Yes, I know I'm evil for writting another fanfic before
I finish the other. But it's been done before, so who cares? And
yes, I know the title is awful blame it one my feeble mind. It simply
can't come up with decent titles.


Chapter 1
 
        "Ranma!" A young girl holds her arms open wide, as she calls
 the name of the man she loves. A field of daisies and dark green grass
 surrounded her, with a blue sky. The wind whips her dark hair, hair
 which matches the light blue sun dress she's wearing. Her smile is brighter
 than the yellow dandelions that lay at her feet.
        "Akane!" Twenty feet or so away,  is a young man. He looks
 at the beautiful girl with longing, and begins to run to her, his eyes
 shining. She also breaks into a run,  delicately  jumping over some flowers
 so that she won't crush them. 
        Just as they were about to collide, she throws her arms around
 his neck, and his wrap around her waist. They fall over, and roll in the
 grass for a while, laughing and giggling.
        When they finally stop, the boy holds her up as if she were a baby,
 his hands at her waist and her arms dangling in the air. She beams him a
 smile, and a warmth washes over his chest. 
        Pulling her back down again, their faces aren't but two inches away. 
        "Oh, Ranma...." She whispers, staring into his grey eyes.
        "Akane...." He stares back, his heart pounding in his chest. He lifts
 his head from the ground, and closes his eyes. She does too, slowly inching
 her head forward. As their lips are about to meet....
 
        "NO!" Ranma sits up from his futon, sweat covering his body. He
 breathes deeply a few times, not believing what he just dreamt.
         *Oh man, that was a Ryoga-type dream! And with Akane in it, too!
 What's coming over me?* He shudders as he remembers the way he felt when
 he was about to kiss her. *That's sick. Who'd want to kiss that tomboy? Only
 sickos like Kuno and Ryoga, that's who!*
        "Ranma!" The door is slammed open, and Akane storms in. "What do
 you think you're doing?! We have to be in school in fifteen minutes! You'd
 better be ready in ten or else I'll leave without you!"        
        "I'm going, I'm going!" He grabs some clothes from his closest
 without looking what he took, and zooms out of the room. 
        *This is gonna be a _bad_ day*
 
        "Hey, Ranma." Nabiki motions for him to drop down from the fence
 he's running on. Akane eyes her sister, wondering what she wants with Ranma, 
ready to pound him if she tried anything. 
        "Whaddya want, Nabiki?" He asks her, not slowing down his pace as
 he jumps off the fence.
        "There's something very important you should know, Ranma."
        "What's that?"
        "700 yen." He stares at her.
        "What about 700 yen?"
        "That's how much it's going to cost you!"
        "No way! Why should I pay so much for some lousy piece
 of news?"
        "If you don't want it...."
        "That's right, I don't want it, now leave me alone!" The two
 separate, Nabiki shaking her head with a mischievous smile, Ranma
 annoyed. 
        "Er, Ranma?" 
        "What, Akane?" 
        "I think it's raining." And so it was. Small drops were hitting
 the pavement, not enough for Ranma to turn into a girl into a girl, but
 it there would soon be enough to trigger the change.
        "Why didn't you just tell me it was going to rain, Nabiki?" Ranma
 yells angrily. 
        "Actually, it was something else I wanted to tell you about." Nabiki
 admitted.
        "Who cares about what you were going to tell each other! We have
 less than two minutes to get to school!" At the reminder, they all started
 running even harder.
 
        With one minute to spare, all three of them had entered the building
 in time. After taking a moment to get their breaths back, Nabiki gave her
 good-byes to her sister, and headed off to her class. Ranma-chan and Akane
 were about to the same when they felt a tap at their shoulders. 
        Ranma-chan went on walking, but Akane took her sleeve, and pointed
 to the girl that had been behind them. Ranma-chan's chin dropped.
         She's a small thing, a centimeter or two taller than Ranma-chan. She's
 wearing the same uniform that Akane is, except that she wore a small blue hat
 with a pink ribbon on it. Her light brown hair reached her chin, and it curled a
 little at the end. Other than these small things, her face was exactly that of
 Ranma-chan's. She offered the two a smile. "Hello, I'm Saotome Aeka. Could
 you tell me where 10-F is?"
        

	I couldn't resist putting that first bit in. I'm always curious
of what Ranma dreams about, and decided that it'd be a good way to start
it. DOn't worry, I could never write a romantic story, especially not
with those two as the main characters.
	Oh, and does anybody want to tell me in which class Ranma and
Akane are in? I don't know, so I just made something up.
