Sephiroth walks through the flames, his Masamune reflecting their light. His body is like a black shadow against it all

Zack follows Sephiroth... trying to keep him in view

Sephiroth heads up the path past the Mansion... heading for the reactor. Strolls into the reactor... his long silver hair whipping a little in the wind he creates from his travel

Cloud Strife groans and clambers to his feet... then trails after Sephiroth... quite angry

Sephiroth enters the pod room and looks around

Sephiroth says, "ahh... mother... I have come... please let me in"

Sephiroth lifts his arms up to the door of the core, awaiting it to be opened

Zack stands at the bottom of the steps... wondering what the hell Sephiroth is doing

Sephiroth walks into the core as the door opens and looks up at where Jenova is kept

Sephiroth says, "mother..."

Zack draws his sword and follows Sephiroth up into the core

Sephiroth starts to chuckle... though it sounds like a sob... his back to Zack

Sephiroth says, "Mother...."

Zack blinks

Sephiroth says, "don't worry mother... I'm here now...."

Sephiroth reaches out to the tube where Jenova is floating. Rests his gloved hand upon it.

Sephiroth says, "what?"

Sephiroth sits down on the upraised part, next to the tube

Zack blinks

Sephiroth hangs his head

Sephiroth says, "I understand..."

Sephiroth gets back up and looks down at Zack

Sephiroth says, "what are you doing here?"

Zack says, "I'm wondering the same thing. You just slaughtered an entire village now you're looking for a family reunion"

Sephiroth says, "Mother commanded it..."

Zack says, "All my momma ever told me to do that was bad was ta eat my vegetables. Your momma's a freak"

Sephiroth says, "my mother is superior to all"

Zack says, "Uh huh"

Sephiroth swings his Masamune

Zack says, "I bet my mom could kick your mom's ass"

Sephiroth says, "I do believe you are making me angry"

Zack says, "I mean... your mom's in a tube...."

Sephiroth swings down at Zack with anger... and therefore misses him cause the rage is blinding

Zack dodges easily and laughs

Sephiroth tumbles a little off-balance

Zack swings his sword at the im-balanced Sephiroth

Sephiroth gets hit in the chest by it and falls onto his back

Zack stands over Sephiroth and looks down

Zack says, "I made you angry... kawaii!"

Sephiroth says, "Grrr"

Sephiroth moves his hand to the hilt of the Masamune

Zack puts a boot on Sephiroth's chest

Sephiroth grits his teeth as his chest is cut

Zack says, "Now... you just killed a whole bunch of people.... Where you wanna go?"

Sephiroth says, "go?"

Zack points his sword into Sephiroth's face

Zack says, "Yeah.... "

Sephiroth looks at the sword... just resting his fingers on the hilt of his Masamune

Zack says, "I got you covered... heh... "

Cloud Strife staggers up into the reactor.... Still somewhat dazed

Sephiroth says, "Go where Zack?"

Zack says, "Ta hell I guess..."

Sephiroth curls his fingers around the hilt

Sephiroth says, "hell?"

Zack says, "The place where bad people go... like you..."

Sephiroth looks up at Zack, slowly lifting up his Masamune

Zack says, "But enough talk I guess... I'm gonna get in deep shit for killing Shinra elite Sephiroth... but eh... gotta do what you gotta do"

Sephiroth brings his Masamune up behind Zack

Zack swings his blade up.... Leaving himself rather unprotected

Sephiroth does a very bizarre maneuver and manages to impale Zack from behind as Zack swings

Zack says, "Gurk"

Sephiroth watches Zack's blood trickle onto his chest

Zack says, "Grah... damn...."

Sephiroth roles out form under Zack... letting go of the hilt

Zack falls over

Sephiroth steps on his back and takes back out the Masamune

Sephiroth says, "You should have killed me when you had the chance Zack..."

Zack opens his eyes wide... realizing he probably isn't gonna survive this one

Sephiroth leans down and whispers in Zack's ear

Sephiroth says, "couldn't bear to kill me?"

Sephiroth looks at the Masamune.... Dripping with Zack's blood

Zack chokes slightly

Sephiroth takes his foot off of Zack's back and kicks his sword away. Turns to look at Jenova

Sephiroth says, "mother..."

Sephiroth reaches out to her tube

Zack o O (Shit... did the guy know all along? Oww... this hurts.... )

Sephiroth closes his eyes, then turns to Zack again

Sephiroth says, "wha... what am I doing?"

Sephiroth looks at the blood on his Masamune

Zack gurgles

Sephiroth says, "dying?"

Zack o O (How the fuck am I supposed to answer?)

Sephiroth says, "pain?"

Zack o O (Aww... fuck you man... I can't talk you ass)

Sephiroth squats down by Zack... dropping his Masamune. Feels the wound on his own chest start to ache

Sephiroth says, "wha... what have I done?"

Sephiroth pulls the mortally wounded Zack onto his lap

Cloud Strife peeks into the core... and sees Zack bleeding all over the place with Sephiroth fiddling with him

Sephiroth closes his eyes, cradling Zack

Zack gurgles again... quite unhappy that his body isn't responding

Sephiroth strokes his covered fingers down Zack's cheek... leaving a bloody trail

Cloud Strife creeps into the core... wary of Sephiroth but wanting to be with his friend if he's dying

Sephiroth says, "what have I done? What did she have me do?"

Cloud Strife kneels beside Zack

Sephiroth closes his eyes tightly

Cloud Strife says, "You killed him... "

Zack is now quite dead... he went without a peep

Sephiroth says, "...."

Sephiroth sets Zack's body down then starts to walk out of the core

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth... wait...!"

Sephiroth goes to the catwalk and looks down into the reactor

Cloud Strife catches up to Sephiroth

Cloud Strife says, "You aren't gonna just leave him?"

Sephiroth says, "..."

Sephiroth closes his eyes again. Suddenly feels quiet strange... as if something is ripping him apart inside and takes a step forward

Cloud Strife says, "Seph!"

Sephiroth has no clue what is happening with his body cause suddenly his mind feels somewhere else entirely

Cloud Strife grabs for Sephiroth

Sephiroth hears some sort of splash faintly... then complete disorantaion

Cloud Strife grabs thin air as he watches Sephiroth plunge into the Mako below

Aeris Gainsborough runs over to the figure that fell into her flowerbed

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh... are you ok?"

Cloud Strife says, "uhh..."

