One day about a year after the fight with Sepheroth Cloud was wandering around the gold saucer area, when suddenly, he saw a flash of light in the distance. Little did he know that flash would change his life forever.

Squall Leonhart was confused. He was totally and utterly lost. "Where am I?" Squall muttered.

As Cloud approached, he thought for sure there had been an explosion and that all he would find was charred ground. He didn't know how wrong he was.

Squall didn't know if he was hurt or not-or if he was even alive so he decided to stay still and wait for someone to find him.

As Cloud approached he saw.............A GUY!!!!!! "Poor guy," said Cloud, "Not much I can do for him, but I guess I should take him to the hospital anyway."

5 days later

Cloud decided to visit the guy who, miraculously, had lived. When Cloud got to the hospital the guy kept on muttering about his gunsword. Cloud wondered what a gunsword was so he decided to go to where he saw the "explosion" and see for himself so he boarded his chocobo and rode off.

Later that day

"What is it?" Tifa asked. "I have no clue," Cloud answered. "But I'll bet the guy in the hospital knows what it is."

"In that case we better get it to him," Tifa said.

"Are you crazy, Tifa!? You know they don't allow weapons in the hospital!" said Cloud.

"True, but who said it was a weapon." answered Tifa.

"Tifa, you are a menace" Cloud yelled way too loudly.

"Well, who knows, it could just be a decoration" Tifa said, way to cheerfully for clouds tastes.

"I GIVE UP TIFA, YOU WIN" Cloud yelled.

Twenty minutes later

"Look, I just want some answers! That's all. IT'S NOT HARD!!!" yelled Cloud.

"Squall Leonhart, 16, SEED First class" was all Squall would say to the odd boy with weird, spikey yellow hair.

"What kind of name is 'Squall,'" muttered Cloud under his breath.
