"Vincent...I need your help" Zack confessed.

"With what?"

"Me and Cloud were playing with materia and I accidentally turned him into a baby" Zack grinned sheepishly.

"I see... Okay, Ill see what I can do" Vincent promised then walked off.

~xox~

"Vincent, you're an idiot" Zack was desperate.

"Hmf"

"You dick! How the hell are we gonna fix this?"

"I never meant to!" Vincent was beginning to get agitated.

Reno threw his head back and laughed " OMG LOL, Well done Vinneh!"

Cloud looked up and wheezed. He had grown older, but this time, too old. The wrinkles in his face were deep covered his whole face. Cloud looked around at everyone. "You kids get off my lawn!" Shaking his fist at everyone he started poking them with his walking stick.

Reno laughed harder at this.

Zack shook his head and sighed, " Reno, this isn't funny"

"It is yo" Reno pulled out a materia, "I switched the materia!" He fell to the floor laughing and wiggling his legs.

Vincent looked at him in disgust, "You took advantage of me and switched it!"

"No shit, you should have been more careful yo!" Reno said smirking. Zack watched Cloud have fits over the fact that everything is so expensive now.

"Back in my day you could by Shin-Ra for just one gil!" Cloud said coughing ad falling asleep. Zack sighed and took Cloud to the bedroom so he can sleep.

As Zack walked in he found Vincent and Reno on the floor having a wrestling match, the whole situation seemed stupid...how could Reno be such a bitch.

Zack sat up in a blind panic, sweating. He looked around in the darkness, and realised he was in his own room. "CLOUD!"

A baby giggled in a cot next to his bed and Zack sighed. "come on Cloud, lets change your nappy."

As Zack walked out of his room, he came face to face with Vincent and Reno.

Vincent smiled, and held out a materia, partly purple, partly green. "Here you go, this should work"

Zack tipped his head on the side, total puppy style, "What? You don't want to shoot him?"

Vincents brows furrowed "Why would I want to shoot Cloud?" Reno just chuckled and squeezed Vincents hand lovingly, while looking at Zack in the doorway.

"Its, just, nothing. It was just a dream, I guess..." Zack wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. He took the materia while shaking slightly.

Vincent put out a hand and placed it on Zacks. "What's got you so upset?"

"Its Cloud, I don't know if its going to work" Zack started sobbing.

Vincent smiled reassuringly and whispered something gently "It WILL. I know it...,Its what keeps me looking so young"

Zack wiped the tears away and smiled. He ran quickly into the bedroom and absorbed the materia into his arm.

Baby Cloud looked up at him with big eyes "Zackie?"

"It will be OK" Zack focused on the power and it shot out of his arm, down his finger tips, crackled there for a few seconds, and hit Cloud in a lightning bolt.

Cloud screamed and the light took over the whole room. They all had to turn their heads away and squeezed their eyes closed.

The light faded away and they all looked back. They saw a fully grown Cloud, crammed into the cot, naked, trying to pull the blanket over himself for some decency. Zack ran over and embraced him, tears streaming down his face. "I love you Cloud"

"I love you too Zack"

"Cloud Strife, would you do me the honour of marrying me?"

"YES! yes..." Cloud started crying too.

Reno turned to Vincent "Will you marry me?"He got on one knee and held his loves hand.

Vincent fell to his knees as well and pulled Reno into a hug. He whispered in his ear "yes"
