DISCLAIMER:

I don't own anything but the story. It is my first story and this all I've written so far, so I hope you'll all enjoy it. If I get any reviews I might continue. PLEASE!! Review me!! Thank you and now back to the show!!



After a while of walking Otaru found small-funny-looking-yellow-brick-road crossing through the greatgreengrass fields. As agreed by all of our heroes .

Ash- Hey!! I don't agree! I think it will take us to some other place

As agreed by almost all of our heroes, they followed the road with the hope that it would help them fulfill their quest.

Umi- Its getting dark! Let's find a place to rest.

Cloud- If we continue walking we'll get there faster than if we stop to sleep.

Ranma- (looking at the others) I think we should rest.

Cloud- Why do you say that? Are you tired?

Ranma- No, but the rest are. Just look at them.

Otaru- Fine! Let's find a place to rest and put a fire.

Sakura- How about next to that rock? (signalling a rock not very far from there)

Ranma- I think it will do just fine. (walking towards the rock)

Dai- Tai, Ash, could you guys get some wood for the fire?

Minako- And from where are we going to get fire?

Dai- I'll take care of that! (with a little fire in his hand created with his magic)

Pan- WOW! That's really cool!

Umi- Oh! Dai! You can use magic!!

Sakura- I can use magic too!! Just not in the same way.

Mink- I can breath out fire!! (very proud)

Minako- That's right! You are a dragon, right?

Mink- NO!

Tai- But didn't you say .??

Mink- I'm a dragon-half!!!

Pan- Dragon Half??

Otaru- How come?

Mink- My mother is a dragon, but my dad isn't.

Sakura- So your dad is a human??

Ranma- A human marrying a dragon? (imagine a big evil dragon with a white dress and a man next to it)

Otaru- How come?

Mink- My mother can change into a human figure.

Minako- That explains it all!!

Cloud- So now that we know why you are a dragon half would you mind letting the other go to get the wood?

Tai- Oh! Yeah! Lets go Ash. (walking to look for wood)

Ash- Hey!! Wait up! (running to catch up with Tai)

Minako- (holding Cloud's arm) So what can I do to help you, Cloud!??

Cloud- (moving away from Minako) No .nothing!! Just sit down to rest!!

Ranma- (to Cloud) I think Minako has a thing for you, Cloud.

Cloud- WHAT!!??

Otaru- I saw a river near here. I'm going to try to get some fish so we can eat.

Minako- (holding Otaru's arm) Do you want me to help you??

Otaru- (pushing Minako away) I think I can do it alone!!

Ranma- (to Cloud) I was wrong, she has a thing for all guys.

Umi- No, not all. Just the cute guys. (very close close to both Ranma and Cloud)

Cloud & Ranma- Huh?? (looking kind of puzzled)

Umi- Not that I. really know .y'know? ( moving away and sitting next to the big rock)

Mink- Hey, Otaru! I'll go with you to get some food.

Otaru- Okay! Lets go!! (walking towards the nearest river)

Minako- HEY!!! (kind of sad, but like a little kid) What about me!??

Pan- Give up! I bet he's already got a girlfriend. (patting Minako's back)

Minako- No, never!! I'm a sailor senshi who protects love, peace and beauty!!

Dai- And beauty??

Minako- As the guardian of Venus, I, Aino Minako, will never give up!!

Sakura- Wow!

Minako- No guy can escape from my love chains!! (a great fire surrounds her as she imagines Otaru on the floor in her "Venus love me chain" while she holds the chain) OHOHOHOHOHOHO (laughing)

Ranma- I think she's gone crazy!

Umi- Poor girl. Can't even get herself a boyfriend.

Minako- What did you just say!!?? (standing in front of Umi)

Umi- That you are so pathetic you can't even get a boyfriend. You try to force men into liking you, and that way you'll never get a boyfriend cause you'll just scare any guy that could have liked you, away.

Minako- I can't believe you can say something like that!!!

Umi- Why?

Minako- You are even more pathetic because you can't get a boyfriend and so you just pretend to be so cool just to hide how pathetic you are.

Umi- WHAT!!? (standing in front of Minako)

Minako- You can't get a boyfriend!!!

Umi- You want to bet!!??

Minako- You think I'm scared!?

Umi- Lets make a bet.

Minako- The one who gets a boyfriend first wins!!

Umi- The one who looses will have to do what ever the other one says for three days!

Minako- Deal!!

Umi- DEAL!!

Ranma- I don't like the sound of that.

Cloud- And you think I do?

Dai- I'm glad I'm still a kid.

Pan- Old ladies! Can't even behave themselves like adults and act like 5 year olds!! Their so pathetic.

Minako & Umi- What did you say!!?? (start to pursue Pan)

Pan- Uh oh! (runs away from them while laughing)

Sakura- Hey! Tai and Ash are back!!

Ash- How come you said his name first?

Sakura- Huh?

Tai- Knock it off already, Ash!!

Dai- Could you put the wood right here?? (pointing to the middle of a circle of stones that he made)

Ash- Huh?

Dai- Something wrong?

Ash- Aren't we missing somebody? (looking around)

Sakura- Otaru and Mink went to get something to eat.

