“I was only kidding, Will.” Irma giggled, looking at Ranma, “But how? You were just a guy…there is no way you could have hidden those…and…and you were taller…and…how?”

 

“It's a long story.” Ranma sighed, “It involves a cursed training ground in China.”

 

“Irma, are you sure that you are okay?” Will asked again, worry filling her voice, “I've never seen you like that.”

 

Ranma really never knew the girl before but he did see her aura before the short fight between Will and those goons and it was filled so full of depression it could have rivaled Ryouga's. Now though it seemed to be filled full of relief and happiness if he was right about it but her face sure did reflect happiness enough.

 

“So you guys are really married?” Irma asked.

 

“Yep…I have the best husband in the world. He's cute, strong, smart, kind, did I mention hot? Oh yeah, and he's gorgeous. And did I say hot?” Will said causing Ranma to blush more and more.

 

“And he resembles a tomato.” Irma giggled.

 

“Why was those jerks picking on you anyways?” Ranma asked trying to change the topic.

 

“Uriah? He's…He's been like that ever since you left. I guess I…I was so scared that you hated me Will…So scared I drove away one of my best friends with my big mouth. I guess he picked up on I and he's been a pain ever since. Guess I couldn't find the strength to really bother fighting back.” Irma said, looking at the ground.

 

“Did he…ever touch you? Did he hit you or anything?” Will asked, anger filling her voice.

 

“No…just pick on me.” Irma said. “Will…are you back for good?”

 

“Irma…I can't…not yet.” Will said with a sigh. Ranma took her hand and squeezed it softly. “I am back but we're planning on taking out Phobos once and for all so I can and Metamoor will be free.”

 

“Count me in on it then Will.” Irma said, “I want you back, all of us does and so does your mom. Oh god Will, you have to go see her, please. She's been so devastated since you left.”

 

“It's okay Irma, she knows I'm back. That's where we stayed at last night.” Will said, “Thanks Irma.”

 

“Will, where have you been at for the last six months?” Irma asked.

 

“It's a very long story Irma but if you can gather the others and meet at the lot after school I'll tell all of you everything. I promise.” Will said. “Just don't tell them that they're meeting me, I want it to be a surprise.”

 

XXXXXXXXXX

 

Irma, for the first time in six months was feeling like her normal cheerful self as she continued to school. It almost actually felt foreign to her to be smiling as much as she was. Unfortuanately that smile disappeared when she showed up late and almost received a detention. Thank god Mrs. Knickerbocker showed mercy after Irma explained that Uriah and his gang was harassing her again and only gave her a warning and sent her to class.

 

Walking into Mr. Collins classroom Irma handed him the pass from Mrs. Knickerbocker and made her way to her seat ignoring the lecture he was giving while trying to ignore Taranee and Hay Lin's questioning looks while trying to think about anything but the run in with Will so Taranee wouldn't find out early.

 

`Are you okay?' Taranee asked mentally.

 

`Yeah, I'm fine.' Irma replied, thinking her response knowing Taranee would hear it. She had such a bad feeling that she was going to get busted by at least Taranee, it was hard hiding anything from her especially lately as she purposely kept an eye on Irma as her depression grew.

 

`You sound a lot better, I'm glad. But why were you late to school anyways?' Taranee asked.

 

`Uriah was bugging me again until Will…umm…well…' Irma thought, freezing when she realized her slip up.

 

`You talked to Will? Is she okay? What's going on? What happened to her? Is she okay?' Taranee thought excitedly.

 

`You can't tell anyone about it Taranee, please, not until after school when we go see her. Please.' Irma pleaded through her thoughts.

 

`I promise but only if you tell me what's going on.' Taranee returned.

 

`Okay, okay but remember you promised.' Irma thought sharing her memories with the other girl much to Taranee's amusement as she saw what Will did to Uriah.
