DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the characters presented in this story except those invented by me (obviously!). This is my first story and this chapter makes the story a bit slow. But the action will come up next!! Please review!!

Minako-chan:- So Hikaru when are u putting up my part?

Hikaru (Director):- Umm. . . I don't know.

Kibou (Producer):- I was thinking of cutting it out.

Minako-chan:- WHAT!!? You promised!!

Kibou:- I'll think about it.

Hikaru:- The problem is your part, well, it slows down the story.

Minako-chan:- (about to cry) So you are going to leave it out!!??

Kibou:- Okay! Okay! I'll put it up.

Minako-chan:- Yay!! Arigatou!! (jumps around and screams)

Kibou:- But I'll put it up later. (¬_¬U) Can't believe you get so excited with so little.

Hikaru:- OKAY!! So now . . . back to the show!!





Our view now turns to two figures near the fire sitting away from each other.

Sakura- Cloud?

Cloud- What!?

Sakura- Do you have a family? (kind of scared)

Cloud- My father died when I was still young. And my mother died when our town was burned. (looking at the stars)

Sakura- I'm sorry.

Cloud- Huh!? For what? (looking at her)

Sakura- For reminding you about your family.

Cloud- (smiling at her) It's okay. I'm used to it. I left my home to enter SOLDIER and to become the best but I left SOLDIER, I don't' really feel bad about my past.

Sakura- My mother died when I was only 3 years old.

Cloud- What about your dad? (getting near to Sakura)

Sakura- I live with my dad and brother.

Cloud- That's good. You're not alone.

Sakura- I also have Kero-chan and Yukito and Tomoyo.

Cloud- Who are those? (looking puzzled)

Sakura- Tomoyo is my best friend! Yukito is my brother's best friend but he is a really nice person.

Cloud- What about .Ke-something-chan ?

Sakura- Well, its kind of a long story, but Kero-chan is the guardian of the Clow Cards, well, the Sakura Cards.

Cloud- Sakura Cards!?? (confused)

Sakura- The Sakura Cards are the same as the Clow Cards but they are mine. (showing the cards to Cloud)

Cloud- (taking the cards) They're pink cards.oh! (looking at them) What are they for?

Sakura- For me, to use magic.

Cloud- So these are Sakura Cards because they're yours and because only you can use them??

Sakura- Yeah!

Cloud- Can you really do magic?? (giving the cards back)

Sakura- Yeah! (happy)

Cloud- Can I see??

Sakura- (doubting it a little) Mmm. sure!! Sakura stood up and took out her key. Sakura- Key that holds my star's secret, transform for Sakura, who accepted this mission with you .LIBERATE!!!! (while the key transformed into her magic staff)

Cloud- WOW!! (impressed) Now could you use one of your Sakura cards??

Sakura- Sure!! (smiling at him)

Sakura took out a card and threw it into the air where she hit it with her staff and shouted.

Sakura- GLOW!! (while hitting it)

The moment she shouted, "glow", little green shining dots appear in the sky lighting the surroundings.

Cloud- WOW!! It looks like Life-stream!! (standing up to look at the glowing dots trying to hold them in his hand)

Sakura- They look so nice during the night.

Cloud- (sitting down again) I can also do magic, but its only for fighting.

Sakura- (sitting next to Cloud) How??

Cloud- (taking a small sphere from one of the sides of his sword) With this.

Sakura- (holding the sphere) This??

Cloud- Its called Materia. Its made out of Mako-energy, energy from the planet. It enables the carrier different types of magic, and depending on the materia's level is the level of your magic power.

Sakura- (giving it back) It looks like a marble. How does it affect the magic power.

Cloud- You see. This is a Lighting Materia, it allows me to use lightning as a weapon. If its only in level 1 I can only use bolt. If it's in level 2, I can use bolt and bolt 2. If it gains another level I can cast bolt, bolt 2 and bolt 3. Bolt three is mush stronger that bolt. [author's note:- Heh! Sounds like tutorials at the begging of FFVII]

Sakura- Wow!! So there are different materias??

Cloud- And they can only be use when you carry them on you. For example, if we could attach one on your staff you could be able to use its magic. Even if you could just wear it as a pendant you could use it's magic.

Sakura- That is so cool!!!

Cloud- I knew they would be useful during our quest so I brought them with me.

Sakura- It seems as though we all have secret things. Doesn't it??

Cloud- Yeah, it does.(looking at the stars) it does.

Sakura- I wonder if we'll all get along well during our quest.(also looking up at the stars)

Cloud- If we try to avoid fighting with each other, we might.

Sakura- I hope we can!

Cloud- Me too.

As we see a blackout, because its time for more messages, we relax to see that our friends are finally starting to get alone better.
