Okay, let's just say that I was in an EXTREMELY wacky mood and I
got the idea for this little story. In a total change of pace,
it's a one-shot fic. I hope you like it!

<< ONE >>
Ranma stepped out of the jeep and onto the soft ground.
America.
He took a breath. The clean mountain air sunk into his lungs,
and he exhaled.
He was promptly knocked over by Akane, who was getting out of
the jeep. She stepped on him. "You're in the way, Ranma!" She
then stepped off him.
Ranma stood up. "I won't dignify that with a response."
The remainder of the crew, Nabiki, Kasumi, Soun, Genma and P-
Chan got out of the jeep. P-Chan looked around at the trees.
Genma looked around as well. "What is this place again? What do
they call it?"
"Some national park. I don't remember the rest," Soun answered.
"Isn't it nice?" Kasumi said.
"Enthusiasm is not one of your traits, is it dear sister?"
Nabiki observed.
Genma pulled out the tents. "Where shall we put them?"
Soun pointed to a clearing under a shade of trees. "How about
over there?"
Dragging his son, Genma went to the clearing.
"Let go of me pop! I never wanted to come here anyway!"
Genma got down in his son's face. "But you're here now. And
since you are, put up those two tents." Genma started to walk
off.
"And just where are YOU going pop?!"
He patted his stomach. "To eat lunch."
* * *
"Mister Ranger isn't going to like this," the small figure said
to the larger one.
"Don't worry, my little young friend. It's spring time, with
lots of tourists and lots of picnic baskets!"
"I don't know..."
"Come on, it'll be fun!"
The two figures exited the cave.
* * *
"Hey Akane! Stop playing with that stupid pig and make yourself
useful! I could use a hand over here!"
Akane walked over and clapped.
"No, you tomboy! I need help putting up these tents!"
"What about your father?"
"He's over there eating lunch with YOUR father!"
Akane and Ranma commenced with the tents.
Genma sat in a chair in the sunshine, with a glass of lemonade.
"Ah, this is the life," Genma sighed.
Soun, doing the same, agreed. "Yeah. No wonder Americans are so
lazy."
They both chuckled.
P-Chan walked and looked around.
Ranma and Akane came back. "Tents are up."
Genma, without moving, said, "Good...good."
Nabiki was walking around, trying to calculate what she could
scam off the rest of the tourists. She came back empty-handed.
"Nothing," she sighed, to the point of being depressed.
Kasumi took out some of the sandwiches from the picnic basket
and passed them out.
Ranma chomped away and looked at the sandwich. "Lebanon
baloney."
A uniformed officer walked up to the group. "Hello there."
"Hello," Soun waved.
"My name is Ranger Smith, and I will be around just in case if
you need any help."
Genma downed the rest of his lemonade. "No problems so far. As
a matter of fact, it's great."
Kasumi smiled. "It's so nice out here. To be with nature. Makes
me want to get out more often."
The ranger laughed. "We aim to please. Oh, and one more thing:
don't feed the bears, especially the one named Yogi."
Soun looked up. "Yogi?"
"Yes, he has a habit of stealing picnic baskets from tourists."
Genma laughed as he glanced at Ranma. "Don't worry, we can
handle it."
"Don't hurt him," the ranger said, then added, "too much." Then
he walked off.
P-Chan was going crazy.
"What's that pig's problem?" Ranma asked, ready to bash him
with a rock.
Akane slammed the rock into Ranma's face. "He's trying to say
something."
P-Chan was having a fit, trying to point out that their picnic
basket was gone.
Akane still thought. "What is he...THE PICNIC BASKET!"
Everyone turned. "WHAT?"
"It's gone!"
Ranma jumped up. "I could be that bear...what's his name?
Yogi?"
Genma had an idea. "Let's split up!"
Soun agreed. "Good, Ranma and Akane, you take the west, Genma,
you take south, I'll take north. Kasumi and Nabiki you go east."
"Gotcha dad," Nabiki saluted. "It's not like there's much to do
here anyway."
Ranma and Akane got about ten yards away when she said,
"Where's P-Chan?"
"Don't worry. He's probably around somewhere. He'll be okay.
Let's just hope the bears don't eat him."
"You'd like that wouldn't you?"
