Hello, This is a Ranma 1/2 Fan-fiction that is a crossover between Ranma 1/2 and 
Chrono Trigger.  Please note that this story was written in the point of view of 
a devoted Chrono Trigger fan. You must have some knowledge of Chrono Trigger in 
order for the story to make sense.  There is a lot of magic in Chrono Trigger 
and here's a brief summary of Chrono Trigger:
	
	Chrono Trigger is a RPG game from Squaresoft for the Super NES.  The 
characters must save the world from being destroyed by Lavos by traveling 
through time and changing history.  The main characters are:
	Crono - He loves Marle and will die for her.  He uses a sword and 
lightning magic.
	Marle - Crono's girlfriend.  Equally devoted to Crono as Crono is to 
her.  Specialize in healing and ice magic.
	Lucca - The genius inventor. Friend of Marle and Crono.  Uses fire 
magic.
	Frog - A cursed knight from 600 AD.  He uses a sword also and he uses 
water magic and can also use healing magic.
	Robo - A robot from the future.  Can use healing technique + laser 
attacks.
	Ayla - A very strong cavewoman from 65 million BC.
	Magus - An evil wizard who now fights on the good guys side.  He uses 
shadow magic.

	Please let me know how you think of my story.  I'm currently on chapter 
4.  Any ideas and comments would be appreciated.
