A/N: I was bored, tired, and had nothing better to do. Give me a break. Oh, and I only use Shinra as the "true love" part of the song because it was funny, not because I'm a Shinra fan. I hate Shinra…sort of. Heh heh.

A/N: Wow…I actually survived writing it out! Translations for those who don't have the game – the four Huge Materia are objects I had to find in the game; by "six original AVALANCHE members" I mean the six non-optional members (Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Cid, Red XIII, and Cait Sith) who don't die at any point. Chocobos are like large…birds…that you can use to get to certain places. By "towns to visit" I just mean the places scattered around the World Map – I don't know if there are nine or whatever – and I used it since I didn't have anything else for nine. Translations for people who haven't seen Advent Children – the three "evil Remnants" are Yazoo, Kadaj, and Loz, three Remnants of Sephiroth ("Think of him as a sort of larval form" as Vincent put it); the "two orphans to care for" are Denzel and Marlene, who Cloud and Tifa are helping to raise (I have heard that there were more kids that they cared for, but it seemed a bit sketchy from what I've read and observed in the movie). And by "a place in the ranks of the Turks"…well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to be a Turk.
