~~~Ukyo's Restaurant (afternoon)~~~
Ukyo was cooking her usual Japanese pancakes…
"Where am I?" Ryoga said.
"Ryoga-kun, lost again… eh?" Ukyo said while cooking her pancakes.
"Uh huh… one pancake please," Ryoga replied.
Moments later a plate was flying and landed on Ryoga's table.
"Better eat it quickly," Ukyo said in a snobbish manner.
"*chew* Why? *chew*," Ryoga said.
"'Cause Ran-chan and Akane-san are going on a date," Ukyo explained, "and I was planning to follow them."
Ryoga swallowed the pancake and visualized Akane and Ranma being sweet and everything. "That can't be! My beloved Akane-san having a date with Ranma," Ryoga blabbered.
This guy's obsessed! Ukyo sighed and said, "If you want… you can come with me."
Ryoga's eyes were glittering and said, "Really? You're inviting me?"
"Sure… why not? Besides I need someone to go with me," Ukyo replied, "Meet me… oh wait! I can't trust you with that… no offence… I mean you might get lost and…"
"I get your point!" Ryoga angrily said, "I'll just stay here."
"Okay! Just wait here," Ukyo said as she run off at the back of her restaurant. (In short… the place where she stores her ingredients.)
30 minutes later…
"What took you so long?!" Ryoga asked.
Ukyo was caring her spatula and complained, "Geez… it's just a few minutes… let's go!"
"Where?" Ryoga said as he was dragged along by Ukyo.
"To the festival," Ukyo explained, "Ran-chan and Akane-san are having their date there."
"Where do you get this information?" Ryogo asked.
"I asked Ran-chan," Ukyo replied.
~~~Festival~~~
"Ran-chan and Akane-san are supposed to be here at this time," Ukyo said while searching the place.
Ryoga helped searching and saw them near a booth. "There they are!" Ryoga exclaimed.
"Sssshhhhh!" Ukyo said as she covers Ryoga's mouth and hide behind the bushes.
"Hey! What's the big idea," Ryoga complained.
"Look, you have to be quiet or they'll notice us," Ukyo angrily said as she looked at Ranma who seems to be looking around.
"Okay, I'll shut up… just let go of me," Ryoga replied.
Ukyo let go and said, "We must hurry or we'll lose them."
They followed Ranma and Akane to a booth where you can get a fish using a paper net. As they got close they were splashed by cold water.
"You're so kawaii when you turn into a pig," Ukyo said while taking out something out of her bag, "Here."
Ryoga turned back into a man and said, "Arigato… but where did you get the hot water."
"I boiled the water before we left," Ukyo replied with a smile.
That's why she took so long. "Look, they're going to the canteen," Ryoga suddenly said.
"Good timing," Ukyo replied as she dragged Ryoga along, "I'm quite hungry... let's go!"
Ranma and Akane ordered food and sat down near the fountain. Ukyo and Ryoga ordered the food.
"One pasta please," Ukyo said with getting something out of her pocket, "and iced tea."
"That will be," the man at the counter said, "500 yen please."
Ukyo looked at her wallet and found only 200 yen. "May I cancel the order please," Ukyo sighed.
Ryoga looked at her and said, "Don't cancel it… I'll pay."
Ukyo looked at him and blushed slightly. "Um… arigato"
"No problem… its thanks for turning me a man back there," Ryoga said while blushing, "Eat it quickly or we'll lose them."
Ukyo ate it as fast as she could. "Let's go… Ryoga-kun," Ukyo said.
They went near the fountain and listening to Ranma and Akane's conversation.
"Ranma! Eat like a man not like a pig," Akane shouted at Ranma.
"Gomen," Ranma said as he swallowed the food, "I'm glad that you agreed to have a date with me."
Akane blushed and said, "I am your fiancée and father might scold me if I don't come."
"Remember the first time we met," Ranma said.
"I'll never forget that," Akane replied.
They suddenly giggled together.
Ukyo and Ryoga were quite angry. That girl! Stealing my Ran-chan like that! (Ukyo)
Akane-san… how could you do this to me?! (Ryoga) "You're gonna pay… Saotome!" Ryoga suddenly said.
Ranma looked around and said, "I thought I heard Ryoga."
"It's just the wind," Akane replied.
"You're right… let's go," Ranma said as they got up and went somewhere.
Ryoga and Ukyo got up. "What were you thinking?!" Ukyo said.
Ryoga looked down and said, "I lost control… gomen."
"It's okay," Ukyo said with a smile, "Let's go."
Ryoga nodded and they followed Ranma and Akane to a booth.
"Come! Make the bell ring by using this hammer!" The man near the booth said, "And you'll win a prize."
"Ranma… win me the prize," Akane said.
"Sure!" Ranma said as he rolled his sleeves and picked up the hammer. This is quite heavy.
"Just ring the bell and win a prize," the man said as he stepped aside.
Ranma raised the hammer high and said, "Here goes nothing!"
*Ring*
"Ranma! You did it!" Akane said.
"Here you go," Ranma said as he gave Akane a stuffed animal.
"Arigato! Where do you want to go?" Akane replied.
"At the temple," Ranma said as they walked sweetly.
"Ryoga-kun, let's go," Ukyo said but she didn't hear an answer.
"Ryoga-kun?" Ukyo said as she looked around, "Where are you? Ryoga-kun!"
Ukyo looked around and saw him at the booth where Akane and Ranma last went.
