CHAPTER 1 - Halloween

Halloween


	It's a beautiful day in Nerima. Everything was normal, except one thing,
next week was Halloween. Everyone can be seen placing up decorations
everywhere. We can see Kasumi sitting by the dining table. She is busily
writing invitations for a Halloween party to be sent out to their close
friends. Kasumi hums a nice tune and seals all the invitations. She stands
up and mails all the letters.

	"This is going to be a fun Halloween." Kasumi said as she put all the
invitations in the mailbox. "I'll have to hurry if I want to finish all the
costumes for them." 




*  *  *
 



	Ryouga kept walking as he read the invitation given by Kasumi. He hefted
the box that came with the letter. It said that there was a Halloween party
tomorrow. It also said to not worry about the costume. Kasumi already made
everyone costumes. <Hmmm.. I wonder what costume Kasumi's made me. I wish
that she made me a prince costume and Akane the princess.> Ryouga stopped
in his tracks, closed his eyes and daydreamed about Akane. 
	
{The doors burst open as Ryouga enters through the Dojo doors. A sudden
gust of wind ripples his long black cape. Akane is sitting there staring up
at him with stars in her eyes. Her beautiful white gown shimmered as she
stood up to meet him. Ryouga strides to his beloved and takes her in his
arms. He laughs at Ranma who is sitting at the corner looking at them. 

	"Mwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!" 

	"Oh Ryouga! My prince charming! You have come to me at last!" Akane hugged
him and kissed Ryouga on the cheek. He stroked her soft hair.

"Oh Akane!"

"Oh Ryouga!"}

	Ryouga giggled hysterically. He opened his eyes and stared. A white poodle
glared at him. He immediately let go of the dog and stumbled backwards. An
extremely mad owner glared at him like the dog. She raised her umbrella and
smacked him right at the face. 

	The last thing Ryouga remembered was a black umbrella and the words that
sounded like, "Pervert!"




*  *  *



	Tatewaki Kunou is sitting inside his meditation room. He opens his right
eye and sees the poster of Akane Tendo smashing bricks. 

	"Oh Akane, your strength and beauty surpasses the shining of the morning
light."

	He closes his right eye and opens the other. He sees the poster of the
pig-tailed girl in a very sexy nightgown.

	"Ah, but the pig tailed girls beauty and charisma beats the irresistible
mystery of the moon." Kunou sighs and drops his head. "How can one choose
between the sun and the moon?" <It is really hard to be loved by two
beautiful women. I cannot break both of their precious hearts.>

	He raises his head and grabs both posters to him. "I shall have them
both!"

	A timid knock at the door stopped Kunou. He carefully laid both posters on
his chair and said, "Enter."

	Sasuke enters with a white envelope in his hands and a box. "Um, master,
there is an invitation from the Tendo dojo addressed to you my lord." He
hands the envelope to Kunou and bows. 
	
	"It must be from my love, Akane Tendo to invite me on a date this
afternoon." He touches his hair and says, "Akane Tendo, you have seen the
light at last."

	"Leave me, Sasuke, I must meditate."

	Sasuke turns to leave then turned around to say something.

	"Um, master. I must tell you, Mistress Kodachi has also received one." 

	"What?! They have invited my insane sister to our date?!" He hurriedly
opens the letter and reads it aloud. "To Tatewaki Kunou, greetings! You are
invited to a Halloween party to be held at the Tendo Dojo. Be there at 2:00
p.m. please do not bother to buy a costume. I have made you the perfect
costume that suits you and your nature. The costume is mailed with the
letter. Please wear them. From: Kasumi Tendo."

	He ponders the letter and speaks up.

	"A Halloween party? Truly this event will not be successful if the Blue
Thunder does not arrive." Kunou curls his fingers into a fist and looks up.

	"Alas, I will gaze upon the beautiful face of my Akane Tendo and Pig
tailed girl."

{The door bursts open as Kunou enters the Tendo Dojo. His armor shines as
the light reflects over it. He removes his helmet and smile at the two
women staring up at him. His armor clinked as he walks to his loves. 

