Dan woke up. When the trio of money makers had got back to their places, Dan lay in his sleeping bag and thought throughout the night. He realised that letter from that Major Mario person had arrived quite conveniently, and that perhaps his luck was turning. Then he thought about how this mysterious stranger had even known about his money troubles. Did he simply delight in the suffering that Dan had endured? Was he an evil mastermind? It was a rather gruelling job. He sat up in bed at a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Dan shouted, groggy from a lack of sleep.
"Postman!" A shout from the door reached Dan's ears. Groaning at his creaky legs, he managed to get to the door.
"What is it?" He asked, squinting.
"Post." The postman spoke gruffly, handing a letter to Dan.
"Thanks…" Dan took the letter. He read it in his head.
"Aw, you've got your friends helping you! How sweet! Are they really helping you, or are they doubting everything you do? You should paint them up to look like freaks, then push them out into public view. Imagine the embarrassment they'll go through! Oh, and I guess you could earn a bit of money on the side as well, if you care about that." Yours truly, Major Mario.
Dan grinned evilly. Sakura and Blanka had laughed at him all day yesterday, hadn't they? And what did they do? Bring him water? That's it? Right!
An idea began to form in Dan's head.
"Hibiki-san! Where are you?" Dan was getting ready to initiate his plan. Hiding behind the door with rope at the ready, he waited until they were four feet in front of him, then ran at them.
"Sensei! Wh-ah! Hey! Let go!" Dan had tied up both Sakura and Blanka.
"What are you doing?!" Blanka all but screamed.
"Revenge!" Dan flashed his Colgate smile, and his eyes were wide.
"Hello!" Dan was shouting. "Come to see the freaks! A freaky clown beast man, anda secret freak! The grand unveiling is at four o'clock, people!" Dan had already gained fifty sales at one pound each, so he was in the green. By the time he had finished, he had made 73 sales.
"Hello, everyone! I won't keep you waiting, instead, let's unveil the freaks! The clown beast man and the world's tallest midget!" Dan went behind the curtain, unwrapped Blanka and Sakura from their ropes, pulled the curtain down, and hid behind the stage.
Blanka and Sakura were faced with an angry crowd. Sakura had the same thoughts as them; the world's tallest midget was an old con, and everyone knew who Blanka was. They wouldn't have knowingly paid to see him painted as a clown.
"Daaaaaaaaaaannn!" Sakura shouted, turning to where the pink man was last seen. Instead, she saw a small dust cloud where he had been standing.
"RUUUUUUNNN!" Blanka shouted, chased by the angry crowd. Sakura was much taller than Blanka, and was much more athletic than the crowd, but Blanka's short legs let him down.
'Damn.' Blanka thought as he was surrounded by the angry crowd. He did the only thing he could; surrounded himself with electricity, and while the crowd took a couple of steps back, Blanka followed Sakura to where she was hiding, a tree.
"Heh." Dan chuckled as he counted his money. Seventy-three pounds! He was doing it! He would save the dojo!
"Daaaaaannnn!" A shout came from an aggravated schoolgirl. Dan sweat dropped. Now he just had to save himself…
"What. The. Hell. Was that!" Sakura emphasized each word, clearly venting her frustration. Dan flashed a cocky smile.
"Why, a simple bit of revenge! Yesterday, you were whipping me, and laughing! You've got to make sacrifices too!" As Sakura pondered his words, she was tempted to kick his ass for the umpteenth time. And she gave into the temptation.
"This… will... teach you… to mess… with me!"
"Ow! Ow! Quit it, kid! Ah!OW! STOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPP! I'll buy you LUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNCCCCHHHHHHH !"

And that's the end of another chapter! I must once again thank Major Mario for the inspiration for this chapter. Please give me feedback, I felt as though this chapter was less funny than the others. Regardless, please enjoy!
