132A/N: Yes, another new story from me... But it's a case of starting a new story to help me cope. My mom was diagnosed with cancer yesterday, so I'm in pretty bad place. Sometimes starting a new story helps. I'm working mainly on this, but I will try to work on my Christmas Story... hopefully I'll be able to get the four chapters done by Christmas Eve.
Anyways this came about since there are no Ranma/Gravity Falls stories, you would think there would be one involving a version of Jusenkyo in Gravity Falls. Well there is now. I will have a bit of a Ranma vibe (expect love triangles involving Dipper...) but the humor and action will first and foremost. Also I will bring in some Ranma characters, they will mostly be off screen, but one will have a major role on camera and I'm planning for one of them know someone from the Mystery Shack... I won't say who, but it will be fun and it will make a ridiculous amount of sense. Anyways enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls or Ranma 1/2... I'd make a silly remark but I'm not in the mood right now... I don't think I need to say why.
Gravity Springs
By Emma Iveli
Chapter 1: Chinese Wizards Are Cray-Cray
Dipper and Mabel Pines were walking through the forest in Gravity Falls. Their Parents had decided to send them up to the small town of Gravity Falls. They were staying with their Great Uncle Stan for the summer and it was peaceful.
Wait that a lie, really the day before they were attacked by a bunch of gnomes. They decided to explore and look around the woods.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" asked Dipper.
"We already know how to beat those gnomes! What's the worst that could happen?" asked Mabel.
That was when they came across a bunch of strange pools of water. Strangely all of them had bamboo growing out of them.
"Whoa this is strange." Said Dipper.
"Oh yeah, it is…" said Mabel, "Want to go swimming?"
"I don't think we should." Said Dipper.
"Is it because of the bamboo?" asked Mabel.
"No, there's just something unnatural about this place." Said Dipper.
He took out a journal he found in the forest a few days before. IT had just about everything strange about the town. He read through it but as he did, he saw that Mabel was undressing.
"Mabel!" said Dipper.
"It's okay! I have my bathing suit!" said Mabel.
"Yo brought your bathing suit?" asked Dipper.
"Yeah, I figure I would need it." Said Mabel with a shrug.
She called out "Cannon Ball!" and drove into one of the pools.
He managed to avoid the water caused by Mabel's splash.
"Oh god damn it!" yelled a voice, "Hey you kid! Get away from there!"
Dipper sharply turned around and saw a middle aged guy yelling at him.
However he also lost his footing and fell into a completely different pool that Mabel jumped in. He thankfully managed to throw the journal to dry land so it would get wet.
As Dipper fell in started to feel strange. He resurfaced, it felt like there was something under clothes.
"What's under my shirt?" said Dipper.
He covered his mouth, his voice was higher pitched. He looked under clothes.
"Leaves? Why are there leaves?" he asked.
That was noticed his hair was a lot longer.
He looked at himself in the reflection of the pool, staring back was a girl that looked almost identical to Mabel, expect of the orange nose, and some bags under the eyes. Also her eyes turned from brown to green.
That was when suddenly a small unicorn surfaced from the pool Mabel dove. The unicorn had a light purple coat on and a mane of purple, orange and green. On it's flank.
"Oh man! I am phreaking out right now!" screamed the unicorn.
It seemed like to be a form of telepathy with its horn glowing as it spoke. Not only that but its voice was Mabel's.
"And why is there another me!" screamed the unicorn that was indeed Mabel.
"Mabel, is that you?" asked Dipper.
"Dipper? Why are you a girl?" asked Mabel.
"I could say that same thing about why you're a unicorn…" said Dipper.
"Two of them! SON OF A BITCH! I'm bad at my job!" yelled the man.
He looked at Mabel, "You're a kid too aren't you! Damn it! I really suck at my job!" yelled the man.
"Can you please not swear…" muttered Mabel.
"What did you do to us?" asked Dipper.
"I didn't do anything… I'll explain at my house over there." Said the man.
He pointed to a small cottage nearby.
The two looked at each other and knew it might be better to follow him.
Dipper picked up the Journal and Mabel's discard clothes just in case they were turned back.
They went inside which was a simple lay.
"All right! This place is called American Jusenkyo." Said the man.
"American?" asked Dipper.
"Is there other places like this?" asked Mabel.
"Just one, in China… I heard there used to be another singular spring in Japan, but that got closed years ago, heard they built a school over it or something." Said the man, "Any was the land was cursed. Long ago a crazy and evil Chinese wizard came to this land and thought "You know what! These people live in too much peace! I'll make my own Jusenkyo! With Back Jack and Hookers!"
"Did he really say that?" asked Mabel.
"No, but I'm pissed off right now so excuse me for making the story fun…" muttered the man, "Anyways the crazy and evil Chinese wizard cursed the land with many springs. He made so that when something drowns in it will turn anyone else who falls into the spring into whatever drowned there…"
"You're kidding, right?" asked Dipper.
"No you turned into a Dryad and a unicorn thanks to the power of magic and friendship!" said the man, "What do you think happened to you? How the hell are skeptical right now? Really? Neither one of you are human right now!"
"Wait? Dryad?" asked Dipper.
"Didn't you notice the leaves, you turned into a type of Nymph." Said the man, "You fell into Spring of Drowned Dryad. And the girl fell into Spring of Drowned Unicorn."
"Is there a way to change back?" asked Dipper.
"I have good news, bad news and even worst news." Said the man, "The good news is that you can change back! Just get wet with hot water!"
"Really?" asked Dipper.
The man had a teakettle on and poured it on Dipper.
"Use the bathroom!" he told Mabel, "I'm not getting in trouble because I saw a naked little girl."
"I don't have any hands." Pointed out Mabel.
"You help her, you have you get used to the woman's body body." Said the man.
