Hey again guys!
Please enjoy and don't be afraid to review.

I do not own anything to do with Final Fantasy VII (That right goes to Square Enix), I only own the original character, Tristis Memoria/Nix Somnium and the twists added to the plot.

Chapter One - Sleeping Under the Banora Whites

Genesis was just a young boy when he had began reading large, text filled books. He was so engrossed with the meanings and themes behind each book that he had sometimes forgotten to eat lunch. He was a young boy with crimson hair and matching eyes. His skin was slightly more pale than others for the mere reason that he hardly went out much. He didn't really have anyone to play with and he always had his books.

He was luckier than other children. His father owned a large orchard of Banora whites. The sweet apples were coloured of gradients of blue and purple and was one of his favourite things. They were also referred as 'Dumbapples' because the trees seemed to bear fruit in random seasons. They were never in sync and it always left Genesis wondering why.

"Genesis." A boy's voice was heard.

His wooden door opened to reveal a boy his age. He had raven black hair, hazel eyes and a friendly smile upon his lips. "Angeal." Genesis said as he placed his book down.

"Stuck up here reading again?" His friend asked.

He got nothing but a shrug in return, "Nothing else to do."

"What are you talking about? We can go outside and play around the dumbapple orchard."

Genesis didn't really care, as long as he wasn't bored. Angeal was always a great friend. Sure, his social status was lower than his, but it didn't really matter. His parents weren't so hung up with the society status and how to treat others differently crap. So they ventured outside and gathered some sticks. They decided to play sword fighting. They imagined that the orchard was an unfamiliar jungle filled with fiends ready to eat them up. There was no doubt that this was a fun game... Maybe it was a tiny bit better than reading all the time. Only by a little bit though.

"Oh no! Look out for the dragon!" Angeal called out.

They ducked down and began swinging their sticks at the invisible monster, making fake clanging noises as their swords came in contact with the dragon scales. "I'll take it from behind!" He bravely shouted as he disappeared behind a tree, only to reappear a few steps away, facing his friend. He imagined climbing up on the dragon like a real hero and slaying it with Angeal. "We did it!" They grinned childishly at eachother.

As they cheered for themselves, Genesis noticed a younger girl. Her innocent green eyes were bright as she stared in awe. She was wearing a light blue sundress and white sandals with a bow on them. She was also holding a small white teddy bear in her arms. "Hello." Angeal greeted softly to the little girl.

She squeaked and hid behind a tree, peaking out with her brown side ponytail swaying. They laughed at her behavior before approaching her slowly. "My name is Genesis and this is Angeal. What's your name?"

She looked at them curiously before stepping out of her hiding space while clutching her bear. "T-Tristis." She mumbled.

"Want to play with us?"

"C-Can I?" She squeaked.

Angeal nodded, "We haven't seen you before. Are you new here?"

She shuffled her feet nervously, "M-Mommy and daddy say we're going to come here in Summer for a little while."

There was no more talking after that. They played with the sticks as swords, although Angeal and Genesis did go easy on her because she was a girl and she was younger. Angeal had gotten out a ball to play catch with as well. But what was most fun was playing tag, since two player tag didn't really work out. Tristis was surprisingly sneaky and quite fast so it was really hard catching her, but Genesis liked a good challenge.

It was nice to hear her squeal and laugh, but they were soon too tired to play, so they laid down on the grass. She leaned against a tree in the cool shade while Genesis and Angeal laid their heads on either side of her lap because the ground was too hard for them. Just like that, they fell asleep with the cool breeze brushing past them, lulling them to sleep.

With their hands linked together, they slept with sweet dreams in mind, having the shade and trees shield them from any prying eyes...

I'm sorry if they seem OOC... I just thought little boys would behave that way. And I'm sure Angeal's and Genesis's eyes weren't mako blue when they were children, only after getting mako injections should that happen. But even so, I thought Genesis and Angeal's eyes weren't mako blue. I always thought Angeal's would be midnight blue while Genesis's was red... I thought they were experiments and weren't tampered with mako... But oh well, please correct me (in a review) if I'm wrong.

I really hope you enjoyed this chapter (even though I hate how short it seems). I'll make the other chapters longer, but these few chapters aren't that important. They're only emphasising about how mysterious Tristis is and how they first met her as children.

Thank you!
