Chapter I:

Lilie Moy had always wanted to come to the City, since she was very little. Her father had told her so many stories about it. She thought it sounded like the greatest place ever. It was the City of Shinra Inc., the greatest company ever known to the Planet. At least that's what she thought.

Her family was moving to the city from Costa Del Sol and this was the very first time she had ever been to Midgar City. Her parents were both scientists and they had been requested, personally, by the most famous scientist, Professor Hojo , Shinra Inc.'s head of the Science Department. So Lilie had heard, her parents were asked if they wanted to move to Midgar to help Professor Hojo in some of his experiments. All of the Moy's being very enthusiastic about it, they agreed. Of course, Lilie had her own reasons why she wanted to go to Midgar. She had always been very fond of the stories of the Turks, Shinra's special forces She had read up so many stories about them. She knew most of the legends and the famous names. Of all of the Turks she ever dreamed about meeting was the Head of the Turks, Tseng. It was said that he was one of the greatest Turks in history. He was one of her favorite Turks she had read about.

Of course, there was one other Turk she was facinated about too. She had read about the Turk in the history book one time and had always found him very facinating. In fact, she liked him more than Tseng. Now if only he was still alive, she would have loved to meet him.

The Turk she favored out of all the Turks in the history, was a man called Vincent Valentine. She had read all about him in the history books that she could find that had information about him. She just adored his story. She had heard from her father, a long time ago, that he had met Vincent Valentine once. When she asked, he told her as much as he could remember.

"He was quite a handsome young man when I had met him. I was very young though. He was no older than 27, I believe. Quite the silent one too. He didn't speak very much." Her father, Devid Moy had told her. "He had these brilliant blue eyes too. That was one thing I couldn't forget about him. His eyes must have been as blue as yours." he said tapping Lilie's nose softly, making her giggle.

Lilie just loved to read about Vincent Valentine. But her dreams of meeting him died when she found out that he had been killed a long time ago. So she could only dream about him.

"Lilie."

She snapped out of her day dream when she heard her mother speaking to her. She only reliezed that the car had finally stopped. She looked at her mother, who was smiling. "Lilie, we've arrived. Come. We're going inside now." Bella Moy said as she opened her door. Lilie hurried to follow her parents out of the car. She had to hold in her gasp when she looked up at the building standing before them. It was probably the biggest building in the world. She had never seen a building this large before. The top of the Headquarters disappeared into the clouds above so she really couldn't see it.

"Lilie, come along. Don't just stand there." Dr. Moy said as he took his daughter's hand. Lilie only looked at him with a smile as she let him pull her after her mother and himself.

"Daddy! Are we going to live here?" She asked looking back up at the building.

Dr. Moy only smiled down at her and shook his head. "Of course not. We have a house not far from here. We're just coming to meet with Professor Hojo first before we go home and settle in." He told her. Lilie nodded as they walked into the building.

The three of the Moys walked up to the security desk to ask for directions. "Hello, sir. How may I help you?" The woman behind the desk asked.

Dr. Moy pulled out his ID and showed it to her, as did his wife. "We're Dr. Devid and Bella Moy to see Professor Hojo, miss. He's expecting us." He told her. The woman took their IDs to run them through a scanner.

After a minute, she nodded as she handed them back. "Welcome to Shinra Inc., Doctors. I will have a security guard escort you to the labs." She said waving to one of the security guards, who walked over. "Please escort Dr. Moy and his family to Hojo's lab." She told him.

The guard nodded as motioned to the family of three. "Follow me and stay together. Shinra Inc. Headquarters is no place for a child." He said nodding to Lilie, who frowned at him. Dr. Moy only smiled. "You don't need to worry about her, sir. She won't get into mischief, will you, Lil?" He asked. The little girl shook her head as she smiled up at the stoic guard.

"Nope! I'll behave!" She said as cutely as she could.