Aeris Gainsborough looks down at him and blinks

Cloud Strife opens his eyes and groans

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh... you're awake"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles sweetly

Cloud Strife says, "Oww... fuck..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you landed on my flowers"

Aeris Gainsborough offers him a hand

Cloud Strife takes Aeris' hand

Aeris Gainsborough helps him to his feet

Aeris Gainsborough says, "how do you feel?"

Aeris Gainsborough looks him over

Aeris Gainsborough o O (he looks familiar....)

Cloud Strife says, "Oh I think Im okay..."

Cloud Strife checks himself over

Cloud Strife says, "Nothin broken"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "That's good"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles again

Aeris Gainsborough says, "heh heh, did you bye a flower from me?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah.... You're that flower girl I ran into "

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I pleased you remember me"

Aeris Gainsborough goes and tends to her flowers

Cloud Strife smiles slightly

Aeris Gainsborough stands up, dusting her pink dress off

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh... I just realized... we don't even know each other's names do we?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'm Aeris Gainsborough"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm Cloud... Cloud Strife"

Aeris Gainsborough blinks

Aeris Gainsborough o O (Cloud?)

Aeris Gainsborough gets an odd look

Cloud Strife says, "Something wrong?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "well... oh, it's nothing"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles again

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you're cute"

Cloud Strife says, "Everyone sez that... cept for who I want to say it"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh... you mean you have some one?"

Aeris Gainsborough looks a little disappointed

Cloud Strife says, "Naw... I don't"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles a little again

Aeris Gainsborough says, "well... that's nice to know"

Aeris Gainsborough goes back down... tending to her flowers

Aeris Gainsborough says, "say Cloud... have you ever been in SOLDIER?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah..."

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and stands back up

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what do you do now?"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm a mercenary... do a little of this and that"

Aeris Gainsborough glances at the door... noting that Reno has just entered

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Really? Have you ever been a bodyguard?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well no... But I'm sure I can learn"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "how about I pay you in exactly one date?"

Reno says, "don't mind me..."

Cloud Strife says, "Oh... sure...."

Cloud Strife looks at Reno

Aeris Gainsborough smiles again

Reno looks back

Cloud Strife says, "Umm..."

Reno takes a step forward

Cloud Strife blinks again

Aeris Gainsborough pulls on Cloud's arms

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on... out the back"

Cloud Strife says, "Alright..."

Reno rests his eyes on Cloud and Aeris

Cloud Strife nudges Aeris

Cloud Strife says, "Let's go"

Aeris Gainsborough practically drags him out the back

Reno says, "hmm...."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on Cloud..."

Aeris Gainsborough moves him up the crooked steps of the back

Cloud Strife says, "no need to be so forceful there"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "sorry"

Aeris Gainsborough lets go of his arm

Aeris Gainsborough says, "did you know who that was?"

Cloud Strife says, "No idea. I know he's one of those Turks"

Aeris Gainsborough nods. Continues to move... getting up out onto the roof

Aeris Gainsborough says, "heh... they're after me again"

Cloud Strife says, "Why so?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Not sure..."

Aeris Gainsborough starts to jump off the roof... and lands onto another fixture

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on"

Aeris Gainsborough waves him over

Cloud Strife follows Aeris

Cloud Strife says, "now what was I protection ya from anyway?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "The Turks... they are after me..."

Cloud Strife says, "Oh... really?"

Aeris Gainsborough nods

Cloud Strife says, "Those guys scout for Soldier... and do ShinRa's dirty business... which one are ya?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "don't know. Maybe they are trying to recruit me"

Aeris Gainsborough giggles

Cloud Strife says, "Why would they recruit you?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "maybe they think I have what it takes"

Cloud Strife says, "Heh heh... you got what it takes"

Cloud Strife flicks Aeris' nose

Aeris Gainsborough grins and jumps on ahead of him

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on... I want you to take me home"

Cloud Strife follows Aeris

Cloud Strife says, "Oh... wouldn't you rather come to my place... like I got one"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I have a nice place... you can come to mine"

Aeris Gainsborough gets out onto the street and waits for Cloud

Cloud Strife hops off the roof and stands next to Aeris

Cloud Strife says, "lead on"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and takes his arm. Drags him to her house and notes her adopted mom is gone

Cloud Strife says, "You live alone?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "no... mom's just out it seems"

Aeris Gainsborough sits him down at the table

Cloud Strife says, "Ah... well ain't the Turks gonna look here first?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "now... talk to me"

Cloud Strife says, "Bout what?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "no... they don't come here any more. anything... I want to hear your stories"

Cloud Strife says, "Well... I don't got much to tell really"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "like.. what did you do in SOLDIER?"

Cloud Strife says, "I killed stuff. I got to go on a mission with Sephiroth once... After that... I got bored and quit"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Sephiroth? Really?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah. He went bezerkers... jumped into the Mako in a reactor"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Jumped?"

Aeris Gainsborough leans on the table... her long hair spilling down her back

Cloud Strife says, "He sorta just walked off... He burnt down the town and stuff...."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh"

Cloud Strife says, "Killed the troopers that were with us.."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "What else happened?"

Cloud Strife shakes his head

Cloud Strife says, "It was rather upsetting... my mom died.... I musta gone into emotional shock after cuz I don't remember much"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "but you remember him falling?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah.. I grabbed for him. I missed.... and watched him fall"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "into the reactor? that would be fatal..."

Cloud Strife says, "Yep.. he looked kinda upset.. maybe over the guy he ran through. he's dead...no doubt about it"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "who did he run through?"

Aeris Gainsborough looks at Cloud

Cloud Strife gets one of his annoying white outs

Aeris Gainsborough says, "You can't remember?"

Aeris Gainsborough reaches over for him

Cloud Strife says, "Just some kid... "

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you can't remember his name?"

Cloud Strife says, "No.. I can't... "

Aeris Gainsborough places her hand on Cloud's hand

Aeris Gainsborough o O ( You mean Zack? What happened Cloud that you can't even remember Zack? )

Cloud Strife looks at Aeris.. and seems confused for a moment

Aeris Gainsborough hold his hand

Cloud Strife shakes his head

Cloud Strife says, "Does it matter?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "to his family...."

Aeris Gainsborough gets up out of her chair and walks to Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "well yeah... I can't even remember his name.... "

Cloud Strife gets frustrated

Aeris Gainsborough moves over and gently kisses Cloud's cheek

Cloud Strife looks a little surprised

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I feel as if I know you.."

