Watch What You Wish For. It Might Just Come True

Disclaimer: Uh, I only own my INSPIRON 2200 that I am writing this on, along with myself. Oh, and you can't forget my Final Fantasy VII game along with the strategy guide. But yeah, that's about it.

Haphazard Moments

I yawned as I pulled into my driveway, putting my car into park and then turning it off. Teaching those kids was like trying to teach Missy, one of my dogs, to not follow you around… Which was basically impossible. Those damn high school girls didn't know the meaning of respect…

Oh sorry. I'm just pissed that my coaching job isn't working out like I wanted it to. I had hoped that when I went to practice today the girls would have been ready for me and hyped about learning the right way to throw a javelin… but nooooo… those damn girls just had to glare at me and whisper things while I was trying to show and tell them what to do.

So here I am, walking up the steps towards my door, my key in my hand. "Please, oh please let mom have put the dogs either back in my room or in the basement," I mumbled, unlocking the door.

My first hint that my mother hadn't done as I had asked her was from the clicking of claws on hardwood floor. I winced as I opened my door, only to be tackled by my husky. He quickly started licking my face, and as my other dogs tried to get near me, especially Missy, the youngest, he growled low in his throat.

I pushed him off of me, standing and trying in vain to shut the door. After succeeding in doing that one little victory, I threw my keys on the table sitting there, sighing. At once my dogs quickly backed away from me, my husky sitting right down. I looked at them, feeling saddened, "Guys, I don't think the job is going to work out. They won't even listen to me." I started walking towards the kitchen, opening the fridge and pulling out a bottle of water, "How am I supposed to teach them when they won't listen?"

My dogs whimpered, and I smiled lightly, "But hey, at least all of you are here, right?" They yipped lightly, and I pointed towards the basement, "Alright, discussion over, go to your respectful areas! That's an order, SOLDIERS!" I laughed as they sat down and held their heads high, as if proud at the rank I had given them before they all, except for my husky, slipped and skidded towards the basement steps. I laughed lightly and shook my head as I heard them thumping down the steps. I then looked down at the husky almost glued to me, "Axel, what do you say to a round of Final Fantasy VII, eh? We've still got some time before we both have to go in for work…"

Axel barked at me, jumping to his feet and then up on his hind legs before coming down and running towards my room. I shook my head and slowly followed him. As I made it to my room, Axel was sitting on the floor, holding the controller of my PS3 in his mouth. His tail was wagging anxiously, and I laughed at him, taking the controller and turning on the PS3.

"Axel, you an' me, we go way back, don't we boy?" I asked, scratching behind his left ear, causing him to whimper in pleasure and close his eyes. I then frowned, causing Axel to whip open his eyes and look at me. I sighed, "Why is it that my family just leaves me out of their summer vacation? I mean, I know that they want to disown me, but seriously, I'm flesh and blood…" Axel nudged my hand, his eyes holding sadness that he knew too well. I shook my head, "Man, to think, Axel, what would it be like to live there? Help the planet? Fight Shinra and defeat Sephiroth… I might actually be respected there, have someone who cares for me."

I watched as the logo for the game showed up, and I quickly selected a new game when it asked. I had completed the game many times, done it different ways, and I just wished to play some to relieve some stress.

Axel huffed as he lay down, his ears going forward as he turned his head to look at me. I knew that look anywhere. It was his signal for me to use him as a pillow. I nodded and lay back on him, my head laying on his side. I smiled, "Hey Axel, life would be better there, wouldn't it?" He huffed and nudged my face before closing his eyes.

I smirked slightly, snuggling down even more into his hold, "You're right, it might be, or it might not be." I then laughed, "Who would have thought, nine years after this game came out I would still play it because it was my favorite game?" Axel looked up at me, his eyes sparkling slightly, and I laughed, "You're right, Axel, that was also the day that I brought you home!"

Axel tilted his head into the air, sniffing slightly. I froze in my place, sensing something wrong. And then it hit me. A scent that caused me to almost pass out. It was affecting Axel as well, because he was sneezing. I became worried as he went silent, and upon pulling away from him, my eyes went wide. He wasn't moving, his eyes wide as he looked towards my T.V.

I turned my attention back to my screen, and I felt my body go numb for some reason. The screen had changed, that was for sure. It was no longer the title screen. It was like watching a movie of some sorts, and the scary thing… I was in it!

Before I could do anything, everything went black, and I almost panicked. The darkness lifted soon, though, and I took in a breath of relief. I hated the darkness, it was as if something was watching me closely there, as if wanting my soul.

Alright, tally for injuries and lost souls… I quickly look down at myself, gasping as I saw I wasn't wearing coaching attire anymore. I was wearing what looked like camouflage military pants, around five belts jumbled around my waist, much like Squall from Final Fantasy VIII. I had on sneakers, much to my pleasure, and I had on a black sleeveless compression shirt. Fingerless gloves adorned my hands, and I could feel something around my neck. I touched at it lightly, my eyes going wide, really wide.

"It worked!" A little voice brought me spinning around, growling slightly… Wait, why was I growling?

Standing there was what looked like a ten year old boy. He was smiling sheepishly at me. "It actually worked!" He rushed over to me, holding out a pair of yellow tinted sunglasses and a black robe, like Organization XIII wears in Kingdom Hearts II.

