Disclaimer: No, I don't own Ranma ½.

It was bright and sunny that day. Ranma was walking behind Akane, watching in stunned silence. Who knew that a five year old could have so much ENERGY! It was actually a little scary. Ally was bouncing up and down on her toes, alternating asking question between Akane, Kyle, and Justin. Akane and Kyle humored her, but Justin generally replied with "I really wish I wasn't here." And then Ally would begin to pout and kick him in the shin. Hard. That kid had the brute strength of Akane, or Akane at age five anyway. Eventually, Ally got bored and hopped over to him.

"Hi, I'm Ally. You're Ranma right? Anyway, I've got a few questions. Why do you live with Akane? Are you going to marryher?Whydoyoualwayswearthesameshirt?Whydoyouhaveabraidthatseemskindagirlyforaboybuti'mnotsayingyou'regirlyi'mjustsayingthatit'skindafunnyyouknowandanywaywhoreallycaresifitsgirlyipersonallylikebraidsevenifmeanlittleboyspullonthembutthenipullontheirearsandiftheteachercatchesmeijustsaytheystarteditandputonmycutepuppydogpoutandiusuallygetawaywithitbutithinkboysarereallyannoyingandididn'tmeanthatasaninsultitsjustastatementandIactuallythinkyourekindoffuneventhoughyoudon'tsayanything." Ally said this all in one breath, with increasing speed, and Ranma feared that, had she gone on any longer, she would have suffocated herself. Akane, fortunately, came to Ranma's rescue.
"Ally, come on sweet heart, take a breath! Look! We're almost there!" This information sent Ally into a raging fit of excitement, and she began squealing, giggling, and screaming, when she grew tired of the noise the first two actions made. Though this drew many long stares from people on the streets, the five year old seemed oblivious. When the amusement park really was in sight, the girl grew even more excited, if possible. Ranma stood a few feet from her, for fear she would hyperventilate and explode. Yes, a strange idea, but kami! What energy! Ranma leaned over and whispered to Akane.

"Is she always like this?" Akane laughed.

"Usually. Don't worry, it's healthy to have such energy at her age."

"I don't think I've ever met a kid with that much energy." Akane decided to change the subject.

"So… what do you want to do when we get there?"

Ranma looked surprised. "Don't we have to take care of the kid?"

"Not this time. See, we all take turns on these amusement park trips. I stayed with Ally last time, so this time it's Justin's turn."

"Oh, I see. Umm, I dunno, grab a bite to eat and hit some rides?"

"Sounds good to me!"

When the group finally entered the amusement park, Ally began pulling on Justin's hand.
"Come on Justin! I wanna ride the swings andthenmaybewecouldgetasnowconeIlovesnowconesdidIevertellyouthatcuzIreallydoandthemaybewecouldridetheteacupsandspinaroundandaroundandaroundandaroundandaroundandaroundandaroundandarounduntilwepuke!Doesn'tthatsoundlikefunJustin?"

Justin glared at Akane and Kyle.

"Hey! It was your idea to take turns! 'So we won't all have to waste a day of freedom and fun'! Weren't those your exact words?"

Justin continued to glare.
"Yeah, but that was when my look of the month was prep and I was an idiot."

Akane stuck her tongue out at him. "Took the words right out of my mouth!" Then she waved. "See ya! Try not to kill anyone!"

Ranma just watched Ally literally drag Justin to the nearest ride.
"So… she's really always like that?"

Kyle looked at him with a 'What do you think you brainless dolt?' look. "Yeah."

Ranma's annoyance/anger sprouted at that moment.

"I was just asking!"

Kyle looked equally annoyed.

"It was a stupid question!"

"How ya figure?"

"BECAUSE IF SHE WASN'T ALWAYS LIKE THAT, WOULDN"T WE BE ACTING LIKE YOU? SURPRISED?"

"WELL, MAYBE I JUST THOUGHT-"

"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP!" Akane bellowed.

The two stopped immediately. Akane sighed and straightened her shirt.

"That's better. Why can't you two get along, just for today?"

The two boys glared at each other.

"He started it!"
"Oh, for heavens sake! I thought we were past all this! Fine! We're finishing this right now!"

Akane dragged the two over by their ears and sat them down.
"Now! What's your problem with one another?"

Kyle and Ranma looked at each other, surprised.
"I don't have a problem with him," they said in unison.

Akane facefaulted.

"THEN WHY DO YOU ARGUE?"

Kyle shrugged. "Gotta keep him on his toes." He winked at her. "If he's gonna date my best friend, he's gotta behave."
Ranma glared at Kyle, then looked up at Akane. "And he's just too friggin' annoying for his own good."

Kyle glared at Ranma.

"Well, you're no Miss Mary Sunshine either!"

Ranma smiled evilly. "Funny, I think that describes you perfectly."

Kyle made to punch Ranma, and Ranma to attack Kyle as well, but Akane grabbed them by the back of their heads and bashed their two incredibly thick skulls together.

Akane glared at them.

"I'm going to go get a snack. When I get back, you two better have this resolved, whatever 'this' is!"

And with that, she marched off, muttering about how idiotic boys were, and how much they annoyed her.
