There was a knock on the door of the room. Kasumi shouted "Get up! Children! There's breakfast! Come down!"
Akane threw the covers aside and threw her legs off the bed. She stretched herself long and wide and yawned loudly. She got up and was just beginning to take off her nightgown when she heard a voice right behind her. "In case you've forgotten, you're not alone here!" Akane grabbed her nightgown again and turned to Ranma, who was sleeping on his mattress and looking at her. Akane flushed like a tomato. "What are you thinking of? !! Then at least look away you idiot!" she hissed. Ranma replied calmly, "Don't worry, Akane! You can't copy anything and it doesn't make me hot to see a macho woman like you in underwear!" It took less than two seconds for Ranma to lie in boxer shorts in front of Akane's room and the door was slammed in his face. Furious, he got up and knocked on the door. "Oh come on Akane! Don't act like that, at some point you will find someone who thinks flat boards like you are pretty!And now let me in, I need my clothes !! "For a short moment the door opened, Ranma's clothes and a hard object flew into his face and the door was closed again. Ranma rubbed his bump." Well, thank you too, you bitch! "He exclaimed." Hm crisper Said a voice behind him. Startled, Ranma turned around and saw Aunt Tete. She winked at him while a shiver ran down his spine. When Aunt Tete had walked on, he sighed deeply. ° God ... can get worse it won't come! ° he thought, which turned out to be a mistake. Just as he was bending down to pick up his things, he was hit on the backside. "Hey !!" he shouted and turned around. He only saw how Fifi giggled down the stairs. "That little ... grr" he grunted, took his things and went into the bathroom before anyone could come by and do something.
All hell broke loose at the breakfast table. The whole family was sitting around the dining table and everyone had a fully loaded plate in front of them, which was not least due to the fact that Kasumi had cooked this time.There was loads of freshly fried bacon, vegetables, rice and baskets full of still warm bread, baguettes and croissants. Ranma sat down next to Akane, which Fifi, who sat across from him, regarded with disapproval. He rolled his eyes and piled a large amount of the rice and scrambled eggs on the plate.
During breakfast, Ranma whispered to Akane, "Why didn't you tell me right away that your relatives are so bad ?!" Akane looked at him and replied, "I did, you just didn't want to believe it." And she grinned at him . Ranma grimaced, but it warmed to his heart when he saw her smile. He wondered if this was the right time to ask Akane what she wanted. "Akane, tell me what do you want for Christmas?" She looked at him in amazement. But before she could answer anything, Soun and Genma came into the living room with a huge beautiful Christmas tree in their arms. This was immediately set up in a corner of the room and all kinds of boxes filled with Christmas tree decorations were brought down from the attic.The whole family began to decorate the tree over and over with tinsel, Christmas tree balls, small bows, angels and fairy lights. Finally, there should be a big star on the top of the pine tree. Grandpa Arthur shouted "Well, who wants to do that? .. How about you Fini ... er Fiti ... oh I mean - what's your name, little one?" "Aja, so how about you Fifiopa?" asked Grandpa again. Ranma looked at Akane. "He's got Alzheimer's, don't worry!" explained this to him. Fifi squealed happily and picked up the star. "But I can't get up there ... Ranma pick me up!" called her. When Nabiki saw Ranma's annoyed look, she whispered to him "Do what she says, she is everyone's darling here, you are not doing yourself any good if you refuse. I would of course take your job for 2000 yen" "Great!" Ranma muttered without accepting Nabiki's offer, put Fifi on his shoulders and so she could attach the golden star to the top of the pine tree.When he wanted to put her down again, however, he couldn't help being hugged by Fifi and getting a quick kiss directly on the mouth.
Wiping her mouth, Ranma fell on the sofa in Akane's room. ° Such a .. damn it ... and Akane makes fun of it too. She certainly wouldn't find it funny if that Uncle Loui kissed her .. Lord God again ... Speaking of Akane .. What should I get her now? She doesn't wear jewelry .. She doesn't need make-up .. ° He sighed deeply. At that moment Akane came in. "Hey Ranma! How did the kiss taste?" she laughed and knelt next to him on the sofa. "Very funny! This little monster!" "Do you mean what is behind me here?" Akane asked blankly. Ranma winced. "Just kidding Ranma! You are so tense, get used to kisses, otherwise you will never become anything!" Akane grinned. "Oh yes? Then get used to your uncle's kisses!" Ranma grumbled. "That is not the same!" Akane disagreed."Yes it is!" "No it is not" "Yes!" "No!" "Yes!" "No !!" They were so arguing that they pressed their heads together. But suddenly Akane lost his balance, fell from the sofa to the floor and Ranma flew straight down with the pressure he had just exerted. There was a loud rumble. When Ranma opened his eyes again, he saw that he and Akane were lying on the floor, so that Ranma was lying on Akane. Their eyes met. Nobody said anything. They just looked each other in the eye, and as if they were sinking into one another, their heads came closer.
