Dear Diary:

Well, that HENTAI did it again!  This morning on the way to school,
he insulted me and my clothes.  He said that he liked my dress.  He
KNOWS that my dress is a school uniform, I wear the same style dress
every day!  So I booted him to school, which made me feel better.  When
I got there, he was already in a fight with Kuno-sempei.  The same old
fight about pictures of Kuno-sempei's "osage no onna." Afterwards, Ranma
gave me some pictures of myself.  Nabiki and her pictures!  I feel sorry
for Kuno-sempei, he gets picked on by Ranma and my sister all the time.

On the way home from school, Ranma didn't say much.  I told him about
the play that the drama club was going to put on, and that I was
thinking of trying out for one of the parts.  He insulted me AGAIN!
He said that it was the only way an uncute, tomboy could meet guys.
That HENTAI!  Like he's one to talk.  He's got at least three
iinazukes and other girls who've got a crush on him.  And one of them
is insane!  Well, anyway, I knocked him off the fence and into the
ditch.  He jumped up and started yelling.  I just ignored him.  If he
likes girls so much, he can be one, for all I care.

And to top it off, Kasumi was going to let me cook tonight.  I spent
the rest of the afternoon, working in the kitchen.  I was going to
show Ranma that I could cook!  Not as good as Kasumi, but as good as
Ukyo or Shampoo.  When I brought out the curry and rice, everybody
was gone.  Didn't they know that I worked hard on their dinner?  I
tried to give some to P-chan, but he must have eaten something
earlier.  He wouldn't eat anything.  I ate the curry and rice, but
had to throw the rest out.  What a waste of food!

Well, diary, it's late and Ranma hasn't come home yet.  I last saw
him when I started cooking dinner.  He acted kind of funny, and said
that he had to go somewhere.  I just ignored him, but now I'm kind of
worried.  Did something happen?  I'm so tired, I can hardly stay
awake.  I'm a little worried, but I'm sure Ranma's o.k.  I'm going to
go to bed now, goodnight diary.

Dear Diary:

Tonight Ran-chan stopped by!  He came in and asked if he could have
some hot water.  I always have some on the stove, just for him.  He
seemed a little white, and then he told me how Akane was going to
torture everyone tonight.  Poor Ran-chan!  He has to live with Akane
and she takes advantage of him and makes him eat her cooking.  At
least he knows that he can get some real food from me!  I made him
one of his favorite okonomiyakis and he ate that in a flash.  We just
talked for a while.  He told me about his day at school and his
fights with Akane and Kuno-sempei.  The same thing happens almost
everyday to him.

Diary, it makes me so happy that he comes and talks with me.  It
feels great that he trusts me!  He's said a number of times, that he
tells me things that he doesn't tell anyone else.  Especially Akane.
It feels so good when I'm around him, but why does he stay with that
violent girl?  I'm much nicer, prettier and cook a heck of a lot
better.  I know, diary, it's slow going, but I want Ranma now.  Why
can't he see that I love him more than anyone else?  Well, he's going
to marry me!  I've been patient and I'll just keep on waiting.  I
know Ranma's going to choose me as his wife.

Goodnight, diary.  I know my dreams will have Ranma in them.

<Dear Diary:>

<My husband stopped by today for some ramen.  Of course, for him it
was free!  Great-grandmother was happy that he stopped by.  He even
talked with her about some more training and learning new techniques.
When she said that he had to take me out on a date first, he changed
the subject.  Why does he do that?  He knows that I'm pretty and  we
would have a great time on a date.  Great-grandmother just scared
him, probably.  We talked for a while, also!  It's been so long since
husband and I have had a chance to talk.  Usually, Mousse would
interrupt or Great-grandmother would want husband to do something
stupid.  He told me about how that violent girl was going to poison
him and that he barely escaped with his life!  I've saved the Tendo
family numerous times from her cooking.  Nabiki would make a call and
say that it was an emergency.  Which reminds me, no one called today.
I wonder why?>

<Mousse attacked husband just as he was leaving.  Stupid Mousse ended
up in the garbage again.  Husband is so strong and athletic.  He will
give me strong children when we return to China.  Great-grandmother
says to wait a little longer.  Husband will see that I'm the best
fighter, cook and most beautiful girl he knows.  He will come back
home with me soon.>

<Goodnight, diary>

Journal of Saotome Ranma

Beat pop in morning training.  Tricked me afterwards and dunked me in
pond.

Tried to complement Akane on way to school.  She kicked me the rest
of the way to school.

Kuno tried to get me to release the pig-tailed goddess, again.  He
dropped some pictures of me as a girl.  So, I beat him up and took
the pictures.  He had some of Akane, too.  I gave them to Akane and
tore up the ones of me.

Akane knocked me into the ditch on the way home from school.  Uncute,
sexless, tomboy!

Akane tried to poison everyone, again.  I left when I saw her going
into the kitchen.  Pop said that Nabiki had made arrangements for
everyone else, except me.  He said that I should learn to eat my
iinazuke's cooking.  I left after I knocked him into the pool.

I stopped at Uc-chan's.  She gave me some free okonomiyaki.  Talked
with her about my day, so far.  It feels good to have a best friend,
like Uc-chan.

I then stopped at the Neko-hanten and Shampoo gave me some free
ramen.  Asked Cologne if she would teach me any new techniques, but
all she wanted was for me to date Shampoo.  I said no and started
talking with Shampoo.  Beat up Mousse as I left.

Ryoga attacked me on the way home.  He was shouting something about
me leaving him to die.  It ended up with both of us getting splashed
by some old lady tossing water on the street.

I went back home and stayed up on the roof.  After thinking about the
day and Akane, I went back to my room.  Akane knocked on the door and
asked if I was o.k.  We talked for a bit and she went to bed.


Major events of the day:
   Turned into a girl four times
   Two free dinners
   Two fights, three if you count Akane

Overall rating for the day, great.  Akane smiled at me.
