Hello everyone this is my first story. I am not that good at writing I though I would give in a go. I though it would be a fun challenge. Any Way this will be a Serah and Cloud fan fiction was inspired to write this after reading the boy in the bookstore really love that story. That story has influence me to write this story. I hope I do a decent job any comment on my writing would be appreciated any like or dislike and how I can improve would be amazing. I do not own Final Fantasy VII or Final Fantasy XIII they belong to square enix. I hope you enjoy the story

Chapter 1

Serah Farron looked outside the window of the airship awaiting to arrived at midgar so she can stretch her legs after hours of sitting down her legs had fallen asleep after a couple of hours she had finally arrived. Serah had let out a yawn tired from her long journey, She could not wait to get to a hotel and go to sleep. Serah had just got out of the airship that taken her from cocoon to midgar. She had got up and stretched her legs sighing with relief, taking her suitcase from the compartment walking towards the exit of the ship thanking the staff from their hospitality

Serah exited the airship and looked at midgar "so this is midgar never though the Shinra building was that big" Staring in amazement at the tallest building with a core that had a number on it 1.

Serah had asked for direction to sector 7 the person had told her to be careful going down to that area because of all the thieves and criminals that live down there, Serah just brush it aside and made her way down to sector seven. She notice how half on the buildings were destroyed wondering what could have happen down here thinking it was best to move on she spotted a hotel and eagerly made her way towards it with her luggage in hand thinking about the nice warm bed and having a hot shower as well.

Serah entered the hotel and first thing she noticed was the door for the entrances look degraded, she continues to move towards the front desk and notice on the walls, the wallpaper was peeled off revealing plaster on the walls ,the carpet looked really mouldy with fungus growing on it careful not to step on it Serah makes her way to the front desk. The hotel manager that stood at the desk look like he was in his forties it was obvious he had never had a bath in his life, his hair was full of dandruff Serah could not tell what colour his hair was, his shirt was full on food stains Serah guess the red stain was from ketchup. He had a name tag on Joe

"Good morning I am Joe how many I help you" he said smiling which gave Serah Goosebumps his teeth were all black and yellow they were rotten. Serah just smiled

Serah had to gotten a tissue out of her bag and pretend to blow her nose so she would not have to smell his odour.

"I need a room with a bed, wardrobe and a toilet with a shower how much do you charge a day".

"200 gils a night", Joe replied instantly

"okay here is 1400 gils for a week" Serah said giving the money in a second .

"Thank you here is your room key". the manger had taken the room key from the desk draw and drop it on the table.

Serah took the room key thanked the manager and went upstairs to her room carrying her luggage up a flight of stairs without the staff helping her.

"Boy great service" Serah said sarcastically.

Serah finally made it to her hotel room opening the door and was shocked to see the hotel was not too bad there was a clean bed, a wardrobe and a clean toilet. "Why the room is so clean yet downstairs looks horrible" Serah though puzzled she brushed it aside putting her luggage down she collapse on the bed "let me sleep god am I tired from all that travelling" Serah looked at the wall of her room before falling into a deep sleep.

I hope you had enjoyed it if not can you please tell me how I can improve the story thank you.
