Speed was also an enemy of accuracy, and that wouldn't do either. So it was a matter of being fast enough to get away, not too fast that you grabbed a sumo wrestler's breechcloth when you were aiming for his wife's black silky treasure. That had happened many years ago and he had absolutely no desire to go through THAT again.
There, a nice set all in pale blue, drying on the line next to a tent.
ZIP! ZOOM! ZING!
Ah, and look over there at that! How could he resist?
Ami got up from her position, shaking her head at the antics of her team. A 'brother complex'? No way! She absolutely did NOT think of Ranma that way. Even if she DID have doubts about them being related with what she'd researched. No, there was nothing there but another of Minako's mistakes. No problem.
Also none of her underwear hanging on the line.
"Eh?" asked Ami as she looked at the ground, around the sides of her tent, and then finally inside her tent. "Where could they have gone?"
She didn't like camping out, she didn't like the poor light for her evening reading, she didn't like taking time off from cram school, and she really didn't care for the lack of plumbing. Now some wild animal had apparently run off with her underwear!
"Has anyone seen my underwear?" asked Rei.
"You too?" asked Usagi. "I went into my tent and all my snacks and my underwear were gone!"
"Whoa, deja voodoo," pronounced Minako as she approached the two. "Someone made a mess in MY tent too. You suppose it was the Mount Terror Monster?"
"'Mount Terror Monster'?" asked Rei and Usagi loud enough that Makoto and Ami heard and drew near enough to listen in.
"Yes, a terrible tragic story of a twisted little creature, half man and half moth, who eats silky underclothes!" said Minako.
"Humans and moths are so genetically incompatible that they couldn't possibly do that," protested Ami.
"Excuse me, we fight monsters from beyond time and associate with Norse god incarnations," said Rei. "We're magical princesses."
"And your point is?" asked Ami.
"Uhm, pardon me," said Artemis. "Did any of you know that there's an evil oompa loompah in Makoto's tent?"
The various girls, now including Akane who'd just come over to see what was going on, all nodded at each other. On this, an agreement could be made without a word being spoken.