	"Oh Kunou! You have finally come to save us from the sorcerer, Ranma
Saotome!" the pig-tailed girl said as she rushed to Kunou's arms.

	"Oh Kunou! We have waited for you all night! At last you have graced us
with your presence!" Akane said as she too rushed to Kunou's arms. He
laughs hysterically and glares at the cowed Ranma at the corner. 

	"Be gone! Evil sorcerer!" Red beams shoot through Kunou's eyes. When the
smoke was blown away by the wind. Ranma was nowhere to be seen, only his
red shirt was left of him.

	"Mwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!" He laughs as both girls tighten their hold
on Kunou.}

Kunou snaps out of his dream sequence and laughs again. 

"Mwahahahahahahaha!!!!!"

Sasuke bows his head in dismay. <Poor Master Kunou.> Sasuke sighs and
continues on listening to his Master.




*  *  *
    
 


	Kodachi twirled her ribbon and looked at the box beside her and the open
invitation on top of it. <Hmmm... I wonder what Kasumi Tendo has made for
me. > She lies down on her bed and continues twirling her ribbon.

	{It was very dark in the Tendo Dojo when Kodachi came. Her beautiful white
wedding gown sparkled with the moonlight. The lights slowly turn on and
from the far end of the room; her handsome Ranma was kneeling and waiting
in front of a priest. There was a red carpet starting in front of her feet
and ended where Ranma was. Other people were there. They were all kneeling
to her. Their adoring faces staring at her. She could see some people she
knew among her adorers. A short-haired tomboy, a purple haired Chinese
bimbo, a boy dressing girl wielding a huge spatula and many others staring
up to her and adoring her. 
	
	Music started and she slowly walked closer and closer to her beloved
Ranma. When she was beside him, he smiled and swept her off her feet and
said, "I cannot wait any longer, my love." With that, Kodachi laughed as
Ranma carried him out. 
	
	"Hohohohohohohohohohoho!!!"}

	Sasuke was out in the hallway leaning on the wall. From the corridors he
could hear both of his masters voices raised in laughter. 
	
	"Hohohohoho, Mwahahahahaha, Hohohohohoho, Mwahahahaha!!!!!"
	
	Again, he bowed his head. <Poor Master, poor Mistress. >
  




*  *  *




	Shampoo stood there reading the letter from Kasumi Tendo. With it were two
boxes, one for her and one for Mousse. She wondered what costume Kasumi has
made them. She sighed as she thought about her and Ranma.
	
{Shampoo entered the Dojo in a beautiful black kimono. Her head was timidly
bowed down as she entered. Ranma stood up. He was wearing a black gi
matching hers. He strode up to her and carried her in his strong arms. 
	
	"Marry me shampoo!!" Ranma said staring into her eyes.
	
	"Oh Ranma!! You really do love Shampoo!" Shampoo giggled cutely as she
playfully pinched Ranma's cheek, "You so forward! Hihihhihihi!!" 
	
	Shampoo put her tongue out at a glaring Akane as Ranma carried her out.}

	Shampoo was so happy. "Aiyaaaaa!!" she screamed and jumped. <Too bad great
grandmother not here.>




*  *  *



	
	Mousse wiped his hands as he finished washing the dishes. He sighed. He
touched a bump on his head. Shampoo had punted him into orbit when he asked
her on a date. <Shampoo, why can't you see that Ranma is a bad person?>
	
	He stopped as he heard Shampoo scream.
	
	"Aiyaaa!!" Shampoo held the invitation in her hands.
	
	Mousse came out from the kitchen expecting some kind of attack. He stopped
when he saw Shampoo looking at him. She was holding a white envelope all
crumpled up in her hands. She noticed the crumpled paper and lovingly
smoothed it out on the table.
	
	"What's that Shampoo?" He asked.
	
	"This invitation from Kasumi. There Halloween party in Dojo!" Shampoo
exclaimed then said, "There only one problem."

	"What's that Shampoo?" Mousse curiously asked.

	"Mousse invited too." Shampoo said dryly. She threw the box at him and
said, "That your costume. You not open that till Halloween party."

	Mousse picked up the box and thought. <A Halloween party?!>

	{A very ugly looking Ranma was cornering Shampoo. He laughed as she
screamed. 

