Fall Days

Fall Days *1*

Not many changes in this one but I think two and three will have the most changes.

Thanks! Remember to COMMENT AND VOTE! :D

"That would look so amazing on you [Name]." Kairi gushed.
You were holding up a simple tee shirt wondering to yourself why it was so special. Then again you could have held up a black garbage bag in front of you and Kairi would have still gushed her strong love on it.
"Thanks Kairi." You said warily.

You were still not accustomed to hearing her compliment and speak kind words to you nearly every second of everyday.
"Annoying." Fuu spoke up.
She was folding shirts and putting them in their rightful place on the shelves. She was wearing a white short sleeve button up shirt with a pink skirt. It wasn't by choice though. That was the uniform for 'Totally Pink', the place where she worked and where you were now shopping.
"Excuse me?" Kairi replied in a rude manner.
Just because she was overly nice to you now didn't mean she had changed towards anyone else.
"Um hey Kairi can you go get me a smoothie? In kinda thirsty." You pleaded.
Her reply came quick and eager, "Of course! I'll be right back!"
She turned on her heel and went to leave the store. As she left she cried out, "So~ra!
You instantly felt bad about sending her to Sora and Riku who worked at the smoothie stand in the mall, but not bad enough to call her back.
"Smart." Fuu commented, you smiled in return.
"Thanks. See ya Fuu, I better leave before she comes back."
With that you put up the shirt and scurried out into the mall.
The mall wasn't thickly crowded but had quite a few people considering the weather was already starting to get chilly. Everyone was stocking up on winter clothes.
The mall was filled with happiness and an air of joy. The mall was now owned by some big company that was located in another world altogether. It was almost as if Xemnas, Sephiroth, and Rufus had never even existed.
But they had.
Xemnas was rich and powerful, and he did try and take over all the worlds. Sephiroth and Rufus did work side by side with him. You had the scars both mentally and physically to prove it.
"What's wrong?"
Your attention snapped to Demyx who looked worried. He was standing outside of the music shop he worked in all dressed up.
"Hmm? Nothing I'm fine. Why?" You asked.
He shrugged in response, "You looked worried and kinda tense [Name]."
You gave him the biggest smile you could muster, "I'm fine Demy. I was just thinking, thanks though."
A faint pink blush crept onto his face and left just as fast. That was something you had to worry about now too. It wasn't just [BOC] and you anymore. The others had all their memories now and were fairly determined to win your heart.
It confused you to no end. You didn't want to lose friends over something stupid like that. Especially not after all you've been through with them.
Demyx smiled at you and opened his mouth to speak, "[Name] I-"

Your eyes snapped open, but rather than getting up you continued to lay on the uncomfortable cot staring at the plain ceiling. That was another memory playing in your mind again. Every time you closed your eyes a past memory would greet you like a movie. Every time though it wasn't enough, you didn't want to remember what it felt like standing there with your friends. You wanted to be there standing next to your friends. Slowly you sat up and greeted the steel gray walls of your prison cell with a sigh and frown.
It was day eight, at least that's what you think. You can only count the days by the amount of times you’ve slept and woken up. Who knows how long you laid there unconscious. You picked up your legs and curled them into your chest; you were wearing gray sweatpants with a sleeveless white shirt. On the shirt read: GT011
Not that you knew what that meant.
You closed your eyes in another pathetic attempt to remember. To remember how you got here.

Click.
This is a universal broadcast directed to your home.
"This is Michelle Riley from Passim news, reporting live from outside of the courthouse in Sector 3. The case Sephiroth vs. USPC was sealed hours ago. In recap Sephiroth, Kadaj, and Loz have been sentenced to life in prison that will be carried out under Passim's supervision in high tech prison of Sector 12."
The court case of Shinra vs. USPC has been under way for nearly two hours now- wait...this just in....The Shinra case has just been closed in ruling of Rufus Shinra as not guilty."
On screen the court doors opened and out flowed a multitude of people, with them was Shinra himself. Reporters crowded him as the cameras got a close up of him.
"Mr. Shinra! Any comment of the case or ruling?" The reporter asked.
"I'm glad I was able to help put away Sephiroth and his team for they were truly deserving of their punishment and as for Xemnas...well he got what was deserved." He answered with ease.
"What about the rumors that you yourself had much to do with what went on in the world of Hollow Bastion?" Another reporter asked.
"The truth was shown here today in court and I'm glad that I had our great legal system to show all of Passim ,and all of the other worlds as well, that I Rufus Shinra played no part in the disaster other than trying to lend my help out to the heroes who stopped their despicable plans." Rufus smoothly lied with a all knowing smiling playing on his lips.
That was all you saw of the news broadcast before the remote control was sent flying towards the TV.
"That is such crap!" Ven yelled.
Sure he was a star baseball player but luckily at that moment, blinded by his fury, his throw missed the TV by inches and instead crashed into the wall exploding into different pieces.
"Ventus." Tifa sighed rising and walking to pick up the remote pieces.
Cloud remained silent across the room. He didn't bother yelling at Ven because he knew that if he was holding the remote at that time rather than Ven, he would have thrown it himself, and he wouldn't have missed.
"They let him go?" You asked quietly, mostly to yourself.
"They let him go." Roxas confirmed sitting beside you stiffly.
"Of course they did! Because he's now the richest guy in the universe now that Xemnas is gone so he probably paid off all of the jury and the judge!" Ven yelled in frustration.
With an angry sigh he fell back into his seat and covered his face, "After all we've been through. After all he did, he's gonna go free."
The room was deathly silent after that comment until the shrill ringing of the phone cut through the silence. Tifa rose to answer it.
"Hello-", Tifa began but was cut off abruptly.
"Can you believe this absolute bullcrap!? Why if I was that judge I'd sentence him to life on some far away distant moon where his mere presence couldn't bother anybody else!" Cid's voice was loud and angry as he shouted through the phone.
Tifa held the phone at arm's length to try and avoid any more damage to her ears. Everyone in the room couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at Cid's fiery rant.
"Toss it here." Cloud said with a small smirk on his lips.
Tifa tossed the phone to Cloud who set it down on the coffee table beside him.
"Vermin like him don't deserve all that they got! They should take every penny from him and donate it to something useful then ship him off to some jungle filled with things that’ll eat him!"
Cid continued to rant and you could still hear him through the phone's speaker.
"Just let him blow some steam off." Cloud murmured as he leaned back and closed his eyes.
"That's our mature baseball coach right there." Ven mumbled.
A knocking on the door was the next interruption. Before anyone even attempted to rise and answer it though Leon, Sora, and Yuffie came in. Yuffie leading the way of course.
"Can you believe this?!" She yelled with her hands on both sides of her hips.
Leon glanced around the room until he found the source of the noise he heard.
He pointed at the phone, "Cid?"
Cloud nodded, "Cid."
"This is so lame!" Yuffie continued as Sora came over to sit by you and Roxas.
Sora gave you his oh-so-famous grin, "Hey [Nam-"