A few of the other employees standing around had heard and awwed at how cute Lilie was being but the guard only stared dully at her.

"It's not that your daughter can get into mischief, Doctor. It's that we have many dangers." He told them and then turned to lead them to an elevator. Lilie frowned at the guard before sticking her tongue out at his back. The employees who had been watching only laughed.

The elevator they rode in was made out of glass so they could see the entire city from outside. Lilie couldn't help but stare in wonderment and confusion. The city was so packed with buildings and there was smoke and steam rising from pipes sticking out into the sky. She couldn't help but wonder, exactly how many people there were in Midgar City.

While the elevator stopped once for more passengers, Lilie didn't pay any attention to the person. All she saw from the guy in the glass was that he was wearing a deep blue uniform.

"Well, aren't you a few new faces?" The man asked in a cheerful voice.

Dr. Moy only smiled with his wife. "Uh-hmm. Yes, we just arrived. I am Dr. Devid Moy of Costa Del Sol. This is my wife and my assisstant, Bella. And this charming girl is my daughter, Lilie." He said as he placed his hands onto Lilie's shoulders. Lilie couldn't do anything but look up at the man now. There, she froze.

The man was a very handsome and young man. Younger than her father. I could have been at least 23 years old. He had long black hair, that fell neatly around his shoulders. His eyes were very dark but full of kindness. He even had a warm smile on his handsome face. And he was wearing the blue uniform of a Turk.

"Ah, Dr. Moy. I have heard of you. You wrote that brilliant piece on Mako Reactors. Well, I should introduce myself for I am being rude. I am the Head of the Special Forces called the Turks. The name's Tseng."

Lilie's heart nearly swelled up as a big smile appeared on her face. It was Tseng!!

"Ah, so you're Tseng. We've heard a lot about you. Of course, by a few other scientists and from my daughter. She's your biggest fan." Dr. Bella Moy said with a smile.

Tseng turned his eyes onto the blushing Lilie. He couldn't help but smile at her. "Really? I didn't know I had any fans. This is a pleasure." He gently took Lilie's hand then kissed the back of it. "Pleasure to meet you, Miss Lilie."

Lilie blushed even redder as she curtied for him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Tseng." She said. Tseng stood up straight. "Just call me Tseng." He told her before looking at the doctors. "Your daughter is extremely lovely. I suppose she gets her looks from you, Dr. Moy." He said looking at Bella, who blushed a little pink herself. Dr. Devid only smiled and shook his head. The three adults began to talk as the elevator continued to go up.

Finally the doors opened and another person was standing there. Tseng let out a deep sigh as soon as he saw him. "There you are! I've been looking all over for you." He said sounding extremely relieved.

The person happened to be a 13 year old boy, who was pretty handsome for his age. He had silky strawberry blonde hair and icy blue eyes that had immediately went to Lilie the very second the doors opened. He was wearing a white uniform with a deep blue shirt under it. Lilie couldn't help but stare right back at him. She had never seen someone around her age that wore a uniform before.

After a few seconds, the boy looked at Tseng. "I was just taking a walk around the building, Tseng. I told you where I was going." He said in a huffy way.

Tseng folded his arms giving him a cross look. "Rufus, this building has more than a hundred rooms. And there is only one me. You should have been more specific about where you were going." The young boy only rolled his eyes before looking at the doctors. Tseng noticed the other three again before looking a little embarrassed. "Oh. Excuse me. Doctors, Lilie, this is Rufus Shinra, the son of the President. Rufus, this is Doctors, Devid and Bella Moy. Along with their daughter, Lilie." He informed the curious looking three.

Rufus lifted his head a little higher, looking proud. Lilie felt a wave of annoyance wash over her. She didn't like this boy. He looked like a rich boy pansy. And it was more than likely that he was because the way he was acting. Lilie could already tell that if there was ever going to be a relationship between her and this boy, it wasn't going to be pretty.

