Prologue

Twins of the Moon

            This is a Ranma ½ / Sailor Moon crossover.  This is my first attempt at this type of crossover.  Normally, I wait till I have read an entire series before I write a story, but since Sailor Moon won't be showing the whole season any time soon in my area, I decided to write this because the story is driving me nuts and I believe I have gotten a basic hold on the characters.

Disclaimer: Ranma ½ and Sailor Moon belong to their respective owners.

One more note before I start, if you can think of a better title for the story, please suggest it in your review.

Silver Millenium:

            On the Moon there was a great palace, a palace that was the centre of the solar system.  It was ruled by Queen Serenity the XV.  Her family had ruled for a Millenium, hence the name.  Her family had ruled with a gentle hand trying to be fair to all, as much as a Monarchy can be.  The royal family itself had always had one child, a daughter it always seemed to be.  Not in recorded history had a male heir to the throne been born.  So when the Queen gave birth to a boy, people were a little shocked in the delivery room. 

            "A first born male, this is interesting.  Have you thought of a name Queen?"  The doctor asked after losing his voice for nearly a minute.

            "I had not expected a son, and I don't believe-." She was interrupted by a sharp pain.  "Another contraction?"  She questioned.

            "One moment my Queen, I believe you're having another child."  The doctor got back to work as Serenity the XVI was born. 

            "Now the big question Serenity, whom gets the throne?"  Her husband asked leaving a deafening silence.

twelve years later:

            "Mother, I wish to talk to you about my taking of the throne."  A young boy said.  He was the prince of the moon and first born male heir to the throne in recorded history.  He was given the right because he was first born between him and his twin sister whom he loved dearly.

            "Yes Sean, what is it."

            "I-."

            "Remember dear, tonight is the ceremony that will make you prince."

            "Yes but"

            "So I want you on your best behavior."

            "Fine, but"

            "So no going around like a commoner, do you hear me?"

            "Yes, but"

            "Now, you wanted to say something dear?"  The queen asked completely ignoring her son.

            "It's not that important."  The young prince insisted as he walked out of the room disappointed.

            "So, did you tell her?"  Princess Serenity asked.

            "She wouldn't listen to me, I just don't know what I'm going to tell her."  He sighed, "I guess I'll have to tell everyone tonight."  And with that, they two siblings went to get ready for the ceremony.

            "We are gathered here tonight to officially name Sean prince of the lunar Kingdom, your highness, would you please step forward."  One of the nobles announced.

            Sean stepped forward to give his acceptance speech.  It wasn't what anyone had expected.  "People of the Lunar Kingdom, I Prince Sean, heir to the Lunar throne am stepping down so that my sister, Princess Serenity can take my place.  I am doing this because I know my sister will make a better Queen than I will a King.  So I'm stepping down as heir and I am going to personally be responsible for the safety of the princess and the Royal family.  I have been training for a great deal of time now under the Sailor Senshi to do this and they have said the only thing I can do now is keep on improving.  I'm sorry to my Queen for any hopes you may have had, but I was taught to do what was in the best interest of the Kingdom, and this is the best thing."  And with that, Sean walked out of the great hall followed quickly by his queen.  It was going to be a long night.
