Okay, I didn't write any thing in the prologue but I wanted to add 
something here.  This is my first fanfic so please _don't_ go easy on 
me.  Rip apart my horrible grammer, my dispicable spelling, and 
whatever you feel like doing.  Just don't flame me.  If the format 
looks kind of messed up, sorry.  I'm still trying to get this right.  
Please C&C. 

ThanX!

1/2 Factor
a X-Factor/Ranma   crossover
a S.P.A.M. production

	Part 1

	Consciousness was slow to returning to Jamie but when he began to 
wake up, all he noticed was that he was some place warm.
	�Man!  That was some dream.  When I tell Guido about this one, 
he's gonna _laugh_!' was his first coherent thought.
	Sitting up, he opened his eyes.
	�This isn't my room.  What's going on?'
	The covers slipped off his front.  He looked down intending to 
pick them up and saw the cause of his previous unconsciousness.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

	He touched his, no, her chest and immeadiatly blushed.  �This 
isn't happening to me.'
	The door slid open to reveal a beautiful young woman who seemed 
about a year younger than him.  Jamie's jaw dropped as she began to 
speak.  "Oh!  I see you're awake.  I'll get Akane.  She was very 
worried about you when she carried you in."
	"Ah . . .  thanks," was all Jamie could come out with.  His mind 
was racing with questions.  �Where am I?  Where's my body?  How did I 
get into this one?  How can I get back into mine?  Where's the rest of 
the team?  Who was that lady that grabbed me?  Who was that girl who 
just came in?  Where am I? Why am I. . .'
	"Kasumi was right.  You are awake!" said a short haired young 
woman brightly as she entered the room with a pigtailed boy following 
her.  "Are you all right?  You weren't in very good shape when I found 
you."
	"Um, miss, where am I?" asked Jamie.  �Her name is Kasumi!'
	" The Tendou dojo, in Nerima.  My name is Akane and this is 
Ranma."
	"Where's Nerima?"
	"Near Tokyo, of course," answered Akane.
	"How did I get to JAPAN!?!?!  This is not possible. I don't speak 

Japanese.  This HAS to be a dream!  How on this green earth did I get 
to Japan AS A GIRL!?!"  Akane and Ranma could tell the girl was almost 
hysterical.
	"Hold on, calm down," said Ranma.  "Tell us what happened and 
maybe we can help you."
	"Yeah . . .  what's the last thing you remember?" questioned 
Akane hoping that concentration on remembering would calm her down.
	"I was in Washington D.C. . . . ummm . . . working.  I had just . 

. . finished . . . a. . .  uh . . . project when a woman grabbed my 
arm, said �you'll do,' then we, like . . . lurched . . . and she 
dropped me in a pool 
of water.  I was barely getting up when she grabbed my coat and we . . 
. lurched . . . again.  Then I woke up here," whispering, "as a girl."
	"You mean you weren't a girl when this started?" asked Ranma.
	"Of course not!  I was as much of a guy as you!"
	"Did you get a good look at where she dropped you?" questioned 
Akane.
	"No.  The transporting messed my equilibrium up."
	"Did she say anything about where you were going?" came from 
Ranma.
	"Noooo . . .  wait.  She said something about �China' I think."
	Ranma looked at Akane and Akane looked at Ranma.  Both nodded.  
Then Ranma said, "Just a minute, um, what's your name by the way?"
	"Jamie."
	"Just a minute Jamie.  We'll be back," said Ranma as he and Akane 

left.  Outside the room he whispers, "Jusenkyo?"
	"Yeah . . . poor guy.  I'll go run _him_ a bath.  It'll calm him 
down and change him back," stated Akane.
	"Okay.  I'll go get him for it and explain the curse to him while 

he's in there."
	They separate, Akane going to the bathroom and Ranma to the 
kitchen.  He splashed himself with cold water and went back to the room 

Jamie was in.
	"Come on," directed Ranma, indicating for Jamie to get up.  
"Akane is fixing a bath for you.  Trust me.  It will make you feel _a 
lot_ better." 
	Jamie follows Ranma into the bathroom.  Ranma almost ran into 
Akane who was on her way out.
	"It's ready, Ranma.  Did you get Jamie any clean clothes?"
	"Gah!  No.  I'll go get them.  Thanks Akane."  Ranma paused, 
looking as if he were thinking quite hard.  "Okay.  Jamie.  Go in 
there, undress, and scrub yourself in the shower while I get the 
clothes."  Ranma left and we
nt upstairs.
	"Scrub myself in the shower?  I thought I was having a bath," 
mumbled Jamie.
	"You have to get clean before you get in the bath," explained 
Akane who was standing there.
	"Oh, okay.  Wait.  Wasn't Ranma the guy's name?"
	"Just go in there and clean up.  I assume he'll show you in a few 

