All dressed up to go out on a Sunday

Sky is blue, sun is bright, it's a date day

Not gonna say it, can't make me say it

No way gonna let you have your way.

Even though I don't want you to hate me

When you say "It's okay" and look at me

The love don't phase me it's the word that's crazy

It's something that I gotta work on.

You know here's how it goes, you and me we'd meet on the street

and then

I'd say "Outta my way!" I don't know how you can confuse me so

But hey, maybe today with the waves so blue I can be true with you

Who knows? Maybe I'll say the word love...

Gonna kiss you now, hold you now, this is love we've found

Even if it's just in my dreams

Come on hold me now, real tight now, let me show you how

Fine I say, have your way, I love you

Come on kiss me now, no words now, it's just us for now

Even I don't know why I love you

Gonna hold you now, all right now, it don't matter how

Don't you see it's just me, I need you

Come on hold me now, real tight now, let me show you how

Fine I say, have your way, I love you

After the Ranma ½ logo sequence, Akane Tendo is shown on a sunny day wearing a white summer dress and hat. As she is showing falling through water, breath bubbles released from her mouth display Soun Tendo and Genma Saotome in his panda form, Shampoo and Mousse, Kasumi, Ukyo Kuonji and Ryoga Hibiki, Nabiki, child Hinako Ninomiya and Happosai, and Tatewaki and Kodachi Kuno. Shown from the side, when Akane opens her eyes, she sees Ranma Saotome in his female form as a mirror image. Both are then inverted and walk towards each other.

Akane then realizes that male Ranma is standing behind her and they are shown to be by a river. As Akane smiles and stands up, the wind blows her hat away. Ranma then offers her a flower which she accepts and her eyes dance. However he then notices that they have an audience. Shampoo, Ukyo, Ryoga, Kodachi, and Kuno are mad, while Mousse is puzzled and Genma and Soun are cheering him on. Ranma tries to back away and dodges thrown spatulas and Kodachi's ribbon, but a chúi hits him in the head and he falls into the river. After the title appears again, a painting of an embarrassed Ranma sitting in the river and Akane laughing at her are shown before Akane's hat is revealed to have landed in the river.
