"You don't have to wait long to tell me, Akane." Ranma said, stepping out of the shadows of the back alley.
"Ranma!" All three jumped, shocked that he'd been snooping around, eavesdropping.
----------
"It's okay, Akane," Ranma said, serenely. "I decided that you're right, and I will stop hounding you. If you don't want to be with me anymore, then you don't have to.
Akane blinked. "Really?" Gee, he was certainly taking this rather well.
"Yes, really, cause today.. I finally fell in love!"
"WHAT?" the three girls all shrieked.
"Yes, now I know what love really is supposed to be like!" Shampoo, Ukyo and Akane all looked at each other, then back at Ranma.
"That's nice, Ran-chan, who's the lucky girl?" Ukyo finally said.
Ranma grinned and puffed out his chest proudly. "Akari!" and said girl and giant sumo pig stepped into the light from the street lamp.
"Akari?" The FORMER fianceés all cried at once.
"Yes! And you're all invited to the wedding!" Ranma embraced the NEW love of his life, clutching one of her hands in his and pulling her close. Akari just "tee-heed", blushing daintily. The three girls face-faulted.
The End.
