==Description==
==Plot==
Akane Tendo is playing volleyball with the girls in the Furinkan High School gym while Ranma Saotome practises throws with the boys. Here and in class they trade insults, while online they chat without knowing who they are talking to. The next day Ranma insults her after Tatewaki Kuno attempts to date her again, but confesses online to liking the girl he insulted. Akane challenges him to ask the girl out and Ranma responds in kind, stating that it is the 90s and girls can ask guys out. While Ranma tries to re-establish a relationship with his mother, afraid that he was sent away with his father for ten years for being a naughty child, Akane seeks out her sister Nabiki Tendo for advice on how to ask a boy out.
Despite their previous issues, Ranma and Akane managed to ask each other out at school the next day. They go on the date which they both confess online to enjoying. However, the next morning at school Kuno interferes once more which leads to a row between Ranma and Akane. While they vow to have nothing to do with each other as a result of the row, online they convince each other to try again and try and understand where the other is coming from. They slip each other notes apologising for their behaviour and asking for another chance. They make up and enjoy a period of several weeks dating.
Then just before the end of the school year Akane's father makes the announcement that his friend is bringing his son with him the next day at that one of his daughters is to become engaged to him. Ranma receives the same information from his parents. The next morning Kasumi Tendo passes on some advice to her youngest sister about how to deal with the possible engagement. The two chat online where they wonder if they are possibly engaged to each other, given the coincidence, and fret about how their respective partners would deal with the engagement should it happen. To test out the theory that they may be engaged to each other they agree to wear a red shirt and skirt to the engagement meeting. Ranma adds that he'll bring a white rose to give to her if he sees her wearing the red dress.
The meeting takes place and Ranma hands Akane the white rose. The following Monday morning they meet at school and confirm their online handles and agree to let their fathers think that they have done a good job of picking their spouses for them.
