"TRIUMPH"

	This "alternate universe" story diverges when Ranma, a day after 
being cursed, suddenly thinks of asking about the Nannichuan, and gets 
himself and his father cured.  However, a lasting side effect of his 
experience is that he gains a strong empathy to women's feelings.  (Genma 
likewise has an empathy for pandas, but this has little use in the 
story.)   
	The pair arrives in Joketsuzoku, where Ranma realizes that 
Shampoo secretly loves Mousse and only rejects him because she thinks his 
eyesight is an infirmity.  He helps the two get together and recommends a 
good eye surgeon.  Cologne is so grateful for Ranma making her 
great-granddaughter happy that she teaches him all her secret martial 
arts techniques.
	Ranma is happily reunited with his mother, who is thrilled with 
how manly her son has become.  The family then travels to the Tendou 
Dojo, where Ranma is engaged to Akane.  Despite her initial anger at the 
arrangement, Ranma is soon able to show himself a respectful and kind 
fiance, and they fall in love.
	While at the Dojo, Ranma is able to diagnose the reason Nabiki is 
so money-hungry and help her overcome her isolation, as well as setting 
Kasumi up with Dr. Tofu.
	When Ryouga shows up, Ranma handily defeats him, and accidentally 
reveals the lost boy's pig form to Akane (Ryouga's cursing happened 
during the day Ranma was cursed, and he wasn't able to find his way back 
to get the cure.)  It takes some doing, but Ranma is finally able to 
restore his friendship with Ryouga, just in time to match him with Ukyou. 
	Many of the battles with foes take place, with Ranma handily 
winning them all.  (The defeat of Pantyhose Tarou while blindfolded with 
one arm tied behind his back is particularly spectacular.)
	Finally comes Ranma and Akane's wedding day, and they're just 
about to consummate--\
	When Ranma wakes up and finds out it's all been a dream.

SKJAM!
