"Welcome to legendary training ground, Jusenkyou!" The guide enthusiastically waved his arms to indicate the expansive valley full of natural springs, as if the troop of high-schoolers from Japan could have missed it. "Is more than one hundred springs here, and each one have own tragic legend. Follow me, and be careful of spring. Very dangerous if fall in."
It was the second day of the field trip to China, and the girl was not enjoying a moment of it. First of all, her best friend was sick and hadn't been able to come. Evidently the gods felt that didn't make her miserable enough, because since the trip began, several boys in her class had continually pestered her -- well, that wasn't fair. They were okay guys, as far as that went. It was just that most of them continually flirted with her -- errgh -- they could go jump in a spring for all she cared.
If they kept it up, it was only a matter of time before she started breaking people's bones. How much jail time would that get her? It might just be worth it.
The most annoying boy of all apparently realized she'd been alone for more than twenty seconds. He leapt up from behind her, singing, "Come to these arms, my love!"
"Get lost, you moron!" She spun to deliver a paralyzing slap to his face -- and her foot slipped in the mud and slid out from under her. Her arms flailed for a split second in an incredibly useless attempt at keeping her out of the spring below.
Hearing the splash, the horrified guide ran over, shouting, "Oh, honorable customer! You fall into Nannichuan, 'Spring of Drowned Boy'!"
The girl surfaced, gasping, and noticed that she was -- he -- he was a boy! "What -- I -- what -- how?!" he stammered, patting at his suddenly flat chest.
The guide reached down and helped him out of the pool. "Young boy fall into spring and drown 1700 years ago. Very tragic story. Now anyone who fall in spring take body of boy."
The boy was understandably shocked. "Are you serious? I've really been turned into a guy?"
"Yes, curse is permanent. Hot water return you to normal form, but cold water make you boy again. Very sorry."
Meanwhile, the boy who'd nearly been slapped a few moments ago decided this was an opportune moment to faint.
"I'm a guy. I'm really a guy. This... This is --" he leapt into the air enthusiastically -- "This is fantastic!!"
"Eh?" The guide was rather nonplussed. "You... happy to be cursed?"
"Are you kidding? Of course I am! I can't believe -- I gotta tell -- 'scuse me. Have you got a phone I can use?"
"Yes, is in my house. Feel free." The guide shook his head as the boy ran off. "Aiyah... I never see anyone so enthusiastic about curse before."
Inside the house, the girl-turned-boy (secretly boy-turned-girl-turned-boy) wielded his phone card and swiftly dialed. "... Hi, Miki? ... It's me, Megumi! I've got great news!"

Author's Note
Disclaimer: Ranma ½ belongs to Takahashi Rumiko, whereas Tenshi na Konamaiki belongs to Nishimori Hiroyuki. Although I could be wrong.
I was halfway through writing this spamfic when I suddenly thought of a much funnier way to do it. The original version involved Ranma and Megumi getting into an argument, and there wasn't really much of a punchline. This, though, I could see being turned into a full story. Megumi would most likely want to stay a boy all the time, despite the fact that everyone remembers him as a her.
Wait, don't leave yet! There's four more paragraphs to go after this line of dashes!

Omake
Two high-school girls with short black hair walked down the sidewalk, engaged in an animated conversation. There was nothing strange about it at all, provided you didn't get close enough to hear their words.
"I just hate listening to him complain. You know, Akane? It's like he thinks being a girl is inherently worse than being a boy."
"Believe me, I know exactly what you mean, Miki. And how about when he looks better in your clothes than you do?"
Their conversation faded away as the two founding members of the newly-formed "Friends of Boys-turned-Girls Society" walked on.
