A/N: sorry it's taken so long, here's ch 14!                                 

                                            **** Jade's P.O.V ****

 I began to regain consciousness a while later… well, actually for all I knew it could have been hours later, but I felt cold, which was a good sign. I had to be back in the game! My hands were numb and I tried to push myself up into a sitting position… but I wasn't in the cavern…
 I quickly looked around my surroundings, I didn't recognize it at all. I was in some sort of room, and there were four little beds, and a bookshelf in one corner.
 "Where am I…?" Maybe I would have known sooner if my head wasn't spinning, and I could actually see things right.
 I stared blankly around the room, trying to focus my eyes, and could hear voices in the next room.
 "Whaddya think it is?"
 "Princess! Please don't touch it, it could be dangerous!"
 "I-It made a sound…"
I stood up, stumbled a bit, and worked my way over to the door. I opened it to find everyone standing by… well, I couldn't tell what it was from where I was standing, but Vivi was leaning over it. I moved closer and found exactly what had caused the upset, my CD player.
 I blinked and started laughing. "It's just a CD player, why's it sucha big deal?"
(Oh wait, they don't have CDs on Gaia…)
  "It's a wha…?"
I sighed, "A CD player, it kind of like… a music box, lemme show ya."
 I grabbed for my V6 CD, which was in the little bag next to the player, popped it in, and hit play. I handed Vivi the headphones and told him to put them on his head.
 Soon, everyone was passing it around listening to various songs, when I asked what happened.
 "So how'd I get here anyway? I don't remember walking…"
Zidane stood up, "You passed out, I had to carry you here."
 I couldn't help blushing a little, but tried to ignore it, "Oh… well, what's next?"
I asked trying to change the subject.
 "(We'll discuss that when Rusty ain't around ok?)"
I nodded, "Sure, I'm gonna look around a bit, so I'll be back later." I waved and headed out the door.

 I wanted to look around as much as possible- to absorb everything. It was still hard to believe I was here. "In my game…" I mumbled absently.
 I headed into the weapons shop, even though I had wanted to save the Gil I had pocketed from before for a shopping spree in Lindblum.
 (I won't spend it all,) I thought, (I'll just browse for a bit.)
A large display of swords of all sizes was on the wall; I instantly grabbed for the Gil in my pocket, but thought better of it and let go. Everything was so captivating, the designs on the swords, the colors and varieties of accessories and different kinds of potions. The kind of stuff you'd never see on Earth.
 Before I could spend too much time looking around I heard someone approaching the shop, and realizing it had to be Dagger, I scrambled to get out.
 "Oh, Jade!"
Too late…
 "Hi." I grunted and tried to walk past her.
 "Wait a moment," She seemed unnervingly cheery, "would you show me around?"
Oh god… this was going to be SOOO much fun - -;
 "I really have to get back to the inn-"
 "It'll only take a second, I'm just not used to walking around a town alone."
 Why me? Oh God, why me?
 "I can't, I-"
 "Please?"
 "Fine." I grunted and leaned against the wall.
 "Is something wrong Jade?"
 "I'm fine." I stared up at the ceiling trying to avoid eye contact, maybe then she'd shut up; I guess today wasn't my lucky day.
 "Jade, what are these?" she sat staring intently at the various arm guards and such.
 "Ask the shop owner." I said flatly.
After a while Zidane came in- thank god!
 "Thought I'd find you here." He said turning to me.
 "Thank god you're here," I whispered, "she's driving me crazy! Can we get outta here?"

I noticed Zidane wasn't paying any attention to me; he was too busy watching Dagger look back and forth at some items.
 I grunted trying to draw attention to myself, to no avail and finally decided to leave.
 "Yeah, whatever," I mumbled, "I'm goin' out…"
I walked to the inn door, but then decided to head to another shop. I headed to the pub, a little girl was scurrying around trying to clean the place up.
 "Hi," I said and casually sat down.
 "I'm sorry, we're not open yet. Or would you like to buy some medicine?"
 "Actually," I mused, "I was wondering if you had any rope, chains'd also work."
 "Rope?" the little girl seemed confused by my request, but then answered, " I think we might have some in the back, hold on."
 She returned carrying a handful of ropes. "Will these do?"
 "Yeah, thanks." I guess I looked pretty stupid fumbling around with the Gil in my pocket, but I finally got the right amount and walked out.
 "This is gonna be fun!" I headed for the town entrance; made sure I still had the dagger in my belt loop, and walked out.

A/N: Ok, I know it was short, but I'm battling both a cold, and writer's block, so don't kill me! Anyway, what's she gonna do with ropes? And how will she ever survive out there with monsters all alone? Will she make it out alive??? And will I ever stop asking stupid questions? *cue suspense music*  Find out NEXT TIME! Mwahahahahaha- *choking* koff koff I'm gonna shut up now ^_^'' please R&R!
