Alright, to keep anyone from getting way too confused, go read about the OC's on my profile, if not I cannot be blamed it you get confused, I'm trying to help you out! If you think the first chapter should be a info of all OC's let me know, I can only make this story good if you help! This takes place roughl 20 or so years after DoC in, where else, Edge, the city of Edge.

This story is being betaed by a wonderful author and friend, Siren Mist, she has a awesome story Burden of Innocent, if you haven't read it, read it! This is my first story to do fully with a betaer, (I haven't a clue what you call someone who beta's), I already have chapter's one and two done, three is on the way! This story is taking its own life, a bit creepy if you ask me, but let me know if its good. Now I'm pretty sure you are all tired of my endless chatter so...Onto a pointless prolodge!

"Run, run, run!" A brownish/black haired young man commanded as he and his companion ran as fast as their legs could carry them; Zack Strife and Denus Highwind were running for their lives, from something so horrible it made Sephiroth seem tame! At least from their parent's stories, at seeing the big sign that said, "Seventh Heaven", Zack breathed a sigh of relief -home base! The two dived for the front door, panting heavily as they lay sprawled out on the cool hardwood floor. Home base, they were safe.

"Zack Strife! Denus Highwind! I will kill your sorry asses!"

Jerking their heads up at hearing a distinctly angry female voice, Denus groaned, "Why did I let you talk me into making my girlfriend hate me?"

Grinning like an idiot, Zack patted Denus on the back, hard, making him groan. "Keeps the spark alive, my friend!"

Looking at a brown shoe tapping against the floor, the two young men followed it up to see Tifa Strife with her arms crossed, glaring them down, and a young blonde beauty copying her stance perfectly.

"Mom! Genny!" Zack cried, standing up. Dragging Denus with him, the two raced to hide behind the counter."You don't mind letting your favorite son and nephew hide do you? Of course you don't!"

Tifa glanced over at her daughter, both had matching looks of disbelief. Before they could even attempt to punish the two boys,the door swung open to reveal a blonde woman, soaking wet, anger clear in her split colored eyes. "Where are the idiots?"

Geniji shrugged and pointed to the counter. "Please don't destroy it, it cost good money."

Tifa shot her daughter a disbelieving look, her children still causing mass destruction even in their early twenties. "I'm not sure whether I want you to mean the counter, or your brother."

Geniji shrugged, walking over to a table and picked up her book. "For right now, we'll leave it ambiguous."

"Hold up, Missy! God, you're fast when you're angry!" A red haired and brown haired girl appeared in the doorway, both panting as they leaned on each other. They had spent the better part of the hot afternoon chasing down a pissed Turk in training -bad idea all around.

Pushing her hair back agitatedly, the redhead looked around for sign of the two idiot boys, opening her mouth to offer a smart mouthed comment. However, the only thing that came out was a yelp as she and her friend fell down with two boys on top of them.

Pushing himself up, Grimoire Valentine stared in shock at seeing Ralu beneath him. Her surprise lasted for five seconds before it turned into a shark like grin.

"Like what you see?" She winked at him as he sputtered in shock. The one problem with her was she had no qualms about making him flustered. He was never more thankful to be pulled up by his big sister. Valonica arched an eyebrow at her brother's red face, but one look at Ralu told her all she needed to know.

Ryfi groaned at the weight on top of her, what hit them? Opening her eyes, she felt her whole face flush as Clyan groaned and pushed himself up.

"Ryfi? What happened?" She truly wished her mouth was working –unfortunetly, it seemed to be cut off. And what was worse, as Ralu stood up, she could see the evil glint in her friend's eyes.

"What do you think happened? You boys just wanted a chance to see us under you, not that I blame ya!"

Clyan's, Grimoire's and Ryfi's eyes all widened at Ralu's blunt words. At seeing their flustered faces, she burst out into loud guffaws; teasing them was sometimes too easy! She was still laughing as she leaned against the doorway. Clyan and Ryfi got up and glared at her. Sometimes, Ralu's teasing boarder lined on plain torture. Did she hate them?

