"[Name]! Get outta bed! We gotta get to the train station!"You groaned and rolled over in bed, ignoring Cloud's voice. Faintly you could hear Cloud's footsteps stop beside your bed before your covers were torn off of you. "Fine." You sighed, "I’m up." Cloud chuckled and closed the door on his way out of your room. You got up and quickly got ready for the day. After getting dressed you ran down the stairs."Yeah... ok... Really?..... That's great, alright I’ll see you later then." Cloud hung up his phone smiling. You sat down at the kitchen counter."Who was that?" You asked. "Angeal", Cloud answered before turning to Tifa and asking, "Guess who's coming back to Hollow Bastion."You leaned in and began listening to their conversation closely. Inconspicuously you lifted the cup of juice Tifa gave you and began to slowly drink."Who?" Tifa asked sipping her own cup of OJ. Cloud smiled as he said the name, "Auron."You began to choke on the little sip you had taken. Cloud began to beat on your back, but you waved him off. After calming down to the point where you could breathe again you asked happily, forgetting that you weren’t supposed to know who he was yet, "Auron's coming?!" "How do you know Auron [Name]?" Tifa asked as they both looked at you with curiosity. You opened your mouth stupidly but closed it again. You willed an excuse to come to mind quickly but got nothing."U-Uh well, i heard someone talk about him before...." Your voice trailed off and you scratched the back of your head.Cloud just shrugged it off and continued, "He's coming to take back his old job." Tifa let out a sigh of relief, "Thank Goodness." You slid out of your seat and onto your feet, grabbing a bagel to quiet your growling stomach. "What was his old job?" You asked. "Why don’t you tell us [Name]? Since you've heard so much about him?" Cloud smirked at you. Tifa rolled her eyes and answered, "Head of the police." Your eyes widened, "Really?!" Tifa continued, "After he left Rufus Shinra took over and trust me he has to be one of the worst cops in this town. He's absolutely awful. He accepts bribes and doesn’t care for the city at all, unlike Auron who really was all about protecting this town and its people." Cloud nodded, "But that wasn’t his only job." You looked from Tifa to Cloud and he continued, "He teaches martial arts part time. That's where most of the people you know learned to fight. Including Tifa and Me." Your eyes widened, "Really? I didn’t even know most of the people i know could fight. Including you Cloud." You smirked and he ruffled your hair. Tifa chuckled," I actually want you to take some lessons in self defense [Name]."You nodded, "Sure, it sounds like fun." Cloud looked at the time, "We're gonna have to leave soon, [Name] go make sure Ven and Roxas are up will ya?"You nodded and ran upstairs. Without knocking you walked into the open door. Ven was snoring lightly in his bed while Roxas was up and dressed staring out his room window. "Roxas?" He jumped slightly and turned to you, "[N-Name]?" You smiled, "Cloud wanted me to check on you two, we're leaving soon." "Alright, hey will you wake Ven for me I have to...do something." Roxas said as he looked out the window once more and ran out. You shrugged and went over to Ven's bed. "Ven?" You shook him lightly, but he just turned over. "Ven!!" You said a little louder. He ignored you again. That was when something caught your eye. With a growing smirk on your face you walked over to their dresser where there was a little red air horn. You stood back a little from Ven's bed and prepared your ears for the loud noise that would soon erupt from the air horn. You pushed down on the button as the loud wailing sound shot out of the can. Ven yelled and fell out of his bed onto the ground. You burst out laughing and dropped the air horn. He glared up at your smirking face."Morning sleepy head have a nice night?" You asked."I’m gonna get you [Name]!" He jumped up starting you. After a brief laugh you raced out the door towards the kitchen, Ven was on your heels. After reaching the kitchen you hid behind Cloud giggling."Hey! What was that upstairs?" Cloud asked Ven sternly. Ven's jaw dropped, "I’m the victim right now Cloud it was her!" Cloud looked back at your innocent face, and replied sarcastically, "[Name]? No way not her." "She woke me up with an air horn!" Ven said accusingly. Cloud crossed his arms, "You should've been up in the first place anyways." Ven looked at you and you stuck your tongue out at him. He chuckled and shook his finger at you. He began to walk up the stairs shaking his head, "Im gonna get you later [Name]. Just you wait." "Your lucky! If it was me getting you up i would've used the water bucket!" Cloud shouted after him. After Ven was out of sight Cloud turned around and lifted his hand up, you high fived him. "But really next time try the water bucket, it's hilarious." The two of you laughed at Ven's expense.

