I do NOT own Harry Potter, Final Fantasy or Lol. I only own my Oc's and story idea.

Off we go!

CHAPTER 3: Reunion! Friends Of Old.

COSTA DEL SOL

Time almost stood still as Diana stared at Sephiroth her mind going a mile an hour, she had not been expecting to see him here in Costa Del Sol! She gave him a quick glance over she took in his outfit before spotting the Shinra logo on his belt.

'Right, Sephy-Kun said he would become a SOLDIER' Diana thought as she looked back at her friends face she had to admit he grew into a handsome man.

Sephiroth felt his heart beat quicken as he kept his blade locked with Diana's, she had grown a lot since they were children. He found his eyes drawn to her face where a scar rested, how did she get that?

Finally, the two jumped away from each other, Diana landed in a crouch before standing up and putting her blades away. What was next? Her friends from Banora?

"Sephiroth!" A male voice yelled as Diana looked over and mentally groaned.

'I had to jinx myself? Me and my luck!' Diana thought as she looked at the two who had just arrived, Genesis and Angeal her friends from Banora.

"Sephiroth! What...is...wrong?" Genesis asked as he trailed off at seeing Diana with wide eyes while Angeal had a look of shock on his face.

Diana smirks saying "Hello boys, long time no see"

"Diana!?" Angeal and Genesis yelled making Diana laugh.

"Yes, it's little old me," Diana said as she walked over to stand near the three males.

She held out her arms with a grin asking "What? No hug for your best friend and honorary sister?"

Angeal shook his head before giving a chuckle as he went over and pulled Diana into a bear hug, he and Genesis always did see Diana as a little sister in a way.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were still traveling or something?" Genesis asked as he walked over to give Diana a hug as well making her chuckle.

"I was but mother decided it was time to head back to Midgar, to settle down at last" Diana said as she turned to Sephiroth.

Without a word he put his sword away and took a step over to give her a hug making her grin saying "Always one for a hug, eh?"

"Only from you," Sephiroth said as he released her before looking around the area at the Wutai troops.

"Did they cause the explosion?" Sephiroth asked after doing a quick body count while Angeal gathered up the none dead troops to take back for information.

"There were seven troops, one blew himself up while I took down the other six" Diana explained as she looked at the Wutai troops.

"Impressive, you've gotten very skilled over the years," Genesis said looking the damage over.

"Well, I am planning on joining SOLDIER so I need all the skills I can get," Diana said as she waited for the information to sink in.

"That's good news, wait...WHAT!?" Genesis yelled as his mind caught on to what Diana just said while Angeal looked at his friend who was standing there with a big grin on her face looking all innocent.

Sephiroth looked stunned for a split second before letting a small grin show on his face as he pulled Diana into another hug, looks like he was getting another friend in SOLDIER very soon.

Diana laughed at Genesis's face making him huff, before breaking out into a poem.

"When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end The goddess descends from the sky Wings of light and dark spread afar She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting," Genesis said with a serious face but after a few second broke out into a grin as Diana chuckled.

"The prolog to Loveless, you never change Gen," Diana said as Sephiroth released her from his hug.

Angeal nods saying "He never will, you know it is going to be hard to join SOLDIER"

Diana merely grinned a glint in her eyes that promised mischief and laughter, it was a look the men all recognized as her 'Prankster' mode. She would enter this state when she was really wanting to mess with someone's head.

"Oh really? Hard you say? Well," Diana asked as she walked over to the out cold Wutai men and got her daggers back making pained groans ring out as she did so.

"Where do I sign up then?" She asked while turning to face her two brother figures and best friend.

The big smirk on her face said it all, she was ready to cause some chaos and enjoy every second of it.

Sephiroth chuckles as he said "We'll show you"

"I hope to the Goddess that we survive this, Diana is a one woman chaos machine," Genesis said as he looked at Angeal who looked torn between wanting to help Diana or scold her for the chaos she was about to inflict.

'New adventure here I come!' Diana thought as she walked over and began to help her friends take the Wutai men back to the main area of Costa Del Sol.

