For all that Akane liked martial arts and athletics and sports, she was still quite the girly girl. Sure, she was pretty bad with arts and crafts and cooking and whatnot, but she still did like feminine things quite a bit. It was something she and Mariko had in common, both were very femme while still being tough. As such, in spite of a certain someone's accusations that she was a tomboy, Akane got on really well with other girls much more than she got on with boys. Not least of which because they were a bunch of perverts but anyway!
"Ooh, hey Akane! I found a jumper that would really suit you!"
To whit, Akane really liked shopping. Oh, shut up. It's a cliche, but she couldn't help it. There was something really cathartic about finding the best deals for clothes that made you look your best. Not to mention the time that she got to spend with her best friends, Yuka and Sayuri.
"Forget that jumper, I've got this skirt that'll knock your socks off!"
And the best part about them? They were normal. Perfectly normal. Not martial arts weirdos, nor romantic rivals. Just a couple of perfectly ordinary girls who she likes hanging out with. They're just nice cute girls, with nice cute smiles. And really cute fashion senses, too!
In any event, she really needed this. A nice and normal time hanging out with cute, ordinary girls. Cute girls pulling out dresses and talking about how adorable these outfits are. Oh look, Sayuri was leaning over to get a better look at some shoes that were laid out on a low shelf. Gosh, she had nice legs. She'd look S-U-P-E-R cute in a cheerleader uniform.
"Akane! How does this swimsuit look?" Yuka asked. Akane sighed, feeling genuine contentment. Hanging out with her friends without having to worry about any perverted boys leering at them.
The door to the dressing room opened wide. There wasn't any extra light inside it or anything like that. However, to Akane's perspective there might as well have been. Her friend was standing there in a bikini. An orange two piece that really complimented her figure. The girl seemed to be moving in slow motion as she spun around in place, making the half skirt frill at the bottom flare up from the motion. It didn't reveal anything extra, but the motion made Akane's heart go aflutter and -
Oh. Oh! She's gay. Huh. Akane tilted her head to try to get a better look at Yuka's swimsuit clad body. This... Explained quite a bit. Oh, sure. She'd been denying teasing along those lines from Nabiki for a while now, but only because it seemed so perverted and not to her taste at all. But now she could see it very clearly. Akane Tendo was G-A-Y.
“It’s adorable. I’d, like, totally go for you like that Yuka!” Akane said, giggling. “Well, you know, if I was into that sort of thing.” Which she was. But maybe now wasn’t the time to explain that.
"Thanks Akane!" Yuka giggled right back. So cute. Too cute! There was a flash in her vision there, replacing her friend with a certain pigtailed girl. Ooh! Ranma in a bikini! Was it hot in here, or was Akane thirsty for some other reason? "My family is going to the beach this weekend, and I wanted to look my best."
"Oh, don't worry. You're looking fine," Akane said. Stop leering. Quit leering. That's what the boys do. Ugh! But it was so hard to S-T-O-P! It wasn't even fair, how was she supposed to stop herself when Yuka looked so cute that she could simply gobble the girl up there and then?
"How about this?" Sayuri said, suddenly stepping out of the next dressing room. She put her hand on her hip and cocked her leg forward. Her pretty leg. Her pretty, sexy leg. "Cute skirt, right? I bet the boys will be all over me like this."
If she wasn't careful Akane might put some sugar on that leg and start licking it off. Okay. Okay! So she'd realised she was gay while hanging out with her best friends. That was no excuse to drool over them. Have a little bit of self control!
"Oh, by the way Akane, how is that training going with that cheerleader girl?"
Ah! A life line! "It's going alright," Akane said. "I've already learned a bit. She's starting me off by training me in cheerleading, so that I'll be able to tie it into martial arts later on."
"I bet you make a super cute cheerleader."
Understatement of, like, the entire Y-E-A-R. Akane unconsciously did some high knee lifts while thinking about it. Her friends couldn't see, of course. They were inside their dressing rooms after all. “Ranma sure was shocked to see me doing it though.” Man, wasn’t she lucky she was engaged to someone who became a super cute girl like Ranma?
"I bet he was! Boys perv out over cheerleaders all the time."
"It's the short swishy skirts and the tight tops. Gets 'em every time."
Ooh, now that they mentioned it, yes it did. Definitely worked for her. Mariko and Ranma in those skirts, their smooth legs flying up into the air. The brief flashes of their adorable panties. Akane squirmed in place. So C-U-T-E! Oh! Gosh, she could hardly wait for her next training session with -
"Hi, hi! A-K-A-N-E!" a very familiar and welcome voice cried out. Mariko! The very sight of her made Akane's eyes feel like they were sparkling. Unfortunately she wasn't dressed in her cheerleader uniform, but rather a more ordinary and mundane blouse and skirt combo. Still, she rocked it! Mariko skipped right on over to Akane and kissed her on both cheeks. Platonic greeting. If an enthusiastic one. "Fancy meeting you H-E-R-E!"
"H-Hi Mariko!" Akane beamed. "Clothes shopping today, are we?"
"No silly! I'm here to learn rocket science!"
Gosh, even her sarcasm was adorable. Akane could simply eat her up. Or, more likely, get eaten up herself.
"Oh, hello there," Yuka said, opening up her dressing room. Back in her normal clothes. Much less interesting, though no less cute. "Um... Mariko, is it? I'm Yuka!"
"And I'm- "Sayuri began, before tripping up and falling right on out of her dressing room. Akane's reactions kicked in and caught her before she did herself an injury. "Sayuri!" she finished, not seeming to notice the way that Akane's hand had gone to her chest as though magnetised there.
