Seifer Almasy is asleep cuddled up on Squall.

Aeris Gainsborough wakes up and shakes Cloud a little.

Cloud Strife says, "Ohh... what?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Rufus is dead."

Seifer Almasy says, "zzzzzz."

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I can feel it."

Aeris Gainsborough stands up from the bed.

Cloud Strife says, "That’s a good thing though."

Zack is asleep in the flowers, wingless, tailless... pouch less... looking no more then a human.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yes it is... but... oh well. I suppose I can't explain it yet."

Seifer Almasy snuggles more against Squall, the infant stirring in his pouch.

Cloud Strife sits up.

Squall Leonhart opens his eyes and yawns.

Seifer Almasy says, "zzzzzzzz."

Squall Leonhart pokes Seifer.

Seifer Almasy opens an eye.

Seifer Almasy says, "mmm?"

Squall Leonhart says, "morning."

Seifer Almasy says, "Oh, it is?"

Seifer Almasy yawns and stretches out.

Squall Leonhart says, "yea."

Squall Leonhart stretches.

Seifer Almasy says, "Where's Zack?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well then that just means I don’t have to bother killing him."

Squall Leonhart says, "Asleep somewhere... probably dreaming of being happy."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "You were going to kill him?"

Cloud Strife says, "I was gonna have to."

Seifer Almasy says, "Wasn’t he going to the Promised Land?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "why?"

Squall Leonhart says, "Oh... yeah I forgot."

Zack looks fully human, and fast asleep... naked.

Squall Leonhart says, "He's probably still there."

Seifer Almasy says, "Ah, he's ALWAYS daydreaming. Why he do that?"

Cloud Strife says, "Cuz he was evil."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "true."

Aeris Gainsborough pulls her tail around him and kisses him softly.

Squall Leonhart says, "He probably is up there asleep in the snow...  waiting for Rufus... because of his dream."

Seifer Almasy says, "oh yeah. That weird thing."

Seifer Almasy cuddles into Squall.

Seifer Almasy says, "You are so nice and warm."

Squall Leonhart says, "Yeah... I am aren’t I.. its weird you aren’t trying to hurt me."

Cloud Strife stands up.

Seifer Almasy says, "oh."

Cloud Strife says, "I’m gonna go wander....    Now that Rufus is dead... we can start a family ... if you want."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Alright love."

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and kisses him.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I want a family.. I took care of Leno for a while but I've wanted a child of my own. And I nursed Seifer... heheh."

Cloud Strife says, "Seifer is a little monster....  still."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Is he?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... he was spoiled too much... too much like his dad."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ok. I'll go watch him then."

Aeris Gainsborough goes over to Seifer and Squall.

Cloud Strife goes out to wander the garden.

Zack is still asleep.

Cloud Strife comes upon Zack and stops... startled

Cloud Strife says, "wha?"

Zack says, "zzzzzz."

Seifer Almasy lays his head on Squall's chest.

Seifer Almasy says, "I feel better then I ever have before."

Cloud Strife says, "Where.... where’s his wings?"

Zack curls up cause he's cold.

Zack says, "zzzz."

Cloud Strife prods Zack with his foot.

Zack says, "uh?"

Cloud Strife says, "Aeris!"

Zack opens an eye and finds he's in the garden.

Aeris Gainsborough is too far away to hear Cloud.

Zack says, "what the? How did I get here?"

Cloud Strife says, "Zack.... what happened?"

Zack says, "I think I died... wait a minute... I'm missing stuff."

Zack finds that his wings, tail, and pouch are gone and let's out a shrill cry.

Zack says, "What the fuck is going on?? Oh my, it's just like the dream I had..."

Cloud Strife says, "You’re not bleeding or anything."

Zack says, "no... It's just like Rufus in my dream... the catty one waved at the evil one and made him full human.. gods..."

Cloud Strife says, "Please explain."

Zack says, "um, I don't know!"

Zack raps his arms around his legs and curls into a ball.,

Cloud Strife picks Zack up and takes him back to where Aeris and the others are.

Aeris Gainsborough looks at Cloud and blinks.

Seifer Almasy looks up and his jaw drops.

