I "hurrumphed" a little after taking a long sip of my pink, juicy drink. Drops of water slid down the sides of the clear glass.
The life guard occasionally blew his whistle, and doces wrappers fluttered in the air like moths. The water shimmered and the sun beamed and the breeze softly blew.
It was the perfect day.
Except something bad was coming.
I could smell it in the chlorine. I could see it in the piles of abandoned flip-flops. It was in every yell and every shove and every stubbed toe. It was right there, on the tip of my tongue, just beneath the surface.
Which made a ton of sense.
"Ranma!" Sofie shouted, bustling over to where I sat on a old bath towel I'd swiped from the Tendo's bathroom just before we left for the pool. I put my mouth against the straw that stuck out from the drink once she reached me and sipped again.
"Yes?"
The red-head's lip quivered and she forced tears out of the corner of her eyes with her palms, which didn't, for a change, cause mascara marks to river down her pale cheeks like any other girl's would. It was actually... really... uh... cute...
"A boy splashed me!" she exclaimed.
I felt one of those cheesy sweat-drops running down my forehead.
"Oh yeah?" I commented, taking a swig from the cup again. As I did, she stared at it while the last of her tears faded away. I smiled awkwardly. "Want one?"
"Yeah!" I grabbed her hand and took her over to the small bar where I received my drink. (If your wondering why I held her hand, it's because the last time she went to the bathroom down the hall, she got lost. Damn you, Hibiki's.) As a tall, dull-looking blonde girl slammed down another drink on the counter, I handed her 300 ¥. Suddenly I felt something brush against my arm and chest. I glanced oddly at my friend, who was unknowingly pushing her enormous juggs on topo, início of me as she reached over my body for her drink with that same, stupid grin of her face.
"Thank you!" she almost apologized, gripping the glass. Turning a dark maroon, I replied a shaky "no problem."
Silence arose while both of us were now sitting cross-legged on the tattered towel, observing Akane, who was being pulled along the water with at least 5 pounds of float-swim-gear por her older sister Nabiki. Two hands slapped down onto my thigh, where I then flinched causing the drink to fly out of my hand. Then I caught it. Another content smile was plastered across Sofie's slightly freckled face.
"Cologne said she has a surprise for me." Sofie said, whipping the words at me.
"Huh?"
"I don't know either!" she said, putting her hands back into her lap. "Some kinda pill."
I immediately thought, drugs, por reflex, but then remembered the Old Ghoul would never feed some innocent 15 ano old meth, steroids, etc. "Where's Happy?" she then asked, referring to old lech.
"I dunno." another sip. "Feelin' up aleatório girls?" I saw Sofie shiver and added kindly, "But thats pretty unlikely."
"Akane!" voice sang, hopping into the water. Most of us watched as Happosai planted his wrinkly hands and face right into Akane's ass. I sighed, and stamped into the water before the girl drowned.
"HEY, YOU DIRTY OL' GEEZER!"
He looked up from his cuddling, angry.
"What do you want, Ranma?"
"Get yer' nasty hands off of Akane!"
"And why should I?"
I blushed... "B-because, as a man, it is my job to help women in need!"
"... As a man, huh?" Happosai questioned.
"That right!"
"Ranma." Akane snorted pointing at me. I looked down and found a pair of perky breasts. Crap.
"Wha...?"
"You dolt." she huffed.
"Ranma!" someone else called my name. "Come'ere, boy!" I got out of the pool and walked to my dad, who handed me a pot of steaming water which I took immediately.
"Thanks, Pop."
"Thats not why I called you over here." I leaned in as he gestured like he was going to tell me a secret. "I want you to warn Akane and the other girls about..." I zoned out, watching Sofie rummaging through her swim bag. Then trying to apply mais sunscreen onto her back. And then knocking over my drink in the process and beginning to panic. "Are you listening to me, boy?"
"Huh? You say something?" he took my face and smacked our foreheads together and shouted,
"LOVE PILLS!"
"Are you INSANE!?" I rubbed my forehead, which pounded from the impact. Out of the corner of my eyes, Cologne had hopped up on that retarded-looking stick of hers and handed a little box to Sofie, who stupidly thought whatever was inside was candy, and ate one. Suddenly Cologne burst out in a horrifyingly ancient evil laugh. I dashed over to her and stood in front of Sofie.
"What did you do, Ghoul!?"
"Oh nothing, Son-in-Law. But I advise you to go visit Shampoo down por the dock pretty soon."
"And why would I want to do that!?"
She cackled again. "Because another one of your suitors will have left you in just about a minute, sonny." and then she continued to laugh. I turned around and looking at Sofie, who was staring off into o espaço with the hand that she had put the object into her mouth with slowly descending back onto the towel.
"NO!" I heard Dad shout, and tackled her to the ground. My eyes went wide.
"Okay, Pop, now you've really gone INSANE. Get off of Sofie!" I could see now that he was covering her eyes. "... Your not trying to play that game with her, are you?"
"Don't be naive, boy! You and I both know what Cologne just gave her!"
"... Huh?" I repeated for the third time today. Dad sighed and shouted again,
"LOVE PILLS!"
We were all sitting in the de praia, praia house Mr. Tendo had rented that evening. Which is stupid, because it's a de praia, praia house when we're not at the beach.
"So what your saying is that Cologne gave Miss Hibiki a amor Pill..." Soun trailed off and stared at me, and then at Sofie seguinte to me who was blindfolded. "... And the seguinte person she sees of the opposite gender she will fall in amor with?" (if that makes sense)
We were all silent. Sofie was silent.
"Well this sucks!" I growled, holding Sofie's hand.
"It's actually quite simple to fix, Ranma." Kasumi said, gently as always. "You just have to ask Sofie who she's in amor with, and make sure the first person she sees is them."
"That genius, Kasumi!" Akane said.
"Alright," I added turning to sit across from our little victim. "Sofie, tell us who you're in amor with."
It was silent again.
"Uh... Sofie?"
"I can't tell you that." she finally stated. It sounded like she was ready to explode. But with anger or tears, I couldn't tell.
"Yes you can!" I said nervously. "If you do, we can fix your problem."
"I would rather wear this blindfold the rest of my lonely life then tell any of you who I'm in amor with."
I think we all felt the same stab-in-the-back reaction. Only I nearly shattered. Sofie was my best friend. Ever since Elementary school we've told each other everything. And suddenly she'd rather stay blindfolded then tell me who she likes?
"I'll solve this." Cologne croaked, hopping in.
"But we thought you wanted little Sofie here out of the picture, granny." Nabiki smirked in her almost sarcastic tone.
"But seeing all of you fuss over something as feeble a this makes my bones ache." I also think all of us didn't understand why. "Here."
Too fast for me to react to, Cologne removed the cloth from Sofie's eyes, who was still faced directly at me.
"No, stop--!" Akane yelped.
It was mais of that heart-thumping silence. I turned pink, sweating and waiting for her to say something. After a minuto of looking into my eyes, Sofie cocked her head and smiled sweetly.
"I don't feel different."
"Huh?" Four. "You mean... those Pills don't work?"
"I guess not." she fluttered, getting up and stepping out of the tent.
"But that can't be!" Cologne gasped once Sofie was gone. "I got those directly from China! They're said to be--! Absolutely SURE to work!"
"Give it up, granny." I said, putting my arms behind my head. "I think China has you fooled."
Her eyes narrowed to me. "I think Sofie has fooled you."
The life guard occasionally blew his whistle, and doces wrappers fluttered in the air like moths. The water shimmered and the sun beamed and the breeze softly blew.
It was the perfect day.
Except something bad was coming.

