****************************************
(Ashes pov)
Cloud had bought the new bangle and had spent the rest of the money on Grenades. I got myself a bangle and then spent three hundred gil on clothes. I had tested out all the clothes and finnaly found ones that was comfortable. I had a pair of black sweat pants and a white T-shirt. I now had some new leather boots. I also got a belt that was specifically designed to hold a katana's sheath. I kept my hat and gloves but I got rid of my jacket. We got directions and headed out of town. We were about to enter the hole that lead to sector six when we ran into Aries. Both of us were surprized and I silently cursed myself for taking so long at the shop.

"You guys are up early." She said calmly and just smiled.

"How could we take you with us when we knew it was dangerous." Cloud replied. We both knew that she wasn't gonna go home so we didn't argue with her.

"Are you done?" She asked. She didn't let us awnser cause two seconds laer she said "You have to go through the slum in sector six to get ti Tifa's 7th Heaven." She then ran into sector six. We ran along a demolished highway. It was a maze of concrete metal and trash. Along the way we ran straight into what looked like A giant ginger bread house. At first we thought it was nothing untill it shot a missle at us. All three of us were hit and it caused major damage. Then Aries had a red arua suround her. She began to float into the air and white light apear between her hands. She then let it go and the light surounded all of us. We were completly rejuvinated. As soon as I got up I ran towards it and slashed off its chimney. The thing didn't apear to like it cause then transformed. The thing started to attack like mad. We climbed up some junk out of the things reach. Aries started to cast magic on it. Me and cloud talked and got an idea. We both jumped off an ran at it. We both slashed at it at the same time. We made an X shape and flew into the air. The thing looked really hurt. It staggered towards cloud and we thought the battle was not over but when it fell down to the ground we knew we had won. We collected some money and a potion from the body.

We walked on and finnaly made it to the door that lead towards. There was a play ground in front of it and we decided to rest.
*******************************************
(this will be in nobodys pov but will focus mainly on Cloud and Aries.)

"I can't believe It's still here." Aries said while looking at the moogle shaped slide. She then climbed up and sat down on the top. "Cloud come on" she said and motioned for him to get over there.

He walked over and then climbed up. He then sat down next to her.Both then looked out and saw Ash swingng on the monkey bars.

"Your friend is rather childish" She said while stifleing a laugh.

"He is lucky to be able to have a childhood. Most kids in the slums must grow up before they can have fun." He said in a grim tone.

"What rank were you?" Aries asked. "You know, in SOLDIER."

"I was..." He suddenly blanked out for a second then came back to reality."I was first class."

"The same as him." She said.

"Same as who?" He asked.

"My first boyfriend." She replied.

"You were... serious?" He asked.

"No, but I liked him for a while" she repied and then there was a huge rumble in the back. The gate to sector 7 opened up and a carriage came out. it was purple and looked like the kind that ws found in the old west. It was being drawn by a chocobo and in the back was a girl in a blue dress. The dress was rather revealing and was the kind of dress a whore would wear but it seemed that she really didn't want to wear it. Soon Cloud reconized the girl.

"Tifa. That was Tifa" Cloud said.
***************************************************
(this is clouds pov)
Something must have been wrong. Tifa would never dress up like a slut. And she really seemed not to want to wear those clothes. I almost forgot that Aries was next to me until I heard her voice.

"That girl in the cart was Tifa? Where was she going? She looked kinda odd..." Aries said before jumping off the slide. She then ran off after the carriage. I yelled after her to stop but she would not listen.

Me and Ash ran after her until we found her in a small market place. I had heard about this place. It was wall market, known for its merchandise and its hookers. I knew we had to find Tifa quick before She is either raped or killed, or maybe even both. We started searching for her and thanks to some perverted old geezer at the honeybee inn we found out that she was at Don Coreno's mansion. After asking around I found out that this Coreno character lived north of the village. We were amazed at how big the place was. It was odd though. Some one rich enough to own a place like this, you would think he would live on the plate. I tried to get in but a man was guarding the door.

"This the mansion of Don Coreno, The most powerful man in Wall Market. Look, the Don's not into men.So don't let me catch you around here again..." He said with his arms crossed. He wasn't that strong looking. He was fat and he looked like he was in his mid forties. We could probably take him out, but if we caused a comotion they could hurt Tifa. He then looked at Aries and his eyes lit up.He was looking up and down her body, examining her. He was definatly trying to imagine what she looked like without clothes on, but after a few seconds he snapped out of it."Hey, you have another cutie with you" He said. Aries then grabbed both of us by the collars of our shirts and dragged us aside.

"Since you guys can't get in, I'll go take a look. I'll tell Tifa about you guys." She said. She started to walk to the door but I grabbed her by the shoulder.

"No way you're going in there!!!" I said.

"Why?" She asked stubbornly.

"Do you have any idea what this place is. I even know that and I'm only fourteen." Ash said almost a little too loudly.

"Then, what am I supposed to do? You want to go in with me." She said. She had a good point. Damn it. This is getting bad.

"Well we are in a major bind." I said. Aries then started to giggle. I was getting mad. How can she be laughing. This is serious.
"What are you laughing about?" I said. I would have screamed but I knew it would attract the mans attention.

"Why don't you guys dress up as girls?Its the only way." She said while giggling uncontrolably.

