{{trope}}
The [[The End of the World Asas We Know It|world ends]] tomorrow, but the [[Big Bad]] needs one extra night of planning to make sure everything goes [[All According to Plan|as smoothly as possible]] with their [[Earthshattering Kaboom]].
 
The heroes are [[Darkest Hour|battered and demoralized]] from their journey up until this point, and there is a very good chance that someone in the party will also be suffering from [[Heroic BSOD]].
 
Despite the fact the [[It Gets Worse|future ends tomorrow]], the heroes will always take this time to separate and visit loved ones, have [[You Can't Fight Fate|philosophical]] [[Screw Destiny|debates]], [[Lock and Load Montage|arm up]], or achieve the always popular [[Last -Minute Hookup]]. The latter activity can easily be [[Did They or Didn't They?|replaced]] depending on the [[You Don't Want to Die Aa Virgin, Do You?|characters]].
 
Often seasoned with [[The Apocalypse Brings Out the Best In People]] as they realize [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]].
Line 10:
Characters may also use this time to finish all of those [[Twenty Bear Asses|quests]] in order to get that [[Infinity+1 Sword|one weapon]].
 
Depending on the media, [['''The World Ends Tomorrow]]''' may last indefinitely until the heroes go to face the [[Big Bad]].
 
This trope always takes place immediately before the heroes choose to initiate the [[Final Battle]].

== [[Anime]] ==
* ''[[Summer Wars]]'': A space probe hijacked by a rogue AI is going to crash in ''two hours'', but the only people who have any idea how to stop it still take the time for a family meal together before doing anything. Because that's the way their recently departed grandmother would have wanted it.
 
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* A fairly standard cliche in [[Harry Potter]] fics is for Harry and his love interest of the week to have one last (or only) fling the night before the Final Battle, most often because they want [[Someone to Remember Him By|something to remember him by]] "just in case" or because Harry doesn't want to die without ever having felt loved.
