Translated (hopefully correctly) into modern English, I give you Act I Prologue! By the way, because this is done to my translation this may be incorrect, or sound very very weird!

Romeo and Juliet © William Shakespeare

Kingdom Hearts © Square Enix / Disney

There are two great noble families,

In the great Radiant Garden, where this story's set,

From an old argument emerges a new struggle,

Where the blood of the innocent makes innocent hand guilty.

From the families of these two foes,

A pair of lovers doomed to tragedy take their life;

Their pitiful adventure brings to an end

With their death their parents' feud.

The fearful story of death marked love,

And the parents' continual anger,

Which nothing but their children's deaths end,

Is now the story weaved in front of you;

Which if you read carefully,

Whatever you don't understand, we shall try to help.

(laughs uncontrollably) Geez, did I screw that last line up or what? Sorry!

Anyway, I'm doing this as a challenge from my little sister. She has an account on FF, but, being the wonderful big sister I am, I quite honestly can't remember it! Oh well (hides as sister brandishes gun). A friend of mine got me the Romeo and Juliet manga (trust me, you should read it) and after I read it several times through, I let her read it (my sister, that is). She couldn't understand much of it, as it was all in the original Old English, so she asked me to try and translate it. Then she said I should try and adapt it to Kingdom hearts. Oh well, a challenge is a challenge.

Oh, and just because this is such a short chapter, I'll include the cast. I'm not totally happy with my choices, such as the LeonxTifa pairing, but oh well. And Demyx was pretty much thrown in at the last minute. Half for a shortage of characters, half for the funniness of it.

And last but not least, there will be no Keyblades. Well, otherwise, I'd have Rai charging around with a Keyblade, and that just scared me.

Romeo: Sora (well duh…)

Juliet: Kairi (sorry, yaoi fans, the thought of Riku impaling himelf at the end was too much to bare. And also I don't really like SoraxRiku.)

Lord and Lady Montague: Cloud and Aerith (some people, including my sister, believe that Sora is Cloud and Aerith's kid for some reason. I decided to humour this)

Lord and Lady Capulet: Leon and Tifa (I was a little stuck for characters. Not really a fan of LeonxTifa)

Mercutio: Riku (well, Sora and Riku are best friends, and so are Romeo and Mercutio)

Benvolio: Roxas (Benvolio and Romeo are cousins, and Sora and Roxas are practically twins)

Tybalt: Seifer (umm, no idea how I picked this one, to be honest. I think I tried to keep the Capulets as FF characters and Montagues as KH characters)

Paris: Tidus (according to my little sister, Tidus secretly fancies Kairi. Again, just to humour her)

Nurse: Kairi's 'grandmother' (remember her from KH I?)

Friar Laurence: Ansem the Wise (because he has a beard)

Prince Escalus: Axel (lol, I thought it would be funny. And some people say that Axel's Riku Nobody (which I personally detest the idea of) and Escalus and Mercutio are related)

Rosaline: Naminé (well, it was her or Selphie, and SoraxNaminé was less weird than SoraxSelphie)

Montague Servants: Hayner, Pence, Olette (like I said, Montagues, KH characters; Capulets, FF characters)

Capulet Servants: Rai, Vivi, Fuu (ditto)

The Apothecary: Demyx (last minute sort of thing. Plus I like Demyx, but not as much as Riku)
