Author's Intro: My prog shut down right in the middle of me writing this, so now I have to type it up all over again, which sucks so bad! I had to dig deep into the characters emotionally, which is quite draining for me, really, and then all the deep stuff just disappears in an instant. I think it had something to do with the spell checker the comp constantly wanting to change the word uncute to uncut, now I've added a whole bunch of the character names and terms to the user dictionary so hopefully this wont happen again. So now I present the next installment, in its second typed draft:
Ver. 2.0
Update: A spelling error at the beginning corrected, and an update to Kuno's reaction to Ranma's closet full of girl's clothing.
May 29th, 2003: Now I have all of these clothes, and I think I'll have to be a girl every other day to wear them. Normally I'm just a little weary about being splashed with cold water, but as a girl wearing those clothes hot water will start scaring the hell out of me. At least cold water is all over the place, so I can just quickly run to a pond, fountain, or swimming pool and dive in to save what little of my pride will be left at that point. Akane picked out a really nice dress, I'd say, it was amongst my favorites, and apparently hers as well. Thankfully, there was enough money left to go to the ice cream shop afterwards, which is one of my favorite girl pastimes, save the time when Shampoo was trying to kill me. Tomorrow is a trip to the theme park and Saturday night is the dance, so this week is just going to be crazy. I've gotten word back from Ryouga that everyone seems to be fairly calmed down, although some threats probably had to be made. Nabiki had to do a little blackmailing, or at least that's what I heard. Also, I think someone may have been through my room, Nabiki maybe, will she ever give up? I don't even keep my journal in my room anymore. Anyway, I think that's about it for today, but the next few days are going to be noteworthy as well I bet.
Dear Diary,
As of today, a GUY I know has a larger wardrobe of girls clothes than I do, and he just happens to be my fiancé. Perhaps I am a Tomboy, I already said before that I was bisexual, although it was really only one incident, and the thought of "Ranma-chan" doesn't really turn me on, of course nor does him as a guy. It figures because we've only been on one "date", and the only reason I call it that is because it's the closest we've come to something like that in the two years we've known each other. Tomorrow will be the first real date, to an amusement park, and an expensive one at that, just the two of us so I think it'll be safe to call a date. I doubt it'll be the day we fall in love, I don't believe in the whole "love at first sight" thing, not that it would be really, I guess it's more like "falling in love on the first date" that I don't believe in. I doubt Ranma believe in that either, or in anything that mushy at all. On the subject of my sexual orientation, I'm not sure if I should tell him too soon, he might freak out…then again he might be overjoyed. Even though I've said he's probably not that much of a pervert, he's still a guy, which automatically makes him perverted in some way shape or form, so I'll just have to live with it, I suppose. At least he isn't one of those really sick ones, he's one of the least perverted guys I know of, next to Dr. Tofu, who is so close to not being that way, although I'm not sure what kind of thoughts he might sometimes have about my oldest sister. Anyway, tomorrow's probably going to be fun, and I'll definitely make a point to at least enjoy myself.
Sincerely, Akane Tendo
(sorry if I forgot the ending salutation last time)
Dearest Journal,
I have recently heard some most disturbing news. That fiend, Ranma, has made his engagement to Akane official and the wedding is set to happen in less than three months time. As much as I'd like to stop this, her sister Nabiki and my date for the Senior Dance said she'd go with someone else if I tried to interfere. Perhaps my feelings for Akane are nothing more than puppy love, as well as my feelings for the tree borne kettle girl. They're a lost cause, anyway, considering I'll be going to Tokyo U in the fall and will be placed a good distance away, I will not have to witness Akane's suffering, if there's any at all. Akane seems up to it, and Nabiki let me go through Ranma's room searching for any black magic things that might be there while they went to the mall today. She assure me that Ranma had not been previously informed that she would let me do this, and I of course, now having the trust with her that I do, believed her. I found nothing except for a wardrobe of girl's clothing, which I must say is suspicious, but not black magic by any means. Still, why does he have them? Is it some perverted fetish he has? Or maybe he's loaning closet space to Akane because her own closet is full. In any case, I'm not certain I'll even know for sure. I did a rather thorough search, including looking for anything that might lead me to a secret underground chamber, but to no avail. Perhaps Akane really does like, even, forbid it, love him! It does not matter to me anymore, I am done with her, she can do as she wishes, even if it is marrying that tyrant.
Sincerely, Tatewaki Kuno
Author's Conclusion: Well, that's all for my two entry quota today. I hope you enjoyed all the hijinx I've put them through, and the guest entry by Kuno, I hope I portrayed his character okay (although it doesn't really matter I guess because I already made the disclaimer at the beginning of the story). So tomorrow I'll try my hand at a couple more chapters, which includes one of my longest, funniest, and perhaps most romantic third-person event: The Senior Dance. The only thing I'll tell you is that it's packed with surprises. ^_-
