Chapter 1 -----------

Zidane rolls over in bed and wakes up to find he is back in the Tantalus hideout in Lindblum. He gets up and walks around and starts thinking to himself "Was it all a dream? Did I ever actually meet the Princess? It seemed so real. How could that be? I know how to find out."

Outside we see Baku walking up to the hideout as Zidane comes rushing out.

Baku says, "Whoa, what's the rush there Zidane? Have somewhere important to go?"

Out of breath Zidane replies, "No I was coming to look for you. I need to talk to you about something. It is important so lets go inside and sit down."

"Okay but make it quick because we have to get going soon on our way to Alexandria Castle to put on our play."

Zidane gets a puzzled look on his face and asks, "Wait we...didn't..do the play yet?"

Baku starts to get annoyed and says, "Geeze Zidane, are you going crazy or something? No we haven't done the play yet. Com'n you can't be the dumb to forget about our plan and when it is actually happening."

Zidane gets a sad look on his face and turns to the door, "Lets go inside, I'll explain what is going on in there."

About a hour later Zidane and Baku walkout talking and Baku says, "So you mean to tell me you dreamt all that up? Geeze, what a strange dream. You say you had a brother named Kuja? How ridiculous, you don't have a brother or any family for that matter, besides us at Tantalus.

"Well Baku I don't know what to tell ya cause it sure as heck seemed real. I mean we went through the play and everything. So when are we leaving?"

"In about 5 minutes, so get on the air ship everyoen else is all ready there."

Zidane gets on the ship and goes to a room to lie down and think about what was going on.

---Zidane's P.O.V.--- Man how could I have dreamt all of that, is it possible? I wonder if any one I dreamt about actually exists. What about Vivi, and Rusty, what about Beatrix, how could it all have been a dream? It seemed so real! I have to find out what it meant...what if I just repeat it all over again. We are still trying to capture the princess....but this could be good. If it happens like last time, I know what to do now. This is so confusing though.

"Hey Zidane you in there?"

"Yeah Blank come on in."

"Hey Zidane, Boss told us about your dream. How weird. You think it was true at all?"

"I don't know, it is so frustrating...if everything happens like it did in my dream at the play tonight, then I am going to wonder a bit."

"Okay Zidane, we are almost to Alexandria now, so come down in a bit to the meeting room so we can go over the plans with the Boss."

"Okay Blank, I'll be down in a bit."

I wonder if the boss will attack us like he did in my dream...is so I am ready this time. I guess I better be heading down there now.

Zidane walks down to a dark room and lights a candle sitting on the table, there is a voice from the other room.

"Who's There?"

"It's me, Zidane." Man this is happening like my dream so far.

"Hey Zidane, you sure are late."

"Sorry, I got bit sidetracked. So, where's the boss?"

"He's not here yet."

All of a sudden a man with a dragon like mask jumps out and engages into battle. After a bit of beating from Zidane and the gang the mask splits open to reveal Baku.

"Hey fools! Your lookin' a lot better! Gwahahaha! Alright, let's start this meeting already!"
