Disclaimers: Now, I'm sure that you are quite intelligent. Do you really think that I own the Ranma ½ characters? I thought not. You would be correct, I do NOT own these characters, and no money is being made off of this fic (at least, not to my knowledge).

Summary: Kasumi gets stressed, and Akane offers her some advice. Oh my.

Stress Relief

It was a normal morning at the Tendo Dojo. Ranma was sulking because P-Chan had come home the previous night. He and his father had just turned back to their non-cursed forms, after pouring hot water over their heads, and were now fighting over breakfast. Nabiki had moved her plate to her lap to better protect it while she read through her notebook and worked out her profits. Akane fed P-Chan, who stared up at her with adoring, wobbly eyes. Soun Tendo was reading his newspaper. Kasumi was eating breakfast, with a slight look of concentration as she thought about something. Halfway through breakfast, she slapped her leg and made her choice. Ranma was very confused when he was suddenly picked up, thrown over Kasumi's shoulder and carried out side. The others stopped eating breakfast to stare in confusion. "Tendo?" Genma asked. "Yes, Saotome?" "Did I just see your daughter Kasumi pick up my son and throw him over her shoulder and carry him away?" Soun thought about this. "Don't be ridiculous, Saotome. It is Kasumi after all." "You're right Tendo." Genma agreed. He and Soun went back to eating, ignoring the splash from the koi pond outside. Nabiki summoned her camera from pocket space and Akane followed her to the door. Kasumi entered with a smile on her face. "Thank you, Akane." She said in her usual sweet voice. "You were right." "What were you right about?" Nabiki asked. Akane smiled and cradled P-Chan in her arms. "Kasumi mentioned that she was feeling stressed, so I told her that throwing Ranma in the pond always makes me feel better. Apparently, it works for her too." "I'll remember that." Nabiki said absently. Meanwhile, outside in the pond, Ranma continued to be very, very confused. He looked up at the sky. "WHAT DID I DO NOW?"

Author Note: Ano.it was late, and I was supposed to be falling asleep. This is what happened. Be thankful I didn't choose to write the OTHER thing that was floating around in my head. Now, see the review button? Good! Click it!
