Chapter 1: Ranma's song
A/N: The idea came to me at the Memorial day parade downtown when I saw this thing being sold at a kid's lemonade stand. Song lyrics may be revised.
Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma or the song Photograph by Nickelback.
"Would Ranma Saotome come up and perform his song for our contest," said the host.
"Yes, ma'am," answered Ranma. "This song is dedicated to all my friends, including you Ryoga."
"I can't believe Ranma acknowledged ME!" said Ryoga. "Anyways, I always knew he didn't hate me."
"I call this song photograph," said Ranma, as he started to sing.
"Look at this photograph, every time I do it makes me laugh.
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell was on Ryoga's head?
And this is where I grew up," sang Ranma.
"Ranma sings SO beautifully!" whispered Ukyo to Akane.
"I know, right?" said Akane.
"I think mom fixed it up,I never knew we'd ever went withoutThe second floor is hard for sneaking out," sang Ranma, again.
"He's good!" said Genma. "My boy is a star already!"
"Don't get any funny ideas, got it?" said Akane sternly.
"Y-yes," said Genma shakily.
"And this is where I went to school,Most of the time had better things to do,School record says I was late everyday,I must have done it all the time," sang Ranma again.
"I wonder if it's too late,Should I go back and try again?Life's better now then it was back then,If I was them I wouldn't let me in," sang Ranma, yet again.
"Oh, oh, ohOh, god, I,"
"Every memory of looking out the back doorI had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floorIt's hard to say it, time to say itGoodbye, memory of walking out the front doorI found the photo of the friend that I was looking forIt's hard to say it, time to say itGoodbye, goodbye,"
"Remember the old arcade,Blew every dollar that we ever made,The cops hated us hangin' out,They say somebody went and burned it down,"
"We used to listen to the radio,And sing along with every song we know,We said someday we'd find out how it feels,To sing to more than just the steering wheel,"
"Akane's the first girl I kissed,
At least willingly,I was so nervous that I nearly missed,She's been nicer since then,"
"Oh, oh, ohOh, god, I,"
"Every memory of looking out the back doorI had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floorIt's hard to say it, time to say itGoodbye, memory of walking out the front doorI found the photo of the friend that I was looking forIt's hard to say it, time to say itGoodbye, goodbye,"
"I miss that town,I miss the faces,You can't erase,You can't replace it,I miss it now,I can't believe it,So hard to stay,Too hard to leave it,"
"If I could I relive those days,I know the one thing that would never change,"
"Every memory of looking out the back doorI had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floorIt's hard to say it, time to say itGoodbye, memory of walking out the front doorI found the photo of the friend that I was looking forIt's hard to say it, time to say itGoodbye, goodbye,"
"Look at this photograph,Every time I do it makes me laugh,Every time I do it makes me... " Ranma's voice faded and everybody began to clap.
"That was great, Ran-chan!" said Ukyo.
"Yeah!" said Akane to back her up.
"Why thanks guys, and what about you, Ryoga?" asked Ranma.
"I liked it!" said Ryoga.
"The next contestant is……………"
