The Liz: Oy vae, posting a chapter here is hard for me. Don't know why
though.
To Shadow Knight2: I swear, when I read your review, I busted out laughing because I had just finished writing about Kuno and his broken bokken. And I'm definetly gonna have to do Nabiki.
To Magnus17: Thanks, I try to keep things different in my stories. It's good to know that my job is being done
To PurpleMoon3: Thanks for the idea about Happy. I'm not exactly sure how he would react, but believe me I'm trying to come up with a reaction.
To Yukimi: Thanks for the review, drop me a line when you come up with a Ranma fic. I'd love to read it!
To Kuno-Baby: Mmm... I like the idea of the fake money. Maybe....
Anywho's, back to the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma ½ but I do own a dust bunny farm under my bed that is run by my faithful minions.
Setting: A busy market street, filled with people running, walking, playing and being generally happy. The sun is shinning although a few dark clouds hang over the horizon, threatening to bring an end to the happiness of the blinding sun. On the side of the street stands a tall, black vending machine, it's contents kept cool by a hidden refrigerator.
Trotting down the street is a very large panda, not exactly commonplace in our world but the people around him seem not to take great notice. The panda seems to be in a good mood, which is always good when it comes to huge bears with sharp, pointy teeth, which at the moment have a piece of rice stuck in them.
The panda sighs a very panda-type sigh and lets his tongue hang out of his mouth in thirst, because when you have a thick coat of fur and the sun is beating down on your head, this causes you to be thirsty.
Out of the corner of his eye he spots a vending machine full of veri, veri, sugary drinks. Knowing that sugary drinks make you even more thirsty but not caring because they are sugary drinks, he skips on over to the machine and peers inside. He reaches to his side where a pocket would have been had he been wearing clothes and soon that there is not pocket, therefore no wallet.
Whipping out a large wooden sign and a black marker from god knows where, he scribbles a message with speed only a very good martial artist might have. He holds up the sign for all to read even though nobody really cares, but if someone had cared they would have read the words "Argh! Panda's don't carry wallets!" Crying tears of bitterness, he hangs his head in sorrow when suddenly, he spots a button roughly the size of a 50-yen piece. He grins manically and picks up the button, inserting it into the coin slot.
It only takes a few seconds before the button reappears in the return coin slot with a clink. The panda looks down and takes the button, reinserting it in the coin slot, then pressing a bright orange button.
The machine begins to whir as if it is preparing to give the panda his drink. The panda grins at the prospect of ice cold sugary liquid sliding down his throat.
With a louder clink, the button reappears in the return coin slot. The panda looks down at it, his eye twitching. He reaches in and takes out the button, glaring at the machine.
Once again, he inserts the button into the slot, sending the vending machine evil vibes if it doesn't give him his drink. The machine whirs loudly this time and begins to shake violently. The panda's eyes widen as the lights in the machine get brighter and brighter.
PAP, PAP, PAP, PAP, PAP, PAP! The machine begins to shot out 5-yen pieces from its return coin slot at the panda's head at an alarming rate. Finally, after a few more seconds, the machine stops, leaving in front of it a very dazed panda.
PAP! The vending machine spits out the button at the pandas head, the tiny force of the flying object sending the panda crashing to the ground. The words on the tiny screen above the coin slot read: Stop being so cheap!
AN: So, what did ya think? Thanks to Kuno-Baby for the idea. I originally had Genma trying to give Ranma his lunch when he came across the machine but I didn't like it, so I did this instead. Please Review!
Next Chapter: Happy!