My eyes narrowed, showing my anger, "What the hell is going on? And who are you?"

He laughed, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his thumb, "Uh, well, I'm your PS3…"

I growled at him, baring my teeth, "This is the last time I say I will test something for anyone! Seriously!"

He put his hand behind his head and smiled, "Now come on! You wanted to be here, didn't you?"

I tilted my head to the left, "What?"

"You said you wanted to be here. To help save the planet, right?" He asked me.

"Where are we?" I asked, curious to know where I was.

We're in Aeris' church, don't you recognize it?" He laughed again.

"I must be hallucinating," I mumbled, running my hands over my face.

"You're not!" His voice entered my ears, and I looked at him again. "You're here, in Final Fantasy, so deal with it!" He pointed a finger and poked it against my nose, "You're here in Midgar, getting ready to join AVALANCHE."

"But," I started, only to be cut off by him again.

"You have to stay here and help them defeat Sephiroth," he smiled. He then pat my head, "Try not to screw up the plotline too much, got it?" He then jumped, a look of surprise coming to his face, "Oh, I almost forgot to give you your weapon!"

He handed me some things, and I blinked at it, a devious smile coming to my face, "Seriously?"

He nodded, "I knew you would like it!"

I ruffled his hair, smiling at him, "You're great, you know that?"

"They're exactly as it is in Kingdom Hearts II, so don't say I don't love you." He laughed. He then handed me something else, causing me to blink down at it. "This is yours as well. I know you'll enjoy it…"

"Oh man! The Panasonic P900iV Phone!" I smirked happily. "Man, you are the best PS3 anyone can get!"

He laughed and blushed slightly, "Yeah, I guess, just please don't inflate my ego too much, got it?"

With that, he was gone, leaving me sitting there and looking down at first my phone and then my weapons. The weapons were Xigbar's gun arrows that he uses against Sora. Hmm, I wonder if they could combine… As I thought this, I placed the two together, surprised as I heard an audible click as they fit together, revealing a rifle-like weapon. Awesome!

Man, I was going to have a fun time with this one… That is, if I can learn how to use it. As I stood, something caused my ears to twitch. It sounded like tags, and I quickly grabbed at my neck. Ugh. Was my first thought as I felt a dog collar there, but then I got used to the idea of having a collar and tags on it.

I noticed something in that moment, and I became quite curious. My eyesight… It was more of a twilight coloring with everything. Hmm, I'm going to have to ask my PS3 about this the next time I see him, that's for sure. I growled as a young woman came running into the church, her pink dress standing out in my twilight colors. I knew her at once. It was Aeris, and she seemed to be running from someone.

As she came to where I was standing, she gasped and stopped. I sniffed slightly before growling some more, moving in front of her to block her from the incoming men. They looked at me blinking in their blue suits. I snarled, baring my teeth at them. I clenched my weapon a little tighter as I eyed them closely.

"Get out of here!" I growled, swiping my right arm to the side.

"Wow! She looks exactly like the picture boss handed out," One mumbled, leaning forward. I knew him at once. It was Reno, his red hair contrasting to his blue suit, even in my twilight gaze. "Doesn't matter," he mumbled, pointing his night stick at me, "give us the girl and we won't have to hurt you!"

"Find another one!" I yelled, aiming my gun arrow rifle at him. "Haven't you ever heard of sanctuary? We're in a church! You can't do anything to us if we call out sanctuary, which we both do! Now scram! Before I hurt you!" To add onto that statement, I bared my teeth at him. As another took a step towards us, I turned my aim to him, quickly shooting at his feet, halting his progress, "Get your scummy asses out of here! Your stench is unbearable, even with the flowers around me! You're suffocating me!" Wow, it was a laser, just like Xigbar… Heh, if you couldn't tell, he was my favorite character in Kingdom Hearts II.

Reno eyed me as he backed up, "Alright guys, let's go. We'll get her later." With that, all three of them spun and ran off.

Aeris eyed me for a moment, a smile on her face. She then put her hand on my arm, causing me to pull away from her for some odd reason. Her smile died away slightly, "Thank you. You saved me…"

"They were imposing on my peace, that's all," I grunted, sitting down in a pew and looking at the black robe. Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a robe but a black trench coat. Egads! My PS3 knew me too well, it seems!

"My name's Aeris," she giggled at me, putting her hands behind her back and tilting her head to the right.

"Ace," I mumbled, blinking slightly.

"You're different," she almost whispered, but I could hear her perfectly, "there's something about you… I can't place it, but I know something is different about you."

I shrugged, "You wouldn't be the first to say that to me and you won't be the last I'm sure."

"I haven't seen you around here before. Have you just come to Midgar?" She asked me, her smile growing.

"Yeah," I grumbled, pulling my trench coat on and stretching. I then unlatched the two gun arrows and placed them in holsters on my belts.

Upon completing that, I looked up at her. "You have two different colored eyes. One is green while the other is crimson," she pointed at me.

I shrugged, "Had it my entire life. Can't say anything 'bout it." I then shook myself out, "It was nice meeting you, Aeris. Maybe we'll see each other again, eh?"

"I come here every day. So I'll see you tomorrow…" She started.

I growled as I smelt the Turks, "How about I walk you home so those guys don't bother you anymore. Then I can come back here. I like open spaces, and this place is perfect."
