Soun Tendo receives a postcard from his long time friend Genma Saotome telling him that he and his son Ranma are coming to see him, much to Soun's delight. But little does Soun know Genma and Ranma have a big surprise in store for him and his family.

At the Tendo Household
Mr. Tendo receives a postcard from his long time friend Saotome telling him that he'll be bringing Ranma from China to see them. This news brings Mr. Tendo to tears, after he has finished crying he calls Kasumi and Nabiki.

Meanwhile a young girl is running along and shouts that she's home and changes from her jogging clothes into a [{Wikipedia:Judogi|Judogi]] and breaks some wood on some bricks into several pieces. Nabiki then appears and upon seeing the wreckage that had just be created she says it's no wonder that the boys think that Akane is weird. Akane responds by saying that not everybody thinks the world revolves around boys. This leads Nabiki to say that she won't be interested in what's happening and begins to walk off.

In the Family Room
Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi are all in the Family room as it is starting to rain. Soun begins to explain that one of them will become the Fiancée to the son of one of his closest friends. Soun also explains that the boy's name is Ranma Saotome and that by marrying him the Tendo family legacy would be secure and the training center can continue.

Akane is very shocked and angered by hearing this and demands why they don't have any say in this. Kasumi agrees with this saying that they've never actually met Ranma. Soun replies by saying that this is easily sorted and holds up a picture which he's had in his hand.

Meanwhile...
A young girl running in the rain is seen being chased by a very large Panda. The girl dodges the Panda's attacks and tells the Panda to cut it out while kicking it in the face, forcing the Panda to fly backwards. The Panda stands back up on it's hind legs, unharmed from the powerful kick, the sight of a Panda surprises the multiple people on the street witnessing the fight.

The Panda throws multiple punches at the girl, who in turn dodges everyone of them and grabs the Panda by one of it's paws and throws it over her head. As she does this the girl screams at the Panda saying that it sucks that he chose her a Fiancée without even asking her. With the Panda seeming out cold the girl tells the Panda to suck on that and that she is going back to China; she then turns around and begins to walk away. Behind her the Panda rises gets up again and picks up a road sign that had fallen over in the fight.
