Alright! I've had some Writers Block for a while so sorry for the slow updates! Well, hope you enjoy this chapter! It will be slightly shorter than the others, like the last one. But I'll try to fatten this chapter up as much as possible xD

ATTACK IMAGINATION!... Please ignore my weirdness...


4/August/1998

Elliot and I had just gotten called into Veld's office. Like usual, I stopped just outside the door and tidied up my suit. "Done?" Elliot asked, tapping his fot rather impatiently. I nodded at him.

We stepped into the orange lighted room. It had two chairs, resting in front of a desk. "Cissnei, Elliot! Take a seat." A voice boomed over us, we did what we were told. There was a man sitting in a expensive chair. He had rich brown hair and looked somewhere in his late thirties or or early forties. And he seemed to have a.. Prosthetic arm. He mumbled, Elliot slightly frowned.

"A group named AVALANCHE has tried to take out a reactor there, and we suspect that they might be moving ahead to another Sector. So Cissnei, your next mission you will have to go alone and undercover as a Honey Bee Inn girl." I gaped at him. "Then, do your best to take out as many of them as possible or maybe even go undercover in AVALANCHE. If you do join for a short period you can be relieved of the Honey Bee Inn job." I sighed, taking the option in to not have one of the most embarrassing jobs. Veld turned to Elliot. "So Elliot, that means you get another few days, or possibly weeks off." Elliot grinned at the news.

I had gone back to the girls and told them my next mission.

"Hey, you know... Being a Honey Bee girl isn't going to be that bad..." Sierra smirked, "you can make all the boys swoon over you..."


5/August/1998

Turns out I had to leave for my mission at two in the afternoon, so I had tons of time to get ready. I mean, it was seven o' clock.

"We should get you a really nice dress for you! And it's your birthday anyways!" Sierra announced, everyone at our table heard her. Reno, Alex and Slade stared at me.

"Yeah, we know that it's your birthday... But What? Why a dress?" Reno asked, surprised that I was going to wear a dress. Turks don't really have parties, so we hardly ever dress up.

"She's going undercover as a Honey Bee girl!" Kylie blurted out as I was going to reply. This time the boys gaped at the news. I banged my forehead against the table, embarrassed.

"Cissnei! Don't do that!" Sierra pulled me up. "You're going to get a big bruise there and then you won't be accepted!" I sighed.

"That's the point..." I said monotonously, I kind of wanted to get a bruise now that she brought the opportunity up...

"Lets just go get that outfit before you do..." She dragged me. She was pretty damn strong! Kylie laughed for a while and followed me... Well, me getting dragged by Sierra that is.

On our way to some market, I had persuaded them to not by me a dress. They listened but the outfit they gave me wasn't much better. They had got me some boots and a completely black outfit.

"You done yet?" They shouted to me while I changed into the black tank top. It was held up by two intersecting leather straps that crossed over my chest, serving as a choker. I also wore a pair of matching black tight shorts, held up with a thick white belt with a fat buckle.

"Yeah..." I stepped outside, it was quite awkward wearing this thing... You know, come to think of it... Our uniforms aren't restricting at all... Not to mention revealing.

"You look great!" Kylie exclaimed, she sounded like a school girl.

"Do a spin!" Sierra shouted happily. I groaned at spun around. "That will definitely get you in!" She said excitedly.

"Why do you want me to get in anyway?" I whined, she was acting desperate.

"Because then we get free entries!" I gawked at her. She's just unbelievable.


I had put my suit over my new clothes, still embarrassed by it. But I would have to wear things like this all the time when I go to Honey Bee Inn. I stepped into the helicopter, I was not looking forward to this. Especially because Reno was piloting this and I had to sit next to him... I made myself comfortable.

"Excited, yo?" Reno smirked at me, more sly than his usual one.

"Yes, Reno!" I shouted. "This is the greatest opportunity in my life!" I rolled my eyes and stared out the window. He just laughed and kept flying the plane.

"Well, enjoy the flight." You know, for someone that doesn't really take his job seriously, he actually made the flight enjoyable!

He dropped me off a little far away from Honey Bee Inn so that no one gets suspicious.

I walked up to the guard-person at the front after taking off my uniform and shuriken, tossing them into some bushes. I had some knives in my boots. I was grateful that I had good aim or they would be useless.

"You're pretty nice lookin'..." The man replied, "you wanna become a Honey Bee girl, I'm guessing?" I nodded, I tried to put on my best sassy attitude.

"Only reason why I'm here." I smirked, hopefully, I pulled it off.

"Well, come on in then! We're a little short on employees right now, so I don't see why you can't start the job right now." I grinned.

"Alright then." I walked into the building. It was really yellow and bright. It kind of blinded me.

"Ooo! Are you a new Honey Bee girl?" A peppy voice asked, I saw a girl that was dressed in a revealing bumble bee costume. Complete with wings. I twitched at the sight. 'I-I have to wear... THAT?' "I'm Suzzie! Follow me!" I hated her voice. It was too high.

She lead me into a room that was opposite the entrance. But I can't really say that because every single door in here is the same, the only way to spot the difference is from the names at the top of them.

