In the morning, Ranma-chan stepped out of her bedroom, her eyes bleary from sleep. She blinked when she saw Nabiki already dressed and ready to go to school.
“Ain't it a bit early for that?” Ranma-chan asked.
“Not if you're eating out,” Nabiki replied. “Akane's cooking breakfast.”
Ranma-chan's eyes widened in horror. “Oh. Well, like they say 'Girls should enact their deepest, most hidden desires, and others should help them do so'. And I can sure understand your desire not to be here for that.”
Nabiki froze for a moment, before nodding. “You're right, Saotome, You're absolutely right.” She pulled out her cellphone as she walked away, muttering to herself, “I don't know why but I bet I can sell that to his fiances without trouble. Now, what was Ukyo's number again?”
Ranma-chan blinked. Ukyo, now there was an idea – she usually opened for breakfast before she went to school! Nodding at her brilliant plan to avoid food-poisoning, she made her way down the stairs, bumping into Kasumi on the way down. She couldn't remember what she said to the elder Tendo girl, but the elder girl had seemed to be very interested in it anyway, and promised to pass it on to Akane for her.
As Nabiki finished with her call to Ukyo and started dialling Shampoo, Ranma-chan left to get some food.
