When Ranma was Two

A Funny Thing Happened at Jusenkyo
In China:
A sombre valley filled with pools.
A bamboo pole stands stoically in each pool.
A panda knocks a teenaged boy/man into one of the pools.
>From the pool, a confused shout. "What the hell happened to my clothes?"
"Who are you?" asked the other (clothed) resident of the pool.
"Oh, sirs. You fall in spring of drowned twin. Very tragic story of
twins who fall into pool many year ago and drown. Now, whoever fall into
pool take form of twins," said the Guide.
The Ranma on the left (Blue shirt) looked at the other Ranma (Red
shirt), who looked at the panda, then nodded to Blue shirt. "If we could
have a kettle of hot water?" lefty said.
Kasumi nodded, and went to prepare the water.
Red shirt began, "Well, it happened when we were in China. The
ole' man wanted ta go to the legendary training grounds of Jusenkyo...."
Someone please, please do something with this! "The classic Silver Age
story of Ranma-Red and Ranma-Blue, brought to you today!" (Just as long
as they don't turn into electricity. DC comic readers know what I'm
talking about.)
As far as I'm aware, double male Ranmas is virgin territory for fanfic.
Who says all the good ideas have been used? This could be a truely
great fic. Sometimes being two people and sometimes being one arguably
has _much_ greater potential than a simple gender change.
Come on, somebody pick this up. (please-please)
