Chapter 2: Morning

A/N: I know I haven't written for a while, but school has been getting to me and I was working on my other story.

Hope this chapter is better than the last one.

This is an expanded chapter of Chapter 7 from the main story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Final Fantasy 7. I do own Mikomi and Usagi though.

"Talking"

"Thinking"

"Usagi Talking"

Enjoy!

When she woke up, she had to remind herself that she wasn't in Konoha anymore.

"That's right. I wound up in this strange world they called Gaia"

She looked at the stuffed wolf that Marlene let her use.

"Hey, Usagi. You up?"

She could hear the fox yawning in her head.

"I am now"

"Sorry if I woke you"

"That's cool. I'm sure you didn't want to wake up on a strange world on your own"

"I thought it was all just a dream"

"Me too, but as you can see, we're still stuck on this world. We might as well make the best of it"

Mikomi looked at Wolfy and closed her eyes.

"I miss Naruto"

"I know you do, but I'm sure he's alright. Yuri should be back from her mission soon, so he won't be alone for long"

"That's true, but I'm used to being woken up by him"

"You'll just have to make the best of it for now. You'll see him in no time"

Denzel and Marlene started to wake up.

"That's my que to leave. See you later, Mikomi. And stay out of trouble"

Marlene sat up in her bed and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She smiled when she saw Mikomi.

"Good morning"

Mikomi gave her a small smile in return.

"Good morning"

Marlene jumped out of her bed and went to Mikomi's.

"Did Wolfy keep you company last night?"

Mikomi nodded as she held the wolf.

"He did, thank you for letting me sleep with him"

Marlene smiled.

"You're welcome"

Denzel sat on her bed as well.

He had this curious look on his face that reminded her of Naruto.

"So…you're from a different world?"

Mikomi nodded.

"That's what everyone is saying. I've never heard of a place called Edger before, so it must be true"

"And you're a ninja?"

"Yep"

She took off the headband that she tied around her neck. She used it to hide the nasty scar that ran across her throat.

She held her headband out to him.

"This headband means that I'm a ninja from The Village Hidden in the Leaves. I can't do mission unless I have this"

Denzel picked it up and examined it.

"This looks cool"

He tied it around his neck in the same manner that Mikomi wore it.

"Do you have to wear it like this?"

Mikomi giggled a little.

"No. People usually wear around their foreheads; I just like to wear mine around my neck"

She fixed it so it was around his forehead like how Naruto wore his.

He looked pretty good with it on.

It slipped and fell over his eyes a few seconds later.

They burst into giggles.

Mikomi had to admit that they were really cute.

Out of nowhere, their stomachs started to gurgle.

They all blushed a little in embarrassment.

"Looks like we should go downstairs to eat" Denzel said.

He got off the bed and went downstairs for breakfast.

Marlene got off and held her hand out for Mikomi.

"Come on. Let's go eat"

She gave the girl a soft smile and wrapped her hand around the tiny girl's hand.

Marlene led her downstairs to where Tifa was probably making breakfast.

The smell of bacon and eggs hit Mikomi's nostrils when she came down.

She didn't realize how hungry she really was until just then.

Tifa was busy at preparing everyone's meal.

Marlene went up to Tifa and hugged her leg.

"Tifa, our guest is up"

Tifa turned around and smiled at Mikomi.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?"

Mikomi nodded.

"Yes. Thank you again for the bed"

Tifa just waved her off.

"Please, you're our guest. It's not every day that we have company, let alone someone from a different world"

She went back to making breakfast and started making pancakes.

Denzel came into the room.

"Tifa, they're here"

Tifa grinned.

"Oh good"

She turned to Mikomi.

"Cid, Barret and Yuffie are joining us for breakfast. They wanted to get to know you better, if that's alright?"

Mikomi just shrugged.

"I don't mind. I need to know more about this world, so maybe they can help me"

Tifa grinned.

"Oh good"

Marlene tugged on her arm.

"You can sit by me for breakfast"

She pulled her into the dining room to where they would be eating.

Everyone was pretty much there when she came into the dining room.

Yuffie burst out of her seat when she saw her.

"Good morning ninja buddy!"

She ran up to her and gave her a tight bear hug.

"Are you enjoying your stay here so far?"

Mikomi held back a flinch as Yuffie hugged her. She hugged just like Yuri.

"So far, yeah. But I'm still unsure as to where I'm at exactly"

Yuffie let her go and grinned at her.

"Don't worry. I can give you a grand tour while you're staying here. I can even show you Wutai!"

She squealed at the idea.

"Oh, I'm so excited that I finally found someone who's a ninja as well! There are so few of us that it's not even funny"

Mikomi held back a giggle.

This Yuffie person was really funny.

Marlene tugged on her arm again.

"Come on, sit with me"

Yuffie pushed her from behind.

"You sit by me too!"

Mikomi was guided to her seat and was shoved down by Yuffie.

She looked across the table to see Cid and Barret starting at her.

They were both studying her with a look that made her feel uneasy.

