Akane, l'm home. l've brought lots of presents.
Today l will express my true feelings!
Did you hear about Ranma?
I sure did! About his other fiancee, right?
That's right!
But who'd have guessed? He acts like he's not interested in girls!
I feel sorry for Akane.
Exactly. I'd never forgive him.
He'd be my lifelong enemy.
It's all over school.
Don't worry about it.
You jerk, Ranma! How'd you get so popular?
Give me one.
This is no laughin' matter!
I can't take this much longer.
Retribution!!
What are you doin'?
Ranma! Apologize to Akane!
Hey, quit it!
Playboys like you should be cursed!
Cut the accusations!
Ryoga, stop it.
My father decided--
No more excuses!
Cut this out! I'm havin' enough trouble with my un-cute fiancee!
Than you can just HAVE your cute fiancee!
Listen--
Even if your other fiancee is like. . .
this. . .
or this. . .
playing both sides of the fence is an insult to Akane!
What's in your head? I ain't engaged to animals or statues!
I don't mind. I don't care who Ranma is seen with.
Hear that?
I can't accept that. For Akane's sake, I'll--
I'll beat you to a pulp!
Who was that?
I was staying quiet, but you keep complaining about my engagement!
Ukyo!
Now I'm gonna fry you!
I don't know you, but I'll beat anybody who sides with Ranma!
Stop it, Ryoga! She's a girl!
A girl?
I see. . .
You ARE a guy!
Who are you calling a guy?
Wheat Flour Bomb!
You're too soft!
This is the end!
Ryoga, look!
Gotcha!
Y-You cretin--
What a wimp.
What was that for? I rescued you!
Idiot! Who shows his fiancee's chest to other men?
Ryoga!
I'm so glad you're awake, Ryoga.
Sorry to drag you into this.
N-No, I barged in on my own.
But, thank you.
A-Akane!
Ranma's sooo happy!
Honestly, what is Ranma thinking?
Anyway, Ryoga, don't worry about us. We're just fine.
R-Really?
Why?
Why "us"? What about MY feelings?
What're you getting so mad about here alone?
You love Akane, dont'cha?
Y-You!
I'm your ally. Let's introduce ourselves.
I'm okonomiyaki-Ukyo. Ranma-honey's cute fiancee.
So you're the other fiancee?
Y-You want me to date Akane?
I'll make the preparations.
- Of course, I refuse. - Coward.
What was that?
The griddle's hot, you know.
Just leave everything to me.
I'll be able to draw Akane out, easily.
B-But I doubt that Akane would ever want to--
Do you want to date Akane or don't you?
- I do. - Then sit back and accept it.
That's done it.
I have to admit, it's a perfect love letter.
I'll deliver it to Akane's. Give me directions?
T-This is it.
Ryoga is an idiot! His directions led me everywhere but here!
It's almost morning, for pity's sake!
I give up!
To Akane From Ukyo
P-brain! You slept in Akane's bed again?
This is for me?
I found it this morning atop the badger statue.
What is it?
Wait up, P-brain!
Hold it, Ranma!
Look what you did!
It's not right to step on food.
What's this?
To Akane, I'll be waiting for you at 2 PM at Ucchan's.
It's a challenge!
What? You're settin' up a date between Akane and Ryoga?
Yup. Today at 2 PM, at my restaurant. I just delivered the love letter.
Akane'd never go.
That's confidence.
Akane is the least cute woman in Japan. If Akane went:
"Oh boy! A date! I gotta pick the cutest dress!"
I'd jog around the town 100 times on one hand.
l can't believe that there's a girl in the world that un-cute.
l didn't calculate for that.
Akane's already gone. She seemed all excited about something.
Excited?
And she wanted to ask you not to interfere in her affairs.
I wonder what's wrong?
Fine for her.
I win!
Don't interfere in our affair!
- Akane! - Ryoga!
This isn't goin' any farther!
I accept!
Akane! I'm so glad you came!
Of course I did.
W-What's with that get-up? Absolutely no style!
Nobody wears that on a date!
Date? What are you saying?
It doesn't matter. Just have a seat.
I-I made it!
R-Ryoga!
I'm so glad I got an early start.
What about the challenge?
What challenge?
Here are flowers I got for you.
Thank you.
What kept you?
This is my best work, to celebrate your first date.
Date?
l get it. lf Ryoga and l are an item, l'll call off the engagement.
lt won't work!
And she's got that nice Ryoga mixed up in all this, too.
Eat up. It'll get cold.
I-It's delicious.
Nice mood.
A-Akane!
What'll l do? lt's my chance! My once-in-a-lifetime chance!
l have to say it. "l love you, Akane!" lf l don't say it now--
All right--
- I, uh-- - I, uh--
Where did Ukyo go, at a time like this?
Well? You two hitting it off?
I have to step out for a sec, but you take your time.
H-Hey!
