Alex smiled, squeezing her fiancée’s hand and leaning up closer, her long swaying tail catching his waist like a hook, an instinctual possessive sign she didn't even realize she was performing. "Flattery will get you everywhere." she whispered mischievously. She inwardly hoped this little meeting wouldn't take very long; her clothing was so tight it was almost bordering on painful to wear.
"That a promise?" He grinned, wrapping his arm around the taller woman's waist and pulling her up against him. The stares they received were completely ignored. He was use to receiving them considering his damnable curse; it had a penchant for activating in the most bizarre fashions. It was probably the very reason he didn't think much of Alex's hybrid form when they first met. It was odd to be sure, but when you have to deal with a curse that changes your gender at the simplest application of cold water, you get use to that type of thing.
"Ohhh! You little sex fiend!" she accused playfully.
"Can yah blame me? You're like a drug Alex. I always want more." he intoned huskily.
Alex humphed, "I hope you aren't planning on acting like this in front of your family."
Ranma chuckled nervously, thoughts of an angry Akane screaming in rage before pummeling him into the ground with the NIOBT (Nearest Instrument Of Blunt Trauma) killing the mood quite effectively. This dinner was going to be tough as it was, he was going to face his past and for the most part flip them the bird. Nothing so brutal as that (unless he had no choice, of course), but in essence that was what he was going to do.
"Sorry." he replied tightly.
Alex leaned down, gripping the mans chin before kissing him softly. "After we leave though..." she goosed his butt.
"Heh."

"It smells wonderful Kasumi." Soun complimented, eyeing the verifiable feast lain decoratively about the table. If he wasn't so focused on the food he might have noticed an extra plate being set up, but he wasn't the most observant of men so the point was moot.
"Thank you daddy." Kasumi said with a smile, before suddenly flashing forward and slapping Genma's outstretched hand, "Wait until everyone's here Uncle Saotome!" she scolded.
Genma rubbed his wrist, giving Kasumi a long glance before nodding. Damn that woman had some strength, especially since she started 'eating for two'. Hmmm. Maybe that Anything Goes School of Pregnant Angry Mothers really had some appeal... he'd need to look into that.
Kasumi smiled, glancing at the clock. 6:53pm. Almost time. Oh, she oh so hoped Ranma would appreciate all the work she did setting up such a marvelous dinner. She wondered what the occasion was, to be sure, but to her just having him near by again was enough for now. Oh! There was so much she wanted to tell him!
"I'm home!" came a shout from the foyer.
"Welcome home, Anata." Kasumi greeted her husband with a tentative hug and kiss, "How was your day?"
Tofu returned the kiss, "Same old same old." he responded with a tired smile.
"Mrs. Yamata again?"
"Yes." Tofu sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, "I just don't know what’s happening with her. She keeps falling down, so I keep making house calls."
"Oh."
Tofu shrugged, "It's not important. I think I'm going to recommend her to another Doctor."
"If you must, dear." Kasumi nodded, a strange feeling of relief passing through her body. They needed the money, but there was just something about that woman that really.. irked the eldest Tendo.
"So.. what’s the occasion?" Tofu asked with a raised eyebrow, motioning towards the gallant fest prepared.
Kasumi grinned, "It's a surprise."
"Oh, I like surprises." Tofu supplied with a grin.
"I'm sure you.." Kasumi began, until a steady knock at the door sounded. She spared the clock another glance, 6:55. Well, maybe he was a little early.
