Fanfic: Hilfe es weihnachtet!!
Chapter: Part 1 The greeting
Hello!
It's been ages since I wrote FFs, but a little suggestion made me think of a little story at Christmas and I'll publish it in parts by the time of the festival. Have fun here with the first one. ^^
"..." literal speech
°… ° thoughts
Thick, fat white snowflakes fell endlessly from the sky onto the already snow-covered ground. On the last green leaves that protruded from the thick white layer, frost could be seen, which arranged itself in various forms. Dangerous-looking, pointed icicles hung from the gutters of the houses, occasionally reflecting the light of the sun.
This was also the case with the Tendo house. It was early morning on December 20th. Everything seemed calm ... but only from the outside. Inside there was a lot of activity at the morning breakfast on the first day of the holiday.
R: "Hey! Dad! That was the last damn pickle! Spit it out immediately! Besides ..!" he interrupted himself when he saw his father in panda shape "pandas don't eat pickled cucumbers!Especially not as obese as you are! "
And the already accustomed food dispute broke out between father and son. Akane sat in silence and ate her rice, after all she was more than used to the bad behavior of her unwanted fiancé. Kasumi just kneeled on the floor smiling and looked as if she would ask at any moment if anyone wanted tea. Her sister Nabiki was already wide awake and was already thinking about how she could make money again that day. Happosai was once again ironing a wide variety of bras and underpants from all over the city (of course no ironing service, he planned to keep them as collector's items) and whistled around happily. On the other hand, Soun, who had just returned from a phone call and looked really pale, was completely different.
S: "Children! I have ..." he began, but was interrupted by the war cries of Genmas and Ranmas. Rolling his eyes, he started again after a short time when there was silence.S: "Children! I .." Again his words were devoured by the hectic confusion of his old friend, who was fighting with his son for the last spoonful of rice. Soun took a deep breath and screamed
S: "FINALLY STOP QUOTING YOUR CHILDREN'S HEADS AND LISTEN TO ME !!!"
The roar of Soun was accentuated by the headbutt Akane Ranma had just given.
Finally, after the breakfast table was cleared and Ranma and Genma had no more reason to fight for anything, rubbing their bumps in the process, Soun was able to continue.
S: "Children, I have bad news for you guys. I just had a phone call with Aunt Tete." The general enthusiasm on their faces faded and gave way to a faint sight of discomfort.
S: "The whole family has to come by noon today to celebrate Christmas with us."
Kasumi fell over, Nabiki forgot her money for a moment and Akane choked on her tea.
A: "What? !! Everyone !? Today at noon already !!?Dad that doesn't work, you know what chaos always creates! "
N: "What's that supposed to mean? We don't have enough rooms to accommodate the whole pack of- sorry!"
K: "And how can I please cook something to eat for so many people by tonight? I don't have that much in the house !?"
Soun seemed slightly overwhelmed with the situation. He raised his hands defensively.
S: "Children, take it easy! It's only until the 25th! You know, but all of them can only see us once a year!"
N: "Yes, one too many ..." she mumbled and Akane added in her mind ° And why exactly at Christmas ?! °
Ranma, Genma and Happosai sat relatively indifferent and didn't really know what to make of the whole situation.
R: "What's so bad about visiting family?"
Akane shot him a withering look.
A: "You will know that tonight at the latest!" she grumbled, took the last sip of tea from her cup and slammed it on the table.
N: "So Dad what about the room distribution ?!"Soun swallowed and started
S: "Well, Kasumi and you, Nabiki, you sleep in one room, Ranma and Akane in one and Genma, Happosai and I will sleep in my room!"
Nobody seemed to be really enthusiastic about the idea, but least of all, understandably, Ranma and Akane were looking forward to the so-called hours together. With a not very amused look Ranma got up and went up the stairs and began to take everything out of his room to drag it into Akane's room. It took him about 2 hours and when he brought the last luggage to Akane's room, Akane was waiting and looking at him reproachfully.
R: "Don't look at me like that! I'm not particularly enthusiastic about sleeping in a room with a macho woman like you!" Akane stood up snorting angrily.
A: "It's getting off to a great start, you idiot! You're always looking for a fight!"
R: "Oh! Who started the looks here !! ??"
A: "Not me, you always imagine that you Casanova!"R: "Haaach! Big mouth, big bottom!"
A: "What does that have to do with it !? You-"
Their argument was interrupted by a long bell on the front door. Shortly afterwards came a second longer ring. Akane sighed deeply.
