Chapter 125: Melon Head

It was summer! And summer meant beaches! Fun! Going to the beach and having a lot of fun.

Though Ranma-Chan was grumbling a bit.

"Come on it's not that bad." Said Momo.

"I'm just not a big beach fan since you know…" said Ranma-Chan.

"You should be used to it by now." Said Momo.

"I know… I know…" mumbled Ranma-Chan.

"Hey… don't be that way! I mean what's the worst that can happen during this trip?" asked Momo.

"You just jinxed us!" yelled Ran.

"What?" asked Momo.

"Something's going to happen today." Said Ran with a sweat drop.

"She's got a point." Said Ranma-Chan nodding in agreement.

"Are you sure?" asked Momo.

That was when an unconscious Kuno washed up on the beach. All of them stared at him with sweat drops.

"Oh come on!" yelled Ranma-Chan.

"See… this is what I meant…" sighed Ran.

That was when he regained consciousness.

"Kuno…" muttered Ranma-Cahn.

"What?" asked Kuno, "Who am I?"

They all stared at him.

"Okay… I'm going back to the hotel." Said Ran.

"What? Why?" asked Momo.

"When was the last time something that had to do with someone's memories getting messed up being a good thing?" asked Ran.

"What" asked Ranma-Chan.

"The time with Shampoo… the time with that whole thing with Discord… that time you thought you were a girl." Said Ran.

"Wait does that time with Ranma count as memories?" asked Momo.

'I'm counting it!" said Ran.

She walked to the hotel muttering under her breath.

"What's her problem?" asked Kuno.

"Don't ask." Said Ranma-Cahn.

"Oh I see…" said Kuno.

"Hey! What's going on?" asked Akane.

"Oh my!" said Kuno seeing her.

"Uh…" said Akane.

"I'm sorry I can't' remember you, but I wish I did!" said Kuno.

"Okay…" said Akane.

"Did you really lose your memory?" asked Nabiki showing up along with Akane as well as Kasumi.

"Yes, I can't remember anything." Said Kuno.

"So you don't' remember me lending you 1,000 yen." Said Nabiki

"Nabiki…" sighed Katsumi.

"You're right, I should have asked for 2,000." Said Nabiki.

Akane just face palmed.

"Seriously…" she muttered.

But honestly she really shouldn't be that surprised.

"So what are we going to do with him?" asked Ranma-Chan.

"We should help him!" said Momo.

"Seriously?" asked Ranma-Chan.

"He had his memory scrambled." Said Momo.

"Yeah… she does have a point." Said Akane.

"We've all experienced weird memory things." Said Momo.

"You only had for a minute." Said Akane with a sweat drop.

"That might be but it was still scary." Said Momo.

"She does have a point." Muttered Ranma-Chan face palming.

"And I'm sure Shampoo would probably agree." Pointed Momo.

"She's got a point." Sighed Akane face palming.

Ranma-Chan couldn't help but to sigh considering that Shampoo was hit twice…

As usual when they were at the beach she would be working at the Cat Café stall.

"Maybe we should head there." Said Momo.

"Also Cologne might know something." Pointed out Hikaru.

And so they went to Cat Café stand.

"So you lost your memory.' Said Cologne.

"Yes I cannot remember anything." Said Kuno.

"So…" said Shampoo looking at everyone.

They knew what the look was.

She was affected more by the memory manipulation than the rest of them.

Ranma's situation was a tricky one so it wouldn't really count…

"Don't worry it's hopefully mundane." Said Cologne.

"Really?" asked everyone else.

"I heard rumors about a nearby island." Said cologne.

"Really what?" asked Ranma-Chan.

"There is a training ground on the island." Said Cologne.

"A training ground?" asked Hikaru.

"Yes… one for swordsman." Said Cologne.

"Oh… that must have happened to me." Said Kuno, "Wait… am I a swordsman?"

"Yes…" sighed everyone.

"Why are you acting that way?" asked Kuno.

"No reason…" said Momo.

"Okay then…" said Kuno.

None of them were going to tell him that none of them liked him after all.

"As I was saying Swordsman go to the island to train and often times they wash up on the shore with no memories." Said Cologne.

"So what if we hit him in the head with a rock." Said Momo.