Aeris Gainsborough o O ( which I do... sort of )

Cloud Strife says, "That's a little weird.. I only met ya when I bought that flower"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I suppose, but.. I fell as if I've met you before. do you feel that?"

Cloud Strife says, "Mebbe a lil"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "now.. you said there was some one you wished called you cute... who are they?"

Cloud Strife frowns

Cloud Strife says, "Well... He's a little dead.... so does it matter?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ohh... Sephiroth?"

Aeris Gainsborough gets a very odd grin

Cloud Strife says, "Oh.. great... Im so such a bad secret keeper"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "no.. everyone loved Sephiroth"

Aeris Gainsborough slips herself into Cloud's lap

Aeris Gainsborough says, "everyone wanted him..."

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah.. I guess so. Whatcha up to .... hmm?"

Cloud Strife puts his arms around Aeris

Aeris Gainsborough says, "just getting comfy"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles. slides her arms around him

Aeris Gainsborough says, "please don't think I'm usually this forward... I just fell I can talk to you and such. I fell like I know you"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah.. its weird"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I haven't had a boy friend for 5 years... and even then he wasn't a very serious one..."

Cloud Strife says, "Oh... what happened to him?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "He was in SOLDIER.... he just vanished. probably found another"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... yeah we are prone to that... what Rank was he?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "1st"

Cloud Strife says, "Really? What was his name? I prolly knew him"

Aeris Gainsborough sighs

Aeris Gainsborough says, "it's ok...."

Aeris Gainsborough kisses Cloud's other cheek

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... ?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "hey... I never asked... how did you come to crash into my church any way?"

Cloud Strife says, "I fell off of the platform way above... where the reactor was"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh? How?"

Cloud Strife says, "Explosion"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ohh, Where you with anyone?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah.... Tifa and Barret... they're prolly worried sick.... but they can wait..."

Aeris Gainsborough smiles a little and nestles in his lap

Aeris Gainsborough says, "So.. you were another who liked Sephiroth, huh?"

Cloud Strife says, "hmm... you got a crush on him?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "no.... just became interested"

Cloud Strife says, "Ahh...."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what made you interested? His looks? His charm? His prows in battle?"

Cloud Strife says, "Kinda all of it"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what about the man himself? His thoughts and feelings?"

Cloud Strife says, "He didn't talk much... kept to himself. I wanted to get to know him better... but well his job came before real life I guess"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "No one ever wanted him beyond his looks and his strength"

Cloud Strife says, "I did... just didn't have the guts to open my mouth"

Aeris Gainsborough leans her head on Cloud's shoulder

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I saw him as a very troubled young man who nobody actually cared about... just worship and followed.. and lusted after"

Cloud Strife says, "He was cute.. but I wanted to see beyond the outside...."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "one who finally snapped one day..."

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah.... "

Aeris Gainsborough kisses Cloud's neck and sighs

Aeris Gainsborough says, "It's to bad you never told him Cloud..."

Cloud Strife says, "I guess I shoulda told him... he wouldn't have gone nuts"

Aeris Gainsborough yawns

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'm tired"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... okay. Got a couch?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Got a spare room"

Aeris Gainsborough jumps off his lap and takes his hand

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on... I'll show up"

Cloud Strife was hoping she'd say something else

Cloud Strife says, "Alright"

Aeris Gainsborough leads him up stairs. shows him the spare room

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you can sleep here... unless you have a better idea"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles a little

Cloud Strife says, "Well..."

Aeris Gainsborough brushes her long brown hair back, her green eyes flashing

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm.... you got pretty green eyes.... like....."

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "well... I'll be in the next room if you need me"

Cloud Strife says, "Alright....."

Aeris Gainsborough slips off, giving him a knowing look

Cloud Strife sighs and sprawls out on the spare bed

Aeris Gainsborough goes into her room and waits for Cloud to fall asleep

Cloud Strife falls asleep almost immediately.... as he is often Apt to do

Aeris Gainsborough slips out of her room and climbs into the spar bed with Cloud. falls asleep... her arms around him. sleeps easily

Cloud Strife wakes up in the middle of the night to find Aeris with him... and sighs

Aeris Gainsborough has a smile on her face as she sleeps. wakes as morning roles around. kisses Cloud's ear

Cloud Strife wakes up and looks at Aeris

Cloud Strife says, "sleep well?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "around you? of course!"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... you ended up in my bed after all......"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you wanted me here?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... although normally girls just don't do anything for me... you're different though"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I know"

Cloud Strife sighs

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you ok?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well.. I gotta get back to my friends I guess"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "take me with you please... I want to get out and do something"

Aeris Gainsborough runs back to her room and gets her staff. comes back to Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "But it's dangerous"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "so? I don't mind"

Aeris Gainsborough hooks Cloud's arm

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on... let's go"

Cloud Strife says, "But....."

Aeris Gainsborough drags him out of her house... past her staring adopted mother... saying goodbye to her as she pulls him along

Cloud Strife says, "Yeesh... Aeris... slow down"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ok... where are your friends?"

Cloud Strife says, "Back in Sector 7 I think"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ok.. we'll go through the wall Market to get there"

Aeris Gainsborough leads him off

Cloud Strife says, "Alright"

Cloud Strife is thinking its weird to get drug around by a girl....

Aeris Gainsborough heads into the danger area. leads Cloud right into the Wall Market

Cloud Strife blinks

Aeris Gainsborough says, "this is it... ever been here before?"

Cloud Strife says, "No.. I haven't been in Midgar for very long"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh. Now... which way to sector 7..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "which way?"

Aeris Gainsborough thinks

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I forget, oh wait"

Aeris Gainsborough slaps her forehead

Aeris Gainsborough says, "silly girl... bringing a boy here. Sector 7 is back that way"

Aeris Gainsborough points the way they came

Aeris Gainsborough says, "unless you have a little bit of time"

Aeris Gainsborough looks at Cloud

Cloud Strife wiggles his nose

Aeris Gainsborough hooks his arm

Aeris Gainsborough says, "well... want to do some shopping or just go right back to your friends?"

Cloud Strife says, "I haven't had much time to just goof off... "

Aeris Gainsborough says, "do you have time?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... we weren't doing anything other than blowing up reactors"

Aeris Gainsborough giggles and kisses his cheek

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on then... let's see what we can do here"

Aeris Gainsborough drags him into the eatery

Aeris Gainsborough says, "mmm... this place is good"

Aeris Gainsborough sits down with him

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ohh ohh... sushi!"

