All three Tendo girls watched as Ranma left, her movements slightly provocative as she walked down the path. Finally, Akane turned a distraught face to her sisters. "What are we going to do? Ranma thinks he's a girl!"

Kasumi blinked in bewilderment. "Oh my! But surely Ranma WAS a girl just now?"

Akane snorted with exasperation. "I don't mean he looks like a girl, he thinks he really is a girl! A girl who turns into a boy!" As she stomped about, the youngest Tendo missed the little smirk that graced her oldest sister's lips.

"I don't know, Akane," drawled Nabiki, meeting her older sister's gaze. "I think it's an improvement." The younger girl gave the mercenary a cold look.

"Very funny, Nabiki, but I'm supposed to marry the jerk. How can we get married if Ranma's a girl?" Akane shouted.

Kasumi looked puzzled and then tried to sooth her younger sister. "I'm sure she would turn back into a boy for the ceremony. Ranma can be quite thoughtful about those sorts of things."

"Or maybe you could both wear wedding dresses," chimed in Nabiki. "Hey, that's a thought! If Ranma is the bride, we could keep the dojo. In fact, the Panda would owe us a dowry!"

Akane looked ready to explode. With an inarticulate cry of rage, Akane took one step towards her older sister, who crossed her arms and looked at her with a half-lidded gaze. The youngest Tendo froze as all the anger leaked out of her. "Oh my god! Ranma doesn't just think he's a girl — he thinks he's Nabiki ! He gave me that exact look not twenty minutes ago. He's even talking a bit like you!"

Clapping her hands, Kasumi suggested, "Well, that's not bad, then. Nabiki gets very good grades. Maybe Ranma will do better in school." Akane sighed heavily.
