AUTHORS NOTE: (Fanfiction-net)

Alright, first of all this is a cross-over fic between, no wait! Don't go! Oh come on! Give it a shot! I know everyone hates cross-overs but their just so much fun writing! Atleast read the first line! Awww come on! (people are clicking to another story) Dammit!

Well anyway, for those unlikely ones left, this is a cross-over between FF8 and FF7 (and some some extent ff7: AC, but just because I got the idea after seeing that first pic of Kadaj a long time ago. This fic is quite old and quite long, and still going on I might add.

I've combined the two worlds in FinalFantasy 8 and 7 and created a common world for both of them (all hippie and nice). The two worlds are now like two different "continents", who are quite unaware of what's happening in the opposite world (Example. Balamb continent is unaware of Sephiroth being on the loose and they never relayed on Mako-power. Midgar Continent on it's hand is unaware of the Sorceress and never participated in the Sorceress war).

(Quick timeline: FF8 – The hunt for the sorceress has not yet begun. FF7- Sephiroth has returned and killed the president, but he's currently missing and no meteor is heading for earth just yet)

So, have I confused you enough? Good! Then let's get on with the damn story!

0.1 THE SUDDEN NEED

"I still don't see why some big-shot professor from Junon would want to hire Balamb SeeDs. I mean, it's like crawling with soldiers an stuff over there, ya know. Why would they need us? Their troopers are better then us anyway!"

"Speak for yourself, Chickenwuss"

"Oh, yeah? I'd like se YOU beat one of those MAKO-guys. I'd love to see you try!"

"Of cause you would, you fag. You'd love to se me move, wouldn't you?"

"I'd love to se you get copped up like a fish, that's what I would love, asshole!"

"Stop it, both of you!" Squall looked up from the book he was trying to read "It's bad enough being stuck on this boat for eight hours without having to listen to you two bitching each other the entire way"

Squall looked from Zell to Seifer. They both fell silent, although it didn't last long.

"Wow, man!" Zell said with a overdone neutral expression on his face "That must have been the longest set of words I've ever heard coming from you at the same time"

"I'll keep the memory of this moment in a special place in my heart and I'll cherish it tenderly ´till the end of my days!" Seifer said with a mocking grin.

"Whatever. As long as you shut your faces" Squall looked back down in his book.

But even with the blessed absence of his companions voices, Squall was still unable to concentrate. The same things Zell spoke of were worrying him as well. He saw no reason in Junons sudden need of outside help. For the last ten years both Junon and Midgar had been like fortresses, no information going in or out. And now some scientist, whose name he were never told, appeared out of the blue and paid good money for SeeDs, on the condition that no one was know the nature of their mission, not ever the SeeDs themselves. Squall thought that he was an idiot for taking this mission, but another part of him was quite thrilled. He tried to suppress that part, though. He always did. He didn't like to become a slave under his emotions. He would be rational. He would be professional. He had to. After all, the other two soldiers were Zell and Seifer, so someone had to make a good impression. Squall smiled inside at his little private joke, and listened to his companions murmuring insults to each other.

A rasping noise came from some unidentified speaker in the ceiling.

"Attention passengers. The vessel will arrive at Junon Dock 3 in seven minutes. Please commence to the departing area. Have a pleasant day"

Yeah, that's how short the chapters are. Sorry, but I've reallytried to make its as online-short attention span-reading-friendly as possible.any thoughts/reviews on such a short chapter?