minutes."
	Akane walked away.
	Shrugging, Jamie went into the bathroom and began to disrobe.  
She blushed as looked down at her body.  Mentally, Jamie admitted that 
this body was good looking.  It had curves in all the right places 
without being over burdened, rather slim and athletic.  Curious, she 
went to the mirror to see her face.  It was eerie. The eyes were the 
same and some of
 the features.  It looked like _his_ own face but more feminine.  The 
hair 
was the same style, the front falling over one eye, only redder, almost 
auburn.  Jamie just stared at the new body in the mirror for a few 
moments before snapping out of it.  Shaking her head, she went over to 
the shower 
and turned it on.  Lathering up, she washed her new body, barely 
noticing the cold spray.  Just as she finished the task, Ranma-chan 
walked in.
	"I see you're finished.  I'll put your clothes here while you get 

in the bath?"
	"Eeep!"  Jamie tried unsuccessfully to cover herself.
	"Oh!  Sorry!  I'll turn around �till you get in."
	Jamie quickly scooted over to the tub and climbed in.  She felt a 

shock as the hot water enveloped her.  Her chest flattened out.  Her 
shoulders widened.  Her body grew longer.  Certain . . . essential . . 
. body parts returned.  She was a he again.
	"Aaaaaaaaaaa!" was all that Jamie could articulate.
	"So . . . you're back to normal now!  Good!"
	"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"
	"Fells good to be back, huh?"  Ranma walked over to the bath with 

a bucket in her hand.
	"Aaaaa . . . could . . . um . . . you . . . uh . . . please not . 
. . um . . . come over here.  Uh . . . you're a girl and . . . um . . . 
 I'm . . . uh . . . well . . . naked," squeeked Jamie still in shock at 
his transf
ormation.
	"That's okay.  Just wait a second."  Ranma dipped the bucket into 

the water.  "Watch," she ordered as she tipped the bucked over her 
head. And she was a he.
	"Wuh . . . how . . . tha . . . " stuttered Jamie at the now male 
Ranma.
	"It's simple.  We have the same curse."
	"Curse?"
	"Yeah.  You fell into the Nyannichaun, Spring of Drowned Young 
Girl.  So did I.  When we get hit with cold water, we get turned into 
girls.  Hot water turns us back.  Whoever kidnapped you, dropped you 
into that spring and brought you here," explained Ranma.
	"No!  This is crazy!  This is a dream.  That's right . . . this 
is a dream.  This isn't real.  Nope nope nope.  Not real.  Not at all.  
I don't turn into a girl.  This is just some crazy dream that Guido and 
I will laugh

 at over breakfast tomorrow.  Not real.  Nope nope no . . . "
 <SLAP>
	"Ow!  That hurt!"
	"Ow!  That hurt!"
	"Wuh!"  Now it was Ranma's turn to be surprised for in the bath 
sat two identical Jamies each holding a cheek where he had been 
slapped.  The Jamies touched hands and there was one again.
	"Sorry about that, Ranma.  It's a reflex to being _hit_!"
	"Well you were freaking out.  Trust me.  This is not a dream.  I 
wish it were but it's not.  I live with it every day and now you have 
to too.  It isn't even the worst curse you could have gotten.  Now how 
were there just two of you!?!"
	Sighing, Jamie said, "I'm a mutant.  That's my power.  I can 
create duplicates of myself when I'm struck."
	"Bummer."
	"Yeah . . . sometimes.  But it can be fun too," smiling.  "It 
definitely gives a new definition of �double date.'"
	Returning the grin, "Just wait until guys start hitting on your 
cursed form."
	Jamie snorted.
	"I should probably get out of the bath now.  Thanks for the help 
and letting me borrow the clothes."
	"No problem man.  I'll give you some privacy now."
	After Ranma left, Jamie got out of the tub and dried off.  He 
went over to the clothes that had been set out for him.  They consisted 

of a red Chinese shirt and plain black pant, both similar to the ones 
Ranma had been wearing.  If Ranma was a good example, they would fit 
both of his forms all right.
	�This sucks.'

Washington, D.C. -the aftermath of a battle.  
	The MLF was being taken away to jail.  X-Factor was regrouping to 
return to base.  The team members were sore and tending to minor 
injuries.  Things were relatively calm until a loud shriek broke the 
air.
	"WHAT!" comes the distinctive voice of Valerie Cooper.
	"I saw Multiple Man abducted during the battle," responds 
Quicksilver calmly.
	"And why didn't you tell us until now!?!"
	"There was no chance to tell you until now."
	"Calm down Val," interjects Havok. "Now what happened Peitro?"
	"I was reentering the battle after they had defeated Tempo when a 

young woman, seeming in her teens, appeared next to Madrox.  She had 
long, black hair in a tight ponytail, pointed ears, and wore long, 
white robes.  She grabbed his arm, looked at him, and teleported away.  
The teleportation itself was accompanied by a flash of light."
	"Woah!  Jamie got kidnaped by a woman!  His luck must be turning 
around!" remarked Guido, interrupting the conversation. 
	"Aaaaaaaah!  Your not getting the point!  He could be anywhere by 

now!"
	"Calm down Val," said Polaris as she joined the conversation.  
"There's nothing we can do about that now."
	"Is there any way we can track him?" asks Wolfsbane, completing 
the group.
	"Hmmm . . . We can try tracking the com badge in his costume.  As 
long as it has power, it will transmit," answered Val.  "But we have to 

go back to the townhouse for that."
	"Then let's go," ordered Havok.  "Jamie could be in trouble."
