> "Jackson, he's right, let's just move on," Sidney said.
> Trent looked around at the group. Jackson was sitting beside

> "As you were saying, Trent." Sidney took a sip of his tea.

>"That won't work, Sakaki. He doesn't know you're part of us right

>"There must be some way to get at him…"
> "No there isn't. He has no family. No friends. He's alone in

> He sat in the stands. What a week. He finds out that he has

>that he went to the restaurant… Then he ate… Then he saw her…
>Then he left… Gone to the factory and hid the shipment then back to
>the restaurant… Then stayed with her… Talked to her… Told her
>about his past… Then Ryoko and Ryouga came and he beat them up then
>that damn Moxibustion thing then back to the restaurant… Then he
>woke up… Then she told him about the chart… Then Ranma, Ryoko and
>he went to Shampoo's where they met Mousse and Cologne and they
>decided to have the tournament thing then they went back to the
>restaurant… Then they all walked to the school… Then the assassin
>came along and then they got to the tent and sat down…
> *Oh just stop it…you know you like her. Just admit it…*
> But he couldn't. He'd managed to put aside all emotions since…
> *You have to get over that. How would you know. How could you
>know? She would want you to get on with your life. Don't spend
>your days alone.*
> "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!"

> He ran for about a mile then stopped.
> "What the hell am I doing… I did this once before…"
> He remembered a time when he was running for what seemed like

>It wasn't until that moment that he realized he loved her. He had
>picked her up in his arms and held her tight. Then, for the first

>had no idea what true love feels like. He ran. He ran half-way
>across Nevada before he collapsed of dehydration.
> "Running from your feelings doesn't work."
> *Go back to the tournament. Win he tournament. Get the chart.
> Get cured. Go and remove all traces of Umbrella for Japan. Go

> He returned to the tent.
> *Pat, please forgive me…*
