Opening Song: "Wish"
from NIN:Broken

Chapter 1.
-------------------------|
Akane had trouble sleeping, she was thinking of tomorrow when she finally
gets to go on vacation. She hadn't been on vacation for atleast five 
years.
She was thinking of what she would do when she finally gets to Florida.
"Ahh. I cant wait to go to the beach!" Akane thought
"It's gonna be fun watching American's see Ranma change to a girl!"
she laughed.
"Oh, were going to have so much fun..."
[To bad Akane can't read the future]

Across the hall...
"I wonder if they take yen?" Nabiki thought counting her money.
"Hmm, thats okay if they don't." She thought as she opened her desk and
pulled out rolls of American money.

Further down the hall...
"Ranma you are going to spend lots of time with Akane, right?" Genma said
"Yeah, right with that tomboy?" Ranma said
"Ranma why don't you tell her your true feelings?" Genma asked.
"I do, right to her face!" Ranma yells at his father.
"Well my boy, lets get some sleep." Genma said.



"Get up Ranma! Its time to go!" Genma shouted
"Oh, alright" Ranma said.
Ranma got ready and they were off to the Airport.

"I need your ticket, sir." The ticketer said.
"Here you go." Soun said.
"Thank you, sir" She said

Ranma got in his seat, unfortunately it was the seat Akane wanted.
"Ranma, may I sit in the window seat?" Akane said in the nicest was 
possible.
"No-" He said until he looked up at her. "I mean, I guess."
"Thanks, Ranma." Akane said.
"I have never been on a airplane before." Akane said.
"I havent either." Ranma said "Everytime we went somewhere we swam."
Akane giggled
"Hmm she is kind of cute." He thought.
"Do you want anything to drink, sir?" The attendant said as she walked 
by.
"Nah" Ranma said
"How about you ma'am?"
"Uh, just some water." Akane said smiling.

"Please stay seated, we are about to take off." The captain said from an
intercom.
The airplane started off...
Akane started looking out the window
"Wow, everything looks like ants." She said to Ranma.
She turned to Ranma to have him look, but found Ranma looking very pale.
"Are you okay?" Akane said.
"Uh. yeah- Im fine." Ranma said unconvincingly.
"Here is your drink." The woman said.
"Are you okay, sir?" the woman asked concerned.
"Yeah, fine" Ranma said
"If you start to feel sick, the bathroom is right there." She said.
"Uh, thanks." Ranma said emberressed.
The lady left the drink and walked off.
"It's okay Ranma." Akane said as she smiled at him.
Ranma gave a half-hearted grin.
"What are you going to do when you get there?" Akane asked curiously
"Uhh, well I'll probably go surf, or maybe just swim." He said happily
"Oh." Akane said.
"Why what are you going to do?" Ranma asked.
"Well, Im going to lay down and feel the nice sun." Akane replied.
"And maybe swim alittle, too."
"Swim?" Ranma asked confused.
"Last time I checked you were a lead weight in the water." Ranma said.
"Errr. Baka, I got these!"  Akane said pulling a floaty out of nowhere.
"You sure you don't want me to teach you?" Ranma asked with a smirk
"...would you?" Akane asked.
"Yeah, I guess." Ranma replied.
"Thanks." Akane replied

After 12 and some odd hours they landed in California for refueling.
"California, eh?." Akane said.
"Aren't we suppose to be in Florida?" Ranma asked Akane.
"No, Ranma..They have got to refuel, first."
"Oh.." Ranma replied stupidly

"Everyone may get off the plane for an hour. Be back here by nine 
o'clock."
The captain said.
Ranma and Akane hurried off the plane and into the terminal.

"This is great!" Akane replied at the gift shoppe.
"Yeah, it's great." Ranma said bored
"I wish I knew English." Akane said.
"Don't look at me, all I know is 'Thank you' and the basics.
Akane and Ranma looked around for awhile, and a little longer...


	Nine 'o clock rolled around and the airplane took off.
"Hey, Ranma look; a hat with two cans of beer." Akane said to Ranma
"Yeah, Its great" Ranma replied with a yawn
"You think its time to go yet?" Ranma asked.
"No, it's only 2:30 in the morning!" Akane said turning back to the 
gifts.
"Did you wind your watch?" Ranma said.
"Why would I need to do that?" Akane asked.
"AHHH! Its Nine Thirty!" Ranma yelled"
"WHAT?!" Akane yelled.
Ranma grabbed Akane by the arm ran to a window to find there plane gone.
"This is bad." Ranma proclaimed.
"Where, where is the plane?" Akane asked.
Ranma ran to a desk and was asking about the plane.
"Ma'am where is the plane to Florida?" He asked.
The lady just looked at them shaking her head.
"Why won't she answer us Ranma?" Akane asked him.
"She doesn't know Japanese." Ranma said to her.
Ranma took Akane by the arm and ran out of the airport.
"What are we going to do now?" Akane said with shock in her eyes.
"I havent figured that out yet." Ranma said.

Back at the plane...
"So Genma what are we going to do about Ranma and Akane?" Soun asked.
"Why don't we have Ranma give her a ring at the lodge?" Genma replied.
"Lets see if Ranma is up to it."
"Ranma my boy come here." Genma said in the air.
"Sir, are you looking for your son and daughter?" The attendant asked.
"Yeah, something like that." Genma replied.
"The last time I saw them they were at the Gift Shoppe." The Attendant 
said
"What?" Genma asked terrified


	"Do we have any money?" Akane asked Ranma.
"I have some that I got from Nabiki, Im paying intrest of course." Ranma
said trying to cheerup Akane.
It didnt work.
Ranma had never seen Akane this worked up before.
"I'm sure they will be back soon." Ranma said.
"Yeah, right!" Akane said.

