Bile Studio Presents:
Personalities Too: Ranma and Akane
by Jang Choe
Ranma: (Narrating) It finally came, my own Personalities fanfic.
Actually, Akane is co-starring in here with me also, but still,
it is still good. Both of our parents decided on our wedding
date. I don't know if I'm ready or not, and I don't know if I
can get rid of my other fiancees. If I were to choose a few
years ago, I would have probably chosen Ukyo. I knew her the
longest even though I thought she was a boy half of our lives.
But now, I don't know who to choose. Shampoo is really using
desperate measures now to get to me; she knows that I'm going to
be taken, and Kodachi? Who the cares about her anyway? She's
one messed up psycho. Anyway, me and Akane are suppose to marry
next year, or so our fathers say.... Well, it's time to eat,
lets go.
[The door bell rings.]
Nabiki: I'll get it, as always. (Slowly, lazily gets up and
goes towards the door.)
[A few minutes later]
Nabiki: (Off stage) (Sighs) RANMA!! SOMEONE'S HERE TO KILL YOU
AGAIN!
Ranma: Which one?
Nabiki: (Off stage) Ummmm... oh yeah, MOUSSE!
Ranma: (Comes towards them) Okay Mousse, you want to fight
again? I'm surprised since I beat you even after you trained.
Mousse: What are you talking about? Shampoo helped you, you ass
hole!
Ranma: Whatever, come on make this quick. I'm hungry, and
lunch is almost ready.
Mousse: I didn't come here to fight, I came here to talk with
you.
Ranma: What?
Kasumi: (Pops out of nowhere) Oh my, another one of your friends
Ranma? Maybe he like to join us for lunch.
Mousse: Thank you Kasumi. Come, lets talk it over lunch,
Ranma. (Puts arm around Ranma.)
Ranma: Er, okay fine. Why are you putting your arms around
Kasumi? I thought you liked Shampoo.
Mousse: (Reddens and quickly removes his hands) No, I LOVE
Shampoo, and I have mistaken her for you.
Ranma: HUH?!
Mousse: Never mind. (Shakes head)
[They all walk to the dining room. Ranma, Nadoka, Genma,
Nabiki, Soun, Akane, Kasumi, and Mousse are eating. Everybody is
glad that Akane didn't cook, even though she insisted.]
Soun: So, Ranma. Are you ready for the big day?
Ranma: What big day?
Genma: The wedding!
Ranma: Oh, that.
Soun: What do you mean "Oh, that"? Your marriage is next year!
Ranma: Well, yea. But it's still a long way off. And I'm not
that excited to marry that tomboy of yours.
Akane: Excuse me??!! (Picks up table) A Tomboy?
Nadoka: Akane, good wives don't solve problems by physical
means.
Akane: (Sets down the table. Amazingly, the foods are still in
the right place) (Whispering) Look who's talking, she the one
who chased them around with the katana. Besides, she beats up
her husband all the time. (Normal voice) Well, I still don't see
why I have to marry that pervert.
Ranma: Oh, you're still mad about that incident last week!
Well, if you lock your door..
Akane: Well, you probably peek out from the window.
Ranma: Who'd want to look at you?!
Mousse: (thinking) Maybe this is the wrong time to come and
visit.
[They argue for a couple more hours and they finally calm
down. They are still having lunch.]
Mousse: (Thinking) Hmmmm, maybe they're calm now, I think I'll
ask Ranma. (Out loud) You, Ranma!
Ranma: Me Ranma, you Mousse! (Hits chest)
Mousse: Ha ha, anyway, I came here to ask about something.
Ranma: What?
Mousse: How do you get Shampoo to love me?
Ranma: Why are you asking me?
Mousse: Because Shampoo loves you and she doesn't love me.
Ranma: All I did was accidentally beat her in combat.
Mousse: Yes, but there's more than that! Remember the incident
with the contrary jewel? When you beat her when she was wearing
the brooch the wrong way, she didn't actually eagerly jump into
your arms.
Ranma: Well, I guess it's my charm. I don't know Mousse.
Akane: What charm?
Kasumi: Well Mousse, if your having trouble, I'll help you.
Mousse: (A little shocked) You will? Wh.. Why?
Kasumi: Because you sound like you really love Shampoo. And it
seems that you need help with love. Besides, Ranma is getting
married next year, and she will be so much trouble to Ranma and
Akane.
Mousse: (Thinking) Did I just get dissed by Kasumi? Oh well,
who cares. As long as Shampoo loves me in the end.
Nabiki: Speaking of which, daddy, I'm getting married to Kuno
tomorrow.
Soun: That's nice Nabiki. (Eats some more rice)
Soun: Wait a minute..
Nabiki: What's wrong daddy?
Soun: Why haven't you told me this?
