"ATTENTION CLASSS!!!!"

the teacher shouted, and the attention of the class shifted to the teacher. "okay, now that I FINALLY have your attention, I would like to announce something..." there was silence "as you all know, that valentines day is only a month away, and on that day we will be having a valentines dance held in our school gym!"

giggles and shouts erupted after that, but Akane was doing neither, instead she was thinking about who she would bring to the dance, she was really hoping it was Ranma. So after school, a bunch of boys asked Akane to the dance and she said to all of the boys "I'm still thinking..." Ranma on the other hand was bugged by Kodachi, Ukyou and Shampoo most of the time

. So after all the carnage, they were able to walk back to Akane's house. Ranma was on that rail that he would usually walk on, while Akane on the ground, neither of them talked throughout the whole walk. "Were home..."

the 2 of them mumbled as they stepped in the house, they went up the stairs, both very tired. Akane was still thinking about Ranma, if he was going to take her to the dance, but then she muttered to herself after a while of thinking, "it's not going to happen..." Akane then sighed, and then changed into her regular clothes

. "Dinner time!" Kasumi said loudly in her usual sing-song voice, Akane went down the stairs and she sighed, then she entered the dining room. Everyone was at the table, Mr. Tendou, Nabiki (who was staring at the TV) Kasumi (who was beside the rice cooker) and Ranma and Genma, (Ranma in girl form and Genma in panda form) *apparently those two were training and they ended up getting themselves soaked in the pond* Akane thought to herself, she gave a small smile.

After dinner, everyone resumed their usual things, Ranma was taking a hot bath, Genma and Soun playing Shogi, Nabiki was watching TV, and Kasumi was making tea. Akane was in the Dojo, and she was breaking some cement no less, and after that Akane went back up to her room and flopped on her bed, and gave a big sigh. *I doubt he is going to take me...He might take Ukyou or Shampoo... I bet he doesn't even care about me... I don't care about him either* Akane thought, Akane then grabbed her pillow then put her face on it and screamed "RANMA NO BAKAAA!",

then a voice appeared in her head again and said *If you don't care about him, then why do you keep wondering who he is going to take to the dance?*. Akane went to sleep with that thought in her head... The next morning, Akane woke up bright and early, she then changed, and ran to Ranma's room to see if he was awake yet, she was surprised to see his bed empty, so she ran downstairs to eat breakfast, and to her surprise again, Ranma wasn't at the table. So Akane had a quick breakfast, and she was thinking where did Ranma go, she then asked Kasumi, "Kasumi, have you seen Ranma?", Kasumi nodded a light nod and said "He went out really early in the morning, I wonder what the boy is up to.... oh will you look at that sky...." Akane then grabbed her bag and ran out of the house, and she was still thinking where Ranma went. Later at school, Ranma was there, but he wasn't looking too well, he looked like he didn't sleep.

During lunch time Akane saw Ranma sitting under a tree, sleeping. "Hey Ranma..." Ranma woke up and saw Akane standing there with a concerned look on her face, "what Akane?" he replied in a groggy sort of way, "Where did you go this morning? Kasumi said you left really early, really early." Akane asked, then Ranma replied "I went nowhere" and Akane said with a tone that said I-bet-you-were-somewhere and she said "hmmph! I bet you were planning something for the Valentines dance and you were going to go with Kodachi, Shampoo or Ukyou weren't you?

And Ranma replied with an angry voice "No I didn't and Akane will you leave me alone for awhile, I have got a lot of things on my mind, and I don't need a tomboy like you to make it worse" Ranma stood up and stuck his tongue out at her and Akane pulled out the mallet from nowhere and whacked him on the head and screamed at him "IM SORRY FOR BIENG A TOMBOY!"

Akane walked away but she was thinking about what Ranma said, *what does he mean by ... I have got a lot of things on my mind... I wonder*

later when the two of them got home, Ranma went straight to Nabiki's room and Akane got suspicious... She quickly went inside her room, and stuck her ear on her wall to try to eavesdrop on what the 2 of them might be conversing about, she then heard something that made Akane want to burst into tears, she knew whose voice belonged to who (duh) she ran to her bed and started tearing, what she heard was this:

So Nabiki, will you come with me........why didn't you ask Akane.......She isn't the type of person for this, you're the only one......Ok then if you say so Ranma......
