Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cloud stared at her questioningly. Why was she hestitateing on takeing the potion that would heal her wonds? Cloud sighed,shakeing his head before reaching out and takeing the bottle. He took out the cork that kept the liquid inside before handing it back to her. It appeared he wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"You dont deserve it? Tifa..Why in the world would you thi--" He stopped in mid sentence as his question was answerd for him before he had a chance to finish it. "...Tifa, This was not your fault at all." A small frown crossed his face as he looked into those deep brown eyes. "Jenova is getting...stronger it seems. Everyone thought she was finished but...Our enemys always seem to find some way to come back. Nothing was your fault, Please trust me..If its anyone that diserves to suffer its me. After...everything.." Sighs, he didn't want to think of it again.He just wished they could both erase everything that happend from there mind somehow.


(( And this is the end of my Roleplaying as Cloud! ))

Yuffie sat inside the submarine at the gold saucer.She just loved this game! It was so intense.You just never knew when something was going to come up and shoot you down.Inside the small game room, there was a mixture of music and sounds,but the most that stood out was probably Yuffies constent screaming of excitement, or anger when she got hit.


"AH! NOO! Your going to pay for that! " She moved the joystick down,to lower the sub before pushing the only red butten upon it."FIRE! BOOM. Your so dead!" She giggled happyly, watching as the pixelated sub sunk to the bottem.She continued to search for more enemy subs in the area,when...

"HEY! No! not fair! I didn't see that! Cheat! " Her sub exploded into a mass of nothing-ness. She seemed to have run into a mine.


Meanwhile, Aerith watched the young ninja in small form of amusement. Yuffie was so embarrising sometimes, She would take a game so seriously. But she was overly load when playing them. A few people had turned to look at the screaming hyperactive ninja in a fake sub.Sighing softly, the young women coverd up a giggle as she turned to walk over to the moogle game Ariel was playing. At the current moment, she felt as though she had two kids to watch after.Sadly Ariel was much more mature then the 19 year old Yuffie Kisaragi.

Earlyer she had played the Toy Catcher game for about 10 minutes, she had won a few plush toys and gave them to Ariel of course. Her favorite one being a large Moogle plushie that from now on, she would probably take with her just about everywhere.Aeriths only reason for being here was to give Cloud and Tifa some space, some time to talk and work things out, Aerith was concerned for Tifa, and hoped her friend would over come everything. She missed her, dispite what she might of thought! Her other reason for comeing here was to let Ariel play,and keep her mind off of what was going on back in Midgar. She was safe here, wasn't she?

"Okay! Next game! Where can we go next?" The young girl glanced up at her other questioningly, Giving her an all to cute innocent grin before running over to Yuffie.

"You lost, didn't you? Your suposed to stay -out- of the mines, Silly!" This comeing from a six year old, would highly embarrise Yuffie. So instead of sticking around, she ran and hid behind Aerith with a quiet laugh.

The young brunette did not remove her gaze from the harsh concrete ground as the ex-Soldier placed his gloved hands upon her shoulders. Her eyes were fixed upon the pavement, her ears listening in on his every word. Her expression turned serious, were his words true? Did he really...feel that way? Or was he just saying this to make her feel better? Her dazzling brown eyes slowly glanced upwards at Cloud, her eyes searching for the answer deep within his icy blue orbs, flecks of mako scattered within them. Within his eyes she saw honesty, along with deep regret for what he had done to her. His eyes twinkled with a desire for her friendship... but not her love. No, never her love. It didn't belong with him. His heart was grasped onto tightly by the Flower Girl, and there was no way that she could possibly stand up against that. She was to stand alone, apparently. She would never be able to love and have the same strong emotion relayed back to her..

"I...might not feel the same way you do..." he said. Tifa flinched slightly at this, grimacing at those words. Oh did he really have to say that? Again? She felt her heart slowly sink away once more, her expression slowly beginning to melt into that downcast face once more. She tried desprately to hide this by forcing a smile as best she could, but to no avail. As soon as she smiled, it began to slowly fade as she said, "Oh, I know... I know that well.." Of course she did, he said it twice. In one day. A new record.

