"Hey Ranma. . ." Akane said, a slight hint of nervousness in her voice.
"Hmm?" Ranma looked up from the bowl of rice he was wolfing down and pulled the chopsticks from his mouth. "What is it, Akane?"
"I, um, have a strange question for you." The nervousness was more apparent now.
"Uh, ok. . .what is it?"
"What would you say if I told you I was a man?" she asked.
Ranma was silent for a moment.
"What?"
"-Just wondering, that's all!"
"I. . .uh. . .damn, that IS a weird question!" Ranma scratched his head. "I'd probably call you a liar, since I suppose your father would've known if you were male, and this whole fiancé business wouldn't be happening."
"-But let's suppose, just pretending of course, I had gotten an operation done on my own time and with my own money, so Dad was never informed." Akane bit her upper lip. "What would you say then?"
Ranma made no sounds.
"Ok, forget it." Akane sighed and reached for her chopsticks.
With nothing left to imagine, Ranma shivered.
