Ranma Half Moon chapter 91 "There's No Business Like Snow Business" part Seven, the conclusion.

Author's note: This episode happens during the Sailor Moon episode 38 "The Snow! The Mountains! Our Friendship! And of Course, A Monster, Too".

The lodge employees carry Ryoga towards the medivac helicopter. One of the employees approaches Ranma-ko and Haruka. "Do you girls know this guy? We have room on the medivac if you want to come along."

Ranma-ko doesn't answer.

"Come on, there's not much more that we can do around here."

Ranma-ko nods and moves towards the helicopter.

...

Yuichiro wakes up with a start. He sits in front of a warm fire even though he is still on the mountain.

Usagi smiles. "He's come out of it!"

"Miss Rei. You're okay!"

Rei nods. "We were rescued by the Sailor Warriors."

Yuichiro gets a faraway look in his eyes. "The Sailor Warriors? Oh, man! My brain must still be rattled from being run over by that oversized snow ball. I thought I remembered that monster saying that you were Sailor Moon."

Rei giggles. "Fortunately for us, the monster must not have been very bright, right?"

Yuichiro laughs, but then grows somber. "I guess I wasn't a whole lot of help today."

Usagi smiles a sneaky smile. "That's not true. Tell him, Rei!"

"You did help out a little."

Yuichiro laughs nervously. "Now I'm getting embarrassed."

Makoto skis up. "There you guys are. You had us worried." Minako and Ami join Makoto.

"Well, you know what they say, a stitch in time saves nine."

Ami looks at Minako with a worried look on her face. "People do say that, but not in situations like this."

Minako scratches her head. Ami's right, they don't. Why did I say something like that?

Usagi puts her arm around Rei. "Well, at least Rei and I got to become better friends through this."

The hairs on the back of Rei's neck stand up. The reason I supported Usagi entering the dangerous race in the first place was so that Usagi could become more independent. And now she is becoming more co-dependent! "Better friends? I would have won the race if I hadn't had to clean up your messes. Don't try that better friends line with me."

Usagi cries. "Rei's being mean to me!"

Rei looks away from Usagi. Moe, will Usagi grow a backbone and stop crying already?

Makoto nudges Usagi with her ski pole. "Hey, there's food and a fireplace back at Yuichiro's suite. If you stop crying, we can head back."

Usagi sniffles. "Food?"

Yuichiro laughs nervously. "Well, the lodge serves bento boxes late into the night."

A helicopter flies by.

Saeko watches it. "Oh dear, I hope someone wasn't hurt by an avalanche."

...

"I still can't believe you pushed me off the starting line!" Usagi pauses only briefly in between mouthfuls to tease Yuichiro.

Makoto looks up. Wow, Usagi has already finished three bento boxes, and I am only on my second one. "Give him a break, Usagi. Once you commit to something you should go through with it."

"I didn't realize it was so dangerous! And, Rei made everything look so easy."

"Usagi, I hope you learned a valuable lesson, to not do things just because you think you need to look good."

"But, Luna would have been mad if I didn't."

Ami giggles, deftly juggling her book and her food. "Luna wants you to have confidence to do things Usagi, but she wants you to do the things that will help you be a better Sailor Warrior."

"I can't win with you guys."

The clock in the suite strikes one.

"Wow, it's pretty late. I guess we should go to bed."

The girls nod their approval to Yuichiro.

"But, there's a small problem. There's six of us and only five rooms. Two of us will have to share a r-r-room." Yuichiro laughs nervously.

"Rei smiles. No problem, Usagi will sleep with me."

Usagi looks at Rei incredulously.

"Well, I can't have you wondering off and getting in trouble. Just like Minako said, a stitch in time saves nine."

Minako grins. Good thing that Rei is covering for my faux pas.

Ami glances at Makoto and grins knowingly. "As Makoto often says, people who tease each other are the ones who get along well."

"But, Rei's going to be mean to me again."

Ami immediately draws attention away from Usagi's complaints. "Yes, I should go to bed now. If I don't get enough sleep, then I won't retain what I read properly."

"Yes, I wouldn't be able to train properly without rest."

Minako smiles. I see what Ami and Makoto are trying to do. "Yes, a girl needs her beauty sleep."

"Traitors!"

Rei grabs Usagi by the ear and bullies her into the bedroom. Rei waits for Usagi to clean up before using the mirror herself.

The room in the suite has a western style bed so there is plenty of room for both Usagi and Rei.

Rei gets in bed with Usagi. "You're really kind of hopeless, aren't you? You get upset whenever someone teases you."

Usagi doesn't answer.

"You really don't get why we tease you. It's because we want you to become better, so that we can defeat Dark Kingdom. Nobody in the Sailor Warriors dislikes you. We all love you. Even me."

Usagi rolls over and pins Rei's arm down.

Moe! Usagi has been asleep the entire time that I was talking. Rei kisses Usagi on the cheek. "Baka."

Rei relaxes, feeling Usagi's body next to hers. Still, she was a little disturbed by the helicopter. She had picked up a strange feeling from the helicopter, as if someone she knew was on board.

...

The moon shines down on the mountain area where Dark Kingdom had caused all the damage.

The avalanche has displaced large areas of rock and there are narrow fissures in between the rock slabs.

Suddenly an arm thrusts up from in between two of the rock slabs.

...

In Mio's company's suite, Mio wakes up with a start.

The End of No Business Like Snow Business.
