Akane's Birthday-Part 3
Chapter 3-Presents
' 'are thoughts,k? ^-^
"Time for the presents!" Nabiki shouted.
"Huh?" everyone chorused, even Akane.
"Whatever you guys have in your pockets, empty it out. Then, hand it over to Akane."
"B-B-But Nabiki!!" Akane stammered, "Th-They don't have to!"
"Shush. You'll see." Nabiki definitely had something up her sleeves. "Remember! Doesn't
have to be wrapped! Don't forget, you ate the cake!"
So the giving-presents-to-Akane plan worked. Everybody had something to give. But let
me tell you, it will be weird presents.
"Shampoo about to give Ranma this, but Shampoo...give to you. Is love potion."
"Uh...thanks Shampoo," said Akane. 'What would I need this for??' she thought.
"Huh-huh. Here you go, crossdresser's wife."
"I'm not his wife!" Akane looked at what Pantyhose Taro gave her. 'Oh great. A pantyhose.'
"Here you go, sweet Akane!" Happosai cried. "Just for you!"
"A bra that says, 'To Akane Tendo from Tendo doo-doo house.'" Akane read. She pounded
Happosai. As the rest of the presents were passed to her, Akane found out that Ranma was
nowhere to be seen. 'Huh...where's Ranma?' she thought. But she also kept her focus on
the presents.
A toy stuffed pig from Akari that said 'To Ryoga'.
Nothing from Shinnosuke. He forgot.
A picture of Kuno from Kuno.
A paper doll, nail, and hammer from Gosunkugi.
Stickers, nail polish, and other girly stuff from Akane's friends from school.
A cologne from Cologne.
Mousse from Mousse.
A love rose from Kodachi. (not what you think!)
A spatula and a mini cookbook from Ukyo (what good would that do?).
And a bandana from Ryoga.
All these things just "happened" to be in their pockets.
Still, Ranma wasn't there. And still, no one noticed.
Now it was her family's turn to give Akane something.
A beautiful red bow from Kasumi.
Yen from Nabiki.
A promise that Akane will marry Ranma someday from Soun and Genma. (Blecch!)
Finally, everyone left. The decorations were put down and Ranma wasn't there.
'Stupid Ranma! He could've at least say...' Akane thought.
"Hey." He appeared out of nowhere.
"R-Ranma."
"Here." It was a box.
"Um." But Ranma left.
Not knowing what to do, Akane just opened it.
Inside it said:
Happy Birthday, Akane. ...Thanks for everything.
-Ranma
Akane gasped. Also inside was the most rarest, beautiful flower that had the most nicest
scent. Rumors said that you could only get it if you go through the most horrible place
and defeat the most horrible but beautiful woman without temptation to...you know.
Akane found a tear sliding through her face. She was given the best birthday present of all.