Ranma thought. "As a matter of fact-"
Crack!
<< TWO >>
Yogi sat against the tree. "Look at these goodies!" He chomped
on one of the sandwiches. "Lebanon baloney."
"Yogi, you should put that back," Booboo said.
"Hey! Look at these!" Yogi pulled out two wooden sticks from
the basket. "Hey, they must be getting ready for Halloween. What
are these things? Antennas?" He put each one to a side of his
head.
"That's funny Yogi," Booboo chuckled.
Yogi rummaged inside the basket again. "Hey! These aren't for
Halloween. Those people are Japanese. Here's a bowl of...what do
you call it?"
"Ramen, I think."
"Yeah," Yogi took the chopsticks and made a little Japanese
type bow. "Would you like some flied lice?"
Booboo laughed.
Yogi bowed again.
He was then smashed over the head by a bamboo umbrella.
"Yooooouuuuuuucccchhh!" Yogi screamed as he hit the ground.
"You vile animal! Stealing picnic baskets!" Ryoga said as he
clenched his free fist in trademarked anime-style.
Booboo tapped Ryoga on the leg. "Excuse me, sir? Who are you
supposed to be?"
"I am Ryoga Hibiki. A martial artist."
Yogi stood up. "Oh? One of them karate people?" Yogi made a
boxing pose and bounced up and down slightly. "I've taken a few
lessons myself. Prepare to be discriminated!"
"I think you mean 'cremated' Yogi," Booboo corrected him.
"That's what I said. Put up your dukes, Reeyota!"
"That's Ryoga!"
Yogi was smashed over the head with the umbrella again.
"Owwwwwwww!" Yogi paused then re-posed himself. "Let's try that
again!"
Smash!
Yogi was mad. "Give me that umbrella!" Yogi took it and bashed
it over a surprised Ryoga's head. "Take that!"
* * *
Ranma and Akane walked around, Ranma still nursing a bruise.
"We've been all around and no sign of that bear," Akane
breathed.
They heard the sounds of battle coming from over the hill.
"What's that?!" Ranma cried.
"Let's find out!"
They ran over the hill to see Ryoga getting bashed over the
head with his own umbrella.
"Ryoga!" Akane yelled.
"Uh, Yogi. More people. The ranger isn't going to like this..."
Booboo whined.
Ryoga was on the ground, dazed.
Yogi was knocked into a tree by Ranma's jump-kick. "This is
getting really annoying," Yogi whimpered painfully.
Ranma made a fighting pose.
"Oh! You want to be bashed to?" Yogi made the same pose as
Ranma.
"Hey!" Ranma said, then changed poses.
Yogi changed to the same pose.
Ranma stood up and screamed "Stop that!"
Ranma was bashed over the head with the umbrella.
"Ranma!" Akane said.
Yogi leaned on the umbrella. "Nothin' to it, Boob. It's all in
the wrist."
"Uh, Yogi..."
"Let's go home, Booboo boy."
"Okay, Yogi."
The two bears left, leaving Akane in a befuddled state. "Ranma!
Ryoga!"
<< THREE >>
Ranma, Ryoga and Akane went back to the clearing.
"Any luck?" Soun asked.
"Yeah, all bad, and I've got the bumps to prove it." Ranma
said.
"Me too," Ryoga agreed.
"When did you get here, Ryoga?" Akane asked.
His mind went blank. "I...I was just walking around, and I saw
that bear with your picnic basket. I knew it was yours because I
saw the name 'Tendo' on it."
"Hmmm," Genma thought, "Looks like we'll have to stage an
attack upon this bear. He seems to be a true martial artist."
"Actually, no," Ryoga said, "He took my umbrella and hit me
with it...repeatedly."
"Where is this bear?" Soun asked.
"He went home. I don't know where it is, though. It's probably
a cave..." Akane answered.
"Then, let's find it!" Ranma cheered.
* * *
Kasumi was folding the clothes and putting them into the tents.
She heard footsteps behind her. She turned. "Who's there?"
Yogi and Booboo stepped out from behind a tree. "Hello," Yogi
waved.
Kasumi walked over to Booboo and patted him on the head. "How
cute!" She started to fiddle with his bow-tie.
