Since I already had these chapters saved on my computer, I figured I'd post these chapters (yes, I said chapters!) today, to keep the fans happy! I'll probably post at least one more chapter today.
Oh, and a special thank-you to Piper-Knight, who was the first to review this story (I forgot to thank them in the last chapter;I'm so sorry!) You get a special box of pocky!!!
Hope you read and enjoy!!

Disclaimer:I own nothing in this story, except for the original characters and the storyline (of course).
Oh, and I don't own Cloud or Kadaj (though I wish I owned the latter...er, former...I mean...aw, crap! Screw it...T.T)


The 'safe place to talk' I has spoken of turned out to be a stall in the men's bathroom. Guess I should've thought this through a little better...

"Why the hell are we in here?!" Lindsey asked when the stall door had been safely locked.

"I told you I have to talk to you."

"But in the men's bathroom?!"

"It was the only place I could think of on short notice!"

Lindsey looked down at the floor. "Eww!" she screeched.

"What is it?" I asked.

"There's a used condom on the floor!" yelled Lindsey.

"Ahhh!" I jumped on the toilet without realizing the lid was open...and my foot went straight down. I looked down. There was no condom on the floor. Goddamnit.

Lindsey started to laugh. I scowled.

"Well," said Lindsey, "you're the one who wanted to come into the men's bathroom."

"Ugh, forget it! I have something serious to tell you!," I yelled, jumping off of the toilet and back on the floor. (Thankfully, my foot had not touched the water.)

"Okay then, spill."

"You know the special guest they had at game stop today?"

"Oh yeah the voice actor guy...was he cool?"

"It wasn't a voice actor; it was Cloud."

"Oh that's cool."

Screech. I could almost feel the brakes slamming in my head. WHAT?!

I did a double take. I hadn't expected Lindsey to be convinced that quickly. "You believe me?"

Lindsey gave her a strange look. "What do you mean? Of course I believe you! There are people who cosplay like him all the time. I thought you would know that considering how much a fan of him you are."

I shook her head. "No, it wasn't a cosplayer!"

"An actor then?"

Ugh, I thought, slapping my palm against my forehead in frustration. This is gonna be hard!

"No it was the real deal! It was Cloud! They had him in a gigantic glass bubble."

Lindsey's eyes widened and she took out her cell phone. "What are you doing?" I asked.

"Calling someone to fix this problem," Lindsey said.

*Phew* Thank god...I relaxed; Lindsey really did believe me. After a few rings, someone on the other end picked up. "Hello, is this the state psyche ward? Yes; I'm calling to report that one of my friends has just..."

I took the phone away from her and threw it into the toilet.

"Hey! That phone cost me 150 bucks!"

"Oh never mind the phone! I'm not crazy!"

Lindsey looked suspicious. She held up her hand. "How many fingers am I holding up?"

"Three..."

"What year is it?"

"2010...."

"What grade are you in?"

"11th and I have all A's in my classes except for Mr. Leek's and that's because I forgot to turn in a paper."

Lindsey seemed more reassured. "Okay, so you're not crazy."

"No." Geez...

"Darn it. I was hoping you were." Lindsey looked disappointed for a second.

"Damn it Lindsey this is serious! Cloud is in a giganto bubble in a video game store surrounded by a bunch of geeks!" I ranted.

"Are you sure it wasn't some actor?"

"It was him Lindsey. I know it!"

"And you're serious?"

"I've never been this serious in my life!!!"

Lindsey studied me for a second. "Hmm...I can see you think you're telling the truth. But how you got so fooled is beyond me."

"I wasn't tricked Lindsey. I know it was him!"

"Christina, you do realize Cloud is just a video game character and that he is NOT real!!"

I felt slightly disappointed at that—I always did--but I quickly shrugged it off;there were more important things at hand. Like saving an awesome video game character's life...

"I know he's a video game character, but I'm telling you; somehow, someway, he became real! And he's trapped! We have to help him."

Lindsey was quiet for a few seconds. Probably contemplating my sanity.

"You do realize you sound absolutely insane right now."

"Yes." Duh.

"And you do realize that in no way shape or form do I believe you."

I hung my head. THAT much was obvious;I sound too crazy for it to be true, I suppose...

"But I see you really want this...And I'm willing to help you."

My head popped up at that. "Really?"

Lindsey nodded. "Just tell me what you want me to do."

I hugged her tightly. I was truly grateful for once. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," said Lindsey. We hugged for a second more before Lindsey released me and said, "You do realize that if we are caught and arrested for breaking and entering and possibly grand theft and/or kidnapping, that I'm blaming all of this on you and your crazy excuse that a video game character came to life."

I smiled. Of course. "Knew that from the beginning."

"Okay...so what's the plan?"

I smiled again and launched into it. My grand plan to save Cloud Strife...heh, never thought I'd actually say that.

After we were done and we were leaving, Lindsey looked over her shoulder at me and said, "Oh by the way you're buying me a new cellphone!"

I facepalmed;greeaaat.


As promised, I will get the next chapter (possibly chapters) posted ASAP!!! Please leave a review!!!
