DISCLAIMER: If I owned Final Fantasy IX it'd be recreated for the PS3 with voice acting AND have a sequel by now.
In the small kingdom of Alexandria, on April 11th, a little girl was born. This little girl brought joy to everyone the minute she was born. Her parents and her kingdom longed for her. Why? She was born to the king and queen of Alexandria. She was born the as the heir to the throne. She was born a princess. Once her birth was announced the whole kingdom rejoiced! There was, at last, an heir to the throne! No one could stop talking about the birth of Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII. The king, queen, and every subject of the kingdom were confident that she would be a graceful princess and a powerful queen once the time came. She would be spoiled with many gifts and the servants would tend to her every need. Princess Garnet would grow up loved.
On the very same day, another little girl was born. This little girl also brought joy to everyone the minute she was born. But this girl was not a princess. She was going to be a strong, normal girl. She brought joy to her family and family friends. Her parents were not the richest, in fact no one was. She would not be able to have nearly as much as Princess Garnet, but they wanted this little girl to also grow up loved. But what neither family knew that both little girls looked almost exactly the same! Unfortunately, this extraordinary event went unnoticed for a number of years.
Author's Note: Eventual Zid/Dag! I promise! Anyway, I'm only 14 and this is my first attempt at a fanfiction so please don't be too harsh. :/ But I'll appreciate reviews and constructive criticism! :D The concept of this FFIX fanfiction is based on 'The Prince and the Pauper' by Mark Twain and a tiiiiny bit by the movie 'Barbie as The Princess and the Pauper'. I've only written 3 chapters so far but then I started to read the book and I decided to change the story dramatically. lol. I'm only on the fourth chapter of the book and I found out how boring Mark Twain is! Uggghhh!!! But I'll try to read the whole thing even if Twain is confusing me with all the 'dar'sts' and the 'do'sts' and all the other confusing words. I figured out what they all mean but it just takes me a while... Even though I haven't read the whole thing I know the main plot. If you don't know it, here it is in a nutshell: A prince and a poor pauper meet each other and find they look exactly alike and they switch places because they're both facinated with the other's way of life and eventual troubles come of that, etc etc etc... Anyway, sorry for the long A/N but please bare with me!