"What? But I thought that we were cured." Said Dipper.
"Hey! I just told you the good news, not the bad news yet." Said the man.
"What's the bad news?" asked Dipper.
"The bad news you turn back with cold water!" said the man, "You get splashed cold water hello unicorn and dryad, warm water back to human!"
"You're kidding right?" asked Dipper.
The man grabbed a cup of cold water and poured on Dipper's head turning him back into a Dryad.
"Now do you believe me! Go use the bathroom and I'll tell you the worse news." Said the man.
'You could be a little nicer." Said Mabel.
"Oh forgive me not being nice in the world's worst job!" said the man, "And that's right! I get paid to prevent and explain to people about this place! The only thing good about it is I get a free house so excuse me for not being nice!"
The tow went into the bathroom and found that the floor has a drain in and a showerhead near it.
They noticed the water control was far away from the showerhead and Dipper realized it was so whoever was control it wouldn't get wet.
Mabel walked over to the showerhead and Dipper closed her eyes while he turned it on.
Mabel grabbed her clothes and put them on quickly. However there was a small problem.
"What's wrong?" asked Dipper.
"It's nothing, we just have to go back to the mystery shack as soon as possible." Said Mabel.
"Um… okay…" said Dipper.
"Do you want to change back?" asked Mabel.
"I'll just use the tea settle again." Sid Dipper with a shear.
They both went back to the living room. The man sighed and handed Dipper the teak kettle again so he could change back.
"Okay and now for the worst news… there's no percent cure on this continent…" said the man, "At least for humans."
"What!" yelled Dipper and Mabel.
"Yeah, the wizard also put a spell to prevent humans from going to into blank springs." Said the man.
"So there's no cure at all?" asked Dipper.
"Go to China where the original Jusenkyo, but no here." Said the man.
Both of them were shocked.
"Look, just learn to deal with them…" said the man.
"I don't mind!" said Mabel.
"What?" asked Dipper.
"I turn into a unicorn!" said Mabel, "Do you know how awesome that is."
"Mabel!" said Dipper.
"You're just embarrassed you turn into a girl." Said Mabel.
"Yeah, both of you got lucky there's quite a few normal animals in the springs. You still have human level indigence, but you can't talk at all. At you can have a form of telepathy and you at least look human." Said the man, "Look on the positives…"
"See you can be nice!" said Mabel.
"I've seen a kid turn into a normal skunk… a unicorn and a dryad are blessings compared to that." Said the man.
Both of them couldn't argue with that.
"Can you please now, I explained everything! And good luck with whatever life you're going to able and I really wish you luck if you can ever get to china. Hey at least it's not the cold war… so there's that." Said the man.
Both of them left.
On the way back to the Mystery Shack.
"How are we going to explain this to anyone?" asked Dipper.
"I don't know." Sighed Mabel, "Maybe we can keep it a secret."
"Maybe." Said Dipper.
Mabel began to think.
"You know… we should come up with alias." said Mabel.
"What?" asked Dipper.
"It would be weird if a girl went by Dipper." Said Mabel, "Hey what was the other name of the big dipper again?"
"You mean the constellation it's part of… Ursa Major?" asked Dipper .
"I'll call you Ursa when you're a girl." Said Mabel.
"Not going to happen." Said Dipper.
"And I'll go by May Belle as a unicorn, I don't know why but it sounds right." Said Mabel.
Dipper sighed.
Both of them got to the Mystery Shack, where Stan was arguing with Wendy, the Mystery Shack's clerk, about a bucket of water.
"Why me?" asked Wendy who was a teen girl with long red hair.
"Look, you know Soos can't do it." Said Stan.
Wendy blinked and stared at him, "Are you playing fair? Because that's just weird."
Both of them didn't notice the twins walking in.
"What are you arguing about?" asked Dipper.
"Nothing…" said Stan.
"Fine I'll dump it out." Said Wendy.
She grabbed the bucket.
"So how was your day." Said Stan.
"Fine"! said Mabel, "Didn't get cursed at all!"
Stan looked at them.
"What?" he asked.
That was when Wendy tripped on a floorboard, the contents of the bucket went flying and hit the twins, soaking them both.
Wendy got up and stared at the twins, Stan stared at them and then face palmed.
"Jusenkyo?" asked Stan.
"Yeah…" sighed the newly dubbed Ursa.
"The bet's off!" said Wendy.
"Bet's off." Confirmed Stan, then yelled out, "Soos get in here!"
"What's going on?" asked May Belle.
Stan walked over to the window and flipped off the closed sign.
"Look I'll explain when Soos gets in here, but I think it's probably for the best if you stay here longer than summer." Said Stan.
The twins looked at each other wondering what was going on.
Turns out there many things that needed to be explained.
Especially sine they weren't the only ones in the mystery shack that had a Jusenkyo Curse.
Next Time: The twins are informed that they're not the only around the Mystery Shack with a curse. However that's the least shocking thing with this. Stan has a secret... a secret he decides to confide with the twins. What is it? And how shocking is it?
A/N: Okay the reasons why I gave them the curses:
Dipper: It's a Ranma crossover... and he's newly cursed, he needs to turn in to a girl. But it couldn't be a human girl. Thusly I figured turning into a dryad would be perfect. However I needed a reason for why not a human girl so there wouldn't be a reason they could get easily cured. Various aspects of a dryad will be plot important.
Mabel: It had to be done, and yes it is the same type of Unicorn as C-Beth. I'm planning for it a plot where Mabel is confused why nothing written about unicorns applies to her, she might find out the truth that unicorns are bitches. Still haven't decided.
Also there's at three other character cursed by Gravity Falls Jusenkyo, two have been finalized one's I'm still toying around with ideas. I won't say who they but yeah, that "Kid who turns into a skunk" will be one of them.