"Where's everybody else?" You asked looking around. Tifa, Roxas and Ven stood beside you. "I don’t know." Tifa murmured."There they are", Ven said pointing across the train station to a large group of people. "How do you know it's them I can barely see them." You asked squinting towards the mass of people.Ven sighed and looked at you, "Trust me, you can see Reno and Axel's hair a mile away." He pointed and you could see a small flash or bright red, you laughed and Ven chuckled. "I’m surprised Axel's already here." Roxas murmured. "Why?" You asked as you all began to walk towards your friends. Roxas's surprised face made you feel like maybe you weren't supposed to hear him say that. "O-oh well-" Roxas began but the engineer came over the intercom, "3 minutes till the train leaves, passengers please wait for the riders leaving the train to exit before boarding." Tifa gasped," Come on!" She began to run and Roxas and Ven followed. You tried to catch up with them but the rush of people leaving the train blocked you.You tried to push your way through before crashing over someone's bag and beginning to fall towards the floor. You shielded your face for the impact that never came. "You should be more careful [Name]." Angeal said lifting you up. Cloud rolled his eyes at you and Cid chuckled. "What are you guys doing?" You asked Cid, Cloud and Angeal. "What part of Auron's coming this morning didn’t you get [Name]?" Cloud said shaking his head at you. A small smile played at his lips."Well excuse me, I forgot!" You said putting your hands on your hips. Cloud nodded and ruffled your hair and pulled you into a one armed hug, "Yeah well are you ok?" You nodded and punched him in the gut lightly, "Yeah Yeah, now let go I have to go say bye to Yuna and them before they leave!" He chuckled and released you, you ran towards where Tifa and the others had ran off to. You waved a brief good-bye to Angeal and Cid behind you. You were panting by time you got towards the large group of people and the train had started to roll away. "No!" You said stomping your foot, you had missed saying bye to Yuna, KK and Paine. "What was that?" Zack asked wrapping an arm around your shoulders. "Shut up." You sighed in bitter disappointment."I’m sorry [Name]." Tifa said tearing Zack's arm off you and glaring at him. "They said they'd miss you and to be careful." You sighed," Be careful of what?"Tifa's eyes looked around to all the guys and back to you, "I'm sure you'll figure it out." Sora said, "Hey lets go do something!" Leon shook his head at his brother, "We have to wait for the kids who are gonna take Yuna, KK and Paine's place." Sora groaned and everyone found a place to sit and relax.You sighed and sat down beside Sora. "I’m sorry you didn’t get to say bye [Name]." You shrugged, "They'll only be gone for the summer, but i feel bad about it." Sora nodded. He gave you a warm smile and asked, "Wanna get a snack with me?" "Sure." You replied with a soft smile. You both got up and walked towards a small area where they sold candy and soda. "One Monster and.." He looked to you for you to order. "[]." You answered. The man got both and you took it happily. You reached into your pocket for some of the munny Tifa lent you, but Sora stopped you and paid for it himself. "Thanks Sora." He shook his head, "No problem!" You glanced at his drink choice cautiously, "Are you sure you should drink that?" He took a big sip of the sugary energy drink and sighed in happiness, "Yupp." You both began to walk back where everyone else was.Roxas was standing up looking around the entire train station. He didn't even notice you until you said, "Hey Roxas." He looked at you and smiled, but then returned to looking around, "Hey [Name]." "What are you looking for?" You asked. Roxas smiled and pointed at something, "That. Come on." He dragged you with him towards a cute little ice cream stand. It was a small white cart with a purple and silver umbrella."Two Sea salt ice cream's please." Roxas ordered. The man nodded and pulled out two from his little cart. Roxas paid the man and gave you one. You thought happily. "I know it sounds weird but try it, it's amazing." Roxas reassured you.You took an excited bite and laughed at the conflicting flavors if sweet and salty. You giggled, "It's amazing, thanks Roxas." Roxas nodded and gave you a smile as sweet as the ice cream you were eating.You turned to look at