A/N: This story was written and created by Me, and some of the ideas come from my sister Megan. So we both basicly co-own this story. The characters are both taken from our personalities and we hope you will enjoy this fan fiction. It came to me one Saturday night at almost midnight, so it might not be that good. please enjoy!
Amaya boredly sighed as she turned on her beat-up playstation two. She plopped down on the couch just as Marikku came in with sodas for them. Amaya was a skinny 15 year old, with dirty blonde hair that was messily tied into a bun with whisps of hair falling towards her cheeks and the blonde hair brought out her honey brown eyes. Marriku was about the same size, but was a year older than Amaya. She had shoulder length black hair with one large bloody red streak on the left side and she had emerald green eyes.
"So what are we playing?" she asked as she sat down on the couch. An up-beat tune came from the tv and Marikku said, "Final Fantasy...thought so."
Amaya and Marikku were both big fans of the role playing game, they often fought over which character they were. Amaya thought she was a Yuffie, Marriku thought she was like Aeris. They never could choose.
Amaya boredly clicked onto the New game option when the opening movie had ending and the game begun, a shore line appeared on the screen, a soft cry of voices filled the room. Fithos lusec wecos vinosec. Random words in white text appeared next on a field of green grass, a woman dressed in blue stood on the screen.
"I wish we could be in the game...I'd love to just hug squall, wouldnt you?" Amaya joked, having seen the Full Motion Video hundreds of times. Marriku laughed and said, "Your so corny!"
"dont tell me YOU wouldnt hug squall, you'd be all over him"
"Yeah right! You would!"
Marriku splashed some of her cola onto Amaya's shirt, the next splash coming from Amaya's soda can. Soon, soda was being splashed everywhere. Then, being knocked down playfully by Marriku, Amaya landing hardly on the ground, her half full soda can spilling all over the game system.
Amaya's honey brown eyes widened in pain as she felt her whole body stop moving, almost like the blood had stopped pumping through her veins. She tried to scream out in pain, for help, but Marriku was slumped onto the soda-spotted couch, not moving.
Amaya saw black, she tried not to give in to this darkness, but she was overhwhelmed.
Amaya felt herself covered by cloth, thin and scratchy at her skin. She opened her eyes lightly, but closed them quickly, a bright beam of golden sunlight hit her straight in the face. "what is going on..." She mumbling, sitting up on the uncomfortable bed she was laying in. She was laying in little office type room.
"So you're awake now?" A womanly voice came from the front of the room. An older looking woman was sitting at her desk, typing away at her computer. Her hair was light brown, a few streaks of grey in it. She wore a long white jacket, like a doctors. The woman got up from her computer chair and walked towards her.
"So, say your name for me," She said. Amaya raised her eyebrow at this woman. where was she? this place seemed all too familiar, she rubbed at her face.
"Amaya Khushrenada," She said.
The woman walked to her desk and typed in a few things and she said from her desk, "Well, your not a student here. Where do you come from?"
"Amercia" Amaya said. How stupid are you lady? Amaya said, getting out of the bed. She still wore her old jeans and band t-shirt, with a few splashes of cola on it.
"...s'cuse me, but I dont think theres no such thing as America," The old woman said, "Do you mean Galbadia? Dollet?"
Amaya's eyes widened. Galbadia...Dollet...She was right. This was all too familiar. Galbadia and Dollet were towns from Final Fantasy, she was in the infermary from inside Balamb Garden. "This isnt happening..."
"What garden do you come from?" Dr. Kadawaki said. Amaya clearly remembered the main character squall awakening in the infermary when he and Seifer were training. She couldnt just say 'well, i come from a diffrent world called earth and this is all just a game! good-bye!' She had to think fast.
"Oh, im from Galbadia Garden. I must have gotten hit hard on the head or something...I just transferred, im not sure why my information wouldn't already be in the school's records."
The doc nodded and she walked towards the next bed, and Amaya seen Marriku laying in the bed, her eyes closed. "is this a friend of yours?" Dr. Kadawaki said, checking her pulse. "Yes, we are both Transfer students from Galbadia." The doc nodded once again and retreated back to her computer.
Amaya seen Marriku stirring and once she seen the girl's emerald eyes open, she placed her fingers to her lips. Marriku's eyes squinted at Amaya and she said, "where the hell are we?"
"try not to freak out...But...We are in Balamb Garden" Amaya said, glancing back at Dr. Kadawaki to make sure she wasnt watching. "If she askes you anything, say your a transfer student from Galbadia." Marriku looked ready to question, Amaya wanted to question this whole world, but she pleaded pleaded, "do it!"
"Is she awake?" The doctor came back, seeing Marriku sitting up and talking. "Well, say your name for me, miss" She said.
"Marriku Yurameshi," She replied, acting very smooth.
"Well, Miss. Yurameshi, Miss. Khushrenada, i think you are ready to leave. Go to the third floor to talk to the headmaster, he should give you your dorm rooms and what not."
