Prologue part 3: An Interdimensional Deal.

?:?, ? Somewhere between dimensions.

Lurline and Dieu (the God of the Les miserables universe) had gotten very drunk after the yearly Deity evaluation meeting, a way for Gods and Goddess to share news about their universes and consolidate crossovers and the like. This particular year's theatre pantheon's proceedings were dominated by the Goddess of the Frozen universe, a new power, bragging about how popular her universe was getting and the various merchandise deals her priests were signing, including a Broadway musical starring Idina Menzel which royally (Pun intended) ticked off Lurline as Idina Menzel was her worshiper, not this new upstarts, but being too polite (being around for 115 years can do that to you) she just kept her anger to herself.

Dieu on the other hand who had just recently got a new Broadway musical revival himself was just happy to have a drinking buddy: even if was she his distant cousin (being older than 150 can do that to you). After approximately 22 glasses of the strongest vodka in the multiverse, it takes a lot for a Deity to get drunk, at the nearest bar they half-jokingly signed a crossover between their universes involving sending half the cast of one to dimension of the other and the other half remanding in there's to watch the hilarity unfold. Also the times in the universes would be reset to the day when most of the characters would be alive so in so it would be an even playing field.

Of course in the morning after they were sober enough Dieu and Lurline had to present the crossover before the grand court of Mary Sues and Marty Stus and the grant counsel of crossover material but it passed and was hailed as the best idea Dieu had come up with next to giving Colm Wilkinson the ability to sing a C6, a note that should not be humanly possible by a man. After the final paperwork was signed and the two were made to swear the crossover oath, that any lasting effects on the universes were the Deity's fault and not the inhabitances, a flash of black light engulfed the two worlds as the changes took place.