A: "Ohh ... they are already ..." She grabbed Ranma by the arm and pulled him behind her, down the stairs to the front door, where the whole family Tendo and Genma had already gathered.
N: "Dad do we have to let her in ?! We could pretend we're not there ?!"
Soun smiled hesitantly.
S: "Hehe ... believe me child, I would prefer that too ... but there is no way around it ..." and he gritted his teeth.
Kasumi straightened her hair again before opening the door. What was offered outside made Ranma's jaw drop to the floor.
Outside in the cold there were about 7 people standing loudly, chatting and arguing with presents in their hands. When Soun cleared his throat, they all fell silent, turned to the door and suddenly shouted a huge "Hello!""All the relatives stormed into the house, began to pinch Soun and his daughters in the cheek, as did Genma, who had just turned into a panda so as not to have to take part in the conversation. When they passed almost everyone with pinched cheeks and wet kisses it was Akane's turn. She smiled agonized as the crowd approached her, her hands already ready to pinch her cheeks. Ranma stood next to her and watched Akane struggle to get as few kisses as possible from a very old man. whose teeth could not have been called white.
When the general greeting was over, everyone looked at Ranma, who winced and was afraid to be greeted like his fiancée. A somewhat skinny elderly lady smelling of alcohol was watching Ranma intensely. She had white, sparse, curly hair and the lines on her already emaciated face were almost like craters.The small, round glasses sat at an angle on the nose, which looked relatively large compared to the whole face.
Tense, Ranma whispered to Akane, "Who is that?"
A: "This is great-grandma Ottilie. She's already 98, so be careful."
In a frail voice, Ottilie Soun asked "Well ... who is this young fellow?"
S: "This is Ranma Saotome, he" but he was interrupted when all the suitcases he had brought were pressed into his arms.
O: "So Ranma. What a cute guy. Let me push you."
R: "Grii ..." Reluctantly, Ranma let herself be pushed back and tried not to breathe in the alcohol.
Gradually he was greeted by the entire family and Akane explained who was who.
After Ottilie came a somewhat younger woman, with a strange style of clothing, a feather hat on her head and glasses on her little nose that enlarged her eyes like a magnifying glass.
A: "That's Aunt Tete"
TT: "Oh..Hello my dear. You really are very sweet siblings. Cute .."After Aunt Tete had gone on, Ranma just pressed a light "Huh?" out. Akane laughed. A: "Aunt Tete is a little confused, you must know. Just like Aunt Lissi."
And she pointed to a trembling elderly lady in a glitter dress and a pearl hat.
TL: "Aaah. Akane and Ranma. How was your wedding? Are the babies up? I really want to see the little ones afterwards." And she went on. Ranma shook herself.
A: "Seems like she's gotten more and more confused over the last few years."
Now it was the turn of a more or less well-known man, the one who had tried to give Akane some of his wet kisses earlier. He was a little more corpulent, wore tight-fitting white trousers and a crocodile leather jacket, and his yellow teeth were in stark contrast to his ashen face and sparse, light brown hair.
A: "This is Uncle Loui, Aunt Tete's husband." while Ranma shook his hand.
OL: "Boy, you'll never believe I'm 67 already.Hahahaha .. "he laughed, lit the next cigarette in passing and blew the smoke into Ranma's face.
R: "God, if he keeps smoking like that, he won't even reach 68 ..." he coughed out.
Immediately afterwards a very friendly and peasant-looking lady appeared. The hair was tied in a loose bun and the blue pleated skirt with the white blouse smelled of detergent. Ranma's face was full of relief to finally get to know a halfway normal relative. But Akane immediately ruined this cheerful disposition.
A: "That’s Grandma Luise ... She doesn’t speak a lot, because the teeth she wears are a little too loose and can easily fall out."
R: ° I feel bad ... .. Is everyone like that here ?! °
Grandma Luise gave a very friendly nod and then followed the others towards the living room. There was an older man in a very old-fashioned checkered tailcoat, which had been patched up in some places, whom Akane introduced to him as Grandpa Arthur, Grandma Luise's husband.After this had also got into the living room, Ranma let out a deep sigh.
R: "God ... Akane, no wonder you turned out like that, with the relatives!" Akane was about to swing her hammer when a bludger rang out.
R: "Auuuu!" Ranma choked out and looked at his bottom, which had just been slapped by a little blond girl with freckles. Akane grinned maliciously.
A: "Oh, I forgot ... This is Fifi. My little 8-year-old cousin, who loves martial arts, especially males, more than anything." And with these words and not without having knocked Ranma with her fist beforehand, she went towards the