Marlene sat next to her and gave her a smile.

"Don't worry about my daddy. He's really nice"

Barret, who was sitting next to her, ruffled his daughter's hair.

Cid stuck a cigarette in his mouth and went to light it.

"Cid! Don't smoke now! We're about to eat for crying out loud" Yuffie cried.

"Plus, we have a guest. I don't think she wants her lungs to be filled up with such toxic smoke"

Cid sent her a nasty glare.

Nobody told Cid when he should smoke.

Mikomi waved her hands defensively.

"T-that's fine! I don't mind. I have friends who smoke a lot from where I'm from"

"Not to mention Yuri smokes when she's stressed out" Usagi added.

"Feel free to smoke. I don't care"

Cid just shrugged and struck his match.

Cloud came in just as he was about to light his cigarette.

"Cid, what have I told you about smoking when we're about to eat?"

Cid just growled and put his match out. Sure, he didn't take crap from anyone, but when it came to Cloud then he had no choice.

Marlene got up from her seat and hugged Cloud's leg.

"Morning, Cloud"

Cloud just patted her head. He was always too shy to show his soft side.

"Morning Marlene"

She went back to her seat and grabbed Mikomi's arm.

"Are you going to say hi to Mikomi?"

Cloud nearly flinched. He almost forgot that he found this girl who looked like Aerith.

He really didn't want to, but he knew it would be wrong if he did.

He wiled himself to face her and he almost looked away when he made eye contact with her.

Those green eyes seemed to haunt him as he looked at them.

The last time he saw those green eyes, they were dull and lifeless.

Mikomi gave him a small smile and a wave.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?"

Cloud just looked at her with that blank, emotionless look of his and nodded.

Mikomi sweat dropped but didn't say anything.

Tifa came into the room with platefuls of food.

She struggled a bit as she tried to make sure the orange juice didn't spill.

Mikomi quickly got up from her seat and grabbed a few plates from her.

"Here, let me help you"

Tifa smiled at her.

"Well aren't you sweet"

She quickly rounded on her friends.

"Why can't you be more helpful like our guest? Just for that, you don't get second!"

"Keep your pants on, Tifa" Cid said. "It's just breakfast"

Tifa glared at him.

"Just for that, you don't get a full serving"

She gave Cid only one pancake and a strip of bacon while she gave everyone two.

Tifa gave Mikomi three of everything.

"You eat as much as you like" She said.

Mikomi blushed but thanked her.

They all ate in silence, except for Cid, who was swearing over his small meal.

Mikomi silently munched on her piece of bacon.

Now that she was fully awake, she needed to figure out how she was going to get back home.

"I need to hurry, or else Naruto will worry"

"Who care about that kid? He's old enough to take care of himself." Usagi said.

"Now give me that bacon before I take over your body to eat it"

Mikomi mentally smiled and ate her bacon.

"God damn, that's good! This Tifa chick sure knows how to cook"

Mikomi had to agree.

She heard Cid's stomach growl and saw him looking at his empty plate.

She felt bad for him. He really didn't do anything wrong.

"I should give him some of my food" She thought.

"If you don't give him the bacon, then it's fine by me. Otherwise, you'll have one unhappy fox" Usagi said.

She took one of her pancakes and plopped it on Cid's plate.

"What the?"

The pilot looked up to see her give him a second pancake.

She pressed her finger to her lips to tell him to be quiet.

"Eat them before she comes back" She whispered.

Cid raised an eyebrow at her as she ate her eggs.

Tifa could be heard coming back, so he quickly shoved the pancakes into his mouth and painfully swallowed them.

The martial artist came in just as he was able to get the wad of pancakes down his throat.

Tifa smiled when she saw that Mikomi's plate was practically empty.

"Wow, you must have been hungry. I'll go make you some more"

She went back to the kitchen to make some more.

Mikomi looked at Cid and winked at him. The pilot managed to give her a lop sided grin.

Mikomi went to finish her eggs when she saw a strip of bacon land on her plate.

She looked to her right to see Marlene give her another piece of bacon.

"You look like you're hungry" the little girl said.

Mikomi gave her a soft smile.

"Thank you"

Yuffie felt left out, so she gave her one of her pancakes.

"Here you go, since Cid pretty much ate all of your pancakes"

Cid gave her a nasty glare.

"You little"

Mikomi giggled as she watched to two bicker.

Even though this was her first day as being a guest to AVALANCE, she had to admit that she was liking her stay so far.

She was still worried about getting home to Naruto, but it wouldn't hurt to have a mini vacation.

"I'm up for it. You've been working way too hard and hardly had any time for a break. I suggest you enjoy it while you can"

Mikomi grinned at Usagi.

"What the heck, it's not like I have anything better to do"

With that, she happily munched on her bacon as she anticipated on her knew adventure on this strange world.

A/N: Hope you guys liked it. I thought it would be interesting if I extended the breakfast scene from the original story.

Remember to send in those reviews please.

I'll give you a cookie if you do.