"Here goes!" Ryoga shouted as he hit the target.
*Ring*
"I got it! Yahoo!" Ryoga said as he jumped up and down.
Ukyo approached him and said, "Did you forget that we're on a mission here!"
Ryoga stopped jumping and said, "I forgot… let's go find them."
"I know where they went," Ukyo groaned, "You're lucky that they said out loud where they're going."
"Where?" Ryoga asked.
"At the temple," Ukyo said as he dragged Ryoga along with her.
"Why do you keep on dragging me?" Ryoga asked as he was dragged along.
"Baka! I don't want you to get lost," Ukyo replied, "You can't even go to the bathroom without getting lost."
They kept on arguing until they got to the temple.
"Sshh! The temple," Ukyo said as she placed her finger near her lips, "Show some respect."
"I know that," Ryoga said as they kneeled down near Akane and Ranma.
Kami-sama, please make Ran-chan love me… just for once. (Ukyo prayed as she looked at Ranma.)
Ukyo-san looks quite kawaii when she's not shouting… stop it Ryoga! Kami-sama, please give me courage to say to Akane-san what I feel. Please make her fall in love with me and not P-chan. Please give me a sense of direction. Please help me beat up Ranma…
… and please help Ukyo to find the man that is right for her. She's nice and must not be a wife to the evil Saotome Ranma… please hear my prayers. (Ryoga)
"Ryoga-kun!" Ukyo said, "Hurry up or we'll miss them."
Ryoga got up and looked at her. Kawaii… stop it! Stupid Ryoga!
"Your prayer is too long that it is already evening!" Ukyo continued, "We already lost them! But I think I know where to find them."
"And where do you suppose they would be," Ryoga replied as he walked together with Ukyo.
"At the lake," Ukyo said, "The fireworks look good there."
Finally… they arrived at the lake and Ukyo was right. They sat down near the tree.
"The moon looks funny," Ryoga said.
"It's a blue moon," Ukyo replied, "It comes once in every ten years." (I'm not sure)
"They sure look happy together," Ryoga said as he looked at Ranma and Akane.
Suddenly Akane and Ranma kissed and firworks appeared.
"I should have stay in the restaurant instead," Ukyo said with a bit of tears.
Why is it? I don't feel jealous or anything?! But I feel quite sorry for Ukyo-san. It seems that I love her more than Akane… but I'm not sure. My heart beats fast right now. "Don't be sad," Ryoga said as he placed his arm around Ukyo's shoulder and gave her a stuffed pig, "You can have this."
"Arigato… I have a lot of fun today," Ukayo said as she wipes her tears, "Look at the fireworks."
"Yes… they look as beautiful as you," Ryoga said. What am I saying?!
"Thanks," Ukyo replied as she rested her head on Ryoga's shoulder and Ryoga blushed as red as he can be.
"Anou… Ukyo-san," Ryoga weakly said.
"Nani?" Ukyo replied.
"I don't understand my feelings right now," Ryoga said as he became redder, "but I had a lot of fun with you today… and I want to say that… I… I… I…"
"You know," Ukyo interrupted and got up, "I feel strange too and Ryoga-kun…"
"Let me finish," Ryoga said, "My feelings for you have changed and I want to say that I like you."
As Ryoga looked at Ukyo she was asleep. "She must be tired," Ryoga said as he got up and carried her and approached Ranma and Akane.
"Anou… Ranma-kun," Ryoga said.
"Nani?" Ranma said as he turned back, "Oh it's you… what do you want?"
"Onegai… help me go to Ukyo-san's house," Ryoga said as he blushed slightly.
"Ranma… you should help Ryoga-kun," Akane said.
"Okay! But I'm doing this for Oot-chan," Ranma replied, "Let's go."
They walked and walked than Ranma asked, "Why are you carrying Oot-chan?"
"And why are you carrying her?" Akane added.
"Anou… it's like this," Ryoga said as he blushed," We were…"
Suddenly something on Ryoga's back moved. "Where am I?" Ukyo said half asleep.
Ryoga just became silent and began blushing.
"At Ryoga's back," Ranma carelessly said.
"Ryoga-kun," Ukyo said (Fully awake), "You didn't have to carry me."
"You were asleep," Ryoga quietly said.
Ukyo got off and said, "Gomenasai… I could walk home now… thank you but if you want… you can come with me and make you some pancakes."
Ryoga nodded.
"I'm a little hungry," Akane said.
"Sure! Why not," Ranma said.
They went to Ukyo's restaurant and Ukyo made three pancakes. Everyone was eating except for…
"Ryoga-kun, you haven't touched yours… is something the matter?" Ukyo asked.
"Iie, I'm okay," Ryoga said as he ate the pancake whole, "Better get going… ja!"
"It's late… why don't you stay here?" Ukyo suggested.
"I'm used to it. Better get going," Ryoga said as he hurriedly exited the restaurant.
"Ryoga-kun is acting strange," Akane whispered to Ranma.
"He's in love," Ranma whispered back, "that's why."
~~~Ryoga~~~
Why do I feel this way! I want to tell her what is in my heart! I promise I will come back and tell her someday! Ukyo-san, thank you for inviting me to spy on them… that's how I realised that you're a great person… I hope I can say this to her.
~~~Ukyo~~~
Ranma and Akane left the restaurant. Why do I feel I forgot something? (She thought while looking at the stuffed animal) But I really have a good time with him. Arigato… Ryoga-kun.
