King of wishful thinking by Go West
Ranma 1/2 by Takahashi Rumiko
written by Angel
yet another songfic by me, this one is my fav. though
-----------------------
(Nerima, night time)We watch as Ukyou gets ready for bed, she turns off the light and starts to think about everything that she's gone through in her life....)

(scene fades, music starts)

I don't need to fall your feet just cause you cut me to the bone
and I won't miss the way that you kiss me, we were never carved in stone

[We see shots pan by of chibi Ranma and Ukyou playing and having fun, we see Ukyou make okonomiyaki for Ranma and Genma and Ukyou's dad striking a deal and then Ukyou running after Genma and Ranma]

If I don't listen to the talk of the town
then maybe I can fool myself

[We see Ukyou crying at what the other girls are saying about her
and how she decides to forever be a boy and get revenge on Ranma]

I'll get over you I know I will, I'll pretend my ships not sinking
and I'll tell myself I'm over you cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

[The scene changes to Ukyou training by the sea and telling herself how she never really cared about Ranma. The scene changes to a shot of chibi Ukyou crying herself to sleep]

I refuse to give into my blues, thats not how it's going to be
and I'll deny the tears in my eyes, I don't want to let you see

[We see Ukyou now several years later trying to fit into her new role,
hanging with the guys, and even going on dates with other girls while her parents encourage the behavior.]

That you have made a hole in my heart,
and now I've got fool myself

[She goes into a park and is walking around enjoying the place when she
spys a young couple holding hands and she turns away with a tear in her eye.]

I'll get over you I know I will, I'll pretend my ships not sinking
and I'll tell myself I'm over you cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

[Once again Ukyou is by the sea training as hard as she can
often getting hurt, telling herself that she hates Ranma and we see her cry herself to sleep yet again]

I'll get over you I know I will, I'll pretend my ships not sinking
and I'll tell myself I'm over you cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

[Now we see as Ukyou decides to go and find Ranma, we watch as we
see them battle and her finding out that Ranma never knew about the deal or that she was even a girl, and then her heart warms to him when he calls her cute and she falls in love all over again]

If I don't' listen to the talk of the town then maybe I can fool myself

[The scene show's the school talking about Ukyou and how they are all behind Akane, and she once again goes to sleep crying]

I'll get over you I know I will, I'll pretend my ships not sinking
and I'll tell myself I'm over you cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

[We watch as she opens the Ucchan and tries to separate Akane and Ranma
through various schemes and even teaming up with Ryouga]

I'll get over you I know I will, you made a hole in my heart
my devotion'll cheer for you, I'll be the king of wishful thinking

[We see how Ranma just goes in to her shop to eat and then goes
after Akane and at the sad look in her eyes everytime she watches him leave
and yet she still helps him in his battles even if it's to get Akane back]

I'll get over you I know I will, I'll pretend my heart's still beating
cause I've got no more tears for you, I'm the king of wishful thinking

[The scene pans in on Ranma and Akane eating in the Ucchan and all three
of them enjoying a nice moment until Ranma and Akane get into a fight, after
which Akane hits Ranma and leaves and we see Ranma get up to go after Akane
then look back at Ukyou and then back at the door and shrug his shoulders and
goes back to spend time with Ukyou, that night we see Ukyou with a smile on her
face as she sleeps]
