Astrild, Norse goddess of love makes a change not deemed creative enough.

It turns out that the last of Kasumi's unmarried friends from school has recently married and to a 16-year-old boy she'd been living with for over a year, prompting Kasumi to begin thinking about her future. As she listens to Ranma and Akane spar in the dojo she decides those two are too similar and wonders if she should taken on the engagement. She encourages Ranma to endure and outlast Akane's anger by not retaliating quickly and when Ranma goes to apologise he overhears Akane telling Nabiki Tendo that being engaged to him is her worst nightmare and that Nabiki should marry him if she thinks he is so cool. Ranma retreats and knocks over Kasumi in the process, the two holding each other in their arms and blushing till Ranma notices their fathers watching. At school Ranma has an encounter with Tatewaki Kuno in which he wins and ends up with some photos. Those of his female form he intends to burn, but he notices the anger in Akane in all the photos of her. He throws those photos back to Kuno saying they aren't his business and Nabiki wonders when the spark between Ranma and Akane was snuffed out.
