PROJECT D

This story is based on a dream i had recently, though i have edited it somewhat to make sense. I might also add that this fic may not make sense at times. I shall do my best to explain what the hell is happening from my first person

perspective, and hope you enjoy it, WELCOME TO MY MIND!!!!!!!!!!! (Thunder and lightning flases in background along with a VERY high pitched scream, and exploding donuts. Do'nt ask.)

Chapter One

Life is an interesting thing, the only bad thing about it being the large number of ways for it to end abruptly. It throws all kinds of curveballs and exploits countless loopholes, throwing all kinds of odd things at us. Sometimes, if one looks hard

enough, it even seems to have a sense of humour.

Some may call that silly nonsense, but after my most recent expereinces i must disagree. I am a fourteen going on fifteen year old male human, obviously. I live in a comfortable little duplex and even now am planning how to suprise my

dad with the knowledge that i was able to turn the computer on when he, the computer expert of the family, could not. Still that is not the focus of this tale. I have brown hair, somewhat messy though i think it looks fine.

I am a bit tall for my age and go by the name of David Mckee. A while back i had a most excellent adventure, and i have watched the bill and ted movies recently if you are wondering.

It started a while back, i had been pacing about quite bored, mainly because the computer was'nt working, which is also a reason why i was unable to post for a time on a certain website. Again however that is not the focus of my story,

and no my name is not Tidus, nor am i related to Tidus. Suddenly a blast of swirling green light ripped across my vision! I was caught in the flash of green light that pulled me into it, i had trouble breathing but managed it. That is all i remember about how i arrived. I awoke in a bed inside a small room.

The room was somewhat old fashioned, but cozy. A window was on one side of the room and i was drawn to it, i moved out of the bed and across the room. Outside was trees, lots of trees, tall green trees with grass growing around them.

Light forced its way through the canopy and i was definetely at the edge of the forest, at least i thought it was a forest, because i could see a town in the distance. "Where the hell am i?" I asked myself. I was'nt sure, though something

about that town seemed familiar.

I raised my eyes aboove the town to see tall jagged and barren mountains sticking high into the sky. The peaks were spikes of rock, masive and very intimidating. They gave off a feeling that almost seemed to say "Stay away."

I took a step back from the window as i realized exactly what those mountains looked like. I turned my eyes back to the town where i searched carefully with my eyes for a certain something. "Impossible." I muttered to myself. It was there,

just as i had thought. A large platform that looked like it had once contained a rocket, a large one. "No way." I said somewhat loudly, there was no way this was real. Yet there was the evidence, Rocket town and the Nibel mountains.

The only way to explain that was to say i had somehow been transported into the world of FinalFantasy7. I thought that i must be hallucinating! A sharp pinch on my arm confirmed my being awake, feeling a bit weak in the knees

i walked to the bed and quickly sat down a million thoughts racing through my head.

"Hey you're awake!" Someone said to my right. I turned to the door and saw a man with hedgehog like hair and a SOLDIER outfit. A massive sword hung across his back, and he had a cheerful smile on his face as he leaned against the doorframe.

I recognized both the person, and the sword. It was the Buster sword, and the person weilding it was Zack Fair. I found myself unable to think of anything to say other than "Zack?" He tilted his head slightly frowning as he did.

"Have we met?" He asked.

Thinking quickly i replied "No." He smiled playfuly as he asked "Then how do you know my name?" That was a bit harder to anwser. "I know you're reputation, you're a First class SOLDIER." I explained, hoping that he would drop it.

I really wanted to know how i had gotten here. Whether or not i was insane was also a question i wanted anwsered.

Zack frowned as he looked directly into my eyes, which i quickly turned away. He must have seen my confusion because he said "Were in my house about twelve miles outside of rocket town, though there is'nt a rocket there any more.

I'm something of a hermit, and i quit SOLDIER six years ago."

I frowned as i gained this information. If he was telling the truth he should have been dead at least a year ago, and the sword on his back should still be in Cloud's possesion. "How did i get here?" I asked, though had been meaning to ask

something more along the lines of "Has METEOR struck yet?" However that would be a bad thing to ask, because if it had'nt then Zack would want to know what METEOR was, and how i knew about it.

"Do'nt know, i was hoping you could tell me, i just found you unconcious during my daily walk." Zack told me.

I thought of speaking more, but opted instead to look at the floor and try to arrange my thoughts. Zack must have snensed my desire to be left alone because he exited the room closing the door behind him.

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

I spent the day trying to figure out what the hell was going on. Zack was kind enough to offer me some tea and soup, which seemed to be the only thing he knew how to cook. Either way i was locked in a state of confusion.

I was in FF7.

How did it happen? Why did it happen? More importantly, how was Zack still alive and how did he have the Buster sword? I had no idea. It was frustrating to say the least, and i was not liking it. I did'nt feel like talking and he respected that,

for a few hours. He came into the room i was using in the early evening and politely asked "So where do you come from?" I looked up quickly having been suprised by the sudden talking.

"Midgar." It came out almost as if the word had its own mind, and before i could stop myself i said "I used to live in the sector five slums."

Zack nodded as he sat down. "Whats the last thing you remember before popping up." He asked cheerfuly. I felt like throwing something at him, i did'nt care what just as long as he stopped smiling. "Not Likely." I thought to myself.

"I remember a sort of swirly green vortex just came out of nowhere." I said.

He nodded thoughtfully, not what i expected. A thought popped into my head, the best way to get a general idea of what part of the FF7 timeline i was dealing with. "Why did you quit SOLDIER?" Zack looked up at the question.

"Well i suppose it started when my superior, Sephiroth, kinda went insane and destroyed a whole town, and nearly me. The company decided that all the witnesses had to be delt with in order to protect

Shinra's good name, and i was a witness. But i escaped with a freind of mine named Cloud, who'se rather famous for being the leader of AVALANCHE." I nodded, well that cleared that up.

It was ironic, i had always wanted into this world, and now that i was here i found it to be very frustrating, mainly because i was confused as confused got. I sat back in deep thought. Zack watched me closely, i was'nt entirely sure he trusted

me.

Finally he got up walked to the door turned and said "Hey, dinners almost ready, care to join me?" I stood silently and followed him to the table.
