" Good Morning Vin ", Cid spoke in surprise.

Vincent hadn't left his room since Holy saved the Planet from Meteor, The Pilot was glad he finally managed to get his lazy but up.

Vincent yawned, scratching his hair with his claw hand. He didn't say a word, just walked right by Cid to the cupboard.

" Did you sleep well last night? " Cid asked, his voice muffled by the cigarette in his mouth. He had heard so many times that he needed to quit by villagers, and he was even considering it.

Vincent didn't reply, he grabbed a cup from the cupboard and filled it with hot tea. His eyes had a blank, emotionless expression. He looked as if he'd seen to many awful things in this life.

" You can answer me, ya know? "

The Dark Man still was silent, and walked back off to his room. No smile, not even a change in the way he walked or stood.

Cid sighed, taking a sip of his own Tea. Vincent was so quiet, it was hard to understand anything about what he was going through or feeling inside. Going from one place to the next, afraid of what may soon come your way. It was heartbreaking.

The doorbell rang, not surprising him. Cloud and the others had been coming to see him and Vincent alot lately, seeing if everything was okay. He was sure they were mostly worried about Vincent, wanting to know if he was alright.

He lied to Lucrecia, Cid never understood why. Why would you lie to the person you love so much, why did Vincent tell Lucrecia Sephiroth was dead? He was tempted to ask him but didn't seem to have the courage. Someday...Someday he would. Cid answered the door, still in his undershirt and pants.

" HELLO!!! " Yuffie squeeled as Cid opened the door.

The Pilot shook his head, " What are you doin here Yuff? "

The young ninja lifted up a jar, " I brought you and Vincent some cookies! Specialty of Wutai! "

Cid shook his head, " You came all the way to Rocket Town to bring us some cookies? "

Yuffie lowered her head. That's when Cid shut his mouth. He knew Yuffie had a crush on Vincent for a while, and would do anything to be by his side. Yuffie seemed to be the only person he talked to, besides Cloud. Her and Vincent connected in some odd way, they connected in a better way then anyone he knew.

" Um Cid? " Yuffie asked, " Can I come in? "

" OH! I'm sorry... " he said, smacking himself on the forehead. He was tired and was thinking about something else, something Yuffie even knew.

He took the jar from her hand, and placed it carefully on the table.

The house was alot neater than usual, Cid rarely had time to clean. He knew what Shera would have wanted though, him to be clean and to be positive. She would want him to be kind, and to think about everyone first. His thoughts trailed away as Yuffie spoke to him one again from the living room couch.

" Are you doing okay, you know...I mean...without, without...HER? "

Cid shrugged, " I'm okay, been doing girl stuff...ya know, like dustin, doin dishes, organizen, all that junk ".

She was surprised, Cid must have really gotten over Shera's death. He was doing things that she would have never imagined him doing. Her thoughts went back to her crush. " Where's Vincent? ", she suddenly asked.

The Pilot plopped onto the large chair across from the couch. " He's in his room. He barely comes out...you can go give a knock if you want. "

She sat up, walking past Cid as she left. Vincent's room was near the back door that lead to the backyard. Cid kept what was left of the Highwind in the back yard, and she had heard that he'd been repairing it. She thought it was a great idea, for old times sake. It would be nice to ride in the Highwind again.

She stood in front of Vincent's door, not hearing one sound on the other side of it. " Hello? " she whispered, knocking on it lightly.

A soft and kind voice spoke from the other side, " Come in ".

She took a deep breath, opening the door slowly. She pictured a nice room, with brightly colored curtains and such. What she got was completely different.