"No…" said almost everyone.

"But it worked last time with the mundane way." Said Momo.

"It's still not a good idea." Said Cologne.

"She's' right." Pointed out Hikaru.

Momo pouted when they said that.

"Plus I didn't have amnesia…" said Ranma-Chan.

"We think…" added Hikaru.

"So what are we going to do? Help him through this as normal people for once?" asked Ranma-Chan.

Sometime later…

"I can't believe we're helping him through this as normal people." Said Ranma-Chan with a sweat drop.

"What's wrong with that?" asked Momo.

"It's still Kuno." Said Ranma-Chan.

"Well…" said Momo.

"I know you want to make everyone happy but it's still Kuno." Groaned Ranma-Chan glaring at Momo.

"Yeah… but he's still in a bad place." Said Momo.

"I know." Sighed Ranma-Chan.

"We should help him no matter what!" said Momo.

"I should have ran like Rainbow Dash." Sighed Ranma-Chan.

Meanwhile Rainbow Dahs was playing a video game in their hotel room.

She took a break to think about something.

"Did I make the right choice?" she asked.

She countified to play.

"You know what I did." Said Rainbow Dash.

She didn't care she might get caught though… she knew she could pass for a stuffed toy…

Back at the beach…

"Come on it's not that bad." Said Momo, "We can have fun with him without him doing his usual thing."

"What?" asked Ranma-Chan.

"You know." Said Momo.

"Oh… hitting on us." Said Ranma-Chan.

"Yep!" said Momo.

"Why didn't you just say that…" said Ranma-Chan.

Momo shrugged.

"And about that…" said Ranma-Chan.

She pointed at Kuno talking to Chiyo.

"I haven't seen such a ravishing beauty such as yourself." Said Kuno.

Chiyo didn't respond.

"There's there still some of him in there." Sighed Ranma.

"Yeah I guess you have a point." Said Momo.

Ranma-Chan sighed.

"Come on it will be fine!" said Momo.

"That's the sort of thing said when everything goes wrong." Pointed out Ranma.

"Well…" said Momo.

Ranma-Chan just stared at her.

"You know what! Let's do some watermelon splitting!" said Momo.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" asked Ranma-Chan.

"Probole just you." Said Momo.

Ranma-Chan sighed and joined them.

But he couldn't shake off the bad feeling.

A they began the transitional Japanese game… all hell broke loose.

The second that Kuno saw the watermelon… something strange happened.

He sliced and diced it like there was no tomorrow.

Then nearby someone knocked away a cart of more watermelons.

And things got even more insane.

He was like a machine just chopping the watermelons.

And they were perfect too.

"We have to stop him"! said Akane.

"How!" called out Momo.

"I have a way." Said Hikaru.

"Really what?" asked Akane.

That was when Twilight's hands glowed.

"Oh… right…" said Akane.

"You should have known that would be the answer…" said Alex with a sweat drop.

She covered Kuno in a bubble stopping his weird watermelon induced rampage.

And then she used another spell to knock him out.

Everyone was breathing heavily!

"Okay! We need more answers!" yelled Hikaru.

They all once again met up with Cologne.

She of course sighed.

"I haven't gotten any more information." She explained.

"Seriously!" they all yelled.

"I'm sorry but I don't' know." Sighed cologne.

"Maybe he just developed an irrational hatred of watermelons." Said Momo.

They all looked at Momo.

"What?" she asked.

"Pinkie Pie's odd ideas aside." Sighed Alex.

"Kay…" said Momo.

"Whatever this training he did clearly gave him a power boost." Said Hikaru.

"I don't think it's that." Said Ranma-Chan.

"We need to figure out everything." said Hikaru.

"Maybe we if we go to the island and figure things out!" said Momo.

"Pinkie has a point." Sighed Alex.

"But what if something happens that will cause us to lose our memories too." Said Hikaru.

"From what I heard it's not setting foot on the island." Said Cologne.

"Just the training?" asked Ranma.

"There's a lot of rumors…" said Cologne, "But there have been times where people went to the island to just gather watermelon and they came back fine."

"What…" said Ranma-Chan with a sweat drop.

"Come o it's an island filled with watermelon, of course people would sneak there for free watermelon." Said Momo.

