(Akane, having learned about The Plan, has royally chewed 
out both her sisters and been yelling at Ranma in the Dojo.)

But he was looking at her again, just like Nabiki and Kasumi ...

... and somewhere in Akane's mind, something finally connected ...

... and she shut up ...

... as the two of them stood facing each other in silence.

and now ...

-

SOMETHING I HADN'T PLANNED ON
a Ranma 1/2 spamfic, 
based on C&C received for "The Plan" by Tonbo.

-

"So you see, Sis, I don't think I ought to be telling anyone how to do 
this Plan anymore.  I only just started it myself."

Nabiki sat at the table with Kasumi, drinking tea.  They had shared with 
each other their disasterous conversations with Akane, and each felt 
vindicated to know they weren't the only one who had found it 
infuriating.

"But if she's treating you like that, then why do you continue?"

Nabiki looked uncomfortable.  There were very few people in the world 
she could talk openly with.  Kasumi was one.  With a conscious effort, 
Nabiki lowered her emotional defenses and confided the truth to her big 
sister.  "I .. think ... I like Ranma."

"Oh my," said Kasumi, as the FFML face-faulted.

"Really?" said Ranma, stepping into the kitchen.  "Do you mean that?"

"Ranma!" exclaimed Nabiki, mortified to have been overheard, "I thought 
you were out in the dojo with Akane."

"I was.  But then she started yelling at me again."

"No she didn't!" cried Lord Archive from the audience.  "She Shut Up!  
We saw her!"

"Yeah," said Ranma, turning so he could look out of the screen and 
address the viewers directly, "but do you really think as out of control 
as she's been this entire fic that she'd be able last more than two 
minutes of Shutting Up without going crazy?!"

"Damned straight!" replied Matthew Campbell from the sidelines.  Other
voices were heard yelling, "Give Akane the boot!" and "Don't do this!" 
Still others were chanting the names of their favorite fiancee.

"Who are all of your friends, Ranma?" asked Kasumi.

Ranma turned back and knelt in front of Nabiki.  "It's taken me this 
long to realize who's been patient with me, who's been tryin' to help 
me.  I can't believe I've been so ... so Stupid."

"Shut Up now," said Nabiki, leaning toward Ranma and kissing him.

"Oh, how Nice," said Kasumi.
