Man....  Let me tell you...  It is _NOT_ a good idea to see if you can 
beat all four missions of Resident Evil 2 in a row...  I'm up to 
Claire's second scenario, the last one that I need to do, and that 
stupid....

"Hey...  Some poor souls might not have played it through yet!" Akane 
said testily, which sounds a lot like the 'Ranma pissed me off again' 
voice.

"It does not.  I have more range of motion then just 'Ranma pissed me 
off', and 'Ranma REALLY pissed me off'." Akane said, pouting rather 
cutely.

At the authors words, Akane smiled this wonderful smile, the kind of 
smile that most smiles can only dream of being.  The kind that fills the 
recipient with such warm, fuzzy, and cuddlly feelings, that you feel it 
necessary to hug the nearest person.

You know... a nice smile.

"Yeah, yeah... we get it...  Akane has a nice smile.  She still won't 
play any of the Resident Evil games...  She gets scared to easily." 
Ranma quipped, unable to bear the thought of that smile being turned on 
anyone other then him, jealousy crowding in his heart against the love 
that he felt for the woman standing before him.

"Hey!!!  Nobody said nothing about l...l... that!  Alls I said was that 
Akane gets scared playing those horror games.  Nothing more!" Ranma lied 
through his teeth, embarrassed by the depth and power of his love.  
Images of he and Akane danced through his head.  Laughing together, 
walking to the movies, sharing a dinner, playing cards by candlelight, 
Ranma washing Akane's hair gently as he kissed her softly on the neck.

"Wha!!!  Stop that!!!  Get out of my head!!!"  Ranma looked back to 
Akane, waving his arms furiously, trying to hold off the assalt that he 
knew was coming.

"Ran... ran... Ranma?  Is this true?  Do you really want to do all those 
things?" Akane asked in a whisper, awed by the sheer romantic depths of 
Ranma's soul.

"Well... ummm.... err...."  Ranma blushed nervously, like a man that has 
had all his secret fantasies torn out and laid bare to the woman he 
loves.  "Well, duh, Jon.  You just did exactly that..."

Oh... yes....  It seems I did.  Oh well.

Anyway, Ranma sat there, doing the index finger tap that only 
embarrassed anime characters can do well, while Akane looked at him, her 
eyes shimmering.

"Oh Ranma.... I love you so much it scares me sometimes..." she 
whispered so that only he could hear.  The author, being omniscient, 
however, heard it anyway.

"Really?" Ranma asked quietly, afraid to ruin the mood.  Slowly, he 
reached out his hand, taking hers gently, and pulling her softly towards 
him.

They kissed a kiss that would go down in history as being the kind of 
kiss that all other kisses aspire to be.  Love, passion, tenderness, 
desire, all mixed together in one eternally short moment.

And then the universe shattered.

"Omedito!" Ryoga said, clapping.

"Omedito!" echoed Kasumi, applauding the still kissing couple.

"Omedito!" cried Soun and Genma, leaning on each other as tears ran down 
their face.  They too, were applauding.

Suddenly, the author realized that this was really just a bad rip of one 
of the worst endings he had ever seen, and decided to stop it right 
there.

And so the universe reformed.

Ranma and Akane were still kissing, and that was getting kind of 
distracting... especially the way their hands were moving.  Urgently, 
desperately, and I'm sure there was some throbbing and pulsating going 
on somewhere, but I leave that kind of stuff up to Kun-chan.  So, in an 
effort to get to bed faster, the author opened a dimensional rift, and 
sent the kissing couple off.

In his haste, the author forgot to check what dimension he was sending 
them to, but I'm a bit to tired right now to figure that one out, so 
I'll do it later.

"Gee... _That's_ a copout if ever I heard one." Nabiki said, smiling 
slightly, predatoraly.

You know, Nabiki, that smile should be illegal.

"Really?  And why is that?" she drolled charmingly.  But then again, 
this is me we're talking about.  Just about everything Nabiki does is 
charming.

"You're almost worse then Kuno, Jon...  You know that?  Now, why should 
my smile be illegal?"

Because it's too much like Mary Tyler Moore's.

"Huh?"

You could turn the world on with that smile.

"Really?" Nabiki piped cutely, beaming with the compliment.

Well, not too sure about the rest of the world, but you are defintly 
turning me on...

"Ecchi!"

Yeah...

"But at least you're nice about it." Nabiki said as she leaned over to 
give the author a kiss on the cheek, just because he was nice today.

"Now don't push it."

Yes ma'am.

		--THE END--

Anyone else here?

No?

Good.

Lessee... Fixed up Ranma and Akane, ported them to another dimension, so 
I can start on that other fic, and got a kiss from Nabiki.  All in all, 
pretty damn good.

I'm going to sleep now, and if I dream, may I not wake up.

Good Night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are!
