Shampoo giggled as she peered out of a palm treetop. This was the perfect spot... all of the contestants would pass here to go to the spot where the contest was being held.
She looked into the bucket that was hanging from a branch next to her. She had to pinch her nose because of the horrible stench, but she grinned. "When I pour this over violent girl's head, she will stink worse than butt of wild boar... And when she is ready with cleaning off sticky stuff, contest will be over and Shampoo has won..." She giggled. "No fair, but very funny!"
She carefully watched the passing girls. She was tempted to pour something over the other girls' heads, but she didn't want to give away her hiding place before Akane arrived.
She grew impatient. What was taking violent girl so long?
"Jacques! Jacques!"
Huh? What was that?
Shampoo peered down and saw a pink blur zoom past her tree.
"Stand still and give me back... OOOF!" SLAM!
The blonde person that was following Azusa slammed right into the tree, so that Shampoo had to grab on tightly on her branch to not fall down.
As for her bucket... "Aaaaaah, nononono, you no fall down!"
But the force of the impact made the bucket slide further down the branch... and further... and...
SPLOOOSH!
"GAK!" Haruka screamed. "What is that stuff? Ewwww, that smells... oh... whew... horrible... And it's so sticky..." She grew even more furious. "WHO DID THAT? I'LL MAKE HIM PAY FOR IT!"
Sweating nervously, Shampoo decided for a tactical retreat...

"All right," the organizer of the diving contest said to the young men who were aligned at the catwalk that was leading out in the open sea. "We hid a big pearl somewhere under water so that it can't be removed by the current, sea animals or something else. And no, the pearl is not real... There are also several clues hidden around there. If you find them, finding the pearl will become easier. Whoever finds the pearl and brings it back to the surface is the winner. You all have to dive without any diving equipment, such as air tanks... And play fair, you got it?"
The men all nodded. Ryoga looked at Ranma with gleaming eyes. This time, he will make sure Ranma loses...
"All set? Ready... go!!"
And after taking deep breaths, the males all dove into the cool ocean water, starting their search for the pearl...
----
Somewhere, deep in the ocean...
A dark shape silently floated over something shiny that was hidden between several rocks. It swum a small distance before turning around and swimming back.
Two pairs of blinking eyes looked out of a small chasm in the ocean floor.
"You think we have a chance of sneaking past him?" a gurgling voice asked.
"Don't be stupid," another gurgling voice replied. "He'll rip us apart if he gets us. We have to wait for the rightful owner of the amulet, as we've been told... And I have the feeling this will be soon!"
"You say that every month," the first voice grumbled. "I think it's time to do something..."
"Well, I'm not leaving here," the second voice firmly said. "And you know neither of us can go far without the other one."
"Dammit, you're right," the other one snarled. "I hate it when you're right..."