I leave the shop to you, Akane.
Hey, wait!
Hold it! Where do you think you're going?
What are you complaining about? Three's a crowd.
Are you leaving us ALONE!?
We're talking about a date, here!
But we don't know how Akane feels--
Be a man; take a risk!
If Ryoga is so against it, we can call off the date--
- No way! - No way!
Akane! From the first, I've always lo--
W-What was that?
Ryoga, you two-timer!
You leave me to date another girl!
I can't forgive you!
I've never met you! Let me go! Hey!
Stop it! Let me go!
Just who are you?
Me?
I am Ryoga's. . .
fiancee!
Fiancee!?
I-I didn't know. I have a fiancee?
It's only natural you don't know.
It was decided by our parents when we were just children.
What are you thinking of?
What's with you? Don't be so violent!
Quit fooling around!
What'll I do?
What's your problem?
You can't give up just because a fiancee shows up!
You're right. What am I worried about? I love Akane!
Akane!
I lo-- I lov-- I lo--
Water?
What are you doing?
If you dump me. . .
I'll dump this on you!
Stop it!
You're breaking up the beautiful mood I set for Ryoga and Akane!
Hold it!
Ryoga, let's run far away together!
You're not getting away!
She's an escape artist! Where'd she go?
All right, let's split up and look.
Okay.
Why do I have to hide out, too?
Listen, I'm in love with someone!
I know that already, P-chan!
H-How do you know that?
I'm your fiancee!
I know everything about the man I love!
Y-You know. . .
and you still love me?
I'm so happy!
H-Hey. Hold it. Wait a sec.
Listen! Who do you think I am?
You're my fiancee, of course.
- Fiancee! - What are you doing!?
Just cut that out!
I've had enough!!
Ryoga!
Poor guy, being caught up in this weird situation.
Do you have something against Ryoga?
I'm so sorry to break up your date.
You're jealous!
D-Don't flatter yourself, you. . . loose woman!
Loose woman?
You get a love letter, and you're all giddy--
You're more giddy than I am, you cross-dresser!
What's with him? l didn't know it was a date!
Fine! lf that's how Ranma sees me--
Akane's such a jerk! Changin' me back into a man--
Now it looks like I'm some kinda weirdo--
Sorry to keep you, Ryoga.
Sorry to force you into this date.
No-- Not at all--
l-l'm dreaming.
No way Akane would ask me out on a date.
My wishes are coming true! This can't be reality!
R-Ryoga!
It didn't hurt. It IS a dream.
That one hurt a little.
This ISN'T a dream, is it Akane?
- Let's get out of here, Ryoga. - Okay!
- Nice mood, huh? - Guess so.
Ranma-honey! Why are you dressed that way?
Long story.
Ranma, let's go on a date together.
- All right! - I'm so happy!
I never thought you'd want to go to the same place Akane went to.
What's wrong?
P--P--P-chan; Little piglet, oink oink.
P-chan? Where?
- He's right-- - Ranma, go away! How borin'.
Quit following us!
Don't mind us. I'm on a date with Ranma!
Your date is based on. . .
making our date miserable!
Ranma-honey!
Two-timer. You have no right to call yourself Akane's fiance!
Ryoga, you. . .
two-timer!
When you held me close back then. . .
you were just toying with me!
I--
I'd accept you even if I found out you were truly a PIG !
l-l'll probably never meet another woman like this!
Why does this woman always interfere!?
You're the only man for me! Believe me, Ryoga!
Really and for true?
You'd better run, Ranma.
T-That's Ranma-honey?
Who is this "Ranma"?
It's you!
Ranma!
You are the worst!
Playing with my heart, twice!
You're not getting away with it!
I am not falling in!
However you look at it, l betrayed Akane in my heart.
You are the worst! What fun do you get out of picking on Ryoga?
I'm sorry, Ryoga. Ranma is just acting like a fool again.
Akane, farewell. We'll never meet again!
Ryoga!
l don't have any right to love Akane anymore!
Ryoga!
It's all your fault, Ranma!
I never thought he'd take it so hard!
P-chan, what are you doing here?
P-chan?
C'mere.
Where's Ryoga?
I guess he's gone away.
I wonder if he'll ever come back again?
I have a feelin' he's closer than you think.
- Are you really Ranma? - That's right.
That's right. My Ranma-honey is a hunky man.
You're not making a fool of me!
Listen--
You've been through so much pain, Ranma-honey.
But I think the way you are is the most fun!
No, it's not.
Ranma, when Ryoga comes back next time, you apologize!
Ryoga is a nice guy, unlike you!
Think so?
He seemed so depressed.
I think he's already over it, right, P-chan?
It gets more fun, every time I do it!
Hey, don't treat my body like a toy!
It doesn't cost anything. Don't be so stingy.
Listen-- You've got no right to laugh!
Ouch! Ouch!
