"Akane, would you like to go shopping with me?" Kasumi asked holding a

shopping basket.

"Okay, I did wanted to pick up a little something anyway.........."Akane replied

with a carefree smile.

"Oh? What you going to buy?"

"I want to get the famous 'Lavender' CD by Ranma." Akane said with a wink.

"Okay then, let's go then." Kasumi said putting her slippers and Akane's neatly

in the cupboard.

"Ranma RIGHT now is BUSY! So call back later." Kuno yelled and slam his

cell phone down. [Brrring.........Brrring........] "What!" He shouted to the reciever.

"Kuno you know..........by your tone people will NOT cooperate with what you

say." Ranma said while he is sweating practicing dance moves for his upcoming

concert.

"Shut up!"

"Hey, it's only the truth........" Ranma said slightly chucking. "Yo Manager, I'm

gonna go outside. I'm done practicing."

"Wait first........." Kuno said to the phone. "Where are you going?" He shouted.

However Ranma already left. 'Always like this.....why do I even bother. At least

he has a cell phone......WHICH he takes forever to pick up!' He turn his attention

back to the phone. "Sorry for the pause............WHAT! RANMA'S

HAIRDRESSER CAN'T MAKE IT!"

"Ranma concert.............should I buy tickets to go?" Ryoga scratched his head.

"O...kay, I'm gonna buy them...." Ryoga head for the ticket booth finding it packed

with Ranma fans. 'Akane would be so happy.' He thought. 'Oh no! did I bring

enough money?' He digged though his pockets. "Drat! don't have enough........"

Ryoga turned to the girl next to him, "Can you save my spot in line?"

"Okay."the girl replied and Ryoga ran off.

====================

20 minutes later........................

"Oh no.........tickets sold out! How can this be?" Ryoga looked at the money

he drew out of his savings account. 'Arrgh.........all for nothing......'

"You boy, here."

"Huh?" Ryoga turned around and found an old guy sitting near the sold out booths.

"Do you want something?" He asked.

"You want tickets?" Ryoga nod. "Okay, I'll sell them for 2000 yen each."

"2000 YEN! You must be crazy, that's outragious!" Ryoga yelled.

"Well.......do you want 'em or not........." the old man said. "The name's Happosai

by the way."

"Happosai.......well.......I don't know.....should I buy them?" Ryoga thought.

'For Akane's sake!'

'I'll give the count to three, he'll buy 'em......one........two......thr........' Happosai

thought.

"Okay, I'll buy two." Ryoga said breaking the mental count and fishing out

4000 yen.

"Sold! No refunds." the old guy said with a hidden smirk. He took the money

gave the ticket to Ryoga and ran off. Ryoga took the ticket and looked. There

was only one ticket.

"HEY YOU CREEP! CHEATER! GIVE ME BACK 2000 YEN!" however

Happosai was gone. "Argh! that cheat!" Ryoga gritted his fangs.

"Um......... Kasumi, do you mind if I go off right now?"Akane asked.

"Alright, just be back before dinner time."Kasumi said.

"Thanks sis." Akane gave Kasumi a mini hug. "Bye."

"See you later." Kasumi waved.

'Is the famous Ranma the same Ranma that I know?' Akane thought heading

towards the CD store. In the store she saw Shampoo and Kodachi. 'Guess

they're fanatics,too.' Akane took the CD the the cashier and purchased it. She

head outside and saw Shampoo and Kodachi outside seemingly waiting for her.

"So, Akane interested in 'Ranma' huh?" Shampoo said in her prideful position.

"You aren't worthy to be one of his fans."Kodachi snorted. They walked away.

"....."Akane stood there no knowing what to say.

"He's here again!" squealed Cashier #1.

"So hunky.....I would die if he asked me out." sighed Cashier #2.

"Girls, this is no way to behave in a bookstore." Kasumi said but holding a smile

that she can't hide from her eyes.

"Ka-su-miiiiiiiiii, you are so lucky! To have such a cute guy after you, wow......

it's a dream come true!" Cashier #1 grabbed Kasumi's hand. "How was your

date?"

"Date?"

"Come on! You know when he asked you out a couple days ago......ya know.."

Cashier #2 chimed in.

"Uh....."

"Come on Kasumi, every last detail." the cashiers said in unison with their hands

clapped together and watery hopeful eyes.

"It's not a date....." Kasumi replied twisting her finger and blushed when Tofu

stole a glance.

"NOT A DATE!" the cashiers jumped back.

"He asked you out and it's not a date?" Cashier #2 asked.

"Then what is it? Hm?" Cashier #1 peered at Kasumi.

"Um.....it's called 'Spending time together'." Kasumi scratched her head.

'If that's not a date then what is?' the cashiers thought. "Oh! Here he comes!

Hide." the cashiers whispered and disappeared.

"Hello...um....I'll like to buy this book." Tofu said to Kasumi slightly blushing.

"Okay." Kasumi said and looked at the title. *Shall We Watch the Stars

Together Tonight* "Oh my." Kasumi placed a hand to her mouth.

"Kasumi.....go........"

"Huh?" Kasumi looked around and saw the cashiers underneath her.

"Go with him." they giggled whispering. Kasumi looked back at Tofu who is

now figeting.

"That'll be $10.95 plus tax." Kasumi said to Tofu not noticing that the cashiers

fell.

"Arghhhh!" They got up pull Tofu's hand and Kasumi's together and pushed

them outside.

"Have fun." Cashier #1 waved.

"We'll manage the store again." Cashier #2 smiled sweetly.

"But-but...."Kasumi began.

"No 'buts' you obviously want to go badly." Cashier #1 said nodding with her

eyes closed.

"But...."

"Don't worry just have fun." Cashier #2 waved.

"Okay....thanks guys......you're the best!" Kasumi said blushing and smiling.

"Yup! We sure are." the cashiers nodded. Kasumi and Tofu had sweatdrops.

"Just go."

"Bye."Kasumi waved.

"Nice friends you have." Tofu said witha chuckled. "Want to eat Korean

today?"

"Thank you." Kasumi said hugging on him as she placed her helmet on and rode

off with Tofu in his motorcycle.

"Awww.....man....." Akari whined.

"What's the matter?" Akane ask trimming some Ylang Ylang flowers. "There!"

"Ranma concert tickets are sold out as fast as they came." Akari looked down.

"That's okay, I didn't buy any, too." Akane patted Akari's shoulder.

"Akane!"

"Yes?" Akane turned around to find Ryoga panting.

"I-I-bought-this for you..."Ryoga said handing Akane a sheet of paper.

"Wow! that's a ticket to the concert." Akari squealed. Suddenly Akari looked

down. "It's not for me........go to the concert Akane. It could be your Ranma."

"I can't go. Did I told you guys yet! This Ranma is the Ranma, the one from

elementary school." Akane said.

"Hold a sec. You don't want to go? And yet that's your classmate from almost

a century ago." Akari said scrating her head.

"Yup!"

"Don't you want to see him?"

"It's okay. He made a promise to me that he'll come to see me on my twentith

birthday." Akane smiled. "You wanted to go so you should go."

"No way and give up a chance for my best friend to see the Ranma? Not

happening." Akari shook her head. "Besides Ryoga wanted to to take you out."

"Can you go?" Ryoga ask. Akane looked at Akari then Ryoga then to the ticket.

"Okay....."

"YAHOO~!" Ryoga yelled held Akari hand and Akane's laughing.

'I wish you good luck, Akane.' Akari thought as she smiled, not caring as much

about the chance she gave up.
