Following this wish, the two couples have their places switched, 

with

Ranma and Akane in their 40's and "happily married", and Genma and 

Nodoka

in their teens and "engaged." It would be sorta funny to see how 

they deal

with their situations, although the saotome's mirrage seems about as
functional as Ranma and Akane's engagement...

I can see this as being funny. but I can't see it as being 

deliberate.

How about a spell that turns Soun, Genma and Nodoka into pre teens, 

but

leaves Ranma and Akane the same. They have to cope with their 

suddenly

imature parents. Not that Genma was ever that mature.

One very funny bit, would be if Soun was the same apparent age as the
imature Miss Hinako.

Hmm.... Actually, it might be fun if by some accident, probably caused 

by

Happosai, Soun, Genma, and Nodoka were changed to teens, weather or not
Ranma and Akane become old. What if they were forced to attend high 

school

with their children until the effects wore off? It'd be a good way to 

help

the characters shine a bit, as poor Genma would probably have to fend 

off

potential suitors of his 'wife.' And of course the Saotome-Tendo duo 

would

have to come under the eye of the school diciplanarian some time. I 

wonder

what Soun and Genma would have acted like at Ranma and Akane's age...

Of course, as with all the age-regression stories, a lot would depend on 
whether or not they retained their memories.  The thought of Soun, 
Genma, Hodaka and *shudder* Happossai running around with teenage 
hormones, but their ``adult'' abilities and experience is an intriguing 
one....
