Disclaimer: final Fantasy, mine? Nope

Hey remember me? I started this story and then for ages didn't write anything! Well I've righted my ways now and this another chapter from the guy who wrote the other three chapters! = p anyway . . .

Keep up the reviews people they keep me writing! Or at least motivate me a bit more . . . The Tantalus appear in this chapter along with an extensive flashback, (mate, I hate flashbacks I get em all the time)

So yeah, I know this chapters a bit short but, oh well

Meanwhile Tiffany had found her way to the Theater district . . .

She was walking past the Tantalus's hideout when a strange man with a belt around his head ran out and collided with her

Tiffany: !

?: woah! sorry didn't see ya there-

He stopped and stared at her tail which was winding around her legs like a snake

?: (what the?!) is that, a . . . tail?

Tiffany: yes

?: are you from- I mean, are you a . . . you know

Tiffany: no I am not, I just happened to be born with a tail

The man looked at her, his face a picture of confusion

Tiffany: I apologize, I was trying out a technique that Mikoto called "Sarcasm", yes I am a Genome and I am from Terra, my name is Tiffany

?: oh, I see well my name is Blank, I'm one of Zidane's friends from well, what happened earlier, I think three years ago now

Tiffany: you mean Kuja attempting to destroy Gaia?

Blank: err, yeah, that too, so what are you doing in Lindinblaum?

Tiffany: well, Mikoto said that we should go and absorb culture some time, so I and five others decided to go to Lindinblaum and, um absorb culture

Blank: I see, (no, I don't) ah, so who are the others?

Tiffany: well, there is me, and Rose, Rosa, Faris, Selfie, and Lilandria, (he still looks unsure, oh I know what I forgot) we are female

Blank: ah, (female? I thought they were asexual . . .)

Tiffany: a genome is asexual at creation, from there they can decide they're own gender, but only once, I will not go into detail on that

Blank: ok then . . . so, where are you staying?

Tiffany: in Lindinblaum Castle, lady Eiko let us use some spare rooms

Blank: Lady Eiko? So that's what she is these days . . . last I heard was that she had been adopted by Cid and Lady Hilda

Tiffany: Vivi also lives with her, occasionally he visits us in Black mage Village

Blank: really? (How come I haven't heard of this?!)

Tiffany: yes

Blank: hmmm, I didn't hear that you were coming here, that's odd, generally we hear of anything unusual that's happening . . .

Tiffany: I am unusual?

Blank: n-no! (Must think of something to say!) so do ya like the new hideout?

Tiffany: yes, it's pretty I like the sky blue edging on the windows

Blank: thanks, we've just finished it after, what happened to the city . . .

Blanks face darkened in remembrance of what happened to the city

Tiffany: did something bad happen to it?

Blank: yes . . . Queen Braham attacked us with her Eidilons, after all these years of peace, just came over and attacked us, many innocent people died that day, mostly guards, they died unaware of what was happening, just, blam . . . game over man . . .

Tiffany: did anyone know this was going to happen?

Blank: no, not even the boss had any Idea she would do that, we all had some vague feeling something was going to happen, but we didn't know what

Tiffany: what kept you going through all the mental trauma?

Blank, looked carefully at Tiffany, she felt that despite the belt over his eyes, he was still looking at her

Blank: well, hope for a new dawn, when that stuff couldn't happen again probably . . .

Tiffany: I see, . . . . I should go now it is nearly the third meal of the day, goodbye

Blank stared after Tiffany as she walked away, then Cinna ran out

Cinna: who was she?

Blank: someone I've never met till now

Cinna: man, you get all the luck with girls . . .