Tai- Why are those three fighting?? (looking at Minako and Umi punishing Pan while putting down the wood)

Sakura- Just ignore them!! (laughs nervously)

Dai puts the wood together and with his magic starts a fire in the fireplace. They all gather around it waiting for the other two to come. As Otaru and Mink return from the river with a bunch of fishes the rest of the group waits in silent.

Otaru- Uff!! We got a big bunch!! (approaching the group)

Mink- But I think they won't be enough for our very hungry friends!! (laughs as she put the big bunch of fishes that she carried near the fire)

Ranma- Oh! Man!! I'm so glad to see you back with so much food. (stands up near the fishes)

Tai- Now we just need to cook them!! (from his sit)

Dai- Sakura, could you give me that bunch of sticks? (pointing to some neatly place sticks near her sitting place)

Sakura- Yeah, sure!! (standing up and giving them to Dai)

Ash- What are those for??

Dai- For cooking the fish.

Tai- Here, let me help you with that! (while putting a fish in a stick)

Pan- Hey! I want to help too!! (while grabbing some fish and some sticks)

Ranma- Now we just put them in the fire and very soon we will be eating our fish.

Sakura- This is fun! (while putting more fishes in sticks and giving them to Ranma)

Pan- (trying to pout a stick in the fire) WOW!! Do they really have to be inside the fire?

Cloud- Give me that! (taking the stick) I'll put! You might get burned, I'll give it to you when its done.

Pan- Thanks!

Minako- How long will they take to cook!!?? (to Otaru while holding his arm)

Otaru- We .well, . about . about . (blushing and very nervous) a.few minutes.!!

Umi- (pushing Minako away from Otaru) I don't seem to be able to put this right, could you help me??

Otaru- Sure!! (still kind of nervous) Here take it! (giving her the stick with the fish)

Umi- (close to Otaru) Oh! But I'll burn my hand if I put the fish in, could you do it for me???

Otaru- S . sure!! (blushing, puts the stick in the fire) Need anything else!?

Umi- Not really! But, could you just give me the fish when its ready?

Minako- (angry pulling up Umi from her shirt) HEY!! You pushed me away from him!!!

Umi- (playing innocent) OH!! But I thought you had already finished bothering him!!

Minako- WHY!!!.YOU. ..!!!! (about to strangle Umi)

Otaru- Hey! Girls!! Knock it off!! What's wrong with you two!? (separating them)

Minako- I'll make you pay later for this!!!!! (angry)

Umi- You'll see I will defeat you!! (angry too)

Otaru- Huh??

Ranma- It's a long story . (with his hand on Otaru's shoulder).

Umi- Thank you very much for everything Otaru (blinking an eye at him)

Otaru- Huh!? . (blushing) .Yeah, sure!. Whenever you want.

Minako- WHY!!!.YOU. ..!!!! (just looking at Umi)

Tai- I think its ready (taking out a fish)

Ranma- Yep! Some are ready! So lets start eating!!

Cloud- (giving a fish to Pan) Here. (kind of harsh) now eat it.

Pan- Thanks! (eating the fish)

Sakura- Finally we'll eat!! (taking the fish Ranma gave her)

Ash- (already eating his fish) Wed ade we goind do go tomodowd??

Mink- What? (taking out a fish from the fire)

Tai- Swallow, then talk!! (kind of angry) (_)

Sakura- I think he said "Were are we going to go tomorrow?"

Otaru- Oh!

Pan- You understood what he said?

Sakura- Yeah!

Dai- How?

Sakura- Because sometimes my brother talk to me while he is eating.

Ash- (after finishing his bite) So? Were are we going to go tomorrow?

Cloud- We should continue to follow the small-funny-looking-yellow-brick- road.

Ranma- I just hope it doesn't take us to a place with more insane people.(mumbling)

Umi- (next to Otaru leaning on his shoulder) Oh! I hope so too! I don't' like been in fights.

Pan- But you didn't do anything last time!!

Umi- That's what I don't like! I can only stand there without been able to help. It makes me feel so bad. (pretending to be sad holding Otaru's arm softly)

Otaru- (blushing) Oh, please! Don't take it so hard. Its not you're fault. (putting his hand on her head)

Pan- Yeah! It's not your fault your so weak and unless.

Umi- (letting go of Otaru, standing up and holding Pan) Just WHAT did you say!!?

Minako- But unlike you, Umi. I can fight.

Ranma- Then why don't you.(¬_¬)

Minako- (holding Ranma's arm) Because you are so strong that you don't need my help!

Ranma- He...hey!! Let go of me! (pulling his arm away from Minako)

Umi- (laughing) So pathetic.

Cloud- Okay! Now that we've all finished eating lets rest and tomorrow morning we'll continue our journey.

Dai- Shouldn't we keep guard during the night?

Ranma- Okay then. We'll do it like last time.

Mink- Huh?? How was it last time?

Dai- (clears his throat) Cloud and Sakura will go first, then Ranma and Umi, then Otaru and Minako, then me and Pan, then Tai and Mink, and finally Ash.

Ash- Why do I have to do it alone??

Pan- Because there are only 11 people here.

Dai- Don't worry next time I'll trade with you.

Cloud- Next time we'll change it completely.

Sakura- Okay, then! Good night guys!

Finally our friends went to sleep hoping that tomorrow they could continue their journey with no more troubles and with their stomachs full.
