*Cloud POV*
I was taking a walk. The people of Midgar said it was going to rain soon, so I took the chance to shake off my burdens. But while I walked down the side of the life steam, I noticed a girl with pink-haired floating in it. "Hey!!" I yelled at her, but she didn't respond. She's probably unconscious, I thought to myself.
I slid down the side and my feet landed in the life stream. I never intended to actually go in the life stream. The girl continued to lie there, and I grabbed her arm and wrapped it around my neck. There was only one place I could take her; my home in the church. My feet desperately stomped up the dirt.
When I finally reached the top, I noticed my motorcycle. I put the girl on the back, and I hopped on the front. My best guess is she didn't want tor fall off, so I wrapped her arms around my waist. I drove off towards the Midgar Slums.

We finally reach my home. I carried the girl in on my back. When we got inside, I set her in the yellow flowers. That would probably be peaceful when she wakes up.

*Lightning POV*
I woke up in a strange place. The only thing I could remember was... nothing. My memories were blank, as if I never existed. Is this a dream? Where am I?
"Finally awake, I see," a voice says, and I turn my head side to side. I didn't see anyone, but someone walks right up to me. It's a boy with blonde hair and black clothes. "W-who are you?!" I stuttered. "Who am I?" The boy gives me a confused look.
"Do you know me?!" I ask. The boy sighs, then says, "I don't know you, but my name is Strife. Cloud Strife." He held out his hand. I gripped it hard and pulled myself up. "What's in the bag?" He asks, pointing at the bag on my back. I shrug, pull it off my back, and zip it open.
Inside, there's a strange sword and a uniform. Are these mine? It doesn't really matter. "Is there a place where I can change?" I question. Cloud leads me to a private place to change, and I quickly do. I place the sword in the sheath attached to the back.
I go back in the church and place the backpack on one of the benches. Cloud comes up to me and says, "Ready to go?"
"Go where?" I curiously asked. "To Midgar," Cloud told me. I don't know where Midgar is, so I shrugged and jumped on the back of his bike. He jumped on the front, and placed some glasses on his face. The engine started, and we went off.
"If you don't know me, why was I with you?" I asked as Cloud drove down a dirt path. "I found you in the life stream," he explained. "I'm not the kind of guy who leaves women alone if they're unconscious." The life stream is something else I didn't know about. After a trip of awkward silence, we arrived at Midgar.
"That's strange," I told myself. Turns out Cloud heard me. "What's strange?" He asked. "Well, wherever I came from... it was warm, just like it is here," I explained. Cloud shook his head.
"What?" I stated. He just kept shaking his head. We walked around town until it got dark. As the sun set, a man with blonde hair and glasses approached us. He wore a dark robe and held a variety of guns and swords.
"Who're you?" He asked. "Cloud Strife, and who would you be?" Cloud shot back. "The name is 4K," the blonde guy said. "How come your name is 4K?" I stepped up. "That's how many monsters I plan to kill," 4K explained. "I've already killed 1,023."
I nodded my head, and the 4K stepped forward. "I'll be on my way, bye for now," he said. 4K walked away in the direction the wind was blowing. What a strange guy.
