Discussions, Decisions, and Deals
After dinner that night, Ranma (male) and Akane went outside. Akane wasn't sure what was going on with Ranma, but it seemed pretty urgent.
"So what's going on?" Akane asked.
Ranma sighed. "You'll never guess what happened. You know how I was going to the park to spy on Kuno?"
"Yeah," said Akane.
"Well," continued Ranma, "I got pushed into the fountain and became a girl and then Kuno saw me. It turns out that he booked a 12-day Alaska cruise for the two of us." Ranma sighed again. "This may sound crazy, but I think I might go with him. It would be the perfect way to prove once and for all that Ranma and the pigtailed girl are the same person."
Akane looked as though she didn't believe him.
"I'm serious!" protested Ranma. "But… well, I wanted your opinion."
Akane couldn't help but smile. She thought for a minute, and then said, "You have a good point about it being the perfect way to make him realize things. But you must admit that if it gets out of hand, then things could get pretty bad. I don't know, Ranma. It might not be a good idea. And if you're going to be in Alaska, then hot water might be somewhat hard to find. A lot of things could go wrong."
They sat in silence, and finally Ranma came to a decision. "I'm going to go. This pigtailed girl stuff just has to end. Besides," Ranma added with a grin, "I'll get a free vacation."
"…Okay, Ranma," Akane replied unsurely. "But if something goes wrong, don't say I didn't warn you!"
Akane got up and started to walk into the house when she ran into Nabiki, who was standing at the door.
"Nabiki, were you listening?" Akane asked, even though she already knew the answer.
Nabiki smiled and said, "I can get you a ticket on that cruise- all expenses paid- so that you can keep an eye on Ranma and Kuno… for only 100,000 yen."
Akane groaned.

The next week, Ranma and Kuno were about to depart for Alaska, and Akane had a ticket and was ready to follow them.