Nabiki: Because you'll disagree with me.
Soun: You are not ready to make your own decisions!
Nabiki: Are you saying that I'm immature? (Glares at Soun)
Soun: Oh no, I didn't mean that!
Nabiki: Oh, yea you did DADdy.
Soun: No, please Nabiki, I didn't... (Sobs)
Ranma: (Aside) Looks like she won again.
[After lunch is finished, the usual Ranma 1/2 stuff happens.
A few hours has passed and Ranma goes to the porch and sits
down.]
Akane: Ranma? (Narrating) I never saw him like that, I guess
he's nervous about the wedding even though it's a year away. I
wonder what he's thinking about? Do you know? I don't, I guess
he surely has much things to think about. Look at him, sitting
there alone, looking at the stars. Heh, I remember when I used
to do that in my room, but Ranma always popped up from the window
and annoyed me. Ranma rarely does that to me now... which is
nice, but not the same... (decides to go to Ranma after looking
at him for a few minutes)
(Speaking) Ranma, what's wrong?
Ranma: Oh, hey. (Sighs) I don't know... the whole marriage
thing, we're only 18 right now. I never wanted to marry so
soon.
Akane: Well, people married at a much younger age long time
ago...
Ranma: Well, this is the 90's... my friends at my school are
not thinking about marriage, they are thinking about colleges,
dates, and other stuff.
Akane: Well, we probably can marry later if we tell our dads.
Ranma: (Turns and looks at Akane) You really want to marry me?
Akane: When did I say that?!
Ranma: You said, "we probably can marry later.." or something
like that. That means you really want to marry me?
Akane: Where do get the assumption of I wanting to marry you
from that?
Ranma: Well, you did say, "We can probably marry."
Akane: Oh please, Ranma.
[They both stare at the serene sky, with whatever stars they
can see through the city lights.]
Akane: Ranma, do you want to marry me?
Ranma: Huh?
Akane: I said do you want to marry me?
Ranma: Ummm...
Akane: Oh well, you don't need to answer now. Oh, I cooked your
dinner. (Smiles) It's in the kitchen, you can go get it.
Ranma: Uh... where.. is.. it?
Akane: On the counter.
Ranma: Okay... (Ranma goes to the kitchen) Oh crap, she cooked
something for me... what should I do? Should I make something
right now and replace it with hers or what?
[All of a sudden, a duck flies in.]
Ranma: (Notices Mousse-duck) What? A duck?
[The duck flies to the kitchen, turns on the hot water and
instant Mousse.]
Ranma: Whaaa!!!! What do you want Mousse?
Mousse: (Pulls out a uniform out from his hair and wears it) Is
Shampoo here?
Ranma: No, why?
Mousse: She's doing that love potion bit again.
Ranma: Oh..
Mousse: I must have Shampoo eat it, so she'll love me...
Ranma: Okay Mousse, whatever you say... But it's not so fun
Shampoo chasing you around all the time.
Mousse: That would be my dream Ranma, you simply don't know the
love I have for Shampoo.
Ranma: Well well, they're here.
Shampoo: Ranma!! (Grabs onto him.)
Ranma: Hey, Shampoo...
Akane: (Angry) Ranma.....
Shampoo: Ranma, I make good chow mein for you... you eat now,
yes?
Ranma: Uhhh, Shampoo...
Akane: Ranma! I already cooked you a perfectly good meal!!
(Points at the slop on the counter)
Mousse: That's right Ranma, you can eat you fiancee's cooking.
While me and Shampoo can eat her chow mein.
Ranma: Uhhhh, I think I'll take my chances with Shamp...
Akane: (Kicks Ranma through the roof) I'm sure you would try it
at least!!!
Ranma: (Flying through the air) That was so predictable.... Oh
yes, my patented devil pose... (Gets in his pose)
Takahashi: Actually, I made that up...
Mousse: Well, Shampoo? I'll would love to eat your chow mein.
Shampoo: Humph, this not for you Mousse, it for Ranma.
Kasumi: (Comes in and joins them) Well, since he's not here,
I'll have it Shampoo.
Shampoo: No, I wait till Ranma come back.
Kasumi: But it'll get cold...
Akane: Kasumi, you can eat the meal I prepared for Ranma.
Kasumi: (!) Well Akane, that's very sweet of you... I would...
[Right on cue, Ranma crashes back down to the Tendo Dojo.]
Kasumi: Oh hello Ranma, nice of you to drop in. (Phew) You must
eat Akane's cooking to make her happy at least.
Akane: That's okay Kasumi, I'll just throw it away since he
doesn't want it. Unless you want it, sis.
Ranma: (Quietly) I'll eat the food.
Akane: No you don't!
Ranma: (Sighs) Yes I do, I was kidding about that... phrase
earlier..
