ABC's notes- A crazy Christmas story what more can I say?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Akane Tendo's eyes gleamed as she walked down the street looking through the windows of shops as she passed. It was a day before Christmas and she had bought something for everyone. Well almost everyone. But it was hard to pick out a gift for someone who you almost never got along with. Akane froze in front of the window of a martial arts equipment store. It was a new store, in fact, Akane had never been inside it. But what had made her freeze was not the fact that it was new. Oh no. It was what was in the window. Something perfect for Ranma. There was a gi. But no just an ordinary gi. It was perfect for Ranma. A dragon covering the area just before the tie and the seams were that of gold thread. Akane knew Ranma would love it. She nervously stepped into the store and walked up to the counter.(I should have a composite of Ranma wearing his gi on my site http://akane_chan3.tripod.com by August 28th.) "Hello Miss.. May I help you?" The clerk asked. "Yes, well. I happened to notice the gi in the window. And I was wondering how much it costs?" The clerk smiled. "Ah yes. That particular gi happens to cost one hundred thousand yen." Akane bit her lip and looked into her bag. If she bought the gi, she would have enough money to get something to eat on her way home. Work does pay off if she could by it! She should get a real job! "Yes. I'll take it then." The clerk smiled again and went over to the window. He took it off the maniquin and brought it to the counter placing it in a box. "Will that be all?" She nodded and handed him the money. "Have a nice day." "You too." Akane replied and ran out of the shop. She decided to go straight home instead of getting something to eat since it was almost dinner time. A smile spread across the young womans face. 'Ranma will be so surprised! He'll love it!' Akane was soon entering the kitchen to see Kasumi finishing dinner. "Tadaima!" "Hello Akane. How did your shopping go?" "O.K. I guess." "Did you finish?" "Yes." Kasumi smiled. She could tell her sister was excited about something. "So, uh. What did you buy?" Akanes face remained blank. "Stuff." "Like?" "Presents." "For?" "Christmas." Kasumi sighed and laughed. "All right don't tell me. Go on and wash up." Akane grabbed her bags and did so taking the bags to her room then going into the bathroom and washing her hands and face.
