Hey guys! This is my first reader insert, along with my 1st FF3 fic, so it WILL suck. Okay?

_= Name

Also, it's in 1st person. Get used to it.

I walked through the damp forest after a downpour, with only one thing on my mind. Well, one person. Luneth. He was supposedly coming back today, from a month-long trip with his father to Oahu, Hawaii, but so far he was a no-show. Which explains why I was in the forest and not out to greet him in the main square our little rural town of Ur.

"Oh, hey, I didn't expect to see you here, _." Arc said, startling me. Arc was Luneth's best friend, and after Luneth left on his long trip, Arc and I had grown very close.

"Hey, Arc. Why are you out here and not out to greet Luneth?"

"Same reason as you, probably. He wasn't there so I figured his flight was delayed."

"Actually, the reason I'm out here is because I needed to clear my head. He's probably with his dad out at the gas station across from town, buying a banana smoothie." For some reason, Luneth's father (whose name I'd forgotten, he'd insisted Arc and I called him Dad back when all three of us lived in the town orphanage) had the biggest addiction to banana smoothies. Nobody knew why, I guess the man just liked his smoothies. Arc laughed.

"I could go for a smoothie right about now." I agreed. There was a rustling in the bushes next to me. I figured it was probably one of the cats we'd named Goblin (there were so many and looked exactly alike, so all the kids in town just tagged them as 'Goblins'). but instead of an oddly colored wild cat, out of the bushes came Nina, Luneth's adoptive mother.

"There you guys are! Luneth and my husband just arrived, and they've been waiting for you out in the Town Square!" She exclaimed, slightly out of breath. All three of us hurried out to meet Luneth and Dad. One problem.

I had always kind of liked Luneth, but now he'd grown much more mature, and much more handsome. Oh, crap.
