Chapter 2
Look Both Ways
A group of little children ran toward the crosswalk. "Hold on a minute, kids!" a voice said. A tall, buff man with blond hair appeared, carrying a stop sign. "Look both ways before crossng the street."
"Hey," a boy said. "Aren't you Cloud Strife?"
"Why yes I am!" Cloud said. He led the children across the street. I get this lame job as a crossing guard.
"Thank you, sir!" A little girl said. Cloud left his crossing guard job and walked over to the Hollow Bastion bar. He ordered a large soda and a basket of boneless chicken wings.
Leon gazed at the dejected soldier. "What's wrong, sucky day at work?"
"No, sucky job!" Cloud said. "Don't laugh!" He whispered the secret in Leon's ear.
"Crossing guard, eh?" Cid said, apparently nosy. "We all got horrible jobs! So do the people in the other worlds!"
"I talked to several people from the other worlds!" Leon said. "They all like to complain about their day jobs."
"Especially Yuffie and Aerith!" Cid said. "They were here drowning their sorrows in triple layer Nachos and other high-calorie foods!"
"I'd hate to see what they do for a living!" Cloud said, slurping at his soda.
Who should I do next?
