Disclaimer: When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dreams, no request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do
(Fate is kind, she brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing)
Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and sees you thru
When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true
Alas, I still don't own Ranma ½.
Letting the Truth Out
Ranma's Bright Idea #1
Ranma had thought long and hard about it, and had finally come up with a plan. It seemed like a good one, too. He would fight Ryoga, and beat him (like always), and force him to stop being p-chan, and stay away from Akane. Yes, it was a good plan. Yet something was bothering him, and he wasn't quite sure what. Well, it must've been about something else. He'd worry about it later. Now, to find Ryoga...
He pondered how to find the Lost Boy as he walked along a fence on the far side of Nerima from the Tendo dojo. He then nearly fell off the fence, when he heard the familiar cry of "Where on Earth am I now?", which he estimated came from about a block away. Moments later, he rounded a corner, to see his target reading a street sign. For a second, he wondered why Ryoga would even bother looking at street signs, since it didn't seem to help in the least. However, he put this aside for later consideration, as he proceeded with his plan.
"Hibiki Ryoga, prepare to die!" Ranma cried as he leaped at the unaware lost boy. Ryoga started to turn, too slowly to block, but Ranma failed to follow through with his attack, and simply landed next to Ryoga. "Why in the world did I just yell that?" he mused, puzzled. Ryoga chuckled. "Now you know how I feel." after a moment, he continued, "I have no idea why. It just... feels right, somehow." he shrugged.
Right then, in a rare burst of insight, Ranma realized what was bothering him. This was a really, really dumb idea. It was disrespectful to Akane, treating her like property, and not considering her feelings, and wasn't a long-term solution to the problem. Furthermore, it was bullying to beat him to keep him away from Akane. In fact, he noticed a disturbing similarity between this idea, and the stupid ideas Kuno came up with. A moment later, he realized that this was not limited to the psuedo-samaurai; it was very similar to the sorts of plans which were come up with by the amazons, Ryoga, Gosunkugi... and, hmmm...
However, he still hadn't had a good practice bout today. "So, Ryoga, how 'bout a sparring session?" he asked, casually. "I was hoping you'd say that." Ryoga replied, cracking his knuckles. "Ranma! Because of you, I've seen hell!" he cried, at he leaped at Ranma. Ranma almost started to laugh, but then something occurred to him. "Seen hell? You sleep in Akane's bed, you pig!" he yelled, lunging at the leaping lost boy.
This didn't go unnoticed by the hapless Ryoga. 'He seems really upset about that... uh-oh... he couldn't have decided that he has feelings for her? Crap!' he thought. "Ranma! You won't steal Akane from me!" he yelled. "Shi Shi Hokodan!" he cried, firing his trademark depression-based blast. Ranma simply twisted out of the way in midair. "She isn't 'yours' to begin with, pig-boy!" he replied angrily, with a round kick to his opponent's back, which sent him into the pavement below.
