Title: Slayers Rhapsody
Disclaimer: I own nothing in this story
Summary: This fanfiction is a crossover of the anime series "Slayers" and the Playstation game "Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure". I'm sure a lot of people have heard of Slayers, but I'm not too sure how many have heard of Rhapsody (especially since it's kind of... girly/mushy). Either way I felt compelled to do this story so, even if you've never heard of Rhapsody, just think of this as another Slayer's adventure. :)

Characters: This is who the Slayers characters will be playing.

Cornet: She's the main character of the game. (Lina)
Kururu: Cornet's best friend as well as a puppet. (Amelia)

Prince Ferdinand: He is the Prince of Marl's Kingdom and will be turning 18 soon. Because of this he is currently searching for a bride. (Gourry)
Etoile: A snobbish rich girl who's always making fun of Cornet. (Naga)

Gao: A strong fighter that is so like a man that she should actually be one (And in this case she is). (Xellos)
Myao: A stubborn cat-girl that often times acts childish. (Filia)
(A/N: If I think of any more characters I'll try and list them in future chapters).
The Adventure Begins

A long time ago, in a little village called Orange nestled in Marl's Kingdom...

There lived a girl with her grandfather...

Her name was Lina and this is her story...

Lina had a mysterios friend...
A puppet with the heart and soul of a person...
Her name was Amelia...

People in Orange thought Lina a little odd because she
went everywhere with Amelia...
But everybody in Orange loved the bright smiles that
Lina and Amelia always carried with them...

Everyday, Lina would take a walk
in the woods with Amelia...

But little does Lina know that today
will be different...

This is where are story begins
(A/N: The paragraph listed above is from the original novel "Puppet Princess", however, the names were changed from Cornet and Kururu to Lina and Amelia).
Our story begins with darkness. We see the sorceress supreme running. Something appears from the darkness. It's a dragon and it's preparing to attack. But, before Lina can respond, a flash of blue and white shines.

Lina: (He's the one. The man that I've been dreaming of. My... my Prince). Thank you for saving me. Oh, my Prince *SMOOCH*

*The scene switches to show that Lina was alseep and is now kissing Amelia. Oops*

Amelia: AUGGGHH. LINA, WAKE UP ALREADY. *Whacks Lina with a paper fan*

Lina: Oooww. What was that for?

Amelia: You were dreaming about the Prince weren't you?

Lina: *Pouts a little* Yeah, so?

Amelia: Come on. It's time to get up. Grandpa is waiting for us.

Lina: Oh alright. Don't get your pantyhose in a bunch.

*Amelia opens the curtains and as the sunlight streams in you can make out the shadow of the large tree that is the symbol of Mothergreen*

*Lina finishes getting dressed and heads downstairs*

Phil: I see you're awake now. I would like for you to go to the forest and get some Red Inotium for me.

(A/N: Inotium is the currency used in the game).

Lina: Sure, I'll go.

Phil: Good. Oh, by the way, this puppet came in the mail today.

*Lina goes and talks to the puppet*

Puppet: Can you hear me? Then will you play your horn?

*Lina does so and the puppet speaks again*

Sharte: Thank you. My name is Sharte and I'm looking for my sister Terra. Will you help me find her? She left after saying she wanted to become a human.

Lina: I'll help you.

Sharte: Thank you.

*Sharte has now joined Lina and Amelia. The three leave the house and head to their next destination*

*Wonder Woods*

Lina: It's such a nice day out. *Gets this dreamy look in her eyes*

Amelia: Ah, I bet you're thinking about the Prince again.

Lina: And what if I am?

Amelia: Oh don't look at me like that. I happen to know about love too.

Lina: That was a long time ago.

Amelia: Stop looking at me like I have a third arm. Just because I'm a puppet doesn't mean that I don't have feelings.

Lina: Yeah, I guess so.

*A rustle is heard from the brush*

Amelia: Hum, what's that sound?

Lina: It's... AAAUUGGGHHH. NO, GET AWAY.

*Four slimy slugs had suddenly appeard*

Lina: Eeeeew. It's slugs. I hate slugs. Take this. FIREBALL.

*Now there are four burnt slugs*

Amelia: Talk about overkill.

Lina: I couldn't help it. I hate slugs.

Amelia: True but... *Gets this goofy look in her eyes* Don't you think slugs smell wonderful when their burnt to a crisp?

Lina: Ugh, maybe to you.

Amelia: I guess so.... Hey Lina?

Lina: What is it now?

Amelia: I'm really hungry. Let's stop and have lunch. Please, pretty please?

Lina: Come on Amelia. We don't have time now. We have to go get.... *GROOOWWL* *Lina's stomach growls loud enough to cause an earthquake*

Amelia: See. You're hungry too.

Lina: Well, alright. Let's stop and have lunch.

*A few hours later*

Amelia: Oh boy, am I stuffed. Happy, happy. Hey Lina, would you sing your favorite song?

