"Think we've got enough popcorn, 'Suke?" asked Hiroshi, as he held on to extra-extra-extra-large bucket of buttered popcorn, a 'Saotome Special.'
"Hmmm," pondered Daisuke, as he contemplated the contents of his own tub of popcorn. "It should be enough, 'Roshi. Besides, we've got all these other stuff, too." He gestured with the hand holding a hot dog towards the backpacks full of chips, sandwiches, and candy. "Where did Mr. Saotome go now, anyways?"
"Ah, let me see," said the sandy-haired boy. "There he is! He's riding the Tilt-a-Whirl." Hiroshi started shoveling popcorn into his mouth as he watched the show. Daisuke quickly followed suit, stuffing the hot dog into his mouth. The dark-haired boy gulped down some soda then started upon his own bucket of buttered popcorn.
Down below, a panda slowly but surely slid along the rotating wall of the ride. Not far behind him, his pursuers also slid along the wall, trying to get closer and closer to the panda. They all held large nets in their hands.
"Whoa, they almost got him that time!" crowed Hiroshi. The men with large nets all jumped at the same time. Predictably, they all got in each other's way. Genma gave the attendants from the Tokyo Zoo and the activists from the World Wildlife Association the slip.
"Hey, he's going for a roller-coaster again! How many people do you think will catch it this time?" asked Daisuke as he slowly chewed on a pickle.
"Just the martial artists probably. No one else is crazy enough to jump onto a moving rail car like Mr. Saotome."
"Ha, you're wrong there! Those half-naked bathhouse women just ran over those cowboys and hopped onboard. That's three-two, and I'm leading."
Hiroshi shrugged as he started on a pork bun. "Eh, win some, lose some. Hello! The panda just jumped boat!"
"That's pretty gutsy, for the old man. Guess those women got too close for comfort. Now, if that was me down there, I wouldn't be running from those hot chicks. I'd be like, 'Punish me lovingly, my Queen!'"
"Well, the panda just landed on a balloon vendor, so he should be okay. Don't think that vendor's going to be happy though."
"Oo, the redhead with the sword just spotted him! And he hadn't noticed her yet! What I wouldn't give for a mature woman like that to follow me around..."
"He's noticed her now! Watch him run! Mr. Saotome's pretty lucky she cut open the white balloon instead of him."
"Yep. Look there! He's going around the corner and past the funhouse. I think he's headed for bumper cars."
"Hey, 'Suke?" interrupted Hiroshi, as he started pouring a bag of chips into his mouth. "Do you think those restaurant guys are ever going to get out of the wrecked funhouse?"
"Probably. It looked like Mr. Saotome really pissed them off the way they smashed all those mirrors that had his reflection. A building falling on top of them isn't going to stop them. It didn't stop us, did it?"
"Nope, it didn't. Hey, I think those two Sailor Senshi finally got free from the popcorn they get buried in. I just saw them each get into a bumper car. I guess they finally decided to listen to the guys handling the rides."
"Heh," smirked Daisuke. "Those two Sailor chicks didn't expert their opponents' kung fu to be so strong. Carnival Martial Arts and Crafts is a school to be respected and revered." The sandy-haired boy spoke in a solemn tone.
"Yep," agreed Hiroshi. "Especially since we got to see some panty shots when they tossed them into that popcorn machine." The dark-haired boy leered as he munched on his buttered popcorn. "Mmmm, Neptune-flavored. How does Uranus taste like?"
"Tangy," said Daisuke with a grin. "Hoy! I think Mr. Saotome's heading this way!"
"What? You're right! And those Sailor Senshi are right on his tail!"
"They're both firing up their attacks! You think they're going to hit him this time, 'Roshi?"
"They'll probably miss again. Mr. Saotome's too wily for them."
"We'll see. They- Ack!" Daisuke's face suddenly smacked into the glass window of the Ferris Wheel car. As for Hiroshi, he toppled over from his seat. Popcorn and chips and wrappers flew everywhere.
"Guess you were right, 'Roshi," mumbled Daisuke. "Those two missed. That's three-three. We're tied." Looking down below, he added, "The Ferris Wheel's not moving for a while. The controls are all smashed."
"Oh, well," replied Hiroshi. He slowly got up from the mess on the floor. "What we going to do now, 'Suke?"
"Same thing we do every time, 'Roshi," replied Daisuke. "Try to find a way out!"
