A/N: I would write more to my other story, but I'm having too much fun with this one^-^
Any one who has a problem with that can a) deal with it, or b) get over it.
The choice is yours!


                                      ****Jade's P.O.V****
 "Who's there?"
I recognized the lines immediately; I had memorized everything {Something that comes with beating the game multiple times.}
 "It's me, Zidane."
Everyone came out on cue, Blank, Cinna and Marcus.
 "Hey Zidane, you sure are late."
 "Sorry, I got a little side tracked," he said motioning towards me, "So where's the boss?"
 "Ain't here yet."
Just then Baku made his entrance wearing that stupid dragon helmet type thing.
Everyone got in battle formation, it was amazing to watch them fight for real, much better than the tiny T.V screen in my room that's for sure. I wanted to join them so badly, but I didn't exactly have a weapon, so watching was about all I could do.
 With a final strike from Zidane's dagger, the helmet shattered. "Ughuaa! Oh my head! Go easy you guys!" I never knew just how loud that man was! You really can't tell from just a little text box on a T.V screen.
 "Hey fools! You're lookin' a lot better! Gwahahaha!"
We were all in a small room where you could easily hear someone whispering, but no he had to yell at the top of his lungs! The noisy fool was already getting on my nerves, and somehow I knew it was going to be a long day. And to make things worse, he didn't even notice when he almost stepped on me!
 "Alright, let's start this meeting already!" he bellowed while kicking in the door.
Everyone followed him inside except for Zidane. "Hey boss, what about her?" he asked pointing at me.

 For the first time Baku noticed me, "Bring her along!" he then turned to me, "You there, how'd you like ta be a member of Tantalus?"
 I wasn't exactly sure what I was getting myself into, but I figured I could get out of it just as easily when we reached Evil Forest and Zidane quit. I nodded in agreement.
 "Oh," I said simply, "and the name's Jade."
I followed them into the room where the meeting was being held and took up a chair next to Zidane, who of coarse sat backwards in his chair.  No one paid much attention to what Baku said, and I was sure they'd heard it all about a million times before. One thing I gathered was that Baku liked to hear himself talk, and knowing that, he'd probably gone over the plan several times.
 "Here's the plan! Tantalus, the infamous band of daring thieves (that's us) is headin' to the kingdom of Alexandria… Our mission: to kidnap the heir to the throne, Princess Garnet."
 Cinna stood up then, " I'll take it from here, so listen up! Our ships about to dock at Alexandria… And when it does, we're gonna put on our costumes… and perform 'I Want To Be Your Canary,' the most popular play in Alexandria!!! Break a leg Marcus, 'cause you're playin' the lead!"
 "Leave the actin' to me! Of coarse the real kidnappers'll be Blank and Zidane."
 "I'll distract the audience from backstage with these little buggers," Blank said holding up an Oglop, "I can't stand Oglops… but I'll manage, so don't worry about me. And that'll be your cue Zidane!"
 "That's when I kidnap Princess Garnet right?"
Zidane seemed just as tired of this meeting as I was.
 "You Bet!"
(There goes that loud fool again!)
 "You're gonna kidnap the most babe- licious beauty in all of Alexandria, Princess Garnet!"
I stood up and stretched, " And what am I supposed to do?"
 Baku looked at me for a second before answering, " You can wait backstage 'till the whole thing's over."
Ha! Wait backstage!? I don't think so!
 "Hey no fair! Can't I help Zidane!? Please!?"
After a bit of begging, he finally agreed, "Fine, but don't screw up!"
 "Oh, and I'll need a weapon…"
Baku Oh-So-Noisy cocked an eyebrow at me, "Ya mean ya don't have one?"
 "If I had one, I wouldn't be asking for one now would I?"
 "Here, use this," Zidane tossed me one of his daggers, "I can manage with only one for a while."
 I couldn't believe it; Zidane Tribal was letting me use one of his daggers! I almost melted on the spot, but tried to keep cool.
 "Thanks," I managed to say while sitting back down.
 "Don't mention it," he replied simply.
The Prima Vista finally docked, but I had a bit of stage fright. Sure I didn't have a huge role, I didn't even say anything, but still, being on stage is a pretty freaky thing! I had to change my outfit, sure the jeans were ok, but I needed a shirt that wouldn't stand out as much. Zidane showed me to where they had all the costumes and I picked out a white t-shirt and a light blue vest - which was a bit big on me- but it worked. I brushed my hair and pulled it back in a ponytail. Show time!

A/N: Wow, is it possible!? I wrote a long chapter!? Amazing! Now, review like you have never reviewed before!