Shampoo: No!! I cooked this for you Ranma, you eat this, no
Akane's horrible cooking!!
Kasumi: I'll fix everybody something (Goes into the kitchen)
Shampoo: You promise you eat this Ranma?
Ranma: Yeah yeah Shampoo, sheesh.
Akane: What about mine!!!?
Ranma: (Blowing up) I'll eat yours too, okay?!
Nabiki: (From upstairs) Will you guys be quiet? I'm trying to
study for my Physics exam okay?
Shampoo: Ranma eat this now!
Mousse: (Thinking) I can't stand it!!!! (Takes Shampoo's bento
and runs off)
Shampoo: Mousse! Give that back to Shampoo!!
Ranma: (Thinking) Thanks Mousse, (Speaking) Now, only if you
can take away Akane's cooking.
Akane: (Rasing the sleeve of her blouse) RANMA!!
Ranma: Doh! I thought the speaking part and said the thinking
part. (Flies thorough the roof from Akane's punch)
(Thinking) That is the last Akane food joke I'll make... for
today at least.
Akane: That jerk.. why does he hate me that much? Is a too
afraid to say it? How can he always do this to me again? Does
he even like me? Why does he always insult me? Always making
smart remarks since the day we met. Well, not really, I thought
he was a girl that time. Too bad, we could have been great
friends if he was a girl. Still, he is not too bad.. only if he
was more sensitive and caring...
Ranma: (Outside of Akane's window, balancing on something)
Akane... I'm sorry...
Nadoka: (From the ground and see Ranma up on Akane's window)
Ranma! What are you doing up there?
Ranma: Mom!
Akane: Ranma? (Looks outside and sees him) You jerk!! (Gets
out her bokken) How dare you peep me!! (Wacks him across the
face with the bokken.)
Ranma: (Blood dripping from his cheek) Akane...
Akane: (Not noticing) YOU JERK! YOU HEARD EVERYTHING I SAID!!
(Wildly swings her bokken and hits Ranma off guard on the side of
the head. Ranma falls a few feet down and knocks out) That
insensitive jerk! (all of a sudden, she shed tears) How can he
spy on me?! (sobs more and looks outside) Why does he always do
that?! I can't stand him! (Wipes tears) Is he always that
insensitive?!
Nadoka: (Looking at unconscious Ranma's body) Oh dear... we must
take him to Dr. Tofu...
[At Doctor Tofu]
Nadoka: I'm sorry Doctor for coming this late...
Dr. Tofu: That's all right Mrs. Saotome. Lets see, Ranma is
not that badly hurt, he's just knocked out. That cut on his
cheek is not that deep either. Oh look, he's coming around.
Ranma: Where.. am.. I?
Nadoka: At Doctor Tofu's
Ranma: Oh..
Dr. Tofu: I guess Akane was a little too rough on you huh?
(Smiles)
Ranma: How did you know?
Dr. Tofu: Oh, it WAS Akane?
Nadoka: Now, he fell two stories, are you sure he's okay?
Dr. Tofu: Just a few bruises, and that's it.
Nadoka: You sure he won't be needing any ointment for that cut
on his cheek?
Ranma: Ma...
Dr. Tofu: Well, I guess that band-aid would do.
Nadoka: And he was hit pretty hard on the head, are you sure his
head is fine?
Ranma: Mom...
Dr. Tofu: Yes, see? It's just a bump...
Nadoka: Do you have anything that'll make it heal faster?
Ranma: (Getting a little annoyed) Mom, I'm all right...
Dr. Tofu: Yes, I believe so, I'll go get it.
Ranma: I'm fine, Mom. Look (Gets up from the bed-thingy) See?
(Does some warm up exercises) Ouch, my back.
Nadoka: No, you are not okay. I don't want my son to be a
cripple when he gets married.
Ranma: Mom, don't be ridiculous.
Dr. Tofu: (Coming in) Here it is. Now, hold still Ranma..
(Puts the ointment on)
Ranma: Owwww!!!
Nadoka: Hush, is that how a man who is going to marry soon
suppose to act like?
[Back at the Tendo Dojo.]
Akane: Oh please, don't be dead don't be dead.
Nabiki: Nice going, you just killed your fiancee.
Akane: Nabiki, are you really marrying Kuno?
Nabiki: No, I was just kidding. But Daddy made it a big deal..
Besides, I have college to worry about.
Akane: Yeah, you're lucky that you don't have to worry about
marriage.
Nabiki: Well, at least you're getting over with it. We probably
have to go through with this when we are older and not have
parents supporting you that much.
Akane: It's kinda weird though, being the youngest but being the
first to marry.
Nabiki: Yeah, I would thought Kasumi would marry, but Dr. Tofu
is getting nowhere with her. And Kasumi is already 21.
