Before you advance the story, you might want to explore a little. Search the area south from where you start and the surrounding houses to find items wherever there is a "?" or "!" bubble. Most of what you find will be cards. Everyone in Alexandria town will be excited about an upcomming show, including Vivi who thinks he has himself a ticket. Find the ticket booth and talk to the guy to find out that the ticket is a fake. He will give Vivi some cards out of pity, and you will need to find a different way to catch the show. You can try the jump rope mini game if you want, all you need to do is push the button to jump right after you land. 20 Jumps will get you some Gil, 50 will get you a Sabotendar Card, 100 will get you a Samurai Card, and 200 will get you an Alexander Card (More ?).

Go down the alley to the left and talk to the rat child that comes along. He will steal the ladder when the guy using it walks away, just pick the first options when you are prompted. Follow him into the side of a building further down the alley and examine the fire place. Here you will meet Kupo, the first mogli on your journey. He will explain about the functions of the mogli, and allow you to save, use a tent, or use the mognet. He will also introduce you to his friend stiltskin, a brown spotted mogli who will allow you to buy sets of items in 3's when you meet him on your journey. Never pass up the chance, because you might not get another.

Try the Mognet and save if you want, then climb up the ladder. Take to the rat, then follow him to the right and walk across the little wooden plank. Follow him left and across another wodden plank (Don't worry, it's supposed to fall. You don't need to go back anyways). Follow him up, then you will finally be prompted to name Vivi. In case you can't remember, the 3rd option is for english letters, and the 5th option will confirm the name. I like using default names on Final Fantasy games. The rat will run off again, so you know what to do. Before you follow him, notice there are planks leading up. You can take that path first to find some Gil on the roof top, then go back and follow him across a few more planks. When he gets to the end of the roof, he will throw down the ladder and cross over to the castle. The scene switches over to the play, Brahne will be sitting there with a saddened Garnet, and Stiener standing guard, while Vivi and nezumi no ko watch from the back. There is a fireworks display, then the show will start.

Baku will be on stage, telling the story of 2 lovers named Markus and Coneria (Markus of course being one of Zidane's squad). Meanwhile Shina, Zidane, and Braunk are discussing what they must do. In a scene of the play, the 3 will run out onto the stage and do battle with Baku who is playing the king of the town who is holding Marcus and Coneria back. You will get into a battle, and you can play with each characters commands to try out some fake spells (Fida, Poly, Medeo instead of Fire, Holy, and Meteo) that will all do 0 damage, but are cool special effects. When you want, just take out the 2 guys on the sides first, then the King of Lea in the middle. The king will flee after about 300-400 points of damage, then walk up the stairs. At this point, Zidane runs after the king, but Braunk stops him and slashes. They swing and parry a few times from the top of the castle, then jump down to the isles where people are sitting and fight some more.

You will now play a little mini game, controlling Zidane. Basically you just have to push the button the game tells you to as fast as possible. You will be scored in the end that is based on how many commands you got through and how many you missed (My highest is 86 out of 100, but I could have got higher if I wanted to stay and retry. You can retry as many times as you want). The two will run off after the battle. When prompted, yes will let you retry, no will advance, and you will be payed a certain amount of Gil for your performance (For 86, I got 841). Braunk and Zidane will neat up two guards and steal the armor they ware. Blaunk will complain about the size of the armor, until Zidane reminds him about the mission. Before he leaves, Braunk drops a bouncy little creature, and laughs about his special present, then puts the creature with the two tied-up guards in the corner. At this point, you will beable to wander around a certain part of Alexandria Castle.
