To the End of the Moon! (And Over the Edge)
By Tannim Murphy and Taiteki Kagato
Disclaimer: Ranma 1/2 does not belong to us. Neither does Sailor
Moon, nor do any of the other series we mention, belong to us. We are
not making any money off of this, so please do not sue.
Nothing much to say. Tannim, in his endless wisdom, goofed a bit, and
I had to correct him.. but that's not really important. Anyways.. I
don't know what else to write up here, so.. just read the fic. ^^
Perhaps this really will become a Daily, or near so, thing? The side
stories we both did covered the two days we didn't post anything, so
by my count we've gotten a total of six parts off in six days. Pretty
scary, eh? If you want more (or less) you're going to have to e-mail
us! Otherwise each part will stay as short as we normally do 'em.
Part Four Begin!

Setsuna stared at Rei.
Rei stared at Setsuna.
A breeze drifted through the temple, caught Sailor Pluto's skirt, and
lifted it as high as it could go.
Pluto blinked. Then she sweatdropped.
"..." Rei stared, watching Setsuna do something so bizarre... before
doubling over in laughter. After a few moments Rei was able to
control her laughter to a controllable level, so that she could speak
again.
"Ha, ha! That's great, Setsuna! Just like something out on my manga!
But..." Rei's laughter slowed down to a trickle, "why are 'you' doing
it? Ah-ha-ha... That's something Usagi or Minako would try to do.
Heh. And how did you do that, anyway?" The sheer craziness of the
situation finally caught up to Rei, and she stopped laughing all
together.
An eyebrow had been twitching vigorously on Setsuna's face. A small
vein began to pulse as the anger at the entire situation began to
catch up to the Senshi of Time. Now Rei was laughing at her? This
was the last straw.
Time to teach 'Sailor Mars' some respect for the Oldest Senshi.
---
Nabiki eyed the general craziness for a moment more before standing
up.
"While having a mystery guest drop in with no memory is amusing," she
admitted to the world in general, "I was planning on going to the
beach today. If you'll excuse me..."
Nabiki turned to go, only to find a teary-eyed Bunny standing in front
of her.
"Ohhh, can I go to the beach with you? Can I can I can I pleeeeeease?
I might be able to remember something!"
Nabiki opened her mouth to respond, and then paused. An insult might
start the waterworks again, and if Bunny got Soun going, they'd have
to pay for more water damage than a re-surfaced wreck.
"Would you happen to have any," asked Nabiki, getting a gleam in her
eye, "money on you?"
Bunny checked her pockets, and pulled out a LARGE wad of yen. Nabiki
had to hold back drool.
The mercenary Tendo started to think about how to get Bunny to give it
up piece by piece, then shrugged, and grabbed it all.
"This ought to pay for the ride to the beach, and everything else.
It'll even cover your rent for a few days." Nabiki nodded to Bunny
with a smile, seeing the girl begin to respond to her actions. "Come
on! Let's go have fun!" Usagi suddenly forgot the money, and nodded
happily.
Soun cried to himself in the corner. He would have to stay and wait
for his niece Usagi like a good uncle, and wouldn't be able to join in
the fun.
Nabiki looked over Bunny. "First, we've got to get you the proper
gear."
"Huh?" asked Bunny dumbly.
Nabiki grabbed Bunny's hand and left, with Kasumi following... as well
as Ranma, Akane, Kuno, Kodachi, Ukyou, Mousse, Shampoo, Cologne,
Happosai, Ryouga, Hiroshi, Daisuke, Copycat Ken, Taro, Herb, Lime,
Mint, Saffron, Kiima, Mikado Sanza-ninny, Azusa, Gosenkugi, Lum,
Ataru, Mendo, Megane, the rest of Lum's Fan Club, Urd, Skuld,
Belldandy, Keiichi, Tenchi, Ryouko, Ryo-Ohki, Ayeka, Sasami, Nobuyuki,
Yosho, Washuu, Mihoshi, Kiyone, Hikaru, Umi, Fuu, Kazuya, May,
Nanbara, Sara, Kasumi Tani, Rena, Kei, Mami, Kazuki, Mitsuki Senada,
Mitsuki Rara, Yayoi, Dee, Hibiki Amawa, Kurage, Fuuko, Fujio, Miho,
Seiko, Fukae, his two friends, Kouji Hakumori, Toufukuji, Kei and
Mizuho Kusanagi, Herikawa, Hyousuke, Matagu, Ichigo, Miaka, Yui,
Tamahome, Hotohori, Nuriko, Chichiri, Tasuki, Mitsukake, Chiriko,
Amiboshi, Lupin III, Jigen, Fujiko, Goemon, Zanigata, Makoto Mizuhara,
Nanami, Mr. Fujisawa, Jinnai, the Vegetable Man from Slayers, and a
panda holding a giant beach ball and umbrella.
Soun continued to weep in the corner at being left behind. Life was
so unfair!