Aeris Gainsborough pulls out some gil as she orders a platter

Cloud Strife orders something and picks at it

Aeris Gainsborough says, "mmm... good"

Cloud Strife is somewhat disturbed by Aeris' familiarity

Aeris Gainsborough gets a coupon and grins. Puts the coupon away and smiles at Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough says, "how's your meal?"

Cloud Strife says, "It was decent"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and stands up. Takes his arm

Aeris Gainsborough says, "let's go... I want to try something fun"

Aeris Gainsborough looks him over. Giggles to herself. Walks out with him and sees a cart pass with Tifa on back

Cloud Strife stops

Cloud Strife says, "Hey! That was Tifa"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "really? Let's go find out what's going on"

Aeris Gainsborough drags him off in the direction of the mansion. Lets go of him and talks to the guard, blushing as she does so

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ohh... just wait here... I've got a cute friend I want to bring"

Aeris Gainsborough gets Cloud's arm and drags him back to the rest of the Wall Market

Aeris Gainsborough says, "we need to get you a dress"

Cloud Strife says, "Huh?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "the only way to get in there and get Tifa. Don't worry... you'll look so cute!"

Aeris Gainsborough grins

Cloud Strife says, "Wait a sec!"

Aeris Gainsborough drags him into the dress shop. Speaks with the girl and frowns

Aeris Gainsborough says, "we have to go convince her father to come back to work or there will be no dress for you"

Cloud Strife says, "Umm... lets not and say we did"

Aeris Gainsborough pulls Cloud out of the shop and heads for the bar

Aeris Gainsborough says, "You'll look cute in a dress"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm already cute enough!"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I know"

Aeris Gainsborough drags Cloud into the bar and releases his arm to talk to the dressmaker. Calls back

Aeris Gainsborough says, "would you like silk or satin?"

Cloud Strife says, "NEITHER!"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ok... let's make it cotton"

Aeris Gainsborough goes back to talking with the guy then goes back to Cloud as he walks off

Aeris Gainsborough says, "he's going to make your dress Cloud"

Cloud Strife says, "Cotton.... no..."

Cloud Strife tries to sneak away

Aeris Gainsborough grabs his arm

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on... you need to rescue Tifa... right? Want me to do it by myself?"

Aeris Gainsborough puts her hands on her hips

Cloud Strife hangs his head

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you have to if you want to save her. Now... I'll go get the wig... wait at the dress shop... ok?"

Cloud Strife says, "Wig?"

Aeris Gainsborough nods

Aeris Gainsborough says, "so you look like a girl"

Cloud Strife is going to run as soon as Aeris leaves the shop

Aeris Gainsborough tells the shop owner not to let him leave. Kisses Cloud's cheek and walks out to get the wig. Comes back a few minutes later with a blonde wig and smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "here you go Cloud... did you see the dress?"

Cloud Strife didn't get a chance to escape!

Aeris Gainsborough pushes him into the dressing room

Aeris Gainsborough says, "get dressed Cloud... we have to hurry"

Aeris Gainsborough produces some makeup

Cloud Strife says, "How do I put this thing on?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'll put this on you after you are done"

Aeris Gainsborough reaches into the dressing room and helps him

Cloud Strife says, "Hey!"

Aeris Gainsborough giggles and turns her back

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you are cute"

Aeris Gainsborough waits for Cloud to finish dressing

Cloud Strife says, "You got cold hands!"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'm sorry"

Aeris Gainsborough walks over to the dress rack and starts to poke through it

Cloud Strife this thing is kinda comfy...

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and turns around to look at him

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ohh... you look sooo cute in that!"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles. Applies makeup to Cloud's face

Aeris Gainsborough says, "so... how do you feel... miss Strife?"

Cloud Strife says, "Umm..."

Aeris Gainsborough giggles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "hold on, I'm gonna get changed"

Aeris Gainsborough goes into the dressing room and changes into s bright red dress and fixes her hair so it just falls down her back... not tied up in any pattern. Walks back out and smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "how do I look?"

Cloud Strife says, "Wow... you look good"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Cloud Strife says, "Kinda like..."

Cloud Strife shuts up

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Let's go Cloud... we need to save Tifa"

Aeris Gainsborough manages to go in the front with Cloud and get to the basement where Tifa is. Smiles and waves to Tifa

Aeris Gainsborough says, "hello... we've come to help you"

Cloud Strife tries to stay quiet

Aeris Gainsborough talks with Tifa for a while about Cloud... giggling

Cloud Strife turns quite red

Aeris Gainsborough finally looks at Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Aww... he's turning red"

Aeris Gainsborough sees Tifa's reaction to that being Cloud there and giggles some more

Cloud Strife says, "Grrr.... quit it Aeris"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "sorry"

Aeris Gainsborough notes the guy telling them to hurry up and complies. Leads the other two up into the room with the Don guy. Watches Tifa get chosen and her and Cloud being led off

Cloud Strife says, "This was a dumb idea. Umm.... "

Cloud Strife jumps up on a table

Cloud Strife says, "Alright man.... This is getting on my nerves"

Cloud Strife tears off his dress... revealing his normal clothing

Cloud Strife jumps off the table and opens the door... hoping the guys stay back

Aeris Gainsborough whips her staff around at the guys and watches them tumble down

Aeris Gainsborough says, "heh heh, hi Cloud... let's go save Tifa"

Cloud Strife nods

Cloud Strife says, "Can I take this makeup off too?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "sure"

Aeris Gainsborough leads Cloud off to where Tifa is talking to the Don. Giggles as she helps Tifa harass him into talking

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'll smash it Don if you don't tell me what we want to know"

Cloud Strife blinks at Aeris' sudden violent streak

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh Gods... that's bad... we have to hurry"

Aeris Gainsborough starts to run off.... Stopped by the Don's sudden question

Cloud Strife says, "That's a dumb question..."

Aeris Gainsborough giggles then blinks as the floor beneath them opens up

Cloud Strife says, "Eeep"

Aeris Gainsborough tumbles into the sewer with Cloud and Tifa

Aeris Gainsborough says, "uhhhh...."

Aeris Gainsborough squirms

Cloud Strife says, "Shit... great place to be"

Aeris Gainsborough sits up

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what's that?"

