AN: This is, for me, it's for fun and a break from serious writing. Don't count on any of the normal pairings and even if they are through out the story, they probably wont end with them. This will undoubtedly be OOC; it's meant to be like soaps on TV. And you know the plots on that, I am planning on exaggerating the plots as well, because, like I said, its for my own fun

Prologue.
June 18th 2006
Yuna stopped in the doorway to her bedroom, her mouth open in shock and her legs threatening to give way beneath her.
Her fiancée, Tidus, was lying in bed with an old friend of hers, Lulu, they were wrapped in each others arms, kissing and Tidus was thrusting a certain part of his body into Lulu's nether regions.
"Hey Yuna?" a voice called from behind her. "What's going on?"
A brown haired woman appeared from behind Yuna; her face perfectly mirroring Yuna's as her eye's fixed onto the two writhing figures on the bed. But still, the two didn't seem to notice Yuna and Rinoa's presence.
Yuna's face quickly turned from that of surprise to anger.
Contradicting her normally calm and kind personality, she jumped forwards and kicked the two fiercely, causing them to almost fall off of the bed.
Quickly the two pulled away from each other, and whereas Lulu had grabbed the sheet, Tidus was left to stand in the chilly room in only his birthday suit.
Rinoa quickly turned around intending to flee the room, feeling this was not her place to intrude, when she was stopped be Yuna, who insisted she stay.
The room was filled with an awkward silence.
Rinoa had never really liked the expression 'you could cut the tension with a knife', but that expression perfectly described the atmosphere in the room at that moment.

Rikku stared at the white stick in her hands. She blinked. Shook it. And threw it across the room a couple of times. But the result didn't change. Her mouth opened, but no words followed.
The blue line was staring right at her.
Mocking her.
It had been once, one time, and now she was-
"Ahhh" Rikku screamed, her frustration filling every fibre of her.
She flung herself back onto her bed, tears begging to run down her cheeks.
"Rikku" a voice called up at her. Rikku jumped.
"M-mother?" Rikku stuttered.
There was a moment of silence; Rikku then heard the floorboards creak outside of her room. Quickly she stashed the pregnancy test under her sheets and grabbed a book.
The door slowly opened to reveal a blonde woman in her mid thirties.
"Is everything alright, Rikku?" she asked tying her hair in a ponytail. Rikku quickly nodded.
"Yes Mum. Everything's fine."
For a moment, neither spoke.
"I'm washing the sheets."
A pang of dread hit Rikku as these words escaped her mother's lips. "Would you help me take them off?"
"N-no" Rikku stuttered. Her mother's eyebrows rose at her daughter's rudeness. "I mean… mine are clean, so they don't need to be washed."
"I know Rikku, but I'd rather wash them all together now," anger starting to build in her voice.
Rikku nervously looked around the room, looking at anything other than her mother's eyes.
"Are you going to help?" She questioned angrily.
Rikku sighed, knowing she could not argue with her mother. Her only hope was that the test she had stashed under the quilt would not be noticed.
Rikku walked towards her bed with her mother, and the sheets were ripped from the bed. Then, as a small, white stick fell to the floor, both Rikku and her mother's eyes fell to it, as it slowly hit the ground.
XXX
Aerith's hands trembled as she pulled them back to her sides.
She watched the blood pour from the wound and the man, who was standing in front of her, begin to fall backwards; his eyes guiltily starring at her.
She jumped forwards.
But it was too late. A splash followed as his body hit the water, which would be quickly washed downstream.
Aerith watched the man she had just killed, float away, and she cried.
XXX
Namine cradled her bruised cheek as she slowly stood up, only to be knocked back over again.
She would have cried at the pain, but she felt she was unable to now.
"Witch!" a child hissed at her as their fists continued to pound into her body. "Freak!"
Namine was used to both the words and the violence.
She was unable to hide from it, so instead she let it in.
She found it pointless otherwise.
People had stopped caring about her, and so had she.
She believed what she was told.
She believed there was something wrong with her and she needed to be punished, that she didn't deserve to be saved.
She didn't deserve the light like other people did.
"Stop this now!" a voice yelled, cutting through the playground. Every child stopped to look at Mr Fair. Though Namine was not able to bask in his presence the way she would want to, as a rock hit the back of her head. Punishing her, for the brief happiness she had felt.
XXX
Zack Fair hadn't been a teacher at Kilika's middle school that long, maybe about a week, but he had already earned himself a great deal of respect. No one dared cross him.
Rumours spread like wild fire about his time in a high ranked army base, that and, most of the students had major crushes on him.
He was either bombarded my love letters, or love struck students.
He was able to easily brush it off, but at times, it did get annoying.
Some other teachers commented about how it may get out of control, but Zack assured them, nothing would go wrong.
He was happy with his long time girlfriend Yuffie, and he was happy at his job so he didn't plan on anything changing.

