Destiny’s Phone Call
by RJ

	"BAKA!"  Akane yelled slamming her bedroom door.  "Why does he have 
to always get the last word!"  Akane laid down on her bed staring at her ceiling when 
she heard the sounds of a phone ring.  She looked around and found a small black
cellular phone resting on her notebook on her desk. 
 "I wonder who’s  is this?  Maybe it’s Nabiki’s."  

The phone continued to ring, Akane decided to answer it.

"Hello."  
No response.
"Hello?"  she asked
"Is this Akane Tendo?"
"Yes?"
"This is Destiny, and we have to talk."

	Suddenly Akane was transported to a strange white room.  "Hello?"  She cried 
out,  only to hear the echo of her voice.
"HELLO!"  She yelled.
"You don’t have to yell I’m right here."
"Huh?"  Akane turned around to see a tall women with long wavy green hair and green
 eyes.  She wore a skin tight blue and green leotard with high thigh boots.  She looked 
like something out of a comic book.
"Who are you?"
"Why I’m Destiny."
"Where am I?  Why am I here?"
"Well, your in a place somewhere between reality and for why….Well I’ll let you figure
 that out.
"?"
"Just watch."  She said waving her hand.  Suddenly Akane was watching Ranma 
saying goodbye to her family.
"So I’ll see you guys in about a month."  Ranma said.
"You sure you don’t want your dear old dad to come along?"  Genma asked.
"No, that’s okay Pops, it’s just a short training trip."

"Akane, why don’t you come say good-bye to your fiancee’"  Soun yelled up the stairs.
"NO THANK YOU!"  She yelled back angrily.


"How… I’m answering, when I'm here with you.  How come they can’t see 
me or you?"
"Just watch."

Ranma sneered, "Stupid tomboy."  He said to himself.
"Well I’m off, later all."  He said waving walking out of the door.

	Akane watched as Ranma walked down the street.  "Why does she have to
 be jerk all the time."  Ranma said to himself, but somehow Akane could hear his
thoughts.
"Sometimes I wonder if she even appreciates what I do for her?  Probably not.  
Ranma turned the corner.  "Hey there’s Ucchan’s.  Maybe I can get some free eats."

Ranma hurried and entered Ucchan’s.  Ukyo looked up from her grill and smiled.
"Ranma honey! What brings you by."
"Hey Ukyo, just wanted to say good-bye before I leave for my training trip and…"
"And something to eat?"  
Ranma smiled. "You know me so well."
"That I do."
Ranma shoved the okonomiyaki down and took a quick drink.  "Thanks Ucchan, but I 
gotta go."
"Sure thing, Ranma honey.  Have a good trip and be safe."

	Ranma waved walking out of her restaurant smiling.
"HMmmm?  Ukyo really cares for me, understands me…hmmm?"

Akane turned to Destiny, "Why am watching this."
"Don’t you understand Akane?  I am showing the exact day Ranma decides to marry
Ukyo."
"WHAT!?"  Akane screamed.  "What do you mean!"
"I telling you that if you allow Ranma to walk into Ukyo’s restaurant today, then you
will lose him, forever."
Akane turned around and threw her arms over her chest.  "HUMF!  Why should I care."
"Oh I see, you don’t care?"
"Yes."
"Then why do you get angry when some girl is flirting with him, or why did you just get 
angry now?"
"Well...."
"Akane you can’t lie to me, I’m Destiny.  Your destiny."
"My what?"
"Your destiny.  I was sent to make you see the light, so to speak."
"But...?"
"Akane,"  Destiny turned her around and stared into her eyes. "I want you to look me
in the eyes and tell me you don’t have feelings for Ranma."
"I Don’t....I mean I could care les...s ..Ummm?"
"You can’t, can you?"
"Umm...."
"Don’t look away.  Tell me you don’t care about Ranma!"
"ALL RIGHT!  I do care about him!  Is that what  you wanted to hear!"
"It wasn’t me who needed the convincing, it was yourself.  So why don’t you go make it 
happen."
"What?"  But Destiny snapped her fingers and Akane found herself standing in her
 room holding her hairbrush to her ear.  
"Akane are you all right, you were just staring into space holding your hairbrush ear."
Nabiki asked peeking her head into her sister's room.
"Yeah I’m fine.  Is Ranma here?"
"No, he left about five minutes ago."
"Five minutes!  He's almost at Ukyo’s!"
"Yeah so?"  Nabiki asked, but Akane had already rushed past her and out the door.

	Ranma walked down the street with his pack on his back. "Sometimes I 
wonder if she even appreciates what I do for her?  Probably not.  He turned the
 corner.   "Hey there’s Ucchan’s.  Maybe I can get some free eats."

	Akane ran as fast as she could down the street.  She saw Ranma walk
 towards  Ucchan’s.  "RANMA!"  Akane yelled, waving her hands.
"Huh?"  He turned around. "Hey Akane, what’s up?"
Akane ran up to him panting.  "Ranma....I.....have....to....talk....to........you."
"Okay, why don’t we go into Ucchan’s?"
"No!"  She yelled grabbing his hand and dragging him back around the corner he 
just past.
"Hey what’s the big idea?"
"Ranma please, just let me talk."
"Okay?"
Akane stared at Ranma, not saying one word.
"Well?"
"Ummm…well..um?"  Akane turned her eyes and noticed a man by a pay phone that
 was ringing.  "Yes, this is he.  And who are you?  Destiny? I don’t know anyone 
name Destiny."  The man said.

	Akane snapped her eyes back at Ranma."Ranma, I want to tell you....I 
want, umm?"
"What do you want to tell me?" He asked.
"I want to give you something!"
"Yeah.  What?"
	Inside Akane’s head it was telling her not to do this, but her heart said 
something else.  So she pushed all logic in the back of her mind and grabbed
Ranma’s face with both hands and throw her lips on his.  Ranma’s body was stiff
and his eyes were wide open full of shock.  Akane stopped the kiss and softly said.
"That.  Don’t forget where your home is."  Akane turned around and started to
walked home.

	Ranma still stood in the same position, full of shock.  When he finally
loosened up he turned around and walk around the corner and past Ucchan's.  In the
restaurant a green wavy haired women  smiled as she watched Ranma
walk past the glass window of Ucchan’s.  She removed a small ledger and a pen
 from her purse and did a quick check mark.  "Now for the two other Tendo sisters."
