At the Tendou-ke, Masato received a mixed welcome. Kasumi Tendo thought he was so cute and immediately went about making cookies. Nabiki Tendo was worried about how much the little brat was going to cost, but melted under the boys charms. She may have been the Ice Mercenary of Furinkan High, but Cute-Boy-Puppy-Look is a lethal weapon.
Souun Tendo was proud of his daughter, proud enough that he nearly had to be treated for dehydration. Genma thought it was another excuse to marry Ranma and Akane, and ensure his retirement. Nodoka thought it be a learning experience for the future, then went off talking about grand babies.
Kasumi's Kitchen.
"uh... Kasumi-neechan" says Masato timidly, "I want to thank you and the family. I learned how to make fish dishes... after I lose my parents. I was wondering if I could... I could...?"
"Yes, Masato-kun"
"I was wondering if I could make something?"
"That would be wonderful. Do you need any help."
"I'll be find."
As Kasumi turns to her soup pot, Masato opens one of his bags, revealing two sealed plastic bags. One bag is filled with cubes of a strange fish. The other is filled with peppered red-brown powder. Masato secretly reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny vile. A devilish smirk forms on the boy's angel-like face.

The Tendos and the Saotomes sit around the table. Masato places a few pieces of brown spiced sushi in front of each person and little containers of dipping sause.
"Everybody please enjoy" Misato says brightly.
The two families begin to eat as one. Ranma-chan, still female to hide his curse, and Genma show proper manners. It's amazing what a stern Kasumi and Nodoka with a katana can do. They all compliment on the food and keep asking what kind of fish is it. Finally, after several minutes, Misato answers,
"Mermaid."
The group of seven begin to react then collapse into unconsciousness. Pampered Nabiki is the first to fall, while Ranma is the last to succumb.
Misato pulls out his tiny vile of blue liquid.
"The Sedative in the mix will keep them quiet. Those that die will die in there sleep. Those who become Lost will remain asleep for many hours. The one that becomes like me, will become my new mother."
Misato pops the cork.
"This will make sure she's always my mother."
