Well folks this is the final chapter, thank you for taking this roam with me through Ranmaverse. This story was actually a challenge to myself to see if I could write a PG 13 all the way through, without inserting a lemon; Sid loves writing lemons. I actually made it! Well there was an implied lemon, but not like how I normally write them. Hope you enjoyed reading this old broad’s story and that you all trying writing yourself in the future (those that don’t). Everyone has a story to tell and I would love to read yours, send me a pm if you do ;)

This is set one year in the future

“Come on Airen, we be late for Akane and Ranma’s engagement party” Shampoo called up the stairs. When her husband walked sedately down the stairs, she grabbed him and kissed him deeply.

“What was that for?” Mousse asked in amusement.

“You not running downstairs after Shampoo and crashing into wall anymore” she said, stroking his cheek.

“You don’t have to keep on rewarding me for that, I can see perfectly fine now. If you keep that up; we’re going to be late for sure” Mousse said raising an eyebrow suggestively at her.

“You wait until after party!” she admonished. “I like new improved Mousse, sexy” she commented.

“I like me too” he replied giving her a slightly feral smile.

The Engagement Party

It was held at the Tendo residence and the place had been beautifully decorated for the party. The lighting was dim and the decorations both colourful, yet tasteful and Kasumi had really outdone herself with the buffet spread.

It was as usual, all of the males had bonded together one on side, leaving the females to herd similarly.

The Girls Section

“Congratulations on getting your real estate license Shampoo” Akane commented. “But how do you manage to point out details of houses with your.....thick accent” Akane said, pretty sure that pointing out her broken Japanese wouldn’t be polite.

“Thank you Akane, Shampoo doesn’t know. Men seem find Shampoo’s way of talking cute and want to buy house” she explained. “It good have second career with Mousse planning become architect” she said. “Thank you for tutoring him Akane” she said.

“You’re welcome; it’s great how quickly he caught on to my instructions. He really is as geeky as he looks” Akane commented.

They all glanced at the tall Amazon male. Wearing a black suit that displayed his drool worthy body to an advantage and his long, ink black hair highlighting his green eyes and angelic features, he looked good enough to eat.

Ukyou commented “He doesn’t look so geeky anymore, I think studly better describes him now” All of the girls continued to contemplate him, until Mousse looked at them questioningly and they all looked away.

Shampoo laughed “stop drooling over Shampoo’s Airen. You could have got him when he single, but no wanted to. Now is Shampoo’s stud” she proclaimed.

“Hey I’m pretty happy with mine” Kodachi said.

“Me too sugar” Ukyou said.

Kodachi looked at her with a pained expression “I really don’t want to think about my brother that way” she said.

“I like thinking of him that way” Ukyou said triumphantly.

“Shampoo, I love your kimono” Akane said. She was wearing a fuchsia kimono that slit up one side.

“I love Akane’s dress too” Shampoo said. She was wearing a deep red cocktail dress that looked amazing with her dark hair and soft brown eyes. “But then again, Shampoo always envy Akane’s petit figure. Shampoo so tall and curvy” she admitted, frowning distastefully at her full hips.

“Are you kidding? I’ve always resented you for being so beautiful!” Akane cried.

“Oh Shampoo look silly, all big hips and weird colour hair” she protested. “Envy all you dark haired Japanese beauties”

“Really? I envied you also!” Ukyou exclaimed.

“Why, I also envy you with slim hips, long straight hair and fiery temper. You perfect girl next door beautiful’ Shampoo said. “Also envy Kodachi with perfect figure and face, should be model”

“I feel the same” giggled Akane.

“Me too” laughed Ukyou. Kodachi just struck a pose and cracked them all up again, then said. “I think that it’s safe to say, that we were the hottest pack of fiancées that any guy could’ve hoped to have. However, I’m glad that we’re all friends now and wish Akane and Ranma the best. Akane I’ve always envied your hot tomboy looks and your effect on Ranma, but no more. The best girl won, congratulations” she said and raised her glass; they all toasted and then hugged.

Ukyou grinned at her “so engaged at eighteen huh? I thought you wanted to wait a while before getting married?”

