Chapter 15
 
[Akane's room, Morning]
 
P-Ran: (Leaning against a wall) So that's it, huh?
 
Akane: (Sitting on her bed, nodding) Ranma didn't even bother to
 listen, he just ran off.
 
P-Ran: I don't blame him, it always hurts to hear that.
 
Akane: If he had let me talk to him. this would have never
 happened!
 
P-Ran: Akane, think about it: he loves you. I love you. He thinks
 now that you love me, so we'll run happily ever after into the
 sunset and never give him another thought. It hurts Akane, it hurts
 a lot.
 
Akane: .... 
 
P-Ran: Talk to him, ok? You might learn something you didn't
 know before.
 
Akane: (Snorting) From Ranma? Like what?
 
P-Ran: (Sweat drop going down his face) Just go and talk to
 him, ok?
 
Akane: (Giving P-Ran an odd look) P-Ran, if you 'love' me, why
 are you trying so hard to make Ranma and I get along?
 
P-Ran: (Stating this) I don't deserve you.
 
Akane: Where you really ever Ranma? I mean, seriously?
 
P-Ran: (Annoyed) I changed, and Ranma can change too, you
 know.
 
Akane: Ok, I'll accept that. But what do you mean by
 'I don't deserve you'?
 
P-Ran: Exactly that. I let you die, Akane. I promised to myself
 to never let anyone hurt you, and Shampoo manages to kill you.
 Ranma still has a chance, he just needs to be shown it.
 
Akane: But, um, my death wasn't really your fault. It just happen.
 
P-Ran: (Shaking his head) There're hundreds of ways I could
 have stopped it, Akane. But I didn't.
 
Akane: You're too hard on yourself, P-Ran. 
 
P-Ran: (Looking at her straight in the eye) Akane, what are you
 saying?
 
Akane: I'm saying forgive yourself; you can start all over here.
 We could say you're Ranma's twin, no one else would have to
 know the truth.
 
P-Ran: No, Akane. If I did that, I might forget. And when I
 forget, it'll happen again.
 
Akane: (Doubtful) If that's what you want...
 
P-Ran: (Firmly) It's what I want.
 
 
[Ucchan's, Afternoon]
 
 
Ranma: (Picking up a plate, and seeing a note underneath it)
 What the?... (Opens up note, and reads aloud) 'Ranma- meet
 me at the park fountain today at 4. Akane' (Looks up at Ukyou)
 Hey, Ucchan.
 
Ukyou: (Flipping an okonomiyaki) What?
 
Ranma: (Waving the note) Did you write this?
 
Ukyou: (Handing the okonomiyaki to the customer, and reading
 the note) No, Ran-chan, it says right here that Akane sent it.
 
Ranma: (Taking the note back) Yeah, but it really doesn't
 sound like her.
 
Ukyou: But you might as well go, ne?
 
Ranma: I guess... Ucchan, what time is it?
 
Ukyou: (Looking at the watch on the wall) 3:50. You'd
 better get going, Ran-chan.
 
Ranma: (Still doubtful) Right.
 (Is about to run out the door when Ukyou grabs his arm)
 What's wrong?
 
Ukyou: (Hands Ranma a bouquet of roses) Give these to Akane.
 
Ranma: (Looking from the roses to Ukyou) You SURE you
 didn't write that note?
 
Ukyou: (Impatient) Yes, I'm sure! Now get going before I
 change my mind!
 
 
(Cut to the park fountain)
 
 
(Ranma is sitting on the edge of the fountain, looking at his reflection
 in the water. He's holding the bouquet of red roses, and is fidgeting)
 
Ranma: *Poor Ukyou, she's trying so hard to make me happy, even
 though it makes her upset. I really wish I could help her*
 (Hears some footsteps, and turns) Is that you, Akane?
 
Ryoga: (Very calmly) No, it's me.
 
Ranma: Ryoga! What are you doing here?
 
Ryoga: Nabiki told me everything. P-Ran. Akane's death. I know all.
 
Ranma: (Annoyed) So what, Ryoga? I'm meeting A-, someone here
 in five minutes.
 
Ryoga: (Looking at Ranma's roses) Oh, poor little Ranma must have
 made Akane angry again. 
 
Ranma: (Angry) That's not it!
 
Ryoga: But who can blame her? She must hate you now,
 you're such a coward. I mean, you couldn't even stop
 Shampoo's attack which could have very easily been
 stopped. (Ranma looks more and more nervous)
 In fact, I wouldn't be surprised the next time you see her,
 she'll break off your engagement!
 
Ranma: (Looking at the bouquet, quietly, more to himself
 than Ryoga) She asked me come here... why?
 
Ryoga: (Hearing what Ranma said) Oh, Akane must have
 decided to get it over with! She's not like you, who just keeps
 stringing women along.
 
Ranma: (Keeps on looking at the bouquet) ....
 
Ryoga: I can hear her now; 'Ranma, you're a jerk, a pervert,
 and I hate you. Good bye.'
 
(This is the last straw; Ranma gets up and leaves, his head
 bowed in defeat. A single rose slips out from all the other
 roses, falling next to the fountain)
 
Ryoga: Hey, wait Ranma! I was going to ask you to fight with
 me! (Tries to run after Ranma, but goes in the wrong direction)
 
(Five minutes later)
 
Akane: (Walking to the fountain, and sitting down) *Well, here
 I am. Ranma told me to meet him here at  4.* (Looks at her watch)
 *Guess I'm a little early*
 
(The minutes go by, and with every second Akane gets more and
 more impatient)
 
Akane: *He's meant to have been here fifteen minutes ago! I bet
 he did this on purpose! Ranma, you're a jerk!* 
 
 
[She gets up, and does not noticed the rose Ranma had dropped.
 The sole of her shoe rests on the petals for a second, then she lifts
 it up. When she does, we can see the rose has been smashed. She
 walks on, never looking back. The scene fades]
 


	Ok ww, I know you've probably been asked this 1 billion
and ten times how to do this, but just for the record I'll ask again. ;)
How do you add something to your story at the remailer list? Or
put in a newer and better version of your fanfic? TIA.