Akane: We're growing up fast, yet where was our youth? I don't
remember the day I had fun.
Nabiki: That's not true, we had many great adventures.
Akane: Well anyway, I'm not sure about this marriage thing.
Nabiki: Well, that's too bad. At least you know who you're
going to marry. We have to figure out who it is. But wouldn't
it be nice if we did knew? I mean, a few of us might know who
they are probably going to marry: Mousse and Shampoo, you and
Ranma, Kasumi and Tofu, and maybe Ryouga and Akari. But what
about the ones that doesn't know? Do we keep searching or wait?
Akane: I hope Ranma's okay.. I hope I didn't kill him...
Nabiki: Were you even listing to me?
Akane: Yes.. but the future is not that predictable.
Nabiki: Yeah, I wonder who I'll end up with? I hope he's rich
so I can divorce him and get half of his assets.
Akane: Nabiki, I can't believe it, you're just going to marry
for the money?
Nabiki: Yeah.. Well..
Akane: I hope you have to choose, between a poor guy whom you
love and a rich bastard.
Nabiki: I'll marry the rich guy, divorce him, then marry the
poor guy.
Akane: It won't be that easy...
Nabiki: I know, I'm kidding. I don't know what I'll do, I hope
I don't make that choice.
Akane: Hm,
Nabiki: Akane, when was the last time we talked like this? You
know, sister to sister.
Akane: I can't remember now that you mention it.
Nabiki: Well, I got to worry about my financial problems right
now, see ya.
Akane: Okay, goodnight.
[Ranma and Nadoka arrives at the Tendo Dojo.]
Akane: (Hearing the door close) Is Ranma back?
Nabiki: I don't know, I guess...
Akane: (Goes down stairs) Ranma, are you okay? (Touches him on
the bruises) Does it hurt?
Ranma: Ack! Yes it hurts!!! Thanks to your clumsiness, it
hurts more now..
Akane: Ranma! I was just concerned!!
Ranma: Well, you didn't show it by poking on my bruises.
Akane: Ranma.. you idiot!!
Nadoka: Now now Akane, Ranma. Settle down, that's not how a
soon to be married couple to act.
Ranma: Sorry, Mom.
Nadoka: Now go to sleep, you have school tomorrow.
Ranma: All right..
[Ranma and Akane goes up stairs.]
Ranma: Akane,
Akane: What?
Ranma: As me and my mom was walking home, I asked her to delay
the marriage to one more year, and she said she'll talk to the
fathers about this. Is that okay?
Akane: Yes.
Ranma: It's.. it's not because I don't want to marry you... it's
because I'm not ready.
Akane: So you do want to marry me.
Ranma: When did I say that?!
Akane: Right now, when you said, "It's not because I don't want
to marry you..."
Ranma: Akane! How can you make that assumption?
Akane: (Giggling) Revenge (Pokes Ranma on the bruise)
Ranma: Hey! Ouch!!
[After a few minutes of dilly- dallying, they go to bed.]
Ranma: (Narrating) I hope I'm ready by that time...
[Okay, cut two years from this point so we can skip more
cheesy scenes.]
Ranma: (Asleep) ZZzz..
Soun: (Screaming at Ranma's ear) RAAANNNNMMAAAAAAA!!!!
Ranma: (Opens his eyes) Yes?
Soun: Why aren't you up?! Tomorrow you're getting married to my
daughter!!
Ranma: (Sarcastically) Well, it's not tomorrow is it?
Soun: How dare you talk to your father that way!! (Kicks him
out of the bed and throws him outside)
Ranma: You're not exactly my dad yet either! Geez, since I'm
up, I'll go train. (Narrating) I haven't trained in the mornings
in a long time. My Pop left me to live with my Mom. My Dad
thought I can use the "practice" of living with Akane alone.
But I've been living with her for four years!! Geeze, why do
adults have to be so dumb anyway?
Nabiki: Careful Ranma, tomorrow you're going to become an adult.
Ranma: Well, I hope I don't turn dumb tomorrow then.
Nabiki: (Leaving) Too late.
Ranma: I heard that!!
[Ranma goes into the training hall.]
Ranma: (Narrating while punching the punching bag) It's not the
same as training with pop. It's no fun either. Mousse now lives
with us; no he's not married to Kasumi yet, but they are engaged
and are planning to marry in a few weeks. I wished at least
Mousse trained with me, but all he does is help Kasumi in the
kitchen. Why in the world did Kasumi suddenly fall in love with
him? Oh well, tomorrow is our wedding, and I know that either
Ukyo, Kodachi, or Shampoo are trying something to ruin it.
(Kicks the bag and it rips apart) Hmm, still got it.
Kasumi: Everyone, dinner!