"Well, Rufus Shinra. It is a deep pleasure to meet you. I'm looking forward in meeting your father sometime too." Dr. Devid Moy said with a bright smile.

Rufus had this look on his face that only Lilie could read very well. From what she could see, the look definitely said, 'Yeah, well, you shouldn't. Because he's a toad.' But instead of saying that, he said, "Pleasure is all mine, Dr. Moy. I can arrange a meeting sometime if you would like. My father may be busy though. He always is." There was that tone in his voice as if it was very true. Lilie could see Rufus Shinra's eyes had darkened at the word 'father'. She wondered what this guy's problem was. But instead of asking, she looked back out the window. She knew that Rufus Shinra was watching her. She could feel his eyes burning into her back.

"So what brings you here, Doctors?" Tseng asked.

The elevator finally stopped and they all walked off with the guard leading them. Tseng eventually dismissed the guard and said that he would take them now. The guard seemed happy though. He didn't seem to like being around Rufus Shinra.

The five of them walked into what looked like a lab. It was a huge lab. Bigger than any lab Lilie had ever seen. There were computers all over the place, and in a corner, there were tables with tubes, viles, burners, everything that could be seen in a Chemistry lab. There were a lot of people in lab coats too. In another corner there were a few rows full of strange looking creatures. Some of them looked very vicious though.

Lilie stopped to get a good look around. She was so amazed by everything. She had never seen a lab this big and with so much stuff. She didn't notice that her group was walking on without her. The adults seemed to busy talking to notice. Lilie just stood there for a long moment before she noticed that she was alone. She looked around to see where her parents had gone but there was too many people rushing around that she couldn't see them. She felt extremely nervous now. She was surrounded by strangers and there was not one familiar face amongst them.

"Mom? Dad?" She asked now walking around hoping to find them.

She almost bumped into a rushing by scientist. The man only glared at her as he walked on by. Lilie began to curl her fingers in her hair as she wandered around, trying to find her parents or Tseng. She didn't care for Rufus Shinra. She was still annoyed with him.

Unfortunately, she wasn't watching where she was going and she walked right into someone. That someone was built like a wall so she ended up staggering back, almost falling if it wasn't for that someone grabbing her arm to steady her. She looked up at who she had walked into and froze. This was one tall young man. He was a lot bigger than her. She had to crane her neck a little just to get a look at his face.

He was pretty young as well. Maybe at least 19 years old by the looks of him. He had very long, silver white hair that ran down to his lower back with long bangs hanging down the sides of his face. His eyes were glowing emerald green. He was wearing all black leather. And he had a pale complexion, yet he looked almost angelic. Almost like an angel in black.

He wasn't alone. The man was walking with two other men. One was a rich, plump looking man. He had graying blonde hair and a mustache and dark blue eyes. He was wearing a very clean, reddish-orange business suit. In his hand was a cigar, emitting greenish gray smoke.

The last man was a scientist, with no doubt. He had too had long black hair that was pulled back into a small ponytail and the most blackest eyes Lilie had ever seen. She did not like this man at all by the sight of him. His eyes were hidden behind silver, small rimmed glasses and he was wearing a white lab coat over his black clothing.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" The silver haired man said as he gently smiled down at the girl.

The other two men looked just as curious, though the scientist was more glaring at her. He didn't look like he wanted Lilie to be there at all. Lilie cowered under his gaze. She did not like him at all.

The silver haired man seemed to notice and he glanced over at the very much smaller man, frowning darkly at him. He then turned his eyes back onto Lilie. "Where did you come from, little one?" He asked in a kind voice.

Lilie looked back at him. "Uh..."

"Lilie! There you are!"

Lilie's head whipped around when she heard her father's voice. She saw her parents, Tseng and Rufus Shinra hurrying towards her. Her father looked very relieved but not too happy. "Lilie, didn't we tell you not to wander off?" Dr. Moy said. Lilie lowered her head a little in an ashamed way. The silver haired man only chuckled. "Don't be angry at her. She didn't do anything wrong. No harm done."