Akane rolled her eyes “he wore me down with his constantly proposing to me, that and he provided me with a sample of what our wedding night would be like. After that I couldn’t wait anymore” she explained. “I’m not concerned about being a married college student. While I’m there, Ranma will be getting his certification as a gym teacher, as a fall back career and we can still live together. We’re going to get married anyway, why wait?” she said with a shrug.

“I’ll drink to that, then I want to drink to our guys” Kodachi said, they all toasted and then stared at them with expressions on their faces akin to hungry sharks.

“So what’s going to happen when Ryoga attends the Leflore School of Cooking?” Akane asked. At Gaston’s suggestion, Ryoga had applied and been accepted. “I could never have pictured Ryoga as being a chef” she admitted.

“I’m going to transfer a school in Paris and go with him. I can’t have him attending a prestigious academy like that while getting lost all the time” she explained.

Ukyou smiled “you know I’ve always pictured you and your brother living together forever” she said and then added “sorry, I hope that wasn’t offensive”

“Yes, us wearing our uniforms as we age and getting weirder as time goes on. Don’t worry, I thought about that too. I definitely prefer it this way, I’ll be in Paris with Ryoga and you’ll keep my brother company” she said to the woman she almost considered to be her sister-in-law.

“He’s in good hands” she assured Kodachi, who just rolled her eyes.

The Boys Section

“Why do the girls keep on looking at us?” Ryoga asked; he also wore a black suit, white shirt and yellow tie that matched the bandana he’d insisted on wearing. He looked over at his girlfriend; she’d whimsically ordered a dress that matched his bandana, as she liked them to coordinate and looked adorable in it.

Kuno glanced over; he was a vision in a dark grey suit and black turtleneck. “They’re talking about us” he explained. “Girls do that when they get together”

“All good I hope” Mousse said.

Ryoga looked at Ranma “so are you still waiting for your wedding night?”

Ranma laughed, at eighteen he’d grown taller, filled out and his facial features had leaned. “Yes, but we might have to move the wedding date up at this rate” he said. “Did you wait Mousse?” he asked him.

Mousse blushed slightly then said “Yes, for about two seconds after the ceremony. We dashed back to our appointed hut and were late for our own wedding banquet. They searched for us everywhere except for the most obvious place; the bridal hut” he laughed at the memory. “How about you Ryoga?” he inquired.

Ryoga blushed and glanced at Kuno “what sort of question is that to ask in front of my girlfriend’s brother?” he demanded.

Kuno took a sip of his drink “go ahead, I’m curious about the answer myself”

“Yes, we’re waiting, though I might have to ask Ranma for his secret on how he got Akane to agree to marry him so soon” he said.

Ranma grinned at the memory and then glanced at Kuno, who looked back at him suspiciously. “I’ll email you the instructions” he promised Ryoga.

“How about you Kuno, are you waiting for marriage?” Mousse asked.

Kuno was about to answer when a gold bangled arms snaked around him, he turned to see his girlfriend. She looked wonderful in an empire waist burgundy crepe dress that so dark that it looked almost brown. It ended at mid thigh, showing off her long legs and a jeweled broach was affixed under her bust line. “Definitely not, I took his cherry a long time ago. A girl’s got needs” she said, she got on tiptoe to kiss his cheek and then flitted off to rejoin the girls.

Kuno blushed and than looked rather smug “that’s my girl” he said. He’d been accepted to Tokyo University had managed to talk Ukyou into opening a new restaurant in Hongo Bunkyo-ku, as she wished to expand her business anyway and was training a replacement to take over the one in Nerima.

After much eating, drinking and celebrating, the party drew to a close and one by one the couples left.

Shampoo and Mousse

Both were a bit tipsy and walking home holding hands and giggling about things inconsequential. When Shampoo stopped in front of a house “I have to show house to prospective client” she said and pulled him towards it.

“Now, who would want to meet you this time of night? Is he a vampire?” asked Mousse.

“Come silly, you see” she said unlocking the door and led him inside. She started showing him the house “house belong to government official who transfer to America, must sell right away or lose huge bonus. It sell way below market value, it have three washrooms and four bedrooms, washrooms and kitchen recently updated. No need anything, move in condition. Backyard huge and has too too beautiful garden. It very safe area and have many young family, with excellent schools within walking distance” she said. She showed him all the features of the house and then turned to him. “You interested?” she asked.

