Boy, am I tired! For real! This story is based off a dream I had and I couldn't get it out of my mind. I know that nobody except my friends might read this because a girl gets taken to the world of Final Fantasy VII. I know, it's original, right? Well, when your parents are at a wedding, and your little brothers are at a birthday party and it's only you and the coolest uncle in the world, you get lots of time to think. I mean, it's not like I didn't think about this until today, but I was bored and I didn't really feel like doing my school project yet. Anyways, for those who actually clicked on it, I guess you should get on with the reading. You can go ahead and leave comments, it doesn't matter. This was just for fun. If people like it, I'll continue it... if I'm motivated enough. Half the stuff in this chapter is true, some of it isn't.

P. S. Sorry, Kikiru... it's in first person... but I couldn't help it!

"Night, Mama!" I said to her as I gave her a hug and kiss goodnight. She did the same, and I laid down. Mama did the same thing to my friend. " Man, Allana, didn't we have fun at the convention, or what?" I exclaimed, still in my Chinese outfit.

She smiled, " Yeah! You were so cheap though. You had so much money, Brittney!"

I took off my Kilala ears and laid down with my pre- Advent Children Cloud. The one from the game. " Yeah... about that... look who has fifty bucks left over! Not you!" I told her jokingly.

She got out her Hikaru plushie from Ouran High School Host Club. To me, that was the most adorable thing I'd ever seen, next to my Cloud plushie, or course! " Hey, Brittney..." she began to drift off and stared at all my plushies: Edward, Kyo, Inuyasha, Kilala, and Toma-Toma and Cloud. "Hey, Brittney! Wanna have a plushie party?" she asked excitedly.

It was our last night seeing each other before we would have to take her to the airport, so anything sounded fun. " Yep! A plushie party sounds fun!" I agreed excitedly. I was in my pajamas now, but I still held the picture of the all of us( well, Cloud held it) and I was still wearing my Dragonforce wristband.

I got on her air mattress and we assembled our plushies. Both of us agreed that Edward would be the leader of " The He-Man She Haters Club" with other members Hikaru, Kyo, Inuyasha, Toma-Toma, and Cloud. Edward made Kilala an honorary male for the day. I had fun with our plushies. Cloud and Edward were fighting over my love, and Kilala was the only one who bet on Edward... he won the plushie fight, and Kilala got rich.

Our laughs would never end, and I didn't want this day to end, either. Tomorrow my family would take Allana to the airport and she'd go home... her new home... technically. I was surprised at how fast time went by: It was 12:30 AM! We were at the convention from 9 AM to 6-7 PM... and we were tired. Allana and I were yawning beyond relief... actually, we were crying because we were yawning so much.

"Um, Brittney," she started with another yawn, " Sorry. Brittney, I'm tired. I mean really tired."

"Same here." I mumbled as I drifted to sleep.

"Mind if I go to sleep? Or if we go to sleep?"

I was dozing off already, " Go for it..." She turned off the lights and I hugged my Cloud plushie with me, with him still holding the picture of all of us: Me, Allana, Kim, and Cassi. I laughed as I started to sleep, remembering all the fun we had today.

I could hear Allana move in her bed, trying to get comfortable. " Goodnight, Brittney." she told me.

"Yeah... good...night..." I mumbled and that was it. I was stone. As in, my body was rock, I don't even think an earthquake could have moved me!

" Well, what did I tell you, Zack? I think she's perfect for him. She's smart and knows him very well, don't you think?"

"I don't know. What will happen when she wakes up? I mean, she won't be in her home– her own world for that matter."

"All we have to do is watch over her until she completes our wish. After that, she gets a wish, whatever she wants, and that'll be it. I hear this summoning thing works like a charm for people who want something really bad in the afterlife."

"How do you suppose this girl is going to keep Cloud happy? She's much to young for him."

" That's not what I meant, silly. She's smart, I'm sure she'll figure something out."

"I hope so, Aeris. You're only taking her away from her home."

" Well, she can wish to come back after she succeeds in our wish. I know she can do it."

I woke up really, really cold for some reason. Odd... my room is always hot. However, it took me a second to realize that I wasn't in my room. The walls were brown and the curtains were the picnic material. Even the bed's sheets were plaid. I looked at my hands, shocked, when they looked real, but... weren't. They felt real, and so did everything else. Was this a dream?

It can't be, I'm being too analytical.

There were pictures in crayon that looked like they were drawn by children. It had a guy that had yellow spikes... was it a chocobo? I realized who it was: Cloud. That's when I scrambled for my Cloud plushie. To my relief, he was with me, with the picture of my friends and I in his little arms, as was my Dragonforce wristband was still on my wrist. I immediately hid Cloud under the covers.

This dream is pretty accurate for a dream...

My face shot everywhere in the room, frantically, searching for something familiar. Nothing. It was all brand new to me. I started hyperventilating out of fear. Was I kidnapped, then? And if so, why didn't the alarm go off? If it did... why didn't anybody come after me? The thought of my family not caring scared me. I began to cry, which then turned to screaming.

I heard someone running up the stares frantically, and I hid under the covers, shaking uncontrollably. " Hey, are you OK?" said a woman's voice. It sounded urgent, yet caring enough, so I peaked out my head. " What's wrong?! Are you hurting?!" she asked urgently.

My voice was broken, somehow. I couldn't speak when I saw her face. Her brown eyes and black hair looked all too familiar to me. Her voice was normal for me to hear, too. It was as though I had met her before. I didn't need anybody to tell me who she was. It scared me to think that I was standing face to face with Tifa Lockheart.

"Are you mute?" she asked quietly that time.

I took the deepest breath of my life. " No. It's just... I..." tears began to swell up in my eyes, " I don't know how I got here! This isn't where I slept last night!"

Tifa gave me a strange look and held my hand in comfort. " As far as I know, this is the only room you have slept in. You were walking around in the soaking rain, as though it were nothing."

I shook my head, " But I was in my room last night. In my house, in my bed! How could I have gotten here, when I was sleeping in my room?

She sighed and looked at me, " An event must have really traumatized you, right?" I shook my head again, re-explaining everything. " Well, you were wandering in the rain, and you banged on the bar door, even though it was closed. After I heard you knock harder and harder, I was about to tell you to leave, but then you collapsed into my arms, and you were unconscious. Ever since then, you've been in this room, sleeping." She looked at the picture of my friends and I. " Are these your friends? Do you have family?"

I looked down, and started crying again, and she embraced me. " I know. I know what it's like. It's OK. I know." she comforted. I couldn't be strong, not for a total "stranger."

"It's not that I don't..." I managed to say, " It's just... they aren't here. They're back at... home. I have to get back home..."

Tifa let me go and made me look her in the eyes. " Well, I'll make an offer to you." I listened and shot up instantly. " Until we can find a way to get you home," she explained, " you can live with me and Cloud. All right?"

My face lit up a little when she said "...live with Cloud." I was glad inside that my fangirl-ness was still inside me, even though I was in the realm of Final Fantasy VII.
