Its a Draw

“Ahhhh!” They all screamed as the platform collapsed underneath the pileup of girls. The platform rapidly folded up and disappeared into the water allowing your girls to fall into the water harmlessly.

“Both teams eliminated! It's a draw!” Green Toad held a hand to his forehead and overly-dramatically groaned in disappointment.

“I hope we have enough towels,” Daisy says looking at the massive pool.

“And they get them out before the feeding frenzy,” you comment, seeing the horde of the mermaids swarming towards the surprised and splashing girls.

“Feeding Frenzy?!” Aelita and Ahsoka exclaimed and looked at the ravenous mermaids diving at your harem.

“Don’t worry, they aren’t cannibal,” you shook your head, chuckling all the same.

“But…”

“They are all Arielist, they practically worship humans and their stuff,” you reassure them. The screen that had a close up of the participating ladies suddenly had to censor the screen as several mermaids were able to wrestle the shirts and pants off of Erza, Marinette, Mirajane, and Suki. “Yikes, they must’ve gotten bored of their copies of employee and servant uniforms.”

“Fisher units to the mermaid habitat on the double,” Green Toad whispered into his comms. “Guests and their clothes in need of retrieval. Immediately.” Just as Green Toad said ‘Immediately’, two blond mermaids pulled Ranko’s Dragon Whisker hair tie, unraveling her pigtail and causing her hair to start growing rapidly again, flooding the nearby water with her hair. The mermaids quickly swam away while still fighting over the hair tie.

“I thought we just gave them a fresh set of human relics,” Daisy said as she checked her comms. “Oh! With the wedding prep, we had to pull Toads from shipping. The shipment has been waiting at the depot all this time. My bad…”

A flight of Toads and Koopas on hover pads and clouds descended on the ‘swimming pool’ and started pulling your girls up. A separate set started chasing after the fleeing mermaids and even dove underwater after them.

“Did no one think to tell us about the mermaids’ ‘habits’?” Erza complained as a Koopa lowered his hook and dropped her on the stands. She was covering her J-Cup boobs with her hands, it looks like a lucky mermaid managed to get away with her bra. A Toad quickly offered her a large towel that she quickly wrapped herself with.

Soon most of the other participants were getting lowered in various states of undress. It looked like the only one who made it out without getting stripped was Alex who was still wearing her catsuit and boots. Though it looks like she was missing a bracelet.

The biggest concern was Ranko whose hair was rapidly growing out of control. The Koopa who plucked her out of the water was starting to struggle to lift her as her hair grew longer and longer and got more waterlogged. It didn’t help that some of her hair was getting pulled by some of the younger mermaids.

“Get a dragon whisker!” You shouted to a Toad who jumped and flew off on a hover platform. One brave Koopa came by with a garden shears and cut clean through the hair (you Gardners buy gardening equipment of the highest quality, though mostly only the ones connected to nature). This helped get Ranko out of the water and the remaining mermaids started gathering the wet hair but it didn’t stop the hair growth.

“The water filters are not going to like that,” you say at the massive spread of hair.

“Guess you could say she’s kinda hairy,” Daisy snarked just as a Toad popped out of the water holding a thin cord a bit confused.

“Tie her hair with it!” The Koopa carrying Ranko set her down on the stands and the one with shears cut her hair again just in time for the Toad to land and hand the cord to Ranko.

“Thanks,” Ranko nodded, straining from the weight of her wet hair as she quickly wrapped the hair into a pig tail using the cord. The hair growth stopped immediately and she was left with a long pigtail with enough loose hair to rival Rapunzel.

“While we wait for you all to dry off and get a change of clothing, why don’t we discuss the results?” Green Toad requested nervously under the glares of your wet girls a few minutes later. They were all in towels waiting for dry changes of clothing or for their clothing to get liberated from the mermaids and flash dried. The stands had some rapid dryers for whenever someone got wet during playtime.

“Yeah, you said it was a draw.” Katara said as she and Marinette helped to comb and cut Ranko’s hair to a more manageable level now that her hair stopped growing.

“Correct Miss Katara, “ Green Toad nodded. “According to Gardner Games rules, there can only be two things to do now about the disagreement.”

“Have neither of the options or both, those in disagreement could also pick an alternate option,” Daisy announces. “So really three options.” Daisy then looks at your fiancees. “So what would it be ladies? We can easily just add another table of sweets for both cookies.”

“We can also have room for taback pudding,” Starfire cheered. Taback pudding was a pudding that when properly cooked and freshly made tasted like a raspberry, pomegranate, and banana mix.

“And macaroons from the first bakery I ate at with James,” Aelita agreed. The bakery she was referring to was a replica of Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie from Miraculous Ladybug; many iconic locations have been opened on Prime Earth with much of the atmosphere remaining the same. You consider one day taking Marinette to the place one day.

You see out of the corner of your eye several Toads shake their heads in exhaustion. Daisy nodded and looked at those Toads, “you heard the brides add a table and see the Magikoopas and Mary about magically expanding the reception venue. Again.” The Toads nodded before going off to follow their orders.

“Now, I believe there are still a couple more big disagreements left?” Daisy asked. “Or should we solve things civilly?” Aelita and Starfire looked at each other for a few seconds before looking at Daisy with firm faces.
