Distribution: If you want, feel free. Just put my name on it, tell me about it, and all will be well...

XOVER with Ranma ½ kinda. You don't need to know Ranma to enjoy. All you need to know is that Xander turns into a girl when splashed with cold water, and back into a boy when he's hit with warm water. And that there is more then one kind of curse...

And now:

"Wow, it sure is peaceful here..."

"Yeah, yeah...whatever Buffy..."

"Xander! Don't you have any romance to you at all?"

"Of course I do, light of my life and reason for my existence, oh great and beautiful diva I call Buffy..."

"Xander!"

"It's just...I want to get rid of this...thing, you know? It's not all that fun turning into a woman at the first touch of water, you know..."

"Well, there's the spring up there, guys..."

"Thank you, Willow..."

"For what?"

SIGH

"Nothing."

"Come on!"

"Coming, Wil..."

"Yeah..."

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP

"This is it!"

"Looks strange..."

"Aren't you excited, Willow..."

"It's not everyday that you get to investigate a sex-changing cursed spring..."

"Yeah, Giles told us about that. He said that there's this one spot in China where there's a whole buncha springs like this one."

"Wonder why only one showed up here in Sunnydale?"

"I don't really care. Can we just get the sample, test the magic, and go?"

"What's the rush, Xand?"

GRUNT

"Buffster...Wils...this thing cursed me less then a week ago. I'm not exactly all that happy with it."

"Well, fine then...I'll just get the sample."

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP

"Hey, Xander?"

"What?"

"Do you remember that tree being there the last time we were here?"

"Huh?"

"That one..."

PAUSE

"No, I don't. And come to think of it, there was something missing on that pond."

"What?"

"There was no sunken dock! Willow!"

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP

"Hey!"

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP

"Willow, be car-"

"Almost got it! Just one more-"

SPLASH

"Willow! Willow!"

"Xander, the pond is like four feet deep and Willow can swim. It's okay."

"No, that isn't my spring!"

"Yeah, so?"

"Well, then, it has to be another cursed spring!"

PAUSE

"How do you figure that?"

"Because Ms. Got-higher-SAT-scores then me, Willow led us back here by following the path of magic!"

"Oh."

"Yeah."

PAUSE

"So, what if it is cursed? Willow is ALREADY a girl."

"But-"

SPLASH, GASP

"Mrrrreow!"

"Oh dear."

"Meow meow meow meow mreow!"

"Oh my god..."

"Mreow!!!!"

PATTER, PATTER, PATTER, PURR

"Willow?"

"Meow..."

"Look, if you are Willow-"

"Meow meow meeeeow."

"'Meow' four times in a row..."

"Meow meow meow meow."

"Now twice."

"Meow meow."

"Oh dear..."

THUMP

"Buffy! Buffy, this is not helpful. Buffy! BUFFY!"

"Meow"

"Yeah, Wils, I know..."

"Mrrrr..."

"Let's get some hot water for you, okay?"

"Meow."

"And I'll give myself a hernia with our friendly neighborhood Slayer..."

"Meow MEOW meow..."

"She is to heavy!"

"I heard that!"

"Aw crap..."

"Meow meow meow, Xeow..."

"Oh shush up!"

The End…