	"Aiyaaa!! Mousse!! Help Shampoo!!!" 

	The ugly looking Ranma advanced again on shampoo. Then, a blue and red
blur knocked the beast Ranma out of the door. The blue and red blur stopped
and posed. The wind ruffled Mousse's red cape. He was wearing red boots;
blue leggings and a blue long sleeved fitted shirt. On the shirt was a big
letter, M. On top of the blue leggings he wore a red brief. His whole body
was incredibly buffed up. 

	Shampoo jumped into his arms and started kissing Mousse on his cheeks. 

	Mousse laughed ecstatically and flew out from the dojo carrying Shampoo.
"Mwahahahahahaha!!!!"}

Mousse chortled and carried Shampoo in his arms. He started to go out into
the street when he felt cold water thrown at him. 

"Quack!! Quack!!" Mousse said looking up at Shampoo.

Shampoo scowled down at him and threw a pan at him. The pan hit with a loud
�

CLANG!--. 

"Stupid Mousse." Shampoo said and hurried into her room.




*  *  *




	It was the day of Halloween; the people could hear screams of anguish and
some screams of joy all over Nerima.





*  *  *




	"Aaaahhhhhhrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!"

	Ryouga's head was bowed down so no one could see his face. He was walking
the streets of Nerima and everyone was looking at him. <Why? Did I do
something to you Kasumi?> Ryouga thought. He knew Kasumi didn't really mean
on offending him, she didn't know about his curse.

	He continually walked aimlessly, knowing that he usually gets to the Dojo
when he does. He felt a slight pull on his costume at the back.
A little kid was pulling the tail of his costume. "Look Mommy!! The big
pink pig is looking at me!!!" The little kid pulled the hand of his mommy. 
The child's mom smiled apologetically and kneeled down to talk to his son.
"Son, now don't pull the nice little piggie's tail. 

	Ryouga looked down at the young boy and his mother and said in a dry tone,
"Oink, oink, oink." 

	The boy smiled and said to his mom, "Look mommy! The big piggy oinked at
me! Can I ride his back mommy?! Please!!??"

	The woman smiled apologetically at him again. Ryouga put his hand to his
head and said, "I would love to....hehehehehe. Hehehehehehehehe......<Why?
Maybe because I used too much water at their house or..or maybe I said
something wrong to her or..or maybe I messed up her kitchen or-this is
useless. > Ryouga went down on all fours.

	"Oink...oink...oink."





*  *  *

  


	
	Kunou was walking to the Tendo Dojo. Everyone was looking at him he
noticed. <Ah, I am such a magnet to people that they stare at me with stars
in their eyes. This costume was not what I expected...but it will do.> He
was wearing a white cloth that was hand sewn. Loose feathers fell from his
costume.

	"Sasuke." Kunou called.

	Sasuke trotted beside his master. He was a bit slow because a huge bamboo
pole was burdened on his back. Slung on his shoulder was very thick rope.
<Master Kunou really wants to impress the pigtailed girl and Akane Tendo.>
he thought.

	Kunou continued walking when something to his side caught his eye. A young
boy of about ten was wearing what looked like a Robin Hood costume. The boy
was holding a very huge bow; the arrowheads were suction cups instead of
being pointed metal. An idea ringed in his mind.

	Kunou approached the boy and said, "I will pay you five thousand yen for
that bow and arrow set you have boy."  

	The child looked at Kunou, then at the money. The boy grabbed the money
and left his bow and arrow set. Kunou thought he heard something like,
"Stupid diaper man."

	"Hmph, children these days are so disrespectful. No matter, the rising
star is not bothered by such pestilence." He picked up the bow and arrows
and went on his way, Sasuke trotting behind him.



					

*  *  *




	Kodachi Kunou skipped with joy as she held up her white dress. She was on
her way to the Tendo Halloween party. People were staring at her from all
directions. *Kasumi must've made a mistake in sending the costumes. But,
this will do. Ranma darling, prepare to fall under my spell!!* 

	"Ohohohohohohoho!!!!"




