Chapter 7: A Little Competition
The research team was currently planning how to use the Elements of Harmony on the two. But other than that it was pretty quiet. Except for one thing.
Stan complaining.
He often drank at the bar with Makarov during his breaks, but that was the reason why he was comparing.
"All of the tourists that came here when this happen are more interested in gong to all the Japanese places because it's like visiting Japan without actually going there!" he complained.
"You know technically they are partially in Japan right?" asked Cologne.
"I mean without the expensive plane trip." Corrected Stan.
"Please you think you need a tacky tourist trap to make money in this situation?" asked Nami going to sit next to Stan.
"Oh what would you know about making money?" asked Stan.
"Well for one case your method is sloppy." Said Nami, "You're too obvious, you have to be subtle. Then again you're old and from the sounds of it you tend to go after idiot tourists. So I guess you're a bit rusty."
Nami slammed Stan's wallet on the bar.
"How did you?" asked Stan.
Nami just stuck her tongue out as a response it.
Stan started laughing.
"Oh man, you're good." He said.
"I wonder how good you were back in the day." Said Nami.
"Are you saying I'm out of my game." Said Stan glaring at her.
"No of course not." Said Nami, "You're just rusty…"
"Oh you want to put your money where you mouth is?" asked Stan.
"Gladly." Said Nami.
Sakura was sitting with Lucy, Lisanna, Akane and Alex at a table.
"Oh man there's two of them." Muttered Sakura face palming.
"Why are you surprised?" asked Lucy, "After the last few days you saw how things are."
"Good point." Sighed Sakura.
"Besides it's not like it can…" said Lisanna.
That was when both Akane and Alex both shut her mouth.
"Don't jinx us!" hissed Akane.
"So from the sounds of it you're having a competition about money." Said a voice form the doorway.
"Oh man." Sighed Akane face palming.
That voice from the doorway was Nabiki.
"Oh hello Nabiki." Said Belle who was talking with Ino, "I wasn't expecting you to show up here."
"I was bored." Said Nabiki with a shrug, "That and Prism' having a bad day."
Everyone who lived in the Tendo Dojo seemingly gagged.
"What's the problem with a bad day?" asked Nami.
"Prism Star does not like wearing a diaper." Said Diana.
"So what? A lot of babies like getting rid of them." Said Stan.
"Not only that but thanks to her abilities she can fly in both pony and human form." Said Diana.
"Wait so…" piped up Naruto.
"Yes… we've all had death from above at least once." Sighed Ranma.
That was when the rest of the Guild Hall gagged.
"I think we can all be thankful that we don't behave to deal with flying babies who hate diapers." Said Kyubi.
"So you two said something about a money competition?" asked Nabiki, "I'm in."
Stan started laughing.
"You seriously want to go against us?" asked Stan, "I'm one of the best conmen out there and she's a pirate thief."
"He's right, you don't stand a chance." Said Nami.
"I think I have a chance." Said Nabiki.
A cold chill swept the entire Guild Hall.
"Oh man… this is really bad…" said Akane on the verge of crying.
"I'm sure we'll be immune to their money making schemes." Said Lisanna.
Akane fell face first into the table.
"She all right?" asked Sakura with a sweat drop.
"She'll be fine…" sighed Alex who seemed to be glaring at Nabiki.
"all right! Some ground rules!" said Nami, "My crew is out of bounds. Especially Luffy and Naruto!"
"Fine." Said Stan.
"No problem…" said Nabiki with a shrug.
"If she has people off limits, then I do the twins and Soos are off limits." Said Stan.
"Thank you Mr. Pines!" said Soos with his eye sparkling.
"It's because he's easy to fool isn't it?" whispered Nami which made Stan nod.
Stan nodded.
They looked at Nabiki, she just had a smug look on her face.
"I don't have any rules for me." Said Nabiki.
Akane sighed heavily.
"She's going to do it? Isn't she?" asked Akane.
