"My son a boy?" Genma turned to stare into the corner.

"Now the school's may never be joined!" Soun began weeping profusely.

"Look at the funny men." Ranma said laughing clapping his hands.

"Does Ranma know how to use the toilet?" Akane asked taking a seat at the table in the family room.

"I believe so. I remember Genma forcing it upon him at age two." The older woman said seated across from Ranma and Akane.

"So what now?" Akane asked.

"You Akane will watch over him." The two fathers said at once.

"What?! Why?" Akane hit the table with her two fists.

"Akane doesn't like me?" Ranma asked as tears formed.

"Uh, of course not Ranma. I like you very much. Now stop crying." Akane said coming to a more calm tone.

"Yeah!" Ranma jumped into her arms hugging her, as she is embarrassed since he's still his normal teen size. "So you will play with me then?"

"Uh, yeah, yeah sure." Akane nodded breaking his hug.

"Okay so what did Dr. Tofu say?" Genma asked looking to the two girls as Ranma wandered off.

"He said not to force Ranma to remember his past. That and to make sure he doesn't turn girl." Akane said looking away.

"He's a huge water magnet though. This'll be tough." Genma said turning to the rest.

"There's nothing fun here. No toys or nothin'." Ranma whined coming back in.

"Akane take my son to the mall for some toys." Genma said handing her some yen.

"Me?" Akane said taking it.

"You are his babysitter now. It's better than being fiancée correct?" Soun said with crossed arms. Akane nodded her head with hesitation.

"Yeah Aka-Chan, take me to the mall." Ranma said grabbing Akane's hand pulling her away from the table.

"What did you call me? Aka-Chan?" Akane asked standing up.

"It's easier to say. Now let's go get toys. I want a truck, and a baseball, and a bat too."

"Okay, okay. Slow down. We'll go Ranma." Akane taking Ranma's hand walks out of the room.

"Ranma as a kid again?" Genma shudders at the thought. "This will be a bit tough. He acted the opposite then."

"His present state no doubt was brought on by a certain bald male in this room." Nodoka says eyes closed as Soun scoots away from Genma.

"Honey. Soun's not bald, nor did he raise Ranma." Genma said with arms crossed as the other two looked at him strangely.

Akane and Ranma are in a large store in the toy section. Akane carries a toy truck, plane, a baseball, a bat, a glove, a Mobile Suit in Action figure, and a kite.

"Are you sure you need all this Ranma?" Akane said looking over the items with suspicion.

"A'kourse I do Aka-Chan. What kid doesn't? Oh, I'll need another gandamn to fight with." Ranma said running to an aisle.

"Okay Ranma. I'll get a basket to hold these all." Akane walks over to get a hand basket from nearby and returns to find no Ranma. "Ranma? This isn't funny mister. Come on out right now!"

Across the store in the hardware section is Ranma. "Aka-Chan? Where are you? Wah! Aka-Chan!" Ranma sits on the floor crying as some look on confused.

"Are you okay?" A woman who works there comes to his side.

"I can-ca-can't f-fi-find Aka-Chan!" He cries some more.

"Uh, sir are you okay?"

"Ranma!" Akane comes with a smile as Ranma jumps hugging her as she falls to the floor. "Ugh, I found you."

"I was so scared." Ranma said crying into her chest. Akane stands up glaring at the people.

"Haven't you ever seen an amnesiac? Pheh. Let's go Ranma." Akane takes his hand and walks to the register with her basket.

"So where is he gonna go during the day if I'm in school?" Akane asks the three adults at the table that night.

"You can't take a five year old to high school. Hmm." Genma said rubbing his chin in question.

"Ranma never went to kindergarten, sign him up for that for now." The older women mentioned to the rest.

"Won't it be weird him being seventeen and all?" The girl questioned.

"Not at all. Send him to kindergarten starting tomorrow." The Tendo father explained.

"If you're his mother Mrs. Saotome why am I doing everything a mother would do. Taking him to the store, watching him, signing him up for school, taking him to school." Akane started counting them on her fingers.

"As his fiancée I believe you should do them and I won't. Besides it would make me breakdown and cry that I didn't get to the first time." The older woman answered with a tear in eye.

"Fine. I'll be his mother for the moment. At least I don't have to breast feed him. He could eat at age five right?" The two parents look at one another then nod to her.

The end of that week…

Akane is picking up Ranma from school. He wears a uniform even carrying a bag.

"How was your day Ranma?" Akane asked cheerfully.

"It was great! We had so much fun. I even got a problem right." Ranma said enthusiastically following.

"You did?"

"Yep. I got it done first too. It was two plus two and I knew it was four. I figured out how to count to ten easy."

"Oh yeah?" Akane asked.

"Yep. I used my fingers ca' each finger is a one and you put another to make two and another for three." Ranma says showing with his fingers.

"That's being smart Ranma. I'm glad you're doing so well. Just for that we can have ice cream." Akane said with a smile.

"Ice cream yeah!" Ranma was jumping up and down clapping.

"Ranma is that your mommy?" A little boy asked as they were leaving.

"Nuh-uh. This is Aka-Chan my very best friend." Ranma answered back to the boy.

"Oh okay. C'ya tomowow Ranma." The boy turned walking away with his mother.

"Let's get ice cweam now Aka-Chan." Ranma said tugging on her arm, as she stood a bit puzzled.

"Oh. Right Ranma. Lets go then." Akane starts walking away with Ranma in tow. 'Ranma is like my son now, but he's still Ranma. I'd rather have his son then have him as mine.'
