pg 7
                               Akane:
                                Yes.
    (Pauses and looks over to where her and Ranma's fathers are
standing.  She smiles at them).
    Besides, you know how badly father's always wanted to have a son.
                              Kasumi:
                            That's true.
    (Kasumi and Nibiki embrace the transformed Akane, and go over to
stand by Ranma.  Akane dives once more into the pool).
                              Kasumi:
        I hope the two of you will be very happy, Ranma-chan.
                             Ranma:
               I-I had no idea she'd do this.
    Everyone is present as Akane dives into the same pool a second
time, changing into Akane-kun permanently, with Ranma helping him out
of the pool.
                             Ranma:
                     (whispering to Akane)
                  Who's the pervert now, Akane?
                             Akane:
                    (speechless, and ashamed)
                             Ranma:
 b             (Ranma nods).
         ever were, Ranma!
                        :
                            (blushing)
  We'lit for our honeymoon for you to prove that, dear!
                             Kasumi:
                What a fine looking little brother!
  (blushing as she realizes a possible interpretation of what she's
just said).
                             Nibiki:
 It looks like they may have to learn to make a few changes from the
way they've done things in the past.
                         Ranma and Akane:
                            (together)
                      Don't say the word CHANGE!
    (Then Ranma and Akane attempt to embrace each other, but find the
going somewhat awkward, since they are operating off of suddenly
obsolete reflexes.  Kasumi and Nibiki watch for a moment, look at each
other, then shake their heads and go over to the odd couple).
                              Nibiki:
                            (coaching)
    Okay, Akane, put your arms around... quit trying for the neck!
Just do as I say and put your arms around Ranma's waist.
                              Kasumi:
                           (also coaching)
  Now then, Ranma, you put your arms around Akane's neck.  Good!
    (Ranma and Akane, having achieved the correct fit, are paying no
attention to anyone but each other.  Kasumi and Nabiki step back a few
paces as the happy couple kiss each other).
                              Nibiki:
      I sure hope they catch on to the rest by themselves!
    (After watching a moment, Nibiki starts to sniffle.  Kasumi,
wiping her own eyes, comments on it).
                              Kasumi:
 Why, little sister, I never realized you were such a romantic.
                              Nabiki:
                      (who hasn't really heard)
  What are we going to do for excitement?  It's going to be so
(sniff, sniff)  WAAHHH!!!
    (The eahakes her head and rolls her eyes in
disbelief at this.  Ranma and Akane come up for air, completely
unaware of that particular exchange and gaze fondly at each other).
                              Ranma:
                       Akane, what you did...
                              Akane:
  ...was because I love you, Ranma-chan.  I would have done anything
to keep us together.
                              Ranma:
             ...for always.  I love you, too, Akane-kun.
    They travel to Tomobiki-stead of home, to attend Ranma's
couss Ataru and Lum (who mistake him
for Ranma) they are informed that Ataru's favorite cousin i a guy
any more.
   After the UY regulars are made aware of the couple's recent history
and current situation, Ranma and Akane are asked if they would like to
become part of the multi-couple wedding procession, and they quickly
agree to get married then as well.
    It is the evening before the Wedding Ceremony.  Akane and Ranma
are alone together, talking in Ranma's room in the Hotel near the
Mendo Chapel (Cathedral, actually):
                              Akane:
  Ranma, are you absolutely sure we should go through with this?
                              Ranma:
              Akane, are you doubting our love now?
                              Akane:
                               No.
                           (He sighs)
    I don't know Ranma, I'm just not sure of how I feel about anything
anymore.  It's all so confusing...so different from what I expected...
                              Ranma:
                    (Taking Akane in her arms):
   Of course, dear.  I know how you feel.  It was awfully confusing
and frightening for me at first as well, but I got used to enjoying
being a girl.  At least you're not constantly changing sexes the way I
did for so long.
