The girl had yet to wake up. Tifa was surprised when Cloud called her.

"Hello? Cloud? Is that you?" Tifa asked when she answered the phone.

"Yeah. It's me." He's voice sounded strange. His voice was the usual monotone but there was a hint of something else.

"Cloud? What's wrong?" Tifa asked. There was a moment of silence. Tifa thought she said something she shouldn't have. He spoke before she could however.

"Tifa. I'm coming home. Do you still have a heal materia?" Cloud asked.

". . .Yes, why? You're not hurt are you?!" Tifa said, her voice raising at the last sentence.

"No. I ran into someone in the outskirts and she's hurt." Tifa raised an eyebrow, though Cloud couldn't see her.

"What?! Someone in the outskirts? And a girl?" Tifa exclaimed.

"I'll be there in about fifteen minutes. She passed out and is wounded badly." Tifa understood.

"Aright. I'll be ready when you get here." Tifa was already going through the things she would need in her head and picturing where they were.

"Okay I'll get what you need." Tifa said aloud.

"Thanks." With that Tifa heard the click as he turned his phone off. She wondered how badly the girl was wounded and how it happened.

Cloud had arrived about fifteen minutes later like he said and Tifa had healed her wounds. She was now asleep on a bed upstairs. Tifa was downstairs and was opening for the night. Cid was already there and was talking about his ship. Cloud was out shopping for food and took Denzel with him. Marlene was playing with Barret in the booth to her left.

Tifa was wondering when the girl would wake up when she heard a loud thud from above.

"What was that?" Cid asked looking towards the stairs that led to the second floor. Tifa had an idea.

"Ow." Cydney had smacked the head board of the bed she was sleeping on with her fist. It wasn't like she was mad at it or anything. It was her dream.

She ran hard and fast but she never got far before he appeared in front of her, make her turn sharply and run in the opposite direction. Around her where collapsed buildings. She thought she could out run him but he was to fast for her. She should have she couldn't out run him though. Who could out run Sephiroth?

"You can't run and you can't hide." His voice called, sending shivers down her spine and spurring her on further. She had always admired Sephiroth but she was scared he would hurt her. The look in his eyes every time she saw them. . . there was something wrong with them. There was something in them that she couldn't quite place.

Cydney stopped a moment to catch her breath. At the same time Sephiroth caught her. A strong and muscled arm wrapped around her middle, pinning one of her arms to her sides. Another hand went over her mouth, silencing her. His head was close to hers and his breath was calm and cool against her neck.

"I brought you here. You are mine to do with as I please. Let yourself be taken. your only making it hard on yourself." Sephiroth's voice was seductive and dark and it sent a violent shiver down her spine. She felt the heat rise to her ears and cheeks. She couldn't stand it. She had to get out of this mess. So she did the only thing she could think of. She use her free hand and punched him.

Cydney clutched her hand. Her knuckles were bloody from the impact of her punch. She was stronger than she thought. She was sitting up in the bed she'd woken up in. Cydney looked around but couldn't see very well. The moonlight only illuminated a little bit of the room. From what she could see it was a little plain. There was another bed next to her. She let her eyes wonder over the room but nothing really stood out to her. She couldn't tell were she was but she swore she knew this place. She searched her memories. What had happened before she passed out?

"Oh! I remember!" She said quietly, dumbfounded that she'd forgotten. She'd run into Sephiroth, Cloud, Reno and Rude. It was not something one forgets quickly. Yet she did. She smacked herself in the head. She even knew where she was. She'd watched "Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children" two dozen times. The room she was in was even lit with the same faint moonlight. She smacked herself again. As she did she heard a knock on the door. Cydney wanted to answer but hesitated. This wasn't her home. Lucky for her though the person walked in without being invited. Cydney gasped.

It was Tifa Lockheart.

She looked just as pretty in person as Cydney thought.

"You're awake. That's good." Tifa came closer to her and sat on the bed next to her.

