SO THIS IS ANOTHER STRANGE THING I FOUND ON MY COMPUTER... AND THIS TIME, I SERIOUSLY MEAN IT; IT'S STRANGE.

"I'm bored," Aeris groaned, propping her chin on her palm. Her elbow hurt from being pushed against the control panel next to Zack, but she really didn't care. She was that bored. With a yawn, the brunette looked over that the black haired man at her side. He looked back at her with a grin.

"Why? This is fun!" His forefinger hit the blue button in front of him labeled 'Die'. The person eating cereal on the screen before them paused mid bite and fell face forward into their bowl, dead. Aeris rolled her eyes, pushing the white button before her labeled 'Live'. The person jolted awake, milk dripping down their face and a Cheerio in their nose. "See?!"

"No," she huffed, toe tapping against the floor rapidly. Some days, he reallygot on her nerves. "Tifa's holding that reunion at her place again this year."

"Aw, we're not invited?" He scrolled through the wide camera view of people. He stopped on a fat man picking his nose, a hot dog in his other hand. Chuckling, the soldier hit his button, the man falling and his chubby phalange getting stuck up his nostril.

"Zack, please,"she huffed, granting him life once again. The poor guy sadly looked at his smooshed, dirt covered lunch and waddled away. "And of course not. We're dead."

"That doesn't mean we can't make an appearance." Confused, Aeris frowned at him with a tilted head. Zack beamed, happy to finally have the chance to make the best prank ever!Even Reno couldn't top this one... "We could make them switch bodies for a day."

"Or a few," Aeris smiled evilly. "Besides, they all think the others have it so easy. Maybe this will stop their whining."

"Let's do it!" Zack cheered, fist pumping. "Tonight when they all go to bed!"

Tifa hurried around her kitchen, rushing to prepare drinks and food for the little get together that night. Reunions were for Sephiroth. Yuffie yawned, bored out of her little ninja mind. In the corner, Marlene and Denzel scribbled on pieces of paper, drawing the members of Avalanche as well as young children can. Barret's adopted daughter put two very very very slight triangles under Vincent's lips, smiling back at the crayon drawing.

The back door opened and in came Cloud, blonde hair tousled from the wind. He raised a blonde eyebrow at the bustling woman behind the counter before shaking his head and looking toward the kids.

"Cloud!" Denzel exclaimed, running toward him and yanking him into a tight hug. The blonde tolerated the hold until the the boy let go and went back to coloring. Yuffie took a sip out of Marlene's abandoned juice box and jerked her head up toward him.

"Sup?"

"... Not much. You gonna help her?"

"Are you?"Both of them looked at Tifa and cringed as she viciously beat a washcloth against the counter because it smelled like mildew.

"I'll pass." Cloud finally answered.

"Then so will I."

The blonde delivery boy slowly picked his way up the stairs, stopping in his room and setting his blade against the wall. He frowned at the extra mattress on his floor; he didn't really feel like sharing with anyone tonight, but he certainly hoped that if he got stuck with anyone, it was either Vincent or Nanaki. A shadow outside his window caught his eye, but when he looked, there was nothing. IswearIsawalittlepink just then...

Cid sighed, content with sitting in the back and having his cigarette. Shera and her friends were back at the house having tea, and for once, he didn't mind. At least he had the woman off his back for the next few days. &$+wife.Barret laughed loudly across the bar, ignoring Vincent's disapproving scowl. Cloud quietly laughed next to the big man, the three staring at Marlene's gift to 'Uncle Vinnie'.

"You are all so unbearable!"Yuffie shrieked. "I can't believe no one brought materia!"

"Yeah, cuz you would steal it," Barret retorted. She glared at him before sulking under a table, mumbling to herself miserably. Tifa frowned when she noticed the absence of a friend.

"Where's Reeve?"

"He couldn't make it tonight. Said he had some commissioner stuff to do," Cloud shrugged.

"Oh," she huffed. "I told him to take the time off."

"He runs a company," Vincent replied lowly. "I'm sure he did not mean for this to happen."

"Hey, you finally said somethin', Vamps," Barret yelled. Marlene rolled her eyes and leaned closer to Cid.

"Think he drank too much dizzy juice, Mr. Cid."

"How many times to I gotta tell ya that it's just Cid?" The pilot chuckled, ruffling her hair. Dizzy juice? Cute."Hey Teef! Get me some 'dizzy juice'!"

"Get you some what?" Her eyebrows drew together over her burgundy eyes. Marlene giggled and hugged Cid tightly before running to say goodnight to everyone else.

"Nothin', kid. Don't worry about it." He kicked back in his seat, simply enjoying his smoke.

"Night everybody!" Denzel called from the top of the stairs, Yuffie waving both hands over her head and Tifa blowing a kiss. Marlene kissed her father's cheek before running up after him.

"Night," Cloud grumbled.

"Sleep tight, kids!" Tifa added. She looked forward toward her friends again, giving the counter a half hearted scrub. "I'm exhausted. I think I'll turn in too."

"G'night Teef," Cid acknowledged, though he was secretly wondering if Shera's giggle squad had burned his house down yet. -%+! Don't think about it!

One by one, the members of Avalanche went to bed, each sharing a room with someone. The Seventh Heaven was a bar, not an inn, but there where still bedrooms in the narrow halls. Yuffie pushed her back against Tifa's, the friends struggling to stay warm due to the lack of a large blanket. Cid grunted as his back popped when he laid down on the floor mattress in Barret's room.

"Gettin' too old for this -%+," he grumbled. Barret chuckled.

"If you're old, then what 'm I?"

"Energetic," Cid waved his hand dismissively.

Across the hall, Nanaki snoozed in the hallway, perfectly content on any floor. Inside the door he rested behind, Cloud kicked off his boots and rolled up in his thin covers, Vincent merely sitting against the wall with his rear on his own mattress. Even the seemingly indestructible man was tired, eyelids falling shut as his forehead fell against his raised knees. That's gonna hurt in the morning, Cloud though, cringing when he noticed his friend's position. Then he shrugged. Oh well. At least Vincent isn't a complainer.

Zack snickered upon seeing the oblivious people dozing off. They had no idea what was in store. Aeris smiled down at her checklist. Him to her and she to he... Oh Cid! I feel bad for you!

"Shall we get to work?" She asked innocently. Her black haired friend merely laughed and walked over to Yuffie.

"I can't wait to see their faces."

THIS IS REALLY RANDOM... AND IT'S ALSO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE WRITER'S BLOCK OR I JUST CAN'T COME UP WIH ANY NEW STORIES. IT WON'T LAST LONG, MAYBE FIVE CHAPTERS AT THE MOST. IT ALSO MIGHT BE KINDA CONFUSING NEXT CHAPTER, SO LET ME CLEAR THIS UP HERE.

WHEN I SAY SOMEONE'S NAME FROM ANOTHER PERSON'S POV, THAT MEANS THEY'RE REFERRING TO THE PHYSICAL PERSON, NOT THE PERSON.. INSIDE. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

LET'S SAY THAT CLOUD TURNS INTO YUFFIE.

'CID GLARED OVER AT YUFFIE, ANNOYED BY HER SUDDEN SWORD TALK.' WHEN IT'S CLOUD'S POV, HE WILL BE REFERRED TO AS CLOUD, BUT ON THE OUTSIDE, BECAUSE THE OTHERS SEE YUFFIE, THEY WILL REFER TO HIM AS YUFFIE. GOT IT?

DON'T WORRY, CLOUD'S NOT GONNA BE YUFFIE... NO, I HAVE MUCH MORE EVIL PLANS TEE-HEE
