[ WP ] Two people discover a fountain of youth . The problem is that upon drinking the water you turn back into an infant . The two decide to take turns raising each other in order to live forever until one day one of them decides to break this agreement .

The old man pushed past the overgrown brush for the last time. There it was; the fountain of youth. 
 
 The fountain, as well as the rest of the shrine, had fallen into disuse, thousands of years beforehand. This was clear by the dense foliage that populated every conceivable inch of the shrine enclosing the fountain, which had the unfortunate drawback of making it incredibly difficult to get to. But he knew the way. 
 
 As always, there she was - this time, her red hair fell almost to her shoulders, and she was rather skinny and pale - almost gaunt. She was youthful, possibly in her twenties, with sparkling green eyes and a dash of freckles. 
 
 He approached her and smiled. 
 
 `` Hi there, stranger.'' 
 `` It's good to see you again,'' She embraced him. 
 `` It's good to see you, too. Are you alright?'' 
 She looked at him sheepishly, then, after a moment, gave him a weak smile. 
 
 `` I'm fine.'' 
 `` No, you're not.'' 
 `` Yes - I'm fine.'' 
 
 He stared at her for a moment. 
 `` Do you know what I have learned in my two thousand years on this planet?'' 
 
 She hesitated. Then, she asked,'' What?'' 
 
 `` I know when a person is sick. And badly so.'' 
 
 `` I'll be okay - We'll just - just....'' 
 
 `` Just what? Find a third? Bring them into our world? You know what this would do to someone of today.'' 
 
 `` Then what do you suggest?'' 
 
 `` This,'' and with that, he picked her up and threw her into the fountain. 
 
 She came up gasping for air and struggled to make it out of the fountain, but the damage was done; she was already changing. By the time she made it over the edge, she was only ten. She lay there, changing rapidly, until she was a mere infant. A healthy, strong, red headed little infant. 
 
 `` Sorry, dear. I ca n't have you dying on me, now. Hopefully, I can live to 100 again, yes?'' And with that, he picked her up and went back the way he came.
