this is my first songfic, hope it doesn't cause any trouble.

Ranma 1/2 songfic
originally sung by Barbara Streisand and Celine Dion
Ranma 1/2 created by Rumiko Takahashi
Setting: before the failed wedding
"Tell Him"
Opening scene:
Akane is in her room, looking out the window. She is wearing her wedding dress and she starts to sing
Akane:
I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
(Akane smirks)
Woo woo woo-oo while
there's another one he's thinking of
(Scenes of Ranma with Shampoo or Ukyou cross her mind)
Maybe he's in love
(Akane starts to cry)
I'd feel like a fool
(She plops on her bed)
Love can be so cruel
(She lies down sobbing)
I don't know what to do
Female voice:
I've been there
(Akane sits up and turns toward the source of the voice she sees...)
With my heart out in my hand
(...Nodoka Saotome, who sits beside her and wipes her tears with her hand)
But what you must understand
You can't let the chance
to love him pass you by
(she holds a picture of Ranma and shows it to Akane)

Nodoka :
(Holds Akane's hands)
Tell him
tell him that the sun and moon
rise in his eyes
reach out to him
 and whisper
tender words so soft and sweet
Akane:
(determination is in her eyes)
I'll hold him close
to feel his heart beat 
Nodoka:
(nods)
Love will be the gift 
you give yourself
(After hearing the words about giving herself, Akane loses her confidence)
(Nodoka shakes her head and sighs)
Nodoka:
Touch him
with the gentleness you feel inside
Your love can't be denied
(Akane remembers at Mt. Phoenix)
the truth will set you free
You'll have what's meant to be
all in time you'll see
(Akane smiles and blushes)
Akane:
Woo-hoo-oo I love him
Nodoka:
Then show me
Akane:
Of that much I can be sure
Nodoka:
hold him close to you
Akane:
I don't think I can endure
if I let him walk away
When I have so much to say
(she remembers the incident when Ranma loses his strength and goes away)

[Repeat chorus except last line)
Akane and Nodoka:
Love will be the gift
 you give yourself

(Soun steps into the room and informs Akane that the ceremony is starting)
(Akane and Nodoka step out of the room and walk side by side)
Akane:
Love is a light that surely glows
in the heart of those who know
it's a steady flame that gro...ws
Nodoka:
(Nodding, holds Akane's hand and pats it affectionately)
Be the fire with all the passion 
you can show
Tonight, love will assume its place
It's memory, time can't erase
Your faith will live long where it has 
to go...
Choir:
(Nabiki, Kasumi, Shampoo,Akari, Ryouga, Mousse)
(starts to sing upon entrance of the bride)
Tell him 
Tell him that the sun and moon
rise in his eyes
(Akane walks towards where Ranma is)
(Ranma is stunned upon seeing Akane)
 reach out to him
(Akane and Ranma hold hands)
and whisper
whisper words so soft and sweet
(Ranma stutters yet manages to tell Akane that she is beautiful)
Nodoka:
(Tears of joy form in her eyes)
Hold him close 
to feel his heartbeat
All:
Love will be the gift 
you give yourself
Nodoka:
Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo ...hoo-hoo hoo
Never let him go
(Leaves with Genma in panda form as the bride and groom kiss)

Author's notes:
This is how I felt the wedding should've been.  Nodoka would have been the perfect person to talk to Akane if she had the wedding jitters ^_^
C&C welcome, although unnecessary
MSTs are a treat (I wonder how it would be done?)
Flames.....well, you know the drill.