"You having trouble guys?" The man asked as he went up to Ranma and 
Akane.
"Florida" Ranma said
"Florida?" The man asked.
Ranma nodded.
"Great there from another country, they don't even speak english!" The 
man
said to himself happily.
Ranma gestured to the man if he could take them to Florida.
The man nodded.
"Great." Ranma said to himself.
"Is he taking us to Florida?" Akane whispered to Ranma.
"Yeah, he is." Ranma said with a grin.
"Good." Akane said with relief

"I'll make this quick." The man thought to himself.

The man gestured to get in a beat up old Geo Storm.
"Thanks." Ranma said to the man.
"No, prob." The man said with a grin, and looked back at Akane in the 
mirror.
"I'll have some fun with her, too." He thought.
The car started going and went through a back ally.

The car stopped in the ally.
"I don't like this, Ranma." Akane said worried.
"It'll be, okay." Ranma said comforting Akane.

"Okay, you son of a bitch." The man said.
Ranma looked at the main funny, not expecting harsh tones.
The man then procceded to take out a 8mm out of the glove compartment and
pointed it at Ranma.
Ranma was in shock, his eyes went large, he was trying not to panic.
"Oh, god!" Akane shouted.
"Give me all your money!" The man demanded.
"...." Ranma responded still looking at the gun, and
the trigger finger.
The man casually started to pull back on the trigger.
Ranma panicked.
"Ranma!" Akane yelled
"Hmm, times up." The man said.
As quick as lightning the gun went off.
BAAAAAMMMMM!
Ranma laid on the floor not moving.
"RANMA NO!!!" Akane screamed.
"HAHAHAHAAHA!" The man laughed.
"You killed him!" Akane said.
"I don't know what your sayin' bitch but I don't like it!" The man said 
now
pointing the gun at her, and started to pull the trigger.
Ranma quickly turned his head and flipped the mans arm around the seat.
And broke it.
"AHHHH!" The man screamed as he felt his bone rip apart.
Ranma took the gun and fired at the man.
Ranma didn't look to see if he had killed him, he
quickly grabbed Akane and ran out of the car.

Blood was coming out of Ranma shirt.
"Ranma!" Akane said seeing the blood.
Ranma didn't look so good. He was pale in the face just like on the 
plane,
but this time worse, Just like he was about to faint or worse.
"Ranma, we need to get you to a hospitial." Akane demanded.
"Naah, I'll be alright." Ranma said as he started to black out.
[BLACK]

Ranma awoke in a bed. It was dark in the room.
"Hello?" Ranma asked to see if he was dead.
"Ranma?!" Akane shouted. "I'm in the other bed."
"Are you alright?" Ranma asked.
"Yeah." Akane said.
"Where are we?" He asked.
"In the Hospitial." She said.
"Oh." Ranma replied.
"Why can't I see anything?"
"You have bandiges over your eyes." Akane said
"WHAT?" Ranma said shocked.
"You were pronouced dead a few times." Akane said.
"Your training finally paid off."
"Your going to be fine." Akane said.
Akane was crying.
Ranma could hear her sobs.
"I'm sorry." Ranma said as he blacked out, again.

Ranma was pronounced dead a few more times...
Akane was on the benches in the hopitial.
"Oh, my god he's dead. My fiances dead!" she said sobbing.
"What's wrong?" Ranma said as he went up to her.
"Ranma?!" Akane shouted and jumped in his arms.
Two people went walked up to Ranma and Akane.
One was a Doctor, and the other a translator.
"blah,blah,blah,blah" The doctor said.
"What..?" Ranma asked.
"He said, that he has a deal for you." The Translator stated.
"Well if you don't go tell the media about you being dead,
 we wont charge you anything." The Translator said.
"Sure." Ranma said not knowing that he could make millions off a story 
like
that in America.
"Bye." Ranma said and left the hospitial.


"I'm starved!" Ranma said
"Yeah, me too." Akane said
They walked down the street and stopped at Dan's Dinner.
"Nope don't want that" Ranma said as he saw everyone holding up there 
hands
and giving the guy with the ski mask there valuables.
"Why don't you help them, Ranma?" Akane asked.
"Should I?" Ranma asked "I thought it was a custom here!" Ranma said with 
a
evil grin.
"Oh, look the guys coming out now." He said
As the guy came out Ranma tripped him. And took his Bereta out of his 
hands.
"Your going to pay for that, boy!" The masked man said not realizing he
didn't have the gun anymore.
"Heh, you don't have the guts. Boy!" He said.
"Should, I?" Ranma asked Akane.
"Go ahead!" Akane said strongly.
"Hu-" The Masked man said as Ranma did a thrust kick to the his throat
"Heh." Ranma said as the man fell down unconsious.

"You know Akane, people can use weapons, kill everyone.
But, when it comes to real fighting, these people are just as scared as 
the
people that have to look down that barrel." Ranma said.
"Philosiphy, Ranma?" Akane asked surprised.
"Nahh, saw that on a magazine on the plane, heh." Ranma said.
"That's what I thought." Akane said grinning.
