SailorStar9: The prologue goes up and no reviews? You guys don't love me anymore! *Wails*
Disclaimers: I own not both animes or the pairing.
Chapter 1: Sea! Monkeys!
"We're here!" Gou beamed, jumping straight into the ocean once the airplane landed when Jirōmaru jumped in with him.
"Everyone," Chīko called. "The race course at the resort will be finished in the afternoon. So, please relax in the ocean until then."
"We're already relaxing." Jirōmaru replied.
"But I never expected Ryo to come along too." Tokichi remarked.
"As long as I get to race with everyone, I'm willing to come anytime." Ryo explained.
"Is that the real reason, or is it because of a certain someone?" Tokichi grinned mischievously.
"Tokichi!" Ryo stammered.
"Tokichi, you'd better be careful what's the next thing that comes out of your mouth." Ami warned. "I might end up drowning you if you say something wrong. And gawk long enough, you two, and you'll give me a complex." She joked, both boys gaping at her.
"I'm still trying to figure you out." Ryo admitted.
"Yeah," Ami raised a teasing brow. "When you do, let me know since I'm still trying to figure myself out."
"Big brother!" Jirōmaru called, cutting off Tokichi's attempt at teasing the older racer. "It's wonderful!"
"Boys will always be boys." Ami sighed, as she and Chīko watched the two pairs of brothers race towards the wooden platform on their floats.
"Retsu-sama, do your best!" Chīko cheered. "The first to reach the platform in front wins."
"Get out of my way!" Tokichi came in on his parachute.
"You're despicable, Tokichi!" Gou retorted.
"What do you mean?" Tokichi shrugged and overtook the four siblings. "I'm the first!" he landed on the platform. "You're only arrived now? It's too late. What are you doing?" he demanded, the four boys tossing him into the water.
"That's what happens to bad guys." Gou declared.
"That makes it even." Jirōmaru agreed.
"You'd better remember this!" Tokichi swore.
"Maybe we should've laid some ground rules for this." Ami noted.
"Monkeys?" Chīko echoed once Gou, Tokichi and Jirōmaru returned.
"But why monkeys?" even Retsu was confused.
"Magnum was taken away too." Gou added.
"Spin Cobra fell into the sea and the parts inside was ruined." Tokichi whined, draining the water out of his car.
"The only one left the Retsu-aniki's Sonic." Gou remarked.
"So you're telling me to challenge the monkeys?" Retsu asked.
"If there's any other way, we won't be this tired out." Gou retorted.
"But…" Retsu protested.
"Monkeys are fiercely territorial." Ryo cut in. "From their point of view, we're the invaders. But we can't let our beloved machines be taken away."
"That's right." Tokichi agreed. "The cars belonging to everyone in the island were taken away too."
"That's true." Retsu mused.
"So, it's decided." Tokichi declared. "Let's lay out our plans."
Ami looked on in amusement as Chīko went ballistic on Gou and Jirōmaru's collective assess after the boys returned without Tokichi.
"Shouldn't we be stopping her?" Retsu asked, worriedly, Ryo nodding in agreement.
Ami just gave the two boys a look said 'Are you stupid?'.
"Right…" Ryo muttered.
"Now I think of it, what did happen to Tokichi?" Ami wondered outloud.
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