"Looks like it Sugar Cube." Said Alex.
"Do what?" asked Lisanna.
"Don't ask…" cried Akane.
"So what's the prize." Said Stan.
"Winner takes all." said Nami.
"And the losers have to do a song and dance!" called out Mabel.
"we're not doing that Mabel"! called out Stan.
"Do we want to know?" asked Nabiki.
"No you don't!" said Stan, "And no one sing the song either!"
"Oh come on! It's so catchy!" said Natsu.
"We even have proof you think so too." Said Carla.
Stan started grumbling.
"From 8 to 8 tomorrow!" said Stan.
"Agreed." Said Nami.
"Fine with me." Said Nabiki.
And so began the competition to make the most money.
Of course that night their loved ones talked about the competition.
At the Tendo Dojo.
"Seriously Nabiki… this is a really bad idea." Said Rarity.
"You're up against an old con man and a pirate thief. You're a severe disadvantage." Said Akane.
"That's something I have to worry about." Said Nabiki with a smirk.
She then closed a door.
Both of them sweat dropped as she did realizing something.
"She has a plan doesn't she?" asked Rarity.
"Oh yeah…" said Akane.
"That warning wasn't needed, was it?" asked Rarity.
"No…" said Akane.
At the Mystery Shack…
"Look there's way I can stop you on this." Said Erza, "So there's nothing I can say just don't steal any animatronic badgers and don't kill any llamas."
"I keep telling you! The Llama knew too much!" said Stan.
"It was a llama!" yelled Erza, "It knew nothing!"
On the Thousand Sunny, in the girl's room, Nami was overlooking a rudimentary map she had created in her spare time.
She looked at the others.
"So you aren't going to persuade me to stop?" asked Nami.
"No." sighed Sakura.
"Not at all." Sighed Ino.
"No." said Hinata.
"I have no plans to." Said Robin.
"Not a good idea." Sighed Isaribi.
"I'm new, I still need to get to know you." Admitted Fu.
"Oh…" said Nami, "What about getting caught?"
"I heard that the deputy of Gravity Falls got his head stuck in a bucket today." Said Ino.
"And there's word that no one knows if Furinkan has a police force." Said Sakura.
"I don't think you'll get caught." Said Robin with a smirk.
"Oh… okay then." Said Nami.
The next morning all three of looked at the clocks and knew it was 8… it was time for the completion.
Stan began to plan out his scams for the day, Nami planned out which were would be the best place to pick pockets while Nabiki started reading a book.
Around 10 both Nami and Stan began making their moves.
Fu meanwhile, while she was still new to the crew she through it would be best to avoid any signs of civilization while the money competition was going on.
After all while she was immune the competition it still felt like it was something to avoid, she decided to fly around.
"Hey! Nice moves." Said a voice.
She turned and saw Rainbow Dash flying around.
"So trying to avoid the money contest too?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah." Laughed Fu.
"Aren't you immune?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"I'm still going avoid it." Said Fu.
"Trust me you haven't seen the worst of it." Said Rainbow Dahs.
"I see." Said Fu.
"Why did I get a chill from what she just said." Said Chomei.
Fu shrugged.
"Is everything okay?" asked Rainbow Dash confused by the shrug.
"It's fine." Said Fu.
"You know… I haven't competed with someone in a while when it comes to flying." Said Rainbow Dash.
"Really so you want to do it." Said Fu.
"Oh yeah!" said Rainbow Dash.
"Why do I have a sudden feeling of doom?" asked Chomei.
"I don't have it." Answered Fu out loud.
"What are you talking about?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Nothing! You ready to get started?" asked Fu.
"Oh yeah!" said Rainbow Dahs.
And the little completion had began, neither one o them realizing the problems the competition would bring to the trapped area.
Nami was walking through a crowd at a super market. As she did she heard the calls of "My wallets gone!"
"Mine too!" yelled another.
"Oh man! Why I had a picture of Adam West in it!" yelled a third person, "WHY!"