"Uh...thanks..." Booboo blushed.
"You're that Japanese family, right?"
"Yes," Kasumi said as she stood. "My name is Kasumi Tendo. Nice
to meet you." She bowed.
Yogi bowed. "I am Yogi and this is my best friend and amigo,
Booboo."
"Nice to meet you," he said.
"I wanted to return your friend's umbrella." Yogi put it over
his head and opened it. Water fell from it and soaked Yogi. "He
might want to clean out this thing once in a while, though..."
"Oh my!" Kasumi gasped and handed him a towel.
"Thank you much," Yogi dried himself off. "Do you have anything
we can eat?"
"Yogi, I don't think Mister Ranger would-"
"Don't fret Boob, just a little slice of pizza pie, or a
smidgen of chocolate cake."
Kasumi looked around. "But we're not supposed to feed the
bears, the ranger told us so."
Yogi shook his head. "Don't worry. That's just so that the
bears don't become dependent on humans. Me, I'm already
dependent, so there's no harm, right?"
"I guess so..." Kasumi thought.
"Then...?"
Kasumi pulled out some egg-rolls and fed them to Yogi and
Booboo.
"Gee, these are nice," Booboo said, eating one.
"You said a mouthful, Boob." Yogi gulped and thought. "Say,
Kasmimi, what're in these things?"
"Her name is 'Kasumi', Yogi."
Kasumi giggled. "I don't give away my secrets."
"It's getting night-time, Yogi. We better go home," Booboo
tapped on Yogi's shoulder.
"Thanks for coming by," Kasumi called after them as they left.
"What an odd pair..."
<< FOUR >>
"Here's a cave," Ranma said to Akane and Ryoga.
"But, is it Yogi's?" Ryoga asked.
"How should I know?!" Ranma shot back.
"You're supposed to be the leader here!"
"This is no place for you two to be arguing!"
Yogi walked up with Booboo. "Hey! It's Reeyota!"
"That's RYOGA you flea trap!" Ryoga screamed. "Where's my
umbrella?!"
Yogi pointed back to their camp. "Kasmimi has it."
"'Kasumi', Yogi," Booboo corrected him, again.
"Enough!" Ranma yelled. "We'll finish this now!"
"Huh?" Yogi blurted out.
"A fight!" Ranma yelled again, as he made a fighting pose. He
then leaped right in front of Yogi and started his attack.
"Tenshin am-"
Ranma was cut off by a blow to the back of his head.
"This is MY fight Ranma!" Ryoga stepped on Ranma's back.
Ranma leapt up and cried out, "Hiryu shoten ha!"
Ryoga flew up into the air and landed on the ground.
"Hey Boob! That's a neat trick! Let me try..." Yogi started to
make a pose.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Yogi..." Booboo said as he
hid behind a rock.
Yogi pulled his hands back and yelled, "Hipnyu shropen ga!"
The air in front of him sputtered into a spark, then died in a
puff of smoke. "Hmmm, perhaps not enough concentration..."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Ranma screamed, after smashing Ryoga on
the head a few times.
"Kripmyu groden sna!" A big energy-fish flew toward Ranma and
knocked him into the cave wall.
"Ranma!" Akane yelled, though watching this fight with obvious
amusement.
Ranma got up, grabbed Ryoga, slung him over his shoulder and
grabbed Akane's hand. "Let's get outta here!" He ran for the
camp.
"How strange..." Booboo whispered as they left.
"Well Booboo, let's get some shut eye."
"Okay Yogi."
* * *
"He used what?!" Genma said as the rode in the jeep.
"A giant...fish...flew out and hit me..."
Genma folded his arms. "Hurumph. You're just imagining things."
"Am I?"
Genma and Ranma started to grapple in the jeep, making the
vehicle bounce around.
"Knock it off you two!" Soun yelled. "I can't drive with you
two fighting!"
They saw someone up on the road, sticking their thumb out for a
ride. He was carrying something that looked like a shotgun, and a
big floppy hat.
Soun stopped. "Need a lift?" he asked.
The short man got into the jeep and sat down.
"What's your name?" Nabiki asked.
"Me? My name's Elmer. I'm looking for a wabbit..." he laughed.
"Eh?!" Everyone exclaimed.
