A year has passed since we last saw Ranma and the others, and there is a month left in summer vacation.
"Come on Ranma, quit running away," said Akane as she and Ranma ran around the dojo.
"I told you, I'm not going to fight you," said Ranma as he dodged her attacks.
"What, you don't want to fight me since I'm a girl, or because we're actually going out now?" asked Akane.
"Both, besides my father told me not to since the last time I did you got hurt," said Ranma as he stopped a kick aimed for his head.
"Then I guess I have no choice," said Akane as she ran to a nearby bucket of water and splashed it onto Ranma.
"Why the heck did you do that?" asked female Ranma.
"Because now we are both girls, and it would be more fare this way," said Akane as she readied to attack again.
"Alright then, but don't blame me when you lose," said Ranma as he took his stance. Meanwhile, at the door, Nabiki was videoing the two.
"What are you doing over there, Nabiki?" asked Kasumi as she walked up.
"I'm videoing Ranma and Akane's training, I hope I can sell it to some people," said Nabiki.
"Is money the only thing you ever think of?" asked Kasumi.
"Sh, things are getting good," said Nabiki as she noticed Akane throw Ranma across the room.
"Is that all you have, Akane?" asked Ranma as he caught himself.
"I still have more," said Akane as she ran at him. However, before she could hit Ranma, he took and put the bottom of his hands together and slammed them into her chest, sending Akane flying across the room.
"Akane, are you alright?!" asked Ranma as he ran to check on her.
"That was a good shot," said Akane as she sat up with some pain in her ribs.
"I'm sorry about that, I did not mean to use that much strength," said Ranma.
"It's alright, Ranma; besides, we should take a break, so we can finish packing for our trip," said Akane as she stood up.
"You're right, but first we should get you checked out," said Ranma as he noticed how she was holding her right side.
