Authoress' Note: So, I've finally decided to start putting some of my stories up on this site. I've been writing fanfics for several years now, but none of them really struck me as being great. As I've gotten older, I've improved my style to the point where I think I can handle showing it off.
I used to have problems with controlling how many ideas I put into each story. Now, however, I've gotten the hang of self-control, both with my writing and in everyday life. For this reason, I think I can manage to keep a story understandable. And I hope that the characters don't start to seem too Mary-Sue-ish. I really do try to give them flaws and figure out who really wouldn't like them.

This prolouge is just to sort of set up who my two OCs are, and show their relationship with each other. The length is not the same as a proper chapter, I promise you. The chapters are currently each running about fifteen pages long. This is a measly one page.

Disclaimer: ...Really, this site is call FANfic . net.If the concept of me not owning Final Fantasy 9 does not become obvious because of this, I don't know what would do so.

"What's the point of this?"

Two young adults were sitting in a basement, the brunette girl with her legs tucked under her on the cushioned chair. She was holding a playstation controller in her hands, but her thumbs weren't on the controllers. The girl was the older of the two, though it didn't entirely look like it due to the slight smile on her face.

"Oh come on. You like stories and all, and you said yourself that you want to see the stories in games." The girl rolled her eyes, the smirk turning into a grin. She set the controller down and stretched herself forwards, letting her hands hang down from the edge of the chair.

"Alright, alright. Which game, then?" The boy, crouching by the stack of cases, carefully tugged a wider case free from the stack, using his hand to keep the cases on top of the one he'd chosen from falling over on top of him. "Hey, careful. I don't want to get yelled at by your mom for making her headache any worse." There was amusement in her voice, showing that she was joking.

"She's put her earplugs in. She wouldn't even hear this TV falling over, even if she was awake. Here." He tossed the case to her and then sat on his own chair, an un-padded version of hers. She caught the case between both of her hands, and winced as a sharp corner planted itself into her palm. She shook the offended hand and turned the case to look at it, looking a little confused.

"Final Fantasy...Eye-ex?" The black-haired boy made a sound that seemed to be between a groan and a laugh, tilting his head back. "Oh. Roman numerals. Nine." He nodded with a wide grin that his friend couldn't help but return.

"How many blonde moments are you gonna have today, Cass?" She glared/pouted at him, which only made him laugh hard.

"Shut it, Kole." He laughed harder, his face turning red from lack of oxygen. She reached out a hand to whap him over the head, but he ducked. His laughter did make her smile in response, showing that she was fond of the boy. She read the manual of the game while waiting for him to stop laughing, and handed over the first disk of the game, blinking at the pictures of the characters. "Why's this guy have a tail...?" Kole leaned over to glance at the picture as he put the disk in.

"That'd be spoiling it." He grinned at her as she sent him a flat look and closed the CD drive of the machine. He grabbed the cord of the controller and tugged it off of Cass's lap, setting it in his own. They sat through the opening sequence before the choice to start a new game or continue one that was already started.

Kole hit the start new game button and then set the controller down to wait for the controllable part of the game to start. As soon as he set down the controller, though, the game console started to spark...through the plastic cover. Cass yelped and dove to turn off the console as Kole freaked and reached for the power cord.

The brunette yelled in pain as she was shocked by the console, and slumped over, her eyes unfocused and open, falling from her chair completely. Kole, panicking, stumbled from his chair to kneel next to Cass to check her pulse. His hand landed on the console, and the electrical sparks arced from the console up and across his body, a few sparks travelling in between him and Cass.

Meanwhile, the screen of the TV showed a street in Lindblum, with a few people running down the street, one with a sandy blonde tail.
