Summary	Nancy is thinking about what she will look like when she gets older. She imagines her same face on an adult body, which looks ridiculous. She's upset by that and asks Sluggo if he will still marry her since she'll be ugly. He tells her she will look like her Aunt Fritzi, who is very pretty. Nancy visualizes her, now looking like Fritzi, and a grown Sluggo, who now looks like a child's head on an adult body. Now, she tells Sluggo she might not accept him.
