At night......Concert ~

Ranma is at a chair with a guitar and a sheet of paper. Kuno is behind him chatting

about Ranma's music and within a hour he'll be performing to millions.

"Ranma, do you like Coca Cola or Pepsi better. This wealthy fan wants to know."

"Kuno, leave me alone. Can't you see that I'm busy?" Ranma toss his head to his

hairdresser.

"Oh, by the way how is your music coming along." Kuno said snatching the notes

from Ranma. "Let the servants do this." He said tossing the papers back to Ranma.

"Look, Kuno, leave me alone. Give me some privacy and don't bother me!"

"Always like this, you are a star now, not one of those pub waiters........." Kuno

was cut off when Ranma stood up. Ranma toss his notes down hard. Kuno

jumped. "Hey, hey, hey........ok,ok,ok.....I won't bother you. Continue."

"Just forget it." Ranma said going out the door entering the stage. He gripped his

blue dust lavender bottle and walk where millions await for him.

Outside.....entering to the concert..........

"Akane go line up. I'll wait outside for you. You don't want to miss your chance

to see Ranma do you?" Ryoga gave Akane a little push to the enormous crowd

at the entrance pushing and shoving to get in.

"Aren't you coming with me?" Akane asked holding her ticket that Ryoga gave

her the other day.

"Um....I can't." Ryoga replied with his head down.

"Why is that?" Akane peered into Ryoga's eyes.

"There's only one ticket."

"What! How can this be? I thought you had one too." Akane yelled surprised.

"What's the point of going to the concert if you can't come." She placed the

ticket into Ryoga's hands."You should go, after all, you paid for the ticket."

'4000 yen...' Ryoga thought. He gave the ticket back to Akane. "I bought this

for you. Besides, don't you want to see Ranma?"

"Not without you. It's not right this way. Why didn't you tell me earlier that

you only had one ticket?" Akane sighed. "We came here for nothing."

"No we didn't. Today's your chance to see Ranma." Ryoga patted her back.

"Look, Akane, I'll try to get in, okay?"

"How are you suppose to do that?" Akane ask looking very curious. Ryoga

pointed to the crowd of people.

"There are so many people there. And also a lot of people are pushing are push-

ing and shoving." Ryoga paused.

"What does that have to do with you going in......Oh my god! Don't tell me that you

are........" Akane clapped her hand to her mouth.

"Yup! I'm going into the crowd and blend in so hopefully they'll think that I had

gave my ticket already." Ryoga smiled and showed his fangs.

"What happens if they caught you? What are you going to do?" Akane wrinkled

her brows worriedly.

"Well........I guess I'll have to find out. Ryoga said giving Akane a thumb up sign

and headed towards the line.

"Please place your tickets here." Guard #1 said. Akane and some other girls

jammed their tickets in the box. As Ryoga came, he duck behind some girls and

walk. As soon as the girls enter into the building, he walked with Akane putting

his arm around her. As they head towards the door, Guard #2 stopped them.

"Whare's your ticket?" Guard #2 asked putting his arm in front of Ryoga.

"The girl can go but where's your ticket?"

"Didn't I put my ticket in already?" Ryoga said with a bit of hesitation.

"No you didn't." Guard #2 said. "If you don't have a ticket, leave." Ryoga walked

back and moved away. Akane ran towards him.

"If you are not going, I'm not going too." Akane told Ryoga firmly.

"I'll stand outside with you."

"But........"Ryoga stopped because he knew Akane won't budge.

"Are you coming or not?" the guards ask.

"No....." Ryoga replied. Akane stood there staring at the exit.

'I'll wait for Ranma to come out......' she thought.

_______________________

During the concert~

"YAAAYYYY!!!!! RANMA! RANMA! YOU GO!" the crowd cheered as

Ranma enter the stage with exploding fireworks. The crowd cheer and scream

energeticly. Outside, Akane stood staring at the door. It began to rain hard.

"Akane wait for me." Ryoga said running off.

'Ranma, I hope I can see you......'Akane thought as the rain poured on her and

streaked her face like tears of sadness. Ryoga returned with an umbrella.

"Here you go Akane." Akane didn't budge. Ryoga took off his jacket and put it

on Akane. He picked up the umbrella and held it over Akane. Minutes to hours

passed and the crowd cheered inside and th rain poured on top of Akane and

Ryoga outside.

After the concert~

Ranma left the stage, into the hallway he went, his fans were there with security

guards restraining them.

"May I have your autograph?"

"This is for you."

"Sign my CD.........."

Ranma looked at them then walked away. Among the crowd was Shampoo

and Kodachi.

"Did you see that! Ranma look at me." Shampoo squealed.

