At this point, you can head east into the bar, and find another potion, a Flan card, and 27{{FF9/G}}. Leave the bar and head north, then enter the item shop to the east and search around for 38{{FF9/G}}. At this point, you can stock up on a few simple items if you would like. Leave the item shop and head north to find the square with the ticket booth. | At this point, you can head east into the bar, and find another potion, a Flan card, and 27{{FF9/G}}.

In this area, you can find a Phoenix Pinion, near the entrance to the Inn. Out front of the inn there will also be three girls jump roping. You can get some great prizes from them for winning, but it is extremely challenging to complete. The best way to get some good prizes is try and keep a beat going between Vivi's feet and pressing the {{psx|X}} button. The rope will get faster and faster at each prize level, but at 200 it becomes a weird pattern, so turn the volume up and listen to Vivi's feet to figure it out. At 300 the timing will go back to normal but very fast. You also have another chance at this game later on when you come back to Alexandra.

At this point you'll be in control of Zidane's party again. This time, though, you're performing a battle on stage, and you have an SFX option in your battle menu to set off special effects. The special effects don't do any damage, but they look good, and that's important when you're putting on a show. Your targets won't take much damage to go down, anyway (which is good, because the showy attacks you're using here won't do much damage anyway). | At this point you'll be in control of Zidane's party again.