					
*  *  *



	
	Shampoo kicked Mousse away as she grumpily tugged her cape. She and Mousse
were headed to the Tendo dojo. Shampoo wanted to go alone, but she couldn't
get Mousse away from her especially when he found out what his costume was.

"Aiyaaa! I no understand why Kasumi make me such costume!"
	
	"I AM ALIVE!!!!! Shampoo!! Wait for me! I shall fly you to the moon!"
Mousse called from about twenty feet from Shampoo. 
	
	Shampoo ignored Mousse and kept on jumping from roof to roof, not looking
back.

	Mousse leaped from roof to roof, holding his cape high so that it
fluttered with the wind. *Thank you so much Kasumi! Because of you, Shampoo
and I will be much closer! * 
	
	He giggled, not able to contain his happiness. "Shampoo!! My Love! Let me
hold you in my strong arms!!!" Mousse continued on chasing Shampoo, his
smile growing broader by the minute. 





*  *  *



	
	"Now isn't that nice. It's looks really cute on you Ranma." Kasumi said
patting Ranma on the back.

	Ranma sighed and said in a whisper, "I'm doomed."

	"What was that Ranma?" Kasumi said by the door.

	"Oh, hehe nothing."

	Kasumi looked at him then said, "Now turn around."

	Ranma grudgingly did and faced the maker of his costume.

	"So, uh, what's Akane wearing?" Ranma asked.

	"Oh, Akane insisted that she make her own costume so I let her." 

	"Why didn't I do the same?" Ranma said shaking his head.

	"What's that Ranma?" 

	"Nothing." Ranma said. <Akane couldn't possibly make a costume. I wonder
what she's wearing>

	Kasumi tapped her fingers on her cheeks and said, "Hmmm... there's
something missing..." 

	Ranma waited, as Kasumi looked him up and down. He looked in horror as she
pulled out something for his costume.

	Kasumi walked to him the dreadful thing in her hands. Every step made
Ranma shrivel up inside. His eyes were fixed on the thing in Kasumi's hand.
She smiled as she tied the string to the back of Ranma's head. There was
one thing in his mind, <No, no, no... why? >

	Ranma had seen the thing in her bag, but didn't tell Kasumi so that she
would forget about it. But of course, who could say no to Kasumi? 

	"You really do look cute wearing a snout Ranma."

	"Yeah, yeah...." 

	A faint voice could be heard from outside the room.

	"Ranma! Can I see your costume now?" Akane said from outside.

	"NO WAY!! Don't come in!" Ranma said, but was too late because Kasumi had
opened the door.

	Akane stared at him with big eyes.

	Ranma waited as she continued on staring. He noticed she hasn't worn her
costume yet. 

	As if like a huge dam, Akane burst out laughing. 

	"Okay, okay, you've seen me, now stop laughing already."

	Akane didn't notice him and continued on laughing, her eyes watery from
the exertion. She looked at him again and continued laughing, her hands on
her stomach. Ranma thought she was trying to say something, but her words
were swallowed up by her laughter. This went on for about five minutes, and
she finally stopped and looked at him trying to stop snickers.

	Akane approached him and put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't
worry Ranma, you look cute," Akane said walking to the door. She stopped
just outside of the room and added; "Now all you need is a bandanna and you
can be my pet! Hahahaha!" She said running as Ranma followed her.

	Ranma stopped when she went down the stairs and said, "Tomboy!"

	A large pan hit Ranma square on the face, followed by a loud, "Pig!"




*  *  *



	
	Soun and Genma were in front of the mirror, wearing their costumes.

	Genma was wearing a mustache and a black wig.

	"This is a great idea Tendo!"

	Soun was wearing a pair of glasses and a white cloth to cover his head. He
also had a piece of scotch tape to cover his moustache.

	"Thanks Saotome."

	"Even the master wouldn't be able to tell the difference." Genma said
looking in the mirror.
	
	Soun nodded and said, "You're right, now the only thing left is...."
	
	They removed their gi's and handed it to each other, making Genma wear a
brown one while Soun wore a white one.

	They looked at each other and shook hands.
	
	"Well, hello there Mr. Tendo!" Soun said.

	"Hello there too, Mr. Saotome!" Genma said.

