Leah's POV

"Okay your laptop should be good as new" I told Cloud as I finished fixing his computer.

Remember when I said I was in school?

I always had a fascination with computers so I earned a degree as an IT. I could do computer maintenance, installation, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

"So what was the problem?" the blonde asked.

"You just had a lot of crap that made the computer slow down, it's fine now" I answered.

"Didn't you say you had a degree as an IT?" my best friend asked.

"Yep but I never had the chance to apply anywhere since I came here"

With Vincent's encouragement I eventually told the other members of Avalanche where I truly came from and how they were fictional characters in a game. They took the news pretty well much to my relief.

It had been a few weeks since the events of Advent Children wrapped up and my new life here in my favorite video game went on. Vincent and I were taking things slow but so far it was good.

"I think you should meet Reeve Tuesti, he used to work for Shinra but now runs the WRO"

I sent Spiky a smirk. I always liked Reeve and I wondered what Cloud had in mind.

"Go on Spiky I'm all ears"

Cloud rolled his eyes before continuing.

"Reeve has been looking for another IT person, are you interested?"

"Hell yeah I'm interested give him a call"

Cloud chucked and I left his office so he could do some paperwork.

"Is Cloud's computer working now?" Tifa asked as I came into the bar.

"Yeah he just had a bunch of crap that made it run slow" I answered.

I took a seat on one of the bar stools and Tifa gave me a glass of water. Ghost was sound asleep on the floor.

"Cloud thinks I should work for the Reeve at the WRO" I informed the martial artist. "You know as an IT"

"I think you would like that" Tifa responded. "But I'll miss having you around the bar"

"Hey if I start off part-time I'll still help run deliveries" I promised. "I enjoy that too"

"Hey Leah"

Tifa and I turned to Cloud as he entered the room.

"Reeve is on his way here he's very interested in meeting you"

"Crap I'm not wearing the right clothes!" I exclaimed seeing I was not dressed to impress.

"Don't worry Reeve is very laid back" Cloud reassured me.

"You better be right Spiky" I growled and I hurried into the bathroom to make sure I looked decent. Fifteen minutes I was introduced to Reeve and Cloud was right he didn't pay attention to my attire. It was just your basic interview along with giving details about my background.

Reeve then decided to test me and soon I was trying to diagnose what was wrong with one of his laptops. It turned out the damn computer was old and crashed on its own. I also explained how I got Cloud's computer to work again.

Reeve seemed satisfied and he promised he would contact me in a few days.

"I think he's going to hire you Leah" Tifa said. "He was pleased"

I shrugged because Reeve had other candidates he wanted to interview. But I was optimistic and hoped I did get the job. I spent the rest of the afternoon helping Cloud with deliveries. One of them was to the Chocobo Farm. I was actually here for another reason too.

I now had enough gil to rent a stable. I would be responsible for catching my own Chocobo as well as its food, etc. I already had the Chocobo Lure and the Gyashl Greens. I had one more delivery to make so I completed it before going back to Edge and finished the daily paperwork for the day before I set out to find a Chocobo.

Now there was something I forgot to add about Orichalcum. Whenever I didn't need it the synthesized weapon would return to being daggers. Pretty cool eh?

I parked my motorcycle by a set of Chocobo tracks and went to look around.

"Wark!"

My eyes went wide when I saw a Black Chocobo being harassed by a group of monsters. Black Chocobo's were rare so I was lucky if I even caught this one. The monsters saw me and I got out my knives. But first I threw the greens at the Chocobo and it began to eat them.

I used my Lightning materia and my daggers to finish off the monsters. The black Chocobo was now finished eating and it tilted it's head to the side in interest. I offered more greens to it and the Chocobo emitted a happy "Wark" before coming over to me.

I kept still as it took the Gyashl Greens from my hand. When it finished eating I held a hand out to see if this adorable bird would let me touch it. The Chocobo instead placed it's beak into my hand and I knew I successfully caught it.

I gave my new pet a lot of pets and scratches before it let me climb onto it's back. Now riding a Chocobo was different than riding a motorcycle and it would take some work. But I was able get my new friend back to the farm.

My Chocobo was given a thorough look over and it was in good health. The Chocobo also turned out to be a female. I chose Nyx for her name. I spent an hour helping Nyx get settled into her stall before I headed back to Edge.

Tifa brought Ghost back to the apartment so I wouldn't need to come by the bar again to get her. I took a shower and wore black sweatpants under a red tank top.

So you caught a Chocobo? Ghost asked.

"Yep a black one"

Your joking those are hard to catch! Ghost exclaimed.

"This one was cornered by a group of monsters and was happy I saved her" I explained.

Well your lucky to have caught one Ghost added.

I was about to make a smart ass reply when there was a knock at door. Ghost and I looked to one another before I went to see who it was.

"Hey" Vincent greeted me.

I smirked and let the former Turk come in. Ghost decided to say hello to Vincent first before she went to my bedroom.

"You could have called" I teased the black haired male.

"I guess I like to surprise you"

Vincent then decided to give me a kiss which I happily accepted. The last time I saw Vincent was two weeks ago so I was glad to see him again.

"So do you have business with Cloud?" I inquired after our kiss ended.

"No with Reeve this time"

From time to time Reeve needed Vincent's help with the WRO. I told Vincent about possibly working for Reeve and he was pleased to hear that.

"I'm afraid I don't know much about computers like you do"

"It's not that hard once you get used to it" I pointed out giving him a glass of red wine. I had my own to enjoy.

"I presumed you would be a beer person"

"Ech! I hate beer one taste was enough for me" I shuddered before taking a sip of my wine.

Vincent chuckled and he stayed for another hour before having to leave.

Did he ask you on a date yet? Ghost demanded.

"No nosy he didn't remember he hasn't been in a relationship in a long time" I reminded her. "We're taking things one day at a time"

He's a good fit for you though

"I sure hope so" I replied.

I then sent her an evil grin.

"When are you going to admit you like Nanaki?"

He already knows and he feels the same

Well damn I haven't been expecting that!