"Hi, hi!" Mariko waved. "It's so nice to meet Akane's F-R-I-E-N-D-S!" While talking, Mariko had used the bags she was carrying as pompoms in an astonishing bit of improvised cheerleading. Amazing, truly amazing! "So Akane, when do you wanna do your next training sesh? Teehee!"
"Uh..." Akane nervously looked at her friends. "Well, I was kind of thinking tomorrow, but we could do a bit of training tonight if you want? You guys don't mind, do you?"
"Heck no!" Yuka said. "We know how it is for you martial artists."
"Besides, I bet Ranma loves it when you come home rocking that uniform."
Yes. She probably did love it. Maybe as much as Akane loved it when Ranma showed up in her own uniform that one time... Anyway! Akane shook her head. "Oh, that reminds me. Do you have that uniform ready?"
"Yeppers!" Mariko performed a cute little twirl. "It's all, like, sized up and everything. You're gonna love its design. Picked it out myself! I went for something red. To suit your name. You know?" Mariko tittered and flipped back her glorious, radiant hair. She'd let it hang loose today for some reason instead of tied up in a bun. It looked amazing on her. Akane had the impression any style would. "Oh, also. I have this new coach coming over, and she's super excited to meet you guys. It's too short notice to invite Ranma, though. So, just the three of us tonight, tee hee!"
Just the three of them? On the one hand Akane felt kind of disappointed. A little alone time training with Mariko would really H-E-L-P her improve. On the other, having a coach present would probably H-E-L-P a lot as well.They'd be able to focus on training, and she'd probably improve faster too!
"Oh, by the way?" Mariko said, smiling sweetly at Yuka and Sayuri. "You should go for, like, that green swimsuit instead, and you should get those jeans. The two of you would suit those a whole lot more. 'Kay? See ya tonight 'Kane! B-Y-E for now!"
"Huh... she's way less of a bitch than I remember," Sayuri muttered. "Also, Akane... You can let go of me now."
"Oops, sorry!" Had she been holding Sayuri's chest that entire time?! How embarrassing! Gosh. This lesbian thing was going to take a whole lot of work! A lot more than she was expecting!
Which was great as far as she was concerned. Sure, Akane liked feminine things... But she loved being challenged even more!
<hr>
Of course, Akane was not the only one that had been affected by Mariko's 'training'. Ranma had been as well, though not to nearly the same extent. Of course, Ranma was already into girls so the effect wouldn't really be noticed very easily even if someone were looking for it, but you get the idea.
The main thrust of it was that today, Ranma had spent about ninety percent of it as a girl. This, to anyone who knew him, was highly unusual. But neither Ranma nor anyone that knew him/her had particularly paid it any mind. Sometimes Ranma was a boy, sometimes Ranma was a girl.
In the meantime she was going about her business. As for what Ranma's business was, that was simple enough: Free food!
"Yo Uchan!" Ranma said while entering her best friend's shop. "How's business today?"
"Better now that you're here, hun!" Ukyo answered while already preparing Ranma's favourite okonomiyaki. "Settle in, it'll be ready in a minute."
Ranma did exactly that, leaning on the non-heated part of the counter while looking closely at her friend. "Man, it's kinda weird I ever thought you were a guy," Ranma said, causing Ukyo to almost drop her spatula in the process. Ukyo coughed. "How the heck did you even pretend to be a boy anyway?"
"Aw, Ranchan! I know I'm the cute fiancee," Ukyo began. Then, without even pausing for breath, her voice became several octaves lower. Some may even call it 'butch'. "I'm pretty well practised at this point in being manly if I want to."
Ranma considered this for a moment. "It's cuter when you don't," she decided.
Now seems like a good time to draw attention to certain other facts. Namely, Ranma's clothing. Under normal conditions the clothes that Ranma picked were decidedly gender neutral. Loose fitting trousers and a shirt. When switching forms they wouldn't look out of place, save for perhaps being a touch baggier than normal on his/her girl form.
Well, not so much today. In fact, Ranma's trousers looked pretty snug. If she changed back into a he right now, they'd probably tear at the seams from his bigger build. The same went for the shirt on her back. Normally quite baggy, now it was filled out quite nicely. There wasn't a chance that such a shirt could be worn by a man the same way that a woman wore it.
What was more, Ranma's hair had changed as well. It was subtle, but rather than a cute pigtail that would look manly on a guy and girly on a chick, Ranma's hairstyle had changed into a ponytail. So you see? Ranma didn't look any different until you really took in the little details.
Now just in case you were thinking things were a touch too peaceful around here, it was at this moment that the <i>epitome</i> of masculinity within Furinkan happened to be walking by at that very moment. He spotted Ranma sitting inside Uchan's enjoying some nice okonomiyaki... Which was far too pedestrian a dish for one such as she!
"Pigtailed girl!" Tatewaki Kuno yelled, striding inside Uchan's with his usual flare. "Let me take you away from this hovel -"
He lasted about ten seconds before being pounded into the dirt by both girls. A fitting metaphor, wouldn't you say?
- That night, Akane meets Coach Nodoka and the three start her training session!
- Tragically, Kuno’s a more persistent annoyance then Ranma and Ukyo like.
- Meanwhile, Yuka and/or Sayuri are being affected by the Lesbian Shard as well.
- Shampoo sees Akane sneaking off. What’s she doing, and can she use this?
- Something Else
