This is an idea I've been batting around for some time. I had several ideas, but this one finally won.

So—for those of you who are not familiar with Ranma ½ , I at least suggest you read vol. 1 to get familiar with the references in this story. And trust me, it's worth the side splits you'll get.

Read on!

One Half

"Wow, look Gaz! We're flying over the Himalayas! That's where the yetis live. And over there, that's the Great Wall! Some people say the bones of thousands of people are buried inside it. It sure is great. . ."

Gaz grunted in disgust. The only reason she was putting up with the Dib-babble was because they were both crammed into Tak's Spittle Runner The only reason Gaz was in such a situation was because she enjoyed Dib and Zim's lame attempts at destroying each other.

And that wasn't happening. "Hurry up and find Zim so we can go home. Bloaty's Pizza Hog closes in one hour and if we're not there before then. . . you will pay." She said all of this without looking up from her GS2.

Suddenly, the Voot Cruiser zoomed by , causing the runner to veer crazily. Zim came over the transmission screen, laughing diabolically. "It's over, DIB! You're too late! My most ingenious plan EVER has begun!" He turned to the side. "GIR! Release the squirrels. . ."

"Yes, m'lord!" the robot grunted off screen.

Dib watched in horror as ten million squirrels poured out of the Voot's cargo bay. He began to scream in defeat, then stopped. "Wait—what are a bunch of squirrels gonna do? And why China?"

Zim chuckled to himself. "Ah, Dib, Dib, Dib. So like you to not understand the beauty of this plan. I guess I'll just have to—"

A loud shriek from GIR cut him off. "SQUIRRELS!" He began pounding furiously on the controls, causing the Voot to spin wildly. Dib watched with amusement as Zim screamed his lungs (or whatever Irkens use to breath with) out. His amusement changed to horror as Zim's ship began to head directly toward his own.

Gaz calmly grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the doomed Dibship.

She landed and watched the explosion as the two ships collided, grunted indifferently, and returned to the GameSlave.

Two screams, starting out faintly, then increasing in volume each second were followed by two splashes, several yards apart.

Dib burst out of a nearby mini-lake (a spring, really) and spotted Gaz. He shook himself off and dashed over to her. "Gaz!" he splutterd, "this must be Jusenkyo! Crop Circles Magazine did an article on it last week!" He ceased talking to his sister and began talking to himself, typically. "Legend has it that the 10000 springs here are cursed! There's this one kid in Japan that turns into a girl because he was here! I bet Zim fell in one! I gotta see this!" He scampered off, the fact that he himself had just been in one never occurring to him.

Gaz only started, eyes and mouth wide in shock.

Nothing could have prepared her for THAT.

She didn't have a brother anymore, no.

She had a sister.

End of Chapter!

So, Dib fell into the beloved Nyannichuan: the Spring of Drowned Girl.

Question is, where did Zim fall in? Eh, it's short, I know. I broke my original first chapter in half, as I realized my chapters (especially in Parallel) have gotten really long. So, after chapter 2, they'll be about a normal length. I just can't stop the writing!

And if anyone thinks Dib being a girl makes room for ZaDr, they are going to be punished. Not sure how yet, but you will not like it.
