This story started when i began thinking, what would it be like if Ranma and
Akane met on regular terms?  The story i came up with has some twists to it,
that keep with the original story, but change because of small diffrences in
main charictors personalitys! enjoy, and sorry about my spelling!

If you're REALLY sorry about it, how about using a spell-check program,
or getting someone to edit it before release?

OK, I've run out of patience with this. Before you post again, please
get yourself a spell-check program, or (preferably) a human editor. If
you're not going to make an effort to make this readable, I'm not going
to make an effort to read it.

As for the story, it wasn't very interesting to me. Not only did it
resemble a lot of other fics, but there just wasn't much conflict. Ranma
trying to win Akane from Kuno is a possible conflict, and that's good,
but apart from that there isn't much.
