A few minutes later…
Soun woke up surrounded by his daughters, Ranma, and a panda and the first thing he heard was, “some fiancé… not only is she a girl, but she only looks to be fourteen or fifteen years old. Didn’t you check whether your friend had a boy or even whether he or she was the proper age for an engagement?”
“My friend told me he had a 16 year old son, Nabiki. I had assumed that a son meant a boy.”
Nabiki grabbed Ranma’s chest again, “does this look like a boy to you?”
“Please, I wish you’d stop,” grumbled Ranma.
“You heard her she’s a guest,” Akane scolded.
“Sorry.”
Dismissing her father from her mind, Akane turned toward the silver haired girl, “Hi, I’m Akane want to be friends?”
“Sure,” Ranma responds with a smile.
"Let’s talk in the Dojo, so we can have some privacy."
They walked toward the Dojo together.
“So you study Kenpo?”Akane asked out of curiosity.
“A little…”
“How about we have a little match then?”
The silver haired girl winced, “ummmm no, I don’t feel like getting my butt kicked today… there is no way I could win.”
Akane’s disappointment was obvious, “Alright, let’s sit on the steps to the Dojo and talk a bit instead.”
“Okay.”
After they sat down, Ranma noticed the disappointed look on her face. He decided to try, and cheer her up, “I can’t spar right now, but I can show you something cool”.
“Cool?”
Ranma cast a thunder green magic into the air.
“What the Hell was that!?” Akane exclaimed in shock staring at Ranma wide eyed.
“Truthfully? I don’t really know… I first did it by accident a few months ago. I call it Green Magic. It can’t hurt humans. If I were to hit you with that it would just give you a tingling sensation. On the other hand, it rips up both scenery and structures pretty well.”
“Green Magic?”
“It’s the term that kinda popped into my head when I tried to tell pop what I did.” Ranma explained while she shrugged.
“Wow! Could you teach me to do that?” Akane asked excitedly.
“No, not because I don’t want to, but because I don’t really know how I do it.”
Disappointment showed on her face again. “Oh well I’d probably better show you to your room…”
“Thanks--but before we go one question?”
“Yes?”
“Why did you look so happy when you saw I wasn’t a boy?”
“Oh that’s because a couple weeks ago a guy called Tatewaki Kuno made a stupid speech.” Akane confided with a grimace.
“Whoever wants to date with Akane will have to defeat her in combat. I, Tatewaki Kuno, shall accept no other terms.”

“So now I have to fight a gang of boys everyday to get to class…”
“That must suck fighting the same guys every day.”
“It does--but now it’s time to get you to your room.”
Ranma tried getting her backpack up the stairs, only to fall under its weight midway up.
“Ow!”
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, Akane, I’m just weak right now.”
“Let me get that for you.”
“Thanks.”
They get up to the Tendo guest room, and Akane put Ranma’s bag inside.
“Mind if I take a bath?” Ranma asked.
“Not at all, I’ll get Kasumi to bring you up a towel.”
“By the way I like my privacy when I bathe whenever possible.”
“Okay, I’ll inform my sisters about that.”
