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*

Onward!
Homeward!
