"What is it, Saotome?"
Ranma looked up as Nabiki slid into the seat next to him.
"It just that..."
"Yeah?"
"Ucchan never showed up."
Nabiki shrugged her shoulders. "Something must've kept her."
"Yeah...I guess. At least she could've let me know."
Nabiki said, "5000 yen, please," and put out her hand.
"Huh?"
Nabiki just stared at him.
Grumbling, Ranma dug through his pocket, then dropped a few coins in Nabiki's hand. She smiled in satisfaction.
"Look, Ranma. You've got to realize that other people aren't just as nices as you or as forgiving as you."
"That's not it at all!" Ranma shifted forward, "I haven't done anything to hurt my buddy!"
"So what? It's not about how you see the things you do. It's about how others see them."

"Oh god, we're late!"
The chef charged through the airport as Konatsu tried to keep up, dragging their luggage behind.
Konatsu stopped for a moment to catch his breath. "Shouldn't we check which gate, Ukyo-sama?"
"I know which gate it is, Jackass! I'm not gonna let those two have my Ranchan all to themselves!"
"Were it possible to take you from Ranma." Konatsu grumbled under his breath.
Ukyo was stopped short as the Stewardess closed up her desk at the terminal.
"Excuse me. My plane's out there, and I'm late for my flight."
The Stewardess gave a bland smile, "I'm sorry miss, but the flight's already left."
Ukyo looked around wildly. She missed them! She missed her Ranchan! "Well then call them back!"
"I'm sorry, miss. That's just not possible."
"You don't understand, my fiance's on that plane with two...Bimbos! I'm the cute one!"
"I'm sorry, miss."
Ukyo reached for her luggage just as Konatsu just caught up. "You're sorry! I'll make you sorry!"
The stewardess backed up as a Security guard stepped into the group.
"Excuse me," The Stewardess, Ukyo, and the Security guard turned.
The old man from the shop looked up from behind his newspaper, "Perhaps I can help."
*****
Mr. Roarke stood next to the pier, straightening his tie and smoothing his dark suit. He looked up at the sound of a plane as drone just began to fade in and out through the wind.
"Showtime," Mr. Roarke flashed a not quite pleasant smile.
