Me:coughs:

Sera: Hey, sicky.

Me:glares: It's no fun being sick if you have to miss choir for it.

Sera: I thought you didn't like school very much?

Me:takes a cough drop: No, I don't, but I hate that I had to leave in the middle of choir. My teacher's preparing us for a concert soon. AND my coughing goes through cough drops too…:coughs a couple of times:

Sera: Hehehe…Reader doesn't own FF VII, or any of the characters here except for Sam and myself.

Me:coughs again: This is partially in Sera's POV. Enjoy!

Sera woke up to stars shining in her eyes. Wait; doesn't the plate block the sky here? The brunette earth-user thought before she sat up slowly. Taking on bits of information that Sam had forced into her brain, Sera deducted that she was merely stunned. She looked around and spied her friend in a patch of soft earth much like the earth the conscious teenager was currently sitting in. "Sam." The curly-haired girl didn't respond. "Great." Sera muttered and lifted her friend so that she wouldn't have to carry her full weight any longer than necessary. Spying a church, the trenchcoat-wearing girl dragged her 'creator' inside.

"Why hello there!" A kind female voice called. The voice came from a young woman with her long, light brown hair braided and tied with a white ribbon and deep green eyes. She wore a pink button up dress (as strange as it sounds) with the bottom 5 or so unbuttoned to allow her to run with brown boots visible. An iron rod was resting against a door that led upstairs. Cloud was standing just beside a garden of bright flowers, looking a little beaten up. "And who's you're friend, boy?"

"…I'm not a boy and this is friend, Sam. We fell off the scaffolding of a building not too far from here." Sera said, giving a warning glance to Cloud while lying. "Do you have any potions or better yet, a phoenix down to spare?" The woman shook her head, but Cloud took out a couple of potions and carefully poured the liquid down Sam's throat while tilting her head back. A couple of seconds later, Sam moaned and opened her eyes a little.

"Sera? Where are we?" The gypsy-like girl asked quietly. "Feels like I lost about 300 HP…" Sera sweatdropped a little. "Serafina Elemantis, why the hell didn't you use the earth platform? You coulda done it…" Sera winced at the use of her full name. Thankfully, the woman and Cloud were talking, so they weren't paying any attention to Sam's rambling. The woman went to check the flowers when Sam recognized her. "Hey, isn't that…?"

"My name is…I'm Aeris, the flower girl. Nice to meet you." She bowed a little to the three others.

"I'm Sam, uh, future reader I guess."

"Sera. Sam's sort of bodyguard."

"The name's Cloud. Me? I do a little bit of everything."

"Oh…a jack-of-all-trades" Aeris responded.

"Yeah, I do whatever's needed. What's so funny? What are you laughing at?" Aeris' laugh was a comfort to both Sam and Sera. Sam carefully took her weight off of Sera's shoulder and stood tall, getting ready to run when the scene ended. The brown-eyed girl raised an eyebrow, but shrugged and worked out her shoulder a little.

"Sorry…I just…" The older woman paused, seeing some people coming into the church. Sam and Sera turned casually, and Cloud saw the people as well. Aeris whispered what Sam knew to be an offer to be her bodyguard in exchange for a date to Cloud. Cloud then started shouting at the soldiers and Reno and ran off with Aeris grabbing her rod before heading upstairs. Sam and Sera followed them quickly. Soon, Cloud jumped over a gap in the floor with Sam and Sera jumping over as well.

"Aeris! This way! All right I'll hold them off."

"Right. Make sure they don't get through!" She yelled.

"The Ancient is getting away! Attack! Attack! Attack!" Reno, the redhead Turk ordered. The soldiers shot their rifles, causing Aeris to fall. After playing the game, 'look, there's a squirrel' with the soldiers, the four of them ran to the roof of the church. Cloud explained to Aeris about the Turks and like before, Sam tuned him out and Sera listened avidly.

"I think we should split up." Sam suggested. "The Turks won't know who to follow if we head in opposite directions and meet in the same place."

"How about my house? It's nearby."

"We'll watch you from the sidelines to find out where it is." Sera told the others. They all nodded at the same time. Both groups jumped from rooftop to rooftop across the street from each other to stay within sight range. Finally, the group met in an intersection with a path leading to the north.

"Whew! Finally made it off! Now what… My house is over here. Hurry

before he comes." Soon, they were all safely in Elmyra's house with no sign of the Turks anywhere.

Me: Just so you know, my computer was being weird with the italics, so I used bold too.

Sera: And what happens next…?

Me: Is a secret to those who don't know until I get to update again.

Sera: And why the hell did you use my full name?

Me: To embarrass you of course.

Sera:glares: I hate you.

Me: What else is new:coughs again:
