Chapter One: The Black Hole

Gaia -Final Fantasy 8

The day was like any other ... mainly meaning boring. Very boring. After the defeat of Ultimecia, SeeD didn't really have any assignments that were worthwhile. In fact, world peace had been achieved in light of the massacre that had happened during the reign of the Sorceress'. The world being in harmony was great, of course, but that also meant that there was no need for a military academy. Garden became strictly an academic school and SeeD was disestablished all in the matter of two years.

It had been Squall's nineteenth birthday when he heard the news and as most people, he went through the normal stages. First denial, then regret, and finally acceptance. Squall learned to live a peaceful life for a year as a jack of trades until the platform of which World Peace had stood on collapsed.

Galbadia had declared war on all three continents and SeeD was back in action. Squall had fought dutifully and it seemed that the war would be won until ... it happened. The moment he had heard the news, he left SeeD without another word. And that was the last anyone had ever heard of Squall Leonhart.

Earth- Final Fantasy 7

Yuffie Kisagari had no idea what had happened to Cloud. He was acting so withdrawn and odd lately that it scared her a bit. Just the other day he had bandaged up his Buster Sword and said that the bandages kept the blood off of his sword while causing whoever or whatever he was hitting more pain. She simply nodded and backed away slowly.

Today she was staring at him wide eyes and hopefully not open-mouthed. Tifa seemed to have the same reaction as her eyes followed him across the room. He took a seat at their table in the bar and gave no smile.

" Uhm...Cloud?" Tifa asked in her sweetest voice. " Honey, why are you wearing Vincent's cape?"

" Won it in gambling," Cloud said, shrugging his shoulders.

" Oh..."

Tifa began to fiddle with the salt packages on the table for a while, a sign that she was very upset. Cloud didn't seem to notice; he was preoccupied with bandaging up his sword more. Hell, Yuffie knew that the people she hung out with were weird, but Cloud was crossing the line.

" What the hell is up your ass?!" she shouted, banging the table in anger. " You've been action so friggin weird lately that it's like you're on drugs!"

Looking up at the small ninja, Cloud didn't seem to be perturbed by her words at all. Instead he blinked his Mako tinted eyes and got up from the table. Wordlessly, he walked out and slammed the door behind him.

Spira- Final Fantasy 10 (ten years previous to the present)

Wakka was watching from envious eyes as his older brother continued to chat with the lovely girl with dark hair. He wanted to talk to her as well, but whenever he was near her his mouth would refuse to open. If only he was as confident as Chappu, then maybe she would be staring at him with those amazing violet eyes. But for now, he was content with watching.

Chappu moved his hands and then the girl smiled. She never laughed. Wakka wished that he could hear what they were saying and he moved closer to the clearing that they were in. But for some strange reason, the only thing he could hear was ... nothing. Not the ocean, not the birds, not even the rustling of the trees.

He turned around slowly, as if expecting something to be there and his intuition was right. A hole was hanging midair directly behind him.

He shouted, but of course no sound came out. Looking frantically side to side, it was almost as if the trees were closing in and the only escape was ... through that hole. He cautiously took a step toward in and could hear again; a sound almost like wind filled his ears. The hole had red sparks in it and appeared endless. Wakka clutched his Blitzball and took in a deep breath.

He had always enjoyed an adventure.

Gaia- Final Fantasy 8 (ten years previous to the present)

" I want my cards back!" Selphie cried out. She ran over to Seifer and kneed him in the stomach and the cards dropped from his hand as he collapsed onto the floor. Selphie picked them up, stuck out her tongue, and went to the bedroom.

Living in an orphanage was becoming increasingly overwhelming. The children, her friends, were great but she could tell that even they were becoming annoyed. She needed her space and wanted desperately to leave Centra. The place was so isolated and it never snowed. She had always wanted to see the white, soft ice drift from the sky.

Sighing, Selphie walked to her bed, which was next to Quistis's. The blonde was always so organized and tidy, not a wrinkle was seen on her bed. Selphie made a face and just to annoy Quistis, she threw the blanket and pillow off. Then she went to her bed and lifted the mattress, under which all of her possessions were located. She placed her cards there and turned around to make sure no one had seen her.

After she left the room, she decided to go outside. On her way out, she ran into both Irvine (who tried to kiss her- again) and Squall ( who grumbled and pushed her out of his way). Well, they were the lesser of four evils, Selphie thought. She climbed down the stairs and nearly tripped over a skipping rope strewn on the floor. She hoped that no one saw her and knelt to pick up the rope. It reminded her of Nunchaku, a type to weapon that she had read about in Weapons Monthly. She was saving up her money to buy one, since Matron had already promised that in a year she would be enrolled in Trabia Garden, a military academy located on the northern end of Esthar.

She swung the rope as one would swing a Nunchaku and was pleased that the end managed to snap off a branch on a nearby tree. She decided to walk to the ocean and see if there were a few Geezards around when she noticed what looked like a black hole near the lighthouse. She ran towards it and was excited to see that it was what she thought. She picked up a rock and threw in down the hole and in vanished from sight. It probably leads to another dimension, Selphie thought. She looked back to the small house where she had grown up and then to the hole.

Anything was better than spending another year there. She tied the rope around her waist, then jumped in.

Earth- Final Fantasy 7

Cloud stared at the hole, which now took over the spot where Aeris had died. It had not even been a year since she had passed away, but it felt like a lot longer. He had visited the City of Ancients every day since Meteor had been banished, mainly because of the thoughts that had been roaming in his head. Were the feelings that Aeris had for him true, or were they harbored due to Zack? Cloud wished against it; Aeris was everything to him.

His eyes remained locked on the hole, the blackness seeming to consume him. He wanted to see her again. He needed to know. The black hole seemed to call out to him, telling that he would see her again only if he jumped. He braced himself on the edge of the endless pit but was stopped when two hands grabbed him.

" Cloud, don't go in!" Yuffie cried out, a death grip on his cape. How the hell did she find him?

" Leave me be," Cloud said, not bothering to look at her. " I wish--"

" Oh, cut the crap!" Yuffie's grip tightened. " I have a feeling you killed Vincent and stole his personality and...is that his hand?"

" Oh, this?" Cloud flexed the golden claws on his left hand. " Won it in poker."

" You did not!"

Cloud shrugged and without a second thought, jumped into the hole. Yuffie stood with a shred of his crimson cape in hand, bewildered.

" Ohmigod!" she squealed, peering down at the hole. " He's gone!"

" Who's gone?" Cid lumbered a few paces away, a barrel around his waist. " Lost my jacket in gambling. But I did win this barrel!"

" Uhh..." Yuffie began to back away, but apparently forgot about the giant black pit behind her. When she vanished from sight, Cid hastened his pace and was grabbed into the hole as well by the ninja's hand clawing for help.

And so it begins...unsuspecting Final Fantasy Characters unwillingly sucked into the evil world of Disney...how will they survive?

(a/n: First chapter's short, I know, but wait 'till the next one. This is romance/humor, so no flames if you expected it to be drama.)