Seifer Almasy says, "what the fuck?"

Cloud Strife says, "Its not dinner... that’s for sure."

Cloud Strife sets Zack down.

Squall Leonhart blinks.

Seifer Almasy says, "wha??"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh my..."

Zack shakes, unsure of what's going on.

Cloud Strife says, "Get him a blanket or something."

Aeris Gainsborough goes and gets a blanket.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "there."

Zack raps up in the blanket.

Squall Leonhart says, "He's making me hungry...  when was the last time I fed?"

Seifer Almasy says, "I don't know... I'm hungry too."

Cloud Strife says, "No eating Zack."

Seifer Almasy says, "What the fuck happened to him??"

Aeris Gainsborough sits down.

Cloud Strife says, "He's lost all his... things... pouch... tail... wings."

Seifer Almasy says, "how the fuck?"

Zack says, "I have no clue."

Zack sniffles.

Cloud Strife says, "Did they fall off?"

Zack says, "no wear to fall... I think I died and came back... it was all so strange."

Squall Leonhart says, "Died?"

Zack says, "yeah... up in the Promised Land."

Squall Leonhart says, "So you did make it there..... was Rufus there?"

Zack says, "I think it was him."

Zack scratches his head.

Seifer Almasy says, "What's going on?"

Squall Leonhart says, "Think it was him?"

Zack says, "yes, the catty thing in my dream."

Squall Leonhart says, "Catty thing?"

Zack says, "yes. An Alien... what happens when you take the human part away from the hybrids."

Zack thinks about what he said.

Zack says, "oh my..."

Squall Leonhart says, "Hybrids?  Is that what we are?"

Zack lies down and starts to cry.

Aeris Gainsborough nods.

Cloud Strife says, "Zack.... c'mon... what’s wrong?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Yes Squall. Though less and less human by generation."

Zack says, "Why am I the human half?"

Cloud Strife says, "Wait.... who’s the other half?"

Zack says, "other half?"

Cloud Strife says, "You’re human... so... there’s ... the winged half running around too right?"

Zack says, "I suppose..."

Seifer Almasy says, "Woah."

Seifer Almasy snuggles into Squall, rubbing his pouch.

Squall Leonhart purrs softly.

Zack says, "This is all so strange."

Squall Leonhart says, "So are you still my dad?"

Zack says, "I .. think so... am I?"

Squall Leonhart says, "I think you are.. that’s all that matters."

Zack smiles a little.

Aeris Gainsborough giggles and gets up.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Sephiroth killed his human half, knowing it would come back and kill us all if let loose."

Cloud Strife says, "So... his human half was evil or something? So why isn’t Zack's human half evil?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "It was possessed by Jenova's evil. As for Zack, I don't know."

Zack says, "You think I'm evil??"

Cloud Strife says, "Maybe..."

Zack says, "why?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well... Sephiroth's human half was evil... from what you say Rufus' was as well."

Zack says, "but what about the rest of us?"

Cloud Strife says, "Don’t know."

Zack sits back up, rapped in the blanket.

Zack says, "I think I'll just go off and be a mercenary now."

Squall Leonhart says, "You don’t want to stay with us Dad?"

Zack says, "I'm not even like you any more."

Squall Leonhart says, "But you’re still part of my family... you have a grandchild... two of them really."

Zack says, "I know..."

Zack sighs.

Zack says, "but, look at me, I'm human now..."

Seifer Almasy cuddles against Squall, sighing.

Squall Leonhart says, "Well if you’re going to go... you have to come back and visit."

Zack says, "I will. there is so much chaos around... I need to turn my fat back into muscle... I'll be the muscle bound moron I use to be."

Squall Leonhart says, "You’re not a moron..."

Zack says, "yeah I am. I should have been a better dad."

Squall Leonhart says, "You were a better dad..... then him..."

Zack stands up, rapped in the blanket.

Zack says, "How so?"

Seifer Almasy says, "but he wasn't your dad Squall..."

Squall Leonhart says, "He still ended up raising me..."

Zack says, "My point Squall. I should have done better."

Squall Leonhart says, "I still love you... and want you to visit.. and be careful..."

Zack says, "I will visit. Um, I need some clothing."

