Chapter 3 : This Doesn’t Look Like Tagaytay
(Ranma Xover)
Jeri stretched out as best she could and winced as the pain in her
skin started up again. Giving Erika the best “Heero’s
Death Glare” as she could without stretching her face skin too much, she
hobbled over to where Andrea and Yuuki stood over the
map.
“I can tell you one thing” said Yuuki
after a short while. “This doesn’t look like Tagaytay”
“No duh Sherlock” said Jeri, pointing to the nearby beach. “Tagaytay doesn’t have beaches no da!”
Erika smacked her firmly on the back and said, “You don’t look
like Chichiri so don’t talk like him!”
Jeri stuck her tongue out the older girl. She placed her hands
on her hips and glared at the map as if she could blame their current dilemma
on it.
“Hey!” came a voice from nearby.
All four of them turned to look at the direction of the voice.
It was Meg who stood on the beach waving frantically. ”C’mon
over!”
Jeri smiled brightly and shouted a reply. She threw her jacket
into the van and dropped her T-shirt in favor of an old dark blue tank top. And
with a psychotic laugh jumped down to the sand and proceeded to chase Meg around.
The remaining three travelers sweatdropped. Then they just shrugged and proceeded to do
the same, with a bit less noise though.
A little later on, Erika and Andrea were treading in the water
and Yuuki looking on from her sun bathing. Meg was
swimming a little further off. Jeri sat near the water and proceeded to try
creating a sand statue of Hiei. When she failed
several times she resorted to making a huge sand castle.
When Erika, Andrea and Meg surfaced from the water, they all had
sweatdrops as they could see Jericah’s
“Soon to be built : The Winner Sandcastle”
Yuuki had fallen asleep and the three went to sit beside her. Andrea was even about to fall asleep when all
of a sudden Jericah shook her awake.
“Hunh?” she asked.
“There are cuties on the beach!” said Jericah
with hearts in her eyes.
Andrea and Yuuki sweatdropped
as Meg joined in with Jeri’s ranting. Looking over to the side, they saw a
rather large group that seemed to be arguing hotly about something. Leading the
shouting match was s young man about their age with a small black pigtail. He
was wearing a Chinese style red shirt and screamed right on ahead with a girl.
The girl had short black hair and was wearing a dress. After a few more
shouting sprees, she produced a mallet from somewhere and proceeded to pound
the guy to the sand.
Nearby, a blue haired girl screamed “Ranma-sama!”
and glomped the young man who got hit by the mallet.
She proceeded to continue the shouting match with the other girl.
Sitting nearby was a young man with a bandanna. Behind him were
two girls and two older men, arguing over what looked like a map.
“C’mon” called Jeri, standing from where she was. “Let’s go talk
to them.”
Erika and Yuuki refused to budge but
Meg and Jeri convinced Andrea to join them. Walking over they called out, “Oi! You need help?”
Most of them turned to look at them, except for the two women
who were arguing about something again.
Before any of them could react, there was a shadow that popped
right out of nowhere and attached itself unto Meg.
“Oh Young ladies!” was all it said.
Meg screamed as high as she could and Jeri started to laugh a
bit. She stopped when the black shadow attached itself unto her.
“Oh Shit!” she cursed and wrenched the shadow, which turned out
to be a short old man, away from her and kicked him sky high.
“What the fuck was that?” screamed the affronted Jericah.
“Sorry about that!” called the short haired girl. “That was Happosai, he’s a dirty old man.”
“I could see that!” said Meg.
“Well, I’m Akane Tendo”
she said bowing politely. “Those two there are my sisters and that’s my father
with them, the one with the long hair”
“That one beside him is Ranma’s
father, the one with the bandanna is Ryouga. And that
blue blob there is Shampoo” she concluded
“You forgot me.” Said a longhaired young man from behind Akane’s back. He had round spectacles that obscured his eyes.
“Oh yeas, I’m sorry. This is Mousse” said Akane
with a smile.
“Hi!” said Jeri. “I’m Jericah, this is
Meg and this is Andrea” both of them smiled with the mention of their names.
She pointed over to the nearby sunbathing travelers and said, “Those two are Yuuki and Erika. We’re travelers and we got lost and ended
up here.”
“Who was guiding you? Ryouga no baka?” interjected the young man in the red shirt.
“Oro?” said Jeri, “Who are you?”
“Oh that’s Ranma.” Said Akane with a rather irritated glare. “You can ignore him,
he doesn’t amount to anything.”
“Oh well at least you stupid tomboy, *I* didn’t get us lost”
shouted Ranma at the top of his voice. “That was
little lost boy over there who did that!” he pointed over to the boy with the
bandanna.
The aforementioned ‘little lost boy’ glared at him and said, “It
is NOT my fault that the map is given to me!”
The three girls sweatdrop as this
erupted into another full-scale shouting match. They were soon forgotten and
they made their way back to their little patch of sand.
They found that Yuuki was waving
frantically at them. Beside her, Erika was tracing something on the map and
smiling widely.
“Oi!” Yuuki
shouted. “C’mon! We’ve figured out how to get back on the way to Tagaytay!”
The three girls broke into a run towards their friends.
