When he was a young boy Cloud always wanted to become a soldier. His father was a soldier and Cloud wants to be just like his father. Although he never met him he saw pictures and heard stories. The day finally came. Cloud turned eiaghteen and is going to join bright and early in the morning. He gets to the registration building as fast as he can and makes it in two minutes. He signs up and starts training the next day. In training Cloud meets up with a reconasince mission leader, Sephiroth.

Cloud: Hello sir.

Sephiroth: Good morning soldier.

Cloud: Who are you if I may ask?

Sephiroth: Yes you may. I am Lueitenant Colnol Sephiroth and you are?

Cloud: Beginner class private Cloud sir.

Sephiroth: Ahh I heard of your fater. He was a good man and a good soldier. I'm sorry for your loss but there's nothing we can do now.

Cloud: Thank you sir. Have a nice day sir.

Sephiroth: You too soldier.

As Cloud walks away to get his training equipment he has a vision of a small fire. It goes away. As he stands in wonder he turns around and sees Sephiroth smiling at him. Cloud smiles back, turns around and goes to get his stuff. Now that he has everything he goes to see his quarters. He gets there quite easily and packs everything away. The first day is over. All of a sudden a loud trumpet awakend him. He looked at his watch and it was five o'clock in the morning. He got up thinking,"this is bull." After Cloud got dressed he whent outside to await his orders. To his surprise the person in charge was Lueitenant Colonol Sephiroth.
