You know the story.
	Ranma and his father fell into cursed springs.
	Furious over his loss of manhood Ranma chased his father around the springs.
	This is where it starts to deviate.
	In this universe a rock the size of your fist was positioned just a little
more to the left than in the universe we’re used to.
	Ranma tripped over this rock and went screaming head first into another

pool.

	He emerged male again. Realizing his son was cured Genma prepared to
cannonball into the spring with him. Unfortunately he collided with Ranma’s
fist and
entered LEO.
	Ranma climbed out of the spring and wandered off to find the guide.
	Had he waited around a few more minutes he would have seen a red headed girl
emerge sputtering and coughing from the pool
	“What the hell happened to my clothes?”
	The girl looked around.
	“Pop?”
	She called again, louder. “POP!”
	The girl decided to find the guide, and her clothes.
	She turned around, tripped over the same rock, rolled down the hillside,
hit her
head rather soundly against a tree, and lost consciousness.
	It grew cold that night.

This was cool.  Let me add my version:

    You know the story.
    Ranma and his father fell into cursed springs.
    Furious over his loss of manhood Ranma chased his father around the
springs.
    This is where it starts to deviate.
    In this universe a rock the size of your fist was positioned just a
little more to the *right* than in the universe we’re used to.
    Ranma chased Genma around for awhile.
    Genma tripped over the rock and fell into a spring.
    He emerged looking exactly like the female Ranma.  Realizing what had
happened, he began to chase Ranma around for awhile.
    They both accidentally tripped over the same rock and fell into a
different spring.  They both emerged male, jumping for joy.  They wandered
out, looking for the Guide.
    Had they waitied a few minutes longer, they would have seen two
identical looking red-headed girls emerge, coughing and sputtering, from
the pool.
    "What the hell happened to my clothes?"  The second one snarled,
looking down at herself with a great deal of disgust.
    "Pop?  'zat you?"
    The second girl looked at the first one distastefully.  "I do not have
a daughter, as I recall," she growled icily.
    "And I haven't seen my mother in over ten years," the other girl
responded dryly, "and I imagine she's just a bit older than me."
    "Sirs!"
    The quarreling girls looked up to see the Guide running frantically
toward them, waving his hands.  "You exit pools, now, sirs!  Is very bad
place to..."
    They both looked at him, puzzled.  "Hunh?"
    The Guide slapped his hand to his forehead.  "Too late."
    Evil chuckle.
    The two red-headed girls turned their heads around slowly, wondering
nervously what in the world had just chuckled.  
    "If stay in Spring of Drowned Twins pool for too long," the Guide
explained, shaking his head sadly, "the Spring make a demon to get you out.
 It don't want you there, sirs."
    Two really nasty looking demons stared both girls straight in the eyes.
    "Or two demons," the Guide corrected himself clinically.
    Evil chuckle.
    "Pop?"
    "What is it, Ranma?"
    "Let's finish our argument later."
    Genma-chan nodded sagely.  "A wise idea, indeed, my boy.  Girl.
Whatever."
    "Now what do you say we run like hell?"
    "Yet another wise idea."
    They both ran like hell.
    The demons looked at each other confusedly.  One of them ventured:  "Hey."
    The other one looked at him.  "What?"
    "We aren't girls anymore, pop."
    "We're demons, instead.  Neither's particularly wonderful."
    "Aren't demons like really, really powerful, though, pop?"
    Genma-demon grinned maliciously.  "You bet."
    They both went on a power trip, blowing up cliffs, forests, and small
countries like Russia in the process.  They also hit a cliff so that a
certain fanged young man flew out from it and landed in a different pool
than the one that the fates had originally laid out for him.
    Moments later, a fanged, (and of course supermodel looking - "Is side
effect of Nyanniichuan...") red-headed girl emerged from the spring.
"SAOTOME!"  She screamed, shaking her fist at the heavens.  "REVENGE WILL
BE MINE!"
    Both Saotome-demons hovered over him, grinning nastily.  "What did you
just say?"
    "I've just become a girl, and now I see demons flying around," she
remarked nonchalantly, managing to clamber out of the spring.  "My mind can
handle this.  Really."
    It couldn't.  She fainted in a heap.

    The traveler's brown eyes flickered slightly, thoughtfully, as he
seemed to be lost in memories.  He coughed slightly as another dusty gust
of wind whipped around him, blowing his cape around slightly, but with no
dramatic swirl - just another dead movement in a dead land.  His horse
seemed in better shape than he was, a fact emphasized by coughs that racked
his body periodically.  It was doubtful if brown was the horse's natural
color; rather, probably just an effect of traversing these barren plains
for too long.  The traveler coughed spasmodically, as he was roughly jerked
back into the present.  His brown eyes looked around hopelessly, looking
for some sign of life.  None.  He sighed and lapsed back into the recesses
of his mind, recalling events - perhaps even the events that had led him to
try to travel these seemingly endless plains.
