Hello! So this is my fic, and my first one at that. So some of my previous readers might notice this first chapter is different. It's because I've revamped the first few chapters to make them more inviting and less kiddish to read. Well, enjoy the very first chapter!

As I said in the summary, there are hints of CloudxTifa in previous chapters, and that will soon grow as the game intends it to. I might add a little bit of twist in there, so don't go thinking you can predict this! :) Anyways, enjoy the chapter!

(Note: Characters are loosely based on me. LOOSELY :P)

In the small town of Pennsylvania, where most weird shit happens, there lived 2 very good friends. Jason was more than an average teen, having a very gifted mind; yet, it does not show on the surface. Luke WAS that average boy that had an average mind, a rebellious personality, but one hell of a sense of humour. "Jason, would you like to beat the Materia Keeper this century?" Luke said with annoyance. Jason turned around and glared at him. Both boys were sitting in there living room, playing Final Fantasy 7. Well, Luke was just watching. "Damn Materia Keeper won't die."

Luke was bored to the brink of banging his head repeatedly on the walls, so he decided to go to the kitchen to get some drinks. "Hey, look what I found!" He came back with 2 beers in hand, a toothy grin, and a twinkle in his eye when he had a bad idea. Jason threw his controller down. "Are you crazy? What if you're parents come in and they see us drinking? WE'RE MINORS, and we can't drink!" Luke chuckled and shook his head. "Oh your so naïve, they're not going to catch us, they won't be home for another 6 hours. By the time they come home, we'll be fast asleep!" Jason shook his head in uncertainty. "Fine, but I'm only having 1 can." Luke smiled, and tossed him a can. "Fine with me!"

A couple of hours later, they finished about 5 cans of beer, which 4 of them were from Luke. Luke started wobbling around the room, giggling like a moron. He stumbled on Jason sitting on the floor, and Jason pushed him the other direction. "See? This is the reason why I didn't want you to drink." Luke raised his finger in rebuttal, but just fell unconscious on the floor.

Jason sighed and continued on with his game. Jason noticed a fly land on the large TV screen, so he went to smack the fly. Right when he smacked it, his hand went through the TV. Jason panicked, and pulled it back. "HOLY SH*TF*CK!" This sudden change of mood in the atmosphere woke Luke up. "No Mr. Rogers, that doesn't go in there!" There was a silent pause… Jason stared at him in disgust. "What kind of f*cked up dreams are you having?" Luke forced a laugh. "What's all the ruckus about?" Jason remembered why he screamed, "My hand went through the TV!" He pointed at the TV.

Luke scrunched up his face. "Your hand went through the TV? Dude, you are so smashed!" Jason rolled his eyes, "I only had 1 drink, that's how I know this isn't the beer talking!" Luke laughed. "So, if I run to the TV and kick it, I'll go through?" Jason thought about it. "Well, it's possible considering…" But before he could finish his sentence, he jumped through the TV and disappeared. Jason was left standing there. "Wait for me!" Jason jumped through and the house was left quiet as a mouse.

After they jumped through, they both found themselves in the Sector 7 slums, standing in front of a bar. The bar was very run down, very likely rat infested. A muscular dark-skinned man with a gun as a right hand stood outside the bar, while a spiky blond man entered the bar. After he went in, so did the other man.

"Hey Luke." Luke analyzed their surroundings. "Yeah?" "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." Luke laughed.

"We're in the Sector 7 slums! This is awesome!" Jason exclaimed. "Yeah it is. Let's go follow them." Luke started walking towards the entrance of the bar. "Wait! We can't say we know them! Just act along like you don't know them. Luke nodded. "Alright, follow my lead." They both walked in the bar, acting like it was nothing. The man with the gun hand noticed them come in, and stomped his way towards them. "What the &#* are you kids doin' in here? Jason and Luke smirked. "We wanna join AVALANCHE." Barret scoffed. "You kiddin' me? You're not even armed! You expect us to provide weapons 'n ammo for you?" Barret crossed his arms. Luke shrugged. "Well, he's a smartass, and I'm just badass. Besides, AVALANCHE is underemployed, you won't even have to pay us! Call it an internship, a free tour of AVALANCHE, except we'll be working for you guys." Barret sighed. "Shi'! Alright but if you die, it aint my fault."

And so, our heroes have sealed their fate. But the question still remains, will I ever, EVER, get past Death Gate? Good night my friends.

Well, hoped you guys like that first chapter, and hope for you to soon read more! BTW, if you notice a change in the type of writing in the next chapters, is cause of the revamp I had to do on the chapters to make them better. Anyways, hope you keep reading my fics! Seriously, please don't go…
