Remember this is a screenplay, and you are the head animater. To get the most
out of this story you should try to imagine what the scene should look
like if you were going to actualy produce the story.

A few abbriviations.

        POV = Point of view
        BGM = Back Ground Music
        SFX = Sound effects (Normaly Special effects, but in
              animation, everything is special.)
        FX  = Effects, such as rotates and desolves between scenes,
              some times POV fly throughs that are so much a part
              of fun anime.

Deep breath. Here goes!

                                RYOGA (in Akane's voice and body)
                        WHAT? oh, no
                        Ah...well...

                                RYOGA (in Akane's body) (to himself, in his
own voice)
                        Akane-san, we'll keep this secret from him.

                                RYOGA (in Akane's voice and body)
                        I can't tell you.

                        RANMA!,
                        You must never reveal...

        RANMA-CHAN
                 gets up to leave, opens the door and stops partway through

                                RANMA-CHAN
                        Akane, your secret is safe with me.

                                RYOGA (in Akane's voice and body)
                        Eh?

                                RANMA-CHAN
                        I'm the last person to tell Ryoga.
                        I'm really very good at secrets!
                        Akane, don't be worried, Ryoga will turn up.
                        And anyway, P-chan should be showing up any time now.

        RANMA-CHAN
                 closes the door

                                RYOGA (in Akane's voice and body)
