"What are you doing?" Akane was throwing pebbles on the fishpond, and
Ranma didn't understand her boredom.

"What does it look like?"  Akane threw another stone and it skipped this
time.

"It looks like you're throwing rocks." Akane grounded her teeth for a
second, Ranma started to chuckle behind her back.  "Ok, so you're bored.
Big deal."  Ranma sat next to her, digging his hands into Akane's rock
collection.  "Oww! What 'ya do that for?"  He felt and rubbed his hands
from the pain of Akane's slap.

"Get your own stones, BAKA!"  She threw her pebble with great enthusiasm
and it skipped three times before it sank into the murky waters.

Ranma did as he was told.  He piled up the stones just beside Akane's
pile.  They started throwing together.

--------

"What are you two doing?" Nabiki was passing by, hoping to get some
reading time out on the porch, but she knew with those two out there with
her, there wasn't much hope for that anyway.

"What does it look like?" Ranma picked a stone and threw it.  The rock
sank almost immediately.  He saw Akane grin; she was holding back her
laughter.

"You do realize, Kasumi has a pet fish in there."  Both teens' eyes grew
in apprehension and shock.

--------

"What are you two doing?"  Kasumi was about to hang up the laundry when
she noticed Ranma and Akane both wading in the pond.  Nabiki had her book
and was comfortably reading.

"Um, we're just..." Akane looked at Ranma, a cry for help in her eyes.

"We're...just fooling around, Kasumi.  It's quite refreshing."  Ranma
finally realized what Akane was looking at. He immediately hid his hands
filled with pebbles behind his back.

"I see."  Kasumi thought nothing of it and she continued on her way.

"Did you find it?" Akane whispered.

"No, did you?" Ranma grabbed more of the garbage they've thrown into the
pond.

"No."

------------

"Say, Kasumi.  What ever happened to your pet fish?"  Nabiki smirked
seeing the two's futile attempts to clean up the mess they've made.

"What fish?"  Kasumi looked at the pond; Ranma and Akane were all wet now.
"You two should come out of there now."

"I'm sorry, Kasumi." Akane didn't realize that her dress was wet all over.
So was Ranma.

"What are you two sorry for?"

"Your pet fish, I think we might have killed it?"

"What?"  Kasumi ran into the house.  Ranma and Akane just looked into one
another.  She was wet, her shirt outlining her body.  He tried to avoid
looking, but she knew Ranma was a pervert.  Or at least about her.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I won't look Akane."

"Come on.  Let's get out of this pond and change."  Ranma helped her out
of the pond.  Just then, Kasumi came back carrying a small aquarium.  Both
Ranma and Akane looked stupefied.

"See, Akane.  My pet piranha is still here.  Safe and sound."  Ranma
flinched, did he hear Kasumi right?  Akane saw a flash, and a whirling
sound.  She feared as much.

"Thanks guys.  Never thought I could get the two of you in wet T-shirts at
the same time.  Kuno-baby would pay me big for this one." Nabiki waited
for the Polaroid film to process the picture.  A second later she found
herself drenching wet, and in the pond.  "Eeeeeewwww!  What ya do that
for?!"

"Nice throw, Akane."

"Not bad yourself, Ranma.  She sure can sink."  Both laughed.

Kasumi held up her aquarium.  "Good thing I got you your own aquarium, Mr.
Piranha." She giggled and disappeared inside the house.

"I'll get you for this!"  Ranma and Akane ran into the house.  "Give me
back my camera!"

Kasumi was disappointed.  The three were trailing water all over the
house.  She'd be cleaning all day.  She sighed, "At least my pet fish is
safe."  That's when the sound of glass breaking filled the house.

"Owww!  Get this thing off me!  Get it off!"

"Hold still, Ranma!"

"Ah ha!  My camera!  Now to get a shot."

"Nabiki!"

Kasumi frowned.  "I think I'll go back to goldfishes." She started
mopping.

"NABIKI!!!"

Forgive me...I'm bored.
