Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma at all. I just wanted to feel like a genius for thinking of a story.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

So close, so hot, any closer and...and...

"AH!" Ranma jumped up in a cold sweat. He looked around, "It was just a dream...just a dream."

He lay back down, but immediately jumped back up again, "I need a drink...maybe that'll clear the mental image in my mind..."

Ranma tiptoed to the kitchen. He saw a faint glow coming from it, hmm, I guess I'm not the only one up. he thought.

He walked in and saw his fiancée, Akane, sitting next to the fridge drinking a glass of water.

"So, you couldn't sleep either, huh." Ranma said, coming up behind her.

Akane jumped a bit and looked up at him, "Yeah, my room felt really stuffy, I had to get out...what's wrong with you?"

Ranma gulped and blushed. Akane tilted her head to the side, "Ranma?"

"Oh n...nothing, I just had a bad dream and, uh..." Akane nodded, "...and you wanted something to drink to clear your mind, I know here." She handed him some water.

Ranma took it and sat down.

Akane looked at him in wonder and asked, "So what was the dream about?"

Ranma choked on his water, "Uh, Um....uh..." he sputtered.

Akane raised an eyebrow, "What? Did Kuno chase you around again? Were you being his 'osagi onna' or pig-tailed girl again?"

Ranma grimaced, "No it wasn't that bad! That is just terrifying."

Akane giggled, "Then what?"

Ranma stood up, "You know what? Don't worry about it. I'm goin' back to bed. We got school tomorrow, 'night." He walked off.

"Hmm," Akane said to herself, "I wonder if I said something wrong. Oh well, that's Ranma." She to went off to bed.

Next morning

"Ok everyone, breakfast!" Kasumi called out.

"Got ya Saotome!" Mr. Tendo said, "Ah thank you, Kasumi, this looks wonderful."

Kasumi smiled, "Why thank you, Father."

Mr. Saotome laughed, "Kissing up to everyone this early on the morning, eh Tendo?"

"Seems to work with you, Saotome." He shot back.

Just then Akane rushed in and started eating.

"Oh my, Akane, what's the rush?" Kasumi asked her younger sister.

"Aren't I running late?" Akane asked, looking up.

"No, I don't believe so..." Kasumi replied.

"Oh, I just feel a bit off today, I guess." Akane said.

They heard to voices down hall.

"Ranma's up." Akane said.

Sure enough Nabiki and Ranma walked in. "Aw come on Nabiki, let me borrow it. Please?" Ranma whined.

"Fine, you can borrow it, "Ranma cheered, "for 3,000 yen."

Ranma fell over.

"What's going on?" Akane asked, "Nabiki, why are you trying to con Ranma?"

Nabiki blinked, "Hmm...you're right, he doesn't have that kind of money..." she smiled, "Akane dear, can I take a few pictures of you?"

"Why?"

"I want to get some money off of Kuno-baby."

Akane fell over.

Ranma scoffed, "That's a waste. I'm surprised Kuno would even pay that much. I mean, she's built like a brick and has no sex appeal..."

WHACK! Akane pulled out a mallet and slammed him over the head.

"Honestly." Akane said to the twitching Ranma, "Oh no! Now we're going to be late! Let's go Ranma!" she grabbed him and took off.

"Oh dear, poor Ranma never got to finish his food." Kasumi said.

"And so, a normal day begins." Nabiki said, getting up to leave too.

on the way to school

"Akane? Whoa Akane! Hey stop! Aw jeez will ya stop already?!"

Akane ran to the school grounds and slammed Ranma against the wall, "Must you be an ass 24 hours a-hey!" She looked down.

"I told you to slow down." Ranma-chan said.

"Oh grr. Let's go get some hot water." Akane turned to leave.

"Ah! Akane Tendo! Pig-tailed girl! Date me!" Kuno said, running up to them.

"IN YOUR DREAMS!" They yelled and punched him into the air.

"What a pervert." Ranma-chan sighed, "Ow! Hot! What the..."

"Sorry Ranma, I didn't know it was that hot."

"How did you get hot water so fast?" Ranma asked.

"I forget that Kasumi packed a thermos for this kind of thing."

"Nice."

"Well..." she was cut off by the first bell, "Let's go" They took off and made it on time.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

So what do you think? What did Ranma dream about? What was he begging Nabiki for? Heh heh. You have to wait! Hahahahaha! I'm evil! }:- Hope you liked it! Please RR! Tell me what you think!