Ranma-Chan realized she had a point and shrugged it off.

"So… what's the plan?" asked Hikaru.

"At least two people should go with him…" said Cologne.

"She's probably right." Said Chiyo.

"Probably a good idea to not leave him alone with someone." Said Momo.

"Even in this state he's Kuno." Sighed Belle.

"Yeah…" said Ranma.

"I'll go." Said Hikaru, "It's probably a good idea for me to go since I can handle him with magic."

"Who else will go." Said Alex.

"I'll go." Said Ranma-Chan.

"Are you sure?" asked Akane.

"It's still Kuno and I know how to handle him." Muttered Ranma-Chan.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Um excuse me… can you let me out." Said Kuno from inside a bubble.

It was better to keep him out of the way during this talk to many reasons.

"In a bit." Sighed Hikaru.

"Should you pony up with him?" asked Ranma-Chan.

"Should that be what we call it when we're ponies." Said Momo.

"Look… let's not focus on that." Sighed Hikaru.

"Why not…" said Momo, "We're struggling with the word count…"

"What?" asked Hikaru.

"What?" said Momo.

"The point is we'll be going by bat onto an island that's probably filled with cold water." Pointed out Hikaru.

"Which means you'll be a girl on that island Ranma." Said Akane.

Ranma-Chan sighed and massaged a head she was devolving.

"I'll keep that in mind." She said.

"Do you really think this could work?" asked Chiyo.

"We'll just have to wait and see…" said Ranma-Chan.

"Can I bet let now?" asked Kuno.

"In a few minutes!" said Momo.

They began to work out more of the plans.

Because seriously it was weird.

They managed to get their hands on a boat to go to the island.

IT was small motor boat but it was enough for the three of them, especially with magic.

"So… we're going to see if I can remember anything?" asked Kuno.

"We are." sighed Hikaru

"Two beautiful women are helping me find out who I am…" said Kuno looking at the two.

Both of them stared at him with sweat drops.

"This is going to be a pain." Sighed Ranma.

"I know…" sighed Hikaru facepalming

Both of then sweat dropped.

"What's wrong?" asked Kuno.

"It's nothing…" sighed Hikaru.

"Yeah…" sighed Ranma-Chan.

They all forced on going to the island. After all it's one of those times they couldn't just let Kuno be that way…

Even if he was Kuno… Probably a good idea to help him get his memories back…

Back on the main land… Ran got word that Hikaru and Ranma-Cha left with Kuno and left the hotel room and came back to the beach. Also she realized it probably wasn't a good idea to be a pony in a hotel room alone. Along with something she realized.

"So they went to the island where Kuno probably lost his memory?" asked Ran.

"Yeah we figured it would be the best place to look into what happened." Said Alex.

"You know I realized something… since this is a normal case of amnesia why didn't Twilight think of using the memory spell?" asked Ran.

There was an awkward silence.

"Wait… did we even talk about the memory spell?" asked Akane.

There was another awkward silence;.

"Of course we forgot about that…" muttered Belle.

"Well… let's just see what happens." Said Ran.

"Maybe some of us should go follow them." Sighed Chiyo, "Especially since we should see if the memory spell will work."

Akane sighed and face palmed.

"Tell her we should have tried that." Said Ran.

"Yeah.." sighed Akane.

"You're going." Said Alex.

"I figured…" sighed Ran and then added under her breath, "Really shouldn't have ditched you guys earlier."

"Okay… let's figure out a plan!" said Momo.

"Are you sure you want to go?" asked Ran.

"Hey! I'm sure I should go." Said Momo.

"Just let her go." Sighed Akane.

Ran nodded knowing that would be impossible form stopping her form going.

And soon it was decided that Akane, Ran and Momo would be the ones to go to the island after them.

"This is going to end badly…": muttered Ran.

"Probably." Replied Momo.

With that in order to solve and maybe fix Kuno's memories two groups were getting ready for something… but who knew what lied on that island…

Well besides watermelon… lots and lots of watermelon.

Next Time: Hikaru and Ranma-Chan must explore the island to figure out how Kuno lost his memories or at least get them back... will it work? Or will something else happen? Find out next time!
