Well, this was written during another on going storyline with my chars
called the Sig Wars and this event occured after the de.ath of the
Leader of the Band.

---------------
(Tendo Basement)

Virgo fixes the frame and adjusts it on the wall.  Rumiko's     led
cries brings her eyes back to her sister and she looks with pity to
her.  She can't offer her any sympathy.  Part of her ha.ted her sister
for doing what she had done.  She looked to the silent patch of
shadows that the other woman had claimed as her own, the Zodiak family
sword, Soul Defender, lying in her hands.

Virgo: You can cry if you have to, Jody-chan...
Jody: No...  I can't cry...  I can't berlieve what happened either...
Virgo(takes a sidelong look to her sister): It did.
Jody(grabbing the hilt and swinging the blade, the heavy steel smashes
the chair in its path): SHE KI.LLED MY BROTHER! (Virgo grabs her
shoulders and pushes her back)
Rumiko(tears still streaming down her face): He fell!  I couldn't
catch him!  i'm sorry... (collapses into her sobs) I'm soo sorry....
Virgo: Stop it!
Jody(locks her glare on Virgo): You know she ki.lled him. (grabs her
trenchcoat and sheathes the blade) Damn you!

Virgo watches Jody leave up the stairs.  Her emotions drained from the
frantic night where the impossible had happened....

Virgo: i hope the gi.rls are dealing with it better....

Three identical gi.rls walk down the street in their 
brown school uniforms of St. Hebereke's School for Gi.rls.  They walk
in unison as they come over the hill.  The wind blows their skirts
slightly and their wild manes of hair.  Allegra walks in the center,
carrying her school bag over her right shoulder.  Musica holds her
school bag infront of her with both hands on the handle as she walks
on Allegra's left.  Octavia holds her bag with her left hand as she
pushes back a stray from her face.

Allegra looks at the children playing, hears the 
laughter of friends, and thinks about the couples about her.  Her
sisters keep in step with her.  

Allegra stops as she thinks she sees a grey suited man disappearing
over the horizon with a sword hung over his shoulder.

The image shifts and it's not who she thinks it it.  
Her sisters take a few more steps before they pause 
and look to her.  Allegra steps up to her sisters and they step
together.

Allegra sighs outloud and sings out as the music starts.

Allegra: Rainy day man....
Octavia:          Rainy day man.... Musica:                    rainy
day man...

(Allegra brings her free hand to her chest and closes her eyes.)

A: When I think about the first time...
O&M:                                the first time....

(Allegra's eyes stray to Ucchan's as Ukyo flips the 
sign over greets her customers.  Allegra turns away in 
disappointment as the store sign remains unmoving.)

A: I thought I found someone who cared for me.

(Allegra kicks a soda can with her eyes narrowed, it 
dents a mailbox as it richochets off.)

A: But things were not as they appeared to be!
O&M:                            -peared to be!

(Allegra grabs onto a signpost and twirls about it 
with her bag held out.  Black and white images flash 
past as Allegra stands in the street with a map, she 
asks a passing teen in yellow and tan with a bandana 
and an umbrella strapped to his back for directions.  
Her head snaps back as a trashcan hits her from Ukyo's 
direction.  Allegra lies dazed as the trashcan hightails it.)

AO&M: Rainy day man, 
On your shoulder I cried, 
When my first brush with love, 
Left me shakin' inside!

(Images of Allegra hugging her knees as she holds an 
ice pack to her head, her father hugs her gently as 
she tells him that she met a strong fighter named 
Tsubasa Kurenai who defeated her in one shot.)

A: Rainy day man...
O:          Rainy day man....

(Images of Allegra having a yelling match with Ukyo 
and stopping as a washing machine runs past with Ranma 
in pursuit.  Her eyes shimmer as her heart increases 
in pulse.  Ukyo waves a hand in front of her and shrugs.)

A: Ever since I can remember... O&M:                         remember...

(Allegra's father stands in the door and talks with her as she brushes
out her hair.  She smiles as he nods and listens to her.)

A: Just like a brother you've been strong and true!

(Allegra and her sisters stand on the cliffside and 
pray to the graves on it.  Tears roll down her cheeks.)

A: Always been the one to see me through!
O&M:                     -see me through!

(Allegra leans against a pole on a swingset as her 
sisters swing back and forth on either side of her.)

AO&M: Rainy day man, 
You're much more than a friend, 
I would give anything, 
Just to see you again!

(Allegra pushes off the pole and walks forward, her 
sisters jump at the height of their swing just as 
their singing part comes up.  They land gracefully next to her.)

A: Rainy day man...
O:          Rainy day man....
M:                   rainy day man....

(The Zodiak sisters walk out of the playground and 
scoop up their school bags.  They walk past the Neko 
Hanten and wave at Shampoo and Mousse who wave back.  
Ranma jumps past them, twirling in midair to give them 
a salute wave and hits the chain link fence running as 
Akane runs past them with a hasty greeting as she
swings her school bag at Ranma.  The sisters skip a bit and Allegra
sings out.)

A: Always been the one to see me through!
O&M:                     -see me through!

(The three of them move exactly alike as they slide to 
the left and slide back to the right.  They walk 
forward again, Musica and Octavia criss-cross over 
Allegra's path and twirl a bit as their dresses fan 
out about them.  Allegra puts her arms out and twirls about.)

AO&M: Rainy day man,
On your shoulder I cried,
When my first brush with love left me shakin' inside!
Rainy day man,
You're much more than a friend!
I would give anything,
Just to see you again!

(All three push up against each other's back as the veiw circles about
them.  Musica with her head bowed, Octavia with her hands gracefully
motioning, and Allegra holding a clenched fist to her chest.)

Allegra: Rainy day man...
Octavia:           Rainy day man...
Musica:                      rainy day man...
Allegra:                               Rainy day man.

They all bow their heads as they remain standing in front of Tendo Dojo.

Nabiki(leaning against the doorway): Sooo... do you always sing on the
way home like Virgo does?  I really have to get a camcorder for this. 
C'mon...  I think I know what happened last night... (walks into the
house)