A FEW HOURS LATER

Lisa sighs as she stood with her hands on her hips and leaning a bit on her right leg, she had an 'Are you serious?' Look on her face. In front of her was Diana getting a piggyback ride from Angeal while Genesis looked on in amusement as Sephiroth tried to keep a straight face at seeing the now neon green Shinra SOLDIERS and Cadets.

"I leave you to take care of a fight and this happens?" Lisa asked as she looked at her daughter with a raised eyebrow.

Diana smirks getting off Angeal's back saying "Yep! Living up to my heritage! Hahaha!"

Lisa huffed before breaking out into a smile saying "That you are my dear, that you are"

"I guess you are going to join SOLDIER now?" Lisa asked as she walked over to her daughter who nods.

"It's been my dream since I was young, I can protect the people I care about now," Diana said as she calmed down and gave her mother a soft smile.

"I see," Lisa said as she pulled her daughter into a tight hug, as much as she didn't want her daughter to get hurt she did want her daughter to follow her dream.

Even if it meant Diana going to Shinra, at least she had her childhood friends with her to keep her relatively safe. Lisa knew her daughter would get into a lot of trouble, mostly by pranking.

"Please be safe and write to me every chance you get," Lisa said as she pulled back from the hug.

Diana smiles saying "I will I give you my word, I'm a Nightingale and Nightingales never,"

"Go back on their word, I know, make me proud" Lisa finished for her daughter as the two shared a chuckle.

Lisa then turned to the three 1st class SOLDIERs, a stern look on her face.

"I want you three boys to take good care of my daughter, understood?" Lisa said in a time that only a mother could use.

"Yes, ma'am!" The three said before jokingly saluting Lisa making her crack a smirk.

"Alright, I'm trusting you, but I do have a question," Lisa said as she relaxed and stood with one hand on her hip.

"Which is?" Diana asked walking to stand by her mother's side with crossed arms.

"Can I get a free ride home?" Lisa asked with a straight face making Diana burst out laughing her mother was still a prankster at heart.

"Never change mother, never change," Diana said after calming down from her laughter.

Lisa chuckles as she pulled her daughter into a side hug as they made their way over to the Shinra helicopter, it was going to be a ride to remember as both mother and daughter headed home for the first time in years.

MIDGAR

A DAY LATER

"This place is huge," Diana said as she walked beside Sephiroth in the SOLDIER area.

"It looked even bigger when I was a child," Sephiroth said as he glanced at his friend.

She sent him a smile before looking forward as they arrived at a training room, Sephiroth quickly put in a code making the door open with a hiss.

"After you," Sephiroth said letting Diana go in first.

"Such a gentleman" Diana said before walking inside the room with her silver-haired friend behind her.

"Welcome to one of the company training rooms, little sister," Genesis said as he spotted his little sister figure.

"This place is awesome!" Diana said as she ran over and hugged Genesis making him chuckle.

"It is, we have a present for you Diana" Genesis said as Angeal came over holding a purple uniform.

"A 2nd class uniform? Really?!" Diana asked as she went out and picked up the sleeveless jumper which was slightly modified to fit a female.

"Welcome to SOLDIER Diana, I'll be taking you on as my apprentice," Genesis said as he watched Diana smile.

"Thanks, guys!" Diana yelled before placing a kiss on her friend's cheeks.

This made Angeal rub his neck with a small chuckle as Genesis smirks while Sephiroth gained a small tinge of color on his cheeks, he looked awake trying to hide it as Diana gave him a teasing smirk.

"We're going to be having a long few months aren't we?" Genesis said while looking at Angeal.

Angeal nods as he watched Diana tease Sephiroth until he pulled out his sword Masamune to swing at Diana. She easily pulled out her blades and blocked the attack, this soon leads to a small spar as the two childhood friend watched on.

"That we are my friend, that we are," Angeal said with a chuckle as Diana tackled Sephiroth to the floor making the two burst out laughing.

It was going to be a glorious adventure for all of them.
