Just like to say I have changed chapter eight to a chapter now so you can now read that. This is not a chapter but I'd appreciate it if you could read anyway, it's for someone named Alex. (You know who you are ^_^)

Kingleby: Hello! This is not a chapter but I will put one up soon. I would like to make an announcement!

Zidane: Oh no! She's going to babble on about her story or advertise a good fic.

Dagger: Why do we have to put up with this when all we want to see is what's going to happen to us?

Kingleby: *Glares at them* This is not an advertisement, it is an announcement.

Amarant: Let me guess. You're starting a new story and you feel you must bore us all by telling us as if we would actually care.

Kingleby: I don't like you and you are very expendable in my fic.

Amarant: …

Kingleby: *smiling snugly* That's what I thought. Anyway this is in fact…

All ff9 characters: *stare at her with expectation*

Kingleby: …A birthday announcement!

All ff9 characters: *All look dead bored again*

Steiner: Probably just one of her many sisters. (I have three)

Kingleby: Actually my eldest sister Samantha's 22nd birthday and my dad's birthday are on the 27th August. But this is not for them it's someone else. You see my dad doesn't play the games and Samantha has only played a little of ff7 so there's no point doing this for them. This birthday is on the 25th August…

Zidane: WHAT! What makes that spiky haired freak better to control than me?!

Cloud: Excuse me *shows very big sharp sword* Did you just call me a spiky haired freak?

Zidane: *looks at sword* N-no, I was talking about Seymour from ff10. You see I was talking about it earlier and was suddenly reminded of it *smiles nervously*

Dagger: *doesn't really care*

Cloud: *puts sword on his back*

Seymour: And what may I ask do you find wrong with my hair exactly? *has summoned Anima beside him*

Zidane: Nothing O_O I was talking about Sora from Kingdom Hearts, I mean his hair is just weird.

Sora: What's wrong with my hair?! *is standing with all those in Kingdom Hearts*

Ff7 Cloud: Hey, he's me!

KH Cloud: How strange.

Zidane: O_O

Kingleby: Sora can you tell me when they're making a sequel?

Sora: How would I know, I'm just a character.

Zidane: O_O

Kingleby: Is it true it's about Riku this time?

Sora: How would I know, I'm just a character.

Kingleby: _ Okay, get off my paper!

*all none ff9 character except me vanish*

Zidane: O_O

Kingleby: Now where was I? Oh yes, this birthday is for…Alex!

Dagger: Who?

Kingleby: She's a fellow fic writer, a VERY good one at that ^_^

Zidane: Never heard of her.

Kingleby: Course you haven't stupid! She uses a penname.

Eiko: *playing with mog* So what's the penname then?

Kingleby: Can't tell you, in her bio thing she wouldn't say her name so I am not about to give away her identity without permission.

Steiner: So what is the point of wishing her happy birthday when we don't know who she is?

Kingleby: We're not just wishing her happy 16th birthday…

Dagger: She's 16? I was met Zidane on my 16th birthday ^_^

Zidane: ^_^

Dagger: ^_^

Kingleby: SING!

All: WHAT!?

Kingleby: ^_^

Freya: Would everyone stop doing that!

Quina: I no sing. I eat.

Amarant: …No way

Steiner: *turning red with anger*

Beatrix: *doesn't really care*

Kuja: *looking evil as always, ready to cast ultima*

Vivi: *too shocked to speak*

Dagger: …^_^

Zidane: …^_^

Eiko: *smiling at Zidane already thinking of cheesy love songs she can sing to him*

Kupo: Happy Kupo to Kupo!

Kingleby: *getting karaoke machine ready*

Kupo: Happy Kupo to Kupo!

Freya: Why do we have to sing?

Kupo: Happy Kupo dear Kupo!

Kingleby: It's an inside thing (remember that birthday and singing thing you said about before ^_^)

Kupo: Happy Kupo to… *suddenly struck by ultima*

Kuja: What? He was annoying.

Eiko: *grabs mike* I want to sing…

Kingleby: Not yet! We're waiting for someone.

Zidane: Who? *twitching nervously*

Kingleby: *grins* You'll see ^_^

Amarant: I hate it when she does that.

Kingleby: _ EXPENDABLE!

All: *stare*

Kingleby: *waiting*

All: *stare*

Kingleby: *bored*

Eiko: *trying to turn machine on*

Kingleby: *still bored* I have a puppy named Sunset.

Amarant: So?

Kingleby: Kuja can you kill him please?

Kuja: Why should I? You brought me here and I'm barely in your fic.

Kingleby: You have a big part later.

Kuja: Really? Do I destroy the world? ^_^

Kingleby: Not exactly.

Kuja: What then?

Kingleby: You join them to save your brother ^_^ It's so sweet of you!

