                        One Night
                            By Yuffie Kisaragi


     Ranma couldn't sleep.  For the past few weeks he had been having the same
dream almost every night.  It wasn't a bad dream, but he found himself unable
to go back to sleep whenever he woke up from it.  He closed his eyes,
remembering the dream again.  Akane.  She was in her yellow nightgown and
smiling at him.  Just smiling, with a twinkle in her eye.  He felt his heart
beat faster as he recalled the image.  Why did he keep having the same dream?
And why couldn't he get her image out of his mind.
     Akane tossed and turned in her bed.  She couldn't stop thinking about the
dream she'd just had.  She'd been having a similar dream almost every night
for a month.  Ranma.  She dreamed of Ranma in his red chinese style shirt and
black pants.  In her dream, he was holding out his hand to her and smiling.
The smile reached his blue eyes and seemed to be inviting her to go along with
him.  Akane rolled over.  Every time she closed her eyes, she saw his face.
     <I'll just go glance at her,> Ranma thought as he got up from his futon.
<Just to see that she's ok.>  He slid open the door and stepped into the hall.
     <I'm just going to check in on him,> Akane thought as she got out of her
bed.  <He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping.>  She opened her door and
stepped into the hall.
     Ranma walked quietly down the hall to Akane's room.  He was so lost in
his  thoughts that he didn't notice her until he bumped into her.
     Their eyes met for a moment, just a moment.  Then Ranma looked away.
There was more in her eyes than words could ever say.
     "Good night, Akane," he said.
     "Good night, Ranma."
     And with one last look at each other, they went back to bed.