A part of her heart began to show small signs of forgiveness as he gave her that innocent smile. Ah, that smile. It always got to her every time. Very gradually, a weak smile was cast upon her face in reply to his. Even though she was broken up on the inside, she believed that she had expressed her point. She could go on for centuries, telling the world how much she deeply cared for and admired the young man. But no one would care. It was far too late now. Cloud's love had already flown away, gone off into the distance to join his real true love.. This thought elicted a mere shudder from the woman as she glanced off to the side, her hair falling infront of her eyes as she decided to try not to think about the matter. What a difficult challenge it would prove to be...

Reno smirked, he was staying next door to the girls, and he relaxed in his room, as he'd been following them all day.

Cody climbed out of the corner Vincent had dumped him in before setting out..as he walked out, walking the streets....his katana was missing....he had no idea where it was...he frowned, hoping to find his way to someone who could help him....at least he was back in his Turk uniform...the red band of Shinra on his right arm quite prominent....

Vincent crouched on top of the Number four mako reactor, he frowned as he walked out to stare at the remains of the mighty Neo Diamond weapon, shaking his head. " God damn....WEAPON has returned...then...Jenova has awakened....again...damn you Hojo...Damn you...may you burn in hell for your crimes...."


Duo grinned, "So, now that you've seen all there is to see here in Midgar...you should meet the crew...they could sure use your help..." He nodded to Yuna, as he leaned back against the building, shrugging lightly.

Kaizer stood silently in the hallway of rooms as he waited for Yuffie to come around. He had given the others time off so they could go enjoy themselves being they worked the hardest out of the crew when it came to missions. Lifting his glasses, his rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked around. Nothing. He had given Aerith a polite nod as she went to her room before he kicked off the wall and spoke to the ninja girl who arrived.

"Yuffie, mind if I ask if you are doing alright?"

Said the captain as he stratched at the side of his face. He was hired to find her and make sure she was alright. He didn't have any intention of taking her back if she just wanted to have some fun. Raising a brow, he saw one of the clerks leaving the hotel as he shouted back to the other about 'A Fight On Top of the Gondola Itself!' He narrowed his eyes and wondered. Who would be that rash to do something like that?

Kaizer shrugged as Yuffie went off and knocked on Reno's door as he grabbed the railing and leapt over, landing on his feet as the ground made a loud bang sound when he landed. It even rocked the floor enough to cause a plant to crash and break. He dashed off after the clerk as Kaizer would need to see this for himself....

Sitting silently in the Battle Arena was Grimm as he tapped his foot lightly, waiting for his turn to go in. Some other dipweed had pushed ahead of him in line and went in. He had already accumulated well over 2 million points. He was just waiting to get back in. Dio had kicked him out of the arena for a little bit so others could get a turn, being the dragoon had merely one strategy that help him win. Jump and stab them in the head.

Finally the one warrior came out bruised and battered as he was taken away by friends to rest up. Getting his number called, he stood up and twirled his spear above his head as he gave an evil little smile that sent a shiver down the spine of the clerk. He looked over to a couple of clerks running from the arena as other people followed. Seems there was something weird going on. Kicking off his left foot, he gave a dash and leapt through the doors and down the steps as he headed back into the arena to have a showdown with some of the more tough monsters...

Meanwhile, Pyro had taken to the roller coaster ride as he had seen Yuffie earlier get a high score that a number of people had been trying to beat for like. Hours. It was soon a bet of money and GP was strucken up between everyone trying to beat the score. Everytime you tried to beat it, you put 100 gil into the pot. If you won, you got the whole cashout.

The only people that had really gotten close so far were Spiker, Raven, two guys who didn't matter and Pyro himself. Raven and Spiker wandered off hours ago. But he kept going. It was his turn next as he payed the lady and walked over to the coaster as he leapt over the railing and straight into it. Raising his fist as he cheered, the crowd gave him a small cheer right back as he rolled off. However, it seemed the one clerk behind the counter of the prize counter was talking into his phone as he ran off out of the area as a few others from the crowd went with him. Shrugging, Pyro didn't seem to care very much as the coaster began its ascent....But what was that large crowd of people doing forming near the Gondola ride?