Kuja: O_O

Kingleby: Will you kill him now?

Kuja: O_O

Kingleby: Meanie, and I was going to make you a…

Kathleen: Don't give it away idiot. *leaves*

Kingleby: Right, sorry.

All: ?

Kingleby: That was me ^_^ She'a the one who makes me write these things. I'm just the penname.

All: O_O

Kingleby: *waiting again*

Eiko: *given up on machine and is now kicking it*

Kingleby: Even if you can get it to work it only plays 'happy birthday to Alex'.

Kupo: Kupo!

Kingleby: No, Alex!

Eiko: …Dammit

Steiner: This is idiotic, either you actually do something or just send us away! You're wasting paper by drafting this!

Kingleby: *sniff* I don't like you, I can make you expendable.

Beatrix: Hey! I love him!

Kingleby: I'll make Zidane kill you both if you want.

Beatrix: O_O

Steiner: O_O

Zidane: O_O

Freya: …So Zidane does go evil?

Kingleby: …Dammit

Kathleen: You and your big fat mouth!

*Suddenly a big monster appears carrying a girl while…*

Alice: Yuri, get off my arse.

Monster/Yuri: *growls*

Kingleby: Finally ^_^ Now…where'd everyone go?

All ff9 characters: *hiding*

Kingleby: Better go human Yuri.

Yuri: *now human* Happy birthday Alex!

Kingleby: ^_^ Hope you like it Alex! It was between this or trying to form the evil Zidane club but a) you tried it already b) when I tried they just gave me all these medicines and made me live with crazy people.

All: …

Kingleby: They didn't believe me when I told them Zidane was evil, I mean just look at him!

Zidane: O_O

Kingleby: He's worse than Kuja! (Or will be ^_^)

Kuja: This thing has gone too crazy for me to care what you say anymore.

Kingleby: …Yuri is 24 like you.

Kuja: ^_^ Finally someone my own age!

Yuri: …

Kuja: Please say you're an evil villain plotting to take over the world too!?

Yuri: I'm a Hamonxer (did I spell it right?)

Kuja: O_O ?

Alice: I do exorcisms.

Kuja: o_O ?

Zidane: Okay who are these people and what exactly is a ham-thingy.

Kingleby: They're from Shadow Hearts. I hear from Alex its really good ^_^

Yuri: A Hamonxer is someone who can fuse their body with that of a monster… wait a minute, are you saying you haven't actually played the game?

Kingleby: *nervously* Um, yeah?

Yuri: *starts turning to monster* So I am probably totally out of character?!

Kingleby: O_O

Alice: She got the arse grabbing part from, Yuri is a pervert!

Kingelby: I got that from Alex! I swear I will play your game when I get money! Apparently its really hard to find but really good.

Yuri: *goes back to human* Okay then, but only because you know Alex.

Kingleby: ^_^ I'm a fan of her work and she e-mails me. *sniff* I think of her as a friend.

Amarant: Great, a mushy teenager.

Kingleby: Hey! I have a hamonxer here so watch it!

Amarant: …

Yuri: So you will play the game?

Kingleby: Yep! ^_^ *whispers* after ff10-2.

Alice: So does Alex need an exorcism?

Kingleby: O_O No, we just want to sing happy birthday to her.

Kupo: Happy Kupo… *hit by ultima spell*

Alice O_O Are you sure?

Kingleby: If you do you get to leave.

All: *get into a big group to begin singing*

Kingleby: ^_^

All: *open mouths to start singing* happy…

*suddenly the most cutest little sausage puppy with black and tan fur and a light brown collar appears near kingleby and looks up with head tilted sideways looking so cute! ^_^*

Kingleby: Sunset! ^_^

All: … ^_^ How cute!

Sunset: *looking all innocent at them*

All: ^_^

Sunset: *sees Steiner and Amarant and begins barking (believe me he can bark loud when he wants to)*

Amarant: …

Steiner: …

All others: ^_^

Kingleby: ^_^ that's it baby one send them off!

Sunset: *begins chasing them both*

Zidane: Scared of a sausage dog *shakes head*

Kingleby: I don't know, he can get pretty scary when he gets in manic mode, or when I try to put him to bed. I swear he's just like a kid, I'll be prepared when I become a mother someday. *waits for sarcastic comment from Amarant but remembers Sunset is chasing him* ^_^ Anyway on with the singing!

All: *look scared*

Kingleby: Come on if you don't sing then I will and believe me that is scary.

All: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! (Kupo! *hit by spell again*) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ALEX! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO…

Kingleby: *can't resist joining in* YOU! *all windows break and many eardrums*

All: OUCH! MY EARS!

Kingleby: ^_^ Happy birthday Alex! Reviewers please show your support and wish her happy birthday in the reviews! Next chapter will be up soon promise.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