Aeris Gainsborough points at the sea monster

Cloud Strife says, "Its not good...."

Aeris Gainsborough spins out her staff

Aeris Gainsborough says, "let's get moving"

Aeris Gainsborough hits her staff down on it... watching it scream in pain and nearly slip in half

Cloud Strife o O (Shit she's strong... almost... like.... him...)

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on"

Aeris Gainsborough grabs Cloud's arm and heads after Tifa... who's heading for the ladder

Cloud Strife says, "Uhh... yeah..."

Aeris Gainsborough gets out onto sector 7

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh no... They are trying to drop the plate"

Aeris Gainsborough talks to Tifa and nods

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud, you take care of this... I have to find Marlene"

Cloud Strife goes up to take care of the plate business...

Aeris Gainsborough lies down on her bed in the cell... looking over at Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Thanks for coming to my rescue"

Cloud Strife says, "Welcome... couldn't leave ya with them"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "to bad we are all trapped her... but we'll think of something. You want the bed too?"

Cloud Strife says, "I guess... who knows if we're gonna get outta here"

Aeris Gainsborough scoots over a little

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you want to talk to me?"

Cloud Strife sits on the bed

Aeris Gainsborough smiles at him

Cloud Strife says, "I like to talk to you... its kinda easier than talking to the others... They suspect me... for some reason."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "suspect?"

Cloud Strife says, "I dunno... Barret keeps saying I'm a ShinRa sympathizer.... Since I worked for them once"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what made you stop?"

Cloud Strife says, "Disillusioned with them... I can get more money working against them"

Aeris Gainsborough smile

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh... well that's good"

Aeris Gainsborough takes his hand and looks up at him

Cloud Strife looks at Aeris

Cloud Strife says, "How come it feels like I know you?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I don't know"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses his hand

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud... do you like flowers?"

Cloud Strife says, "a little... they are pretty... an you don't see em much around Midgar"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Do you like plays?"

Cloud Strife says, "Never been to one"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you're missing a whole lot. What about music?"

Aeris Gainsborough rubs his hand against her face

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud?"

Cloud Strife says, "You like me don't you... Im kinda dumb... but well... it's not like Im just noticing now"

Aeris Gainsborough o O (Dumb? odd... he's reminding me of Zack.... and stuff... this is odd)

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you're not dumb, and yes I like you"

Cloud Strife smiles

Aeris Gainsborough raps her arms around him and cuddles him. Smiles, closing her eyes

Cloud Strife says, "Mmm... Looks like Im gonna have to start a relationship... Tifa'll be pissed"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "awww.... "

Aeris Gainsborough cuddles him closer

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I would like that very much"

Cloud Strife says, "Same here... which is odd.... But I guess I just had to find the right girl"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "maybe you have now"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and puts her head on his shoulder. Kisses his cheek and falls asleep

Cloud Strife falls asleep as well

Aeris Gainsborough wakes up before Cloud the next morning and blinks at the open door

Aeris Gainsborough gently shakes Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "Uhh?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "look..."

Cloud Strife opens his eyes

Aeris Gainsborough says, "the door..."

Aeris Gainsborough notices the blood near it

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh my..."

Cloud Strife slips off of the bed and peeks out the door

Aeris Gainsborough sits up on the bed

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud... what happened?"

Cloud Strife says, "No clue... but the guard appears to be dead"

Aeris Gainsborough gets down from the bed. Looks at the guard

Aeris Gainsborough says, "...who killed him?"

Cloud Strife says, "No clue"

Cloud Strife searches the body

Aeris Gainsborough looks at the other cells. Opens them then walks back to Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "Looks like the weapon was long.... And thin.... Hmm...."

Aeris Gainsborough raises an eyebrow

Cloud Strife wrinkles his nose

Cloud Strife says, "C'mon"

Cloud Strife leads Aeris through the eerily silent building

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud? Look at the blood"

Cloud Strife says, "There's like a trail of it..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "let's follow"

Aeris Gainsborough takes Cloud's arm and follows the trail of Blood

Cloud Strife walks up the stairs into the office

Cloud Strife says, "Kewl he's dead... but... that's Sephiroth's weapon"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "it's not possible...."

Cloud Strife says, "No... Sephiroth is dead.... It's just a real good hoax.... Right?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Has to be"

Cloud Strife examines the body and tries to pull the masamune out

Aeris Gainsborough walks to the body and puts her hands on the hilt

Aeris Gainsborough says, "my gods... it's real"

Aeris Gainsborough pulls the blade out of the body. Holds it in her hands

Aeris Gainsborough says, "this is the Masamune"

Cloud Strife says, "Hey... you're just holding that thing... like... "

Aeris Gainsborough puts the blade down

Rufus Shinra strolls into the office and grins at the dead body

Rufus Shinra says, "finally... the asshole is dead"

Cloud Strife pushes his jaw closed

Rufus Shinra looks at him

Rufus Shinra says, "who are you two?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'm a flower girl from the slums"

Cloud Strife says, "Cloud Strife... Ex soldier.... First class..."

Rufus Shinra says, "what a crew"

Rufus Shinra flicks his hair back

Rufus Shinra says, "it seems that Sephiroth was here"

Cloud Strife says, "He's dead"

Rufus Shinra says, "then how did the asshole die from the Masamune?"

Cloud Strife says, "No clue. But I saw Sephiroth die... saw him fall into the Mako... no way he coulda lived"

Rufus Shinra says, "still. Only Sephiroth could have used the Masamune"

Cloud Strife shakes his head

Cloud Strife says, "He can't be alive..."

Rufus Shinra says, "Anything is possible. Did you know he was an ancient?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "really? Cool"

Cloud Strife blinks

Cloud Strife says, "If he's alive...."

Rufus Shinra looks to Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud?"

Cloud Strife shakes his head

Aeris Gainsborough hooks Cloud's arm

Cloud Strife sighs

Rufus Shinra says, "where are you two going?"

Cloud Strife says, "To find him I guess"

Rufus Shinra says, "hmmm... that is what we must do now. Too, not now"

Aeris Gainsborough nods

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yes... most definitely"

Cloud Strife looks at Rufus and then at Aeris

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on Cloud"

Cloud Strife says, "Okay...."

Rufus Shinra walks out onto the roof

Aeris Gainsborough brings Cloud out of ShinRa tower and heads out of Midgar

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on... he has left... I can almost taste it"

Cloud Strife nods

Aeris Gainsborough says, "but.... Where to?"