The doctor looked up at the young man. Tseng just stepped forward with a smile. "Hello, Mr. President, Professor, Sephiroth. It's a pleasant surprise to see you back so soon, Sephiroth. I didn't know you were coming back yet."

The silver haired man looked at him with a smile. "Hello, Tseng. I was just bringing the reviews on the war. That's all." His eyes turned to the two doctors. Tseng nodded as if reading his mind. He looked at the Professor. "Professor Hojo, you have a few visitors." He said motioning to the doctors.

Dr. Devid Moy stepped forward with a smile. "Professor Hojo. We meet at last. I am Dr. Devid Moy and this is my wife, Dr. Bella Moy. We believe you requested us to come help you with your work."

The scientist then nodded as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Ah, Dr. Moy. Yes. I'm so pleased that you have come. We do have a lot of work a head of us. You will begin as soon as possible, of course." He said. Dr. Moy nodded. Tseng then motioned to the man in the business suit, who took the cigar out of his mouth as he stepped forward. "Doctors, this is the President of Shinra Inc., President Augustice Shinra." He said. Both Dr. Devid and Bella Moy smiled in wonderment. "Mr. President! This is indeed a great honor." He said with a grin.

President Shinra was actually eyeing his son with a strange look before he returned the smile. "As it is for me, Doctor. I have read your paper on Mako. Brilliant, I must say."

Lilie was still staring up at the silver haired man with awe. She couldn't believe he was so tall and handsome. She had never seen a man like this before. The man noticed her looking at him and he just smiled at her. He gave her a light wink making her smile right back.

"And this strapping young fellow is Sephiroth, General of SOLDIER." The President of Shinra Inc. said as he clapped his hand on the tall young man's shoulder.

Lilie saw the amazed looks on her parents' faces. They looked almost too stunned for words. "The Sephiroth? Wow. This is a surprise. I never thought I would have gotten to meet you, General." Dr. D. Moy said holding out his hand. Sephiroth took his hand with a nod of greeting. "Surprises come in very unexpecting ways, Doctor." He then turned his eyes onto Lilie. "And what is this young lady's name? I don't think I heard it." he said, kneeling down on one knee. Lilie just gave him a shy smiled as she felt her mother place her hand onto her shoulder. "This is our daughter, Lilie." She said. Sephiroth just gave Lilie a smile as he took her hand gently into his. "Lilie. Such a pretty name. Pretty name for a pretty girl."

Lilie blushed bright red making everyone but Rufus Shinra and Professor Hojo laugh. Sephiroth stood up straight as he looked back at the Professor. "Well, I must go back to my duties. I'll be coming back to discuss about the new troops with you, Professor." he said. Hojo only nodded. With another wink at Lilie, Sephiroth walked away.

Professor Hojo turned to Devid. "Well, doctors. I am looking forward to working with you both. If you would come with me, we can discuss about what we will work on."

The two doctors nodded before pausing. "Oh, Devid." Bella said as she turned back around. "What about Lilie?"

Devid glanced from his daughter to Professor Hojo. He was pretty sure that she wasn't allowed to join them. The Professor looked a little annoyed. However, Rufus spoke first. He stepped forward, lifting his head a little high. "I can give her a tour around the building. I mean, if she would like to." He said. Both Doctors both smiled brightly. "Oh! That would be so nice of you, Young Shinra. Lilie, why don't you go along with Mr. Rufus Shinra. It'll give you something to do while we're here." Bella said. Lilie wasn't exactly looking thrilled of having Rufus Shinra as her tour guide but it was better than just standing around doing nothing. So she shrugged and rolled her eyes. "All right." She said dully. Her parents, Tseng and President Shinra all laughed at her lack of enthusiasm. Rufus, however, seemed to be annoyed. But no one paid attention.

