Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy VII nor Kingdom Hearts. (Bleep!) WellI do own the plot and that original character, but I'm not going to tell you, till the next Journey.

Quick note: Though the world is set in Kingdom Hearts, there are some new things that I added to this that were not from either Final Fantasy VII's storyling nor the Kingdom Hearts storyline to it. Plus this fanfiction was inspired and dedicated to mihoyonagi.

Journey Zero – Thoughts

"Mummy."

"Yes, Aerith. What is it this time?"

"Are there more worlds than just Hollow Bastion?"

"That depends, but why do you want to know?"

"I'm curious and I don't want to stay here.-"

"I want to go to new worlds."

Funny enough for Aerith. Those words she asked to her mother was now more than mere thoughts from her past. Too bad she's now stuck with Leon, Yuffie and Cid, as the four went into Olympus Coliseum via Cid's Gummi Ship.

While Yuffie was busy teasing Leon into skills, Aerith just looked at the window, where a blanket of stars covered the beautiful, yet lonely black sky. She wondered whether if there were more worlds than the ones she has been.

New worlds, huh? She thought. Maybe. There must be more than those worlds!

Unexpectedly, Yuffie scared Aerith, while wondering into her quiet thoughts.

"Yuffie, don't scare me like that!" Aerith scolded with a little disgust.

"Well, sorry Aerith." Yuffie replied with a smile. "Just here to get your mind off from Dreamland!"

"Will you two pipe it down?" exclaimed Cid, while driving the Gummi ship. "Besides, we're near our destination, so you two better get prepared for the tournament."

And so, the story was wounded up in a tournament. However, to Aerith, the journey of finding new worlds has just begun.

Author's Notes: Yes, it is rather a bit short, but there will be Sephiroth appearing in the next chapter, so don't just hold your breath. And then there are original characters coming in the next chapter. If you are asking me, why did I not put some FF7 stuff into this, is that I don't think Aerith/Aeris in the Kingdom Hearts version would remember her being 'poked' by Sephiroth, nor does Sephiroth himself wanting to be a God and doing it for his 'mother', Jenova. Hence, the AU part.

And if you are asking me why did I put this fanfiction into the FF7 catergory, is that I want to concentrate more on the Aeriseph emphasis than the KH, despite Sora being included in the next and besides, after two Journeys or so, I'll 'make' new worlds that were not included in the KH game.

As for Silent Knid, just hold on, while I finished Journey One – Discovery. Yes, Wonka fans and possible Runedo fans, just hold on.

By the end of the next chapter, I won't nice, until I get five reviews to do Journey Two. Well, I hope you enjoy my fanfiction and remember to review!
