Greetings Lara,

[Inside the Tendo dojo, Ranma is pondering over a mail package that was
delivered earlier that morning]

Akane: Morning, Ranma.  What's that you've got there?
Ranma: Um, It's Lara Bartram's latest fic.
Akane: Cool!  Well, why don't you open it yet?
Ranma:  I don't know. [sighs] I've got a funny feeling about this one.
Akane: Come on, Ranma.  It can't be that bad.

[Ranma was finally convinced and he starts to unwrap it.  Just then,
someone knocked on the gates]

Nabiki: Oh, hello, Kounji-san.  What brings you this early in the morning?
Ukyou: Hello Nabiki.  Is Ran-chan awake?  I've got some freshly cooked
oko...

[Both are surprised as they hear screams from the house]

Ukyou: Ran-chan?
Nabiki: Akane?


A Glorious Day - Ranma and Akane 2gether 4ever... Death to all the others

by Lara Bartram



"Ucchan, you're the only fiancee for me!"


[On the porch]

Akane: Get a grip, Ranma!  It's only the first line!
Ranma: [shakes his head] What...?
Akane: Remeber, it's only a fic.
Ranma: But it says up on top that's its Ranma and Akane together forever.
Akane: [giggles] It'll always be that way.

[Nabiki, Akane, and Kasumi arrives at the scene]

Nabiki: Ok, what is it this time?
Ukyou: [swinging her spatula] What did you do to my Ran-chan, Akane?!
Akane: Relax, guys.  We're just looking over Lara Bartram's new fic.
Kasumi: Is everyone all right?  Should I call Dr. Tofu.
Nabiki: No need, oneechan. [Kasumi leaves]
Ukyou: [sits besides Ranma] So what is it all about?
Nabiki: [sits besides Akane] Probably another tale tale.
Ukyou: Wow!  Did you really say that, Ran-chan?
Ranma: Ucchan!  Its only a fic. [sweatdrops] Um...well, at least that's
the truth.
Ukyou: Ran-chan!  Why don't I ever get you in a fic?
Akane: Hey!  You've got lots of fics were you ended with Ranma.  Don't
forget that.
Ukyou: Hmmp..It's not the same.
Nabiki: Hey.  Are we going to read it or fight again? [Everyone was
silent] Good.

"And don't I know it, Ranchan!"
Ukyo and Ranma embraced lovingly.  They never noticed Akane
walk up behind them, glowing with an unholy red light.

Ukyou: [hugs Ranma] Oohh! Ranma.  I love this fic already.
Ranma: Ucchan! Get off me.
Akane:  Rrrrr....Ranma!

"Rrrrrr... Ranma!"

Nabiki: Hey, that's exactly what you said in this one.  [all stare at
Nabiki]  See for yourselves.

Ranma ripped himself away from Ukyo reflexively, looking like
a scared rabbit.  "It wasn't my fault, Akane!"

Ukyou: {frowns] Shucks, it was too good to be true.
Akane: Typical, Ranma.

Ukyo looked at Ranma, getting more annoyed by the moment.  If
Ranma wouldn't stand up for himself, she would do it for him.  She
turned to face the enraged Akane.  "Now you listen here, Ranma and I
are getting married.  Not you and him, so just give it up."  She
adopted a very smug smile on her face.  "We all know I'm better than
you anyway."

Ukyou: At least I speak the truth here.
Akane: And what truth is that!
Ranma: Ladies, settle down.
Akane: Not until Ukyou tells me what she meant by that.
Ukyou: Why don't we just read on?

"Yeah, Akane," Ranma offered.  "She's a lot better cook, she
can swim, she's got a decent body, and she's a lot better..."

Ranma: [gulps] Did I ....?
Akane: Ranma!  How could you?! [starts crying]
Ukyou: See.  The truth hurts.
Akane: Shut up!
Ranma:  Akane, I never said anything like that to you.  It's only the fic.
Akane: [stops crying] Um..you mean it?
Ranma: Of course.
Akane: Whaah!!!! [cries] [pulls out her hammer and starts pounding
randomly]
Ranma: Huh?  What did I say?

Akane suddenly pulled out her mallet, but instead of the
normal wooden construct, it was metal and adorned with sharp spike.
She whipped it around, bringing it down on Ukyo's head.  The giant
spatula was no match for the hammer, and was summarily buried in
Ukyo's head, along with the hammer.  "Rrraaahh!  Take that!"
Ranma looked on, dumbfounded.  "Akane, how'd you do that?
Ukyo's a way better martial artist than you!  She should've kicked
your butt!"

Ukyou: [shocked] What?
Ranma: Hey, Akane.  This will cheer you up.
Ukyou: Ran-chan!! [starts leveling Ranma with her saptula]
Akane: [reads what she missed] Whoa...Ha ha ha! Finally!!

