HI PEOPLES!!! I'm BACK!! Sorry that I haven't updated in a long while, but I've been busy and didn't have the motivation to write this. Until one of my best friends told me my motivation was that if I didn't update, I was gonna die! So of course I updated! Aren't you happy!
Alright, now that I'm finished with my ranting, I'm gonna have Bast do the disclaimer.
Bast: Smitdy does not own Final Fantasy 7, or its character. She does own me, Luna, and the plot...though she wishes she owned Cloud...
Anyways, I would like to thank my two reviewers: Hitsuji87 and Ashe you two ROCK!!
Please enjoy this chapter!!
Chapter 3- It's Just a Little Dress Up!
I got up in what I think was morning. 'I wouldn't know though because I'm blind'. I thought. I heard someone breathing softly and it sounded like Luna. So I found her shoulders and shook them. "Luna! Luna wake up!" I told her calling in a small voice. I heard her sit up. "Yes what is it Bast?" She asked me, her voice heavy with the sleep that she was just woken from. "I want to take a shower, but I don't know where the bathroom is." I told her. She apparently got up because I felt her tug on my hand. "This way!" She whispered to me as she started walking. She went slowly so I could feel some of the things on the way so I would know how to get back. Once we reached the bathroom she turned the water on and showed me where the towels were. "Thanks Luna!" I called to her as she left. "Sure thing!" I heard her answer as she shut the door. I quickly undressed and climbed into the shower.
The hot water running down felt good. And this just washed everything away. Thoughts of yesterday kept running through my head. What I thought Denzel's face looked like kept blocking out all the others. In my head, he would always be good enough. Luna had described him to me in perfect detail. He had shaggy brown hair. Brown, a color I have never really liked even though I haven't seen it. But brown on Denzel looks very pretty. He also had blue eyes. I loved the color blue, but it was so hard to describe. I didn't know what he was wearing and honestly, I couldn't care less. Uh-oh, water's getting cold. I turned the water off and dried myself off with a towel from where Luna said they would be. Looking around I found my clothes and put them on. Carefully, I waked back into the bedroom.
I heard Luna getting around for the day so I just sat on a chair and waited for her so we could go and eat. "Ready Bast?" Luna asked me. She sounded close. I nodded ad stood up. I heard Luna walking towards the stairs, and I followed her. "Watch the first step!" She warned me from the top of the stairs. I nodded again and felt with my foot for the first step. I found it and started to walk up the stairs, with absolutely no problems. The rest of the walk to the bar was just as uneventful. As we entered the bar, I heard footsteps running quickly from upstairs. I could her Luna and Tifa talking from further in the bar also. But what I really cared about was Denzel's voice coming from upstairs. Smiling, I turned towards the staircase. After a few seconds of silence, I heard two voices yelling my name. "BAST!!" Marlene and Denzel called in unison.
My grin must have widened a whole lot by the time Denzel and Marlene reached me. "Hi guys!" I managed to squeak out as both Marlene and Denzel hugged me very tightly. "Please let go!" I squeaked as I felt myself losing air. Instantly both pairs of arms dropped their hold on me. I breathed in heavily as Denzel and Marlene started to apologize to me. "No need I'm totally fine!!" I told them. I listened for Luna. I sounded like she was talking to Tifa still so I just sat on the closet stool in front of the counter. As Marlene and Denzel hopped up on stools beside me, I heard heavy footsteps coming down the stairs. Luna had already stopped talking and I heard the footsteps stop on the bottom steps, followed by whispering. "Tifa what's for breakfast?" I asked, turning my head to the side slightly. I could hear the smile in Tifa's voice as she started to talk. Bacon and eggs, and pancakes." She told me.
I smiled and suddenly thought of something. "Do you have milk?" I asked her. She laughed, as did Denzel, Marlene, Luna, and I think Cloud chuckled. I'm not sure if I blushed or not, but I hide my face anyways. While I was eating, I turned to where I thought Marlene was. "So what are we doing today?" I asked her. I heard her snicker mischievously. "Well, I was thinking, since it's your second day here, that we should show you around," She started. I nodded my head. But then I felt her lean forward and whisper in my ear. "But then I remembered a deal I made with Denzel a while ago. So, We're going to dress him up!" She told me excitedly. I giggled and nodded my head eagerly. I heard her get up and run upstairs. "Hey wait for me!" Denzel yelled running up the stairs after him. I smiled and continued to eat my food. I heard someone walking over to me. "Aren't you gonna go and play with them?" I heard Tifa ask. "I will, but I'm still eating." I told her taking another bite of my food. She laughed then went and did whatever she did.
Just as I started to eat again, someone sat next to me. "Hey squirt what are you up to?" Luna asked me. I smiled as I ate the rest of my eggs. Then I turned towards her. "Just finishing eating before I go play with Marlene and Denzel." I told her happily. "Wow squirt, I haven't seen you this excited for a while!!" She laughed as she messed up my hair. I hurriedly put my hair back in its place before I got up and walked over to the stairs. "You tell those two upstairs to play nice!" Tifa called to me. I smiled and nodded before walking up the stairs. I went to the room in which I heard Marlene talking. When I stepped inside the door, I was tackled. "Bast! You can't let her! You CAN'T!" He wailed. Laughing and smiling, I pushed him off and stood up again. "What if I told you I was helping her? HMM?" I teased him. I heard him whimper as Marlene pulled him up to his feet. "Bast shut the door. We're gonna start!" She told me. I shut the door then turned back to Marlene. "Now, the fun begins!" She laughed. I laughed to, and then remembered something. "Make sure you take a picture and show the grownups!" She thought about it for a bit. "Yeah alright lets begin!!" She laughed evilly and we began our work, Denzel protesting the whole time!

