            “This.” Red told the guide, “Is what I’m looking for.”

            The man blinked at him. Red sighed.

            “You don’t speak English, do you?”

            The man continued to stare at him.

            Lance coughed, and then switched to Japanese as he proffered an aerial photograph. “Kore no izumi wa doko desu ka?”

            The man still blinked at him.

            Finally, Red wrote the kanji for the word and shoved it at him. The guide turned to stare at both of them, looking horrified, and began blathering.

            “… Do you understand Chinese, Lance?”

            “No.” The Dragon Master said. “We might as well check from the air. Hakuryuu!”

            Dragonair appeared in a flash of light, and they both climbed on, flying off.

            The Guide frowned. More people were heading for Jusenkyo? What on earth were they doing? Well, he’d tried to warn them, and the cursed springs demanded a certain number of sacrifices each year, so… he might as well not interfere.

           

            “That one, I think.” Red said, eying the circled spring. “Are you sure you want to go through with this?”

            “Of course.” Lance smirked. “It will be fun.”

            They landed, and two splashes later, were now both female.

 

            Red thought Lance looked absolutely adorable. Sure, her eyes were blue instead of gold, but she was so pretty… and now he was finally taller than she was!

            Of course, as he jumped in, he noticed that his short hair was growing longer and turning an interesting shade of light brown. Hmm.

            So it was genetically determined.

            Lance kissed him then, and he moaned. It still felt the same, since he knew it was Lance, but also… nice.

            “This should be interesting.” The Dragon Master mused. “Hot water to change back, right?”

            Red nodded, and they hopped back on Hakuryuu again.

 

            That night, Bruno was quite surprised to notice two unfamiliar girls giggling as they darted into Lance’s room.

            Man, someone had all the luck.

           

            “So you don’t mind if I take pictures of you like this?” Red giggled, camera in hand.

            Lance smirked as she posed. “Should I?”

            “You’re so pretty… it’s not fair…”

            “Meh.” The Dragon Master flipped a hand idly. “It doesn’t matter, does it?”

            Red snapped off another photo, grinning. “I guess not.”

            “Good.” Lance purred, before making a flying leap across the room. Red dropped the camera, and flushed as she found herself pinned to the ground.

            “This will be fun after all!”
