This is a nice pleasant short story, I liked the way 
Akane felt about her dance and the rain and the way Ranma 
shared some of his feelings. I think the story would have 
been improved if Akane had also shared her feelings as it 
wasonly Ranma said much at all.  Kasumi was not needed at 
all in fact I think the story would have been strenghthened 
if she hadn't appeared at all.
 In fairness Akane did give Ranma some needed support 
though. It was really nice to see her show Ranma that she 
could accept his feminity, usually the fics either show her 
tolerating it or prefering  her to him. Just accepting that 
it is still Ranma no matter what Ranma looked like was 
really the best point of this fanfic and the what made it 
the one I most enjoyed in quite a while. Congratulations on 
a job well done!
