Me: Reviews are awesome, art is appreciated, and my story's kinda popular!

Sera: That's only because you're insane.

Me: Am not!

Sera: Are too!

Iciclia: Will you both just stop fighting? Reader won't get anything written if you don't stop it.

Me: Fine.

Sera: Whatever.

Me: Icy was the first to recover and is now helping the other three become conscious. I don't own any character from FF 7. Sera and I are the only characters that I own.

Someone shaking her shoulder interrupted Sam's dream of a perfect world filled with free video games, free ice cream, and all the manga and anime in the world at her fingertips. She grunted and turned a little in her sleep. "Don't wanna go to school." The oblivious teen muttered.

"You're not. We're going to blow up a reactor, remember?" Sera's voice stated. Sam sat up in bed and noticed that her clothes were not wrinkled from sleeping in them. A hand mirror in front of her face showed that her hair was the same as it was yesterday, and that her earrings and headband hadn't moved at all.

"Whoa. We're defiantly in the game if nothing changed on the both of us." Sam said as the mirror was taken away.

"…"

"Oh no…" Sam muttered and looked at her friend. Instead of having blondish brown hair and bright blue eyes, Sera now had dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. "Dammit, I thought we took care of that."

"…"

"Right, right, 'if we had taken care of it, why am I having an Earth day?' I think that because we're on a different world, the rules change. Can you use any power besides earth right now?" Sera shook her head and replaced the skullcap over her hair. "You tried? And nothing happened? Oh man, it's worse than I thought…"

"Hey, new kids! Git your asses up here!" Sam sighed and left the room shortly after Sera. She spied Cloud sleeping before she went up the elevator. The two teenagers sat down on a couple of bar stools and waited for Cloud to come. When he came, Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie were already gone. As Cloud and Barret talked about materia, Sam tuned them out and Sera listened with interest. "Shi--! What's this? It wasn't that tough! Crap, I'm clueless…Well, you handle the materia then!"

"I'm going this time." Tifa stated.

"So are we." Sam stated as well. At their looks, she replied, "We're new and we don't have a clue to what the passwords are. Plus, we're both pretty decent at fighting." Sera nodded.

"…Fine." Cloud said.

"Marlene! You look after the store while we're gone!" Tifa called to the four-year-old girl.

"All right! Good luck!" She called back.

The five of them ran out and all of them followed Cloud to the train station. Inside the train, the scene with Barret and the Shinra manager played out. Afterwards, Cloud went with Tifa to look at the map and Biggs came over to the two teenagers. "Whoa, weren't your eyes blue yesterday?" Before Sam and Sera could come up with a good excuse, the alarm went off and Jessie told them all to run. Running from car to car was not what Sam wanted to do, but she didn't really have a choice in the matter. When they reached the open door, Sera started to protest.

"Sam! We can't--!" Before she could finish her sentence, Sam had grabbed her friend's hand and jumped. Fearing for both of their lives, Sera made the ground underneath them soft enough to land without getting hurt. "You idiot! You could have been killed! What were you thinking!"

"That you would save me, this is a stupid idea, and we're gonna meet up with Barret and the others. All at the same time. Plus, I wanted to hear your voice again."

"..." Sera went back to the silence that she normally used when she was having an Earth day.

"Yes,I know.You've told me that I'm stupid too many times to count."

"How do you do that?" Tifa's voice startled the two teenagers.They both turned around and sighed in reliefat the sight of the older woman."How can you tell what she's thinking by her silences?"

"There are two reasons for this. One, is that I can read her body language better than other people. Second, is that I've had years of practice to determine what her silences mean." Sam explained.

"And why are her eyes brown? They were blue yesterday..."

"Uh, that's a story that I'll tell you later. Right now, I think I see Cloud and Barret."

Me: I will explain Sera's powers later for those who haven't read my other story with her in it.

Sera: And yes, Gaea is really like that.

Gaea: ...

Me: Hmm...'Stop making fun of me, Sera, or I'll make certain that you are burnt to a crisp in the white hot center of the Earth.'

Gaea: Close enough. I only talk if I belive it is necessary to speak.

Me: In other words, she just likes listening. Please review!
