"Boy, this is it! Finally, they're opening the more populour and high income sports to all us martial artists! This is our chance to finally make it into the big time! Why, I hear there's even going to be a separate category for us in the upcoming Olympics!"
"Big deal... why would I want to take part in some dumb sports anyhow? I play a little football in school, but I don't really care for entering a tournament or nothin'."
"You fail to understand, foolish boy! This is not just for the money, all the wonderufl things that money would bring, like cars, a large house, a sauna... uh-hum! Anyhow, the point is, they're modifying the rules a little... quite a few of these sports will be Martial Arts Sports... I trust you remember your experience in the Martial Arts Figure Skating?"
"THAT mess??? Well done pop, you've decided me"
"So, you'll do it?"
"NO FREAKING WAY!!! That was one of the worst experiences of my life!" *shudder*
"But... but, boy! Don't you want to get married to Akane? That occasion gave so many chances for you two to show your love for each other, remember?"
"OYAJI!!! DIE!!! ... Besides, why don't YOU go then?"
"But, my boy... I AM! Look, here's our team for the football section."
Ranma glanced at the list of names. Let's see... they'd already put down his name, so it would be... Soun, himself, his dad, Ryouga, Mousse... HAPPOSAI?
"We told him that there might be streakers. Besides, there'll be cute cheerleaders, doing those high kicks."
... Kuno... darnit... Tsubasa, Konatsu... "Hey, only guys on our team?"
"Well, yes. For this event anyhow. The girls are all on a separate team, they broke the event up into the men and women's divisions."
Ranma boggled. A martial arts competition, spanning a decent period of time, WITHOUT any of his fiancees bothering him,needing him to rescue them, or trying to kill him...
"You can count on me!"

In Satan City, there were some... problems.
"No, Vegita, you can't hold the ball in your hands, it's football!"
"HAAA!!!!"
"... and you can't ki blast it either..."
"Hey, no flying allowed for the high jump!"
"Actually, I just received this note saying that there isn't going to BE a high jump, a lot of other games are off the list too, AND our team has been barred from a lot of events, cause we're just too powerful."
"Damn. Guess we're going to have to wait for the Tenshin Bodokai for our matches, huh?"
"Surprisingly, no. They're actually letting us into those, on the condition that we don't kill anyone."
"Heh, that's fine! I'll make sure not to do more than maim them!" snickered Vegita.
"VEGITA!" yelled everyone.
"Not as big a concern as you guys might think. They're going to have a top notch medical team on-site, Dende is apparently one of the medium level healers they're going to have."
Kuririn sighed in relief, then suddenly blanched as he noticed Vegita's smile grow into an evil grin... if Vegita didn't need to hold back as much... ... ... well, if he went up against him, it was going to be the fastest forfeit in history.
