Today, Ranma had quite an unusual mantra. "IhateyouIhateyouIhateyou," he chanted under his breath.
The ringing of a bell was heard. "Oh, Ranma," Akane said in a singsong voice from her room. Sighing heavily, he trudged over and set foot in his fiancée's room. She sat on her bed, arms crossed and back against the wall. His eyes spotted the little golden bell: right at this very moment, the bane of his existence.
"You rang?" This was asked with little enthusiasm.
"Excuse me?" she cried indignantly. She gasped and put a hand to her chest, feigning hurt.
Ranma sighed and straightened his posture. "I mean, you rang?" he said a little more joyfully.
Akane cleared her throat.
"You rang, Queen Akane?" His voice became an octave higher, as if it were painful. His left eye started twitching.
Akane laughed. "Better."
Ranma looked at her expectantly, exasperatedly.
Her lips curved into a smirk. "I want lemonade." Before Ranma could leave, she added, "From WcDonald's."
"What?" Ranma spluttered. "That's all the way across town!"
Akane sucked in a sharp take of breath and raised an eyebrow. "Does my slave dare defy my authority?" she asked mockingly.
"Of course not, Queen Akane," he bit out and turned around to leave. "My apologies."
Akane snorted. "Sore loser."
Note to self, Ranma thought angrily to himself, never, ever play Old Maid with Akane.
AN: If I recall, Ranma and Akane ate their burgers from a fast food joint called "WcDonald's" in season 1, episode 6. Well, they had a bag with an upside down "M"—a "W." Hence the WcDonald's. Thanks to N for the beta!
