	Please excuse this strange idea, and if anyone has already done it, please

	Oh, and there is a bit taken straight from the Viz translation of the manga.
@bops for all who tell me the Chinese names for the two new springs.
Otherwise, C&C wanted, flames will be C&Ced.  Encouragement to continue/offers
to take this idea from me won't be minded.

One Fine Spring
This bit by Ryo Hoshi

	She looked at her 'sister.'
	She had always been the cuter of the two.  Her hair was spiky and untamable,
her eyes deep dark pools, and her tail...was a tail.  There wasn't much else
one could say about it, other then, perhaps, that it was unwise to say the
least to let her see the full moon.
	"Well?" she asked, hopping up onto one of the poles.  "Are we gonna train or
not?"
	"Of course we're going to train!  If we don't..."  She leaped onto the poles,
with only a little less grace and ease then her sister, and they started
sparring.
	Unbeknownst to them both, they were being watched by one of those annoying
villains that turns up usually only in bad fanfic.  He had decided to make his
way into this fanfic, however, and he was very good at 'persuading' the
authoress to let him into the fic.
	Midway into the fight, he stepped out into the open and raised his power.
	900,000...1,000,000...
	The authoress stepped in and informed him politely that she was not gonna let
him have more power, he already had enough power to make thins like using a
fully powered Kamehameha to rid the universe of a mayfly.  He sighed, and
attacked.
	Of course, the two sparring over the cursed pools didn't notice.
	He aimed a ki-blast at the human girl's back, and let it fly.
	The girl's sister saw the blast coming, however, and knocked her 'sister'
away from all the pools and took the blast herself.
	She fell, not quite dead yet, into the springs.
	The villain hovered above the spring, watching as the last few bubbles
floated up.
	The authoress decided that this was her chance.  Grabbing a pencil, she
knocked the villain into one of the springs and held him down until she was
sure he was quite dead.
	The girl, who had seen everything, stood up and rubbed her head.  "I must
have hit my head harder then I had thought," she muttered, and fell gracefully
to the ground, and lay there, face down, for a while.

*** 1,500 years later

	Ranma surfaced from the pool and shook her head, hard.
 	"Ohhhh!  Not Spring of Drowned Alien Girl!" the guide cried.  "There is
tragic legend, *very* tragic, of young alien girl who drown in spring...one
thousand five hundred year ago!  Now whoever fall in that spring...take body
of young alien girl."
	Ranma looked down at his -- no, her -- breasts.
	"You see what I mean?"
	Ranma tried to climb out of the spring, but something felt wrong...she was
off-balance for a few seconds, but her years of training let her adjust in
seconds.  But still, she wanted to know what caused her to be off-balance.
She looked behind her.
	She had a tail.
	Elsewhere, an old man with worse eyesight the Mousse, who had asked Ryoga for
directions, walked off a cliff and fell into the Spring of Drowned Bad Fanfic
Supervillain.

	Alright, if you insist on me telling you why Ranma's new cursed form is a
Saiyajin, it's because instead of the girl drowning, her 'sister' -- a
Saiyajin sent here long before Goku -- drowned.
	The story will definitely have some differences from the manga -- for one,
not only is Ranma's cursed form faster then is normal form, it's also
stronger.  And also more powerful.
	Oh, and sorry about the pun in the title.
