"RANMA!" The raven-haired girl screamed chasing after a boy with black hair tied into a pigtail.

"I didn't do it this time tomboy so keep back!" Ranma yelled running through the Tendo halls.

"This time you can't apologize!" She yelled striking him with a large mallet hitting him into the yard. He stood with a bump on his head as the girl jumped out to meet him.

"It was all Happo-" Ranma is hit over the wall into the street where a pickup truck mows him down.

"Ranma!" She ran out to meet the boy who lied unconscious in the street. "I didn't mean for this."

"Wh-where am I?" The boy sat up in a hospital bed grabbing his head.

"You're up Ranma. I'm so sorry about this." The girl sat nearby unable to look at him.

"Who are you?" Ranma asked in confusion.

"Oh no! You have amnesia?" Akane stood almost ready to cry.

"Amnes-what? You use big words lady. Where's mama?" The boy sat with tears in his eyes as he began to cry.

"Are you okay?" Akane looked on confused.

"I want my mama!" Ranma wailed as a woman with dark hair enters coming to his side. "Mommy!" Ranma moved hugging her.

"Was my boy crying? That isn't very manly." The mother said to Akane.

"There's something wrong with him. He's not acting like Ranma." Akane said drifting away.

"He seems just like the Ranma I remember from long ago." Nodoka stated wiping Ranma's tears away.

Dr. Tofu enters to find the three. "What was all that about?"

"I think Ranma has slight amnesia Dr. Tofu." Akane said to the doctor.

"Let me see. What is your name boy?" Tofu said coming to Ranma.

"Me name id Saotome Ranma." He said a bit scared of the doctor.

"Okay, how old are you?" Tofu asked as Ranma began looking at his fingers.

"I'm this many." Ranma said showing one hand with all five digits out.

"So you're five years old then? I see." Tofu said turning away scratching his head.

"What is it doctor?" Nodoka inquired.

"Ranma has forgotten all that has happened to him over the past twelve years. It may not be permanent so in time he'll remember hopefully. Until then just go about things like normal, but make sure he doesn't get splashed by the cold water. Who knows what would happen if he were to turn into a girl in this state."

"So Ranma's a kid again?" Akane said trying to make sense of it all.

"I get a second chance to be with my son." Nodoka said with enthusiasm as the boy still hugged her wearing a smile.

"Ranma as a five year old?" Akane said to herself in a whisper. "This is all my fault."

"I'm Ranma by the way lady. Who are you?" The boy asked tugging on her shirt.

"Huh? I'm Akane, you're new best friend." She said with a smile.

"Yeah! A new friend." Ranma said with a laugh.
