"Hey everyone!  I think Nabiki is in love!" Akane exclaimed as she burst
into the house.

"Oh My!" Kasumi exclaimed, standing by the dining table.

"How can ya tell?" Ranma asked in a bored voice as he sat in front the
television.

"Well, she has this really dreamy and dazed look on her face, and she keeps
blushing and 
giggling," Akane said, giggling herself.

"She probably found a 100-yen coin on the sidewalk," Ranma muttered.

"Ranma!  She's not -that- bad!  Besides, she'll be here soon, you can see
for yourself," 
Akane challenged.

"Oh,  I'm so happy for my little sister!  It's about time she found
someone," Kasumi 
gushed.The front door opened and Nabiki walked into the house.  Just as
Akane had described, 
her face was flushed and her eyes had a glazed look to them.  

"Nabiki, are you alright?" Akane asked, supressing a small grin.

"Oh, I'm just fine Akane," Nabiki replied dreamily as she sat down on the
soft next to 
Ranma.

"You seem a little. . . excited," Akane pointed out.

"Yeah, are ya sick or something?  You didn't eat any of Akane's cookin' did
ya?" Ranma 
asked.

"Ranma! You- you-" Akane sputtered.

"Oh, it's nothing like that Ranma-kun.  I just met the most wonderful man
today," Nabiki 
replied.

"You did?  See!  I told you!" Akane exclaimed smugly, her anger forgotten.

"So, in the guy rich or something?" Ranma asked suspiciously.

"No, not at all,  He only had 5630 yen on him," Nabiki replied, in the same
dreamy voice.

"So, is he connected?  He knows the right sorta people, right?"  Ranma asked.

"No, not really.  He has a few good friends, no one influencial," Nabiki
replied.

"Ranma! Stop that!  Nabiki doesn't care about things like that!  He must be
a really 
intelligent and nice guy, right Oneechan?" Akane asked.

"He's a really nice guy, and fairly intelligent, but he hasn't been living
in Japan for very 
long," Nabiki admitted.

"Oh my, does he go to your high school?" Kasumi asked.

"No, he doesn't go to school anymore," Nabiki replied.

"Oh!  An -older- man!  Details, Nabiki details! What does he do?" Akane
demanded girlishly.

Nabiki turned her star-filled eyes towards Akane and took a deep breath.
"He's a fan 
fiction writer."
