It's been four and a half years since Cloud and the others defeated Sepheroth again and since the Geo Stigma cleared up in the city of Midgar. Cloud and Tifa found Leah two years ago in the church where the flowers are. They saw Leah was infected with the stigma that was infecting her right eye almost blinding her until Cloud and Tifa used the spring to clear the infection up for her. Tifa saw that Leah didn't have a place to call home when she saw Leah at the church a few times when Tifa went back with Aeris. (A/N: In this fic, Aeris is alive in this fic instead of being dead) So, Tifa decided to take Leah back to the Seven Heaven Bar where Leah met Marlene.

At first, Leah was shy of the little nine-year-old girl. However, as the months went by, Leah and Marlene began to get to know each other along with Cloud and the rest of AVALANCE and Zidane and his friends. It took two hours to find where the address was in Alexandria until she finally found it.

"Finally. It took me two house," Leah said out of breath as she walked up to the medium-sized house and rand the doorbell. She waited for a few minutes before hearing someone open the door.

"Yes?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Hi, I'm here to deliver a package for Ms. Carley Palmer," Leah said.

"Oh, yeah. She's upstairs. You can take the package up to her room if you want."

"Okay. Thank you." Leah walks up the stairs of the Palmers house where she saw a Shrek poster on the door along with something that read 'Carley's Room' as Leah gently knocked on the door.

"Come in," The girl called out from inside as Leah opened the door. "Oh, uh, hi."

"Hi." It is a girl who looked like she's about Leah's age but two to three years older than her. She has short black and red hair with the same glasses and has blue eyes. "Hey, I've seen you before. You hang out with General Beatrix and Stiener."

"Uh, yeah, I've seen you a few times deliver at the Alexander castle and hang out with Baku and the Tantulus gang of thieves," The girl said.

"Yeah. They're my friends," Leah said giving the girl her package, "Here's your package."

"Thanks." The woman unwraps the box. "Alright! My Shrek books arrived! And my new symbol cane is here, too!"

"You're a Shrek fan, too?"

"Yeah. I've been one since I was thirteen."

"I've been one since I was nine. I have all the Shrek DVD's."

"Same here," The girl said as Leah heard her cell phone ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Leah. Just making sure if the person got the delivery," Tifa said.

"Yeah, she got it. I'll be home later on. I'm gonna hang out with Zidane and the Tantulus Bandits."

"Yeah. I'll let Cloud and the others know."

"Okay. Later." Leah hangs up the phone.

"Who was that?" The black haired girl asked.

"Tifa. She's my caretaker along with Cloud," Leah said, "Since I have nothing to do, you wanna hang out?"

"Uh, h-hang out? With me?"

"Yeah. I mean, you seem to be a nice person. My name's Leah Roberts by the way."

"I'm Carley Palmer," The girl named Carley said, "But why do you want to hang out with someone like me?"

"Why? Am I not suppose to hang out with you? You seem funny and nice like I said," Leah says, "So, you wanna go and hang out or what?"

Carley timidly fidgeted until she nodded her head. "Sure."

"Awesome. Come on. If we make it, Ruby should be able to give us free drinks," Leah said as her and Carley walked out of Carley's house.
