Disclaimer: I don't own FF7


Learning the Hard Way


"You've got to be kidding," said Richard, "if that's materia, then that means we're inside
FF7." "You fool, you've doomed us all!" cried out Kevin. "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" screamed
Kyle who was now holding his head tightly as if trying to get demons out of his head. "What's
wrong with him?" asked Scott. "Oops, I forgot that Kyle didn't like FF7." Said Richard who was
wincing as Kyle continued to scream.
When Kyle finally stopped, Richard walked over to Darcy and asked, "If we really are in
FF7, and that really is materia, then what materia is it?" Everyone then went into a train of
thought, trying to find out what power the materia held. "It's a Chocolure." Said Darcy simply.
"How do you know?" asked Scott who was again staring into the mako-powered orb.
Without saying anything, Darcy put the materia into her left hand and pointed with her
right hand to the location right behind the boys. The four guys slowly turned around, unsure
about their actions. They stood there with wide open eyes as a big chicken like looking bird with
yellow feathers slowly walked around the field as if it didn't see the five friends.
"CHOCOBO!" shouted Scott and Kevin at the same time as they ran toward it. As they
ran, they caused a big dust cloud to send the remaining sane friends to fly back a couple feet. As
they got up Richard suddenly spoke, "Wait a minute. If that's a chocobo, then shouldn't there be
some monsters near it?" "Your right. Further more, we have no weapons to fight with. They'll get
killed." Spoke Darcy with some concern. "I don't care what happens to Scott but, we have to help
Kevin." Said Kyle.
After Kyle finished talking, they heard screams coming from the chocobo. "AHHH, MY
EYE!" "I CAN"T FEEL MY LEGS!" The three of them turned toward the screams to see the
chocobo running away, Kevin, with a black eye, and Scott, who looked like he got into a fight
with a lawnmower and lost terribly.
"You ok?" asked Richard who had a look of concern for his fallen friend. "I'm fine, but I
don't think Scott can say the same thing." Replied Kevin who looked like he was snickering.
Richard and Kevin looked over to where Scott was to see Darcy and Kyle trying to repress
laughter at the sight of him. They failed terribly and broke into a fit of laughter.
"What's so funny?" asked Richard as he walked over to Scott's mangled body with
Kevin. Both tried, but couldn't stop laughing long enough to tell Richard so they just pointed.
Richard looked and started laughing uncontrollably as he saw Scott's face had a chocobo claw
indentation in is face but he also had what looked like chocobo crap on it.
After they stopped laughing, and Scott had managed to wash his face, they looked around
to see if they could find a potion or two to heal their friends. They managed to find one, and so
they split it between the two injured boys, even though Scott really needed it and Kevin didn't.
"Ok, so now what?" asked Darcy, "We obviously can't try fighting anything till we get some
weapons." She continued.
Looking around, the friends noticed, what kind of looked like buildings in the distance.
They decided to walk there so that they could at least get some weapons, money, a safe rest, and
maybe some food. They walked for an hour till Kevin suddenly said, "Is that Midgar?"
