DiScLaImEr: these characters aren't mine...u know, this disclaimer thing is REALLY starting to get on my nerves... lol ... but yeah so on with it...after a few notes from me...hehe


Okies...here I go... I am VERY sorry about the last chapter, I had to rush to write it and couldn't make it NEARLY as detailed as I would have liked it to be because my mom has been rushing me off of the computer because my room isn't clean...hehe... but yes...also in my AP Language class we have these vocabulary words that I find it easier for me to memorize if I can remember how I used it when I was writing. So if I use them and you don't know what they mean, I will try to always put a definition at the bottom okies?? Okay, now to get the story back on track and HOPEFULLY have a better chapter...and away we go!!


Ranma Stood looking in the mirror straightening the pants of his tuxedo. (This is so ridiculous; mom acts like I've never eating with the Tendous before. And WHY in the heck do I have to bring flowers? Maybe Kasumi wanted some decoration for the kitchen or something...) he stood there in thought for a second examining himself (I look like a penguin, but I guess better a penguin that is on time than I late one.) with that, he picked up the flowers off of the counter and exited his house.

At the Tendou residence

"GRR!!!!" Akane screamed in aggravation, "Where is the stupid food at? Mr. and Mrs. Saotome are going to be here at ANY moment and the food isn't even going to be ready!" She picked up a pan and drew back her arm to launch it, then she regained her composure, "Okay Akane, just calm down, everything will be okay." She went to her room and looked in her mirror. ::sighs:: She smiled sadly in the mirror as she thought about Ranma liking her dress. (I don't even know why I bother sometimes... the reason why he broke up with all of us is because he DOESN'T love any of us right? So why should I even force it? Because you love him you dummy...)

10 minutes later there was a honk outside. (That's odd; I thought they delivered by bicycle, oh well better hurry) She walked outside of the house and looked outside at the vehicle. "What the..." her voice trailed off as she saw the stretch limo parked outside of the gates. She turned around and locked the house. As she walked closer to the limo, a man stepped out of the back and proceeded to straighten his tux. (Oh my, his body is gorgeous, like he stepped straight out of a magazine and into my front yard, he looks like.... RANMA! WHAY IS HE DRESSED LIKE THAT?!? I was supposed to be the one shocking him not, not him me!... OH MY GOODNESS!!! Just stay cool Akane and everything will be okay, walk out to the limo and see what he wants...hey, where are his parents?) The limo driver than got out of the limo also.

"Excuse me sir, but if you would so kind as to get back in the vehicle it would greatly be appreciated." The driver said timidly.

"Why? I'm where I was supposed to be going now" Ranma said as he looked up from straightening his tuxedo and looked directly at the driver.

"I'm afraid you're mistaken. I was instructed to pick up a Mr. Ranma Saotome and a Ms. Akane Tendou and the take them both to Chez Moi. So if you would please get back in the limousine sir I would appreciate it."

At the mention of Akane's name was mentioned, Ranma's heart dropped. He knew Akane was standing behind him, but he wasn't sure if he was ready to face her yet; so he did as the driver instructed and got back into the limosine.

(OUR FAMILIES HAD SOME NERVE SETTING US UP LIKE THIS!! I CAN'T BEILIEVE IT!!! I should have known something was up when Kasumi said she was going to doctor Tofu's... How could I have been so stupid...) the emotion in her thoughts went from that of outrage to one of sadness...

"Umm, excuse me Miss, but are you Ms. Akane Tendou?" the driver interrupted her thoughts.

"Oh, yes, I am Akane Tendou. I've heard you talk to Ranma so I won't put up a fuss and ask why I should get in." Akane then walked towards the vehicle and got in.

When she got in the vehicle and sat down Ranma was sitting there looking out of the window opposite of the door she entered. (The nerve of him too!! Here I got getting all dressed up and he can't even acknowledge the fact that I got dressed up! Well fine then, if that's how he wants it, that's how he'll get it!) The ride there was a long silent one.

The pulled up outside of the restraunt that the entrance to was on Ranma's side. Ranma opened his door and got out and waited for Akane to get out. He reached inside for Akane's hand. (Come on Ranma, remember, everything is going to be okay. What!? She actually took me hand. I didn't even get to see what that stubborn tomboy was wearing she probably looks like an...) Ranma was in aw as Akane stepped out of the limousine. (...Like an... angel...)

Akane was wearing a red halter-top dress that was embroidered with dark red flowers that went down to the bottom of her floor length dress. The dress was sewn so that it fit her curves; bigger in the chest, the dress withdrew at her waist then gradually flared out to the floor. The dress looked as though it were sewn specifically for her. She had on small gold hoop earrings with a small amber bead that went with a thin gold chain with a matching amber bead on it at the end.

Akane closed the door and went to talk to the driver.

(She...She... why didn't she ever dress like that when we were engaged...) A very upset Akane interrupted his thoughts.

"Well Ranma, are we going in or are you just going to stand there in a trans?"

"Uh, yeah, I'm ready" (Now what do I do? Let me think, what have I seen in the movies.................................OH YEAH!!!!)

Ranma Held out his arm for Akane to put hers in. Akane was startled by the sudden politeness that Ranma was expressing. She went to put her arm out and around his when her hand hit something solid but soft. She looked over to see what it was.

"Shampoo, what are you doing here?" Ranma said as a very clingy shampoo grabbed onto his arm.

"So I see that I wasn't the only one that you brought along on this little DATE huh RANMA!?" Akane's face was winning the battle with her dress over which could be more red.

"Akane, you know I didn't ask shampoo to be here and that I didn't set up this little DATE either! I thought me and my family were going over to your house to eat that's ALL! I didn't ask for this." Ranma said back getting a little irritated at the fact that Akane, after all this time, was STILL jumping to conclusions.

Akane pulled out her mallet and drew it over her head to hit Ranma, and possibly the girl hanging on his arm when she heard shampoo say,

"Well then, Shampoo guess airen no want cure to curse then..."

"Shampoo i said... get...off" Ranma froze. Akane's mallet dropped. Both Akane and Ranma looked as though they had seen a ghost.

"A-A A cure to my curse?" Ranma asked, his voice trembling.


A/N hehe!!! Cliffhanger!! Lol...sorry, that was something I thought I would add in there. Now you have to think, is it just another plan for Shampoo to get Ranma, or it legitimate this time? Well, Read and Review PLEASE...hehe.... and tell me what you think okies?