A Ranma 1/2 Fanfic

Halloween

CHAPTER 2



Ranma, Soun, Genma, and Kasumi were waiting downstairs for Nabiki and Akane
to come down. 

	"Jeez, wonder what's taking _her_ so long." Ranma said taking off his
snout.
	
"Nabiki is helping her Ranma."
	
"Well, she--" Ranma was cut off as Akane appeared from her room.
	
Akane went down the stairs with a wide grin and a slight red in her cheeks.
Everyone stared at her beautiful costume, especially Ranma. She was wearing
what looked like a Greek goddess's clothes. Laces of the color blue and
white entwined her hair. He looked on as Akane went down the stairs. He
barely even noticed Soun saying, "Oh, how beautiful my baby is! If only
your mother could see you! I am so proud!"
	
Ranma kept on looking at Akane; he felt his cheeks burning. He snapped out
of it when he heard Nabiki speak.
	
"Hey, Ranma, you're matching the color of your costume there." He looked at
Nabiki and saw her wearing a black cocktail dress.
	
All eyes turned on him. He hastily covered his cheeks and said without
thinking, "No way! I'm only surprised that she actually _made_ a cost--"
Ranma was stopped by a huge mallet on his head.
	
"Whatcha do that for!"
	
Akane glared at him and said, "Serves you right."



*  *  *



After a while, the Tendos and Saotomes were patiently waiting for the
others in the dojo. Kasumi entered and fixed all the food and drink on a
table they had moved there. The door burst open and a figure with a long
cape stood in the doorway. The figure struck a pose as the wind rushed by,
accentuating the figure's huge muscles. Then he stopped when a familiar
bonbori followed by a high pitched voice was heard. 
	
Shampoo kicked Mousse inside and said, "Stupid Mousse!"
	
Mousse turned to Ranma and said, "Shampoo! Let me hug you in my masculine
arms!" Mousse leaped at Ranma and was punched on the nose.
	
Shampoo looked around the room and saw Ranma. She immediately ran to him
and jumped in his arms. 
	
"Aiyaa! Ranma looks so cute in piggie suit!"
	
Shampoo cuddled deeper into Ranma's arms and said smiling and a in a more
serious voice, "Let Shampoo show Ranma how strong she really is."
	
"I, uh, I-" 
	
An enraged Akane threw Ranma out the door. He stood up and shouted back.
	
"Tomboy!" he dusted himself off and looked around to see a familiar guy
wandering in front of the house. 
	
"Ryouga!" Ranma called.
	
Ryouga looked in Ranma's direction and started running up to him, his fist
extended. 
	
"Ranma!!!!" 
	
Ranma started to get into form. Both advanced at each other and froze in
their steps when light finally showed their costumes. 
	
"You?!"
	
"What?!"
	
They melted and pointed at each other.
	
They looked at each other and at the same time, exploded into laughter. 
	
	"Mwahahaha!!!"
	
"Bwahahahaha!!"

"What are you laughing at!" they both said.
	
Ranma looked Ryouga over and said, "You're finally showing your true color
P-chan."
	
"What?! I'm wearing pink and---hey!!! Shut up Ranma!" 
	
	"Ooohh, the big piggie's mad!!!" Ranma taunted.

	"I'll get you for that!!" 

	"Wow, it can even shout!" Ranma grinned, pointing at Ryouga in a weird
manner.

	"Why you!!!"

	Ranma and Ryouga chased each other around the dojo, each trying their best
to taunt the other.




					*  *  *




	Everyone was now settled in the dojo and was waiting for the only people
left on the list; Kodachi and Kunou.

	"Will you two just stop it!?" Nabiki shouted.
	
Ryouga and Ranma looked at her with smug expressions. They let go of each
other and dusted their costumes off. Then Ryouga felt something wrong and
touched his tail.
	
"Ranma!!!!! You ruined my tail!!!" Ryouga shouted showing Ranma his crooked
tail.
	
Ranma smirked at him and said, "Oh no! The widdle piggie's mad!" he said
putting his tongue at him.
	
"SHUT UP!!!" Ryouga shouted.
	
Ranma ignored Ryouga and stood there, making different faces.
	
