Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction ❯ He Said, She Said ❯ A Crazy Chick! ( Chapter 1 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Disclaimer: We STILL don't own Ranma! If we did, we wouldn't be wasting our time writing fanfics, and we would force Rumiko to start Ranma again and make Ranma & Akane get married for real! (This will be our only disclaimer throughout the whole story.)

Authors' Note: BWAHAHAHA! Here we are with another fic! x_o| -_- This fic will be mostly based on a novel called Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen. (It's a cute book! You guys HAVE to read it!) Well, like our other fanfic, Venus as a Boy, this one will have humor and romance. Ranma and Akane will be teenagers (about 13) but some of it will be about when they were younger, it's going to be a POV story, and of course (just like our other fanfics) there's going to be OOCness so a lot of things will be different. Oh yeah, this is an AU. We are the "AU Queens"! ;p Nyaa!

Chapter 1: A Crazy Chick!



I never asked for this.

If I had a choice, I would live somewhere faraway. Maybe the North Pole, Antarctica, or somethin'! I don't care! Just as long as it's not anywhere near that crazy chick who's always watchin' me and followin' me around. She's always been like that ever since we first met that fatef-- No wait! Let me rephrase that. Ahem. I mean, ever since we met that unfortunate day six years ago.

To tell you the truth, I’m not the type of guy who’ll hurt a girl’s feelings, but man, the girl just won't take a hint! I try avoiding her in anyway I can, but it doesn't help! You see, we're neighbors and we go to the same school, so she's always around. You might be wondering who the heck she is, so I'll tell ya a little bit about her.

Her name's Akane Tendo. She's the same age as me, and for the past six years, she's been after me. I don't why, and I don't know what she wants. Well, she's definitely a tomboy, and she has long blue-black hair. The only good thing about her is that she knows marital arts, but you won't ever see me practicing with her 'cause I'm tellin' ya, she's crazy.

This whole situation could have been avoided if it wasn't for my parents moving to Nerima all those years ago. I don't see why we moved here in the first place. This place isn't special or anything and it's not like my parents work, so I don't see the point. Anyway, it all started when we were moving into the house across the street from where Akane Tendo lived. I was minding my own business, helpin’ my pops take out the boxes from the moving truck, when all of a sudden a loud, high-pitched voice comes up from behind me and yells, "Hey!"

That scared the crap out of me and as I zipped my head around, I saw that it was a girl with short hair. She smiles at me and continues, "Do you guys need any help?"

Pops glares at her and answers, "No. Now, run along home little girl. Your parents want to know where you are."

As you can see, my pop hates girls being around me. He thinks they'll just mess up my training or somethin’, and he thinks they're too weak. Well… not including my mom. She’s the only woman my pop’s afraid of.

"Really? My daddy said it was okay for me to come here," Akane says to my pop and then she points to a house across the street. "See that house? That's where I live."

After she said that, I think I heard my pop mutter to himself, "Damn, she lives too close." Knowing that she wasn't leaving anytime soon, he then looks over at me and says, "Ranma, my boy, go inside, you didn't finish... uh... your training."

Heheheh, I knew what Pops was doin'. Trying to get the girl to go home so that we wouldn't have to deal with her. I looked at him and said, "Sure thing, Pops!" I jumped out the truck and ran straight for our front door.

Before I even got to my destination, the crazy girl had caught up to me and was grabbing onto my arm. I don't hit girls, so I tried to shake her off by slowly pushing her away, but she just held on tightly to my arm and during all this, somehow, my hand wound up in her hand.

I couldn't believe what was happening! I knew my pop would kill me if he saw me holding hands with a girl, so I turned my head towards him but found that he wasn't there! It was a good thing, but it wasn't until later that I realized he had made me leave on purpose because he knew she would follow me and he was only tryin’ to save himself!

Anyway, when I saw that my pop was gone, I suddenly felt myself being dragged away towards our house by Akane. She looks at me and cheerfully says, "C'mon!"

Did I look cheerful to her? No! So, why the heck did she act like I was happy?! And, who invited her over anyway? I didn't! I don't know what her problem is, but she only thinks about herself.

Then, the worst thing happened.

My mom came out of the house.

If you know my mom, you'll know that she wants me to be 'A Man amongst Men', and if I didn't, I would have to commit seppuku. So you know I was as scared as heck when all she did was stare at my red, embarrassed face then down at my hand holding the girl's hand. I thought she would make me commit seppuku right then and there, but she didn't. Instead, she got the most sappiest expression on her face and says to Akane, "Well, hello there, dear. What's your name?"

Akane gets a huge smile on her face and replies, "Hi! My name's Akane Tendo!" She points to her house with her free hand, "And, I live right over there."

My mom glances at our hands one more time and says, "I see you've met my son."

"Yup!"

I finally broke free from Akane's death-like grip, and the next thing I did was very unmanly.

I ran behind my mom.

I knew I would probably be killed for it, but I didn't care. I just wanted to get away from Akane. Surprisingly, my mom wasn't as mad as I thought she would be... She says to me, "That isn’t very manly, Ranma.”...However, she did have a look in her eye that said ‘If you don’t do as I say, I’ll make you commit seppuku’ and then she says out loud, “Why don't you show Akane around the house?"

Dang. She had me, and she knew it. There wasn't anything I could do but give Akane aka "Crazy Tomboy Chick" a tour of our place. Of course, after my mom left us, I found my chance to escape! While Akane wasn't lookin', I ran inside our bathroom and locked the door. When she noticed where I was going, she had ran after me and started bangin' on the door and askin' me to come out. I kept yellin' 'No' back at her for a good ten minutes, and finally, after all those longs minutes, it got quiet. I waited only a few more minutes until I took a glance out the door.

