heya~ if you're confused read AN at the end ^^
Summary: Akane and Ranma are bestfriends. Akane is a tomboy as Ranma calls her. Will the makeover that Ukyo and Shampoo planned for her change everything for the better or worse? Especially when it leads to a lie about their relationship.
I feel like the old summary's better. Anyway. Re-written!
No curse no crazy events nothing. Just a usual story with usual things ^^
It was a normal afternoon for four teens, playing basketball as a habit on the weekends. Specifically, three guys and one girl.
Akane was once again, playing with her friends, Ranma, Ryoga and Mousse.
Being 'one of the boys', she is known in their school as a tomboy because of her boyish choice of outfit which is a lose shirt and pants, her short hair doesn't help either.
Her friends are popular at school. Maybe it's because they're on the basketball team. At least the guys are. Of course she also have some girl friends. Namely, Ukyo and Shampoo.
Shampoo and Mousse came from China with Shampoo's grandmother. They already were a couple by then, but that didn't stopped other guys from drooling over Shampoo. After a few months they started the Cat Cafe. Thankfully it got recognized and they stayed in Japan.
Ukyo's family owned the famous Okonomiyaki Shop. She is also a childhood friend of Ranma and Akane. Sadly, her parents passed away and she had to take responsibility at an early age. Until Ryoga came by their shop asking for directions. Later on they learned that he's got some direction problems so he ended up staying at Ukyo's. And as they expected, they became a couple after a few months.
"Oh man, why do you always win when Akane's on your side" Ryoga complained as he made his way on a nearby bench where they put down their things earlier before they started to play. He sat down and got his bottle of water.
"Maybe it's because Akane's manlier than your partner" Ranma said as he sat down beside Ryoga.
Ryoga and Ranma laughed as they looked at Mousse walking towards them with Akane.
"Hey I heard that! Just because my hair is longer than most girls, doesn't mean I'm soft like them!" The long haired man defended himself almost shouting, making them laugh louder.
"I also heard that! Don't compare me to the blind guy here" the short haired girl shouted as she threw the ball on the two guys sitting down. She laughed when the ball hit Ranma's head.
"That hurts you tomboy!" the pig-tailed guy stands up as he prepares to chase her. Of course Akane knew this and she started to run away.
"I swear if Akane looks more like a girl, people would think that they're a couple" Mousse said as he sat down beside Ryoga as he nodded. The two watched them as Ranma and Akane chased each other until it's time to say their goodbyes.
It's Monday again. Akane lazily woke up and did her daily routine before going to school. She said her goodbyes to her sisters and father before leaving. She opens their gate and smiled as she saw her bestfriend waiting outside like always.
"Morning 'Kane!" he greets her with his usual cheerful smile
"Goodmorning Ranma" she greets him back as they started to walk
They always walk together. She's curious why because he could just leave without her since he could just walk straight to school without passing by her house. Instead he would wait for her outside and walk with her on the way to school. She never bothered to ask him though.
They walked with a comfortable silence until they reached the school gate. As their friends came to view, they ran up to them and said their greetings to each other until the bell rings.
It's break time and the group of friends sat on their usual table.
Ukyo sat beside Ryoga on his other side is Mousse who is sitting down beside Shampoo. Beside her is Akane who is sitting next to Ranma (if you did not get that, think of a circle)
"So, we were thinking..." Ukyo broke the silence, getting everyone's attention "Shampoo and I are planning to give Akane a makeover!"
Akane by that time was drinking. She spits out her drink when she heard what Ukyo said and looks at Mousse, seeing who first took her 'surprised look'
"Akane!" Mousse complained as Ryoga and Ranma chuckled by what they saw.
"I'm...so sorry Mousse!" she said as she grabs some tissue from her bag
"Aiya~" Shampoo looked at Mousse for a second before grabbing a tissue as well "Is okay, Shampoo handle this" she said as she smiled at Akane and helped Mousse cleaning up.
"I'm really sorry" Akane repeated then she looked at Ukyo "Why me?!"
"Yeah what gave ya the idea?" Ranma finally spoke
"We think Akane is too too pretty, if she only know how to dress" Shampoo said with a bright smile on her face
Ukyo nodded as she continued to eat
"No!" Akane quickly answered as if she was about to lose something
"Ranma, help us out here" Ukyo said looking at the wide eyed Ranma
"W-why me?" He asked and she swore she saw a shade of pink on his face
"Because you're her best friend" Ryoga said, grinning as if teasing Ranma even more
Ranma looked away before any of them sees his red face. He looked down and clears his throat before looking at Akane "Well... Why not? You'll still be Akane, right?"
Akane looked at him as he smiled. She looked down and took a deep breath before speaking again "F-fine..." She said in a low voice
"Alright! So we'll be at your house tomorrow morning!" Ukyo happily said as Shampoo nodded. She then looked at Ranma and smiled "So you walk with Ryoga tomorrow okay Ranma?"
"B-but..." Ranma tried to protest but seeing Ukyo's excitement and he doesn't want Ryoga getting lost either unless they want to search for him for months, he just nodded and gets a donut out of his bag.
"You want some 'Kane?" he asked and gave the half of it to her when he saw her smile.
"You always were a big eater, how come you still maintain your figure" Ukyo asked her as she watched her eat it with one gulp
"Basketball" was all Akane said
"Yeah but it doesn't help flat-chested-" Ranma was cut by Akanes punch on his arm
"Dare to continue that?" she looks at him with the 'I'll-kill-you-if-you-dont-watch-your-mouth-look'
"N-no..." he said as he laughed nervously
"That's enough you love birds, bell's about to ring" Mousse said looking at his watch as the others started cleaning up their mess
Before Ranma and Akane could react by what he said, the bell rang just as Mousse said and they got back to class.
After school, Ukyo and Shampoo dragged Akane out leaving Ranma behind.
He sighed as he saw them going outside the school gate already as Akane shouted "sorry" because they won't be going home together today.
"Let's go" Ryoga's said as he tapped Ranma on his shoulder which made Ranma jump "What? On a deep thought I see" he grinned at Ranma as he started walking past him
"H-hey! Don't go ahead, I don't want you getting lost buddy" Ranma said as he started running after him
"Yeah yeah..." There was a long pause before he started talking again, when Ranma's already beside him he finally breaks the silence "So... What do you think?"
"About what..." Ranma asked, not sure what he's talking about
"Nothing..." Ryoga said dropping the topic, knowing that his friend is worried about Akane
"I'm worried about Akane though..." Ranma finally admits
"I'm sure you are buddy" he said smiling at him
"What if..." Ranma started but didn't nother to continue what he was about to say
"You're worried she might change?" Ryoga finished for him as he looked forward and sees Ukyo's shop "Well, gotta go. See ya tomorrow"
"Yeah don't get lost now alright" Ranma says as he waves goodbye to his friend.
Meanwhile on the girls...
Ukyo and Shampoo are going back and forth in front of Akane as they were busy looking around for some clothes that Akane can wear.
Akane just sat down on a chair, luckily there is one. She watched at Ukyo and Shampoo already getting bored.
'This is going to be a long night'

Heeeey~ long time no see! And update!
I'm sorry for the long wait and now I'm re-writing this
I feel so bad. But I really can't continue the old one because it bothers me so much. So I decided to just re-start on Chapter one and change details. The story's a bit the same though.
thank you so much for those who kept waiting ~ ^~^