Luna's POV
I walked into the living room behind the bar and sat down on the floor. "Wow, the kids have been up there for a while now." I told Tifa as she came in and turned the TV on. "Yeah, they do that a lot. They'll probably come down with Denzel in some weird clothes or something!" She joked as she took a drink of her coffee. "Yeah!" I smiled back as I drank my hot tea. Ahh, hot tea, it's so delicious. The news came on, and we both sat quietly listening to the weather. Then the phone rang. "I'll get it!" Tifa said as she stood up and walked back into the bar. I listened to what she said. "Hello, this is Tifa. … Of course Yuffie…Yes, Yes you can… Alright it's settled then…Mmhum…Alright… OH! And Yuffie make sure you call everyone else…Yep…OK…See ya later…Bye." She hung up and walked back into the living room. "Was it the same girl I talked to yesterday?" I asked her as she sat back down. "Yup, it was Yuffie. She's comin over today and bringing everyone else with her. So we'll be having company soon." She answered taking a sip of her much needed coffee.
I smiled and finished off my tea. After about another hour, the front door opened and heavy footsteps came in. "Ahh Cloud's here early today!" Tifa said, standing up from her position on her chair and walking briskly into the bar. "Common Cloud, Luna is there too, we're waiting for the kids to come down stairs. And also because Yuffie and the gangs coming over today too!" Tifa called and walked back into the living room. Cloud followed her in and sat down on the couch. I looked up at him and smiled. "Hiya Cloud!" I told him waving with my free hand. He just looked at me. I turned away with a frown on my face and sighed before turning my attention back to the TV screen. Soon, the front door opened again, and a hyper-ninja girl (Yuffie) came in and landed on top of me. "HELLO LUNA!" She yelled and hugged me. I laughed and hugged her back. "Hi Yuffie!" I smiled and laughed.
Several men and a woman followed her. Tifa stood up when they looked at me suspiciously. "Luna these are the rest of my friends. This is Barret," She pointed at a big man with dark skin and a friendly smile. "Luna, good to met you!" He told me in a big booming voice. "Cid," She continued as she switched her pointing hand to an older man who looked nice, but very grumpy as well. "Kid," He said nodding at me. "And this is Cid's wife Shera," Tifa smiled as she indicated the woman next to Cid. "Hello Luna," She said all smilingly. "And this is Vincent," Tifa said looking at a man in the corner, dressed in red. He merely nodded at me. "Then we have Nanaki and Cait Sith!" She finished pointing to the cat and dog like creatures standing beside Barret. "Pleasure!" Cait Sith called in his Scottish accent. I smiled like huge. "Nice to met you all!" I said standing up. Tifa looked around as everyone sat down. "Now all we need are the kids…just where could they be?" She asked herself.
I was about to suggest we go get them, but there was no need to. We all heard a little struggle coming from the bar and then we heard Marlene. "Come on Denzel, its just a little dress up!" She told him. "But I don't want to go in there Marlene," there was a pause. "Bast please don't let her do this!" He added. Bast laughed. "It's just a little dress up!" Bast repeated. "Fine!" He yelled and stomped his way into the living room. There was absolute silence as we watched him walk in. Denzel walked in in all his dressed up glory. He was in a long pink dress (complete with frills, glitter, and fake diamonds) and pink high heels. His hair was put into a bun the best it could be and his ears had fake clip-on earrings on them. Pink. His necklace was made of fake pink diamonds and he had a pink tiara on top of his head. He was also covered in make up. As well as nail polish. I tried my best not to laugh. Marlene and Bast had walked in, Marlene admiring her handy work as Bast just smiled. Everyone else started to laugh (with the exception of Vincent), and even Cloud chuckled a little. That just got me, and I started cracking up.
Denzel looked down and blushed. "Come on guys! It isn't funny!" He tried his best not to sound embarrassed even though he obviously was. Barret laughed his big throaty deep laugh. "Ain't funny? Kid, you've got no humor at all if you ain't thinking this ain't funny!" He laughed. Everyone was in a state of laughter (again with the exception of Vincent). Cloud was still, no more than chuckling. Then I had calmed down enough, I looked over at Bast. She was hugging Denzel, but she abruptly stopped and waked him over the head. He laughed and his bad mood was instantly gone. After everyone had eaten and gone home, Bast and I walked down to our room. When we got down there, she held up a picture. "What's this?" I asked her as I put my pajamas on. "Oh this?" She asked pointing at the picture. "Yes that!" I laughed. She smiled. "Marlene took a picture of Denzel before we came down. I wanted to keep it, just in case I'm somehow cured of this horrible blindness!" She joked as she climbed in bed. "Good, cause some day you will be cured. I can tell!" I whispered as she fell asleep. Soon after, I dozed off too.
