However, there was another aspect to it that was fairly begging for a comment. "What is this? A mutual admiration society?"
"I ain't too sure," Ranma admitted in a low voice as the two younger Tendos came his way. "Whatever it is, it's embarrassin'."
"You can say that again. They look like a pair of idiots," Akane muttered.
"Akane! That isn't nice," Kasumi admonished.
