Okay, so I stiffed this off of Pervert, but I don't see him doing it,
so I suppose it's free game.  (It wouldn't hurt if he did, though.)

"Ranma?"

It was a lazy early afternoon, when the sun wasn't quite on top, but
the clouds promised life-giving rain, and a serene shade.  Ranma
languidly turned to face her.  "What is it, Akane?"

She seemed almost shy, almost the budding woman the other boys saw 
that Ranma somehow kept overlooking at times.  Not this time, though.
"I... I... it's a beautiful day, isn't it?"

Ranma tilted his head downward, whispering, "it sure is, isn't it?"

His words drifted to her like the lightest of breezes, and felt of
his manly presence.  She saw the softer... no, feminine... even,
caring... side to him that he often detached from himself.  She
sheened red, ruddier than she usually was.

He nudged ever closer...

Nabiki, peering behind the cover of leaves, shook pleasantly.  "At
last.  I'd never thought they'd get to it."

Kasumi smiled in that way she did.  "Nabiki... it's rude to peek."

They watched anyway.

... only to be stopped by the glare Shampoo gave them.

"Husband!"  Her purple tresses fluttered dramatically in the wind,
punctuating her ire.  "Why you kissy-kissy with Akane?"

"M-me?"  The urge to deny everything warred with his proximity 
from Akane and the damage he knew could come from it.

Akane, however, had the option to invoke indignation.  "It's none
of your business... you, you... hussy!"

Shampoo marked off a distance to Ranma equal to Akane's.  "You the
hussy, Akane!  Stay away from Ranma!"

Just when Ranma thought that things couldn't get any worse off...
the Black Rose began shedding some petals their way.

"OH-HOH-HOH-HOOOOO-HOH!"  Kodachi looked down upon them.  "What are
you wenches doing with my dear, darling Ranma?"

"DARLING Ranma?!"  Akane gave him her best glare, and turned away
from Ranma.  With a certain amount of regret and anger, Ranma turned
away from Akane.

Nerima was silent for that day.

"Rumiko-san?"

She turned from the drama unfolding.  "Yes, what is it?"

"It seems like it will rain..."

A rumbling accented the point.  "So it does.  We all know what the 
rain can do, eh?"

She turned from the rose bush, and the chrysanthemums, only noticing
the bumblebee buzzing from flower to flower, asking, "where am I now?"

Damn.  A little too short, methinks.  What'cha think?
(Dammit, Jim, I'm a math major, not a bio major!)
