Akane sat on the bleachers in the gym. She wondered how life would be like if she had fallen into one of the Jusenkyo springs. I wonder what thing I'd turn into. She thought. Maybe a cat like Shampoo, ha! Ranma would scream! Or I could turn into a duck like Mousse, or a panda like Mr. Saotome, or maybe I'd turn into a boy the same way Ranma turns into a girl. Akane shuddered at that last thought. She honestly didn't want to turn into a guy. That would be disgusting! Akane hopped off the bleachers and started on her way home. I'm just glad that I didn't fall into one of those springs. I don't know how the others live with it. I know I wouldn't be able to. Akane kicked a pebble across the road. Tommorow would be another tiresome day just like today, and the day before. She hung her head. When will Kuno learn that I am not interested in him and never will be? It also doesn't help that he's in love with the girl-type Ranma also. Well I'm sick and tired of all guys trying to date with me, and I'm sure as hell that Ranma is sick and tired of all those girls trying to date with him. Poor Ranma. sigh. Akane entered her house without the usual fight between Ranma and his father to disturb her quiet thoughts. She silently tiptoed to her room, closed the door and collapsed onto her bed. Maybe in the morning… was her sleeping thought.
