Okay, before I mess up again...
Everyone belongs to their respective owners. Okay? Fine.
If you own any of the used characters, well, though, I'm
messing them up.
I'll try to return them as close to their original state
as possible.
No money gained here, I don't think anyone would pay for
this anyway.
Anyway, Time and Space don't count in this fic, so don't
bother telling me about the impossibilities of it.
Ok?
"Theatric Battleground"
(Or something like that. I'm not that good with titles.)
Nabiki Tendo looked at her computer stats representing her
income this last week.
"Two yens!" Nabiki almost fell over, grabbing all the receipts
she had, she started counting again, patiently typing the
ups and downs of her money-making projects. It all amounted
down to two yens.
This had all started with Ranma's latest opponent. Whoever that
gaijin kid with the 'S' and blue eyes was, he had whooped Ranma's
butt around two times before each time Ranma got wet and changed
into a girl.
Then, the 'S'-kid had flown past thinking Ranma had escaped,
somehow, and thus avoided a humiliating defeat twice.
Nabiki had passed the kid information that Ranma would be at
Furinkan the next morning.
Nabiki had arrived very early that morning and gathered her
toadies to handle the bets on Ranma's latest fight.
She had bet everything on Ranma loosing, since even the Eternally
Lost Boy's hits had done nothing to the gaijin.
At the appointed time, Ranma and 'S' stood infront of each other
in the high school's football field.
All had started well, 'S' had started whooping Ranma again, when
Shampoo had appeared.
She was wearing a pair of 'new' earrings -probably from her
grandmother's chest of goodies- and wanted to show Ranma how good
she looked with them.
The earrings had started glowing green as soon as she approached the
battlefield, and the gaijin had faltered.
Ranma had grabbed the chance and ki-blasted him out of orbit.
Literally.
The last thing the 'S' had managed to say before being kicked out was
something like "Krypto..."
Oh, well.
She had lost a lot in that one, but she'd figured she could get money
out of Kuno selling him pictures of Akane and his 'pigtailed goddess'.
However, the unthinkable had happened. Ranma had refused to let her
take pictures.
That alone was a problem, since it would cut her income by half.
Later she had tried to sell old pictures of Ranma-chan, but Tatewaki
had a unique ability to remember the pictures he already had.
Add to all that the repairs for Ranma's latest battles with the
wrecking crew...
She had left only two yens. There's absolutely nothing useful you
could possibly get with two yens.
Thinking it over Nabiki decided that it was all Ranma's fault. But...
how to get even?
She looked down at the newspaper. Slowly a smile crept into her face.
It would take some money, but... nah, she'd get it out of Kuno for
one of those videos of 'Ranko' as she...

Tenchi Muyo opened the anonymous letter he had received and pulled out
some theater tickets and a note.
Quickly reading it he smiled and went to find the girls. There were
enough tickets for everyone, even Washuu.
Nuku-nuku opened the letter and stared, uncomprehendingly, at the tickets
and the note.
Priss read the note and looked at the tickets again, thinking.
"The hell, why not?" Picking up the phone she called her friends.
Mamoru showed the eleven tickets to everyone in the Hikawa shrine.
Similar scenes were repeated in many places.
----
"Okay, guys, here are th' tickets!" Nabiki called. Everyone fell silent.
"First; Mousse and Shampoo, here are yours."
Mousse got the tickets as Shampoo whispered harshly. "Why did mercenary
girl pair Shampoo with stupid Mousse?"
Nabiki blinked at Shampoo. "Don't worry, this way Ranma won't suspect
anything. Just play along." she whispered back.
"Nodoka and Genma Saotome."
"Cologne and Happosai."
"Ukyo and Konatsu."
"Ranma and Akane."
"Ryouga and Akari."
"Tatewaki and I."
"Kasumi and Tofu... and Betty."
---
The theater was so packed with people that Ranma didn't even have the time
to look at the title of the play.
He was ushered inside along with the others by Nabiki.
---
"Is this the place, Umi-chan?"
"Yes Hikaru, you ready Fuu-chan?"
"I've always wanted to see this play..."
"Well, let's go!"
---
"Ash, how did we get here?"
"I don't know Misty, but I have Tickets!"
"That's great, Ash!" Brock muttered, looking at a group of nine girls with
just two guys who had entered the theater. "Let's go!"
---
"Um... Lina, this doesn't look like the places we are used to..."
"Shaddup Gourry, and come on. Coming Zelgadis?"
"Yeah, yeah..."
---
Eventually the theater was full, and the play was just moments before starting.
"Oh, my... what a strange setting." Kasumi commented.
"Yeah, it looks like a giant, filthy, trash bathed alley..." Ryouga added.
"Um, excuse me, I've got to go to the bathroom." Nabiki excused herself.
---
Urd looked around, so many people... she saw Nabiki getting out of the theater.
A huge sweat-drop appeared behind her head, as she looked around with her magical
eyes.
Uh-oh. Nabiki had... she had even... oh, great. "Uh... excuse me. Gotta go to the
bathroom..."
"But, it's about to begin..."
"Yeah, I know Skuld, just sit tight will you?"
Urd walked the first few steps then ran out as the lights dimmed.
---
Nabiki washed her hands as Urd burst into the room.
"You!"
"Hi, Urd."
"I can't believe you organized this!"
"I did, now lets get somewhere more comfortable and take out a magic ball to see
what's happening. Also, I need your help for something with the sprinklers."
---
The first two notes of music were playful. As were the few next, suddenly someone
jumped into the setting.
Ranma gulped as silent figures started walking between the audience.
"Are you blind, when you're born?" Sang the first figure, it's yellow eyes glowing
at the audience.
Ranma tried to step back.
"Can you see in the dark?" A female voice sang from somewhere behind him.
---
Nabiki grabbed a phone. "Tarou? I know where 'Happy' is..."
She glanced at Urd, who gave her a thumbs up.
---
"Because... Jellicles CAN and Jellicles DO!"
The Nerima crew looked alternately from the actors to Ranma.
"Oh, my. Those actors look like cats. Weren't you afraid of cats, Ranma-kun?"
Happosai looked around restlessly at all the beautiful girls around.
---
Nabiki smirked. "Three... two... one."
---
Tarou, in his monster form, crashed through the scenery as Happosai tried to
glomp Naga, Ranma finished his conversion into neko-Ranma, and Nuku jumped
into the setting to play with the other cats.
"Demon!"
"Youma!"
"Mazoku!"
"Bug!"
"Pervert!"
"Boomer!"
---
"Now!" Nabiki ordered.
Urd finished her spell to alternate the temperature of water from hot
to cold randomly.
---
Chaos ensued.
Nabiki smiled.
---------------------
Must write some more!!
Sorry. Can't.
This has dried out. While I would like to know what happens next, I just
can't imagine it.
Anyway, I HAD to get this out of my head, for two reasons:
1st: It was driving me crazy.
2nd: To prove that I'm still alive an' kicking.
3rd: I think, therefore I am, according to Descartes.
4rth: That I should learn to count.
Later!
