thought?" Ryoga continued licking his ice-cream. He then licked a little bit to fast that he got some ice-cream on his nose. "Ryoga, you got ice-cream on your nose," "Really?" Ryoga leaned over and was about to get a napkin that was right next to Ukyo. He set his hand on it but Ukyo laid her hand on his hand. Ryoga looked at Ukyo with big eyes. Ukyo leaned forward to be face to face with him. "I got a better idea to get it of your nose," Ukyo leaned over and sucked the ice-cream from his nose. When she was finished, they were now looking at each other with their foreheads touching each other. "Ukyo," Ryoga whispered. "Yeah?" Ukyo whispered back. "I enjoyed what you did," "You did?" "Yeah I wanna pay ya back," "With what?" "With this," Ryoga kissed Ukyo. They had a short one and they were still touching their foreheads. Ukyo looked at Ryoga with a smile. They then started to kiss again but this time, their faces never went separate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hey Ranma, did you know that, their ice-cream's are melting?" Akane asked as she watched Ryoga and Ukyo kissing. Ranma looked at Kuno and Nabiki. "Well, they're not the only one," Ranma pointed to Kuno and Nabiki as they two were kissing for a long time. Akane looked at them, then looked at the soda. "Hey, we never dranked our soda," Akane and Ranma both put their straws in it and started drinking the soda. They looked deeply into their eyes. "Ranma?" Akane said. "What is it?" Ranma asked. "Well..." she set a hand on the table and looked at the counter. "Isn't that Mousse and Shampoo?" Ranma looked. "Oh, I hope they know what they're doin..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Two strawberry ice-creams," Mousse ordered. "That'll be 500 yens," said the girl. Mousse paid and the girl went to get their order. "Mousse?" Mousse turned around to Shampoo. "What is it?" "Have you heard of contacts?" "Contacts? Well..." "Then we go to mall, yes?" "I guess so," Mousse turned back to the counter and the girl came back. "Here ya go," Mousse looked at them. "Ah... these are fries," ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hey yo Mousse, problems with the fries?" Ranma asked as Shampoo and Mousse sat down at the table in front of Ranma and Akane. "That girl too crazy," Shampoo said as she licked her ice-cream. She looked at the couple behind Ranma and Akane. So did Mousse. "Hey, is that Ryoga and Ukyo?" Ranma and Akane nodded. "How long they kiss?" Shampoo asked. "Let me tell you this, they been like that... BEFORE YOU CAME!" Ranma said as Mousse and Shampoo looked at each other. Then at the kissing couple. Ands last to Ranma and Akane. "We go for walk, yes?" Shampoo said as she grabbed Mousse's hand and licking her ice-cream. Mousse nodded. They started to walk, waving to Akane and Ranma. "See ya," Ranma waved back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Tachi… don't you think that this is a little it too nice of you?" Nabiki said as she was walking with Kuno around the block. "Not at all Nabiki Tendo… for you are the one that I…" Kuno stuttered to say some simple words that he would say to his now ex-crush… but not to his true love. Nabiki looked at him as she grabbed his arm. "Go on…" She said with a smile. Kuno looked at her. He could fell his heart thumping. *That vile Nabiki Tendo… she had known all along! Just waiting for I, the blue thunder of Furikan high, ::thunder in his mind:: to say the words!* "Will…" Kuno stuttered. "Go on…" Nabiki's smile grew even larger. *C'mon Tatewaki… say it! I'll say yes! Yes! Yes!* "Will… you…" Kuno started. Nabiki started twitching. "That's it! Kuno-baby! Tachi! I shall allow you to date with me!" Nabik