"How are you feeling? I healed you wound but do you feel dizzy or anything?" Tifa asked. Cydney shook her head.

"I feel fine, thanks to you." Cydney said, smiling kindly. Tifa smiled back.

"I'd like to talk to you but I can't stay away from the bar to long while it's open. Would you please come downstairs with me?" Tifa asked, seemingly a little hesitant.

"Yes, of course." Cydney said smiling happily. Tifa seemed to warm up to her with that. She got up and Cydney followed her downstairs. When she got downstairs she noticed Barret, Marlene, and Cid. Marlene and Barret were playing and talking while Cid had his feet up on the counter.

"Cid!" Tifa scolded.

"Yes!" Cydney said out of reflex at the same time Cid grunted. Tifa and Cid looked at her, the other two hadn't heard.

"Sorry." Cydney looked down at her feet in embarrassment.

"Yer name's Cyd then?" Asked Cid looking at her as she looked up. She smiled a little.

"My name's Cydney but most people call me Cyd." She answered. Cid got up and walked over to her. He streched out his hand and gave a toothy smile.

"Name's Cid. Cid Highwind." Cydney's smile turned friendly but shy. She shook his hand.

"My name's Cydney Laraine. I'm happy to meet you Mr. Highwind." Cydney said.

"Mr?" Cid looked upset. Cydney tilted her head to the side.

"Yes. Is there something wrong?" Cid looked at her.

"We're both adults here. Ya don't have ta call me Mr." Cid said shaking his head. Cydney laughed a quiet sweet laugh.

"I'm fifteen." Both Tifa and Cid stared at her. They were dumbfounded. Barret finally noticed them. He walked over, Marlene holding her hand.

"What's up? Who's she?" Cid turned to Barret.

"How old would ya say she is?" He asked. Barret eyed him.

"This a trick?" He asked, clearly suspicious.

"No really." Tifa said. Barret looked at Cydney for a moment.

"I don't know. Twenty-five?" Cydney laughed.

"I'm fifteen." She stated again. Before Barret could freak out Cloud came in.

"We need to go." Cloud said the moment he came in. Denzel followed behind him. Tifa turned to him.

"What's wrong Cloud?" Tifa asked. He walk over to her. Denzel went to Marlene.

"Denzel, Marlene. You to go play over there." Cloud said, pointing to the other side of the room.

This seems important. I think I'll go with the kids. Cydney thought. She followed the two children to the other side of the room. No one stopped her.

"My name's Marlene and this is Denzel." Said Marlene, making a cute face as she sat down next to Cydney who'd just sat down in a booth.

"Oh? That's a cute name, Marlene. My name's Cydney." She said, looking down at the child, smiling. Marlene smiled back. She seemed to just know that Cydney would be a good friend. She hugged her arm. Looking over a Denzel, who was standing next to the table, Marlene spoke to him.

"Denzel. Come sit down." Denzel looked at Cydney first. She knew he was feeling acqard about meeting strangers so she smiled at him.

"Denzel. It's okay. I don't bite." Denzel visibly relaxed and sat across from the two of them. Denzel and Marlene started talking about their adventures recently. Cydney already knew them thanks to "Advent Children" so she couldn't help but listen in on Cloud and the other's conversation. She caught few things about Shinra, a trip somewhere, the other AVALANCHE members and Sephiroth but couldn't here most of the conversation. She did here one line inparticular.

"Who's going to watch Marlene and Denzel while we're gone?" It was Tifa who'd asked. Marlene had paused in the middle of their conversation which aloud Cydney to speak.

"Hold on you guys. I'm going to go talk to the other for a moment." Marlene scooted out of the booth so she could get out. Cydney walk over to the others.

"Excuse me." The others turned to look at her. She blushed. She didn't like being the center of attention.

"I can babysit Marlene and Denzel while you're gone." The others looked at her dumbstruck.