Akane was no where in sight. Yeah! It probably wasn't the smoothest thing to do, but hey, my mom didn't see what happened and she never found out. I wasn't killed and Akane wasn't around anymore so everything was just fine.

But, every single day after we first met, Akane would come back over again askin' my mom and Pops "Can Ranma come out and train with me?" or "When will he come over to my house?" blah, blah, blah... The same thing over and over again. Pops would make excuses for me, but my mom on the other hand would force me to go outside with Akane which I thought wasn't right. Sometimes I'd even make excuses for myself and some of 'em would work, but usually, I just ran out of excuses. Pops ended up convincin' my mom that I shouldn't play with girls 'cuz I had to concentrate on my trainin' to become the man that she wanted me to be. My mom, being the type of person she is, bought it of course, so I was able to avoid Akane again.

Sadly... it wasn't worth all the trouble because I had to start school. And guess who was in my class? Yeah, you guessed it. Akane.

Man, I swear I never get a break.

On the first day of school, I came in and the teacher made me introduce myself in front of the whole class. After I was done, I heard a creepy, familiar voice say, "Ranma! You're here!" I cringed and slowly looked up with dread and there's Akane runnin' towards me. I was in too much shock to move out of the way in time, so I became tackled down with a hug by the one person I didn't want to be seen with.

It was a complete disaster 'cuz all through the second grade I was known as Akane's boyfriend. My years in the third and fourth didn't get any much better either. So, when I went into the fifth grade, I decided to do somethin' about it.

I asked a girl in our class named Shampoo out.

I don't know what the hell I was thinkin' when I did such a stupid thing 'cuz it didn't work out the way I wanted it to. Plus, I knew there was no way I could let my Pops find out 'bout me being with a girl or he'll make me commit seppuku, so I kept quiet around the house and made sure no one told him.

Before ya go on and start complainin', let me say what I gotta say. The only reason I did what I did was so that Akane would figure out that maybe I didn't like her, and what better person to use other than Shampoo? I mean Akane hates Shampoo. She always has, even way before I moved to Nerima. Shampoo is Chinese, she's got a lot of purple hair, and has a bit of a glomping problem. BUT...since Akane did hate Shampoo, I was gonna make this little piece of info the solution to my problems.

You see, what I was thinking was that Shampoo would eat lunch at our table and maybe walk around with me a little. Then, when Akane was around, I'd just have to hang a little closer to Shampoo and things would take care of themselves. What had happened is Shampoo took things way to freakin' seriously. She went around talkin' to everyone, including Akane, tellin' them that we were in love! You know what happened, Akane and Shampoo got straight to cat fightin'. Some idiot ended up blabbin' about me to Shampoo, and told her what I was up to. So later on that day, the principal tried cross-examining me, but I ain't say nothin'. All I said to her was that I'm sorry and I didn't know what had happened between the two girls. Finally she let me go.

Shampoo cried for a couple of days, but got over it when she officially dumped me and started to go out with some other dude in our class named Mousse. I was back at square one.

When we went to the sixth grade; things changed a little. I really don't remember Akane actually following me around, but I do remember her sniffing me.

Yeah, that's right, sniffing me.

Blame it on our teacher, Mr. Yazawa. He kept Akane around me like food on a hungry person's fork. He must have gotten some freakin' degree in arranging seats or something, 'cuz he analyzed and scrutinized and practically baptized the seats we sat in. And he stupidly put Akane's seat right next to mine.

Akane was smart, but the annoying kinda smart. She always had her freakin' hand in the air ‘cuz she knew all the stupid answers. She made me feel stupid. I swear, she never made below a 120% in any class. But since Mr. Yazawa sat Akane right next to me, her all knowing knowledge came in handy for me. I could see all her answers, so I, of course, snagged them all. Man, I got A's and B's on everything!

Then something bad happened, Mr. Yazawa changed the damn seating arrangement, placing Akane right behind me. And this is where the sniffing comes in. This psycho would lean in and sniff my hair! I tried pushing my seat up, kicking her desk, anything, but it didn't help. She still managed to smell me up.

I couldn't take it no more, so I asked Mr. Yazawa if he could move me to a different seat. But he said no and something about messing up the fragile balance of our scholastic chi.

Dude, whatever. I still had to put up with her sniffing. And since I couldn't see her answers anymore, my grades went bad again.

Then one day while we were taking a spelling test, Akane was doing her regular sniff-shift, and she notices that I can't spell too good. In fact, she notices I can't spell at all, so she stops sniffing me and starts whispering the correct spelling for the words in my ear. Which is a bad thing, 'cuz I started depending on her answers, so I didn't even try to study anymore. But after taking all her answers, I started to feel like I owed her. I mean, now I can't tell her to leave me alone without feeling guilty.

So throughout the whole sixth grade, I felt awkward and unhappy. The only thing that kept me goin' was the thought that maybe next year things would be different. We'll be in junior high, in different classes and there would be too many people to ever have to worry about seeing Akane.

It would at last be over.



To be continued...



A/N: Ugh, it was so hard putting Shampoo in this story 'cuz we didn't want to, but... it had to be done. Oh, we forgot to say this but the Saotomes and Tendos never knew each other until the Saotomes moved into the neighborhood. Okay? Bye bye for now. :p
