Summary: I had a dream, so I decided to put it in words… Sephiroth's back and he claims to be a new man. Cloud doesn't believe him and makes it his mission to destroy him. The only obstacle in Cloud's way is Rena, his sister. Rena has befriended Sephiroth and won't let Cloud kill him. But Rena has an amazing secret…

A holiday in Rena's home was always the same.
She didn't have a large family, but they were very noisy. And today was no different.
Rena's father sat at the head of the sizeable dining room table shouting at her cousins and being merry. His wife, Rena's stepmother, was buzzing around the dining room, supervising the festivities. And Rena herself was standing at the back of the room, smiling as she surveyed her family. She loved them so much. But with a frown, she glanced at the window.
Where was Sephiroth?
She had invited him over, but he was already twenty minutes late. Sighing, she went over to the window, staring at the landscape. Rena lived on the Wutai continent, in a small town in the cliffs, named Ocean Village. It was a fairly new town, founded by her father. Their house was on the tip of the highest cliff, and her father had fashioned a small ledge right out from the back door, so one could stand at the edge and take in the beauty of the mountains.
It also served as a landing platform for those who could fly. Namely, Sephiroth and Cloud.
Cloud.
He had had to work today, and – Rena realized – it would have been disastrous if he had come upon Sephiroth. Sighing again, she shook her head. Why couldn't Cloud realize that his former enemy really had changed? He was so stubborn. She supposed he never could forgive him for Aeris' death and all that had happened.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Rena called over the noise that she would get it, but no-one heard or cared anyway. Making her way to the front of the house, dodging children, she opened the massive oak door. And there, lo and behold, in all his glory, was Sephiroth.