"Pardon me, 'cuse me! Watch it!" A dripping wet, black haired young woman maneuvered her way through the crash pile of teenagers. Entering the bar area, she scanned it for her friends. Tifa had left, probably to go warn Cloud, Misaine was leaning over the counter, and Geniji was reading a book. Lilaye glanced over to her best friend. Without looking up from her book, Geniji pointed to the bar counter. Nodding, Lilaye walked over and suppressed a giggle at hearing Misaine's annoyed voice.

"Denus, I'm giving you the option of surrender-take it!"

Lilaye smiled at the older woman before jumping over the counter and pulling both boys up by their shirt collars. Misaine smirked and jumped over the counter also, the boy's eyes wide with fear.

'As it should be,' Misaine thought briefly.

"Missy, surrender is too nice an option for them," she said in a sickly sweet voice, matching her sickly sweet smile, "don'tcha agree?" She looked over at the older woman, who had held her chin in her hand.

After a couple of anxious seconds, she nodded. "I believe you're right, Lil. Maybe I'm going soft..."

Moving to where she held both boys by one hand, she patted her shoulder sympathetically. "No, no. You're not going soft at all! I considered it too, but then it hit me!"

Denus sighed and accepted his fate. It really wasn't one of Zack's smarter ideas- in fact, it was plain stupid. But Zack insisted. Now, Zack couldn't even accept his punishment. He was struggling to get out of Lilaye's grip, which was nearly impossible as she had uncanny strength -probably from her father.

"Oh, what was that?" Misaine asked, tilting her head, the two girls were ignoring the boys as they carried on a normal conversation, as if the boys weren't even there, "groveling!" Lilaye said it with such enthusiasm, the older woman chuckled. Zack ceased his struggling briefly, before trying even harder. He would not grovel! He was Zack Strife, for lifestream's sake! Why the hell couldn't he get out of an eighteen year olds grip?

An evil idea took over, stopping his struggling. As both girl's debated on the boy's punishment, he struck, tickling Lilaye mercilessly. Her laughter loosened her grip. Grinning, he grabbed a stunned Denus and ran away from the two women. Growling the two women's good moods vanished as they chased them around the bar. Genji looked up in partway annoyance, partway amusement. Standing up, Geniji attempted to stop this.

"Listen, you guys. Why can't-"

Her talking was cut off from shock as Zack grabbed her and used her as a shield. She blinked, stunned at this turn of events.

"Wait, you wouldn't hurt your best friend, right?" Zack asked with a slight plead in his voice Geniji's eyes narrowed at being used as a shield. Turning around, she pushed him away and the chase began again.

The five teenagers from inside stopped and watched in slight amusement, with Ralu crying out in excitement, "free for all!"

Before she started chasing them, groaning, Ryfi chased after her friend, Clyan chased after her, and Grimoire and Valonica chased after their sister. The group chased each other around the bar, destroying it immensely, bar tables and chairs were knocked and turned upside down. When it seemed it couldn't get any worse, Trainor, RJ, and Kalane appeared from the steps. The three glanced at each other, shrugged and joined in the chase.

"Tifa, are you sure it was a good idea to leave all the kids alone in your bar?" Yuffie asked, knowing that her plan was asking for destruction-maybe Tifa wanted to renovate?

Tifa rolled her eyes, as she approached the kitchen door. Tifa nodded. "They're not kids anymore Yuffie, they've all pretty much grown up." Behind her stood the entire AVALANCE crew, along with the Turks. It was a monthly gathering so the kids could catch up -how much trouble could a group of young adults and teenager get into?

Opening the door, the group stopped and stared at what was her bar. Beer and other assorted alcoholic drinks were everywhere, tables and chairs were turned upside down it looked like a war zone. In the middle of it all, the children brawled, various yelps and cries emitting from the chaos. Each parent stood, shell-shocked, until Cait Sith stood on his creator's head and let out a long piercing whistle.

The fighting stopped abruptly as all the children glanced up at their not-so amused parents. All simultaneously gulped, knowing the trouble they were in and the punishment they were going to endure.

The thick silence was broken by Lilaye as she grinned up at her father, her head on Zack's chest and her feet coming dangerously close to kicking Trainor. Much like her mother, she spoke first, cheerfully announcing. "Hi, Daddy! This, uh, isn't what it looks like!"