Nami smirked.
With Stan he had the perfect scam. Selling a bunch of cheep restaurant chopstick (which he might have stole from someone), paint them and sell them to the people of Gravity Falls and Tourists.
And that was just the start.
"My next one will be even more perfect." He laughed.
With Nabiki she was looking trough a photo alum, while eating a cupcake.
The in the woods Rainbow Dash just did a loop de loop followed by a barrel roll.
"Beat that!" said Rainbow Dash.
"Oh yeah! I'll beat that!" said Fu.
She did the same thing, and added a flair with some of her dust.
"Impressive!" said Rainbow Dash.
They heard some clapping.
They looked down and saw it was the Cutie Mark Crusaders in human form.
"That's so cool she can fly as a human!" said Suzette.
"Wait are you one of the pirates or wizard?" asked Blossom.
"Pirate! I don't know if any of the wizard coupled even fly without one of their cats." Said Fu with a sweat drop.
At the Guild Hall at the exact same moment Erza, Freed, Dipper and Evergreen sneezed.
"That was weird." Said Mabel.
"Someone must have said that you can't fly with magic." Said Momo, "Or something else they all in common…"
Back with flying competition…
"I bet Rainbow Dash can beat you even if you were a wizard." Said Haruka.
"Oh yeah! It's on then!" cheered Fu.
"The sense of dread has gotten worse…" said Chomei.
Meanwhile the Furinkan High Anime Club (Sans one member) decided to meet at a café.
"I'm so jealous of Momo." One of them complained the named Arashi.
"I know right! A weird amalgam world of Naruto and One Piece… a slightly AU version of Fairy Tail… it's no where near canon…" said a girl named Megumi.
"Yeah, Erza was caught up in some time warp, got married, had kids, got divorced…" said Emi who was the president.
"Don't care…" said all but one of the male members.
"How to do even know that?" asked Shou (who was a member).
"I got curious and asked the people of Gravity Falls… also Momo apparently she found out about the time warp thing." Said Emi.
"Look none of that is important…" muttered one of the members who was named Shingo.
"Let me guess.." said Shou.
"Oh please Shou, we know he's going to say…" said Emi.
"Hikaru is working with Robin, Levy, Freed and Erza's son!" muttered Shingo, "Why her of all people!"
"Because she's smart?" asked the last member a boy named Hiro.
"Can you lay off your grudge for as long we're in their situation?" asked Emi, "She's the smartest student in school and you know it."
"Hey is that Nami?" asked Megumi.
They noticed Nami walking nearby.
As se walked passed the table one of their members suddenly jumped up with their eyes sparkling and saying "Excuse! You're Nami right!"
Nami turned around and looked at them.
"Yeah…" said Nami.
"How much would it be to take some selfies with you?" she asked.
"How much do you got?" asked Nami.
She took out quite a few cash from her wallet.
"Don't' try to short change me okay." Said the member.
"Fine…" said Nami.
And so Emi and Nami took some selfies together and Nami got her money.
The other members of the club stared at Emi as they took selfies tougher.
Once Nami paid her she left.
"That weird, but at least I got money…" said Nami with a shrug.
Emi sat back down with her friends.
"Emi… that was terrifying for many reasons I can't name." said Shou.
"Shut up." Muttered Emi.
Meanwhile with Stan., he was selling "authentic" Japanese knickknacks.
"Seriously?" asked a voice.
Stan noticed the cooking team (minus Momo… though to be honest they started to wonder if she was a officially part of the cooking team)
"What are you doing out here?" asked Stan.
"Shopping." Said Ukyo.
He then noticed Sanji was holding several boxes while pink hearts came from him.
"I can see that now…" said Stan.
"Seriously none of them look like authentically Japanese." Said Ukyo.
"Uh… uh… smoke bomb." Said Stan.
He tossed a smoke bomb and got away.
The cooking team stared where they assumed he ran away towards.
