You awoke the next morning in your bed in the Strife household. You stretched and then looked at the clock. 12:00...wait.

"Twelve?! I slept in till twelve o' clock?!" You yelled. After that little outburst you flung your hand over your mouth. There were other people here and they were probably wondering what you were yelling about. Rather than worry about how late you slept till you decided to get ready for the day. After going into the bathroom to shower and get changed and all of that other morning stuff, you headed downstairs.

"Morning [name]." Tifa said from behind the counter in the kitchen.

"Morning!" you chirped. You headed over to the fridge to grab an apple. You were never really known to eat much for breakfast or lunch. Usually you would get chewed out by your mom about eating more for your meals, but since she wasn't here you only grabbed an apple and a Gatorade.

"You know you should probably eat more than an apple for lunch." A voice you recognized as Cloud's said from behind you. You groaned.

"Man. I thought I wasn't gonna have to deal with someone calling me out on that since my mom wasn't here. But I guess that won't be happening." You said. It took Cloud a few seconds to realize you had just called him your mother.

"I am not acting like your mother!" Cloud defended. You gave a slight chuckle.

"Okay okay." You held your hands up in mock surrender before hoping off the counter and tossing your apple core into the trash. You headed towards the door when you were stopped again.

"You still haven't eaten anything else." He told you.

You turned around, "Okay if it makes you feel any better than I'll go get something while I'm out exploring." He sighed seeing how that was probably as close to getting you to eat more than he was gonna get. He handed you a wad of money. Luckily this place had the same kind of currency as earth. You thanked Cloud and walked out the door.

------------------------------------------

You were walking on the sidewalk when you walked into someone. You got up rubbing your butt.

"Sorry about that." You looked up to see Leon.

"Oh hey Leon!" You said.

"Well I have to go. Cya around [name]." Leon replied already walking off. Weird. He seemed to be in a hurry. He barely even talked to you. Oh well.

You continued walking for a while. You appeared to be in what was the center of town. You saw a small coffee shop across from you, and in that shop was Ven. He was working behind the counter top serving and chatting to the customers. You decided to stop by and maybe get some coffee while you were at it.

Ding Ding

As you walked in the chimes on the door made their tinkling sound. When you were little your mom and dad would always tell you that the sound of the chimes would mean a fairy was flying in and out of the store. You smiled at the thought of the good times when your family was whole.

“Hey, [name]. What can I get you today?” Ven asked with a smile playing on his lips.

“Hey Ven! Can I get a Mocha Cookie Crumble?” you asked with a smile.

“Sure, no problem!” Ven replied. You watched as Ven made you your order. Honestly it was very interesting watching what went into making your drink…wow. Did you really just say that? Ven placed your coffee down in front of you.

“So how are you liking it here in Radiant Gardens so far?” Ven asked you.

“It’s really nice. Very different from my old home. I’m still kinda exploring everything though.” You replied.

“Well if you want a tour guide feel free to ask. I’d love show you around sometime.” Ven offered.

“That’d be great! I’d really enjoy the company.” You smiled. “When do you get off work?”

“Just a little while from now actually if you’re okay waiting a bit longer than we can go.” He told you.

As you waited for Ven’s shift to end you chatted a little more with him while you were finishing up your drink. When he was busy you would people watch. It may sound creepy but you always found it fun to watch random people. It was something you would always do with your dad. You would have a contest to see who could find the most people doing the most embarrassing stuff. You were never super close to your mom so when your dad passed away it was really tough on you. You had to learn to try to get along with your mom even though you would butt heads a lot about things. You felt a tap on your shoulder.

“You ready to go?” Ven asked. You nodded and hopped off your stool.

“Where to first?” You asked.

“Wanna check out the mall?” Ven asked. You nodded your head vigorously. Even though Tifa had given you some of her old clothes you wanted something that was more your style. So with that decision made you and Ven headed off towards the mall.

A.N

Hey~ So sorry I haven’t updated in a while and that this chapter was kinda boring. I had hit some writer’s block and was doing a yearbook palooza thing for school. Please comment and vote! Hope you’re enjoying the story so far :/ Also I came across some spelling mistakes and stuff in previous chapter’s so I’m going to be fixing that. I also noticed that I made some of the character’s really OOC. Super sorry about that, but remember this is my story so I can make them how I want.
