Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just as Rikku got onto her bike, Yuffie stepped back over to her Chocobo,which only ducked low to the ground to allow the young ninja onto its back.Once seated securly on the massive bird, she gave a small grin toward Rikku.

"Yeah, I kind of thought so. I mean with that language you spoke earlyer, and to the fact i've never seen you before! Hehehe..See, Strange things like this have been happening a lot lately.People comeing into this time, confused and lost, claiming they've never been here before. Strange things like that. The newest member is some girl named Yuna, I never met her yet, I just heard from my friends. Would'nt it be funny if you two knew eatch other?"

Waveing her hand into the air,and pointing foward, She laughed,giving Crystal a small nudge to tell her to go. "Okay, Let's hit the road!" The Chocobo suddenly took off running. It would never match the speed of Rikkus bike, but it was pretty dang fast! It was a good thing she feed Crystal a ton of greens to boost its stanima before she left..

Rikku was only half listening to what Yuffie was saying, her focus on the bike and the sounds it was making. Suddenly though at the mention of Yuna's name she snapped to attention, her green eyes widening in shock. Yuna! She was here?

"Yunie? She's.. you mean she's actually here? I can't believe it! What luck! Oh I hope she's safe.. you don't know where she is.. do you Yuffie? Well.. let's talk about it when we arrive.."

The blond revved up her bike, tossing her braids over her shoulders and with a light kick of her foot, the bike sped off into the distance, keeping slow so she could follow the ninja and not tire out the Chocobo completely.

Before takeing off, She was able to answer the short questions Rikku had for her. Nodding softly with a grin. "Oh, You -do- know her? How strange is that!Haha. Well, she's safe. Last I knew she was hanging out with one of my friends.. Man, they are scatterd everwhere. We'll find them all if I have to steal some materia to get there atention..Anyway!"

The she was off. They were so lucky there had been recently build roads and highways to get to eatch area. Otherwise they would normally need to cross over the oceans just to get to a certin area. And with Cid not around, it was a little dificult.As the two girls took off into the distance, only clouds of thick dirt would fly up from the Chocobo, and motorbike Rikku road on.

The entire ride toward Nibelhem was a quiet one, all but the sound of a running Chocobo, and the roaring engins of Rikku's bike.It had taken a good 25 minutes to arive at the destination of Nibelhem, And as rudely as it may of seemed,Once they got to the town, she and her Chocobo ran inside,comeing to a slow stop. "Hmm....Okay, they wouldn't be in any of the homes there, so...only one place to be..The mountains? " She turned, and shouted to Rikku. "Hey! Follow me, were going to go through the mountains now..Heee.." She grinned. Oh,this was going to be fun..Giving a soft kick, the bird took off through a narrow pathway,and through to the wideing pathway of the mountains...

Sephriea gave a slight nod to Seifer. Might as well, huh? There was nothing else here but a stream of mako, and a reactor in the distance.She didn't really need to see that.Not now,not ever.

"Okay, Sure.." The young silverhaired girl turned to follow along the blonde.He still reminded her so much of Rufus, but it was quite ovious he was not.

As she walked, she didn't quite pay to much atention to where she was going.As the sudden sound of what sounded like something with pretty large feet ran toward there way.The girl slowly glanceing up to the direction of the sound..

"!?!" She let out a loud shreik, just as the Chocobo came to a skidding halt,smacking right into her,makeing her stumble back and fall agianst the ground. "Ow!"

"Yikes! Haha..Sephriea? Sorry. Uh..yeah..Oops." She laughed,the Chocobo in return makeing a soft wark,then it got louder as if it had its own way of laughing.

Yuffie glanced behind her, to check if Rikku was still behind them.

Reno shrugged. " I dunno...how about you show me your bedroom, yo? " He grinned and winked to show he was teasing as he dropped his spent cig, stomping it out as he looked around the small, classic town...he shrugged, tossing his hair back with a yawn, stretching. " Man yo...this place is too quiet yo."

Seifer stepped forward, catching the silver haired girl with his left arm, his right arm holding the gunblade out at the huge yellow bird. " A Chocobo? What in the....who are you...!?" Seifer aimed down his gunblade, ready to attack the girls....who'd knocked his sparring partner down.

Yuffie just laughed. Who was this guy with her anyway? Geez, Sephriea got around didn't she. Everytime she saw her she was with some strange person.She waved a hand at the blonde,rolling her eyes.

"Calm down,Hero. Who are YOU? Sephriea there happends to be a friend of mine. Don't hate the Chocobo for not being able to stop in time. And we have a guest, So be nice will you. " She sshot a cold glare at the man, turning to face Rikku with a small grin. She quickly waved slightly,hopping off her Chocobo. "Its okay, I have no idea who he is but I dont think we have to worry to much. "

Sephriea was still in a sort of shock from being cought by the man. It was strange, anyone else would of let her fall, but he took a few seconds to actually catch her.Snapping out of her daze, she got herself to stand straight.. ".Its okay, Seifer. Yuffie's an idiot and cant stop her Chocobo until it hits someone!"

Rikku nodded, dropping her hands and putting away the blades. She tilted her head slightly, looking from Sephriea, to Seifer, to the Ninja and back again. The blond girl knew her fair share of strange people, in fact she was pretty strange herself but these ones took the cake.

"If you say so Yuffie. But who goes around pointing sharp things at people they don't know?... Cunno.. uh.. Sorry.. Seifer?"

She bowed slightly to the man, holding up her hands to show she wasn't a threat anymore and then reached behind her head to untie her bandana. Letting her blond hair fall free, the bikini-clad girl flipped it up and caught her hair in a strange ponytail, retying the bandana and letting her hair settle again. Then she turned her attention to the people she hadn't met yet.

"Well.. my name is Rikku.." She held out her hand to the strangers and smiled, her green eyes sparkling. "It's nice to meet you, no matter what the circumstances!

At that point, she spotted the newcomer and backed up a little into Yuffie, pointing in his direction.

"Who is THAT?" She whispered quietly, her eyes wide.

Tifa placed her hands on her hips, staring at Reno with a small smirk as she arched a brow, "And you've got jokes too." Even though she knew he was just kidding... it wasn't a bad idea. She could show him around her home a bit, after all, it had been so long since she herself had even went in. Maybe it would be nice to retrace her childhood days for once, the days when she hardly had a care in the world... She was a free spirit, free to do whatever she wanted whenever she wanted. She hardly worried or stressed over anything. Now, look at her. She could barely go one day without stressing herself over the smallest things, some of which weren't even her concern anyway.

Having made up her mind, she took Reno's hand, tugging at it slightly as she smiled innocently, "Come on, I wanna show you where I used to live!" She was so excited, she still had pieces of her childhood left that she could share with her love. Making her way up to the door with Reno's hand still firmly clasped with hers, she twisted the handle to her home delicately, gently pushing the door open as the inside of the humble abode revealed itself to the two. Tifa put on a delighted smile, clasping her hands together as she glanced about the first floor of her home, eyeing every aspect of the place. Everything was in its rightful place, nothing had changed ever since she left it. She glanced back at Reno, her hands still clasped together as she stood on her toes in order to get a closer look into his aquamarine pools as she simply asked the ever-so-cliche question, "So, do you like it? Hmm?"
