Anything-Goes Karaoke

NekoRanma13

D/C: I don't own Ranma ½ or any characters in it. I don't own the song "Love Panic" which is a Ranma ½ song (for those who might not know that). So don't sue me, k?

A/N: completely random… there isn't much romance in this chapter… might be some in next chapter(s) though… ^.^'

Akane cheerfully hopped down the stairs, running smack into Ranma, when she reached the bottom, causing both of them to fall.

            "Hi Ranma!" Akane said in a sing-song voice, as she got up, "Sorry 'bout that!"

            "Uh… ok…" Ranma said, shocked that she hadn't malleted him or even yelled at him.

            "What 'cha looking at me like that for?" Akane giggled at Ranma's shocked face, "So I'm not mad… big deal!"

            "Why th' heck are ya in such a good mood? An' what are ya dressed up like that for?" Ranma questioned, eyeing Akane's outfit: tight jeans, an old black tank top of Ranma's (which had his name on it), with the bottom half cut off, and a denim jacket.

            "I'm going to a kareoke bar with my friends," Akane said leaning close to Ranma, "You should come too. Your two friends from school are tagging along, you might as well, too."

            "Sure…" Ranma said, blushing a bit. "Might as well since I got nothin' else to do… but don't ya get mad at me if any of my 'fan club' shows up, k?"

            "Ok! I promise!" Akane answered, standing up straight, and walking out the door, Ranma following, "Besides, it's still kinda early. Ukyo and Shampoo will still be busy at their restaurants, won't they?"

            "I guess so…" Ranma said, "But it won't stop 'em from comin' later… or stop Ryoga or the Kunos from comin' anytime…"

            "Of course, but the Kunos are on a family vacation and who-knows-where Ryoga is…" Akane commented.

            "True, Ryoga is always lost, but he has a record for turning up at the worst times…" Ranma said.

"Let's just forget bout them all for tonight! Come on! Let's get going!!!" Akane exclaimed grabbing Ranma's wrist & dragged him the rest of the way to the bar.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            Akane was extremely hyper when she and Ranma entered the karaoke bar. She quickly dragged Ranma through the crowds of people to the table where Ranma's two friends sat. It wasn't until they reached the table when Akane released her hold on his wrist. The both sat down, Ranma rubbing his wrist and muttering something.

            "Hey guys!" Akane said, grinning, to the two guys, "Where are my friends?"

            "They're just about to sing," one said as the other pointed to the stage that suddenly lit up. They all turned their attention to the stage as the music started.

All dressed up to go out on Sunday.

Sky blue, sun is bright…it's a date day.

Not gonna say it, can't make me say it,

No way gonna let you have your way.

Even though I don't want you to hate me,

When you say "its okay." and look at me.

The love don't faze me, it's the word that's crazy.

It's something I gotta work on.

You know, here's how it goes – you and me,

We meet on the street and then,

I'd say, "Outta my way!"

I don't know how you confuse me so.

But, maybe today with the waves,

So blue, I can be true with you.

Who knows? Maybe I'll say the word "love"…?!

Gonna kiss you now, hold you now,

This is love we've found.

Even if it's just in my dreams.

C'mon, hold me now, real tight now,

Let me show you how.

Fine, I say, have it your way… I love you!

C'mon, kiss me now, no words now,

It's just us for now.

Even I don't know why… I want you!

Gonna hold you now, all mine now,

It don't matter how.

Don't it's just me… I need you!

C'mon, hold me now, real tight now,

Let me show you how.

Fine, I say, have it your way… I love you!

Akane's friends bowed happily at the applause. They quickly made their way off stage and to the table. Akane jumped up, smiling, and hugged both of her friends.

"That was terrific! You two were great!" Akane squealed, sitting back down along with her friends.

"You really think so?" one said, "you should go up, Akane. You're better than us!"

"'Kane? Th' Tomboy a better singer?" Ranma commented without much thought, slouched in his chair, "Heh! I don' believe ya!"

"Shut up, jerk!" Akane growled, scowling at him, "I'll go up there an' show ya myself I'm better than you, 'Mr. I-can-do-anything-as-long-as-it-has-'Anything-Goes Martial arts'-in-the-name'!  I challenge you, Ranma Saotome, to an Anything-Goes-Martial-Arts Karaoke contest!"

"Fine! Bring it on Tomboy!" Ranma jumped up, smirking.

"Great! I'll go first!" Akane said, and she ran up to the stage and selected her song.

A/N: Thank you all for reading my story! I promise I'll have the second chapter up as soon as possible, K? Please give me any reviews, questions, comments, ideas... I love reading them. I'd especially love any songs you'd want them to sing… I'd use any that I have lyrics to.
