Important: Okay…now you're thinking: 'What the hell is she doing?! She's writing all these goddamn stories and she doesn't even finish one chapter!' -_-;; Excuse the language but that's how I am when I'm REALLY pissed and SICK. Yes I'm sick…-_-;; Now let me explain before you go ballistic and this all goes to Kat_Acylsm. Hi there Kat…how are you doing?! I'm not mad at you ("her" for other people who are reading this) it's just…you're getting me all frustrated! I was THIS close to actually think about finishing this one but I couldn't because of some numerous faults. I have had other stories on hold for a very good reason…okay not VERY good (ask Shi-Angel…she knows). I just run out of ideas for it and when I finally have the inspiration to finish a whole chapter story…it's all ruined! ::cries:: *ahem* Well let me fix those faults you found, okay? (Really, I'm not mad at you. Honest! I just wanna explain stuff so there aren't any misunderstandings…for me anyway…that didn't make sense…excuse me…)

1.) Tifa Lockheart was never a princess. Usually, a marital status explains whether you are single, engaged, married, or divorced. I don't think the marital status of 'Tifa' is legitimate.

Oi…can I explain this? For one thing, it's fiction. Of course I know Tifa Lockhart ain't a princess (Yeah, I know it's spelt 'Lockheart' but I prefer the Japanese version) but I felt like making her one. It's my story, it's fiction, I like making up new things. Yes, I know what a marital status is. That's nothing to be explained to me. Thank you.

2.) Okay…for this one…I ain't gonna bother rewriting what you wrote…I'm getting writing…er…typing cramps. This one is about the age factor.

It's my story…it's called fanfiction. I can do whatever I want whether if it's changing their age or my god! Even what they look like…I could even make Tifa the daughter of Rufus for all I care! Not that I'm gonna do it…strange and unique idea…but ick…

3.) About Reno's last name, 'Suzuhara'

Technically, I took the last name from Evangelion. But I really got it off of Akira's (a friend, mind you) site where it holds Japanese names…first and last. But yes, you could say I "took" it from Evangelion.

4.) But you knew all above mentioned, didn't you?

That's what you said and I completely understood that. I just wanted to get everything straight. I'm not mad or anything…I only get mad when people flame me! ^-^ Thanks for telling me that though! Now, I'm just gonna change this and this WILL be an 'alternate reality story'. Now no one should complain! And yes, Sephiroth will be in this one. Yup, cuz you complained. ^o^ Thanks again Kat. Wow…took up a whole page…and now I'm making a NEW story -_-;; This is gonna be a handful…

Er…and another thing, physical features of these ff7 characters are gonna be different okay? Don't bite my head off for it! I know what I'm doing! I'm just mixing up the present day looks and their own…you get it? I really do know what I'm doing! [Really?] -_-;;

Final Fantasy High

Alternate Reality

"Rufus Shinra, please come to my office."

~

"Aw man. Now what'd I do? This can't get any worse can it?" The teenage delinquent stood up from his seat and walked to the principal's office, trying to push other students out of his way. Once he was in the office the principal looked up.

"Well have a seat Rufus. This might take awhile."

"Damn," He muttered and took a seat that was available to him and sulked. "This better not take long. I refuse to stay in this creepy office, Reika."

"Enough! It is disrespectful to call your elders by their first name. It's Mrs. Tomoyuki to you young man. You had better quit your rude manners and behave properly! Your behavior now is deplorable. According to your records, you have received 17 detentions for the first week of school and one suspension. You've gotten into yard fights and you've also insulted teachers. How do you expect to graduate next year?" Mrs. Tomoyuki demanded.

"Let's see, get a nerd to help me maybe? I don't know! What kinda questions are these anyway?" He asked.

She sighed. There was no way to change this young man for the whole world. He was who he was and there was no other way to deal with him, except…

"I know one way you could graduate and stay the same."

"What is it? Study?"

"No Rufus. It's quite different. As you know this campus is composed of a high school and a junior high school. Well, to get to the real matters we, the school, have two new students attending. One is going to be in 12th grade and, if I have the records memorized correctly, her younger sister is in the 9th grade."

"What in the heavens does that have to do with me? I sure ain't gonna baby-sit them!" He spat.

"Hm…not really," she replied. "You just have to-

The door to her office opened, revealing a young brunette, almost a senior in high school, and she had a tender smile gracing her features.

"Mrs. Tomoyuki?"

"Yes Tifa?"

"Can I have Rufus out of here now? The sports club is about to begin and he's our vice-president. We can't start without him and the president of our club is in the bathroom and he expected Rufus to lead the club without him for awhile."

Heh. That Tifa…she should become an actress. She's rather good at it. Rufus thought while giving a dashing smile at her.

"Yes. Can you handle it for at least two minutes?"

"Yes ma'am." Tifa bowed in respect and closed the door. Ugh…if I continue to be nice and prissy for another year I'm seriously gonna lose it!

Mrs. Tomoyuki faced Rufus again. "Now attention! These two sisters need to be shown around the school and it would be divine if you made friends with them. It would be better if you had your friends befriend them too."

