Me: Hi guys!
All: AHHHHHH!!! *ducks and covers*
Me: *siiiigh* Aren't you even a little bit curious about what this particular fic is about?
All: NO! Me: Oh good grief. Anyway, I hope that you, my readers, are a little familiar with the animated version of The Swan Princess, because that's what this cross over is based on. I think we all know who the narrator is.....
Lina: Like you'll ever let one of us be the narrator.
Me: If I did, there would be a less likely chance that the fic would take place the way that I envision it to.
Zel: You're such a perfectionist.
Me: Only occasionally. Have you seen my room?
Zel: No....
Me: Good, you can't walk in it. All right, in the role of the Swan Princess, or Prince, we have Zelgadis Greywyrs!
Zel: It's not bad enough that I have blue rocks for skin with boulders attached to my face, oh no. Now I have to turn into a swan. *mutter mutter snort swear*
Me: As the Princess, we have Princess Amelia Wil Tesla Saillune!
Amelia: Come on, Zelgadis, you look cool the way you are! Besides not everyone can stop cannonballs with their heads, you know.
Zel: *mumble mumble*
Xel: She has a point about the cannonballs.
Zel: Who asked you?
Xel: Sore wa himitsu desu. ^_~
Me: In the role of the frog, we have Martina.
Martina: WHAT AM I DOING AS A FROG?!
Me: You're not really a frog, it's just a part you're playing. You'll still be in your human form .... Nah, you're gonna look like a frog. *giggle*
Martina: Why is a princess such as myself reduced to such a lowly role?
Me: Because I'm the one that's writing the story and you really have no choice in the matter.
Martina: *swear swear*
Me: As Puffin, we have Gourry.
Gourry: Why am I a bird?
Lina: You knew that a puffin was a type of bird?
Gourry: Yeah, they live on ice burgs.
Lina: Gourry, those are penguins.
Gourry: No, that's a type of suit that guys wear when they want to be formal.
Lina: *groan* I give up.
Me: In the role of Speed the Turtle, we have Lina Inverse.
Lina: I'm not going to comment.
Me: As the evil sorcerer, we have Xelloss....
Xel: As always! I do so love being evil. ^_^
Zel: Fruitcake.
Me: As Zel's friend and companion, we have Valgarv.
Val: I don't want to be in this fic!
Me: You're old enough for your wants to not hurt you.
Val: &^%^%$%^$$%#$%%^%$^&%*%*&^^&%!!!!!!
Me: As Xelloss captain of the guard, we have Zangulus.
Zang: Oh please, I have better things to do.
Me: Tough. As Amelia's friend and companion, we have Filia Buscott.
Filia: I want a cup of tea.
Me: In a minute.
Filia: NOW! *pulls out mace*
Me: *hands Filia a cup* Sheesh. Amelia's father will once again be played by her real father, and Rezo shall have the part of Zel's grandfather/great grandfather....
Rezo: You mean I actually have a speaking part in this fic?
Me: Yep!
Rezo: The world's ending! O.o
Xel: ^_^
Me: And as Phil's right hand lady, we have Sylphiel once again.
Syl: When will you have me star in a fic with Gourry dear, Miss Alyson?
Me: *mumbles* When I willingly clean my room.
Syl: What did you say? I didn't hear you.
Me: Um, time to start the story!
All: *siiiiiigh*
