The Race to the Springs

No one still to this day knows how it started, but they know that they'll never forget the outcome. After tossing the map to the side, those who drowned in Jusenkyo's accursed springs took off. Anyone who didn't see could've sworn it was a stampede, which it was to poor Akane.

Ranma had managed to get through the crowd and start running toward the spring.

Seeing this, Ryoga, Mousse and Shampoo followed adding on speed. Genma and the three girls followed barely missing the springs around them. Corey and Akane hung back at a normal person pace when they were walking. However, this race wasn't as easy as they thought.

"Ranma! I can see your underwear!" Mousse called. Stopping Ranma looked down at his pants to make sure they were indeed covering his underwear. The others ran forward as Ranma cursed to himself.

First, he thought, I'll take out Ryoga, he won't find the right spring for a while. Then I'll go for Mousse and pop. Then I'll get my spring.

"Hey Ryoga! Just between us buddies, the real spring is over there," Ranma said pointing toward a spot with very many springs. Ryoga, not realizing the trickery in Ranma's voice went the way he pointed while our favorite martial artist pulled a Mr. Burns.

"Its my spring!" Az called to her sisters narrowly missing a tree.

"No, its not!" Medy, Shampoo and Mika all yelled taking alternate routes. Next thing anyone knew, there was a boy, cat, panda and pig running toward a spring.

"Squee!" squealed Az.

"Mrow!" Shampoo meowed jumping on Mika's back and hanging on for dear life as the panda tried to run and pull the cat off her back.

"Bwahaha! I'll see you guys when I'm full girl again!"

"Pop! Quit wasting your time and just give up!" Ranma called to his father. Behind him, a duck was waddling around looking for what must've been the glasses in Ranma's hand. A splash of cold water hit Ranma and Genma as they stumbled a bit after their change into a female and a panda.

"Gah! That was hot!" Medy said after getting hit with the sought out hot water. The others around her nodded as they dodged a tree. Shampoo jumped and landed on Medy's back who stumbled, tripped and rolled into Az who fell and rolled into Mika, grabbing her leg and forcing the girl to fall.

"Squee!" Ryoga cried shaking a piggy fist at Ranma. He launched at Mousse starting a Duck-Pig fight. They were only about a yard away from the spring when...
