"Okay we run two blocks, top speed and what do we get? Five new stores." Nabiki groaned.
"I think we may have to bite the bullet and just pick one. For all we know there could be an infinite variety of these stores and I don't wanna spend my birthday running from magical stores."
"All righty then!" Nabiki said briskly crossing to the first store. "First we have Swords, Slings and Other Things, billing itself as 'the finest weapons domain in the multiverse.' Um... Multiverse?"
"Yeah the futuristic battle armor next to the medieval mace kinda clued me in. But maybe they have some kind of automated defense system for noncombatants."
Nabiki nodded at that thought and moved on to the next store. "Next up is Bornes & Nables, some kind of bookstore. Looks normal enough."
"Yeah until you get sucked into one of the Manga. Might be worth stopping back for though." Ranma moved further down to stop in front of another large window that reeks of mysticism. "Eh? Hidden Wishes, for bringing out the shining talents hidden in you. That'd be... kinda nice."
"What's that Saotome?"
"All my life I've used these hands to destroy. Sure I made a few meals, but it doesn't quite balance out. It'd be nice if there was a gift for creation in these hands as well."
"Well I'll be... a sensitive side."
"You got one too, under all the money bags." Ranma said with a smile.
"I'm not Scrooge McDuck!" Nabiki said angrily. "Though I could be. Janus' Costume Emporium. So realistic you'll forget it's a costume." She read peering through the window. "Just think Ranma, you could be my sultan and I can be your harem slave." Ranma's pigtail toinged out from the back of his head as he made warning gestures remembering how harem girls and thinking of what Akane would do to him if he was anywhere near a woman in that outfit. "That's payback for the moneybags quip."
"Well they're right about paybacks." Ranma said trying futilely to smooth his agitated hair. "Anyway, here's the last one, Enchanted Doors Travel Agency, where happiness and adventure lie just beyond the door. So Nabs, where to?"