"HEY!"
Your thoughts were interrupted by someone banging on the door in your room. You assumed it was a door. People came in once every blue moon but as soon as it was closed it faded into wall.
The door hissed and slid out revealing a girl standing there with your tray of food. Usually they just sent a guard who threw your tray in.
"Hey." She said and walked in, the door hissed closed behind her.
"Um hi." You replied dumbly.
"I brought you some food. I'm Lily." She was about your age with her brown hair pulled into a high ponytail, a few strands hung loosely around her tan oval face and in front of her dark green eyes.
Lily wore an outfit similar to yours except hers read: R001
“Oh”, You said and began to introduce yourself, not that you got very far, “I’m-”
"Ha everyone knows who you are. [Name] [Surname], the girl who beat Xemnas. You're the hot topic around the Power Ring and all of Passim lately.” Lily smirked with a wave of her hand.
A few things in her statement surprised you. Quite a few actually.
For instance you had no idea you were this big topic in the Power Ring and Passim. Especially since you didn't even know what the Power Ring or Passim was. Another key point that you've been pondering about is if you really were this big shot that beat Xemnas like everyone says how come your Gazing and Traveling ability seemed null in void whenever you tried to use it.
“Everyone knows who I am?” You asked in a quiet tone.
She rolled her eyes, "Duh! You and your friends stopped Xemnas and his gang!"
You nodded, that made some sense. Now for the questions that made no sense.
"What is the Power Ring and Passim?" You asked.
Passim you recognized somewhat, it was that planet Rufus and them got tried on. The one that sent him free.
Lily looked at you in shock, "You're kidding right?"
You shook your head and was answered with a mocking laugh.
"Wow you are a noob." She said through her fit of laughter.
That didn’t exactly make you feel any better. Who did she think she was to come in here and make fun of you? You had enough on your plate as is.
"Look what did you come in here for I'm tired and I just wann-", she waved you off as you spoke.
"Chill out [Name]." Lily said calming herself, "I'm here to help you. I'm not supposed to but I am. So what was your question?"
You considered her offer for a moment and repeated your question, "The Power Ring? And Passim?"
She nodded, "Right. Passim is my home planet along with many other people like us. Most people who have abilities like us live there. Passim has 12 sectors in total. Each sector is in charge of something. For example Sector 6 is agricultural; they grow all of Passim's food. Sector 7 is in charge of raising livestock for all of Passim and so on. Now the Power Ring is located in Sector 8. Sector 8 is in charge of energy, they provide all of Passim with electricity. The Power Ring is basically just the community for the ability enhanced. It's composed if all the people with abilities. Get it now?"
You nodded slowly as you attempted to grasp all she spoke of. You noticed she had a slight accent. It reminded you of the British accent with a mix of Australian.
"Ok... So there are more abilities then just Gazing and Traveling?" You asked curiously.
You could tell Lily was trying not to burst into another fit of laughter, "Uh huh."
"Like what?" You continued.
She took in a deep breath to calm herself and answered, "There are hundreds. Gazing and Traveling are the most common really while abilities that do more damage are rarer. I myself have a rare ability, I'm a Revealer. I can reveal lost memories and things forgotten. There are so many it'd take days to name off."
A banging on the door occurred and Lily stood up and pushed the tray for you to eat, "I'll be back tomorrow to answer more questions."
As she began to leave you jumped up and stopped her, "Wait!"
"What?" She asked.
"I have a lost memory I need to know. Can you help me?" You pleaded. You needed to know how you got here. To know if everyone else was alright.
"We'll see." Was Lily's cryptic answer and then she left leaving the only evidence of her visit which was the new found knowledge in your head.