June 22nd 2006
Yuna has stayed at Rinoa's house that night and for three days after, only returning on the forth day to collect her passport and clothes.
Tidus had been moping around the house for those four days, too embarrassed to go outside in case he saw Yuna or she had told everyone about what had happened.
So when he heard the door hinges creak open that Wednesday morning, he was delighted to say the least, assuming his fiancée had decided to return to him.
"Yuna!" he exclaimed, his voice cracking with excitement, she had simply given him an angry stare and walked towards her room.
He followed her like a lost sheep as she darted around the room collecting her belonging, not daring to say a word.
"Where is my passport?" Yuna finally spoke, though her voice was angry and impatient, not warm and welcoming like Tidus had hoped.
"T-top draw in the living room" Tidus stuttered, shocked by Yuna's unnatural anger.
She grunted which Tidus assumed was a thank you.
"A-are you going somewhere?" Yuna paused, her hand hovering over the red leather.
"What do you think?" Yuna quickly grabbed the passport and turned around. "After you've banged my best friend and ruined my life, do you think I could stay here?"
Tidus didn't answer.
Instead his eyes feel to floor.
"That's what I thought," Yuna sighed.
That was the day Yuna left Kilika.
XXX
It had taken Rikku four days to build up the courage to talk to Wakka. And then she had to time it just right so Lulu wouldn't hear or see them together.
"W-Wakka?" Rikku cautiously approached him as he walked away from the nursery after dropping his youngest son off. He quickly turned around and his content expression turned to confusion that once again, quickly turned to anger.
"What are you doing here, ya?" he asked, his voice almost a whisper.
"I need to talk to you…"
"Well I don't wanna talk to you. I told you, it's over between us." Rikku's tugged at her blouse nervously.
"I know. But that's not why I'm here."
Wakka straightened up and looked at the seventeen-year-old standing in front of him.
"Then what is it?" Rikku quickly threw a glance to her mother who was still waiting in the car and smiled reassuringly.
"Wakka… there's no easy way to say this, so I'm just going to say it…" Rikku took a deep breath before continuing. "Wakka, I'm pregnant!"

Aerith quickly bundled herself onto a train, desperately trying to rid herself of her terrible deed that plagued her mind.
She placed her hands to her forehead and let the tears spill from her eyes.
She just couldn't remember how it happened.
Just, yelling; then a knife; and blood; then he fell.
"Excuse me?" a gentle voice asked. Aerith's eyes quickly shot open to stare at a beautiful, black haired woman, with burgundy eyes. "I saw you from my seat. Are you okay?" Aerith just continued to stare at the woman in front of her. The two just waited for a moment, neither saying anything.
"Aerith" she crocked out. The woman standing over her cocked her head. "My name" Aerith quickly corrected.
"My name is Tifa" the woman smiled warmly. "Would you mind if I sat next to you?" Aerith quickly shook her head.
"No, I don't mind." Tifa smiled once again before sitting next to Aerith.
"So where are you going?" Tifa asked. Aerith was silent for a moment.
"I'm not sure."
"Where did you buy a ticket to?" Tifa asked confused.
"I just asked for a ticket to the furthest place from here." Tifa nodded slowly and Aerith knew she had made her uncomfortable. "Where are you going?" Tifa jumped at the unexpected question.
"Kilika, I'm going to train as a nurse."
"Then I'm going to Kilika" Aerith whispered, making sure Tifa had not heard.
XXX
Namine stared in the mirror at her bruised body.
"I wonder how many other fourteen year old children are treated like this?" she wondered aloud.
"Namine?" A voice called. Namine jumped at the sound of her fathers voice, she quickly grabbed a dressing gown and draped it around herself. "Are you okay?" he asked, pushing the door open.
"I'm as good as I'll ever be, though my body still hurts" Namine never made any attempt to hide the pain she felt or the fact she was so brutally beaten by her classmates to her father, but she refused to let him see her bruises or injuries.
"Namine…" there was a sadness in her fathers voice. "I wish…"
"I know father, you wish I would take action about this?" the blonde spikes of her father's head bounced up and down as he nodded. "But, father… I deserve this." Her father's eyes began to fill with tears as he heard the words of his only daughter.
"Namine-"
But the blonde girl held up her hand, silencing her father.
"Father… You will not say anything" Namine's hand quickly moved across the air and her father nodded. A silence filled the room before Cloud turned around and, almost robotically walked out of the door.
"I'm going out" he spoke. Namine looked at him before nodding.
XXX
Zack had been troubled for the past few days.
There was a student.
Her classmates were beating her, but, somehow, nobody could do anything about it.
It was not a feeling, but more an inability.
When Yuffie asked him about it, even though he more than anything wanted to say what was happening, no words ever came.
"Hey Zack?" Yuffie asked as she draped her arms around her boyfriend. "What's wrong? You seem down."
Zack looked up and smiled at her. "I'm fine. Just thinking."
"What about?"
"Nothing" Yuffie pouted, her features contorting with irritation.
"You don't tell me anything anymore" she said, her arms dropping back to her side. Zack slowly turned around to look at her. "Don't you trust me?" Zack's expression dropped and he walked towards his girlfriend and embraced her.
Whispering in her ear he said, "I trust you with my life."

Hey, don't look at me like that. I said it would be OOC and random pairings (also, on that note. If you tell me your favourite pairings just not crossover I'll put them in the story lol) The next chapter is two years on, so even I don't know what's going to happen to everybody XD I know some plot for some characters to ideas and criticism wouldn't go amiss. I hope you enjoyed the story.
