A now wide-eyed Ranma-chan was making as much haste as posable in geting to the Cat Cafe. The fact that she wasn't tripping over the hem of the long dress she now wore or the 1 heals didn't occure to her.
*********************************************************************
Ryoga was lost. While this may have been a problem for most people, it was nothing new for the "Eternaly Lost Boy".
Ryoga had been a little low spireted for the last month. The fight with Saffron had realy got to him. Ranma had killd a _god_, in a very brutial fashion. Frozen solid and then shattered. And then Ranma's heart felt admision of his feelings towards Akane as Ranma thought his actions were for naught. Fortuate for all, Akane did survive
But the question was begged to be asked: How did one commpeate with that?
So Ryoga got lost purposely. He needed time to think. So far in to his wandering trip, things were pretty good. He was ready to call Ranma a friend and give his blessings to Ranma and Akane's engagement. (Even if the the two of them would rather eat Akane's cooking than admit it) Ryoga had been making end's meat by stoping criminals and taking either the bounty or the cash the crooks had. Infact Ryoga was starting to build a repretation. He saw in the Tokyo Sunrise the other day "Wandering Boy saves Middle School form Local Pervert! - details on page 2" and "Mystery Wanderer Saves Local Town From Winged Minotaur! - details page 6" He bought a copy of that newspaper and laminated the storys at a local copy shop. He whndered what Ranma thought of that.
Ranma had given Ryoga an open inventation to spar, anywhere, anytime. And speaking of the pigtailed martial artist, there was a redhead just a half a block ahead of him. Well, A good spar could just be the thing to lift his spirits! (after all how many redheaded girls lived in Tokyo) So Ryoga quickend his pace, and called out his challenge: "Ranma, I challenge you!"
Then Ryoga got closer to his target. Certian things clicked in his head. Long white formal ball gown. Long red hair, aranged in an elaborate style. An expertly made-up face. Pierced ears. And a cresent-moon tatto on her forhead.
Either Ranma was undergoing some really weird form of girl-training by Saotome-san or Ranma had decided to live a really different life style... naw... that was leap of logic than even Kuno couldn't do. This must be some other girl. Ranma would never do any of that! Ever!
Walking up yo the girl Bowing deeply to show his shame, Ryoga said "I'm very sorry to distrub you, ma'am. I mistook you for my friend and rival Saotome Ranma. Please, forgive me!"
*********************************************************************
Princess Ranma-chan ("Gahh! I have to stop thinking of my self like that", Ranma mentally scolded herself) stifeled a giggle at Ryoga's confusion. Well... I need to see the Old Mummy. Even if P-chan says I'm a friend, this is somthing I'd never hear the end of for the rest of my life. I've got to get out of here! Thought the red-haird girl. Hmm... Idea!
[giggle] "Isn't that funny! I know Saotome-kun, he's developed quite a legend in Jusenkyo Valley. I don't think the killer of Saffron would ware a dress like this, ne?" [giggle!] "Oh, my name is is Princess Tranquility!" the newly christened Princess enthused.
[blush!] "Well it's a pleasure to meet you Tranquility-hime!", Ryoga babled. His mind was begining to short by bring so close to a pretty girl. (not to menttion a princess!)
"Well... I need to get to the Cat Cafe to speak to Kho Lon. I need her advice on a Matter of State. It's a very hush-hush matter!" said Ranma-hime in a perky voice. With that, she blows Ryoga a kiss.
[Slpash!] Ryoga couldn't handle it any more and developed a major noseblead while his mind was displaying the message: RyogaMind.EXE has is no longer responding and will be teminated...
As Princess Ranma ( Ranma's Thoughts: have to stop thinking of myself that way!) left the Lost Boy catatonic, two relizations hit the redhead. Did I just flirt with Ryoga? And secondly, wasn't Ryoga cute just then?
Wtih a renewed vigor, Ranma-hime sped as fast as she could to the Cat Cafe.