Suddenly Aunt Tete stormed into her room, but stopped short when she saw the pose in which Akane and Ranma were, who were staring at her in amazement. Aunt Tete cleared her throat and then said briefly "Well, you already know that something like this is called inbreeding among siblings?! .." She waited for an answer, but Ranma and Akane only looked at each other briefly and separated then as if stung by the tarantula and kept a minimum distance.Both sat there with fiery red faces. "Well ... I just wanted to let you know that your father plans to go to a ski lodge with all of us over Christmas. We wanted to discuss everything below, so if you could please hurry now." And with a jerk she turned um, went out of the room and closed the door.
"Um ... yes, well ... I'll go downstairs ..." Ranma stuttered and walked out of the room. ° Only one cm, only one cm… ° he moaned in his mind. Immediately afterwards Akane got up and left the room to go downstairs with the thought ° It almost worked ... only an inch !! °
"Well, it is as follows: I received a very cheap offer to go to a ski hut in the mountains with the whole family over the Christmas weekend. We are going in an hour," said Soun solemnly. "We don't have to take anything with us except our clothes and of course the presents haha!" he laughed at the whole family, who were glowing with joy."Yeah, that's going to be great, over Christmas in a ski hut, when it snows, festive lighting, good food ..." He interrupted himself when he noticed that there was no one left in the room to listen to him. Everyone had already run to their rooms to pack suitcases.
Annoyed, Ranma got out of the car and took a deep breath of the fresh, cold mountain air. He had had to spend the two-hour drive with great-grandma Ottilie and her terrible smell of alcohol. Grandpa Arthur hadn't made it any better by asking what Ranma's name was again every 5 minutes. Now he looked at the ski hut, covered with a thick layer of snow, which was directly in front of him. The whole family, who had just got out of the taxis, was amazed. The hut was made of wood, with long icicles hanging from the roof, and garlands with red bows hanging along the gutter. Behind the windows you could already see a warm fire burning in the fireplace. Soun turned to the taxi driver and gave him money.“So thank you again and Merry Christmas!” The taxi driver replied “Yes, you too, but don't forget, the taxi service will only be available again from December 27th, until then you will be practically closed to the world. So have fun, As far as I know, the housekeeper preheated the hut and made the beds and left about 20 minutes ago. You are now the proud owner of the house for a few days! Ciau! "And the taxis drove off.
The distribution of the rooms was hardly different this time, only the fact that Ranma and Akane now had single rooms was different. However, this led to confusion for Aunt Lissi, who did not understand how a married couple could have separate rooms and leave the children at home alone.
Akane took her things out of the suitcase and hung them in the old wooden cupboard. The room was quite small, but comfortable. There was a small bed directly under the window that offered a direct view of the valley through the sloping roof.A thick white duvet and a cherry-red pillow lay on the bed. There was a large fluffy brown rug on the wooden floor and the walls were decorated with small paintings and lamps, with very soft lighting. There was a large half-burned candle on the bedside table, and matches lay next to it.
She went to the window and dreamily watched the thick snowflakes that fell from the sky and glittered in the bright light of the midday sun. A knock on her door pulled her out of her trance. Ranma stepped in and said, "Hey, we all want to go skiing outside. Are you coming?" Akane looked at him. Somehow he was looking good in the unbuttoned black shirt and white ski pants. "Akane?" he asked when she didn't answer. "Uh .. uh, yeah, I'll be right downstairs. I just have to change." She stammered out. "OK!" Ranma grinned and closed the door behind her again. Akane hit his cheek a few times and shook his head.° what's the matter with me lately ... ° she thought confused and started to put on her ski suit.
Ranma was waiting for her alone downstairs. "Hey where are the others?" Akane asked. "They already went ahead because you took too long macho women again!" answered Ranma. A moment later he was maneuvered outside into a pile of snow and Akane trudged