Ranma: Time to go. (Goes to the table) So, what did you cook
for us this time Kasumi?
Kasumi: Something very delicious, but not for you. Akane cooked
your breakfast. (Grins)
Ranma: Oh gee.
Soun: You know, you have to learn to eat your wife's cooking.
Ranma: Yeah yeah, why don't you learn to eat your daughter's
cooking?
Soun: Are you crazy?
Akane: It's done Ranma!
Ranma: Oh goody... (Nervously tries some of the food)
Akane: Do you like it?
Ranma: This doesn't taste like anything...
Akane: Oh, Kasumi told me to hold off on the spices till I know
how to use them.
Ranma: (Thinking) This taste so bland, oh well, I guess I have
to eat it. Oh man, I need the salt.
Nabiki: Well, time to go to school, and I need to catch the 8:30
bus or else I'll be late.
Ranma: Wait up, we'll have to go to.
Nabiki: (To Soun) Why couldn't you let us stay at campus? It's
so stupid riding the bus for 30 minutes everyday to go to school.
Soun: You know I don't have the money to do that, Nabiki.
Nabiki: Hmph.. Well, see if I support you when I become a
millionaire. What the?!
[A Mercedez Benz drives up.]
Tatewaki: (Rolling down the window) Hello, Nabiki Tendo. Would
you like a lift on this chariot?
Nabiki: Why sure, Kuno baby.
Ranma: Hey, what about us?!
Nabiki: Sorry, you better hurry up or you'll miss the 8:30 bus!
Ranma: Damn her...
Kasumi: Akane, remember to hurry back so we can fit you in your
wedding dress.
Akane: Okay... lets go, Ranma.
***
Akane: (Running towards the bus stop) You know, I really hate
riding the subway.
Ranma: (Running) I know, it's surprising that we are never
late. We have to catch the bus to the subway station to catch
the subway for our college.
Akane: I hate the subway, there are too many perverts there...
Ranma: Who'd want to touch you?
Akane: Ranma, that's getting real old.
[They finally arrive at the bus stop, and they both are out
of breath.]
Ranma: Well, *pant* tomorrow we're getting married. *pant*
Akane: *pant* Yeah...
Ranma: How do you feel *pant* Akane?
Akane: About what? (wipes the sweat)
Ranma: Us getting married.
Akane: I don't know... what about you?
Ranma: I.. don't know either...
Akane: Oh...
[They both wait for the bus with a few other people.]
Ranma: Gee, the bus is late, (looks at the watch)
Akane: Yeah, I hope we don't miss the train.
Ranma: (Nods) Mm.
[More pause and they are standing still waiting for the bus.
It is somewhat windy so the wind is blowing through their hair.
All of a sudden, they face each other.]
Ranma: Akane, (simultaneously)
Akane: Ranma, (simultaneously)
Ranma: You go first.. (simultaneously)
Akane: You go first.. (simultaneously)
[They both laugh a little.]
Akane: (Looking down) Ranma... (Looks up to his eyes) to tell
you the truth... I'm scared.
Ranma: (Looks at her eyes) Yeah... me too.
Akane: I mean... (All of a sudden the bus leaves) Hey!!!!
Ranma: (Watching the bus drive away) Oh man....
Akane: I guess we have to huff it.
Ranma: Yeah I guess so...
Akane: (Smiling) Beat you to the subway station! (skips back
and runs)
Ranma: (Smiles and follows her) I bet you will... tomboy!
[College]
Professor: So the kinetic theory....
Ranma: (Whispering) What were you going to say?
Akane: (Whispering) When?
Ranma: (Whispering) At the bus stop...
Akane: (Whispering) Oh, it was nothing...
Ranma: (Whispering) Oh...
Professor: ... And about that old story about Newton with an
apple falling on his head...
Ranma: (Whispering not facing Akane) Akane, I love you.
[A few students turn their heads, then go back to taking
notes.]
Akane: (Whispering a little louder) What?!
Ranma: (Looking at Akane and grins) I never said this, and
since we're getting married, I guess I'd have to say it some time
another, I love you Akane.
[A few students glare at Ranma saying to themselves stuff
like, "Yeah yeah, now shut the hell up."]
Akane: Wow, that's so sudden...
Ranma: Your turn...
Akane: Ummm..
Ranma: (Gives a "fake" frown) You don't love me?
Akane: I.. I... I... (takes a big gulp) loveyouranma.
(Thinking) Man, that felt weird, but good in someway.
Ranma: What was that?
Akane: I... love you Ranma..
Ranma: Huh?
Akane: (Annoyed) I Love you RANma!
Ranma: Look, I can't here a thing you're saying.
Akane: (Almost yelling, kinda mad) I said I love you Ranma!!!
[Everybody looks back including the professor.]