Shampoo:
Up in blue sky silly blimp go by,
where it come from where it going,
ziggy-zaggy it fly high!
Today is Sunday,

Maybe you late but I no can wait...
Now I cry...
Kasumi:
Pretty red bricks,
bridge that spans the tide.
Draw the picture see the face
of the one I want por my side!
There you are all dressed in black
but I can't see your eyes.
Can it be your dressed that way for me?
Why are you so shy?
Beep-beep! Beep-beep!
Ranko:
This pager's drivin' me crazy!
Just so! You know!
If some dark stranger asked me I might go...
And so...
Don't blame me when your lonely!
We're sailing out to see the ship and me.
Lalala, lala, lala, lalalaa~!
Lalala, lala-la-la-la-la-la, laa~!

Yappa paa yappa paa, don't know what to do
My coração is not a game-Its mah-jong to you
Yappa paa Yappa paa, feel just like a shrew
Who needs boys?
Don't you dare
make me wild like you
Before you, boys got on their knees
Ranma, Ranma, its me you always tease
Since the dia I ran into you
Ranma, Ranma you
roubou my coração and you
don't you dare go and
make me wild like you
Somebody tell me why it's so hard
To say those three words: "I amor You"
If I let myself give into you
I'll become just as...
wild as you
Before you come in like a breeze
Won't you stop and ring the bell, please?
Before you make my coração a home
Why not let me amor you on my own?
I'd be better off without you
But just tonight, it's alright
Until tomorrow, all right
Everytime your eyes turn to me
Ranma, Ranma,
You make me feel dizzy
Someday we may be mais than friends
Ranma, Ranma you've
gone and though it's true
Can't you see that you've
made me wild like you?

You may touch me in dreams but they don't stay.
(Today you don't have much to say.)
How am I gonna face the light of day?
(What have I done now?)
Things completely unspoken,
thinking it's for the best,
Then I look into your eyes,
and it gets tight in my chest,
Hear the river tells of our goodbye.
(It's late and they all wait for me!)
Sayonara whispers on the breeze.
(I'll get in trouble!)
Let me know what in your heart,
that a good place to start.
All I need is a small song,
and I give my coração to you.
You and me have still got,
so much we need to say!
Friendship's not enough,
Why can't we seize the day?
Dontcha' know I got no idea
from this point on?
So far to go
until we both agree,
You and me.
