   It's my first, so "contructive" comments are appreciated. ^_^

***********************************************************************

[ It is an early morning in Nerima.  The sounds of birds chirping and of
people preparing for another normal day in Nerima.  Off in the distance,
just beyond Furinkan High School's tower, a cloud of dust can be seen
coming closer. ]

Akane[ doing her morning jog ]: That BAKA!  Why does he always poke fun
	 at my cooking?  He doesn't even bother trying it... [She sighs as
	 she stops at the top of a long climb of stairs.  Akane walks over
	 to the railing at the edge of the hill and takes in the view of
	 Nerima]

Akane: Wow.  It's so beautiful and peaceful.  I wish Ranma were here
	 with me...

[ As Akane gazes off, lost in her thoughts, the sounds of a fast moving
vehicle can be heard.  Just then, as a flock of crows take flight at the
intruding sound and Akane turns around to face the noise,  the car could
be seen just turning out from a nearby driveway.  Out of control, it
plows right into Akane, the rail, and over the hill's edge. ]

Akane: AAAIIIIIEEEEEEeeeeee!!  ... R.. a.. n.. m..........

[ The three plummet from the hill, bouncing off the side as it got in
the way.  Akane's body bounced off the face of the hill twice before
finally landing on the hard pavement below.  The rail and the car came
next.  Amidst the sounds of bending metal and falling rocks, there could
be heard the wet sound of something hitting the ground too hard and
breaking.  Then, all was quiet, except for the occasional bit of
rock, late in coming.  And for the birds chirping in the morning air,
now growing warmer as the sun finally shed it's beams of light upon
Nerima.  Nerima, a broken and twisted piece of metal that was once part
of something else,  and a car whose body was too crushed and battered to
be recognized, with it's broken windows and ripped outer skin.  Among
the wreckage and twisted mess lay Akane. ]
