Moonlight and Cherry Blossoms
The story starts with Morisato Keiichi sitting alone in the Mens Dorm at Nekomi Tech. He has to sit there while the other guys are out and take messages for them. He realizes that he's hungry and decides to order takeout. He begins to make phone calls to restaurants but they are either closed or don't deliver that early. He dials numbers frantically and reaches the Goddess helpline. A voice tells him that she will be right there for a consultation. Keiichi tries to explain his errorbut as he's trying to get an answer he hears a voice behind him. Keiichi turns around to find himself face to face with Belldandy, who is coming out of the mirror. She introduces herself as a goddess, and tells Keiichi that she helps people in distress. Keiichi replies that he wasn't in distress he was only trying to order takeout. Belldandy explains that she can grant him one wish, Keiichi believes this to be a trick from his sempai, because he can't get a girlfriend. As if reading his thoughts Belldandy asks him why he doesn't have a girlfriend. Keiichi explains that he's short, but Belldandy doesn't understand. He then wishes for Belldandy to stay with him forever. In a giant flash Belldandy tells himt hat his wish has been approved and that she will stay with him.
Keiichi panics, because this is a Mens dorm, and women arn't allowed, but Belldand assures him that it will be alright because once a contract is made the Ultimate Force beings to work. Just then the men wholive in the dorm come home and find Keiichi with Belldandy, and they throw them out. The two of them set off to find a new place to live, but all of Keiichi's friends turn them away. Sitting in a park Keiichi asks Belldandy why she came to him, there have to be a lot of people who want their wishes fulfilled. Belldandy explains that not everyone can have their wishes fulfilled, they have to have certain qualifications and pass an assessment. He also asks if a contract can be broken, and if she would leave him. Belldandy asnwers that she doesn't know, but as long as he needs her she will stay. She then gets up and starts giving Keiichi directions on where to go. As they are speeding around a bend they almost collide with a car, Belldandy uses her powersto save them. With her last breath she gives Keiichi directions to a temple and passes out.
Keiichi carries Belldandy inside and covers her with a blanket and then passes out himse.f Belldandy wakes up and finds Keiichi laying on the floor next to her with a fever. She uses her powers to heal him and covers him with a blanket. She heads outside and uses her magic to return the temple to the way it once was. Keiichi wakes up and Belldandy lets him know that she has received permission for them to use the temple, and they head out to buy supplies. When they return Keiichi realizes that he won't get anymore money for a week, but Belldandy assures him that good news is coming. Belldandy goes to make tea, Keiichi rises to help her but he trips and falls ontop of her. There is a sudden knock on the door as Keiichi's sister Morisato Megumi walks in on them.
Megumi tells Keiichi that she will be attending school and needs a place to stay while she finds an apartment. She decides she will stay with them and gives Keiichi about $400 as living expenses. Then all the men from his dorm show up, including his sempai, Toraichi Tamiya, and his assistant, Otaki Aoyama. Tamiya roughs Keiichi up, chastising him for having 2 girls, but Keiichi explains that Megumi is his sister. Megumi tells them that she will be attending Nekomi Tech in the spring, and Aoyama decides to celebrate Keiichi's moving in and Megumi's attending college.
Midsummer Night's Dream
Its been 5 months since Belldandy showed up and everything is wonderful. Megumi comes over for dinner and asks Keiichi what he's doing for the summer vacation, she recommends that they take a trip to the ocean (even though Keiichi can't swim). Megumi also hands Keiichi a package that just came.
The three of them discuss the ocean and Belldandy mentions that she'd love to go. They clean up, Megumi heads home and Belldandy goes shopping. Keiichi opens his package and finds a risque video inside, believing it to be from Tamiya he watches it while everyone is out. As he is watching, pressed against the TV, a footcomes out of TV and kicks Keiichi across the room, Urd them emerges from the TV. Urd tells Keiichi that he needs to make a move on Belldandy. Urd leans in very close and is very flirtatious, this makes Keiichi very nervous. Just then Belldandy comes home and Urd makes her sudden departure telling Keiichi not to tell her younger sister that she was there.
Belldandy and Keiichi head to the ocean for a vacation, while sitting on the beach waiting for Belldandy to come, Keiichi feels hands cover his eyes and a voice say "guess whooo". He is petrified when he turns around to see Urd behind him. Urd gives him a bottle of sunscreen to use on Belldandy to make her all "mellow-mellow", again Urd disappears quickly before Belldandy knows she's around. Keiichi attempts to put the lotion on Belldandy when he is startled from behindby a girl, Mishima Sayoko. Aoshima reaches out and tries to take Belldandy on the boat with them away from Keiichi, but Keiichi reaches out to stop them worried about the "Ultimate Force", but nothing happens. They all walk away and Keiichi realizes that the lotion has all spilled into the sand.
Belldandy and Keiichi take a rowboat out into the ocean and Belldandy tells Keiichi that her older sister is in charge of System maintenance, and that when they return she will ask her about the malfunctions. Belldandy stands up to help row and a sudden wave tosses her off balence and she falls into Keiichi's lap. Just as they are about to kiss their rowboat is over turned by Sayoko's boat. Belldandy realizes that Keiichi didn't surface and dives down to rescue him.
Back at the hotel Belldandy remembers that Sayoko smacked her and blamed her for Keiichi almost drowning. Keiichi wakes up and asks Belldandy why she's crying. Belldandy is too afraid to ask Keiichi if he wants her to leave him and runs out of the room to get ice. Urd appears and tells Keiichi that Belldandy is crying because he doesn't have enough love for her. Urd then gives Keiichi a magic potion to "help" him with Belldandy, this potions turns out to make Keiichi fall in love with whomever he sees first.
After he drinks it there is a knock at the door, only it is Sayoko not Belldandy. Keiichi cannot control his actions he professes love for Sayoko, while in his mind trying to stop himself. Belldandy overhears him and is heart broken. Keiichi fighting against his actions screams clutching his head and runs out of the hotel, with Belldandy chasing after him. Belldandy stops him from running into the ocean, pleading with him that she will leave if he wishes. Keiichi still unable to control himself screams and passes out, dropping the vial that Urd gave him. Belldandy sees the vial and knows that its from her sister, Urd. Infuriated she calls for Urd to show herself. Sheepishly Urd appears, and Belldandy demands that Urd return Keiichi to normal. Urd refuses saying that he should stay that way for being so shy, Belldandy turns on Urd and attacks her. Urd then tells Belldandy that there isn't a cure, she didn't fore see him seeing someone else first. Belldandy begs Keiichi to come back to her and kisses him. The kiss breaks the spell that Urd put over him and he wakes up. Belldandy appologizes for her sister, and Keiichi once again reassures her that she is not a bother and they embrace. Urd tries to leave and is struck by lightening. There is a decree from the Lord that says because of Urds tampering with the system she is forbidden to return to Heaven. They realize this means the Urd is going to come and live with them.