"Ah, Tseng. Speaking of which, I need to speak to you about the security around here." The President said. Tseng nodded. All of the adults went off leaving Lilie and Rufus together.

There was a long silence before Rufus turned around, folding his arms behind his arms behind his back. "Well? Are you coming or not?" He asked impatiently. Lilie glared at him before she started to follow him.

The tour was very boring at first. Rufus had took Lilie to the top of the building to start there. Lilile was completely bored by the first ten minutes were up. She just followed him without saying anything. After the next five minutes while Rufus tried to explain what the President usually did, she yawned.

"Is the President's job really that boring?" She asked interuptting him in midsentence.

Rufus just gave her a cool look for interupting him. "No. It's a really exciting job. And I can't wait till I get to be the President." he said. Lilie rolled her eyes as she crinkled her nose. "How boring. I hate to see what's not exciting." She said in a bored tone. Rufus glared at her. "Oh really? If that's boring to you, what do you want to do? Be a science loving scientist? How original."

Lilie glared right back at him. "No. I want to be a Turk." She said in a state of matter tone.

Rufus gave a sharp laugh. "You?! A Turk?! Don't make me laugh!"

Lilie clenched her fists tightly to keep her temper from blowing. She hated it when someone laughed at her. "I can be a Turk if I want!" She said. Rufus smirked at her. "Come with me. Let me show you real Turks." He said offering his arm. Lilie blinked a few times in surprise. But then she frowned at her, folding her arms. "Go ahead and lead the way, pretty boy." She said. Rufus continued to smirk as he lowered his arm and lead her to the elevator.

They arrived on the 50th floor where there were quite a lot of people, rushing here and there. And most of them were wearing blue uniforms just like Tseng had. Lilie looked amazed as she looked around at the people.

Rufus only glanced around before he motioned for her to follow him. "Come on. This way." He said. Lilie looked at him but followed.

The two of them walked down a long hall before entering a room where there was some yelling. Lilie's eyes grew wide at what she was seeing. This room was where the Turks could train in whatever they did. It was a very large room. There were six large sparring mats lined near the wall while there were punching dummies near the other wall. Along with five punching bags. Two men were sparring on one of the mats. They were throwing their fists at one another, blocking and sending kicks. They didn't look like they were holding back at all. Another man was punching the hell out of a punching bag. Lilie stared with awe as she looked around the room. Her eyes stopped on a woman sparring with another man. They were duking it out just like the first two. But the woman was amazingly fast.

"Now, these are real Turks." Rufus said with a smirk.

Lilie couldn't help but smile as she slowly walked into the room to watch the Turks train. Rufus only folded his arms and followed her. "Wow. This is so cool." He heard her whisper. He rose an eyebrow smiling a little as he stepped up to her side. "You really want to be a Turk, don't you?" He asked. Lilie looked at him as if it was obvious. "Are you kidding?! I've dreamed about being a Turk since I was six. I've read all about them!" She said in an excited tone.

Rufus only tossed his bangs back. "Really? Well, I'll see if I can talk Tseng into letting you enroll in Turk training."

Lilie's eyes grew very wide at the suggestion. Her mouth fell down wide with surprise. "You would do that?" She gasped. Rufus lazily shrugged. "Sure." He then smirked at her. "Of course, I don't see the point. I know you'd never make it." He said. Lilie's eyes darkened as she glared at him. Her face started to turn a little red from rage. "I can make it. I know I can." She said seriously. Rufus only smirked. "We'll see." He shrugged. "You know anything about fighting?"

The red haired girl smirked right back at him. "Wouldn't you want to know?" She asked. Rufus grinned at her. "Why don't we find out right now? There's a mat free. Unless, of course, you're afraid." He said. Lilie's eyes narrowed at him as she rose a fist right under his nose. He only gave it a look before he smirked right back at her. "I'm not afraid of anything. And if you ever say that I am, I'll give you a black eye!" She threatened.