"Is he like that all the time?" asked Ino with a sweat drop.
"Of course." Said Mirajane.
"Uh-huh…" said Ukyo with a massive sweat drop.
With Nabiki she was texting someone with the emergency phone that was given to the Tendo Dojo to call the Guild Hall as a whole in case of emergencies.
"Oh there's the emergency phone." Said Kasumi, "I was worried about it. "
"I'll put it back when I'm done with it." Said Nabiki.
"All right." Said Kasumi.
In the forest, Chiyo, Chopper and Ryoga were walk in the forest when they saw Rainbow Dash fly over them.
"What is she doing?" asked Ryoga.
That was when they saw Fu flying the same way Rainbow flew.
"It looks like a competition." Said Chopper.
"I hope Rainbow Dahs doesn't get caught." Said Chiyo.
"Will any on figure it out?" asked Chopper.
"Well Ryoko was able to figure it out, and a couple of Pinkie Pie's anime friends also figured it out quickly." Said Chiyo.
"Unless she does the Rainboom I'm sure nothing will go wrong." Sid Ryoga.
Chiyo stared at Ryoga.
"Let head to the Guild Hall." Said Ryoga with a sweat drop.
"They need to be warned." Said Chiyo.
"Wait what are you talking about?" asked Chopper.
Meanwhile with Nami she had made her way to a bar.
"This would be the perfect place to steel from." She said.
The Bouncer her let by, she went in and less then 10 second later she went out.
The Skull Fracture wasn't the place to pick pockets.
Meanwhile Stan decided to pull the ultimate switch-a-roo…
Selling things to the Japanese…
Like atheistic lucky branches from America.
He didn't know why they were selling but they were.
"Lucky Tree branches from America?" asked a boy named Daisuke.
"Who would be dumb to buy that?" asked a named Hiroshi.
"I'll buy 20!" yelled a random person.
"Never mind." Said Hiroshi with a sweat drop.
At the Tendo Residence Nabiki was leaving.
"I'll be gone for a couple hours." Said Nabiki, "I don't know when I'll be home."
"All right." Called out Soun .
Discord and Bill were watching Nabiki.
"Hmmm…" said Bill.
"Don't think of making a deal with her for fun." Said Discord, "She's one person who would probably turn that del around and end up owning you."
"Sounds like my may Reverse Self!" laughed Bill.
Both of them started laughing.
"But seriously… I think you might right." Said Bill becoming pale.
Discord nodded.
Sometime later the flying competition was going on. Natsu, Luffy, Naruto and Happy all got wind of it were now watching.
Fu just finished her routine while Rainbow Dahs was scowling.
"Why aren't you joining Happy?" asked Naruto.
"I don't have enoguh magic for this be honest." Said Happy.
That was when there was a loud noise like something was falling from the sky. They all dodged it, it turned out it was Kuno who landed nearby while covered in soot.
"Why those foul Northwests! They will pay for using such disgraceful attics!" yelled Kuno who ran off.
"That was weird." Said Natsu.
"I wonder what happened?" asked Luffy.
"Something tells me it's connected to the A Plot." Said Kyubi, "It was just random… either or…"
They turned their attention back to the flying commotion.
"Oh you think that will beat me! I have a trick that I doubt you can beat!" laughed Rainbow Dash.
She flew high into the air and then flew back at very fast speeds until suddenly there was an explosion of color.
"Whoa!" said Luffy.
"So awesome"! yelled Naruto.
"Yeah… glad I'm not part of that." Said Happy.
"Yes! A sonic Rainboom!" cheered Haruka.
Rainbow Dahs smiled but then she remember the side effect of a Sonic Rainboom.
Back at the Guild Hall… Chiyo, Ryoga and Chopper told them about the flying competition.
"Oh I'm sure it will be fine." Said Alex.
"Yes, I'm sure Rainbow Dahs is not that…" said Princess Luna.
