Chapter 1

October 11, 4:30 A.M. ~Nibelheim~(Cloud's House)

Cloud: I'm leaving, mom. I'll come home someday and tell you everything.

Cloud's Mom: All right, your father would be proud. I'll tell Tifa that you've left already when she wakes up.

Cloud: I'm sorry I have to leave so early. Goodbye.

Cloud's Mom: I'm letting you go to find a place in the world for yourself. But for now, you're going with Zack seeing as you are only 14 years old.

Cloud: I'll get him now. See you, mom.

???:Don't cry...where are you...

Zack: What are you talking about? I'm right here.

???:...can't...hear you...

Zack: Who...who are you?

???:I can barely hear you...all the humans are too loud...pollution has clouded you from me...

Zack: Please. Tell me who you are.

???:He's here...

Zack: Who?

???:An impersonator...one who's...lived too many...lies...

Zack: What do I do now?

???:WAKE UP!

Cloud: Wake up, Zack!

Zack:*blink* Huh? Cloud? What are you doing here?

Cloud: I'm leaving for Midgar and my mom would like you to accompany me.

Zack:...I don't know...

Cloud: Please...I really have to go now.

Zack: All right, just let me get my things.

Cloud: Sure thing.

October 11, 5:30 A.M. ~Nibelheim~(Zack's House)

Cloud: All ready?

Zack: That's right...Tifa wanted me to tell you that she hopes you'll come back someday.

Cloud...

Zack:???

Cloud: We should be going.

Zack:...Yeah...

October 11, 6:00 A.M. ~Midgar~(Shinra Building)

President Shinra: You know what you are supposed to do?

Rufus: Of course. But if you think I can't do it, then you could send the Turks with me.

President Shinra: They are on their own secret mission. Also, I can assume that in your current position, you are more than capable of accomplishing this task.

Rufus: Indeed, father.

President Shinra: Your helicopter has arrived. I'm awaiting good news from you Rufus.

Rufus: Very well.

October 11, 6:15 A.M. ~Midgar~(Helicopter Pad)

Rufus: My good for nothing father. I propose that he has completely forgotten about my birthday.

???:That's right. He's long forgotten that day. But I would never let that slip my mind. Happy 15th birthday to you young Rufus.

Rufus: Thank you. But what I'm wondering is why my father is sending you to a backwater village such as Nibelheim.

???:That...I'm not quite sure of. But for you to complete your mission, I must be taken to the reactor in Mt. Nibel. I'll make it easy for you. Somehow, I know the way there myself so you can go on a little birthday vacation. You're President Shinra's only son, you can do what you want and how you want to.

Rufus: Interesting...Alright, a vacation it is. I'm rather excited on finding what makes people like them tick.
