Chapter 2

First of all, I'm fully aware that I stand a chance of getting sued for what I'm doing. I'm fully aware that I don't own the right to use Disney songs in this fic. However, don't all people who write song fics take this kinda risk? With that, I would like it to be know that I don't own Ranma ½ or Disney songs so Disney/Rumiko; PLEASE DON'T SUE!!!!

Akane woke up late that morning. She yawned and stretched out her arms. Then her left hand brushed up against something. She looked over to her nightstand and saw a slightly wilted rose and a note. She read the note aloud "Sorry I forgot your birthday. Try not to stay angry because, you're cute when you smile". Judging from the handwriting, she knew it had to be Ranma.

Akane smiled to herself. Then she realized that she was blushing. She tried to think of other things besides Ranma. After all, it seemed like every time she and Ranma got even slightly close, either Ranma or someone else would kill the moment. Yet she still wanted to be around him.

Then she heard the voices of her sisters, Ukyo, Shampoo, and Kodachi in her head.

"Akane, maybe you should give Ranma another chance" said Kasumi

"If you don't make up with Ranma, he'll just turn his attention to another girl" said Nabiki

"Why would Ranma want you when he have Shampoo" said…Shampoo

"Ran-chan belongs to me, ya hear" said Ukyo

"Everyone knows Ranma darling loves me the most" laughed Kodachi

Akane slumped down into her bed. The voices wouldn't stop their taunting. She smelled the rose and its scent reminded her of all the good times she had with Ranma (though they were few and far between).

Akane:

If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that!

The Voices: Who'd' ya think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of

Akane:
No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no

The Voices:
You swoon, you sigh
Why deny it, uh-oh

Akane:
It's too cliché
I won't say I'm in love

I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out
Oh

The Voices:
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad

Akane:
No chance, now way
I won't say it, no, no

The Voices:
Give up, give in
Check the grin you're in love

Akane:
This scene won't play,
I won't say I'm in love

The Voices:
You're doin flips read our lips
You're in love

Akane:
You're way off base
I won't say it
Get off my case
I won't say it

The Voices:
Girl, don't be proud
It's O.K. you're in love

Akane:
Oh
At least out loud,
I won't say
I'm in love

The voices suddenly stopped and Akane stared at the rose and smiled.

Shortly after, Akane got dressed. She decided that since it was a nice day, to wear a bright yellow sundress. She ran down the stairs with a smile on her face. Kasumi was in the kitchen as usual making lunch.

"Don't you look nice today Akane" said Kasumi

"Thanks. Do you know where Ranma is?" asked Akane

"He went out for a little while. He should be back soon. I think he's trying to make up for forgetting your birthday"

"Oh well if you see him, could you tell him I'm looking for him?"

"I will"

With that, Akane left.

Later that day, Akane was lying on the rooftop when Ranma suddenly jumped up. Akane who pretended to still be mad at him said "What do you want"

"Did you get my note?"

"Yeah"

"So, what do you think?"

"I think you're going to have to do better than that for my forgiveness".

"I figured you'd say that. So I went and got us reservations at one of the fancier restaurants in town."

"It's a start"

It took all of Akane's willpower to keep a straight face and to keep herself from glomping Ranma right there.

Ranma jumped down with a huge blush because, he had essentially asked Akane out on a date and he was pretty sure she knew it too. However, she didn't say no to him so maybe she did feel the same way about him as he did about her.

Nabiki who had been watching the whole thing just smiled and said "Aint love grand"

End

I figure there will probably be only two or three more chapters in this story. So stay tuned.