Cloud Strife says, "No clue... lets head for Kalm... we can think about it there"

Aeris Gainsborough nods

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ok"

Cloud Strife feels a strange tugging at his soul... but ignores it...

Aeris Gainsborough puts her arm around him

Aeris Gainsborough says, "shall we go then?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and kisses his cheek

Cloud Strife says, "Aeris... I gotta say something"

Aeris Gainsborough what is it?

Cloud Strife says, "You... you.... Just ooze Sephiroth...its weird... your hair... your eyes... your tastes..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh...."

Aeris Gainsborough blushes a little

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you knew of Sephiroth's tastes?"

Cloud Strife says, "I.... Well... sorta... stalked him a lil..."

Aeris Gainsborough chuckles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ohh"

Cloud Strife says, "Even the way you stand sometimes...."

Cloud Strife shakes his head

Aeris Gainsborough says, "it's ok Cloud"

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "Now that he could be alive.... Its all weird for me..."

Aeris Gainsborough strokes her fingers through his hair as they walk to Kalm

Aeris Gainsborough says, "this is Kalm?"

Aeris Gainsborough looks around at the town

Cloud Strife says, "Yep... lets check into the inn... i feel funny. Just prolly system shock"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ok"

Aeris Gainsborough checks into an inn and sits on the bed

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud... tell me about Sephiroth..."

Cloud Strife says, "Well... from what little I learned about him from stalking"

Aeris Gainsborough looks up at him

Cloud Strife says, "He was smart.... Cute... all around cool guy...."

Aeris Gainsborough nods

Cloud Strife says, "he had similar tastes to yours.... Objects of art... plays... music... "

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what happened 5 years ago?"

Cloud Strife says, "We were on a routine mission... to repair a reactor. It was Sephiroth... me.... And two other guys...."

Aeris Gainsborough lays down and listens

Cloud Strife says, "Seph was actin kinda weird after we got there.... Said he felt like he'd been there before"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh"

Cloud Strife says, "we all turned in for the night.... Next morning we headed to the reactor. Lost one of our troopers on the way there when the bridge broke.... But we pressed on...."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "and what happened at the reactor?"

Cloud Strife says, "I fixed it... an he looked in one of these big pods that were there"

Aeris Gainsborough o O (you? no... that was Zack)

Aeris Gainsborough gets an odd look on her face

Cloud Strife says, "Mako compression pods... cept they had people in em.... Monsters... from Mako exposure... he flipped out"

Cloud Strife cocks his head at Aeris

Aeris Gainsborough says, "He flipped out?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah.... Screaming something about if that was how he was made and shit.... Said he wasn't normal"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "and then what?"

Cloud Strife says, "He sorta just went outta there in a huff... "

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh"

Cloud Strife says, "Found him in the basement of the mansion some time later"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what was he doing?"

Cloud Strife says, "Reading books.... There was a library down there... he stayed down there a couple of days... No food... no water... no sleep.... He told me to just leave him alone so I did...."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "that would be enough to drive some one mad"

Cloud Strife says, "I think that's what happened"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "and what did his insanity lead to?"

Cloud Strife says, "he started ranting about Jenova... his 'mother'. Then he burnt down my town... killed everyone.... Went on a rampage or something.... "

Aeris Gainsborough says, "They had Jenova in the ShinRa tower... I think she's gone now though. You said he died?"

Cloud Strife says, "He went up into the reactor... and one of the troopers musta attacked him... I found him holding the guy in his lap..."

Aeris Gainsborough o O (trooper? Damn Cloud... you are messed up... Zack was 1st class)

Aeris Gainsborough says, "How did the guy you can't remember die?"

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth ran him through"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh..."

Cloud Strife says, "but it looks like he got a slash in on him before he got hit himself"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Really? What did you do?"

Cloud Strife says, "I sorta went in there and asked him why..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "What did he say?"

Aeris Gainsborough plays with her hair... putting it back into a braided ponytail

Cloud Strife says, "he didn't say nothin... just left"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "then what happened?"

Cloud Strife says, "And proceeded to jump into the Mako"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh... so you think he was suicidal?"

Aeris Gainsborough o O (which was true...)

Cloud Strife says, "I don't know. I'm guessing he felt remorse for killing the guy"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what about your town?"

Cloud Strife says, "that too.... "

Cloud Strife sighs and hangs his head

Aeris Gainsborough puts her arms around Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough says, "so sad what insanity can do"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... but from what I understood it wasn't his fault. ShinRa did something to him... I think"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yes.... Poor guy... goes insane... kills a whole town... and sees nothing he can do other then start a new life by taking the one he had"

Cloud Strife says, "I shouldn't have left him alone in the basement. He called me a traitor..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "why?"

Cloud Strife says, "Something about him being the rightful heir to the planet"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh"

Cloud Strife says, "he lost it..."

Aeris Gainsborough nods and cuddles Cloud to her chest

Cloud Strife sighs and presses against Aeris

Aeris Gainsborough says, "think about it... no one ever loved him... he was bound to snap one day"

Cloud Strife says, "I wanted to love him.... But was afraid to say anything"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "why?"

Cloud Strife says, "I mean... what if he was a gay basher?"

Aeris Gainsborough chuckles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud... you said you stalked him..."

Cloud Strife says, "yeah... he didn't seem to take interest in either sex really..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "he was lonely... and he didn't want people after him just cause he was ultra cute"

Cloud Strife says, "I wanted to be with him.... Cuz I figured he could teach me how to be a little more... cultured"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "cultured is good. What did you know about him? Any of his past?"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses Cloud's cheek softly

Cloud Strife says, "not really... just that he didn't have a dad... that he knew of.... And his mom had died at birth"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "He was an orphan"

Aeris Gainsborough cuddles Cloud

Cloud Strife nods

Cloud Strife says, "I wish I had said something... so he wouldn't have been so lonely"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud... I don't think what we are up against is the real Sephiroth... just someone who wanted to be him and took his body after he wanted to die"

Cloud Strife says, "You sure?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Sounds right. Think about it... he felt remorse after what he did in Nibelheim... why would he kill more people?"

