Chaos handed us these little books with a lock and key and we just stared at it. I didn't know what it was and I didn't want to know what I'm supposed to do with it.
"Ok, it's a diary. You write your feelings in it. Just don't steal each other's little books, ok guys?" Chaos asked. Our jaws dropped. Kuja and Kefka opened theirs and started writing in it. I waited for everybody to start writing in theirs and I left them bunched up in a group. I walked into a place away from them, sat down and opened my little bound book.

Dear diary,
This is ridiculous! You don't see the Cosmos warrior's writing in diaries! Anyways, I'm Sephiroth. I have almost no recollection of my memories and for some reason, a blonde haired kid named Cloud always looks at me funny... Is there something in my teeth? Whatever, the kid is another moron brandishing a large sword. I know, my sword is large... long. It's not large, it's slim and long. Masamune is not a large sword, so I am not clearly a moron. Why do I even bother with this? You are a stupid book! Books aren't meant to help win a war! Oh well, I've seen stranger... (Yes, watching Kuja and Kefka suck face is very strange... What's stranger is that they like each other, yikes!) I do not like you and I don't wish to speak to you anymore.
Sephiroth
P.S. - That Cloud kid may have a thing for that Terra girl of Kefka's. May.

I shut the little black book and put it away. I was going to be very careful with what I was going to put in this book because Kefka is a very shady person. I don't want that book anywhere near him. He wandered around me and tried to pluck my diary out of my pocket.
"Try to take that little book and I will bite your hand off." I snapped at the creepy clown.
"Touchy!" He exclaimed and threw his hands up in the air before wandering around again. Ultimecia placed her hand on my shoulder and I shot her a death stare. She rolled her eyes at me at ran her hands down my arm. I shook her off and got off the ground.
"You doing anything?" she asked with a snootily flirty voice. She expects me to go on a date with her? Fat chance.
"Getting away from you." I replied.
"Do you want a drink?" she asked and grabbed hold of my arm.
"You know I don't drink." I hastily replied and left her on her own. She turned and sat on Garland's lap. Creepy...

I wandered the Lands of Discord to clear my thoughts. Manikins ran around the land madly, ignoring me and searching for enemies to destroy. Stupid thoughtless creatures. Am I one of them? Am I only a copy? Nah, I'm just being paranoid again. The gravel of the path crushed beneath my feet as I continued to walk away. I wonder if that girl... her name escapes me... Tifa was it? Well, I wonder how she's doing without Cloud. I thought about giving Tifa a visit, but realised it was a stupid idea. I then saw a pink manikin dash across the horizon. It was unlike the others. It had a strong presence and an incredibly remarkable sense of balance and speed. I was captivated by it for a second and then I had to almost slap myself. Falling for a manikin? Really? I never thought I was that far gone.

I ignored the manikin and pressed forward. I heard two sets of footsteps come from a fair distance away. I pulled out Masamune and hid behind a natural rock formation. I heard them chatter and realised it was only Tidus and Cloud. Masamune was returned to its resting place and I surprised the two boys.
"Hello." I said. Tidus almost jumped out of his skin and Cloud had a miniature heart attack. I chuckled at them.
"Not funny." Tidus commented.
"It is too." I replied. Cloud patted his chest in order to calm his heart down.
"We're heading out. Can't stand some of those idiots in the lair." Tidus said.
"You want to come?" Cloud asked.
"Why?" I asked cautiously. I suddenly remembered that Cloud was one of my enemies and now he was my ally.
"If we have to work together, may as well be on good terms with each other." Cloud replied to my question.
"I still don't forgive you for turning on me." I muttered and crossed my arms over my chest.
"I couldn't let you hurt Tifa! She's my friend!" Cloud exclaimed.
"Guys! Calm down! Cloud has a point." Tidus said and moved in between us. As if that would stop me from slitting his throat. Cloud grunted and turned his back to me. I tugged his hair and when he turned around, I pointed at Tidus.
"Very childish Sephiroth." Tidus replied.

"If you have to fight alongside one another, learn to get along!" Tidus exclaimed and turned to face me. Cloud stared at me with one of those blank expressions of his. It's annoying, like Kefka in general.
"Agreed." I replied. The pink manikin from before ran up to us and stood watching the conversation unfold. Those carbon eyes stared at me and clawed at my heart. I shook my head and rubbed my temples. Tidus and Cloud turned to see that manikin staring at us.
"That's gross." Cloud remarked.
"No, the manikin is a copy of somebody." Tidus replied. Cloud nodded and then looked at me.
"What?" I asked with a sour tone.
"You like a manikin!" Cloud taunted. Tidus slapped the back of his head.
"No, you idiot! He likes the person the manikin is a copy of." Tidus mused.
"Do not." I replied and walked away. The manikin watched me leave and then went about its own business.

Tidus and Cloud wandered after me. I stopped at another close by rock formation and lent up against it.
"Are you coming or not?" Cloud asked.
"Fine." I replied. The road ahead was fairly smooth and free of rocks of any kind. Then the road faded into pavement that opened up into a castle's balcony.
"So, this is where you two hide?" I asked whilst looking around at the fading stone.
"Uh-huh." Tidus replied. He wandered around for a warm spot and lounged on the concrete, soaking up the sun. Cloud laid down next to him and they looked at me.
"Come on Mr. Vampire! Come soak up some sun! It won't kill you!" Tidus mused.
Cloud chuckled at Tidus and exclaimed, "Good one!" I sighed and shook my head. I unbuckled my coat and lay down next to Tidus.
"See? You're not dying!" Cloud joked.

About an hour later, I heard three sets of footsteps enter the perimeter.
"Sephiroth, relax." Tidus said as he saw me look around. I let my mind wonder as I stared at the clouds again.
"Tidus!" A shy voice exclaimed.
"Yuna!" Tidus exclaimed in return, waving at the girl and went to go meet her.
"Get up lazy bones!" Tifa exclaimed to Cloud. He was sleeping and was quite sunburnt. Lucky for me, I never burn, or tan for that matter. She laughed at Cloud, who slowly woke up to find Tifa's eyes staring into his. He got up and the two of them went off together. I was alone, or so I thought. I got off the cold concrete and picked up my coat. A set of footsteps came out of the darkness. I turned to see who it was and I just stared in silence.

When the sun hit her face, her ice blue eyes sparkled and it almost made her seem like an angel. Her pink hair spiked out to one side and then fell down her shoulder like a waterfall on the other. Her skin was pale, but nowhere near as pale as mine.
"They ditched you too huh?" she asked. Her voice was low but had a sense of authority to it. She wore a cream and brown coloured uniform with a red cape falling down her left side like a train to a wedding dress. Her weapon was in its sheath hanging behind her. Her necklace bore a lightning bolt. She looked at me in confusion. I must have been freaking her out. But I couldn't say anything, my tongue was tied. I was too captivated by her to do anything but stop and stare. Maybe Tidus was right. I wasn't in love with a manikin; I was in love with the original. Maybe, I was in love with Lightning.
