So I figured that if I wrote something involving my two favorite characters that I would find something to do. This is just something that came to mind one day, while sitting around and doing nothing. I was just going to ignore it because the pairing is just weird, but it wouldn't leave me alone. Obviously, I just began writing.
Originally, this was titled (in my mind) "50 Lost Wishes" but I dropped the fifty, because it seemed like I was pushing it. The only reason it was in there was because there was going to be fifty-two chapters (50 prompts/wishes + Prologue + Epilogue)... and I'm rambling. Sorry!
Just going to get this started. Enjoy. Remember to leave reviews, let me know if you think you're going to be liking this or not.
Side Note: This series is a bit AU with the time line of that actual game. It takes place nearly two months after the Aerith and Zack's conversation about her wishes.
He had been snooping around a lot more than normal, even hacking into employees' computers. He had a lot of time on his hands these days, at least on his days off, since his best friend had gotten a girlfriend. Well, he had also recently gone missing in action, the company claimed he was dead but the Second knew better than that. He'd spent nearly two months looking for any new information on the situation, or should he say actual facts, but found nothing so far.
This renewed activity kept him from sitting around with Luxiere, which made his previous hacking skills well worth it. He only ever hung around the guy because his friend did and never truly liked him. It also stopped him from fretting over what had happened to his companion and the minute he found something, he would come in and save the day. Drag his friend to his girlfriend, he was tired of seeing Turks bringing back letters from the girl to the absent SOLDIER.
Today, he was tired of looking, since he had done must of his hacking the day before and still found nothing, and decided to check out a few of the personal computers that were connected to the system. One had caught his eye and he was soon enough inside of it, looking through the many files that were found in folders in folders in folder. Those always had the must juicy information, he had found throughout the years, and ended up clicking onto one accidentally.
He wasn't sure what he was reading at first. It was a list that much he knew, but of what he couldn't figure out. They didn't have much in common he had soon figured out, and some of it seemed awfully feminine. He skimmed through it and found himself frowning as he reached the end. There was a short paragraph and it didn't take a genius to know in that moment what this was.
A list of wishes but not just any wishes, this was a list of fifty tiny wishes that belonged to a lost little girl. Apparently inspired by his best friend's girlfriend, who had made twenty-three wishes herself, and belonged to a Turk. Not just any member of the Turks either, he realized when he looked at the name at the bottom. He even stared at the letters for a moment, trying to figure out just why this young woman would want to write this. After all, Turks weren't known for doing such things, but it didn't take him long to figure it out.
Turk or not, this particular member was still female.
A plan formed in his head, he produced a few keystrokes and soon had copied the list into his own computer. If it had been any other Turk, or any other day, he would have used this for an advantage on the person, but he didn't. However, what he did find was something to fill in the extra time he now had. His friend would understand if he spent a few days cheering up some girl, especially this one because he'd kind of liked her and befriended her, in some sense.
