Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy IX, so don't sue me!

A/N:  yea, yea, I know this has been done like a million times before, but now it's my turn! Mwahahahahaha! C'mon, we all knew I couldn't stay away from a fic like this for long! Plz R&R, I need to know how I'm doin' ya know? Thanx to everyone who's reading ^-^

 It was well past three in the morning, yet Jade lay awake in bed. It was not time to be sleeping, it was time to celebrate! She wanted to call her friends over to spend what was left of the night, order pizza, eat cake…unfortunately, adults just don't understand the importance of the 'five times mark.' That's right, Jade had beaten her FFIX game- from disk one to disk four- for the fifth time. She had played for hours until her eyes were so glossed over she was nearly blind. And as if that fifth victory wasn't enough, she had also unlocked the 'alternate ending' with the extra scene in the play.
 If she couldn't have a party, she'd at least think about her victory until she was sure her parents were no longer in 'pretend to be asleep so you can stop children from playing games in the middle of the night' mode.
 Finally, the time was right and she carefully pulled out the Playstation so as not to make any noise. She muted the T.V and grabbed her headphones and FFIX Original Soundtrack.
 She had beaten Necron and seen the end twice in a row now. Part of her wanted to go to sleep, while the other part needed to play.
 "Just one more time," she mumbled, "Just one more time…"

Unfortunately, she forgot that her parents woke up 'bright and early'-5 AM to be exact- and her gaming was cut short by her mother cutting the power to her T.V set.
 "Bed… Now."
Jade quickly scrambled to get into bed fearing what would happen if her dad came in… and he did.
 "Tomorrow, that thing goes away, for a week." He said indicating the Playstation.
Being to exhausted to argue, Jade tried to fall asleep, now being sure that parents were the root of all evil.
        -The Playstation was never turned off…

A/N: I know, very short chapter, it's what I'm known for I guess… but what better place to end ne? Anyway, plz review!
