"Wait a minute honey! Oh my goodness! How could we have forgotten!? Our plane leaves tomorrow morning!" Vanessa exclaimed slapping her forehead.
"Oh crap..." Andrew sat on the bed and placed his head in his hands in deep thought, "Well we will just have o give both of them our numbers in America so that we are there for them to talk to, and from what you have said about Ranma and what I have heard from Akane, tomorrow they should be by themselves anyway, right?"
"Mmm hmm" Vanessa mumbled as she started searching through a drawer for something.
"Watcha lookin for?" Andrew asked as he lifted his head from his hands.
"What do you think I'm looking for? Pencil and paper silly, how can we give them our numbers if we never write it down" Vanessa said then turned around and smiled at her fiancé.
Early morning the Next Day
"Akane, can you come here for a moment?" Kasumi called from down stairs.
Akane slowly walked down the stairs. Last night the news had been broken to her that Ranma, Nadoka, and Genma were all coming over for dinner. She had spent all night in her bed thinking about how the next night would proceed. How was she supposed to act or talk towards her ex fiancé?
"Yes Kasumi?" Akane said as she walked into the kitchen and leaned against the doorframe.
"I'm going over to doctor Tofu's today to discuss some of the books I have borrowed from him, the afterwards we are going to a medical science fair. I've ordered dinner for everyone, so I'm going to leave you in charge of paying the person who delivers it. Is that okay?" Kasumi said with as she picked up her books and handed Akane the money.
"Uh, sure!" Akane replied as she thought to herself (Oh great, now there is one less person here to take my mind off of Ranma... Oh well, at least I'll have the rest of them here).
Kasumi interrupted Akane's thoughts, "And by the way, I found this on the door this morning, but it was really early and I didn't want to bother you." She handed Akane the note, "Okay then, well I'm off!" Kasumi then walked gracefully out of the house as she left Akane with the letter in her hand.
It read
"Dear Akane,
I'm so sorry to have forgotten to tell you, but my plane left this morning. Don't think that I'm abandoning you, because I'm not really, it's just time that I went home to America. My number is 555-555-2148 in America, so if ever you need anything or someone to talk to just call me. Best Wishes and good luck with Ranma.
Your friend,
Andrew"
P.S. My e-mail address is
(Oh no!! he left! This is just GREAT! Well, at least he gave me his number and e-mail address so I can call him and tell him what happens tonight. ::sighs:: Well I better get dressed.) "AH HA!!" Akane screamed as she slammed one fist into the other "That's it!" (I'll MAKE him want me back! Wait till he sees what I'm going to wear! And he thought he was shocked when he saw me before I went out to karaoke!) She then ran up the stairs to find another note on her bed. "My God, who's it from this time" She said half way annoyed.
"Akane,
Sorry I won't be here for dinner tonight, I'm spending the night at a friend's house. Kasumi already knows so she didn't order me dinner so don't worry about having extra food left. But she did still give you the extra money, so why don't you go buy you go buy something for yourself a nice formal dress or something with the money since you don't really have anything like that.
-Nabiki"
(Okay, now is her not being here a good or bad thing? I guess it could be good, even though I was going to ask to borrow one of her dresses, but instead guess I'll just go buy one) With that she yelled, "DAD! I'm going out to the mall! I'll be back around three!" and she left the Tendou residence.
Meanwhile at Ranma's house
"Ranma, breakfast is ready!" Nadoka said as she walked outside to see her son finishing his katas.
"Thanks mom I'll be right there." Ranma replied as Nadoka turned and walked back inside the house and sat next to her husband, whispering something in his ear.
Ranma finished his morning exercises and sat in the place across from his mother and father.
"Ranma muh boy," Genma said, his mouth half full with rice, "Dinner at the Tendou's tonight is going to be formal, so your mother and I took the liberty of going and getting you a tux. We figured it would come in handy one day. Also, here is some money for when you go to the Tendou's, it is for you to give Soun to show him some gratitude for being so hospitable towards us these past couple of years"
"Gesh pop, what got into you talking all 'sophisticated' and stuff?" Ranma said half laughing at how ridiculous his father sounded.
"Now Ranma," Nadoka intervened, "There is no reason to make fun of your father for cleaning up his language. While on the road he must have been slacking, because before, he would ALWAYS talk like this. So I'm sure we'll all become accustomed to his new use of language."
There was silence at the table.
"Well, we must be off, I'm sorry Ranma, but tonight you will only be having dinner at the Tendou's without us, I have a shoji tournament to go to with your father. Speaking of which, we must be going now so that we are not late. Also, don't skip our on dinner because we aren't going, we will call the Tendou's to make sure you are there. So you have the money to give to Soun, and here, this letter was on the door earlier for you, have a nice time at dinner tonight, bye!" All the while she was talking she was rapidly cleaning up and ended her speech pulling an overweight panda out of the dinning area.
The letter said,
"Dear Ranma,
I'm terribly sorry. I know I said that I would be there when you first went to see Akane again, but I had totally forgotten that my plane was leaving this morning. Don't worry though, I'm sure you'll be fine by yourself; after all, you are the great Ranma Saotome, am I right? Well, here is my number in America 555-555-2148. Call me after tonight so I can see how everything goes, okay?
Your friend
Vanessa"
(OH MY GOD! She's not gonna be here! This is gonna be bad! After what I saw in the park last night this whole dinner is probably to announce Akane's engagement to that other man... man, this sucks REALLY bad. Oh well, I guess I'll just go take a nap until tonight. And at least it won't just be Akane and me; the rest of her family will be there too, just like old time...right?
Mid Afternoon
"I'm home! Dad are you here?" She looked around to find a note on the table; she set her bags down and picked up the note.
It read,
"My Dear Daughters,
I have gone to a shoji tournament. Please do not wait for me, I will be back tomorrow morning.
Love,
Your Daddy"
"MAN!!! Can't ANYONE stay here when we are ALL supposed to have nice dinner!" ::sighs:: "Oh well, I guess it will just be the Saotome's and I, but even though, I had better go get dressed." She stood and grabbed her bags. (This time Ranma, you will NOT even be able to THINK of calling me a tomboy). With that she snickered and went upstairs to take a bath to prepare for the evening.
A/N Sorry you guys!!!