Professor: If anybody else loves this "Ranma" please say so so
we can go on with out lecture.
Akane: (Blushing) Sorry sir!
Ranma: (trying to hold in his laughing)
Akane: (More softly) Ranma!!!
***
[Their classes ended.]
Ranma: Hurry up Akane, we're going to miss the train!
Akane: (Grabs Ranma's hand) Come on, we can walk like we did
this morning. (Smiles)
Ranma: What about Kasumi? She was suppose to fit your wedding
dress
Akane: Oh don't worry about sister, she won't care.
Ranma: Heh..
[They walk some kilometers and don't notice Shampoo hiding.]
Shampoo: Ranma, wo.. (Hears Ranma say something)
Ranma: I love you Akane, I love you Akane, how many times I have
to say it?
Akane: Till I embarrass you like you did to me in class.
[They both laugh and walk close to each other.]
Shampoo: Ranma... you really do love Akane... NO! I won't give
up, I won't believe it. You love me Ranma, and I'll make sure
that you realize your love to me before you get married to Akane!
****
[Tendo Dojo]
Kasumi: Akane Ranma, where have you been? We don't have much
time!
Akane: I'm sorry sister, we missed the train home.
Kasumi: (Gives her warm smile) Well, you'll be pleasantly
surprised at the wedding gown I bought for you.
Akane: Where's Nabiki?
Kasumi: Oh, see's gone to do something...
Akane: (Sighs) That's okay, lets go.
Soun: Ranma, come with me.
Ranma: Huh? Su.. sure.
[They go into Soun's room.]
Soun: Ranma, you're marrying my daughter, so please take care of
her.
Ranma: And?
Soun: Don't you have any discipline? Anyway, here...
Ranma: What's this?
Soun: It's Mrs. Tendo's Wedding ring. I want you put this
around Akane's finger tomorrow.
Ranma: Thank you... Mr. Tendo.
Soun: Now, please take good care of my daughter...
Ranma: I will... I will..
Soun: And start calling me father...
***
Kasumi: Akane, do hold still please.
Akane: Kasumi, this is a lovely dress, how did you afford it?
Kasumi: Actually, Mousse got this dress for our wedding. I
decided that you'll wear it first.
Akane: But... this is your dress.
Kasumi: I know, but father and I did not have money to get you a
new one..
Akane: What about Nabiki?
Kasumi: The truth is, Nabiki has been very cold lately. I don't
know if she'll come to the wedding at all...
Akane: ...
Kasumi: There all done...
Akane: (Narrating) I looked at myself in the mirror, I had
completely changed. I didn't see myself as a girl anymore, but a
woman. A very beautiful woman, as beautiful as my mother used to
be when I saw her going out with my dad to parties... I remember
her dressing, I would play dress up with her while she got ready
for the party... Now, I'm doing this for real life...
Kasumi: You are very beautiful, Akane...
Akane: Oh Kasumi.. (hugs Kasumi close)
***
Akane: (Narrating) After a long night... the day finally comes.
Soun: Ranma!!!!
Ranma: (Wakes up) Whhhaaatt?!
Soun: Today is your wedding day, you think you can sleep in?
Aren't you even a bit excited?
Ranma: (Thinking) Sheesh, I was up the whole night yesterday
worrying. (Speaking) When is it?
Soun: What?!
Ranma: I'm just kidding, where's Akane?
Soun: She's gone to your house with Kasumi. It's bad luck to
see the bride before you get married.
Ranma: Yeah yeah, (gets up.) So, I go get my tux by 11:00
and... blalbalb
Soun: That's right, it's 7:30 now!! So hurry up!! (leaves)
Ranma: Okay!!! Geeze, he acts like my dad now.
Shampoo: Niaho!
Ranma: Shampoo!! What are you doing here?
Shampoo: Jin-wan ni yuan-yi he wo yi-qi qu wanr ma?*
Ranma: Sorry Shampoo, I don't' understand Chinese...
Shampoo: Say "yes" or "no" Ranma.
Ranma: Forget it Shampoo, whatever you're planning it won't
work. I'm getting married today.
Shampoo: (Exploding) You think I don't know that?!!
Ranma: Woah...
Shampoo: I always loved you Ranma, much longer than Akane. But
you never gave me chance, you always go back to Akane. Why? You
hate me?
Ranma: Shampoo, it's that...
Shampoo: Then what is it? That you can't realize that you don't
love the person who love you very much?
Ranma: But I do... Akane.
Shampoo: (Faces away from Ranma) Does it always have to be
Akane? (Turns to him) I knew you longer that Akane!
Ranma: But you didn't fall in love with me till much later.
Shampoo: Ranma... why do you do this to me? Why do you torture
me?
Ranma: Shampoo, I love Akane more... sorry. I'm really am.
