Chapter II

Welcome to Garden

Cloud opened his eyes slowly.He looked around.Instead of waking up next to a worried Tifa in Midgar he woke up in a hospital bed.He threw the covers off and examined the rest of the room.It was an Infirmary like at a college.He saw a lady who looked like she was in her mid-sixties.

"Um……hello,"He said."Oh good youre awake,"the woman replied."Yeahhhhh,"Cloud said to himself."I found you laying in the streets of Balamb and Commander Squall refused that Id give you shelter here.I brought you anyway,oh by the way Im Dr.Kadowski." "Um……..hi,"Cloud ran his fingers through his spikey hair."My goodness,how much gel do you use?"she asked."Um…..Its naturally spikey,"Cloud replied.The 21-year-old defeater of Sephiroth exited the Infirmary.

Cloud realized he was in a Military Academy separated into different sections.Each color seemed to represent a certain section.

Blue-Library

Green-Training Center

Red-Cafeteria

Pink-Quad

Gray-Dormitory

Yellow-Parking lots

Cloud really wanted to know why the heck he got transported to this Military Academy.(And I bet you do as well)

Cloud stopped by a man with a brown jacket.This man had a scar that ran down near the bottom of his eye and the side of his nose."Excuse me ,sir,where is this place?" The man with the brown jacket sighed."You must be that civilian on the road that I told Dr.Kadowski not to bring here." "Yeah,sure,but WHERE AM I?" "Balamb Garden,Duh kiddo.Look,Ive got a lot of things to take care of-" "First of all,"Cloud interrupted."If I were to guess,Id say Im older than you.Second,what in the devils name is Balamb Garden.Are you with the Shinra?" The man grew wide-eyed."Do you dare talk to the commander like that?"

The man pulled out an odd sword that resembled a gun and a sword at the same time.Cloud pulled out his bustersword,ready to strike."Commander Leonhart,"said a man with blonde spikey hair like Clouds and a tattoo that took up half of his face.The man with the brown jacket gave the man a dirty look."Zell,whats wrong with you.This man just talked back to the Commander of Balamb Garden,meaning me!" "I know,but he was out cold in the streets,"The man whose name appeared to be `Zell' replied.The man with the brown jacket who was referred to as Squall gave Zell and odd look."Yeah,and….?"

"Dr.Kadowski says he mightve suffered amnesia,"Zell beamed.

Cloud growled."Hello!Im right here.I dont have amnesia….Im confused.Ive never herd of this military organaztion." Squall walked over to Cloud."How can any red-blooded citizen of Dole,never hear of Garden?" "Dole.Is that your country?"Cloud asked.

Zell cracked up."Dude,thats the name of this planet?" Clouds eyes widened.

I got transported to another Planet.But how? Ive got to play along,this just wont work.

"Im just playin,"Cloud smiled.Squall and Zell sighed in relief that they hadnt encountered an madman."Dude,that was lame,"Zell replied.Squall chuckled."Whats so funny?" "Its just that was better than any joke youve come up with and it stunk.So,howd you end up in the streets of Balamb,stranger?"Squall asked Cloud.

"Names Cloud and I had been walking around the plains that border this area for hours and I just passed out." "This area?"Squall questioned."Oh,you mean Balamb.This is a flying Military Academy and were over Fisherman Horizon right now."

Zell smiled at Cloud."Hey,can I see your sword again?" Cloud drew it for Zell."Whoa,that things bigger than Squalls waisteline." Squall walked up to Zell with a serious face."Zell Dincht,drop down and give me 50."