Akane smiled evilly at him.  She pulled a furled scroll from
the same place she kept her hammer.  "Heh heh heh heh," she chuckled,
in a completely inhuman voice.  "You thought I would sit idly by while
those other girls fought over you?  Never!"  She unfurled the scroll
for Ranma to see it.
He looked it over, not even being able to read it, the print
was so small, but he could read the signatures at the bottom.  There
was some writing that he couldn't read, but it was big enough for him
to see, and below that there was...  "Akane!  What'd you do?"
"Simple, my dearest fiancee, I sold my soul to the devil so I
could have you.  I had Nabiki help with the contract to get it just
how I wanted it, and now...  I have you."  Akane tucked the contract
away.
"Akane, I can't believe..."

Ranma: Akane?  I can't believe you sold your soul to the devil.
Akane: Nabiki?  Do you have something to do with this?
Nabiki:  None that I know of.
Ukyou:  I'm dead.  My god!  Why?

"Believe it, buster.  You're mine and no one will ever take
you away.  In fact, now that I've done away with Ukyo, the most
saintly of the fiancees, if annoying and smug, I should be granted
the power to do things my way from now on."
Ranma was speechless.
"Hold still, this won't hurt at all."  Akane walked toward
Ranma, resuming her normal, innocent looking self and cute voice.

Ranma: [crumples the rest of the fic] Um...I don't think we should
continue.
Akane: Hey..it was getting....interesting.
Ukyou: [crying] Why me?  Why me?
Nabiki: [grabs the fic from Ranma] If you're such a wimp to read it, I'll
read it then.
Ranma: Hey!

***

"Akane, this is fabulous!  I can't believe how good a cook you
are!"  Ranma proceeded to shovel down the rest of the food.
Akane only smiled happily at him, then looked at Nabiki and
winked.

Ranma: What?  Akane? How?
Akane: You make it sound like I have a terminal disease or something?
Nabiki: Hmm...where have I heard that line before?

Nabiki nodded and began eating her own food.  She was set for
life now from helping Akane.

Nabiki:  Oops.  Looks like I did have something to do with this one.
Ranma: I knew it.

"Ranma," Akane asked suddenly, "do you want to get married?"
Ranma lifted his head from the food.  "To you?"
Akane nodded.
"Yeah!"

Ranma: Akane?
Akane: What?
Ranma: Do you want to...um...you know?
Akane: You mean...this? [points to the fic]
Ranma: Yup.  Well, do ya?
Akane: Um..I don't know.  Shouln't we...um...do something first?
Ranma: Huh?  What?
Ukyou: [crying] Arrggh! I can't take all these failures anymore.  Waaaah!

The entire household broke into tears of joy, except Akane and
Nabiki.

Nabiki: Hmm...seems to have turned out pretty well.  Especially for me.
What do you think, Ak...?  Akane? [Only Ukyou was there]  Where the hell
did they go?

***

Akane and Ranma lived a long, happy, comfortable life, never
wanting for anything.
Akane's disposal of Ukyo had provided her the power to bend
Ranma's mind to her own wishes, though he never noticed and never
seemed happier.

Ukyou:  Ack!  Somebody has to pay for this!  somebody!
Nabiki: Are you all right, Kounji-san?  You look a little pale.
Ukyou: [crumples the fic and throws it away] I've got to find this Lara
Bartram!!!  I just have to!!! [leaves with her spatula in hand]
Nabiki: What's gotten into her? [retrieves and uncrumples the fic again]

The death of Shampoo provided the happy couple wealth and
comfort for their remaining days, which meant Cologne and Mousse got
deported, Nodoka suddenly had a change of heart when it came to the
manliness of her son and seppuku, Kuno ranted too long one day and was
tossed in an institution, and Happosai just up and died.

Nabiki: Kuno-baby?  In an institution? Can't be. [reads more] Well, at
least that pervert is finally dead.

Kodachi's death, well, it was only brownie points for Akane,
but the clause Nabiki had put in the fine print set her up for a
comfortable life too.

Nabiki: [smiles] Heh.  Of course I wouldn't forget little old me.

Ranma and Akane lived happily ever after, until they both
died, together, and went to hell.  :)

Nabiki: [looks up the ceiling and hears some moaning] Well, at least
they're going to heaven first. [crumples the fic, pulls out a lighter and
burns any trace of it.] It would be better if no one else would read this.
For Lara's sake.

[Nabiki watched as the dying embers of Lara's fic is slowly swept away by
the prevailing winds.  She was about to go up her room when she heard some
loud moaning and several shrills.]

Nabiki: [knocks on ther door of Akane's room] Could you hold it down a
little.  [the moanings stopped abruptly] Good.

[Nabiki entered her room and sat on her bed. She looks down on Kuno, still
lying asleep on it]

Nabiki: [massages Kuno's back] I still can't believe someone would think
you're crazy, Tatewaki.
Kuno:  Huh? [groggy]  What did you say?
Nabiki: Nothing.