“You mean you want to buy this house?” Mousse said in a startled voice.

“Great-grandmother give huge cheque for wedding, easily have down payment. We buy and still have enough for renovate apartment over Nekohanten to upscale dining area, no mortgage there. We can more then afford to buy house” she said persuasively.

“Why do we need this much space, there’s only the two of us and, oh” he said when it dawned on him why “You’re not saying that?” he said.

She laughed “no not yet, but should be prepared when we are and bargain like this not come on market everyday” she pointed out. “What Mousse say, we make offer?” she asked.

“Sold” he said. “Now show me the master bedroom again” he requested.

Kodachi and Ryoga

They got back to the mansion and Kodachi poured them each another drink “So isn’t it great that Ranma and Akane are getting married so soon? It’s great when people don’t bother waiting when they know its right” Ryoga said.

“We’re waiting” she said flatly.

“Why are you intending to accept my brother’s proposal instead?” he teased her.

“No I only love one Habiki” she said. “I’m a Kuno, we can’t be rushed or coerced” she said defiantly. “Where are you going?” she asked when Ryoga started to leave the room.

“To check my email; I’m expecting one from Ranma” he explained. “Do you know if Gaston has any canned whipped cream?” he asked

“Check the fridge; what do you need it for?” Kodachi asked suspiciously. Ryoga just bared his fangs at her in a solicitous grin.

Ukyou and Kuno

Ukyou pulled the jeweled clip out of her hair and let it tumble down her back. “Good party” she commented.

“Give you any ideas?” Kuno asked watching her.

“Perhaps for later, being a teenaged Mom isn’t my idea of a dream come true” she replied.

“Oh, you think that I want children?” he teased.

“You’d better, I intend to have a whole bunch of them” she said.

What if I decline?” he teased.

“You won’t be given a choice in the matter” she said poking him in his well toned stomach.

“I don’t know, you’ll gain weight and I think your body is perfect the way it is” he said running his hands down her waist in appreciation.

“I’m going to get huge, I’m going to have stretch marks and you’l love every second of it” she commanded

“I can’t wait” he said sourly. “So tomorrow’s Sunday, what do you want to do?” he asked.

“I thought we would spend most of the day in bed and then go out to dinner” she suggested.

“I’m up for that” he replied with a wicked grin.

“You’d better be” she said sidling up to him.

Ranma and Akane

Ranma was looking in the fridge when Kasumi asked him “Can I help you find something Ranma?”

Ranma jumped “I was looking for whipped cream, Akane and I want to make sundaes” he said with his face flaming.

“After all that food? Oh well, I bought plenty to go with the cake. Will two cans do?” she asked holding them out to him.

“T-that more then enough” Ranma stammered and took them. He returned to the living room where Akane was watching the light being reflected off of her new engagement ring.

“I love it Ray!” she gushed again. “So what were you boys talking about?” she asked nonchalantly.

“Martial arts moves. How about you girls?” he asked just as causally.

“Shopping, the conversation would’ve bored you to death” she replied.

“When shall we have the wedding?” Ranma asked.

“I think a year from now” Akane replied.

Ranma held up the whipped cream “Let’s go to your room, I’m pretty sure I can get you down to two months from now” he suggested.

Akane’s face flamed, but she eagerly raced him there.

Kasumi giggled at the sound of teenaged feet hurrying in the direction of Akane’s room and went online.

Voodoospike: Hi, I’m new here. Would anyone like to chat?

Cutiekitty: Welcome Voodoospike, I’m the mod on here. I only ask that you keep your language clean and don’t be mean. What are you in the mood to chat about today?

Voodoospike: The girl of my dreams just got engaged to my somewhat enemy and I just wanted to vent my frustrations about that.

Cutiekitty: I know just the thread to send you to, it’s very popular today. It’s like an entire high school is mourning the loss of the same girl! It’s called ‘Red is Gone and now I’m Blue’

FIN

A/N for those that don’t know, Akane means Red