"No! He looked at me...." Kodachi yelled. Then they looked at each other

with lightning bolts in their eyes.

"Hmph!" They crossed their arms and stood back to back.

"Fans, over here. Listen to me." Kuno said waving his hand, "As his manager,

I take over. You may all leave your presents in this room and Ranma will

recieve them. After you drop the presents off, you may all leave."

"Aw............." The girls all whined. Shampoo and Kodachi whined the loudest.

Ryoga poked his head in and saw the fans and thought that now is the best time

for Akane to see Ranma.

"Akane! You can see Ranma now." Ryoga said running to her. He pulled her in.

The fans had left except Shampoo and Kodachi who were being pulled out by

five guards. Mousse was outside yelling to Shampoo. Shampoo was yelling to

see Ranma in person. Akane and Ryoga sweatdropped when Mousse had to

drag Shampoo to his car and call a cab for Kodachi.

"How am I supposed to find Ranma here?" Akane asked holding her lavender

bottle to her chest.

"In here." Ryoga said as they walk down the hallway.

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

"Cheers!" Kuno said as they raised their glasses of shampane up. Ranma and the

staff drank.

"I'll like to thank Ranma and the staff for this PERFECT performance." Kuno

said pouring more shampane to the glasses. Everyone clapped. Then the staff

left to clean up. "Good job Ranma."

"Yeah....." Ranma left and a minute later, Ryoga and Akane came in.

"Hello?" Ryoga asked looking at Kuno.

"Oh hello, why are you here?" Kuno asked looking rather disgusted at them.

"My friend Akane would like to see Ranma." Ryoga explained pointing to Akane.

"Our Ranma is tired now and no fans would be able to see him." Kuno said.

"Um.....we aren't fans exactly. My friend and I came to see Ranma. I'm his

childhood friend." Akane said gripping her bottle in her hand.

"I'm sorry but no. Like Ranma still can remember a childhood friend. That's

years ago. I can't even remember my high school teacher!"

"You've got to PLEASE!" Ryoga said gripping Kuno's collar.

"SECURITY!" Kuno yelled. "Get these ingrates out of here!" Kuno yelled

straightning his shirt.

"Please.....give Ranma this." Akane said giving her pink dust lavender bottle to

Kuno."When he sees this, he'll know." Kuno took the bottle as the guard push

them out. Exactly as their backs were turned, Ranma came back.

"Huh?" was what came out from his mouth and he walked into the room.

"Ewww......disgusting." Kuno said and threw the bottle in the garbage can.

Ranma came in.

"What's going on?" Ranma asked pointing his finger outside where Akane and

Ryoga were pushed out.

"Just crazy fans." Kuno replied. "Nothing for you to worry about. Let's go."

-------------------------------

Outside~

"I'm going to wait for Ranma here. I'm sure that he'll come when he sees the

bottle." Akane said. The raining hadn't crease at all.

"I'll wait with you, too." Ryoga said holding the umbrella.

------------------------------

3 hours passed~

"Why hasn't Ranma came out yet?" Ryoga asked.

"He'll come." Akane said.

_______________________

In the car~

"Kuno! Where's the music notes that I left in the studio when I perform?" Ranma

asked anxiously.

"I don't know."

"We have to go back! NOW!" Ranma yelled. "Turn back."

"You can always create another song." Kuno said insensitively.

"Turn back or I'm going back." Ranma said banging on the window.

"All, all right. Head back." Kuno said to the driver.

______________________

In the studio~

"It's gone......damn!" Ranma bit his lip and kicked the empty garbage cans.

"The janitor probably empty them out by now. The pile should be outside....."

Kuno said. Ranma rushed out. He digged through the paper and boxes in the

garbage pile. Suddenly he picked up a pink dust lavender bottle.

"How did this get here?" Ranma asked mesmerized by it.

"A fan dropped it off........I think her name was Akane or something." Kuno

said scratching his head. Ranma rushed off towards the exit. "Hey wait!"

'Akane, you came here?' Ranma thought as he pushed open the door into the

rain he walked.

"Akane?" Ranma asked but no one was there. Ranma suddenly looked down

and saw an umbrella laying alone in the rain. "You were waiting here for me all

this time..........." Ranma whispered.

"Come on Akane, lets go. It's late. That jerk Ranma didn't show up." Ryoga

kicked the engine if his motorcycle. "Hop on Akane." Ranma stood at the

exit holding Akane's pink dust lavender bottle. Akane turned her head towards

the exit that she stood for so long. Exactly at the moment, a car intercepted them.

Akane turned backed towards the road.

"I'm sorry Akane, how much I would like to see you............"Ranma whispered

as the rain continues to fall.
(Too bad the car intercepted them otherwise they would have seen each other.)