who you could sit with when someone yelled behind you, "Boo!" You jumped and yelped earning a few odd looks from some others. Ven burst into a fit of laughter behind you. Without hesitation you spun around and punched him in the arm playfully. "That wasn’t funny." He shook his head, "You're right.""Really?" You asked with a smile."Yeah, it was hilarious!" Ven began to laugh loudly again. You crossed your arms and smirked, "I'm gonna tell Cloud." Ven looked at you and shrugged, "So what?" You put on the saddest look on your face that you could fake and made a crying noise, "Cloud, Ven was being mean to me." Ven's eyes widened. He knew his older brother had a soft spot for you, "You wouldn’t." You smirked and began to walk away triumphantly. "I was joking! [Name]! [Name]!!" Ven yelled chasing after you.Zexion sat on the bench reading a book. "Hey." You said sitting beside him. He closed his book and smiled at you, "Hi." You looked at the book, "What are you reading?" He gave the book to you to look at, " [Y]." You gasped, "I love this book! It's so good isn't it!?" He nodded and smiled at your excitement. "It is." You looked at the book to him and smiled.You walked up behind Leon and jumped on his back. Leon startled some but then hung onto your legs so you wouldn't fall."[Name]?" He asked smirking. "How'd you know?" You asked looking at him from over his shoulder. "Well, Sora grew out of jumping on my back when he was 10." You giggled, "Sorry!" Leon smiled, "It's fine. I don’t mind." You smiled widely, "Really? So I can stay? Because I really don’t feel like standing." Leon chuckled, "Then why don't you go sit?" You shrugged, "I wanna hang out with you. You wanna sit with me?" He smiled and nodded, "I'd like that."You lightly shoulder checked Riku, "Oh whoops didn’t see you there." "Oh really", Riku asked. Your face was still turned away from him. He pecked you on your opposite cheek, you spun around to look at him quickly with a red face and wide eyes."See me now?" He chuckled. You giggled and nodded, "I guess so."You ran by Terra and grabbed his hand dragging you with him. He chuckled, "What are you doing?" You shrugged, "It's a spur of the moment idea!" You dragged him all the way to the train directory. "What are we doing here?" He asked. You were looking at where all the trains went. "I wanna see where all these trains go." Every time your eyes passed a town you recognized your face lit up. You announced, with much enthusiasm, "I wanna go to all of them!"Terra smiled, "I'll go with you." You smiled at him, "Really?!" He nodded with a smile, "Of course. Every single one of them. I promise.""[Name]!" Demyx called you over to a large water fountain. You ran over, "Wow!" The water fountain was large and beautifully decorated with white marble bricks and figurines. "Check this out." He began to make the water dance into different shapes. Some animals, music notes, and others, but the last one he shaped into a perfect heart and set it into your hand. It didn't break but stood in your hand perfectly. "It’s beautiful Demy!" You gushed. "Not near as beautiful as you." He replied with a smile.You sat down next to Reno and laid your head on his shoulder. "Well hi there." He said happily, wrapping his arm around you. "Hey Reno." You giggled. "What are you doing?" He asked. You shrugged, "Just enjoying the moment.. and the view." You glanced over the empty train tracks towards where the sun was high in the sky and a few white clouds were scattered around it beautifully. Reno looked down at you, "Yeah so am I."Someone ran up behind you and swept you off your feet into a bridal position. "Axel!" You yelled knowing the one person who would pick you up like that. You wrapped your arms around his neck so you wouldn't fall. "I’d never drop you [Name], Got it memorized?" You looked up at him and smiled. Then you reached up and brushed your fingers against the side of his face, "Did you get a tan?" Axel chuckled, "I guess you could say that."You sat down in his lap and fake yawned. You grinned happily, "Wow what a comfortable seat!" He chuckled and snaked his arms around your waist. "[Name], as much as i love having you right here. I think Tifa would throw me in front of a train." Your eyes went over to where Tifa was glaring at you, but mostly Zack. You chuckled and tried to slide next to him, but he kept you in place. "Hey i didn’t say it wasn’t worth the risk."Everyone crowded towards the platform as the train came into view. People began to file out one by one when three guys came out and walked towards our group. Your jaw dropped open at the sight of them.'Really?!' You thought. Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo walked towards you a few bags in their hands, 'No way'. "Do you know Yuna, KK and Paine?" Kadaj asked Tifa. Tifa nodded, "You must be Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo right?" They nodded and introduced themselves properly. Axel nudged you, "Attack of the Riku clones." You nudged him back shaking your head and stifling a laugh. They turned their attention to you. "Why Hello." Kadaj said and offered his hand to you. You shook it, "Hi I’m [Name]." He kissed your hand and you blushed a light pink, "It’s a pleasure to meet you."Axel pulled you away by your shoulders so you stood behind him, "Never mind, i like Riku better now." Riku glared at Axel before returning his attention back to the trio where everyone else's attention was also at. "I’m sorry is she your girlfriend?" Yazoo asked. "NO!" Everyone but you and Axel yelled. You blushed and shook your head with a small giggle. Axel glared at them all and replied back, "Hey!"Kadaj nodded and smirked at you with his cat like eyes. You looked away blushing. Tifa clapped her hand, "Well, let’s go to the Seventh Heaven. We can get to know Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz a little better and have some fun!" Tifa began to lead the way and everyone followed. You stayed close to Tifa and kept Yuffie right behind you in hopes that she could shield you from Kadaj's penetrating gaze. You couldn't shake the feeling that he was not someone to be friends with.

Roxas ran out of his room and down the stairs. He avoided being seen by Tifa and Cloud. Axel was unbelievable sometimes. Just unbelievable. With a sigh he ran out onto his back porch towards the middle of his backyard where Axel sat in a lounge chair shirtless. "Hey Roxy, Funny seeing you here." Axel said. He kept his arms tucked under his head and his eyes closed.Roxas glared at Axel, "Axel you’re unbelievable." Axel sat up and slid on a pair of black sunglasses that had been tucked away in his short pockets. "Awe thanks Roxy, you’re not that bad yourself, but I prefer women. [Name] specifically." Roxas sighed, "Just get outta my lawn before i call the cops." Axel raised his hand, "I already bribed Rufus a week ago for anything I might accidentally, or purposely, do. I'm good till next Saturday." Roxas walked over and ripped Axel sunglasses off throwing them across his yard. "Yikes Roxas chill out man I'm just working on my tan." Roxas pointed at your bedroom window, "Outside of [Name]'s room without your shirt!?" Axel looked up at your room window, "Oh that’s HER room? My bad Roxy. I didn't know. Got it Memorized?" Axel smirked. Roxas continued to glare at Axel, "I'll give you 20 seconds until I go get Cloud, got that memorized?" Axel got up and threw his hands up in defeat, "Ok Ok geez what’s your problem?"Roxas shook his head and walked back inside. He looked back to make sure the red head really was leaving.

Cloud watched you run off with a smile playing on his lips."Was that Marlene? I didn't think I was gone that long." A familiar voice asked. Normally hearing his dead sister’s name would throw him off, but he's been getting better and besides he missed the voice that said the name too much. "Auron!" Cloud said happily. He shook Auron's hand, but Auron's eyes still watched where you had run off. "You old bat are ya losing your eyesight? Did that look like Marlene to you?" Cid asked with a wide smirk. Auron tore his gaze away from where you had run off to Cid. He smirked and shook Cid's hand, "You're not too far behind me Cid. I wouldn't talk." Auron shook Angeal's hand next. "We missed you old friend." Cid said. "Was that her?" Auron asked again. Angeal coughed awkwardly and Cid looked away. "Auron, Marlene and my mom passed away around a year ago." Cloud answered quietly. Auron's eyes widened in shock, "I'm sorry Cloud I didn't know. I just assumed.." Auron paused then continued, "I've never seen you so comfortable around someone like that other then Marlene, your mom, and Tifa." Cloud nodded, "That was [Name]. She's new, kinda." Cid nodded and looked at you from a distance, "She's a beaut ain’t she?" Auron nodded silently in agreement.