Cloud Strife says, "Then the real sephiroth is dead and happy...."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Reborn I'd say"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Cloud Strife says, "Hope he's happy"

Aeris Gainsborough closes her eyes as she holds Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yeah"

Cloud Strife says, "Just wish I coulda told him"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "It's ok Cloud"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses his cheek. Falls asleep, holding Cloud

Cloud Strife shakes Aeris gently

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and wakes up

Aeris Gainsborough says, "is it morning?"

Aeris Gainsborough gives Cloud a gently kiss

Cloud Strife smiles

Cloud Strife says, "I think we should head west"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ok"

Aeris Gainsborough gets up out of bed

Aeris Gainsborough says, "sleep well?"

Cloud Strife pulls on his boots

Cloud Strife says, "Of course"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I've slept well each time with you"

Cloud Strife says, "It's kinda scary... but its like we're meant to be"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Maybe we are"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him again

Cloud Strife says, "I would love to get to know you a little more intimately right now... but we have work to do"

Aeris Gainsborough nods

Aeris Gainsborough says, "that we do"

Aeris Gainsborough heads out of Kalm with him. Takes hold of his hand and smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Which we Cloud?"

Cloud Strife says, "west... "

Aeris Gainsborough holds his hand as they start to head west

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ohh... look... Chocobos!"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm...We can catch one and ride"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "we need lure materia though..."

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... There looks to be a ranch over there.... We can see if they have one"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ok"

Aeris Gainsborough walks into the ranch with him

Cloud Strife says, "Hey... look mebbe we can buy a Chocobo"

Cloud Strife yells WARK! Really loud.... Something stupid that prolly only Zack would do

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "maybe. Stay right here... I'll go find out"

Aeris Gainsborough walks into the ranch

Cloud Strife says, "wark wark wark wark"

Aeris Gainsborough comes back out a minute later with a piece of purple materia

Cloud Strife says, "Ooh...."

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and hands it to Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Chocobo Lure"

Cloud Strife says, "pretty..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "now we can try and get one"

Cloud Strife puts it over his eye and looks through it...

Cloud Strife says, "Its all purple"

Aeris Gainsborough giggles

Cloud Strife snicks it into one of the slots on his sword

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you're silly"

Cloud Strife says, "Well a little"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "that's ok"

Aeris Gainsborough goes out to the tracks with Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ohh.... There's a Chocobo"

Aeris Gainsborough feeds it some greens

Cloud Strife grabs for the Chocobo

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yeah! We got it!"

Aeris Gainsborough climbs onto the Chocobo and smiles at Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "Whoa there... hey... this is gonna be fun"

Cloud Strife climbs onto the Chocobo as well

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yep"

Cloud Strife says, "okay... whose driving"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "me"

Cloud Strife says, "Go for it then"

Aeris Gainsborough heads out across the swamps... avoiding the huge serpent, and gets to the cave

Cloud Strife rather likes being jolted against Aeris' back.... And wishes he didn't have to get off"

Aeris Gainsborough stops the Chocobo, leaning into Cloud's back and smiles

Cloud Strife says, "mmmm.... Hey... no fair... Im turned on and we got work to do..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "awww"

Cloud Strife kisses the back of Aeris' neck

Aeris Gainsborough smiles. Gets off the Chocobo and looks at Cloud. Leans on Cloud and smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "how much work do we have to do?"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... Well...."

Aeris Gainsborough kisses his cheek

Cloud Strife puts his arms around Aeris

Aeris Gainsborough slips her arms around Cloud. Kisses his lips softly

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... Think we have time for this?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Do you?"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm...Well... why not?"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and kisses him again

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I think so"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm"

Cloud Strife slips his hand into Aeris' vest...

Aeris Gainsborough smiles more and slips her hands up into the back of his shirt

Cloud Strife strokes his fingers where he can reach... seeking soft spots

Aeris Gainsborough quivers under his touch

Cloud Strife kisses Aeris... his fingers still searching

Aeris Gainsborough gently takes Cloud's shirt off and presses herself against his bare chest, her mouth taking his. Licks her tongue across his lips. Rubs her hands along Cloud's back. Looks up into Cloud's eyes

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud?"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm?"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and kisses his neck

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I think I'm in love with you"

Aeris Gainsborough lays her head on his chest

Cloud Strife smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "want to lay down?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well... I guess you're the closets thing to Sephiroth Im gonna get... you're so similar"

Aeris Gainsborough giggles

Cloud Strife says, "Sure... "

Aeris Gainsborough lays down and smiles up at him

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I feel like I can talk to you... connect with you... and that it isn't just lust"

Cloud Strife sits down with Aeris

Cloud Strife says, "Same here"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you are cute.... But it's more then that"

Aeris Gainsborough raps her arms around him and pulls him to her chest. Kisses him sweetly as she strokes her fingers through his hair

Cloud Strife Purrs"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "You know what is odd right now?"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmmm?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "You say I remind you of Sephiroth... and you remind me of my old boy friend"

Cloud Strife says, "Really? What was his name... you never told me"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "...Zack..."

Cloud Strife gets an odd look

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you ok?"

Cloud Strife blinks

Cloud Strife says, "..."

Aeris Gainsborough turns his face to hers and kisses him softly

Cloud Strife blinks again

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud?"

Aeris Gainsborough strokes her fingers gently through his hair

Cloud Strife says, "Did I fall asleep or something?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you just got a weird look"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Cloud Strife says, "I felt like I was someplace else for a sec there"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "You looked it"

Aeris Gainsborough cuddles him

Cloud Strife says, "Humph... weird stuff like that happens"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yep... no need to distract from fun"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him deeply and relaxes. Starts to slide her hand down his back. Slips her hands into the back of his pants. Kisses him deeper, loving the feel of Cloud's lips to hers. Looks up at Cloud as she lies on her back. Kisses him gently. Looks into Cloud's eyes

Cloud Strife says, "That name... you said... its weird"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ohh, why?"

Cloud Strife says, "I get these weird white outs from time to time... that kinda caused one"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I noticed"

Cloud Strife shrugs

Aeris Gainsborough runs her fingers along his back again. Kisses him deeply and slips her hands back into the back of his pants

Cloud Strife says, "Oh my...."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you like?"

Cloud Strife says, "Oh yeah"

Aeris Gainsborough starts to take his pants off... wondering why her dress is still on

Cloud Strife blinks

Cloud Strife says, "I'm not too good at this... seeing as... well... eh heh"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "neither am I Cloud... I'm making this up as I go along"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him again and smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "well... any ideas on your end?"

