The pigtailed boy shrugged back at her. "Well, ya wanted ta come, so I figured, it ain't like I'd expect anythin' else ta happen."
"Oh? Did you mean that you wanted us coming anyway?"
"Uhh... Somethin'... I wouldn't mind ya taggin' along on a trip anytime."
"Why, thank you!"
"Yes, thank you Saotome," Nabiki drawled as a small smirk curved her lips. "I'm sure that all of us appreciate it."
"Is so! Ranma already so good for Shampoo, and now he take her to tropical island!" the lavender haired girl chirped.
"After you saw that he was being taken away, and discovered that not only was it not a kidnapping, but he was a prince, and you could go with him."
"It not like have much choice. That when discover about trip, and so, only time to pick to go with him."
"Which you couldn't refuse."
"Is only obvious," Shampoo retorted crossly, "And Shampoo good choice for bride anyway. Am Village Champion and Heir to Matriarch, so be like princess. Ranma, prince. What better?"
Soun made a sound of annoyance. "You may say that, but once this trip is done, I'm sure that Ranma will be marrying my daughter. He's more than proven that he is going to be able to provide for my little girl, and the arrangement between our families is strong."

"And miss this chance to be with Ranchan during this time of his life? You've got to be kidding."
"Actually, I didn't think that you'd not go."
"But you let other kids from school let me know."
Nabiki shrugged. "Hey, it's not like I have a hotline with you guys subscribing to get news about Ranma."
"You'll probably get one. And lucky for me, other people saw him leaving before I got left behind."
"So, is that everyone?" Selphie asked as she stepped over to the group from the sea plane they'd been standing beside.
"Hmm... well, they'll be going for certain."
"Then those of you going on this trip, please get on board. Even if anyone else is coming, we'll need you on board if we're to get flying in time."
"Sensible."
"We're trying."
"Well then, let's get this show on the road," Genma declared.
