DBF: Hey everyone! This is a rather old story but it's very long. I'm dividing it up so I'll post it up slowly. I may have to make some corrections to it. It's still an on going story though. So If enough people like it then I'll continue posting up chapters. Well enjoy! Just for the record I don't own anything in this story except for Felicity.

"Felicity! Run!"

"No mommy! I won't leave you!" Felicity cried as she clung lovingly to her mother's leg.

"Come Feli follow me…" Felicity's dad said as he took hold of her hand. He led Felicity to a safe spot. "Wait here"

Felicity nodded. Her father went back and started attacking the few men that were there. Bullets pierced the air, drowning out Felicity's reality. She clenched her eyes shut in fear.

"Come on! Stop stalling and shoot already! You're wasting time!" one guy shouted. Suddenly there was a loud bang.

Felicity shot up from her bed breathing really hard. Her red tank top strap slid down her right shoulder. Some of her crow-black hair came loose from her ponytail.

"Why am I having this dream now? I mean this happened over twelve years ago…" Felicity shrugged. "Oh well" she went back to sleep. It wasn't long after her mother's death that she discovered the name of the organization that did that…Shinra.

Later that day…

Felicity was eating a sandwich when Cid came up to her.

"Hey Feli!" he greeted.

"Yea Pa?" Felicity said in her light southern accent.

"Well I figured that it's time for you to get a job and stop being lazy…" he proposed. Felicity put her sandwich down, her eyes wide as she stared at him in disbelief.

"But Pa…I'm not lazy!" Felicity said.

"No buts Feli…Now here I picked up some job applications for ya!" Cid informed her as he handed her the applications. Felicity sighed and accepted them. She froze as her eyes lingered on the company name of the application on top.

"…Shinra…but Pa they're the ones that—"

"Hey, a job is a job…now fill them out and then I'll drop them off."

She frowned and huffed, averting her gaze as she swallowed down the knot that had erupted in her throat.

"Fine…" She said. Felicity looked through the rest of the papers. She read some of them off. "Shinra…wedding planner…auto mechanic…" There were about six of them. She filled them out and gave them back to Cid. "Here"

Cid looked through them. "Alright! I'll go return these" he said. So he did just that.

A month later she got the wedding planner job. When everyone was on their way to the after party, Felicity went before everyone. She went through the double oak doors.

"Crap…the food…" she noticed. "I knew I forgot something…" she quickly darted before anyone could catch her. She ran back home.

"What? Back already?" Cid commented.

"Yeah…Well something went wrong and I'm probably as good as fired…So I just came back" she informed him as she flung herself into a chair.

"Well…You got another job offer anyway"

"Oh really?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah…Here call this number…" Cid said handing her a piece of paper.

"Kay" Felicity said. So she dialed the number and waited for someone to pick up.

"Hello please state your name?" a female voice asked.

"Felicity Highwind"

"Ah yes…Miss Highwind…We've been awaiting your call…How soon can you come in for an interview?"

"Um…I can come right now actually" was Felicity's response.

"Great!" the female said. She gave Felicity an address and the hung up. Felicity hung up as well.

"Bye Pa! I'm goin' out for 'nother interview" she said.

"Good luck Feli!" Cid called out.

"Thanks!" Felicity said as she walked out the door.

Moments later she came upon a building. She looked at the address on the paper. Then she glanced back at the building.

"Yup…This is it…" She looked at the company name on the building and frowned. "Shinra" she sighed. "Well…I don't wanna…but Pa'll kill me if I don't get a job so…" she walked on in. Almost instantly she was greeted by a woman, which she assumed was the secretary.

"Hi and who would you be?" she asked.

"Um…Felicity Highwind"

"Ah yes…Hi Miss Highwind and Welcome to Shinra…I'm Elena…I'm the one that talked with you over the phone" Elena said.

"Yes…Nice to meet you" Felicity replied, smiling softly as she swallowed down her anxiety.

"Same to you…Now please follow me" Elena said. Felicity nodded and followed.

They arrived in Elena's office a few minutes later. Both Elena and Felicity took a seat.

"So Felicity…Tell me…What makes you think that you'd be a good employee for Shinra to hire?" Elena asked.

"Well…Hmmm…Let's see…I'm reliable and trustworthy…Although I did screw up at my last job…" Felicity started.

"Hmmm…Honesty…That's good…" she said jotting something down on a piece of paper.

"Um…I work my hardest until I'm at my peak…and…well…gosh I don't know what else to say…" Felicity huffed.

"Uh huh…Okay um…What was your first job?" Elena asked.

"Well that was my last job and it was a wedding planner" Felicity answered.

"Ah…Yes that can be a very stressful job…Not that I would know or anything but it just seems like it…" Elena said. "How do you see yourself fitting in with the company's goals?"

"Um…I don't know…" Felicity said.

"Hm…Alright…" Elena said.

The interview dragged on for about a half-hour more.

"And lastly who do you think is the cutest?" Elena said holding pictures of Tseng, Rude, and Reno.

"What in the world does that have to do with the job?!" Felicity gasped incredulously.

"Just answer it!" Elena urged.

"None because they all work for this damn company!" Felicity exploded, glaring at each of the pictures in turn.