"Oohhh, the piggie's mad. Oink, oink, oink." Ranma made gestures with his
hand and said, "C'mere widdle piggy..." Ranma kept on teasing Ryouga and
didn't notice him shaking.
	
Ryouga was shaking with anger and he was nearly going to burst. He suddenly
stopped his advance on Ranma when a huge plate hit Ranma on the face.

"Whatcha do that for!!!"

"Stop picking on Ryouga Ranma!" Akane said.
	
Ryouga smiled at Ranma and sat down.
	
Ranma nursed his bruised head and sat down. 
	
Everything was silent for a while. Then something happened. 
	The lights suddenly turned off and a spotlight shone in an empty part of
the dojo near the open doors. A figure literally flew down from the sky and
struck a pose. The spotlight moved to the figure and everyone gasped. 
	
Kodachi Kunou was hanging from a rope tied to her waist, wearing a very
silly looking fairy dress with small wings at the back. She held a wand
that had a star on the end. 
	
"Hohohohoho!!! Come, my darling Ranma, fall under my spell!" Kodachi struck
a pose again and started to speak.
	
"I-"
	
Kodachi was cut off when the spotlight moved from her to the other end of
the room. Everyone turned around and gasped at the sight in front of them.
	
Tatewaki Kunou was suspended on a rope tied at his waist. He was wearing
nothing except what looked like a tablecloth tied at the back. He was
carrying a bow and arrow. He struck one of those cupid poses and said,
	
"Mwahahahaha!!! Akane! Let me shoot you with my arrows of _love!_" Kunou
started to advance on Akane when a star wand hit him right on his face.
	
"Owwww!!!! Who dares hit the god of love?!" Kunou looked around the room
and saw Kodachi smiling at him, "What is my vile sister doing here?!
Ruining my entrance?!!!!" 
	
Kunou strung his bow and shot a suction cup arrow across the room, pinning
Kodachi right at her forehead. She carefully took the dreadful arrow off
with a loud -plop-. Kodachi turned into a bright red as she searched her
person for something to throw at Kunou. She found one of her batons and
flung it at him. Kunou, not giving up, got another suction cup arrow and
shot Kodachi. 
	
Everyone watched while they kept on throwing different things at each
other, exchanging batons, arrows, hoops, sticks, and occasionally a male
Ranma thrown by Kunou, then a female Ranma catapulted by a laughing
Kodachi.



	Sasuke was having trouble holding on to the two ropes that extended to
both sides of the dojo. He wondered why his master and mistress kept on
tugging at the ropes. But he was sure something was going on down there
because he could hear noises from the dojo. Suddenly, he felt itchy and he
wanted to scratch his back. He looked at both ropes on each of his hands
held tightly to the ropes, trying to ignore the urge to scratch his back.
The itch still didn't stop and he was getting restless. By this time, his
master and mistress should've gone down in the dojo already. Then he felt
something, <No, I can't! I have to hold back!> But Sasuke couldn't stop it.

	"Aaacchoooo!!!!!" Sasuke let go of the ropes to cover his nose. When he
removed his hands, he just realized what he had just done. He heard loud
crashes and said, "Uh, oh....."




	Everyone watched in amusement as Kunou and Kodachi dusted themselves off
and glared at each other. Kunou took a deep breath, closed his eyes, fixed
his, uh, 'diaper' and for a while he seemed at peace, then he opened his
eyes and jumped at his pig-tailed goddess.

	"Oh pig tailed girl! How my heart has longed for thee!! Let me shed my
feelings of love!!" An annoyed Ranma quickly shut up Kunou by a strong
punch on the nose.
	
"Don't come near me." Ranma onna said, dusting her hands off, "I'm going to
get some hot water." With that, he left and headed to the kitchen.

	Akane frowned at Ranma's expression when he had said he was going to the
kitchen. Sure, Ranma had been mad before, but Akane had never seen him
looking really, really annoyed. She started to worry and quietly slipped
out of the dojo.

