No, it a fic related question, answers can be done in such a way as to
add to other fics being posted < I gotta do a Baker Boys cross-over
someday... Ranma and Ryouga on Piano and Akane ON Piano is just TOO
tempting >
 

Okay, I won't touch the Baker Boys thing, but...

----------------------------------------------------
	"Of course not, sugar! I wouldn't dream of interfering with your wedding
again. I learned my lesson last time," Ukyou promised brightly.
	Ranma and Akane exchanged a dubious glance. Ever since that incident,
Ukyou had worked hard to redeem herself to the two of them, and they
finally forgave her. While there was no way in hell they'd let Shampoo,
Cologne, or the Kunous know what was up, neither of them wanted to hurt
Ukyou by keeping her in the dark. 
	"Alright Ucchan...I trust you," Ranma said, as they left. 

	On the way home, Ranma seemed pensive. Akane tugged on his sleeve. "Are
you okay Ranma?"
	"Hmm? Yeah, I'm fine. I just hope Ukyou and Ryouga don't try to ruin this
thing again," he said.
	Akane frowned. "Ranma, why would Ryouga try to wreck our wedding? I can't
figure you out sometimes..."
	"Yeah, whatever. Just trust me, he probably would." Earlier, Ranma had had
a discussion with Ryouga after Akane blurted the whole story of the wedding
to him. Ranma made Ryouga promise not to interfere this time...or else the
secret of P-chan would be revealed. 
	Now if only Ryouga and Ukyou could keep their word...

	***

	Ranma roared as his formal kimono was shredded by the bandanas Ryouga
threw. Akane shrieked, then yelled as spatulas ripped apart her mother's
wedding kimono, which Kasumi had prepared for the special occasion. 
	"Ukyou! You promised!" Akane cried, dropping into a defensive stance,
tears streaming down her face.
	"Sorry sugar, but I just can't let you marry Ranchan!"
	"Ryouga! You stupid pig! Why'dja hafta go and butt in, huh?"
	"You don't deserve Akane, Ranma! Not when there's a real man who loves her
like I do!"
	Kasumi's eyes were wide with shock at the state of the kimono Akane had
been wearing, which had belonged to their mother. Nabiki shook her head and
sighed. Soun wailed, and Ranma's parents looked on in disgust.
	"Ukyou..."
	"Ryouga..."
	"NO BAKA!!!!!!"
	Two interfering would-be suitors sailed off into LEO, as two fed-up
fiancees stood in the center of the dojo amid their ruined wedding clothes.

	***
	
	Ranma-chan sighed as she sat on the veranda of the Tendou residence,
staring up at the iron grey skies. "Ucchan...why did you have to break your
word? Is a promise that meaningless to you?" The combination of the
betrayal, the ruined wedding, and the weather put the redhead in a strange
mood, and brought to mind a song. Mournfully, she began singing...
	"Yokaze de kawakasu namida...machi no akari mo hoshi ni mieta... Gomen to
tsubuyaku koe o....seinaka de kiku to, setsunai no..."
	Another voice joined in, causing Ranma to blink. "Ayamaranaide....nakaseta
koto o...."
	Ranma continued, joining the other voice. "Iiwake, dekinai kimochi ni
naru..."
	"Onna no ko, usotsuki deshou....kyuu ni anata o kirai ni naru...." Akane
sang.
	Ranma picked up, "Otoko no ko, tomadou deshou...suki to tsugerare,
unazuiteta...honki yo..."
	"Sakki mo..."
	"Docchi mo," the couple finished together, and sighed. Ranma looked up at
Akane, then returned her gaze to the sky. "Think we'll ever get this over
with, Akane?"
	Akane shrugged. "Maybe. But I don't think we should think about trusting
those two liars again."