Shampoo: (Puts arms around Ranma) Has Akane ever kissed you?
Like this? (Kisses him on the right cheek) Or here? (On the
left cheek) Or not even here? (Slowly goes to kiss him on the
lips)
Ranma: (Pushing Shampoo away) No, it's not right! I'm getting
married in a few hours and you're trying to make out with me!
Shampoo: You're not married yet Ranma, and I'll make sure that
it stay that way.
Ranma: (Goes to the door) I don't think so Shampoo...
Shampoo: (Blocks his way) NO!!! If you're so sure, then please
let me have the chance to have you before you leave me
completely.
Ranma: (Ranma looks at Shampoo's tearful eyes) Shampoo...
Shampoo: (Gives a faint smile) No worry Ranma, Akane not here
to stop this, it's your choice. So, what will you do?
Ranma: (Thinks of Akane) Akane....
Shampoo: Well?
Ranma: (Takes a big sigh) MOUSSE!!!!
Shampoo: (In complete shock) What you doing?! Why you call
him?!
Mousse: What do you want Ranma? Aren't you suppose to be
getting ready for... (Comes face to face with Shampoo.)
Shampoo...
Shampoo: Mousse... (Snaps out of it and pushes him away)
Mousse you fool, I told you to go back to Kasumi!
Mousse: So you did, I haven't seen you in two years since we
last said farewell... Nihao ma?
Shampoo: (Not looking at Mousse, in an irate voice) Hen hao, xie
xie.
Ranma: While you two talk about old times, I'll leave you guys
alone.
Shampoo: No you don't Ranma!! Please, if you don't want me, at
least you can kiss me...
Ranma: .......
Mousse: Shampoo, (Turns away from her hand puts his hands on the
wall, leaning against it) Why do you have to bring back bad
memories?!! (Punches the wall)
Shampoo: Mousse, it's over, we said out good byes a long time
ago.
Mousse: (Quietly) I didn't... I love Kasumi, but I still have
this feeling towards you. Do you Shampoo?! Do you any feeling
left towards me?!
Shampoo: .... (Softly) No..
Mousse: No?!
Shampoo: (Looking away from Mousse) No...
Mousse: (Suddenly turns around quickly, then takes Ranma and runs
out to the roof.) Damnit, how heartless can she be?
Ranma: Thanks, Mousse.
Mousse: Ranma! What would you have done if I hadn't come?
Ranma: What?
Mousse: Would you have done what she said if I didn't come?
Ranma: I love Akane, I'll always be with her...
Mousse: None of which you have answered my question.
Ranma: ...Maybe...
Mousse: No maybes! Yes or no!?
Ranma: (Angry)Yes, I probably have! (Grabs Mousse collar) Is
that a problem for you?!!! (Throws him down) If it is, why
don't you kill me right now!!!!?? Come on!! Do it! You two are
the same! You guys just can't take a hint that someone DOES NOT
LOVE YOU!!
Mousse: ...
Ranma: (Calmer) You know why I would have done it with her?
Because I felt guilty, I don't' know why. I'm suppose to be
strong and masculine like my mother wanted me to... but I've
become weaker... maybe because of this marriage thing. Maybe I
just felt sorry for her. Maybe I just wanted her right there,
when my bachelorhood was coming to an end. I don't know why..
OKAY?!
Mousse: I'm sorry Ranma, I just hate my past. It's all evil..
bad beyond compare... I never remember the time I was truly
happy.
Ranma: Mousse, you don't know the hell I went through during my
younger days.
Mousse: You know, it was fun, while we were at high school.
Ranma: Yeah, it was... (Laughs a little) I remember when you
first challenged me..
Mousse: Oh yes, I could of beaten you, if you didn't knock my
glasses off.
Ranma: Get a life, no way.
Mousse: (Looks at Ranma seriously, then laughs) Come on, lets
go to your wedding.
Ranma: What about Shampoo?
Mousse: She's gone, and you know she's going to do whatever it
costs to ruin your wedding.
Ranma: Yes..
Kasumi: (From the ground) Mousse, what are you doing up there?
Mousse: Oh, just talking to Ranma about something, a little pep
talk before his marriage.
Kasumi: Please do come down, I don't want to see you getting
hurt.
Mousse: Don't worry... (Gets up) I'm fine.. (Trips and falls
off)
Kasumi: Mousse!
Ranma: (Thinking) That idiot, heh time to get ready.
(Narrating) Getting the tux and going to the chapel was no
problem. All the guests are here, I still don't know where Akane
is, but I can't wait... I am a bit nervous too. But one thing...
Nabiki is not here, what is her problem anyway? Ever since
Kuno's been spoiling her, she's become a cold... well a bitch. I
do hope Nabiki will show up... for her sister's wedding at
least.
