 " What wish?" Ranma asked, puzzled.
 " Where you wished for me to be your fiancee."

	Actually, there's a small problem with that... he didn't wish
for Belldandy as a fiancee, just to have a fiancee who was that
understanding.
	When Keiichi made the wish, Bell twisted it a little, due to
their past history, but there's no reason she should do the same for
Ranma... right?

  So would Belldandy arrange for a new fiancee to arrive, or would the
character os one of the existing ones be altered?  What if it was Shampoo
who became warm and understanding?  

I dunno. I think the only way Bell-chan can grant Ranma's wish is to
either become an understanding fiancee herself OR to find another woman,
because unlike Urd, she doesn't DO mind-control, so she can't just MAKE
one of Ranma's fiancees become warm and understanding.  It's not her
style.