Rufus only rolled his eyes as he slapped her fist away from his face. "You know, threatening the son of the President of Shinra Inc. would get you put in prison." He said. Lilie gave him a cool look. "So what? They wouldn't throw a girl my age in prison just for teaching you a lesson." She said. Rufus grinned. "Well, then let's go."

Lilie pulled her hair back into a tight ponytail so it wouldn't be in the way. Her crystal blue eyes looking straight at the strawberry blonde haired boy who was taking off his white jacket so it wouldn't get ruined. Then they faced one another as they stepped onto the mat. They had removed their shoes so none of them would get seriously hurt.

"All right. Here's rule number one. Whoever gets shoved off the mat, the winner gets a point. The first person to ten points wins." Rufus said.

Lilie nodded. "Okay. Rule number two, no cheating. And absolutely no being a poor sport if you get knocked out off the mat."

Rufus nodded as he placed a fist onto his waist. "All right. Agreed. Rule number three, make it clean. That means no hitting below the belt."

Lilie shrugged. "Fine. Oh, one more. If you get pinned, you automatically lose."

Rufus grinned as he stood in a defensive stance. "All right. Sounds good to me. Get ready to be pinned, Lilianne."

Lilie glared at him. "My name is Lilie. Get it through your head, Rufus Doofus." She said spreading her feet apart and raising her hands. Rufus glared at her. And then they began their fight.

Some of the Turks had stopped what they were doing when they saw what was going on. The four sparring together all stopped and smirked when they saw the boss's kid facing a girl. They all slowly started to surrounded the mat to watch.

"Argh!" Rufus yelled as he swung his fist at Lilie, who quickly jumped to the side to avoid his fist. She swung up with her arm, knocking his fist away from her. She spun in a circle and threw her elbow into his gut. He staggered back giving her a look while holding his side. "Hey! I wasn't ready!"

Lilie gave him a bitter sweet smile. "Tough titty said the rough kitty." She said as she rushed forward now throwing her fists at him.

Rufus quickly blocked each attack, backing up a little. He quickly glanced over his shoulder to see where he was going before he caught Lilie's fist and pulled her forward as he ducked around her, giving her a shove from behind. She gasped as she staggered right off the mat. She turned and gave him a cold look. "Hey! What's with the shoving!" She hissed. Rufus gave her a bitter smile. "Tough titty." The Turks around them laughed.

The fight only heated up as the two fought on. They were throwing their fists and feet at one another and none of them could hit the other because the other would block pretty quickly. Some of the Turks were now making bets about who was going to win. The two youngsters didn't even relieze that Tseng and Sephiroth had stepped into the room, looking confused.

"What's going on here?" Tseng asked as he pushed through the small crowd.

One of the Turks just shrugged. "The boss's kid and some girl are duking it out." He told him. Tseng's eyes lit up see Rufus ducked under a flying kick from Lilie. Sephiroth looked just as surprised but smiled as he watched her spin around and throw a fist right into Rufus's side, sending him staggering off the mat.

"That's six points for me! Six to five!"

Rufus glared at Lilie. "No it's not! It's Five to six. I'm six!"

Lilie glared back at him. "Oh yeah?! I'll show you!" She rushed forward, swinging around to behind him as he tried to throw his fist at her. She grabbed his shoulders, and knocked his feet out from under him while pulling him downward. Rufus landed hard onto his back with a loud grunt. Lilie quickly jumped onto his chest, pinning his arms down. "Ha! Pinned ya! I win!" She laughed.

Rufus blinked in surprised before his face darkened as he shoved her off. He got to his feet glowering at her as she stood up and brushed herself off with a satisfied smirk. It was only when an applause broke out around them did they noticed that they were being watched. Rufus's mood seemed only to darken from embarrassment. He had just been beaten by a girl right in front of all of the Turks. Talking about major humilation. He tossed his bangs out of his eyes as he glared at her. "You only got lucky because I was taking it easy on you. It's just because you're a girl."