"Well, this is our changing room!" She showed me a small, dimly lit orange room. There were only three stools, and they were already all taken up by other girls. Clothes were practically scattered all over the place. They handed me an identical costume that they had for me to change into. I was hesitant at first, but this is my job...

After changing, one of the girls went out the room, now leaving me a chair to (finally) sit on. I fumbled with the blush, almost dropping it completely. A brunette sighed at came up to me.

"Have you ever used make up before?" She raised an eyebrow, opening the petite container and applied some blush for me. I closed my eyes, not wanting any to get in. I shook my head, my eyes still closed. I could imagine her shocked face, staring at me while still dusting my face.

"... Well, I'm going to do some mascara now..." 'Mascara?... What's that?' I still didn't dare to open my eyes, that was a good choice because then I felt some sort of comb... On my eyelashes...

I think it had been twenty minutes of sitting down, closing my eyes before I could finally stand up. I looked in the mirror, I was quite shocked at what I saw.

I had a smoky look around my eyes, merged with some purple. My cheeks were slightly redder than usual and I had... Pick lipstick? I had an urge to go find a tap and wash it off but I didn't really want to sit down for another thirty minutes, doing nothing.


It's finally closing time! It wasn't long before I had changed out of the horrible outfit and back into my black one.

I walked out of the shining building. I watched the neon lights go off, making the land where I was standing suddenly black. I looked around for the bush I had left my uniform and shuriken. I l retrieved my shuriken. If I was going to temporarily join, I had to prove that I was worthy... Or just ask around of information, but if I do that I would have to be a Honey Bee girl for a while... And that's the last thing I want.

I walked into the main 'city' and took a look around. I asked around for AVALANCHE but no one seemed to know anything about it. There was a man in ragged clothing, wearing a camouflage bandanna. I tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me, do you know where AVALANCHE is?" I was starting to lose my hope.

"Yeah!" I grinned. "I'm the second in charge, why?" He suddenly turned suspicious of me, staring cautiously at my weapon.

"Well, I-I'm a new recruit! But I'm not going to be here for long though." He narrowed his eyes. "I was just wondering where I'm supposed to go and what to do..." I lied, rather smoothly. Well, practice makes perfect...

"Well, we're heading to the reactor at Sector Eight right now." He said, equipping on two green materia orbs. I nodded, observing the area around us. "We're going to target that reactor out next." I was a little shocked but tried to act shocked.

"What do you mean... Next?" I asked, successfully making me sound like a new recruit.

"We did try to get this reactor but then some Turk stopped us." He clenched his fist angrily. After relaxing, he looked back at me. "What's your name anyway?" He asked, becoming a bit suspicious again.

"Dah..." I paused and thought quickly of a name. "Celia," I thought of the some out of the top of my head and now I was struggling for a last name. I looked at the sky and saw the moon, shining brightly in a crescent shape. "Cress."He grinned and shook my hand.

"Nice to meet you Celia Cress." He laughed. "I was actually beginning to think you were a Turk... One named..." He paused to take a quick think, "Cisskei or something."

"Cissnei." I corrected subconsciously. I fought back the urge to throw my hands over my mouth.

"You've certainly done your homework!" He laughed again, this time very deeply. Not really considering the fact again that I may be Turk. "You should get down to Junon soon." I tilted my head in confusion.

"Why?" I tried to rack as much information out of him as possible.

"We already have enough people handling the explosives down at Sector Eight and the Shinra President is heading down there soon, so we'll need some people to take him down!" He punched his palm for some effect. "Once the leader goes down, the rest will just drop like flies!" He smirked, imagining the great world without Shinra that he believes in. I couldn't help but finger the edge of my transmitter that was currently hidden as an accessory.

"Sure, uh..." I paused, hoping to get his name as well.

"Oh right! I'm Sears," he walked off somewhere. "See you later, eh?"

After I was sure he was out of earshot, I went deeper into the slums to guarantee a more secret transmission to Tseng, who was the person we are supposed to report to.

"What's the news, Cissnei?" I heard his rather emotionless voice come through.

"They're targeting Sector Eight's reactor and they're going to attack The President at Junon One of the leaders is a man called Sears." Tseng made no reply, as if he was nodding.

"Have you joined them temporarily?" He asked after a long pause.

"Yes." I confirmed monotonously.

"Then you do what they tell you to do. Even take out some of our own infantrymen to make you seem loyal to them. Do whatever it takes, understand?." My eyes widened in worry, but obeyed my orders.

"Yeah..." I said, now letting my voice shake.

"Good. For now, just obey the leaders of AVALANCHE until further instructions." He said, his voice was now getting more raspy as I walked deeper into the slums.

"Yes, sir."


The idea of Cissnei going undercover as a Honey Bee Inn girl was NOT my idea! It was PURELY HazzaTL3's idea! (just wanted to let you guys know) Although I did need to alter it to make it fit in with the Before Crisis time line.

And I'm going to be placing more Before Crisis things in here! I have a few more years before Crisis Core starts, so Before Crisis will last for about 10-ish chapters.

Hope Tseng wasn't OOC! And be excited that the games are actually starting :D Because I'm getting real psyched!

Please review~! :D
