Kadaj sat on the floor, watching Tifa walk back and forth, as she wiped the tables.

Kadaj, once a mad 16 year-old, now an adorable, curious, hyperactive, two-year-old. Given a second chance at life as his mental age. Now living in the care of Tifa and Cloud in Seventh Heaven. His two brothers, Yazoo, now three, and Loz, now four, were all living separately.

Loz was living with Elmyra, Cloud had explained about how they could not look after all three children, Emyra's reply had been, "It's been so lonely here since Aerith passed away, it would be nice to have more children here." And the conversation had gone from there. Regardless of how Aerith had died, Elmyra had loved Loz from the moment she saw him, and it was obvious that Loz felt at home with her.

Yazoo had been sent to live with Cid of all people! Though it was Shera who had wanted him... begged for him really. Like Elmyra, the minute she had seen Yazoo she had loved him. Unlike Cid who had been cursing as usual. Tifa had hit him over the head before Yazoo could pick up any bad language.

So after much persuasion and Shera promising to keep Yazoo under control, and secretly telling Cloud and Tifa that she would also keep Cid under control, Yazoo had stayed with them. And from all the letters Tifa and Cloud received from her Yazoo was defiantly enjoying it there.

And Kadaj was enjoying it in Seventh Heaven. It had been Cloud that said he could not give Kadaj to anyone else, Cloud and Tifa had practically adopted him. Though all three brothers were happy where they were, they all cried for each other at night.

Kadaj rolled onto his back and using his legs, kicked on the floor, pushing himself along the floor. Tifa ignored him. She was too busy and he had been doing it since she had started the job. At first it had been funny and interesting, but now she was only looking at him occasionally encase she stepped on him.

"Hey Tifa— Kadaj… what are you doing?" Denzel asked after walking down the stairs and out from behind the bar.

"Fwed." Was the short answer.

Tifa bent over, and Kadaj rolled onto his front and looked up, when Tifa stood upright and walked behind the bar Kadaj rolled back on his spine and began kicking his way to her again.

"Who is 'Fred'?" Tifa questioned as she put the duster away. "Do you know Denzel…?"

Denzel shook his bright red face and hurried back up the stairs. Tifa was confused at Denzel's actions, but chose to ignore them; she would ask Cloud about it later.

Kadaj giggled slightly and put his small pale hands over his mouth. "Co-e…!" He laughed.

A few minutes went by and Kadaj grew tired of watching Tifa. He was soon found by Cloud an hour later, he was just back from work. Kadaj was sitting in front of the television watching the Muppets, his nose only a few inches away from the screen. He squealed in annoyance when he felt Cloud pulling him back.

Kadaj kicked and tried to scramble back to the screen.

"If you stay that close to the T.V your eyes will pop." Cloud told him. Kadaj scrambled away from the T.V and watched from under one of the many chairs.

"Cloud…" Denzel whispered, beckoning for Cloud to come to him. He had locked himself away almost all day. Tifa had been worried and asked Cloud if he could find out what was wrong, since in reality Denzel was quite a shy child.

"I-I think you should talk to Tifa…"

Cloud looked confused. "Why?"

Denzel's face flushed again. "Well…uh… J-just look at her when you sit at the bar…!" Then Denzel hurried up the stairs again.

Cloud was still confused, but sat at the bar anyway, not only following the clue to what Denzel had attempted to explain, but also feeling the dire need for a drink.

"So, did you find out what was wrong with him?" Tifa asked, facing Cloud as she poured his drink and thought about what to cook for dinner that night.

"Almost…"

"What do you mean 'almost'?"

Kadaj was spinning around in circles, and then fell on his backside, laughing. He soon looked up at Tifa with wide eyes and lay on his back as he had done earlier.

Cloud looked down at him in curiosity. All he could see were Kadaj's skinny legs and sock covered feet.

"Kadaj, what are you doing…?" Tifa asked in a motherly tone. Bending over to pick him up. Kadaj tried to climb over her shoulder and was soon happy with his view as he looked down.

Tifa had turned around, and Cloud's face was as red as a tomato. He now understood what Denzel was saying, also why Kadaj had found such and interest in Tifa all of a sudden.

"Fwed!" Kadaj shouted excitedly, making the words meaning dawn on Cloud and collapse in a mountain of embarrassment.

"T-Tifa…" Cloud said nervously, after clearing his voice a few times.

"Hmm? Yes?" Tifa happily replied, turning her head.

"I think I know why Denzel's been acting so strange…"

"Really? Why?" Tifa asked excitedly.

"Well… I-I really think that you should stick to wearing your trousers and shorts…" Tifa looked confused.

"Co-e!" Kadaj shrieked happily, as he continued to look down. Cloud immediately stood up and took Kadaj from Tifa, sitting him on his lap and turning him around.

"It's…uh… hard for me to tell you. Being a guy and all…"

"Just say it! You're driving me crazy!"

"Pull your skirt out your knickers…" He said, his voice nervous and his face turning o red that it looked like he had eaten a bowl full of chilli's and a glass of extra hot chilli juice.

Tifa's face turned almost as red as Cloud's was, and began tugging at the back of her skirt.

"I'm happy that there were no customers today!" She embarrassedly sighed. Cloud nodded and looked down at Kadaj with a frown on his face. "That explains why Denzel was so distant!"

"And the one that wasn't…" Cloud pointed down to Kadaj who was sitting with his arms crossed after not being able to turn around.

Tifa blushed again. "He was looking at me all the time!" She gasped. "So when he said Fred and Co-e, he meant Fred and cobwebs…"

"He's never watching 'Drop Dead Fred' again… The little pervert…"

I hoped you liked it! I'm hoping to continue but at my own pace. For the few people that do not know, Drop Dead Fred is about an imaginary friend who comes back to help a woman who used to imagine him up, he looks under her mothers skirt and says 'Cobwebs' and also looks under her EX-husbands girlfriends skirt laughing that she's wearing no knickers. Just my thought of something that a mini Kadaj would do.

Anyway, all ideas appreciated! And NO FLAMES!