***
Ukyo: Akane, you actually look beautiful!
Akane: Ha ha, thanks..
Kasumi: You really changed from the tomboy girl I knew...
Akane: Who you calling a tomboy? Where's Nabiki?
Kasumi: I'm afraid she's not here..
Akane: She's suppose to get the ring!
Kasumi: Oh I'm sure she'll show up...
Soun: Akane, are you ready?
Akane: (Takes a deep breath) Yes, father.
[Akane and Soun leave to make their entrance]
Nabiki: Kasumi!!
Kasumi: Nabiki! I knew you would show up! Did you get the
ring?
Nabiki: I did... but I won't give it to you.
Kasumi: Why not?
Nabiki: It looks better on my finger.
Kasumi: She's your sister!

(Wedding March by Wagner)
[Soun gives her daughter off to the alter next to Ranma.]
Preacher: Ladies and Gentlemen, we have gathered here for
this...
[The Preacher goes on with his thing. All of a sudden,
Shampoo runs in.]
Shampoo: Stop!
[Everybody in commotion looks around to Shampoo. Ranma and
Mousse curse under their breath.]
Shampoo: Ranma doesn't love Akane, he love me!
[The audience gasp.]
Soun & Genma: No, anything but this... we waited so long for
them to get married.
Shampoo: I have tape to prove it. (Puts it in the tape player
in the church) Now listen!
(* T = taped)
TRanma: Thanks, Mousse.
TMousse: Ranma! What would you have done if I hadn't come?
TRanma: What?
TMousse: Would you have done what she said if I didn't come?
TRanma: I love Shampoo, I'll always be with her...
TMousse: None of which you have answered my question.
TRanma: ...Maybe...
TMousse: No maybes! Yes or no!?
[Okay we hear the whole conversation between them okay?']
Shampoo: (Stops the tape) See, Ranma loves me, now he have to
marry me. Ranma said he even wanted me.
Ranma: (Turns to Akane nervously grinning) Now Akane, that is a
cleverly altered tape, Akane.
Akane: Is that true Ranma? Did you really say that?
Ranma: No, of course not! You know how Shampoo is...
Shampoo: Ranma, you even kissed me...
Akane: Ranma?!
Ranma: No, you kissed me Shampoo!
Akane: You let her kiss you?
Ranma: Akane look, she' trying to separate us,
Akane: Ranma, please answer my question.
Ranma: (Sighs) Ye.. Yes.
Akane: (Softly) I thought you loved me... You said you loved
me... Was that a lie? (Louder) You said that you loved me!!
(Runs out)
Ranma: Akane!!
Mousse: Akane... Shampoo... Shampoo, if I can't have you no
one can... (Runs after Akane.)
Ranma: Mousse what are you doing?
Mousse: Take care of Shampoo, I'll get Akane for you.
[Mousse looks for Akane outside the chapel.]
Mousse: Where is she? (Hears some crying) Can that be her?
Akane?
Akane: Mousse?
Mousse: Ranma does love you, don't you see that?
Akane: It's just that *sniff* I get jealous sometimes..
[Mousse tells what really happened (and some lies) and
persuades Akane to marry Ranma.]
[Back at the Chapel.]
Shampoo: Ranma, Akane leave you, you can marry me now.
Ranma: You must be sick, after what you've just done, I'll never
marry you!
Akane: Ranma...
[Ranma turns around and sees Akane.]
Ranma: Akane
Akane: Forget about her, lets get married.
Shampoo: You think it will be that easy?
Mousse: Yes... (knocks out Shampoo) Goodbye Shampoo, I don't
know why I ever loved someone like you. (Carries out Shampoo)
Ranma, have a good wedding, I wish you luck in your future. I'm
going to say my last goodbye to Shampoo.

Preacher: I pronounce thee husband and wife...
[And thus finally weds the most popular anime couple.]

Author's notes:
Here is the second part to my Personalities Too Storyline, the
prequel to Personalities. I'm sorry if this was another stupid
Ranma marries Akane story, but I wanted to try one. Anyway, if
you didn't get the full impact of this story is because:
1. I am a bad writer
2. There is no music I can accompany with this
3. It's harder to visualize in writing than watching actors on
screen or even reading a manga.
I can get the full impact because I wrote it and I know what the
characters are feeling. I tried my best to express that in
writing, but I have failed. It's not my best story but not my
worst.
Oh, I mentioned that this finally weds the anime couple. Well,
there are tons and tons of other fanfics that are better than
this that weds Ranma and Akane. This is just my version.
*Chinese translations
Shampoo: Will you go out with me?
Mousse: how are you?
Shampoo: Fine, thanks.
I hope you enjoyed enduring through this. If you didn't, flame
away.
