Ryouga rubbed the back of his head and shrugged. "Even though I hate to agree with someone like you, but you have a good idea there."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence, ya jerk. Let's get ready since it'll be dark pretty soon."
"Yeah, we should get some fire wood," he observed and went to move off.
She grabbed him before he could get too far. "Listen. How's about I get the wood, and you get the camp set up?"
"But I can..."
"I'm sure that ya could, but we need it before sunset, not three days later. 'Sides, I can handle it just fine."
"Oh... Okay," he relented.
"Good. Now, lemme go and by the time I get back with a load of wood, ya should have the camp set up."
"Then go already!"
"Just about ta," she told him with a smirk, "Be back in a bit."
"And I'll have everything ready way before you do."
"I'll believe that when I see it," she told him over her shoulder as she left.
A little while later, the two of them were seated across from each other over the fire that they had created. Over it was a tin filled with water, and next his pack was a pair of empty ramen containers. Outside of the little camp, there was nothing but the sounds of nighttime nature.
Sighing, Ranma rolled onto her back and patted her belly. "Oooh, that was good..."
"Yeah, but it isn't like I have as much as you seem to want."

The Lost Boy snorted. "Yeah. It comes having everyone hide thier kitchens from me."
"'Hide their...' What are you talking about?"
"Hide, move, make them hard to find. I don't know. But whenever I want to find them, they're never around."
"Uh... Don't take this the wrong way, but I think the problem's with you and your sense of direction."
"I'm not a problem!"
"Nah, I said that you had the problem. I mean, last week ya asked Kasumi where the kitchen was when it was right behind ya!"
"I did?"
"Yeah, and when she told ya, ya ran off to the left."
"Okay, there was that one time..."
"What about the time I waited for ya for three days and ya didn't bother ta show up till the fourth?"
"I remember."
"See?"
"And the water's boiling."
When he said that, Ranma sat up and looked expectantly. "Time ta get me back ta being a guy!"
He pulled the tin off of the fire and held it over her head. "You ready?"
