As this terrible thought was dawning on me, I remembered that Odette had called me last night and Yuffie was in town. Yuffie had always brought out the best in me and I always looked forward to seeing her because she was just so innocent and carefree. I had never met her friends although she's offered many times before. She had never told me anything about them, just that they were part of a group called AVALANCHE. I decided that I needed a good laugh right about now since I was jobless, so I walked over to my parking space only to find that my scooter had been stolen. I just stared at the now empty parking space in horror.

"You've got to be kidding me right? This isn't really happening, let me turn around and then turn back and check!" I whirled around quickly in a circle and then let out a groan of defeat when it still wasn't there. Yelling out a few profanities, I started walking back to your apartment. This wasn't the easiest task in the world considering I was wearing a business suit and high heels. When I finally reached my apartment, I saw the old woman who owned the place hanging something on my door.

"What can I do for you Mrs. McCray?" She turned around and grabbed her chest in horror.

"Oh my lord Kaylee you scared the living daylights out of me!" She yelled in horror.

"Sorry about that."

"I was just stopping by to drop this off for you. I'm terribly sorry, but I have to do this for it's a part of the job." She turned and started walking down the hall. I keyed into the door and plopped down on a kitchen chair and rested my elbows on the wooden table, which was rotting.

NOTICE OF EVICTION: The following person[s] is being evicted from their room for the following reason[s]:

Was this a sick joke? I had managed to create a new record: I lost my job AND lost my home all in the same day. I crumpled the piece of paper and sighed. I stalked into the bedroom and changed into something casual so I could meet Odette and Yuffie already. I wasn't exactly thrilled to tell them the news, Odette would have a field day. I stepped out of the door in a funk when I heard someone hollering my name from behind. I spun around on my heels to be met face to face with some kid I had never met before. He looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where from.

"Uhh, do I know you?" I asked a bit creeped out. He looked a little hurt but didn't really react. He had the appearance of an overeager teenager with spiked purple hair, a lot of acne, and a long leather jacket.

"I live in the apartment building across from you and I've heard you sing before and have seen your shows at the book store!" He was extremely weird.

"Oh well, it's flattering to know someone likes it...you do like it right?" I asked.

"Oh yes very much! I guess you could say I even started a fan club on my own if you want to put it that way!" That was creepy.

"Oh, well sorry to rush off like this but I'm meeting two of my friends; so I'll see you later." I said in attempt to escape.

"Yes, yes you will!" He yelled. I walked away on my guard as he watched every step I took. When I finally reached Odette's relief coursed throughout my body when she answered the door. I was never exactly positive what Odette did, but her house was huge and gorgeous. Just being twenty three years old, she had made an entire living for herself, I couldn't help but be a little bit envious.

"Kaylee! I'm so glad you're here, Yuffie was getting impatient." She laid eyes on me for about five seconds and understood that something had happened. "What happened this time?"

"It's a long story." I said as I walked through the door. I went straight to the cupboard and grabbed a packet of fruit snacks—she always kept them around because she knew I loved them. I plopped down on her milk-white sofa, without any stains, and kicked my shoes off. I took a deep sigh and began to relay my tale of woe.

"So you have no money and nowhere to go?" she asked.

"Exactly." I responded.

"I have an idea...Yuffie!" Yuffie came running down the stairs and when she saw me she bull charged me straight into the wall and almost broke the couch.

"Kayleeee! I've missed you! What's new, what's happening, are you over your depression yet?" I just laughed and threw her off of me. Odette just sighed and started to fill Yuffie in on everything that I had just told her while Yuffie messed around with my hair. "So you've got nowhere to go at all and no money?"

"None whatsoever." I replied.

"You can come back with me and if you pitch in around the place you can stay with my friends at their bar. It shouldn't be a problem and they're really nice; Cloud is just like you, you'll get along fine." She said with a grin.

"I don't know Yuffie, I suppose I could. I've never met them before and I don't want to be a nuisance." I said uneasily.

"It's no trouble at all. We'll leave tomorrow."
