In the middle of the tea room, Ranma knelt on one knee as he held Akane's hand and looked pleadingly into her eyes. "Please please please please please PLEASE," he begged.
Akane, standing with her shoulders slouched, gave off a bored and annoyed look. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
"I'm beggin' you, Akane. You won't regret it if you say yes." Never had Ranma looked so pathetic. With Ranma's good fortune, both his and Akane's families found it the right time to walk in on the couple.
"Oh!" Nodoka exclaimed while Akane's father and sisters could only gape. Genma, in his panda form, held up a wooden sign that read, Don't mind us, son.
"Okay, fine!" Akane relented, snatching her hand back. Her face turned red in embarrassment.
"Yes? You're saying yes?" Ranma asked excitedly.
"Yes, okay? I'm saying yes. Shut up now!"
"Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Ranma exclaimed happily, jumping to his feet. In his ecstasy, he leaned over and kissed Akane on the cheek. He then proceeded to skip merrily in circles with Soun and Genma.
Akane sighed exasperatedly, shaking her head. She might've said yes, but it was Ranma who was going to tell their families he had only asked her to consider enrolling in a cooking school.
