DISCLAIMER—I don't own the char from FF9 (I wish I did..) I don't own anything from FF9; all I own in Aki.. the end

BEWARE OF TYPOS!!!

Ch.1 - being normal is absurd

It was boring for her, sitting in the dull room. Aki blinked. she

couldn't concentrate on her art. Pulling a tan blanket around her, Aki sniffed. She had had that blanket ever since she was a baby.

Some guy was complaining about his girlfriend on the blaring radio/cd boom box that sat on her desk; she turned it off sleepily. "Nothing ever exciting ever happens..

same old, same old.. Wake up," Aki closed her sketchbook; the cover

stared up at her in the off-white light from the desk lamp, "Go to

school, come home, CHORES, and sleep, not to mention mealtimes." she

glanced at her tv, collecting dust from un-use. "Grrrr.. i WISH i

had cable..AHA!!!" she exclaimed suddenly, noticing the PS that sat

in the tv stand thingy [ooc: i dunno wat its called!!]

"I no! I'll beat FF 9, again!! HAHAHAHA!!" laughing maniacally [is

that a word??], Aki pulled out a massive cd case from under her bed.

She flipped through it quickly, pulled out the first disc of her favorite game, and popped it into the console. "Goody!!" She squealed like a little girl as she pressed the power button and grabbed the analog controller. The Sony and Playstion logo thingy

appeared on the screen. after waiting about 2 min for the logo to go

away, Aki growled. "Grrr!! Stoopid--aaahhh!!!!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

bracelets, and a star charm necklace; white sneakers; socks [dont

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A brilliant flash and piercing [and annoying] noise came out from

the tv, and aki vanished from her bedroom [which isnt that

important, so i need not describe it].

Feeling nauseated, Aki clutched her head as she spun around, through

blurs of darkness, light, and color. Pains in her head grew until

she screamed, and Aki landed abruptly on top of Zidane, putting out

the match he had lit in order to find the candle in the middle of

the room.

"Ow.." Zidane said in a muffled voice, laying facedown on the dusty wooden floor. "My back..."

Aki realized that she was sitting on top of someone, and got up quickly."I- Im sorry!!" she cried; Zidane lit another match after getting up and lit the candle, rubbing his nose. Aki's eyes widened as she saw the figure in front of her.

"Oh... my... GOD." she cried in shock. she was still wearing her American clothing, but on her left hand there was a long tan glove with buckles, a sheath with a dagger hung around her waist, her sneakers had changed to black boots, and a corner of her blanket peeked out from a tan messenger bag that hung off her shoulder. the thing that freaked her out the most was her white tail, that resembled a lion's, and the red, furry tip. "I- I...must be dreaming...Zidane?"

Zidane nearly jumped at the mention of his name. "How do u know my name?"

And with that, Aki fainted and collapsed to the floor.

"Who's there?!" said a voice from the next room.

"It's me, zidane!"

Blank, Cinna, and Marcus ran in and greeted Zidane with some sort of signal.

"So.. who's the dead cutie?" Blank asked.

"She's not dead; she fainted," Zidane replied, picking Aki up and setting her down in a chair.

"How'd u pick up a chick like her?" Marcus asked curiously.

Zidane shrugged. "I dunno, she just fell from the ceiling a minute ago!" Everyone cocked an eyebrow in disbelief. "I'm not kidding! I swear!" Zidane added. "so where's the boss?"

A weird monster thing burst into the room.

BATTLE!

The monster/Baku gets slashed by zidane's dagger.

"Ow! go easy u guys!" (the mask falls off..)

the end [im lazy]

"Bwahahahhaha!" baku laughed.

Aki stirred from the darkness and opened her eyes slowly. "Ooohh.. my head..." she sat up and tried to rub away the pain from her temples.

Zidane put his dagger away and walked over to Aki. "What's your name?"

"Aki."

"Are you feeling any better?"

"yes."

"Good! now you can tell me where you come from, besides the ceiling?"

Aki sniffed. "you won't believe me.. i know how you are, Zidane!"

Zidane blinked. "but i've never met you in my whole life, so how can you be so sure?"

"I come from the United States of America, The state of California, from a city called San Francisco," Aki stated, expecting stares from the members of Tantalus. she wasnt disappointed. "and i know alla you cuz' this is a video game, which i've already beaten."

"Maybe she hit her head too hard," Marcus suggested.

Zidane turned to face Marcus. "Yeah, but then how would she know my name?"

"Not just u, i know the boss's name is Baku, he's Blank, that guy's Cinna, and that's Marcus!! NOW do u believe me?!" Aki jumped up from the chair.

"Aha! she's a spy!" Cinna exclaimed.

"I am NOT a spy!!" Aki cried. "u people should at LEAST get to know someone before u judge them! why dont u all just get on with your meeting for your master plan to kidnap Garnet?"

"Oh! right-- the meeting!!" Baku said, and led everyone into the special meeting room.

"Zidane! Don't leeve me! Please, lemme come with you!" Aki begged, grabbing Zidane's hand.

"uh.. sure, i guess," he replied.

And they went onto the meeting.

[That's all folks; well for this chapter anyway..]
