Why this must be read:
The time between the destruction of Nibelheim and the reunion with Cloud in Tifa's life has been largely untouched by canon, which makes it a great breeding ground for some gen fic. Though short in length, this is an excellent study of young Tifa who adapts to and carves a new life in Midgar, becoming friends with Barret and Marlene on the way. The family unit of Barret, Tifa and Marlene is a rare sight in fanfic and it's given all the warmth and hope it deserves in this story.
They got a stipend for taking care of her, but it didn't come in till the end of the first month, so they took her to a store to buy her secondhand clothes. It wasn't that the clothes were bad, but at school it was really obvious they were secondhand, and she didn't look like anybody else. None of the girls would talk to her; the boys would but she soon learned she didn't want to talk to them at all. She cut class one day, after about a month of never speaking at school and barely speaking at the place she had to call home for want of a better word. She was scared to death and sure something awful would happen, but she was lost in her classes anyway and she didn't have a book report ready, so she rode the train to the department stores on the inner plate, tall, tall buildings with rotating doors. It looked like the movies, all of it, even the trains, and she was so excited she forgot to worry about anyone finding out she'd skipped school.