"I'm not here to do that peace and harmony shit."

"Watch it young man! That's another negative slip going into your permanent records," she warned.

"Whatever. Now can I go? I'm exactly thrilled of this new idea of yours."

"Very well Rufus."

Mrs. Tomoyuki watched as one of the students in school left her office. There had to be a way to get through to his head. He seemed to be nice to people he liked and that was against the rules; her rules anyway.

Chapter 2

"Hey, nice goin' there Tifa. Great timing."

She reached behind her head and pulled off the ribbon tying her hair together, letting her hair fall graciously past her shoulders. She was a kind girl for emergencies, according to Rufus's and his pals' needs anyway, she was tough and athletic, fun to be with, and a very good physical attraction. Her eyes were a very beautiful crimson shade, her skin was silky and was very much admired by the boys, brunette tresses layered until a few inches past her shoulders, strands of hair resting down the side of her face, parts of her locks highlighted in gold streaks. She didn't seem to love the boys' admiration for her and it was a good way to get on her nerves.

"Yeah. I saved your ass so the next time I need help, you're gonna do as told."

He smiled and sat on the table in the front corner of the room. None of the teachers or the principal knew what they did in the "sports" club. To them, it was just a period where they could rest so it was pretty much a free period, and they all had to thank a certain someone for that.

"So Rufie," she began. Tifa knew that that nickname was a complete bugger for Rufus. He inherited that nickname from her since preschool and she had kept it up until now. "What did Mrs. Tomoyuki talk to you about?"

Rufus groaned and ran a hand through his hair, ruffling it up a bit.

"Who wants to know? All she said was to show these two females around the school so they could get acquainted with the campus better."

Tifa snickered and so did the rest of the "class".

"Acquainted? Haha…pretty big word for the dumbest person in the school," One of them said.

"Why don't you shove a stick up your ass, Zack? It'll help you get acquainted with it better when I finally shove your head up there!"

Tifa giggled and so was her friend, Elena. Elena was a real cutie to all the boys too. She and Tifa were friends since kindergarten and it seemed that it would remain that way. Elena had quite an attraction for one man though so it was hard to get her attention. Her crushing on all went to Tseng, the swimming coach. She also joined the swimming team so she could be with him most of the time. He was a young coach but very good at his job. He was only 19 years old and he had earned the job because he had been responsible.

Elena and Tifa were known for their athletic qualities. They were interested in many sports such as swimming, tennis, basketball, volleyball, and hockey although the hockey coach didn't allow it because it was too "dangerous". So Elena and Tifa stuck to street hockey where there were no coaches at all.

Another student entering the room interrupted Tifa and Elena's laughs. He was very popular among students and he was really a major magnetism to Tifa and Elena. He personally liked Tifa even though it wasn't shown very often. He'd flirt but most times he would tease Tifa and everyone knew it was his sign of affection.

Chapter 3

"What happened while I was gone? Seems like all of you had some major event goin'."

Elena shook her head. "Nope, not really. Rufus has to show these two sisters around. Tee hee…and he doesn't like it in the least. Plus, he insulted Zack with a stick!"

Cloud cocked an eyebrow and stared at Rufus.

"What? I just said that I would make him…er…stuff a stick up his ass…nothing personal!" He couldn't help but laugh to himself.

"Not quite Rufus." Zack said, jumping off from his chair then sitting on his desk. "Ain't that right Seph?"

Sephiroth, another friend of the clubs, snorted in response. He did that to get on Zack's nerves because if he never sided with him Zack usually berated at him and it amused him because he would be making a fool out of himself.

Tifa shook her head and stood up. "What Rufus said to Zack was-" Before she could finish Rufus had gotten up and had placed a hand over her mouth. Rufus wasn't afraid of Cloud at all. But since he was the president he had the right to kick Rufus out and that would bring Rufus to the other clubs where they actually did work and that was a scary thought for him.

His hands muffled Tifa's words and she did everything in her power to get his hand off her mouth. Not only did it feel uncomfortable but the boy whom she hated most was stopping her from talking. Well…there was only one thing she could do; she bit him.

"Oww! Shit, Tifa!! That goddamned hurt and I swear, if I had both my hands working, I'd strangle you until you writhe!"

Everyone in the room went into hysterics as Rufus continued to swear all throughout the period. During the last few minutes of class, the door opened once again and this time two girls stood at the door.

The tallest one, most likely the oldest, had striking green eyes and brown locks, pulled up in a bun, strands of hair falling out of it. She seemed very womanly and Sephiroth was the one who had stopped laughing first to gaze at the lovely creature at the door who had a faint smile across her face. The younger girl had a very short cut, not too far from her shoulders. She looked the opposite of the taller girl all because of the outfit she was wearing and the impassive glare she was giving them. She was wearing a fitting white tank top and a midnight blue vest over it. The match to this was her khaki short shorts, which were unbuttoned. Rufus caught sight of that one and he had the courage to walk up to her and give her one of his dashing smiles.

"Hey there young woman. How may I be of service?"