Cloud Strife says, "Umm... well yeah"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "really?"

Cloud Strife says, "Umm... winky sez yes but thinky sez we got work to do"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I know the felling. We can do work later and relax now"

Cloud Strife says, "Um..."

Cloud Strife Squirms

Aeris Gainsborough slips out of her dress and underwear

Cloud Strife says, "Ohh... who am I?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "You are Cloud... from Nibelheim"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... I know that"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him gently as she raps her legs around his waist

Aeris Gainsborough says, "really?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... and.... uncomfortable"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'm sorry... anything I can do?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well... I just..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "just?"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him deeply

Cloud Strife says, "Oh.... Im just not sure... what... to do"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "it's ok... go with how you feel. The answer will come"

Cloud Strife says, "I mean... well.... "

Cloud Strife blushes

Aeris Gainsborough says, "it's ok"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and grips him harder with her legs

Cloud Strife looks at Aeris

Aeris Gainsborough kisses his lips

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you get any ideas?"

Cloud Strife says, "Lots..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "go with them"

Aeris Gainsborough grins

Cloud Strife says, "Umm"

Cloud Strife begins to caress Aeris a bit confusedly

Aeris Gainsborough closes her eyes and sighs softly, arching her back a little... her hips hitting into his. Kisses Cloud deeply, her tongue probing his mouth. Caresses his back with one hand

Cloud Strife says, "Aeris... Im totally lost here"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "awww"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him again then flips him over so she's on top

Cloud Strife says, "You're quite skilled for someone who's never..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "really?"

Aeris Gainsborough holds her legs around him

Cloud Strife says, "yeah... I mean... I read magazines and stuff... mostly guy ones though... eh heh"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and kisses his chest gently

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I've never done this before"

Cloud Strife says, "You had to have watched tapes or something"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "true"

Aeris Gainsborough giggles, taking on of his hands and putting it on her breast

Cloud Strife says, "Umm... what's this?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "just play with it"

Aeris Gainsborough giggles

Cloud Strife says, "Play with it?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you'll figure it out"

Aeris Gainsborough leans down and kisses him

Cloud Strife pokes it and watches it jiggle

Cloud Strife says, "tee hee"

Aeris Gainsborough giggles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "nice"

Cloud Strife pinches it

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ooh"

Aeris Gainsborough grins. Reaches her hand down and begins to stroke his groin

Cloud Strife says, "If I stick a pin in it would it pop? Ohh..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "better not... that would hurt"

Cloud Strife says, "Why are there two?"

Aeris Gainsborough strokes him some more

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I have no idea... just how they are"

Cloud Strife says, "oh... geez..."

Aeris Gainsborough kisses down his chest

Aeris Gainsborough says, "it can be better"

Cloud Strife says, "How?"

Aeris Gainsborough rests her lips on the tip of his groin

Cloud Strife says, "Ohh... this... is... "

Aeris Gainsborough licks it gently

Cloud Strife says, "yi!"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "like that?"

Cloud Strife nods weakly

Aeris Gainsborough puts her hands around it as she gently licks the tip

Cloud Strife squeaks

Aeris Gainsborough continues to lick him

Cloud Strife moans softly

Cloud Strife says, "bweeeeeeeee"

Aeris Gainsborough sucks on him gently

Aeris Gainsborough looks at him

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you ok?"

Cloud Strife says, "Uhh...."

Cloud Strife gurgles

Aeris Gainsborough moves back and kisses his lips

Cloud Strife is being overloaded

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I can stop if you are uncomfortable"

Cloud Strife says, "Im just... eeeee"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "too much too soon?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah..."

Aeris Gainsborough lies on top of him

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'll cuddle you... how's that?"

Cloud Strife says, "Okay...."

Cloud Strife blinks dazedly

Aeris Gainsborough cuddles Cloud and smiles

Cloud Strife o O (Okay.... what are we doing Cloud?)

Aeris Gainsborough lays her head on his chest, holding him

Cloud Strife falls asleep

Aeris Gainsborough falls asleep as well. Wakes up as the sun hits her

Cloud Strife is still snoring... with a snot bubble creeping in and out of his nose

Aeris Gainsborough smiles at Cloud and kisses his lips

Cloud Strife says, "Uhh?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "good morning"

Cloud Strife says, "Do I have to go to school mommy?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "nope. We just have to find out what's going on'"

Aeris Gainsborough gets up and gets dressed

Cloud Strife blinks and sits up

Cloud Strife says, "Oh Yay... it must be a snow day"

Aeris Gainsborough hugs Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on... we got work to do now"

Cloud Strife stands up

Cloud Strife says, "Gotta shovel the walk?"

Aeris Gainsborough giggles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud... come now..."

Aeris Gainsborough shakes him gently

Aeris Gainsborough says, "look around"

Cloud Strife says, "Oh... I'm awake"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him and smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "get dressed"

Cloud Strife blinks

Cloud Strife says, "Im naked?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yeah"

Cloud Strife grabs his clothes and dresses hastily

Aeris Gainsborough says, "let's go"

Cloud Strife says, "My pants are on backwards..."

Aeris Gainsborough heads into the caves

Cloud Strife shrugs. Follows Aeris.... Walking funny

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Aww... turn your pants around"

Cloud Strife fixes his pants

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and looks around the caves

Cloud Strife sneezes

Aeris Gainsborough says, "some one has been here recently"

Cloud Strife nods

Aeris Gainsborough walks through the caves with him

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud...."

Cloud Strife says, "Huh?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you are not well... I think something is wrong with you"

Cloud Strife says, "Oh?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "want me to help?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well... my pants are okay.... Don't tell me I put my shoes on the wrong feet.... "

Cloud Strife looks down

Aeris Gainsborough touches his head

Cloud Strife blinks

Aeris Gainsborough says, "your mind"

Cloud Strife says, "My mind?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yes"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him

Cloud Strife says, "What's wrong with it?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "It's a little messed up"

Cloud Strife says, "oh? How so?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'll get you help for it. You remember the wrong things. And oddly you act like Zack... you should act like yourself"

Cloud Strife says, "But this is myself? How am I supposed to act?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you'll find out"

Cloud Strife says, "Oh I hate surprises"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him

Cloud Strife says, "But not those"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "just need to get you to the life stream I think"

Cloud Strife says, "Life stream? An anyway... how do you know Im not actin like myself? We only just met"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "long story... Cloud... "
