Shampoo is cooking some nikuman. She wants her great grandma to eat it,
but she refuses. Just then a delivery man comes in with ramen. Shampoo
gives the nikuman to the delivery man. After the man finished eating,
Shampoo's great grandma clapped her hands and told the man to go to sleep.
The man dozed off right away. Then after she woke him up, she clapped her
hands again and the man fell asleep again. It was due to a special
mushroom. Great grandma said that Shampoo should give it to Ranma.
Ranma was trying to buy food for his lunch. But they were sold out of his
favorite yakisoba pan. Then Shampoo appears and offers her nikuman for
Ranma's lunch. But Ranma doesn't like nikuman that much. Shampoo forces
Ranma to eat them anyways. Then Shampoo claps her hands and tells Ranma
to hug her. But Ranma doesn't. Just before Shampoo clapped her hands,
a cat nearby had sneezed. The cat sneezed again. This time, Ranma hugged
the cat and also screamed. Shampoo noticed that her clap doesn't work
so she gets some pepper to make herself sneeze. Then Ranma hugs her.
Akane was running around looking for Ranma. She heard Ranma's scream
and ran to him. But she saw Ranma hugging Shampoo. She just tells Ranma
that Kasumi told her that the family will be going out that night. Then
Akane leaves.
After school, Akane goes to the movies with her friends. But she is still
mad. After the movie, Akane runs but falls into a manhole.
Meanwhile, Shampoo tells Ranma about the nikuman and the special mushroom.
She tries to use the pepper again, but the wind carries it and the pepper
covers a crowd of people waiting for the bus. As the people sneezed, Ranma
hugged them.
Akane arrived at home with her clothes dirty and sneezing, just as Kasumi
was going out. Akane locked all the doors and windows. Akane was alone
at home watching TV. (The song program that Akane was watching had the
song "Little Date".) Then Akane heard some sounds coming from the kitchen.
She goes to investigate, armed with a baseball bat. She finds Ranma looking
for food. Akane tells Ranma that Kasumi had already cooked their dinner.
Ranma finds out that Akane has caught a cold. Ranma tells Akane to stay
away when she tells him that she is sneezing a lot. But, Akane sneezes and
Ranma jumps to hug Akane. Then Akane beats him up. Ranma says that it's
his body acting on its own, but Akane doesn't believe him.
Then Akane goes to the living room and Ranma goes to his room. Ranma hears
Akane coughing and gets his special medicine to give to Akane. After Akane
takes the medicine, she sneezes. Ranma hugs Akane, but Akane doesn't hit him.
Then Shampoo appears with some shuumai. Shampoo tries to give the shuumai to
Ranma, but Ranma doesn't want it. Akane sneezes again and Ranma hugs her.
This time Akane beats up Ranma. Then Ranma says, "I didn't hug you because
I like you." Akane gets mad and goes to her room.
Shampoo runs around trying to give the shuumai to Ranma. They run into
Akane's room. When Ranma doesn't eat it, Shampoo says she'll give it to
Akane. Then Ranma grabs Akane and tries to run away. Shampoo chases them.
When Ranma gets tired of running, he pretends like he is going to eat the
shuumai. He takes the shuumai away from Shampoo and throws one in her
mouth. Then Ranma snaps his finger and tells Shampoo to go home. Shampoo
happily goes home. Then Akane sneezes. She prepares for Ranma, but Ranma's
body doesn't do anything. Ranma's body had digested the special mushroom.
Later that night, the Tendo family comes home. They had brought nikuman
and shuumai home for Ranma and Akane, but they didn't feel like eating it.
