Nodoka's Mother's Day gift v2

Since his mother had come back into his life, he had been worrying about a day that was rapidly approaching and that day is Mother's Day. There were a couple of reasons for this

Nabiki had taken all his money so he couldn't buy her something

Each time he started to make her something a fiancée would assume it was for her or Akane would accuse him and mallet him

So, he went to the only (reliable and trustworthy person in the city he could since left...Kasumi. After talking to her they came up with a plan, which Kasumi would arrange for Ranma

MOTHER'S DAY

Ranma got up tossed his father out the window into the koi pond, then entered the Umisenken and went to Kasumi's room. Making sure that no one was in the hall he entered her room and saw the stuff she had left for him

"I trust Kasumi, I asked her to help me, you are doing this for your mother"

Ranma said out loud then switched to thinking it over and over in a mantra as he

ate the age-altering mushroom and became a five-year-old again. He then got dressed in the chibi version of his normal outfit Kasumi had made for him the last time he became a kid. As he was about to head downstairs, she heard Kasumi yell

"BREAKFAST"

Ranma walked down the hallway, downstairs and stop he took a deep breath then ran into the dining room and leaped toward his mother

"Mommy"

"snort…Mommy, aww does wanna not want to be a big boy anymore" Ranma pull back and glared at Nabiki before running out of the room

"Uh oh, your about to regret that Naby" Kasumi said knowingly as Ranma had warned her

"Naby? You haven't called me that sin…gulp" The reaction was instantly Nabiki shrunk into her clothes,

"Since you fink it funny, I am doing this for mommy. You can widdle until I change back"

Nabiki was a bit upset as Kasumi sighed and took her out of the room, when she returned, she was wearing black socks, blue jeans overalls with a floral ruffled blouse, as soon as Nabiki entered she ran up to Ranma and hugged him

"Sowwy Oniichan, sowwy mommy"

"It's ok imouto, but no more fighting today. We be good for her its Mommy's Day" he turned to his mother "can we go, Mommy?" Nodoka nodded and they left

"Why are they acting like that? Ranma didn't act like this the last time" Akane asked

"True but these that we used I had sent from the mushroom temple, apparently they didn't have any small mushrooms of the normal age altering mushrooms but had ones from their crossbreed version"

"Crossbred"

"Yes, they are a mix of the temporal and hypnotic mushrooms so it causes both body and mind to regress so technically they are kids again. However, I don't know why they are acting like brother and sister, unless maybe deep down they truly feel that way about each other." She turned to Happosai "Grandfather, I am telling you now if the mushrooms I have go missing, I will burn your precious collection"

"But what if I didn't do it?"

"Then you better help get them back because if you don't you probably won't see Ranma-chan ever again" he nodded

Nodoka and two kids left the Tendo house and the first thing they did was go out for brunch at the Royal Fork* buffet restaurant before they left Nodoka asked what they wanted to do next and after a round of Rock-Paper-Scissors

They then went to the zoo, what was shocking to Nabiki and Nodoka was that Ranma loved to see the Lions and Tigers but figured it was because he was younger than when he went through the Nekoken training. They had fun at Aunt Sally's Farm/petting zoo and riding the mini steam engine before leaving the park

Then it was Nabiki's turn and they went to do Karaoke. While Nabiki did a few anime themes, Ranma found a couple of songs he wanted to do so after about of encouragement he got up and

"If there's something strange in your neighborhood

Who ya gonna call ghostbusters

If it's something weird and it don't look good

Who ya gonna call ghostbusters

I ain't afraid a no ghost I ain't afraid a no ghost

If you're seeing things running thru your head

Who can you call ghostbusters"

(A/N: not putting the whole thing")

After a few more songs (two more by Ranma) they headed home, when they got home Nodoka told them to go get ready for bed and they ran up the stairs stopping at Ranma's door where Nabiki hugged Ranma

"I'm sowwy about teasing you earlier"

"It's ok imouto"

"Ranma, you know I'm not your sister"

"Nabs, whether or not you like it and whether or not I marry Akane…when I'm older" he smirked and she rolled her eyes "you are and always will be my sister" they hugged

"Your brother's right" Nodoka said causing them to jump apart "you will always be my daughter whether or not Ranma marries Akane," they then hugged her and chorused

"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, MOM"

A/N: As of December 21 2021, sadly thanks to Covid one of the best buffet restaurants in Winnipeg the Royal Fork Buffet closed its doors permanently

March 26 2021 the Assiniboine Zoo brought back Aunt Sally's Farm although it is completely different from the original as it's NOT a petting zoo