"WHAT!?" Both of us yelled. I knew both of us hated the idea but we both knew it was the best idea. I nodded my head and with a little reluctance Ash did also. Aries then ran back uo to the guard.

"Just wait. I've got two cute friends I want to bring along" She said to the guard and then ran back to us."Lets hurry." She said and we all ran out of the place. We ran straight to the dress shop.

It was smaller then I expected. I thought a dress shop would be bigger with all the women trying to look like whores here. There were about a dozen different kinds of dresses and almost 3/4 of them looked slutty. There was even one that looked like one of those school uniforms for girls(you know the real slutty ones with the short skirt). There was actually ones that looked decent, but they were all old and dusty. I guess they are hardly ever got chosen. While I was looking around I picked up on some of the conversation that was going on between Aries and the clerk. We had to get some old geezer from the bar before we could get a dress. I didn't really want to do this but I was willing to if it meant saving Tifa. When Aries was finished we went to the bar. Most of the people there wasn,t even old enough to drink alcohol. We looked around and found only one person who seemed that he could be the clerks father. We walked over to him and Aries started to talk to him. Somehow the coversation led to what the dress should be like. I told Aries to choose for me, but Ash said he was going to choose his. He was going to look his best so that way there would be less chance of getting caught. We all headed back to the shop.When we got there both of us tried them on and Aries said we needed some wigs.

"I thought you would need some so I talked to my friend at the gym. You'll find alot of people lke you guys." The father said.

"Huh." Was all that Ash said. He had a very confused look on his face.

"What did you tell them Aries?" I asked hoping it wasn't what I thought.

All she did was reply by saying,"What does it matter. We got a nice dress for you guys."
**************************************************
(This is from Ashes pov)
We had been collecting all the items we needed.We did odd jobs for the people there in exchange for the stuff we needed.I had did my best to get some good stuff while Cloud got some really shitty stuff. We had all agreed that we might need some make up and the only place that was left to try was the Honey Bee Inn. Me and Cloud were able to get two membership cards after we "borrowed" them from two idiots(in other words they mugged them). Aries was the only one who did not get one, but she said since she really was a women she wouldn't need make up to fool them. When we entered two ladies greeted us. They were wearing outfits that looked sorta like bees but the top part of was a little too revealing. Me and Cloud had a talk. We decided we would have to get into the dressing room, the place obviously had make up in. We discussed it and decided we needed to get a room and wait till tonight when most everyone was gone. There was only two rooms left and we each took one. Mine was known as the group room. That did not sound too good.When I walked in I looked around. It was really colorful there. There was a huge bathtub and a king size bed. Suddenly I heard about seven sets of footsteps.I turned around and there was seven men clad in spandex. Not only that, six of them were holding hands.

"Wazzup" One of them yelled out. I cringed when I saw that the only one not holding a hand was staring at my groin area. "Don't be so embarrased" the one who yelled out wazzup said. "Loosen up." All the men were panting heavily. "Let's wash off all our sweat and dirt together" When I heard that I got even more nervous. The guy only smiled. He then reached into his pocket and took out some bikini briefs, "Where these if your so embarrased." He held them out in front of me. There was no way in Heaven,Hell,or Earth that I was going to wear those. I jumped up and land on the guys head. I jumped from one mans head to another. I ran outside and decided to wait in the lobby for Cloud. I was about to go to sleep when I heard that some one had collapsed in the &$#% room. Wasn't that the one Cloud was staying in. I ran to the room and found Cloud lying down on the bed unconcious. He was being slapped by the man I had met in the room I was supposed to be in. I was about to help when Cloud woke up.I decided to leave. I did not want that man to see me. I hid behind a bush when that man left the room. When the coast was clear I went in.

"I did not know SOLDIER members blacked out like that." I said while laughing. Cloud just threw the sheath to his sword at me. He was rubbing his temple. We waited in there for about an hour. I kept watch to see when most of the staff left. Only a few staff members were left. The security and the women who were to keep the customors "Happy". We snuck out and went into the dressing room and grabbed a case of make up. We snuck out and found Aries being surronded by men. We got rid of them when we showed them our swords. We headed straight to the dress shop where we put on all the items we got. Aries even got a new dress. I had a green silk dress with a blonde wig. I put on some sexy cologne and a diamond tiara. Cloud had a purple cotton dress and a dyed wig. He also had some cheap cologne and had a plastic tiara on his head. Aries had put the make up on our faces. It was an odd feeling. It felt like a mask. When we were both finished we walked outside into the streets. Me and Cloud both blushed as there was about a dozen different men wolf whistling. One man even had the nerve to hold out about 100 gil in my face and asked if that was enough for some "Fun", at least thats how he put it. He was really surprised when I gave him a punch to the face. I left him lying on the streets collecting dust. After that no one even looked at us.

"Damn!! Your friends are hot,too! Come in, come in!!" He said while staring at me. I could just hit him also but I knew that was a bad idea. I just gave him a look that would kill almost anyone. But he wasn't staring at my face. "Three hot women coming through!" He yelled inside as the doors opened. I knew this was going to be one of the wost experiences of my life

How did you like this chapter. I'll be busy writing the next chapter so be on the look out for chapter nine. Also you may have noticed both Ash and Cloud did an attack like in Crono trigger, X strike. I got the idea from playing My new Crono Trigger game. I already made up almost one attack for almost each character. I wont be calling them duel techs or triple techs like in Crono Trigger. I don't know what I'll call them
