DISCLAIMER: oh. I do not own Ranma ½ because I'm not Rumiko Takahashi.
A/N: this is my very first fanfic. I'm not so good in English because it's not first language. So sorry for the wrong grammars! I do hope you like my story.
Saotome family and the Tendo family are in war. What if Ranma and Akane never engaged? Could they end up together? Could they accept what will happen?

- Start of the class - Monday -
"Oy, Akane! Ryouga!" Ranma yelled at his two best friends.
Ryouga turned around to see Ranma running to them, "Oh Ranma? How's China? When did you come back?"
Ranma catch up with them, still panting, "Fine, just two weeks ago. What's with Akane?" she's not facing me, Ranma thought.
"Ranma, She's, uhm, well, in fact, she is…"
Akane turn around, "I'm Fine Ranma.", not looking at his eyes, "Welcome back…"
"Thank you, Akane. Sorry for not telling you about that trip to China."
"Yeah, yeah…"
And the three of them walk to school.
Since Ranma and Akane have the same classes since 3rd grade, Ryouga is on another class. Ranma whisper to Akane, "I'll make it up to you, Can we go out after school?"
"That will be great Ranma. I will mallet you after school, since you don't notice; I'm upset for not telling me your trip to china!"
"Sorry about that Akane, Pop forced me to come."
"Ok, Ok. Where will be going?"
"Maybe Ucchan's, I miss Okonomiyaki!"
"Okay."

-After school-
RANMA POV:
Oh no, it looks like it'll be rain.
"Akane, do you have an umbrella?"
She shook her head. Oh great, this is not the right time to tell her about this. I have to get to Ucchan before it rain.
"Come Akane, will go to Ucchan in my way."
I carry my love, and I jumped to the fence, then roof to roof. We got to Ucchan on time. We are greeted by our friend, Ucchan.
"Two you-know-what please!" I ordered to Ucchan.
Then minutes passed, presto, a two delicious okonomiyaki. "Here you go sugar, if you want something, just go inside, Konatsu is sick, well, JA."
I keep glancing at Akane, She's still upset. While eating her okonomiyaki, she stood up and run inside. Chili sauce again. Ucchan used to put very hot chili on Akane's food, just for laughs.
I finish my Okonomiyaki, 5 minutes passed, Akane haven't returned yet. I'm sure she scolded Ucchan for putting chili sauce again.
I stood up walk to the door, as I bumped to Akane, holding a pitcher of water, and SPLASH, the pitcher was on top of my chest as I changed to a girl. Akane is staring at me, in my girl form. Maybe she will pull out her mallet and yelling at me for not telling her that I can turn into a girl!
"Oh, I'm sorry miss! Are you alright? I didn't see you coming!"
WHAT! She's apologizing? This girl must be very stupid for not noticing I'm Ranma. Oh well, better play along. This is not the right time to tell her, not to Ucchan's place.
"Don't you worry, my friend runs this place, and she can lend you some clothes."
"No, it's alright. My house is nearby; I could go home to change. Here's the bill, two chili Okonomiyaki."
"Okay."
And then, here I was, outside at Ucchan's, walking in the rain, I wonder how can I explain why I'm gone, she will be too upset.

-Saotome Residence- still Monday-
NORMAL POV:
Ranma have just taken a bath, thinking Akane. He was going to tell her tomorrow what really happened. He can't hide something, oh well not the fact that he loves her deeply since 3rd grade. He's staring the stars at their balcony, he remember when he was at 5th grade the school held a class trip, he and Akane got lost on the city, she was crying back then, but he told her the star would fall right at her if she keeps crying. He smiled at remembering those lies. Then minutes later, he heard a man's voice. He look at the gates and saw his Pop talking to someone he don't know, he saw a middle-age woman with a short blue hair and brown eyes. He thought again of Akane, "oh, how I wish I could tell you I love you so much…" he whisper.
"Who do you loved, Ranma?" the voice whisper back, he turn around and saw his mother smiling. Ranma blush and can't say anything.
"Oh, my son is growing up! Tell me, who do you love?"
"My best friend mum, Akane, you haven't met her yet. She was my friend since 3rd grade."
"Ow, that long you wait?"
Ranma nodded.
"Tell her as soon as possible, tell her before its too late, or you will end up just like her." Nodoka is referring to the woman outside their gates.
"Who is she, mother?" thinking of Akane who look just like her.
"That's my best friend since middle school, she used to be in love with someone but it's too late when she told her feelings."
"What happened, mother?"
"It was the man she loves secretly was my boyfriend when we were in college. It was your father she loved the most. She was hurt when she knew your Dad is courting me, I couldn't help it; I loved your father too. I chose him than her. So when I told Genma to help me find a man who will love my friend, he keeps pushing her to his best friend. She gave up on him and chose the man who loves her. When we graduated, I just got the news that they are engaged because she is pregnant."
"So why I never got to know her? Your story tells me you seemed to be okay."
"Well, 2 years after we graduated, they held a celebration, two years of marriage. Since that day, everything's change. The connection of that family to ours."
"What happened, mother?"
"Oh, I said so many things, it doesn't matter anymore, Ranma. Past is still past. Well, it's getting late, I'll prepare dinner..."
Then Nodoka left Ranma at the balcony, still confused.
