Hi everyone ^^ This is my first attempt at writing a fanfiction, so please bear with me and review, review, review!

I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING FROM FINAL FANTASY IX.

Prologue

'What a rotten day...' I thought, kicking a rock while sauntering down the long gravel path that led to my two-storied home. I failed my math test, forgot my history book that was required for homework, and embarrased myself in gym by spending more time getting hit by dodgeballs than playing the actual game.

"Hello Alyxia," my father said as I opened the front door and hung my jacket on the coat rack. "How was school?"

"Horrible. I'm sick of the same things happening everyday. It's like a dreadful routine that I'm doomed to for the rest of my life." At this responce, my dad cut the T.V. off-always a sign of serious discussion- and leaned back in the recliner, waiting for my continuation. I told him the brief summary of my day, and finished by flopping down on the couch dramatically.

"Are you alright, though? The ball didn't make your head hurt too much, did it? It didn't crack anything?" Of course. It figured my dad would spaz over the dodgeball incident, probably because he was a doctor and worked all the time with patients that got hurt easily. Patients like me.

"No, Dad, I'm fine. The balls were soft, so there weren't any serious injuries." I said, partly exasperated because I felt that everything I had mentioned before the dodgeball nightmare had been blown off.

"Well...as long as you're alright." He said. I could still see his wory, and I rolled my eyes at him.

"I'm fine, Dad. Don't worry." Then I stretched and stood. "Call me when dinner is ready, please. I'll wash dishes." After waiting for his nod of approval, I headed upstairs to my room. It's been a while since I've played Final Fantasy IX, and right now it seemed to be the perfect stress reliever since it was the only thing visable on my T.V. stand. I picked it up and opened the case. After removing the first disk, I bent down and popped it into my PS2. I watched the beginning all the way until it came to the start menue. After a hard decision over whether I wanted to continue the game I had saved a year ago or start a new one, I moved the cursor over both choices, and finally selected 'New game.'

Everything went black as I felt my body compress. It was as if I was being squeezed width-wise by an invisible force.
