All flights cancelled.but one!

AN: At the suggestion of my brother and a friend of his, I am replacing the original character that Yue Hongo (from Fushigi Yuugi) plays and replacing her with Naru Narusawaga(from Love Hina (did I get her name right)). Hope you enjoy.

Everyone rushed out of the hotel and into there own vehicles and headed to the airport. Vash got stuck in a taxicab.

He was having a friendly with the driver Otto, who was listening to a drag race on the radio. "Come on, Come on", he said. The radio announced that there was a major crash on the race. "ALLL RIGHT", he yelled. Turning to Vash he said, "You like drag racing." "Oh no way, I don't like the sight of blood." "Speaking of which, do you ever heard of that $60,000,000,000,000 guy! Man, I wish I can get him, I had an apartment in that area and I lost it. Now I have to work in this Taxi company and the school bus route to buy a new one!" Realizing the situation, Vash hid his face behind the seat.

*******************

Piro and Largo were bent over a map, looking it over, "Are we lost", asked Piro. "No", said Largo, "I can't find the airport." As he said that, a plane whizzed by in the background.

*********************************

"You know Skuld", said Belldandy, "We might not get an airplane." "Don't worry, I have made a plane myself, and a fast one at that. It's just waiting for us at the runway!"

***************************************

All of the cars arrived at the airport, as well as Vash's cab. "Thanks", he said and paid Otto. "Thanks dude", said Otto.

As soon as Vash left a girl that was observing by the name of Meryl Strife, came up to Otto and said, "Did you know who that guy was", asked Meryl. "No", replied Otto. "That was the Humanoid Typhoon! The $60,000,000,000,000 man!" "Oh man! You're right! That was him", said a shocked Otto, "Dude! I had him in the cab and I let him go!"

*****************************************

Ranma laughed as he saw the racers head for the ticket offices. "Losers", he laughed. Noticing that he still had the key in his hand, he tossed it away, which landed in a nearby fountain. "I am not afraid, I am not going after it." At that moment, I, The Time Traveler, yelled from the fountain, "You'll be back!"

Ranma then noticed a young girl was sitting nearby. She had long brown hair, and blue eyes. She was reading a book. Ranma strolled on up to her. "Hello", he said. The girl looked up, "Hello."

"You know it's a coincidence, because you and I are reading the same book", said Ranma holding up a copy. "Yes, I see", replied the girl. "What part are you at", asked Ranma. "Well this pilot just had a sex change." "WHAT", said Ranma, as he flipped through." "Gotcha", said the girl. "Very funny", said Ranma. "You're an interesting person Mr." "I'm Ranma Saotome", said Ranma. "Naru Narusawaga", said the girl. "Say you want to have a drink with me", he asked. "Sorry I am flying, I'm a pilot." "Didn't know that there were any female pilots out there." "Oh yeah, well how many do you know", remarked Naru. After thinking a bit Ranma replied, "I don't have one now, but soon I'll come up with a smart remark to that!" "Good luck", said Naru, then with an added sigh she said, "Idiot."

***********************************

Near the ticket office, Vash quickly asked, "One way to New Mexico!" The ticket was handed to him and he quickly ran off.

Behind him Homer and the rest of the Simpsons ran up to the ticket holder. "Four seats for a one way to New Mexico." The woman started typing. "Hurry up, we got to get there", yelled Bart.

************************************

Outside the airport in an old bi-plane Belldandy said, "This is interesting, you flew this?" "Yep", replied Skuld, "all we have to do is wait for the all clear and we take off."

**************************************

Piro and Largo quickly ran through the line and up front. "Hey I was next", said someone. "No you weren't", replied Largo. "Please forgive my friend, but for once he is right!"

Soon a whole argument broke out until Largo punched one the people's lights out. "Who's next", asked the receptionist. The crowd quickly pointed to Piro and Largo. "One way ticket to New Mexico please", asked Largo. The receptionist looked at the screen. "Oh sorry we're all booked. There is a 4:00 but you'll have to switch in Pittsburgh."

"Well", said Piro, "That's it." "1\l0 \/\/@j", said Largo. "We are not backing down. "If we are not leaving, no one else is!"

A few minutes later, Piro was behind the wheel of a truck, while Largo was taking a rope with a hook, through a mesh wire fence, to the radar tower. "How does he talk me into these", he asked.

Suddenly, Seraphim, his conscience, appeared on his shoulder. "What are you doing Piro? Don't you know this will stop all the flights." "Yes", said Piro, "But listen." He quickly explained everything to Seraphim. "Well why didn't you tell me that! This is a golden opportunity! Get to it", said Seraphim.

Meanwhile Largo was almost to the top when Boo, his conscience, appeared on his shoulder (Boo is a hamster with attach on wings). "Squeek Squeek", said Boo. "Yeah Boo, were sure gonna get the L33T $2,000,000." Realizing why he was doing this, Boo willingly gave in, just like Seraphim.

Largo hooked the hook onto the radar. "It's done", said Largo. Suddenly the dish started beeping and the tip glowed. "Is that good", asked Piro. "No, so I would get out of the car if I were you", said Seraphim and vanished.

The dish started turning, and rotating, therefore it was curling up the rope. "Piro", yelled Largo in excitement.

The rope started pulling the car through the fence. "Oh dear", said Piro.

The car soon started going up the tower, where Largo was still hanging. "Piro! Stop the car", he said, not realizing the idiocy of what he said. He soon landed on the car's hood. Soon one of the car's wheels got caught in the tower's structure. The car opposed the rotation therefore causing the radar dish to be pulled down. It broke and fell lopsided on the tower. Piro and Largo were still screaming to get down.

***********************************

"The radar is gone", said a radar observer. "We'll have to cancel the flights", said another, "Check the problem." Someone with binoculars looked out there and saw a blue truck with two kids hanging on it.

***********************************

Due to radar problems, all flights are postponed until further notice. Thank You", said the P.A, "We apologize for any inconvenience."

"Darn", muttered Ranma.

Meanwhile everyone hurried back to the vehicles. Belldandy and Skuld quickly bought a new one. Piro and Largo bought a new one. The Simpsons had their own car. Vash quickly headed into a cab. "East please", he said. The driver turned to reveal that it was Otto. "Well, Hello again pardner", he said slyly, "East it is!"

Getting back to Ranma he went to the area were Naru was sitting and reading. "All right I got one. I know another female pilot. It is that pilot in that book because he had a sex change!" "Very late", said Naru. "Wanna chat", said Ranma. "No I am flying", said Naru. "But all the flights are cancelled. "Not mine because I am flying a helicopter, we run on a different system." "Really", said Ranma, "Where are you flying?" "Roswell, New Mexico, because we been repainting the fleet."

Ranma's eyes brightened, "Your flying to New Mexico! No one else is flying!" "Yea", said Naru, "Why, you need a lift?"

Realizing the situation Ranma ran to the fountain. He saw where the key was still there. "I am not going to regret this. Two million dollars! Two million dollars!" With that he jumped in the fountain and grabbed the key. However because the water was cold he was now in his girl form. "How I hate this", she said.

The Time Traveler came near her and said, "I told you, you would be back!" "Aw buzz off Time Travler. With that I left.

Naru stared at her and said, "I think you can explain this to me on the way." "Yes I think I can", replied Ranma.

**********************************

Back at the hotel Croquet took a chocolate from a box and ate it. "Coconut", he said. "All right, who had coconut", asked Pegasus. "OH I DID", yelled Teasel Bonne (from Mega Man Legends). "Congrats", said Pegasus as he handed him the money.
