  Dear Mathematica friends,

how can I tell Solve to find real roots only?
I tried RealOnly but it makes this little program to crash!

   Needs["Miscellaneous`RealOnly`"]; 
   f = a - (1-x) Sqrt[20 x - 20000 y];
   g = (a(1-y)- 1000 y (1-x))/(10-x);
   s = Solve [ f==0 && g==0, {x,y}];
   xs = x /. s;
   xx = Series [xs, {a,0,2}];

Is it my fault?

Thanks
