Well, I read a cry for songfics and this one was approaching final revision,
so I'm posting it. This was something that popped into my head on the way
to my aunt's while listening to the radio. Enjoy!
Alanis Morissette wrote and performed
Head over Feet, I in no way make claim to it.
Rumiko Takahashi owns Ranma 1/2 again, I make
no claim to it.
Head over Feet
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
{See a collage of shots with Ranma trying to say
'I'm sorry' with Akane standing over him with a
mallet.}
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
{See Ranma breaking Akane's and his fall during
the Martial Arts Skating tournament, and Ranma
fighting Saffron to save Akane.}
(chorus)
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
{See Akane fall while lethargically stumbling upstairs,
only to have Ranma catch her before she hit the ground.
He smiles at her, and they're eyes are drawn to each
others. A glass of water that Akane had been carrying
chose that moment to fall out of her hands and splash
onto Ranma. The change took hold but Akane's eyes never
waver or falter.}
Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
{See Ranma fighting the Yamata no Orchi as a female,
and barely evading being eaten.}
(repeat chorus)
You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
{See Ranma flip the cure for the super Sobas to Akane;
see Ranma head down, face red, hold the
door open for Akane.}
You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long
{See Akane rant at Ranma while unconscious from a mallet
blow. See a collage of shots of Ranma saving and rescuing
Akane. See the Romeo and Juliet kissing scene, then fade
to Akane sitting alone on her bed, holding the picture frame
that Ranma gave her; a sad, thoughtful look on
her face.}
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now
{See Ranma and Akane standing at an altar, both _very_ nervous
as they exchange their vows, cut to a scene of Akane and
Onna-Ranma kissing, then fade to a middle-age Akane sitting
on a couch and going through a photo album with a middle-age
Ranma, both smiling as they saw picture after
picture of their school days.}
(repeat chorus)
Shadowstryker, AKA Strife
As all life is wrought with strife, so am I Named
Accept the Truth, Embrace your Fate
Welcome, The Horsmen
I am Death, I am, Oblivion
