Prologue

You would think it was a normal day. Perfect blue sky, birds chirping, hot sun and all that clichéd stuff. This was, however, not a normal day. I sat in my room bored out of my mind when the sudden urge to play final fantasy 12 poked at me. I had played the game at least three times before and my knowledge of the plot structure would come in very handy I realised later.

The light orchestrated music filled my room with a happy vibe. The familiar cut scene of Ashe's wedding played on the screen, cute moogles and colourful chocobos danced and strutted across the screen.

Absent minded, I wondered what a moogles fur felt like, probably like a mouses.

*bzz Ashelia bssshsh bzzz*

Turning back to the screen it was apparent that the PlayStation had frozen. Smashing the side was my usual course of action but it wasn't working this time. It was the strangest frozen screen I had ever seen. The screen was fixed on a blue sky, but instead of being dead on the screen the clouds appeared to move with a non-existent breeze. My second option was readjusting some wires in the back. Holding the side of the screen I was going to touch the wires when I noticed my fingers had gone completely through the screen.

"The hell!" I muttered.

Most people would either

A) Run the hell away or

B) Turn off the TV

But me I took that option C which was to sit there sticking my head in and out of the screen like an idiot looking around. Everything was sky so I had no idea where this rabbit hole lead.

"What are we going to do now Alice?" I asked myself

I thought about it. If this black hole lead to Rabanastre, I would be able to see the man of my dreams. Quickly I grabbed my trusty "Jimmy Choo" and filled it with a shirt and pants. Double taking I then decided to add my iPhone and speakers.

Taking the deepest breath I gently slid my body into the screen and presently started falling.

I had no time to scream before I landed with a sickening thud on the pavement in the Muthru bazaar. All I could remember before I passed out was questioning shouts and screams from Humes and all other manner of things. Of course for me there was no graceful land or magical floating it was all flailing around like a dying chicken before almost killing myself.

My eyesight dimming a boyishly handsome blonde came into view.

"Vaan." I whispered

Vaan is a very compassionate person and was the first person to come to my aid, forcing what the few potions he had down my throat, trying to revive me.
I heard him shout for help before I woke up 3 hours later to lying on a very cold floor I had been wearing a short skirt and baggy shirt which whilst very nice looking offered no protection against the floor.

"Ugh my legs" I groaned sitting up

"You're awake good I thought you would die" Vaan replied in a happy voice sitting down next to me.

I turned to face him. Looking up into his face I saw pain. The game could never do justice to what I saw etched in his eyes. I saw death and loss so forceful it made me want to cry. Vaan was a better "person than the game could do justice.

Shaking my head I asked, "Where am I?"

"I took you to Old Dalan's place I'm Vaan …..Uh I'm sorry I didn't catch your name?" Vaan replied

"Ella or Bunny and you mean Old Dalan's place in lowtown" I asked again

"Well yea where else did you think he was" he said whilst sounding muddled

"Lowtown in Rabanastre?" I asked again

Obviously confused he nodded again.

I think it was the shock of confirming I was in a video game that made me pass out.

"Nice to meet you Vaan" I said before I lost consciousness again.
