What if Keiichi fell in love with Kasumi. Ranma got stuck
with Belldandy ( I am not saying he wouldn't love her, just
a match made by a wish. ) Genma is trying to force Ranma to

him. I picture anvils falling from the sky, he hits Cologne
into spring of young girl and she is chasing him, you know,
fun stuff. ( I am a member of Genma Bashers of America,

Soun is trying to force Keiichi to leave his daughter alone,
so she is free to marry Ranma. Ranma must marry Bell to
fulfill the wish. The ultimate force is going to see to it
that happens.
I don't know... I have difficulties seeing Belldandy and Keiichi paired
off with anyone but each other. Especially after watching the movie. In
all AMG stories I have seen, their romantic situation is either a
non-issue (something long resolved and not central to the current story),
and, even when it isn't, it's clear that they're meant to be with each
other, with or without an Ultimate Force.
I'm not saying this is something that should not be done, just that it's
a story I wouldn't be very interested in. I don't know how many people
share my opinion, but don't let this stop you :).
Wish is something like:
I wish I would have a long and happy life and be the best at
Martial Arts of Anyone, Anywhere, Anywhen and marry someone
who would love me and be a wonderful wife and would provide
me with all the delicious food we can eat and never leave
me, like my mom did.
Thus covering Ranma's main points of interest, martial
arts, food, love, prevent loneliness and have someone who
loves him
This wish is no fun at all, precisely because it covers all the bases. I
get the impression an AMG wish is something that comes from the heart of
the person, and so is fairly simple and short. It would have to be
something spoken at the spur of the moment, and the wishmaker wouldn't
even need to be aware of it. Someone like Ranma would have to spend at
least a month coming up with an "essay" like the one above.
If your story is deviating at the very beginning of the Ranma storyline,
the only thing he'd really be wishing is to be the greatest martial
artist ever, or, perhaps, to get rid of the stupid engagement his father
has gotten him into (not both - that'd be _two_ wishes). If he wished to
be rid of the engagement, much mayhem would ensue but it would still
turn out all right at the end, since this is a wish granted by the
forces of good.