"And why do you wanna work here again?" Elena asked.

"Because my Pa wants me to get a job and you guys are the second company that has contacted me" Felicity responded.

"Ah…Makes sense…I guess" Elena sighed. "Well, We'll get back to you soon on whether you got the job or not…"

"Okay bye…" Felicity said.

"See ya" Elena called as Felicity went back home.

"So…How'd it go?" Cid asked.

"Good…At least I think so"

"But please Felicity if you end up working for Shinra don't screw it up!" Cid said. Felicity sighed.

"I won't" she said.

"That's a good girl"

"Hmmm…" was all Felicity had to say.

A couple months later Shinra contacted Felicity again. She had gotten the job.

"Bye Pa! I'm leaving for work now!" Felicity said.

"Bye Feli! Have a great day!" Cid called after her.

"Thanks! I'll try…" Felicity sighed, mostly to herself. She left her house locking the door behind her.

Felicity arrived at the Shinra building and entered it. This time Elena was waiting along with three other guys.

"Hi Felicity!" Elena greeted, smiling warmly.

"Hey" Felicity said.

"These guys over here are Reno, Rude, and Tseng" the woman said, pointing to each one as she said their names.

"Hi" Felicity said.

"Yo" Reno purred.

"Hi" Rude greeted.

"Hey" Tseng said with a wink. Felicity rolled her eyes. Reno walked up to her and handed her a suit.

"What's this?" Felicity asked.

"Your official Turks uniform" Reno said.

"Um…Excuse me…Turks? I thought I was working for Shinra…" Felicity said all confused.

"It's an organization that works for Shinra" he explained.

"Ah…Okay…Whatever…" She took the suit, narrowing her eyes at it.

"Hope it fits" Reno said.

"Get out of my face" Felicity snapped, turning away from him.

"Whoa! Whoa! Temper! Temper!" Reno gasped defensively.

"Reno don't coax her" Rude warned.

"Stay out of it cueball!" Felicity growled as she glared in his direction. Rude's eyes widened and he pursed his lips, looking away.

"Felicity calm down!" Elena said. "Well anyway the president would wanna meet his new employee…so lets go meet him"

"Okay" Felicity sighed.

"Guys are you coming?" Elena asked.

"Look I would appreciate it if hothead, cueball, and dot boy would just mind their own business and leave me alone!" Felicity exploded throwing her arms out for emphasis on emotion.

"Um…Okay…Never mind" Elena muttered. Felicity and her walked away.

"Hey Felicity?" Elena said.

"What?"

"How come you snapped at the guys back there?" she asked.

"Simple…I just don't like them!"

"But how can you make that assumption already…I mean you haven't even gotten the chance to get to know them yet"

"So?" Felicity questioned, raising an eyebrow at the woman in challenge..

"Well…I'm just suggesting that that may be a good thing to do before you say that you hate them" Elena explained.

"Whatever" Felicity said.

But a few minutes later they arrived at Rufus's office. Elena knocked on the door.

"Come in" Rufus said. Elena and Felicity entered.

"Hi Rufus…I thought I'd come and introduce to you our newest Turk" Elena announced.

"Ah…So you're the one" Rufus said with a smile. "Pleasure to meet you" He extended his hand. Felicity accepted it. "And what would your name be?"

"Felicity Highwind"

"Oh yes…Highwind…Would be by chance related to Cid Highwind?" He asked retaining his smile.

"I'm his daughter" Felicity replied, her expression blank.

"Ah…Yes…Well anyway your first mission will be in two days" Rufus announced.

"Right" Felicity sighed, nodding.

"Okay well have a good day boss" Elena said.

"Thanks" Rufus said. With that Elena and Felicity exited Rufus's office.

"So what do you think of your new boss?" Elena asked.

"He's okay" Felicity said.

"Well if Rufus is okay then how come you hate the other guys?" Elena explained.

"Well Rufus is my boss…So I have to respect him…" Felicity said. Elena sighed.

"Whatever," she said.

"Well, what are my orders today?" Felicity asked.

"Well…Hmm…Today we'll make it simple since your first assignment is in two days…You can either get to know the guys better or just go home and come back in two days."

"I'll go home" Felicity picked without giving it any thought.

"Okay" Elena said. "See you in two days"

"Bye" with no further ado, she went home.

"Back so soon?" Cid wondered. "Did you screw up again after I specifically told you not to?!"

"No, it's not that…they let me go for the day…My first assignment is in two days…" she exlained.

"Oh how exciting!" Cid said.

"Um…Yeah…I guess…"

"Oh come on! Sound excited!" Cid said.

"…Whoo hoo…" Felicity said flatly while twirling a finger in the air.

"Okay. What's up? Why aren't you excited?" Cid asked.

"The fact that I have to work with three boneheads" Felicity said. 'Not to mention the murderers of my mother' she thought, but resisted uttering aloud.

"Ah…Lemme guess…Reno, Rude, and Tseng right?" Cid guessed.

"Yeah…How'd you know?" Felicity asked.

"Don't forget that I had to fight against them at a point in time"

"Oh…Right…"

"Well anyway I'm sure you'll do just fine" Cid stated.

"Yeah…I hope…" Felicity muttered, staring down at her hands.
