"It all started… Um… Hmm… Carry the two… 388 days ago… Yeah, that's right. It all started 388 days ago…" Akane smiled as she began having a flashback.
Akane's flashback appeared over her head as she started to remember.
"I was practicing my martial arts…" Akane narrated.
*Smash*
Akane destroyed a ciderblock, a tiny piece of it rolling over to the door of the dojo.
"No wonder all the boys think you're weird, Akane," Nabiki told her sister as she stepped on the tiny piece near the door.
"Why should I care what boys think, Nabiki? Everyone thinks the whole world revolves around… BOYS!" That last part came out angrily as Akane turned away.
"Then this wouldn't interest you…" Nabiki mentioned as she walked offf.
"Can we skip this part?" Ranma asked of the flashback.
"This is the importaint part!" Akane yelled. "This is.…You know…"
Ranma raised an eyebrow and looked at the flashback with a more critical eye. Finally she shrugged. "I've got nothing."
Akane gritted her teeth. "What did I just say over a year ago?"
"That you don't know physics?" Ranma scratched her head. "The world revolves around the Sun, Akane..."
Akane facepalmed.
"What?" Ranma asked, defensive. "WHAT?!"
"I'll just skip to when you got here…" Akane sighed as she continued narrating.
The Tendos were sitting at the table when noise could be heard outside.
"That must be Ranma!" Nabiki got up and started heading for the door, followed by Soun.
"I do hope he's older than me…" Kasumi sighed.
Nabiki and Soun ran back down the hallway, Nabiki oddly scared.
"That's when I saw it: a panda carrying a person…" Akane narrated with a smile.
Ranma looked on as she saw her father put her down and was about to ask how it was HER when she saw that she had a thermos behind her back.
'Why didnt I think of that…?' Ranma thought to herself. 'Well, I did, half a year later… But it would've been useful then…'
"You couldn't be…" Soun asked of the tiny redhead.
"Ranma Saotome. Sorry 'bout this…" Ranma answered.
"At last you came!" Soun cried as he glomped Ranma, surprising the girl.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Ranma freaked. "Put me down!"
'Now, that's new…' Ranma thought as she watched.
Soun did so, a startled look on his face.
"Thank you…" Ranma muttered, brushing herself off.
All the Tendos' eyes widened as they saw a distinctive bounce in Ranma's chest as she dusted herself off.
Nabiki stepped forward, not trusting her eyes as she poked Ranma's breast.
"What are you doing?" Ranma asked, flinching.
"He's a girl, Daddy!" Nabiki shouted, stating the obvious.
Ranma's eye twitched and cross veins popped out on her head. "Of course I'm a girl!"
Soun fainted.
Akane grabbed Ranma's fisted hand. "I'm sorry for my sister's behavior. I'm Akane, wanna be friends?"
The flashback got fuzzy as somehow their hair started flowing in the wind and lily petals began to scatter.
"Akane!" Ranma commented angrily. "Focus! That's not how it happened!"
"Well, you told ME to tell the story, and this way is much better!" Akane argued. "Besides, how else can I get across that it was love at first sight-"
Akane clasped her hands over her mouth in shock.
Ranma's jaw dropped.
"Err… Forget I said that…" Akane muttered.
Ranma shook her head, disbelieving. "You… You've loved me since you met me?"
"I told you to forget that!" Akane blushed, grabbing a pillow to hide behind.
"That's so…" Ranma struggled for the right word.
Akane sniffled. "Cheesy?"
"No." Ranma looked right into Akane's eyes. "That's so… touching…"
With that, the redhead's eyes started to water.
Akane was shocked at this development. "Ranma?"
"You love me, you really love me…" Ranma started to cry against her will. "And have ever since we met! I, I…"
Akane hugged the shorter girl. "Yes, I have. When you beat me without even hurting me and I laughed for the first time in a dojo… I knew you were special. It's why… It's why I walked in on you in the bath…" she explained, her cheeks red.
Ranma sighed. "That explains a lot."
"Sorry…" Akane muttered. "Sorry it took so long after for me to admit it."
The flashback skipped to Akane eagerly opening the door to the inner bath to see Ranma about to step into the furo.
"…" Akane and Ranma, who was male, stared at each other awkwardly for a few seconds before Akane closed the door and left.
The flashback Akane's scream was loud enough to be heard by the whole house.
"Ow…" Ranma rubbed her ears.
"Sorry…" Akane looked away. "You… You scared me in your cursed form."
"How?" Ranma asked. "Didn't you beat up guys on regular basis?"
"Yeah, but… It's…" Akane blushed harder. "Your… thing. As a boy. It…"
"You were scared of my penis?!" Ranma laughed. "You… You were seriously scared of my… BWAHAHAHA!"
"It's not funny!" Akane cried, hiding behind her pillow again.