Now, onto the blue-haired spikey wonder. Spiker was currently sitting at the gondola ride, chatting it up with the cute clerk there as he was trying to convince her to go on the gondola with him. Sadly, he was having no luck as she politely declined even though she showed massive interest. Continuing anyway, he would soon get bumped into by a large guy (who was rather bodybuilder like, and wore a black speedo (sound familiar?)) and his girl.

"Hey a*****e, watch where you are going!" Said Spiker to the large man. But however, the bulgy man would not take this well as he looked like a teapot. Steam billowed from his ears as he picked Spiker up by the shirt and threw him on top of the gondola. The guy would slam his fist into the console and run at the gondola as he leapt onto it.

"Oh ******** meeee." Spiker said as he tightened his gloves. His lance was useless up here and he didn't have his dagger. The gondola shoved off as the clerk girl and the other girl started to freak out. A few other employees had bounded into the area to try and stop the gondola, but they were too late. The battle had started and there was no stopping them. A commotion would go throughout the Golden Saucer as employees would immediately hear of it and go to try and help. Why would all these employees come to help?

The large man was, in fact, Dio, the owner of the Golden Saucer.

Raven was sitting in the theater, quite silent as the play unfolded before him. For some reason, he was entranced by the play and had the hopes he would be able to be chosen from the audience and go up on stage to act out the show. But...Something was going on. He heard screams coming from outside of the theater as the show was suddenly stopped as the knight, king and dragon ran off stage and out of the theater. Feeling something horribly wrong was going on, the hedgena flipped from his seat and followed quickly after them. Something wasn't right....

Yuffie blinked, spinning around to face Kaizer. A questioning look on the ninjas face. And she thought she was sneaky. Yuffie didn't even -see- him- there. But then, the entire place was dark and way creepy. It suited it. "Eerr..Yeah? Yeah...Umm.Okay..See you?" A fight at the top of the gondola? Some people were seriously messed up if they choose to fight on such a thing, in the air..She watched as he took off,stareing after him before the door had opend to Reno's. This causeing the girl to spin around once more, only to stare at the barrel of a gun.

"....Reno..." She stepped up,wacking away the gun in annoyence. "What if your finger tripped? I dont think there are any ghost's here that want to attack you..Don't be so jumpy!" She stepped into his room,without asking if she could be let in at that. "Now, Explane why you have been following us ever since I...we..got here?"

The women suddenly came to a stop. The light breeze of the nights sky lightly blowing through her short skyblue hair. She rested her atention upon the one before her, Before shakeing her head.It had seemed as though she wasn't about to say a word to him,until,after a moments wait she spoke. ".No..No Where."

The summoner took his arm kindly,before she would follow after him.So far, he was about the friendlyest person she met.She only hoped the others would be this kind.

Reno grinned as he leaned against the doorframe, dropping his gun to his side...as he assumed the sexiest pose possible, licking his lip slightly. " Well...I cant stand to be away from you Yuffie...you're...just...so hot...I'm sorry, I've said too much..." He winked...looking and sounding like he's sincere.

Cody smiled slightly. " Um...think you could lead me to a bar called the Seventh Heaven? He frowns. " I'm kind of..um...blind here..." He shrugs lightly. " Sorry to inconvenience you..."

Duo nodded, he had the most gorgeous girl he'd ever seen hanging onto his arm...no major universal crisises....seemed like a good day!!! So far...

Cloud smiled gently as he saw the expression of the seemingly sad girl evaporate into a smile. A small smile, but it was just enough to let him know that he had gotten his friend back. Cloud hated to see his friends in so much pain. That's why he saught to do anything possible to protect them; no matter what the cost. Cloud patted her shoulder lightly before speaking.

"Hey, we should probably start heading back. The others are proba--"

Cloud was cut off abrubtly as a rather catchy tune was heard echoeing throughout the walls of the alleyway. The song had been identified by many as "Cinco de Chocobo." Cloud reached into his back pocket and revealed that the source of the music was being emitted from none other than his cellphone. He held the object firmly as he studied its front cover. "Aeris," the caller ID read. Cloud smirked as his face lit up in hopes of hearing her lovely voice again. He flipped the cover with his thumb and soon the tune could no longer be heard. He carefully placed the phone to his ear as he began to speak through the device's receiver.

"Hello...?"