	


*  *  * 

	
	
	
	Akane looked around the kitchen and saw a kettle on the table. <Ranma's
been here.> She continued on and knocked on his door. When no one answered,
she opened it and no one was there. <Only one place left then.> Akane
thought. She climbed up on the roof and saw the one person she was looking
for. 

	"I didn't mean to walk out like that." Ranma said without looking back. 

	Akane came closer and sat down beside Ranma's slumped form. "It isn't your
fault Ranma. Kunou can be so annoying sometimes that you don't even bother
to beat him up."

	"It's not just that. It's everything!" Ranma said.

	Akane peered up at his face and saw a bewildered face looking up at the
sky. "What do you mean everything?" Akane tried hard to make her voice
soothing so that Ranma would open up to him. It seemed that it worked.

	Ranma's expression changed and he said, "Well, I just suddenly stopped and
thought that, will I be like this forever? I feel as if my life's going
round in circles! And..." Ranma was hesitating.

Akane reached out for his hand and said, "And what Ranma?"

	Ranma looked down at her and said, "And...and I don't know..." he said
with a small laugh.

	Akane stood up beside him and said, "Don't worry Ranma, things will get
better, it can't stay like this forever, y'know. Someday, our lives will
change and maybe when it does, we'll want it to go back the way it used to.
That's the way life is...I guess..."

	Ranma turned to her and smiled, somehow, her words made his heart feel
lighter. *Even her smile makes me feel better already...*

	They sat down and watched their guests scream at each other...
 
	


					*	*	*




	Somewhere in the dojo, different shouts could be heard.

	"What vile creature has stolen the pin to my costume?!!??"

	"Hey Kunou baby, mind covering yourself up there?"

	"Shampoo, come and feel my arms of steel!!!!"

	"Oh my!! I'm not Shampoo!"

	"Ai lan!!! Where you go?!! Mousse, go away!"

	*SPLASH*

	"Quack! Quack!"

	*SPLASH*

	"Meow!"

	"Ooops!"

	"Ah my darling Kodachi, cast your spell upon me! Oh well, where's my
student, Ranko?!"
	"Master! What are you doing here?"

	"Growf?!"

	"Ahhh!!! Stay away from me, old man!! Ohohohoho!!! Ranma-sama!! I'm
coming!!"

	"Growf?!"

"Arf!!"

"Aaaahhhhh!! Stay away from me!! I'm not your dinner!! Ranma!! Prepare to

"Arf!! Arf!!!"

	"Maybe we should stay up here for a while..." Akane said, smiling as they
observed the different people running about in the dojo.

	"Yeah...do you think I should change from this pig costume?" Ranma asked,
looking at his tail.

	Akane looked back at him and grinned, "Nah...besides, you look cute,
especially with your snout on!" she teased as she pulled Ranma's tail.

	"Hey! It's crooked enough." He stopped and embraced Akane, saying, "You
look beautiful tonight, my Greek goddess..." 

	"Well, you look adorable, you widdle piggie..."

	"This was a great Halloween, ne Akane?" 

	"U-huh, one of our best..."

	Then a brief moment of silence came between them as they held each other
in the cold night.

"Ranma?" Akane asked, breaking the silence.

"Yeah?"

"I-If you need any help, I mean, if you need anything, just ask me...I'll
be here..." Akane said, looking a bit embarrassed as a slight blush crept
up her cheeks.

	Ranma held her close and whispered, looking deep into her eyes as his
cheeks shone a bright pink, "All you have to do is smile, Akane..."

	 Akane looked up at him and sweetly smiled, blushing even more as Ranma
tilted her chin up and kissed her...

Author's Note:


	Hi! Sorry 'bout the big delay. Well, I finally finished Halloween!! I
don't know where that WAFFy scene came from near the end. Guess it's just
habit for me to insert at least one scene of WAFFiness ^_^  Well, I hope
you at least laughed even once! Someone told me it was a bit trippy, but oh
well! Anyway, it's my first attempt at a comedy [which ended up having a
WAFF scene.] Hmmm, maybe the characters were a little bit OOC, but I wrote
it like that and I really don't feel like editing this again, though this
is still a draft (?)

	I had chapter 1 lying around my page and I finally finished Chapter 2 when
I looked at my big pile of unfinished fics ^_^