Lina: Alright.
-Let's Go On-

~I remember this song, I've know it for so long
And it feels so good to hear
Sounds a little sad but sweet just the same
Lovely melody
Whenever I hear this song, I really don't know why
It makes me shed a little tear
But I'm sure my tears will soon disappear
Because I know you're here
Whenever I am feeling sad
And everything around looks bad
All I have to do is think of you
I know my dreams are waiting to come true
Let's go on with hope in our hearts love will surely show is how
Let's go on, our hearts filled with dreams
Let's go on and find them now~

*Lina stops singing*

Amelia: That was beautiful, Lina.

Lina: Thank you. Hey Amelia, do you think my parents would be proud of me?

Amelia: I know they would. Let's continue on now.

*Lina and Amelia continue walking and soon enter a clearing. Here they begin searching for the Red Inotium*

Amelia: I found some!

Lina: Great. now we can...

*Suddenly, a girl and three cats burst out from behind some bushes*

Girl: That Inotium is for Mistress Martina only!

Amelia: Who's this weirdo?

Lina: I don't know, but let's go before their stupidity rubs off on us.

Girl: Hey! Are you even listening to me!?

Nyanko: Punishment, meow! Punishment, meow! The Filia says!

Filia: Hey that's not a bad idea. That's the smartest thing you've said today. Why don't you three go give them some punishment?

Nyanko: Uh, I don't really feel like it.

Nanako: I want to take a nap.

Neko: I'm hungry.

Filia: Dammit just hurry up and attack!

*And attack they did but the battle was over as soon as Lina casted a Fireball*

Filia: Oh that was pathetic. I'll have to do things myself. *ROAR*

*And right before Lina and Amelia's eyes the girl Filia became the dragon Filia*

Filia: Now is the time to surrender.

Lina: I don't think so.

Amelia: But Lina, it's a dragon. You can't possibly expect to beat it.

Lina: I'm still going to try. It's better than just giving up. Now stand back.

Amelia: But Lina... oh I give up. You're on your own on this one.

Filia: Ha! Take your best shot!

Lina: Darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows, buried in the stream of time is where your power grows. I vow to conquer all those who stand, before the gift bestowed in my unworthy hand, let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess. DRAGON SLAV....

*But before Lina could finish casting the spell a familiar flash of blue and white appears*

Filia: *Goes wide eyed* Who the heck are you!?

Mystery Guy: My name is Gourry and I will not allow you to harm this girl.

Lina: (It's him, the man of my dreams).

Filia: Don't try and interfer buddy. Wait a minute... that's the royal crest... then that must mean that you're!

Gourry: Yes. I am the Prince and I'm warning you that if you don't leave, then I shall slay you!

Filia: Grrr. Don't think you've gotten away with this hero boy. *Dashes of into the bushes with the three cats following her*

Gourry: I'm glad you're alright miss I... *Turns around and gets a good look at Lina*

Lina: *Off in La-La Land* (He's dazzled by my beauty. If it's one thing I have confidence in, it's my looks. My big round eyes, my cute mose, my perfectly proportioned extra petite little body).

Gourry: Sigh...

Lina: (He sighs with longing).

Gourry: Great. It's a kid. I'm out here risking my neck for a kid.

Lina: What!?

Gourry: I thought I was rescuing a damesl in distress. A luscious babe. Not some flat chested little girl.

Lina: (It's times like this that I wish my looks were better and my hearing was worse. What's his problem. Doesn't he realize how lucky he is to have met me. I wasn't even in any danger. Well, it doesn't hurt to be polite, and maybe he'll succumb to my charms). Oh, thank you so much for saving me! (He can't be buying this dopey act).

Gourry: Oh sure, no problem. Anytime. Oh, I forgot to ask you. What's your name little girl?

Lina: Look, I'm not a little girl.

Gourry: It's way to dangerous for a kid to be wandering around the woods by herself. Did you get seperated from your mom and dad?

Lina: What? I don't have a mom or dad and I'm not lost.

Gourry: Oh this is just too dangerous for little girls to be out by themselves. It's my duty to be chivalrous and so I will escort you home.

Lina: Look, for the last time I'm not lost, I don't need and escort, and I'm not a little girl.

Gourry: Now tell me little girl, where do you live?

Lina: (Arr, this guy just won't get it. I think I would have prefered being fried by that dragon).

Gourry: Let's be off now. You can tell me where you live on the way.

Lina: I'm not going anywhere with you... oh will you just listen to me.

*A voice is heard calling out to Gourry*

Servant: Your Highness, can you hear me? It's time to come home.

Gourry: I'm sorry but I must leave you. *Goes off to meet up with the servant*

Amelia: Wow. I didn't know he was the Prince. He's just as they say he is. Kind, handsome, and a good swordsman to boot. He's everything a girl could want.

Lina: Good riddance. I thought that guy would never leave. Although, he was kind of nice. Come on Amelia, let's go home.
A/N: So, what did you all think of the first chapter. I don't know how many people will read this but, for those few who do, please R&R. Thank you. Oh, also note that the pairings will be the same in the series, meaning Lina/Gourry (obviously), Amelia/Zelgadis, Filia/Xellos (And maybe Martina/Zangulus).
