A/N: Listen up, people. This is going to be the third drabble series spin off of An Enchanted Moment, the other two being Wrecked on Pop-Tarts and Sex and Mangoes and Limes. In other words, all characters, situations, pairings, etc, are all taking place in the AEM universe…which just so happens to be AU. And I'm posting this now, because why not. For now, swamped with school as I am, updates will at least occur by the end of every week.

As for this story in particular, it is a response to Reku14's 100 Theme Challenge, each being a hundred words in length. Note that all of the pairings and chapters of this story are predetermined. It is our belief (mine, Ghostwriter, and owlpostagain's) that every reader of the An Enchanted Moment universe will find at least ONE pairing that they like, because we have it all: het, yaoi, yuri, and every possible Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, and Disney pairings and crosses that you can possibly imagine. Beats in Time will focus on different character relationships in the AEM universe with each new prompt/chapter. Note that some characters will "repeat", as they are involved in more than one pairing, and also further note that the chapters will not progress in chronological order.

Please review! And if you have any questions about the AEM universe, or anything else, feel free to ask! But no, I will not tell you what the 'secret pairing' is that I mention below that I infected Ghostwriter's brain with. And it'll be a secret until if we decide to reveal it within the An Enchanted Moment story proper.

Warnings: Swear words and an equation on how not to be a good daughter.

Character/Pairing: Lucrecia Crescent, Final Fantasy VII

Dedication: To Ghostwriter, for allowing me to infect her brain with the secret pairing.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Disney, or anything else familiar that appears within the story. The challenge, as previously stated, was thought up by Reku14. Ghostwriter is the co-creator of the An Enchanted Moment universe, and owlpostagain claims credit in the inspiration process, and as the Official Beta. The title and lyrics are taken from Elton John's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight".

Beats in Time

Prompt 1: Good

There's something to be said about growing up as the only daughter of a priestess of Yevon. Lucrecia's professional opinion was that it pissed her the fuck off.

There was no room for science in a world where the only thing of consequence was devoutness to religion. No room for science, no room for Lucrecia either.

Her equation was incomplete though. She knew that her parents wouldn't let go of her, wouldn't just allow her to leave. She had to make them.

Getting drunk and having sex with a random stranger—blond, with red eyeliner—seemed like a viable solution.
