Chapter 3: Ryoga Has No Idea

What happened last time

Ranma looked at her some more and he realized what he was doing, "Gack!" Ranma says, "What am I doing? I mean, I know she's cute, and Nabiki was somewhat right. I do like Akane, but I don't know. How could Nabiki think that I lo..lov..love Akane?" Ranma ponders, "She's cute, sweet, sensitive, nice…", Ranma pauses, "Oh gosh, I didn't even realize what I just said. Oh no, I DO love Akane", Ranma blushes, "But…looks at Akane does she love me back?"

Akane's head pops up, her eyes wide, with shock, and she sees Ranma…

Now the conclusion

A guy with black hair and a yellow and black bandana trudged threw the streets of Nerima until he came upon a restaurant.

"Finally, I've reached the home of Akane Tendo", He said.

He walked into the restaurant, and saw only a few people. He walked up to the counter and a young girl, dressed as a guy, approached him.

"Hello there! I'm Ukyo, what would your order be?" She looked closer at the guy and saw that it was Ryoga, "Ohh! Hello Ryoga! Where have you been lately?"

Ryoga looked up at her, "Ohh, Ukyo, I thought this was the home of Akane Tendo"

Ukyo looked at him for a moment, then she laughed.

"What are you laughing about?" Ryoga asked.

"Well, it's just funny! This is a restaurant. Didn't you read the sign outside?" She asked.

"Sign? What sign?" He responded.

"The one above the door, silly", Ukyo blushed.

"Ohh, that one, yeah I read it", Ryoga said, tiredly.

"Well!" Ukyo exclaimed, "Here, lunch on me k?"

Ryoga saw this and thought, 'She's nice.'

"Thank you," He said with a big smile that drove Ukyo wild.

"Sure anytime" Ukyo turned around. She didn't want him to see the redness of her face.

Ukyo walked into the back room while Ryoga ate.

Back at the Tendo's

Ranma's face turned as red as a tomato, no redder.

"Uhh, 'kane…" Ranma mumbled out quietly.

"What are you doing in my room?" She asked, oblivious to what Ranma had just confessed, or was she?

'Whew, she didn't hear me' Ranma thought, "Ohh, I just wanted to see if you…" Ranma paused, "You want to go out for ice cream with me?"

Akane blinked, "Ice cream? With you? Right now?"

"Yeah" Ranma looked away.

"I'd love to, but I have to change" Akane replied.

"Okay, I'll be downstairs" Ranma said as he left her room.

At Ukyo's

"Hey Ryoga", Ukyo said quietly as she walked slowly up to Ryoga.

"Yeah?" Ryoga replied.

"Do you have anywhere to stay while you're in town?" Ukyo shyly asked.

"Well, now that you mention it, No, I don't" Ryoga told her as he finished his meal.

"Umm…In that case, I have a guest room, if you wanna borrow it?" Ukyo looked at Ryoga.

"That'd be great. Thanks" Ryoga said happily and smiled that smile.

"Okay" Ukyo said as she went to serve other customers.

Ryoga thought about something, 'Why did she ask me to stay? Oh, no, does she?" Ryoga nearly choked on his drink.

Ukyo looked over to see what Ryoga was doing, but he was still sitting there, finishing off his green tea. Ukyo returned to serving her customers.

Ryoga wondered what Ranma was doing…

At the Tendo's, In the living room

Ranma waited. He waited and waited. He looked at his watch and it had only been 5 minutes.

"Oh great", Ranma said, "Time's going slow"

Ranma walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. There it was. His precious Jello. For once, no one had eaten it. He took it out and sat it on the counter. He got a spoon and started eating his Jello.

'Ohh Yummy' Ranma thought.

Akane came downstairs and saw Ranma eating his Jello and he was obviously happy about it. Akane turned around and thought

'"Oh gosh, I didn't even realize what I just said. Oh no, I DO love Akane", Ranma blushes, "But…looks at Akane does she love me back?"

'Why'd he say all that?' Akane thought, "I do Love Ranma back, but, I cannot tell him" She said allowed as Ranma passed right by her.

"What did you say Akane?" Ranma asked, stunned, as the spoon fell out of his mouth and hit the floor…