Tifa walked over too, whacking Rufus upside the head. "You know, it isn't nice to flirt with someone on the first day of school."

"Wait a sec! You and Elena didn't mind!"

"Do you actually think this girl here doesn't mind? Judging by her appearance and hatred stare at you, I doubt she likes it." She gave him a smile.

"Why you…"

"So," Tifa started. "Anything you need?"

The oldest cleared her throat and looked at everyone in the room. "Yes um…we were looking for uh…a Rufus Shinra? He's supposed to be showing us around…"

Rufus's eyes widened. He was dumbfounded and his mouth was wide open. When he finally came back to his senses, he shook his head furiously.

"No way am I gonna show those twits around school! Especially her!" He pointed at the smallest one.

"Oh…forgive me. I'm Aerith Gainsborough and this is my younger sister, Yuffie."

"Yeah well, nice to meet you Aerith and Yuffie. I'm Tifa Lockhart, the one with the spiky hair is Cloud, the other one who kinda looks like him is Zack. They're brothers…hehe…they do resemble each other."

"Shut up!" Cloud and Zack said in unison. The thing they hated most was when people said they resembled each other. It was the worse thing once could do to them.

"Anyway, the boy who just flirted with you, or tried to flirt with you Yuffie was Rufus Shinra. He's a bit obnoxious so I'd avoid him."

Yuffie giggled and Rufus smiled. She seemed to be quite the bubbly girl and he found it fascinating. Plus, Tifa was awfully nice to them and he didn't like it one bit. For one thing, she was always being a quarrelsome girl when she had first met him and it wasn't fair. And two, he liked her and he also liked this Yuffie and it annoyed him that Tifa was getting to know her more easily than he did. So much for first impressions…

"And Sephy is the one with the gorgeous silver hair and green eyes. Almost looks like you Aerith."

Sephiroth blushed at her comment but Tifa frowned. She didn't like it when boys did that. She merely said it because one, it was the truth and they knew that and two, it always got her into trouble. But she needn't fret. She had seen the way Sephiroth looked at Aerith the minute they opened the door. Tifa leaned in towards Aerith and whispered the following:

"You know Aerith, I think he likes ya!"

She was confused but deep down, she felt light as a feather. She had seen Sephiroth earlier too and he resembled one of her old boyfriends, but Sephiroth…he had a different aura that caught her attention and she was impressed…in the oddest way ever…

At this point, Tifa took the opportunity to show them around. Normally, it was her "job" and she loved making new friends. Even her brother did but he usually loved to tease people.

Chapter 4

"Okay, there are the basketball courts where basketball players…er…play, and the coach for the basketball team would be my brother, Vincent. He's nice and if you wanna join, just go to room 53."

Yuffie tried to remember all the information Tifa had given her. She was amazed at how thoroughly she explained where the rooms were, who the teachers were, the students, the staff, etcetera. Tifa kneeled down a bit when she saw Yuffie struggling trying to remember all the information she had given them.

"Listen, Yuffie. If you need any help finding anything go to the principal's office and ask for me okay? I can help you out so that way you don't have to remember all these horrible stuff."

Yuffie beamed with joy. This girl is nice! I wonder why she hangs out with that geek, Rufus…

Aerith then spoke up.

"Are there any cheerleading tryouts?"

"Sure is! I tried it out once…eh…put it this way, it was not for me. It just didn't suit me very well. It's lead by Scarlet. She's a loathsome bitch so I suggest you don't get on her case. Sometimes she will take you in as a friend but only people she likes. So far, she has eyes on Cloud Strife."

Aerith giggled and poked Tifa on the shoulder. "You like him huh?"

"Let's not go to that right now."

Yuffie took this chance to join in on the conversation and they had let her talk the whole time, which was great. She loved to talk and judging them, they'd listen. Especially her sister because she was so understanding. Junior high and high school would be a breeze.

Author's Notes: Okay…so how was this one? If you notice some mistakes and stuff, I know about it…if grammatical and spelling errors…well I don't know because I rushed through this and really, I don't take the extra time to read it all over again. I'm too lazy. Anyway, this was a big twist wasn't it? Everyone was way too ooc. But if you've got a problem with that then sue me! *thinks about it* hm…*thinks about it more* er…nevermind. But anyway, I think this turned out really good…although I kinda sucked during the end…I was running out of ideas. So Scarlet…hm…she does fit the cheerleading type and so does Aerith…so that's why I put up that subject. The couples are way too obvious isn't it? Although I wanna do a little experiment with the couples deal. Reno's gonna be in this, just wait. I was planning to put him with a *coughI'm gonnagetkilledforthisbutI'mgonnacouplehimupwithacertain9thgrader* I think I made my point. And I'm really sorry about the erm…long important notice up there…I didn't really think it would take up a page but you know me! I talk too much…I ramble! Argh! Did you know Xenogears is a very bad addiction?? Well it is! *sighs* Anyway, I hope this is good enough for you people, especially Kat because she finds tons of mistakes! Which is good…it can do wonders to my English essays and crap like that…wheeee! Have fun! Enjoy! [Shut up!] Hey!
