I actually had to sit a while afer reading this before I commented....
Ya, usually it's a first impressions thing....I'm usually right but when
I'm not it's a doozy....
I'm still not sure how I feel about this one...strange eh?

Wow, I've written 20 chapters. I'm SOOOOOO proud of myself. (Sarcasm
here, ladies and gentlemen) Actaully, I am pleased with myself for
going on so long. I don't exect it to go on for more than five
chapters, but including all the spacing I have to do to make
this
readeble, it's over 84 pages long. *cheer*
Actually I'd like it to last longer.... If you feel you'd like to take
your time PLEASE DO....it's nice to log on and read the latest...even if
some chapters have bummed me out...which is a good thing skill-wise...
of course the sooner you finish the sooner I can send it to a couple of
friends of mine...but hey...to heck with them...
Now normally I try to do better here in editing, but I've
stayed over an hour my usual bedtime (How many ppl would belive
me if I said I make myself go to bed at 10?), and as likely as
we're going to have a snowday, I want my sleep just in case. At
least the spelling is right. Please, like always, put up with
my slopiness.
you are a brave girl...I tried the get to sleep at ten thing....It
lasted for about two weeks and left me feeling really strange....now of
course I'm going to sleep at 7:30 to wake up at 12:00 to go Christmas
shopping (I've got mine done and this is just to keep a couple of friends
from losing it...also my sister's boyfriend saw my Totoro ( I got it a
week ago) and is getting one for my little sister....
It's funny she's 24 and I stil see her as around 8 most of the time....
Anyway, I think it's cool because we all have so much strangeness in
common...

Chapter 20
[Tendo Hallway, Afternoon]
Nodoka: Nabiki! What do you think you're doing?!
Nabiki: Don't worry, Auntie. Those two are at their best when
fighting.
I think so... but those tender moments can be goofy too
Nodoka: But...
Nabiki: Trust me. Before you know it, they'll be fighting again just
like before!
Nodoka: (Sweat drop going down the side of her face) Just... like...
before...?
Nabiki: Oh, yeah. Ranma and Akane fight all the time.
Nodoka: They do?... (The two go on talking)
oh oh.....
(Cut to Upstairs Hallway)
Kasumi: (Take a seat on the bed, putting the tray on it) Akane,
I've been watching you and Ranma for a while now, and I thought
it might be better if I just let you sort things out on your own. But
lately, things have been getting worse and worse between you two.
Akane: (Hanging her head) And...
Kasumi: And so I thought I should ask you this: Akane, do you
love Ranma?
Akane: (Her head snaps up) Do I what?!
Kasumi: You don't have to tell me Akane, but until you find out you'll
never go anywhere. If you do, Akane, tell him, but if you don't let him
go. It'd be better for the both of you in the long run.
Akane: (Playing with her fingers) Well....
I see her doing that *poink* *poink* thing that Mihoshi does in Tenchi...
Kasumi: Hm?
Akane: (Weak smile) Arigato.
Kasumi: (Smiling back) Anytime.
I have a weaknes for Kasumi....my friends say I could never get along
with someone like her....but She's a lot stronger and more motivated that
most give her credit for....
YaY!!!!! She saves the day....

[Ucchan's, Late afternoon]
Ranma: (Holding his arm to his chest) Hey, watch it! That hurt!
Ukyou: That was the point! Ever since that phone call you had
with Akane three days ago, you've done nothing but mope even more.
You haven't even moved for the past 12 hours.
Ranma: (Turning around) Aw, shuddap.
Ukyou: (Annoyed) Would you quit with the hell-with-it attitude?
It's really getting to me; I can't take care of this restaurant, go to
school AND look after a blob.
And he says he doesn't care about Akane...
Ukyou: (Shutting her eyes, and slowly curling up) I somehow
wish I wasn't.
AAAAAhhhhh, poor girl...
[Nameless street, Late Afternoon]
Ranma: *Yeah, I'm the man.*
(Starts doing some cartwheels, but then stops) *Woah, calm down!
It's only Akane!* (He bursts into a grin) *Aw, who cares?* (Laughs)
He's such a knob....he NEEDS to be taken down a peg...
Voice: I fail to see the humor. (Ranma opens his eyes and sees Kuno)
Ranma: (Cheerfully) Hey, haven't seen ya in a while, Kuno. How's ya
been doin' these days?
I think you missed something here...
Kuno: They have been most pleasing, for I have not had to see your
hideous face.
(Cut to Park fountain)
Ranma: (Looking around) *Feh, must've arrived early again. But
this time nothin' is gonna make me le-
(Ranma stops in mid-thought, the victim of a cold blast of air. The
world around him turns into ice, snow falling around him and
snowmen start to do their happy little jig)
visions of the end of Tenchi....
(Ranma sees P-Ran kissing Akane. To be more specific, Akane and
P-Ran are lying on the ground, Akane on top of P-Ran. Their lips
are barely touching each other's, but it's close enough. Both have
their eyes shut, faces scarlet red)
Ouch......
Ranma: (Monotone) Hey. (P-Ran and Akane turn to Ranma)
Akane: (Blushing even harder) Ranma, it's not-
Ranma: Just don't rub it in by invitin' me to the wedding. 'k?
(Turns around, and trudges away)
Akane: Ranma, matte*!
Ranma: *Abayo** Akane.*

what happens next (hint hint)
