Disclaimer: Sue me, Squaresoft, and be paid in monopoly moolah!! And people with over active imaginations, READ!!

Authors note: From now on, If Clara and Catalina speak in another language,I'll have a translation inbetween ( and ). I hope it's easier to read, and don't flame me if I forget.

I awoke slowly in the quiet before dawn, knowing Catalina was awaking with me in our new.... place. The dawn, for us, of not only a new day, but a new life. As one we leap off the floor, ready for anything thrown at us. I grab her costumes hand in mine, and we ran onto the deck to greet the day.

On the deck I stand on Catalinas now huge shoulders, and we pledge our lives to the sun, silently. Using my left dagger I cut myself a bit, just enough to bleed, and do a summersault, spraying some into the sun just peeking over the horizon, waiting for a reason to go any farther. If our offering pleased the sun it would continue to rise throughout the day, then fall, to rest its tired heat, and hope another would show such kindness next week.

The sun continued to rise, rewarding us with a glance of a bustling city in the distance. I gaped while Catalina showed a bit more dignity and kept her mouth shut. I knew she thought it an impressive site, even if she didn't show the world this using her mouth. we gazed at all the mid-air traffic, all the ships bustling in and out. Ours wouldn't look a bit suspicious. I closed my mouth and smiled inwardly. They wouldn't know what hit 'em.

"Come on, we don't want to be late for the tutorial on the cities we hit," Catalina reminded me. "As if I need reminding!" I sighed, we'd be saving a civilization from total destruction. Cool! Costume arms locked togethor, somehow able to feel each other through them, we jog to uncles cabin

Meanwhile, In the city of Alexandria-

"Damnit!!" swore Zidane. Having been King of Alexandria for 11 years had prepared him for many circumstances, but there were still a few he couldn't get over. "How many times will I have to tell the cooks the pancakes have to have chocolate chips to be any good!" Across the table Queen Garnet smiled, and shook her head.For 11 years he'd been saying that, but chocolate wasn't allowed for breakfast since before Richard the Third was King, and the chefs stuck with old traditions.

Ooooooooooookay,so THATS what's become of the happily married couple. But lets go back to Catalina and Clara before Zidane has ANOTHER pointless argument with the cooks.

We halt just outside uncles door and knock the code. Three fast, three slow, and three rolls. The door opens, and we step inside, closing the door behind us. "HelllllllO, my children," He started. "You're right on time.The tutorial on your mission, and its past, shall now begin. many years before your time began was my chance to try, knowing the odds were slim. I tried a different method than the one you're going to use. I tried slow infiltration over many years. Eight.... heroes..... stopped me months before I completed my plan, mere seconds of time considering how long it had been in action. While I was left in the dust recovering they were increasing their power. They are now all twice the strength, while I am only a small amount stronger than I was then. The eight heroes are all still alive and well, spread out in the cities you will attack. The city we are approaching now has two of the heroes. One can summon eidolens." "Like us?" I blurted without thinking. "I thought only we could do that," Catalina joined in. Uncle Kuja smiled menacingly. "Oh no, two of the well known heroes can summon. The one that lives here was six back then and can only summon four eidolens. Don't take her lightly inbattle, however, as her flute can kill, and she can perform all known white magic. She may be your death if you aren't careful. She is currently twenty years old and heir to the throne, to become regent when her adoptive parents die." Catalina whistles under her breath. Regent is just a fancy word for king, and we know it. This girl could be trouble.And using a flute? that's the definition of dangerous. Catalina can use black magic with that thing! After glaring at her Uncle Kuja continues. "The second living there goes by the name of Ammarant Coral, bodyguard to the regent. You shouldn't have much trouble from him." We glanced at each other. If these morons are the toughest things they'll throw at us, it'll be a piece of cake. "The last threat you have to worry about here that won't be described in the other areas lives on another continent, and will run to help if something threatens any of his friends. He is a black mage, in the intermediate level of magic. What he doesn't know he makes up for in strength." He then dismissed us to breakfast.
