	Ranma Nibunnoichi Nettouhen:Passion Spice-Big Trouble!


	[Lunchtime at school.  Ranma and Akane are feeding and kidding
	each other.]

	Ranma:[laughing] You would not!

	Akane:[giggling] I would too!

	Ranma:Never! Never, ever, ever... [trails off laughing]

	[The other students have been staring at this.]

	Guy 1:[coming up to them] Hey, what is it with you two all of
	a sudden?

	Guy 2:Yeah, last time you were acting like you couldn't 
	stand each other...

	Ranma:Mm?  [grins suddenly] It's all her fault. [points at 
		   Akane]

	Akane:What? It is not!

	Ranma:Oh, yes it is, you looked at me with those big brown eyes
	until I couldn't resist any longer!

	[They look at each other, then burst out laughing again.  The
	other students exchange looks of consternation.  Suddenly, Kunou
	bursts into the room.]

	Kunou:Saotome Ranma!  Is it true what Tendou Nabiki told me, 
	that you've bound Akane to your will with some strange drug!

	[Ranma and Akane are giving him rather sour looks.]

	Ranma:What's with you all of a sudden?

	Kunou:Answer me!

	Ranma:Hmmph. [turning back to his lunch] We finally decided
	we really went for each other.  [smirking] Not that you ever
	had a chance...

	Kunou:Why you...! [raises his bokken over his head and lunges
	for Ranma]

	[Ranma and Akane exchange a quick glance.  Ranma somersaults
	forward over Kunou, grabs him by the shirt and pants, and
	chucks him out the window Akane has just opened.  A few moments
	later, the teacher enters the room.]

	Teacher:Did Kunou come in here?

	Guy 3:Yes, Sensei.

	Teacher:What was he doing this time?

	Ranma:Trying to fly, last I saw.

	[The teacher gives him a puzzled look.]

	Akane:He wasn't doing very well.

	[From outside the window we hear a loud SPROING as Kunou bounces
	off one of the diving boards.  Akane frowns down at the pool.]
 
	Ranma:That doesn't count.

	[Later.  Ranma is walking towards the track field.  Suddenly,
	Ukyou appears and yanks him behind a tree.]

	Ukyou:[staring at Ranma] .....

	Ranma:[looking at his shoes] Um... Ucchan... I guess you've
	heard...
	
	Ukyou:[Slightly bitter] Not that you've tried to keep it a 
	secret...

	Ranma:Look, I... I mean... Please don't cry...

	Ukyou:[heavy voice] Do you want me to go away?

	Ranma:No!  [laughs, slightly forced] If nothing else, you
	can still cook better...  I promise you you can stay... I
	even think Akane likes you.

	[Ukyou looks at him a moment, then nods and walks away.  Ranma
	looks after her like he wants to say more, but can't think of
	anything.]

	[Later.  Ranma and Akane walking home.]

	Akane:I didn't think of how she might feel.  I wish we could've
	found a way...

	Ranma:Yeah, well... [puts an arm around Akane, who reciprocates.]
	Of course, Shampoo is going to be heartbroken, too...

	Akane:Hmmmph.

	Ranma:[slight smirk] And Kodachi.

	Akane:Hmmmph!

	[Ranma laughs, then grabs Akane up in his arms and sprints for home.]

	Akane:Whoooaaa!

	Ranma:Yahoooo!

	[Cut to dinner that night.]

	Ranma:Ridiculous.  I got used to no-frills living while I was
	training and I like it.

	Akane:And *I've* gotten used to living comfortably!

	Ranma:I'm *not* living in a room full of fuzzy animals and
	cute mmmph.

	Akane:[having shoved some veggies in his mouth] Why don't
	we trade rooms for a few nights and see how we like it?

	Ranma:[swallowing the veggies, wicked smile] Why don't we
	alternate spending the night in each other's room?  Dad
	can sleep with Happosai or something.

	Panda:[horrified] Growowowf!

	Kasumi:[blinking in shock]  Akane, Ranma, don't you think
	you're going too fast?

	Soun:Nonsense! They're coming along fine!

	Akane:[smiling but blushing slightly]  Well, we have to 
	decide how we're going to live...  Maybe we could go a
	little slower.  [reaches for the salt and pepper] Anyway,
	we-  Eh?! [holds up a familiar black shaker]  Oneechan, isn't
	this the passion spice?

	Kasumi:Mm?  Oh,no.  Shampoo used the last of it while she was
	here, so after she left I washed the shaker out and put pepper
	in it.

	Akane:[a peculiar look on her face] After she left... and 
	before Ranma and I came back?

	Kasumi:Mm-hm.

	Akane:[looking at Ranma]  That means when I brought you the
	rice... and when we...

	Ranma:[staring at Akane] It means we didn't eat *any* passion 
	spice... and we've been...
	 
	{I've never seen two people more embarrased in my whole life!}

	[Long shot of the Tendou home.  In the distance we hear:]

	Ranma:AKANE NO BAKAAAAAA!!!!!
