Ranma runs to the main tent where Moose had Akane tied up in a large
fishtank and was going to turn her into a duck. Just as Moose gives the
signal to open the faucet, Ranma runs in and kicks the faucet in a
different direction. Then as Ranma plugs up the water, Moose uses a
hose to shoot water on Ranma. Ranma dodges and Shampoo comes in riding
a tiger to help Ranma. Moose's water hits the tiger and the tiger turns
into a duck. Then Moose runs to Shampoo and asks if she hates him that
much. Shampoo says yes, she hates him. Then Moose gets very sad.
Everyone watching in the audience also starts crying. Then Ranma tells
Moose not to give up. He tells Moose to keep trying and to defeat anything
that is in his way. Then Moose regains his spirit and starts to beat up
Ranma, because Ranma is in the way between him and Shampoo. Then as Akane
breaks free of the rope, Shampoo tries to pour the spring water on her.
Shampoo says that she feels sorry for Moose and that she will introduce a
new girlfriend to him. Ranma saves Akane from the water, and then Moose
starts to shoot water on them with the hose. The water makes a direct hit
on Akane, and the force of the water sends Akane out of the tent.
Ranma goes looking for Akane and finds a little white duck. Ranma thinks
that Akane had turned into the duck. Ranma cries and says that he will
turn her back and takes the duck home with him. At home, Ranma sneaks
to the bathroom and puts the duck in the bathtub. But, it doesn't turn
back into Akane. It just stays a duck!
At the Chinese festival, Akane comes out from under some covers. The water
that hit Akane was not the spring water. Moose and Shampoo find Akane.
Akane dumps the last bucket of the spring water on Moose. After Akane
pours hot water on the duck, Shampoo tells Moose that she doesn't want him.
But Akane feels sorry for Moose and tells him not to give up and to fight
Ranma again.
At home, everyone is shocked that Akane has turned into a duck. But Akane's
father says that's ok, as long as Ranma takes the responsibility for it.
So, they prepare for Ranma and Akane's (the duck) wedding. Just as the
wedding is about to begin, Akane comes home. She hits Ranma.
Akane sets up a fight between Ranma and Moose. Shampoo says that if Moose
wins, she'll go out with him. Akane tells Ranma to lose on purpose so that
he doesn't have to marry Shampoo. As the fight begins, Shampoo gives Moose
as special weapon. It backfires on Moose. During the fight, Shampoo keeps
giving Moose weapons, but all of them backfire. Shampoo doesn't want Moose
to win. There is a final explosion and it looks like Moose had lost. But
he struggles to fight again. Ranma starts to feel sorry for Moose. He
then asks Moose if how he would feel if Ranma lost on purpose. Moose says
he would like it. He doesn't care how, as long as he can have Shampoo.
So they start to fight again. But Ranma wins again. Moose tries to get up,
but he passes out. Then Shampoo pours water on Moose and carries home the
limp duck, saying "Moose no baka."
The next day, at the Nekohanten restaurant, Shampoo had Moose (the duck)
tied up and is playing with it, actually teasing it.
