A Second Too Late
	Part 3
	"Rendezvous with Ranma" :)
	By: P-R-P-Chan (still an idiot.. but at least he didn't delete anything
yet) and Ranchan

	Ranma stood, impatiently waiting, tapping his foot, checking his watch; but
nothing seemed to make the train come any faster.  He could see it off in
the distance, but that's where it remained, too far off for him to notice
any movement at all.  The fact that it was in his sight yet so far away,
made it that much harder to stand.
	'I wonder if she's changed much.. It's been a year since I last saw her,
and even then she was a far cry from the tomboy I was engaged to four years
ago.'
	

	'I wonder if he's changed much.. It's been awhile since we last saw each
other, and already he was starting to look twice the man I first met in the
bath.' Akane thought, as she glanced out the window, catching Ranma's eye as
the train rolled to a stop.  Sharing a moment together, the two emmersed
themselves in each other, unable to tear their gaze away.  A bulky woman
destroyed the moment, knocking into Akane, who quickly gathered her things,
rushing to meet Ranma.  Descending from the train, she rushed into Ranma's
waiting arms, looking at each other lovingly for a moment; before realizing
what they were doing, whereupon they quickly separated.

	"Akane. It.. It's nice to see you." Ranma stuttered, nervously scratching
his neck.
	"You too, Ranma... shall we go? 
 	"Yeah, let's go..."

	On the way home, Ranma couldn't help but notice a jiggle in Akane's chest
that hadn't been there before.  It was all he could do to stop his eyes from
wandering, up and down her feminine figure.  Ranma couldn't believe that
this was the same girl who had left him for college a year ago, she'd
switched from her schoolgirl dresses and gi's to tight fitting jeans and
small crop tops.  Looking over her form, Ranma felt a stirring in his loins,
and one in his heart; a feeling he hadn't felt in over two years, when they
first started to lose touch completely.  Akane for her part, wasn't unaware
of Ranma's reaction to her, she herself was getting similar ideas; walking
arm in arm, she couldn't help noticing how much more muscular he'd become,
how his shoulders had broadened, and all the multitude of little things
which had changed.  Akane found her mind wandering towards the gutter, and
her eyes following, when Ranma interrupted her train of thought.

	"We're here!"
	"Huh?" Akane stuttered as she looked into his eyes and away from his crotch.
	"We're here, Akane." Ranma entered, Akane right behind, "You can put your
bags in my room."
	"Do you really think I'm that easy?"
	"What do you mean? I'm gonna be sleeping on the couch.."
	"Oh... sorry.. I guess I still expect the worst from you."
	"People change, Akane.  Try and give me a chance before you jump to
conclusions."
	"I'm sorry.."
	"Stop apologizing already, anyways what do you want for supper?"
	"I don't suppose you want me to cook?"
	"Well..."
	"What? You don't really want me to, do you?"
	"I just thought it would be nice, it has been awhile..."
	"Oh Ranma! I'll make the best supper you've ever tasted."
	
	As Akane entered the kitchen, Ranma completed his sentence to himself.
"Since I last needed a stomach pump."

END PART 3