Amaya and Marriku bowed to her, and left the room, entering a hall area with plush grey carpet. "can you please tell me whats going on!" Marriku hissed at Amaya. "I may sound crazy, but i think we are stuck in the freaking game..." "this is a bad...no wait, this is a good dream!" Marriku said, smirking.
"how can you be joking at a time like this?" Amaya said, placing her hands on her hips, glaring at the tacky tan wallpaper, "We have no records! We are so going to be busted! How are we going to get home!"
"Relax! Well, we need weapons and we'll just have to make a bunch of crap up to Cid" Marriku said, leaning against the walls. "Everything will be fine, trust me. just think...we can try the hotdogs in the cafeteria!" Amaya raised an eyebrow at her friend and chuckled. "we will need a seriously good story."
Amaya and Marriku stepped out of the hallway and they both gasped. They had always immagined what the garden would look like. It was hard to believe that they were experining it, for real. A large fountain stood in the middle of this enormous room, the fountain made a circular path around the garden. every few feet, there would be an opening for a path to another wing of the garden. plants were decoratively placed in every corner, and some wooden benches were placed here and there.
The students, wearing their dark blue uniforms, walked towards the classes and other areas, carrying books and laughing with their friends. "now...third floor..." Amaya said. She didnt notice Marriku didnt followed. Marriku sat on one of the wooden benches and giggled to herself, laying down. Amaya turned around and her eyes widened, running to her friend as the students looked at them. Marriku was sprawled out on a bench, humming.
"what are you doing?" Amaya whispered nervously at her friend, as she pulled her to her feet. "Nothing...just getting used to the garden. We should get used to it, who knows when we will go home!" they then headed towards the left, looking for that familar directory near the glass elevators.
When they found it, Amaya and Marriku hyperly ran up the stairs and into the elevator. They had a smooth ride towards the 3rd floor, they came upon Headmaster Cid's Office. There was a large glass window, out looking the hillside and little town of Balamb. There was a desk towards the window, the large comfy chair was faced towards the window.
"Um...Heya!" Marriku said, trying not to seem unprofessional. "Headmaster?" Amaya said. The chair turned around and they seen familar headmaster Cid, wearing his little crimson vest and his little reading glasses placed expertly at the bridge of his nose.
"Welcome" He said, getting up. "Now, what is the reason for you to come to my office?"
"well, I am Amaya Khushrenada, and this is my good friend Marriku Yurameshi. We are Transfer students from Galbadia Garden" Amaya said. Cid looked and said, "I have not been informed of this earlier." "well, it, uh, all happened very suddenly," Marriku said.
"well, i guess i am fine with this. Now, where are you belongings?" Cid asked, leaning on his wooden desk. "Well, we were hurt while traveling here and everything was stolen from us...our weapons, clothes, and all of our money!" Amaya said, trying to put on a horribly sad face. She wasnt a good actor, Marriku was the actor.
"I see" Cid said, his brown eyes scanning towards a large closet that was tucked into the corner of the room. It was hidden in the "vast-ness" of the window, Amaya hadn't noticed it was even there. "well, i DO have some weapons on hand. Maybe...think of this as a Welcoming gift"
He walked towards the chesnut case, pulling a ring of keys from his baggy tan pants. He pulled a little copper key from the ring and unlocked the case. Two weapons were set in this case. Amaya could see Marriku's emerald eye glow as she set her sight on pair of twin katanas. Back at home, Marriku had a old katana from her grandpa, and she loved them dearly.
They were made of a light, golden looking woodish-material, a crimson japanese character was placed at each handle. The symbols meant "Strength" and "Honor". the casing for the blade of the Katana was a midnight black color, decorated with tiny pink cherry blossoms. Writen in a blood looking substance on the case, was "stand for what you believe in" written in japanese calligraphy. The seeth was a matching midnight black striped with bright red.
Amaya seen a beautiful staff set next to the katanas. The handle of the staff looked like silver, a tiny golden cherry blossom bangle hung from the handle. The staff itself was a moonlight color and had an silver replica of the moon on the very tip. A faint black outline of a wolf like animal was shone on the staff.
"choose wisely" Cid said, his voice seemed dark and distant. But, once they had their weapons in hand, Cid became happy. He gave them school books, which they would study and the keys to their dormitory. Amaya was relieved that she could share a dorm. with Marriku.
They thanked the headmaster and took the elevator back towards the first floor. They took the circular path towards the halls which would lead towards their dormitory. Amaya was ready to sleep. She held her staff carefully, not wanting to get a single scratch or knick on it. Their dorm number was '223'.
They found their dorm room and happily entered. There was a little sitting area, with a small, clean wooden table and 2 matching wooden chairs. There was 3 doors, two of them were rooms and one was a quiet looking bathroom. In each bedroom, there was an empty desk next to a queen sized bed with blue and grey pillows and comforters.
Also, their school uniforms were laid on the bed. Amaya loved the blue hue of the uniform, she excitedly put it on, feeling happy for the second time today. "Amaya! I think i dropped one of my books outside" Marriku said tiredly from her room, she trudged over to the door and Amaya heard a 'scream' and a loud thump noise.
Amaya walked outside and almost fainted when she seen her friend on the floor with Squall leonhart.
