Chapter 7

The next day was Saturday, the day of the dance, so there was no school and so there was more than enough time to get ready. Akane woke up very early to go for her morning jog; she was a little nervous and needed to relax. As soon as she had come home, she took a bath and then left her house to go to Yuka's house.

When she got there, Sayuri was already there. The two girls were admiring their dresses and were trying to decide how to wear their hair. Akane settled her things on the bed and greeted the girls. The excitement from the girls seemed to rub on her and was actually looking forward to it.

The first thing the girls did was work of their hair. Yuka had decided to wear her hair up while Sayuri thought it would be better for her to wear her hair down. Akane didn't really have to struggle with this issue, something she was thankful for.

The next thing that they wanted was to work on their makeup.

"Akane, are going to wear makeup today? I know you don't usually wear any but maybe you want to wear some today." asked Yuka trying to convince her.

"I don't know I just don't feel that comfortable" Akane replied "But maybe I can wear a little bit today" she continued. "Will you help me?"

Yuka and Sayuri were more than happy to accept. They lead Akane to sit in front of the mirror. They put some mascara, a little eye-shadow, and some powder. When they finished, they admired their masterpiece and were satisfied to say that Akane looked lovely wearing make-up.

When the three had finished with their make-up they started to get dress. Akane looked at the clock and couldn't believe that it had taken that long to get ready, they only had one hour left. Yuka and Sayuri changed into their dress and waited for Akane to come out of the bathroom. When Akane joined them in Yuka's room, Yuka and Sayuri stared at Akane. "Oh Akane you look beautiful" they exclaimed at the same time.

"Oh Akane, I forgot to tell you, we have to go pick up a classmate that needed a ride. My parents lend me their car, so we can go pick her up and then drive to the dance. Is that ok with you?" Yuka asked

"Of course Yuka, the more the merrier, right?" Akane joked.

Ranma had woken up in a very bad mood, he was not only being forced to go to a stupid dance but he was taking Ukyo too.

He got ready as fast as he could and waiting for the time to go pick up Ukyo. He pace around in his room, waiting impatiently

He heard the phone ring and went to pick it up.

"Tendo dojo, how may I help you?" he answer the phone.

"Hello Ranma, its Daisuke?

"Oh hey Daisuke, what's up?" he replied

"I was calling because I needed to ask you a favor"

What is it? Asked Ranma with curiosity

"Hiroshi and I have to go pick up some stuff that they need for the party but we needed help from another person. What do you say?"

"I don't know I have to go pick up Ukyo and I don't want to be late" he informed

"Oh come on Ranma, my dad lend me the car and we'll be gone only for a little bit, it won't last that long."

"Fine but if I'm late you'll get yours"

'Yeah, Yeah, we'll pick you up in a little bit."

With that Ranma hung up the phone and went outside to wait for Daisuke and Hiroshi. They got there in only a few minutes and picked him up.

"So where are we going" he asked

"Don't worry it will only take a few minutes" said Daisuke

Those few minutes turned into 10, then to 20 and then to 40. "What the hell is taking so long, I'm already so late to pick up Ukyo, when are we getting there" Ranma was practically yelling.

"We're here. We're her. Hold your horses" Hiroshi said. "Look that's the house we need to pick up the boxes in there you go on ahead, let me park there and we'll catch up to you".

"Ranma got out of the car and slammed the door behind him, he was mad and annoyed at his friends. He made his way into the house.

Yuka had been driving for about 10 minutes but to Akane, it seemed a life time. She was getting a little nervous, "Yuka do really know where you are going, if this girl is a classmate why would you need to go so far?" Yuka and Sayuri seemed a little too nervous to Akane. "Don't worry Akane will be there in no time". Yuka answered with a reassuring smile.

Akane wasn't sure, it seemed they were going to the outskirts of town and to make things worse it had started to rain. It had started with some sprinkling but now it was downright pouring. It wasn't till about half an hour later that Yuka made a turn and stopped at what appeared to be an empty house.

"Yuka, I don't think anyone lives here" Akane told Yuka

"Of course they do, can you please go and knock, Kima will be waiting" Yuka asked Akane with a pleading smile.

"You want me to go out there?" Akane asked in an indignant tone.

"Please Akane?"

"Fine, fine" Akane got out of the car and went to knock on the door. This really seemed ridiculous. It was just too late, they were not going to make it to school and it was raining so heavy that it was difficult to see past your nose.

Resigned, Akane went to knock on the door.

She knocked once, no one came to the door, and actually there was not even a noise.

She knocked again and waited for a moment.

She was just getting ready to leave when she heard a noise.

Suddenly the door was opened and…
