The Pixie merely giggled and flew up where the human couldn't reach, looking over the weird thing she'd gotten out of his backpack.
"That ain't funny," said Ranma. "Well, if you're gonna be that way-"
The Pixie blinked. The weird magazine with drawings had disappeared from her hands? Looking down she could see where the human was stuffing it into the backpack again? "Qwee! Qwee!"
"It don't matter how much ya gonna make squeaky noises at me, ya ain't getting this back," said Ranma, making sure the ties were tight this time.
"Qwee! Qwee! QWEE!"
Ranma didn't even look up. "Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak to you too."
Whap!
Wiping mud off his face, Ranma turned to regard the angry Pixie. "Can't stand being ignored, huh? Well, I gotta train ya anyway. Training starts now."
Putting her hands on her hips, the Pixie prepared to berate her trainer some more when she'd noticed he'd vanished. "Qwee?"
WHAP!
Slowly the Pixie picked herself up and wiped mud off of herself. There before her was her trainer, and he was smirking at her.
"First lesson, Pixie chick. Ranma Saotome don't lose."
"QWEEEEE!" Pixie got quite upset and began grabbing handfuls of mud to throw at this infuriating trainer.
The trainer responded by dodging mud and throwing balls of mud BACK.
"Okay, it's been three weeks since Ranma was wished out of reality by Akane," said Nabiki. "Ranma-chan photographs are now triple the original price."
Ryonami nodded. "Why the price reduction? Because they wouldn't sell at five times the price?"
"Exactly," said Nabiki. "What are the betting pools like?"
"Ukyo and Shampoo are still arguing over who has the most right of way. Ukyo just wants to break most of Akane's bones and leave it at that. Shampoo is still changing methods of Akane removal. I think the most recent involved 'Spring Of Drowned Toad' and Kodachi's pet alligator." Ryonami checked her notes. "Kodachi is still heavily medicated. How did you know she was about to use that blowpipe?"
Nabiki wasn't about to admit she hadn't any idea, just that she closed the window on the pipe. It was just Kodachi's bad luck to swallow the dart. "Trade secret."
"Right," said Ryonami. "Kuno's still gloating over having driven the foul sorcerer away and broken his hold over Akane. Ranma's father is still planning on divorcing Nodoka and marrying Kasumi?"
"Last I heard," agreed Nabiki.
"Ukyo was saying that if they changed it to Akane marrying Genma, that'd be punishment enough and she wouldn't have to maim your sister." Ryonami looked up from her notes. "What do you think?"
"That'd skew the betting pool, wouldn't it?" Nabiki smiled. "I'll suggest it. It's better than me being the victim."
The Pixie groaned as she stretched out. Stupid trainer. She'd only managed to tag him once more before collapsing.
Wait a minute. She was warm?
Slowly she looked around. She had been cleaned off and put under a blanket. The trainer had placed a cookstove in the center of the room and was putting buckets of hot water around?
"Definitely needs work," said the trainer. "Yeesh. Need to replace them braces up there, patch holes in the walls. If that roof don't leak, then my old man don't lie when it suits 'im."
"Qwee?" Pixie didn't understand most of that.
"Ya know, ya kinda remind me of someone. Think I'll name you... nah. She wished me here and there ain't that much of a resemblence. I'll just call you... P-chan? Nah. Lessee. Yer kinda..."
"Qwee?" Pixie sleepily asked. Then yawned.
"I'll get back to ya on it," said Ranma.