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... I’m not sure if you'll fit into any of mine..... and they have wing slits..."

Zack sighs. drops the blanket and looks down at his belly, sad cause there is no pouch there.

Zack says, "I feel depressed though."

Squall Leonhart goes over to Zack and hugs him.

Squall Leonhart says, "I can go steal you some clothes."

Zack hugs his son.

Zack says, "Thanks Squall."

Squall Leonhart says, "I'll be back shortly."

Aeris Gainsborough drags Cloud off into another part of the garden and kisses him.

Seifer Almasy says, "be careful."

Squall Leonhart kisses Seifer on the forehead and bounds off to get his father some clothes.

Seifer Almasy smiles and watches Squall leave.

Cloud Strife says, "Mmm..  you’re a little direct today..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yes, I know. I think I have to be, I can feel something in the planet."

Cloud Strife says, "Oh?  What is it you feel?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'm not sure, I just feel like now might be a good time."

Cloud Strife says, "Alright then. I’m a little rusty though."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "It's ok. Do I have to get you more into the mood?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yes... I think so."

Aeris Gainsborough lets out a small amount of pheromones.

Cloud Strife closes his eyes and smiles.

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him softly and rubs her hands along his body.

Cloud Strife returns the gentle caresses... trying to get himself more into the mood.

Aeris Gainsborough pulls him down to the bed and kisses him deeply, running her hands along his wings.

Cloud Strife begins to purr softly... finally beginning to feel aroused.

Cloud Strife says, "Why don’t we get rid of these clothes?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "sure."

Aeris Gainsborough takes off hers and kisses Cloud again.

Cloud Strife removes his own clothing and looks down at Aeris.

Aeris Gainsborough smiles at Cloud.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I love you."

Cloud Strife says, "I love you too...  you’ve waited for me all these years... and aren’t too mad at me."

Cloud Strife tickles along her wings, moving his fingers where the wing joins the back.

Aeris Gainsborough purrs loudly and does the same to him.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Yes, I waited."

Squall Leonhart grins.

Cloud Strife says, "I gotta keep my promise now... but forgive me if I seem clumsy... I’ve been out of commission for a while."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "It's ok love."

Aeris Gainsborough kisses his neck softly and pulls her tail around him.

Cloud Strife says, "Not that I don’t want to keep my promise...  I don’t want you to think Im doing this out of duty."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "out of love I hope."

Cloud Strife nuzzles at Aeris' neck and begins a slow line of kisses along  her collar.

Cloud Strife says, "Of course."

Aeris Gainsborough purrs and smiles, moving her hands down his pouch.

Cloud Strife licks down along Aeris' chest... stopping for a moment to tease a nipple with his tongue. He moans softly.

Aeris Gainsborough licks his neck as she strokes.

Cloud Strife says, "Ohh... I’m ready now... mmm."

Aeris Gainsborough pulls her legs around him and takes her hands away.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Then go for it love."

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him deeply.

Cloud Strife quickly positions himself and buries himself deeply into Aeris... nipping at her neck as he does so.

Aeris Gainsborough moans and purrs very loudly, moving her hands to caresses his wings.

Cloud Strife begins to thrust.. using his wings to add a little extra oomph to each push.

Aeris Gainsborough breathes heavily, moaning.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ohh.. Cloud!"

Cloud Strife growls softly and thrusts deeply... building up to his climax rather quickly.

Aeris Gainsborough clutches him tightly, roaring in pleasure.

Cloud Strife gives one last deep thrust... and releases his warm seed into Aeris.... sighing in pleasure.

Aeris Gainsborough pulls her wings around him.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "That felt so good."

Aeris Gainsborough kisses his cheek.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "well worth the 18 year wait."

Cloud Strife says, "Yes... it did... Mmm... I love you..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I love you too Cloud."

Aeris Gainsborough smiles at him.

Squall Leonhart returns with an armload of clothes for his father.

Zack smiles.

Zack says, "Thanks son."

Zack takes the clothing and smiles.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "You think I'm pregnant yet?"

Cloud Strife says, "Gee I kinda hope not. I wanna do that again."

Cloud Strife grins.