That was when Momo's eyes started to twitch, her elbows started to shake, then he eye started to flutter.
All of the ponies turned humans looked at her.
"Wait is that the one that means door or rainbow?" asked Hikaru.
"Rainbow." Momo said very quickly.
"EVERYONE GET AWAY FROM GLASS!" yelled Hikaru in a panic.
"What?" asked eyesore who weren't aware of the Sonic Rainboom.
That was when the Rainboom hit the Guild Hall and everything that was made of glass shattered.
Back with the competition.
Rainbow Dash flew down.
"Well you win." Said Rainbow Dash.
"What! But that so awesome! There's no way I can beat that"! said Fu.
Before Rainbow Dash could explain.
"RAINBOW DASH!" they heard Diana yell out extremely loudly.
"I broke everything made of glass in the area." Said Rainbow Dash.
Fu stared at her with a sweat drop.
"And that was the ominous feeling I go. "said Chomei.
That night, it was a little past 8 when all three made it to in-between the Tendo Dojo and the Mystery Shack.
"All right! I made 16,350 yen and 278 dollars." Said Stan with a smirk.
"Oh that's a valiant effort but I made 20,800 yen and 296 dollars." Said Nami.
"Whoa! You picked that many people?" asked Stan.
"No a few people paid me to take pictures with them… it was weird…" said Nami with a sweat drop.
"Huh…" said Stan.
"So Nabiki how much did you make?" asked Stan.
"I bet it's not much." Said Nami.
Nabiki took out a large stack of 100-dollar bills.
"3,000 dollars." Said Nabiki with a smile.
Both of them stared at Nabiki in shock.
"No way!" yelled Nami.
"How did you manage that?" asked Stan.
"selling weapons." Said Nabiki.
Both of them laughed.
"No really? How did you do it? "asked Stan.
"You see it's quite simple." sad Nabiki, "I sold pictures of my sister, Ranma in girl from as well as the ponies minus Luna and the fillies in their human from, all caught in comprising positions that I acquired over quite a bit of time to the Northwests to use as weapons in the war against the Kunos. Kuno-baby has such a weakness to all of them and it using one of them as a sort of weapons test. We used one of them to lure him into a trap and it worked! The explosion sent him flying. So they paid 3,000 dollars for quite a few of them."
Both of them stared at Nabiki in shock.
"That… that's why you didn't give your sister or any of your friends immunity!" said Nami, "You were planning to use them the whole time!"
Nabiki shrugged and took the rest of the money.
"Pleasure doing business with you!" said Nabiki taking the money the other tow had gotten.
Both of them just stood there.
"Hey Nami…" said Stan, "You have a sister?"
"I would never do anything like that to my sister!" yelled Nami.
"Good!" said Stan, "Because if it's one thing that I learned one thing over the years that's family is one of the most important things there are."
"That's something I learned the hard way myself." Said Nami.
The two shook hands.
"So… you think…" said Stan.
"I'll have to think about it." Said Nami.
"She diverse it!" said Stan.
"Oh yeah!" said Nami.
And so a friendship bloomed between the two of them and together they would figure out how to steal the money from Nabiki…
Hopefully… because that was just evil…
Oh and Rainbow Dash and Fu had to clean up The Girl Hall, the Guild Dorms, the Thousand Sunny, the Strauss house, the Tendo Residence, Ucchan's Okonomiyaki, the Cat Café and Rarity's dress making studio because of all of the damage the competition did.
Yeah… that had to be said…
Next Time: Mabel learns that Naruto and Hinata like each other but are too nervous to say it. Ino and Sakura team up with her to get the tow finally confess... will they be able to do it? Meanwhile Sanji discovers about Ranma's fiancé situation. How will he react. Also what about the Element of Harmony Plan? Find out next time!
A/N: Seriously, all three are greedy, but Nami and Stan's both come from a similar place (their family), Nabiki on the other hand is just evil and has sold pictures of her sister multiple times... like I said, no one complain!
