"Who is she?"

"I don't know. A man just told me to take care of her."

"And you said yes?"

"For some reason, I feel like I need to protect her."

"For all we know, she could be a lunatic!"

"She looks like a sweet girl."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Oh look. I think, she's waking up."

Chloe opened her eyes slowly dreading what she might see.

"Hello I'm Aerith." A brunette woman said with a smile.

"And I'm Yuffie." A black-haired female said.

"Hello Aerith, Yuffie." Chloe said picking herself up from the bed she was in.

"Welcome to Traverse Town!" Aerith chimed.

"Tra-Traverse Town. Oh my, am I in a different world?" Chloe asked.

"Well yes. The man said you might be a little panic." Aerith said looking at the girl.

"What man? Oh no Carter." Chloe said as she picked herself up from the bed.

"The man that brought you from your world. I'm guessing his name was Carter?" Aerith said finishing the sentence in a question.

"No Carter was a boy." Chloe said slightly smiling and starting to pace the room.

"Hey calm down. Your to young to have a heart attack." Yuffie said sarcastically.

"I'm calm." Chloe said as she stopped walking back and forth.

"Yuffie, I think the keyblade master is near." A brunette man said as he frantically opened the door.

"Well then lets go and see this guy." Yuffie said excitedly.

"Wait. Did I just hear you say keyblade?" Chloe asked curiously.

"Yeah, you heard of it to kid?" The man said.

"I'm no kid and the name is Chloe." Chloe said feisty.

"Oh well I'm sorry Chloe. The names Leon." The man said while putting out a hand for her to shake.

Chloe shook his hand. "Do you two mind if I come with?" Chloe asked.

"Well kid... I mean Chloe you might be in the way." Leon said.

"Oh come on Leon." Yuffie said going to the doorway.

"Ok, you can come but stay out of my way." Leon said walking outside with Yuffie.

Chloe hurried out and closed the door behind her.

Chloe walked through the dark alleyway frantically jumping at every sound she heard.

"I'm gonna tell you this now, because I don't think you know. There are some creatures that are named the heart..." Leon said before he was interrupted by a piercing scream.

"AHH!" Chloe exclaimed as she saw a creature with big yellow eyes, sharp claws, and antennas at her feet. She ran forward to a huge door and didn't look back.

"Hey, Chloe wait!" Yuffie yelled as she saw the frightened young girl run.

Chloe pushed open the huge door and quickly shut it back. She let out a huge sigh of relief as she saw people congregating with each other.

"The creatures must not be out here." She said to herself.

Chloe walked down a series of stairs till she stopped and saw an abandoned outdoor cafe. She walked over to the cafe and sat down.

"What's wrong kid?" A sultry tone asked from behind Chloe.

Chloe turned around to see a woman dressed in a green evening gown, her hair was in a bun, and her make up was done nicely.

"I don't know where my world is." Chloe said sadly.

"Same here. One minute I'm going to a party, the next minute I'm waking up with a huge headache in a different world." The woman said as she sat down across from Chloe.

"Oh, that's why you're so dressed up." Chloe said.

"Exactly why I'm dressed up. In my world I used to go to parties every night, but I can kiss that life goodbye." The woman said taking her hair out of the bun.

"Why?" Chloe asked.

"Because I'll never get back home." The brunette woman said messing with her hair.

"How do you know that?" Chloe asked.

"Because I don't know where I am, and even if I did. I don't have transportation." The woman said looking down.

"Well...you shouldn't give up just like that. That's pathetic." Chloe exclaimed passionately.

"Are you calling me pathetic?" The woman asked, offended.

"I'm calling your hope pathetic. I'm simply not gonna sit here and feel sorry for you and I. I'm gonna do something. I'm gonna find the man that brought me here." Chloe said picking herself up from the chair.

"Well good for you kid come back here when your plan fails." The woman said chuckling at the young girl.

Chloe walked away smoothly. "Oh yeah and the name is Chloe." She said back to the woman who was still chuckling.

Chloe walked five steps and felt a sharp pain in her stomach. "Man, I'm hungry." She whispered to herself, clutching her stomach.

"Maybe they have food in there." She said walking up the steps to a heavily lighted shop.

"Still haven't found 'em? Keep your chin up. Take another look around town." A blonde man said to an obviously upset brunette with spiky hair.

The spiky haired boy walked softly past Chloe and out the door. "Another kid! What's going on?" The blonde man said.

"Well. Sorry didn't mean to bother you." Chloe said walking to the door.

"Naw, sorry kid didn't mean to offend ya. What did you want?" The man said.

"Well first of all I want you to call me Chloe, second I was wondering if you got any food?" Chloe asked.

"Sorry Chloe, but I don't have any food with me. But if you go to my friend Yuffie who is in a hotel in the second district, she should have some." The man said nicely.

Chloe started to hit herself on the head. "Stupid, stupid, stupid." Chloe whispered to herself.

"You alright?" The man said.

"Yeah, I'm ok. Thanks for the help..."

"Cid." The man said finishing her sentence.

"Thanks Cid." Chloe said and walked out the door.

Chloe walked outside to see Leon kneeling at the ground holding his sword and the brunette from the shop holding the keyblade.

"Now...you're...gonna...you're gonna..." The brunette said exhausted as he collapsed to the ground.

"Aw, you're slipping, Leon." Yuffie said walking to Leon's side.

"I went easy on him. Looks like things are worse than we thought. A lot worse." Leon said looking at the boy.

Chloe ran to the unconscious boy and kneeled down beside him. "Leon, what did you do?" Chloe exclaimed.

"Hey! Where have you been?" Yuffie asked happily walking over to Chloe.

"What did you do Leon?" Chloe asked again.

"Relax kid. He's alright just unconscious." Leon reassured Chloe.

"Why did you attack him?" Chloe asked in bewilderment.

"Because he wouldn't let me see the keyblade." Leon said picking up the boy.

"Wait! The keyblade is yours?" Chloe asked.

"No unfortunately. The keyblade choose him as the bearer." He said as he started to walk.

"I'm supposed to follow him!" Chloe exclaimed as she looked at the boy who looked about the same age as her.
