Chapter 4: The Sales Clerk
Disclaimer: I still don't own the rights to the charcters and place in this
story. By the time I'm done with Squaresoft though, I will. MUAHAHAHAHA!!!
Oh, oops, sorry bout that. Got a little carried away there.
A/N: Starting with this chapter, this story will now be in two people's P.O.V.'s. I'll tell you whose it is though, so you don't have to run around trying to guess it. I'm just a nice author like that. ~blah, blah~ will now mean dreaming, but I don't know how many more dreams there'll be. Obviously the person will be thinking, it's in their eyes.
Riana: Hey! Quit it! C'mon, keep writing the story!
WaterFF: What the...? Get back in your own damn story!
Riana: Hey, don't blame me! This is what you get for making me a...
WaterFF: Hey! I'm not even up to writing that yet! *shoves Riana back into A Thief and A God* Whew! Sorry bout that. Keep reading folks. *staples pages together to try and prevent Riana from leaving again* *mumbles* Damn muses, should stay in my head or in the story I put them in...

The train had finally got to FH. It was a long trip, or maybe, it just felt that way. The train stopped and I stood up. Stretching slightly, I exited the train. I breathed the air in deeply, and then proceeded to cough.
"Are you ok miss?" asked a passerby.
"Yes, yes, I'm fine. Just not used to the sea air," I said, my voice still a little raspy from coughing.
Oh yes. It does take a while to get used to it." I nodded slightly. The man then continued on his walk. I wondered where I was going to stay, but first, I needed to get new clothes. I walked around until I found a clothing store. I walked into the store and started looking around.
"Can I help you miss?" asked one of the store clerks.
"No, I'm just looking." The woman nodded and walked away. I continued looking around, trying to find something to fit my new personna. As I continued to look at the clothes, I could feel someone behind me, following me. All those years of battle training, my senses kicked in. I could feel my body start to tense up. I tried to relax, knowing it was probably that pesky sales clerk. That's a good way to make someone go insane, follow them everywhere they go.
I finally picked out some clothes. I tried them on and kept the things I really liked. It had been a long time since I had went clothes shopping, I was so used to wearing my SeeD uniform and battle gear, that I had forgotten what it felt like to wear "normal" clothes. The sales clerk was there waiting when I got out of the dressing room. I walked past her, hoping that she would just stay there. Wishful thinking, she followed me, probably hoping that I would look for something else and ask for her help. She was starting to piss me off.
I was about to walk to the cash register and pay for my things when something snapped inside of me. I turned around and glared at the sales clerk. "What don't you understand about just looking?!" My anger was boiling, but it wasn't her I was angry at. "Do you follow ALL of your customers around? Do they not keep you busy enough that you have to follow me around?" The sales clerk tried to speak, but I snapped at her. "Just go bother someone else and leave me alone!" She backed away, almost tripping over a display in the process. Other customers started applauding my "performance". I decided that I needed to get out of there, fast. I continued walking to the register and paid for my things. The sales clerks were all looking at me, frantically trying to get me out of there as fast as possible, not that I had any objections. I was finally done shopping, and I made a mental note not to go into this store again. I had made a fool out of myself, and I didn't want to be seen in there again. As I left the store, what I saw made me want to run back into the building...
A/N: HAHAHAHA! Cliffhanger!!! Ok, not really, but I tried. Did you like it? Did you hate it? Review and let me know. Sorry it took so long, but I've had a lot of personnal problems. They're all resolved now, I hope. I don't know how many more chapters to expect, but I do know this. When this story is finished, expect the sequel to come along not too long after. Ok, I'm off to write more, to make up for lost time. Please review and make me happy! ^_^