Aeris Gainsborough chuckles.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Well, we have to be sure right?"

Cloud Strife says, "Of course.... "

Aeris Gainsborough cuddles him in her wings.

Cloud Strife makes himself comfortable.

Squall Leonhart says, "Gee... I hope they fit."

Seifer Almasy goes over to Squall.

Zack puts them on and grins.

Zack says, "They do, thanks!"

Squall Leonhart says, "Oh... yeah."

Squall Leonhart offers his father his blade.

Zack says, "your blade?"

Squall Leonhart says, "You don’t have anything...."

Seifer Almasy hugs Squall gently.

Zack takes it.

Zack says, "thank you."

Aeris Gainsborough falls asleep with Cloud.

Squall Leonhart says, "It works as a gun and a blade. You can pull the trigger... and slash... do both for extra ouches."

Zack says, "I know... and there are only two like it..."

Seifer Almasy says, "I have the other one... take care of that one Zack."

Zack hugs his son.

Squall Leonhart says, "Take care dad."

Zack says, "you too Squall."

Cloud Strife purrs softly in his sleep.

Seifer Almasy hugs Squall, watching Zack leave.

Squall Leonhart says, "I hope he'll be okay."

Zack waves as he walks out of the garden.

Seifer Almasy says, "me too."

Seifer Almasy kisses his cheek.

Squall Leonhart says, "I’m sure he will be..  he's a warrior... "

Seifer Almasy nuzzles his neck.

Seifer Almasy says, "yeah, but he let everyone shit on him for 18 years."

Squall Leonhart says, "He loved Rufus..."

Seifer Almasy says, "yeah... we all did... well... other then you and Elena I think.."

Squall Leonhart says, "Yeah...  I think he wasn’t that bad though before. Before the city was destroyed and all."

Seifer Almasy says, "You remember before?"

Squall Leonhart says, "Ever so vaguely."

Seifer Almasy says, "What do you remember?"

Squall Leonhart says, "He did nurse me.... so I had an odd bond to him..."

Seifer Almasy says, "I suppose. I don't remember much before that... other then something about Zack and water."

Squall Leonhart says, "bad memory?"

Seifer Almasy says, "What do you mean? What do you remember?"

Squall Leonhart says, "I remember him taking me out of a cold place and making me warm..."

Seifer Almasy says, "cold place?"

Seifer Almasy cocks his head.

Seifer Almasy says, "When was that?"

Squall Leonhart says, "He wasn’t bad... at the beginning... you... on the other hand was always picking fights with me."

Seifer Almasy says, "me? Wasn't that you?"

Squall Leonhart says, "I did on occasion... yes."

Seifer Almasy says, "oh."

Seifer Almasy sits down.

Seifer Almasy says, "Squall, where do you think the 'human' half is?"

Squall Leonhart says, "Rufus'?"

Seifer Almasy says, "yes."

Squall Leonhart says, "Don’t know......  but... Zack might be in trouble... it might hurt him."

Seifer Almasy says, "it?"

Seifer Almasy yawns and rubs his pouch.

Squall Leonhart says, "How is the little one?"

Seifer Almasy says, "Our child is good. feeding and squirming like usual."

Seifer Almasy smiles.

Squall Leonhart says, "Just wait until its out of there... it'll be a real little monster..."

Seifer Almasy says, "Will it?"

Squall Leonhart says, "Dad always told me about how we were little monsters.... we broke a lot of things."

Seifer Almasy says, "yeah... we! That was US Squall. Heh."

Squall Leonhart says, "we haven’t named it... you know"

Seifer Almasy says, "I know. What shall we call our child?"

Squall Leonhart says, "Not sure."

Seifer Almasy rubs his pouch and smiles.

Squall Leonhart says, "Hmm."

Seifer Almasy says, "What's a good name?"

Squall Leonhart says, "Don’t know."

Seifer Almasy says, "hmmm...... I can't think of anything!"

Squall Leonhart says, "Something... ... I don’t know."

Seifer Almasy says, "What? We gonna call our child something?"

Squall Leonhart says, "Geez..  we could name him... umm.... dirt?"

Seifer Almasy laughs.

Seifer Almasy says, "nah, not good."