Laughs erupted around the two while Lilie just glared hard at him. "Why you...!" She said starting forward with her fist raised.

But someone caught it as she started to swing and she looked up at the smiling face of Sephiroth. "That's enough, you two. You've proved your point." He looked at Rufus with a smirk. "Besides, she's pretty good. You should give her some credit, Rufus Shinra."

Rufus just folded his arms and turned his head away, not giving in. Tseng just chuckled as he walked forward. "I must say. I am impressed. Is that the first time you ever fought anyone, Miss Moy?" He asked. Lilie lowered her arm as Sephiroth let it go. "Sort of. I've learned a lot of Martial arts and all." She said. Tseng smiled. "Well, you have trained very well."

Lilie smiled proudly as she looked at Rufus, who rolled his eyes. "Whatever. I still think you won't make it." He told her. Lilie ignored him. Tseng and Sephiroth smiled curiously. "Make it in what?" The silver haired General asked. Lilie smiled brightly. "Turk training! He doesn't think I have what it takes!" She said. Tseng smiled slyly as he rubbed his chin. "Turk training, hm? Is that what you're interested in?" He asked. Lilie nodded vigorously. "Yeah! And since you're the leader, what do you think?! Do you think I could be a Turk, Tseng?!" She asked looking rather hopefully.

Tseng and Sephiroth looked at one another with smiles before they shrugged. "I don't know. You are a little younger than most canidates for Turks." The Leader of the Turks said. Lilie's smile faded as she felt her hope starting to crash. Rufus just smirked. "See."

Sephiroth shook his head as he folded his arms, with a crooked smile. "Well, the thing is, Tseng. Even though she's young, she just beat Rufus Shinra in a sparring match. And that's saying something." Lilie couldn't help but laugh at the look on the young Shinra's face.

Tseng just pushed his own long bangs out of his eyes. "You have a point there, Sephiroth. We'll just have to keep our eyes on Lilie then, won't we? In Turk training, of course." He said. Lilie's heart nearly pound right out of her chest as she felt her smile grow wide on her face. "You really mean that?!" She asked. Tseng and Sephiroth both laughed. "Of course, Lilie. But we will need to talk with your parents about it first." The Leader of the Turks said.

Lilie bounced up and down with happiness. She didn't see the mysterious smirk on Rufus's face as he turned away. "I just know they'll let me! They know how much this kind of thing means to me!" Lilie said happily.

"Well tell you one thing. I'm going to wish you good luck." Rufus said as he kept his back facing her. Lilie blinked a few times as she looked at him in wonder. Rufus turned around giving her a smirk. "Because you're going to really need it." Then he walked away with a glaring Lilie making a face at him.

Tseng and Sephiroth only laughed. "Don't take him so serious, Lilie. That's his way of saying he likes you." The Silver haired man said.

Lilie pulled a face. "Ugh! Yuck!" The two men only laughed again.

Later that night, Lilie was sitting in her new room of the apartment her family was staying in. The house maids had already unpacked her things and her room was all set. Her bed sat near the window so she could look out at the city, which she was doing at the moment. She smiled as she looked at all of the lights. It was so beautiful with all of the lights. She couldn't think it was so bad at all.

With a peaceful sigh, Lilie looked back down at the drawing she had been working on. For someone her age, she was a very good artist. She had been offered to join an art school but she didn't take the offer. She was drawing the people she had met that day. At the moment, she was finishing up the drawing of Rufus Shinra. She smiled as soon as she was done. The drawing of Rufus Shinra had amusment on his face, the smirk he had given her. Lilie couldn't help but admire that drawing. She wouldn't admit it to anyone, but she did think that Rufus was pretty cute. Stubborn, pighead and spoiled, but cute. She just knew things were going to be very interesting now that her parents had approved her to joining the Turk Training courses.