Rei twitched slightly from her position on the ground. She was in an
INCREADBLE amount of pain. No, scratch that; it had moved beyond pain
and into some other realm on the other side. Yes, agony was the word.
Rei Hino was in agony.
Setsuna was looking in a mirror she had pulled from... somewhere
...and was fixing up a few strands of hair that had been dislodged
from the 'tussle'.
Rei stood up, seething, apparently none the worse for wear.
"What'd ya do that for?" she asked, glaring.
Setsuna put away the mirror, and smiled at Rei for a moment before
speaking.
"The Princess has been located, Rei. Would you like to know more?" she
asked smugly.
Rei was shocked by the abruptness in the change of conversational
topic. She then sighed... and the little cloud appeared.
Setsuna's eyebrow twitched.
Rei saw this and sweatdropped.
Setsuna, seeing this, facefaulted.
Rei blinked. Her eyebrow twitched.
And finally Setsuna got back to her feet.
"Oh dear. It seems it's contagious."
Both Sailor Scouts sweatdropped.

The beach was calm. One might say even peaceful. Waves were gently
lapping at the shores, a gentle breeze tickling the noses of the few
people around. Seagulls wandered the shore like some self-appointed
guardians, picking up what little trash they found and depositing it
into the murky depths of the ocean, where it would be washed away. It
was a picture perfect day.
It was not to last.
Like a tide of foul pollution, the horde of people washed over the
land, spearheaded by Nabiki and Bunny. Where they passed, innumerable
people followed in their wake to settle down at different spots on the
beach. Those few poor souls, who had thought that today would be free
of such desecration, were forced to find some other place to relax.
There were shouts here and there, peals of laughter, and generally the
sounds of the beach were prominent here.
As time passed, people began to gather here and there in groups,
brought together by like-minded individuals.
Lum and Ranma-chan were sparring in the sand, a large group of
spectators watching them. Both combatants relied heavily on moving
through the air.
Lined up off to the side were Saffron, Herb, Lime, Mint, Ryouga, Taro,
Ranma's typical attackers, as well as Tomahome, Tasuki, Nuriko,
Ryouko, Ayeka, and Yosho.
Nanbara was going on about destroying the Saotome name, Nabiki was
taking bets; Ukyou, Shampoo, Cologne, and Nanami were setting up food
stands. Their main customers were Bunny, Miaka, Mihoshi, and Sara.
Off in one area Kasumi, Belldandy, Sasami, Mitsuki Rara, and Mami
traded recipes and stories.
An argument about proper sword form sprung up between Kuno and Goemon,
while a perky fourteen-year-old named Hikaru interjected the
occasional comment.
Kei Kusanagi found an instant kinship with Hibiki Amawa.
Makoto Mizuhara, Kazuya, and Skuld began discussing various technical
data.
Ataru was smacked, beaten, bruised, and burned a record number of
times in one day.
What were the chances of something happening to this group of people?
A million to one, right?
---
Setsuna mulled over the problem in her head as Rei stewed. Finally,
she said with total conviction, "It must transfer with contact."
"What, may I ask, are you talking about?" Two veins pulsed on Rei's
face as she waited for Sailor Pluto to answer.
Setsuna sighed, and then pointed at the disappearing cloud. "Whatever
is creating these... things."
"And by 'contact' do you mean beating me to a bloody pulp?!"
Setsuna glanced over at Rei, who currently had fire burning behind
her, giving the girl an intimidating look.
"Look, do you want to find the Princess or not?" asked Setsuna as a
sweatdrop involuntarily appeared over her head.
The fire died out. "Fine. Lets go," spoke Rei tersely.
Setsuna rested a hand on Rei's arm, and teleported the two of them
toward Usagi's energy signature, in what was most likely the greatest
mistake she ever made.

End Part Four!
Authors Notes:
Kagato: Heh. Originally, the list was just Ranma characters.. then
Tannim started adding other people, and pretty soon we'd populated the
beach with all sorts of people. Yeah, I know, we left out A LOT of
Anime, both popular and not-so-common, but.. well.. nobody's perfect,
ne? Anyway... I was thinking, would anyone else like to join in on our
little venture? Drop me a line at 'TaitekiKagato@aol.com' and you too
might be able to join in. Ja, for now...
Tannim: If you wish to know the series some of the more strange
people come from, please contact me at tannim_murphy@yahoo.com. ^_^
*looks up at Kagato's notes* Aw, no! Not again! _
