Chapter 1

"Scene 90 Aeris's Gift take one!" the director called out.

"Aeris?" Cloud called as he saw her praying.

Five columns form a path to the shrine. All of them are no wider than Cloud.

Below them is a pool of pure, blue water. Cloud leaps onto the first column. The others move as if to follow, but Cloud waves them away. He leaps across the other columns and reaches the shrine. He steps onto the stairs leading up to the glass platform where Aeris kneels. The screen goes red for a moment. Cloud shakes his head and reaches for his sword... then shakes his head again and continues. He stands before Aeris. She does not move. He faces away and draws his sword. She still does not move. He turns to face her. He lifts his sword above his head. She still does not move. Cloud brings down his sword and….

"Cloud!" Vincent yelled.

"Stop!" Tifa screamed.

Cloud shakes his head and steps back. "Ugh... what are you making me… hey, wait a minute? Very funny you guys."

Everyone but Vincent cracked up as Cloud realized that his sword had been switched with Yuffie's Japanese hand fan.

"Cut!" The marker clacks infront of the screen. "Scene 90 Aeris's Gift take two!"

"Cloud!" Vincent yelled.

"Stop!" Tifa screamed.

Cloud shakes his head and steps back. "Ugh... what are you making me do?"

Aeris looks up for the first time and sees Cloud. She smiles beautifully. The camera pans up. Falling from the bright white light from above comes a black figure. It falls faster and faster. It is Sephiroth. His sword is drawn. Faster he falls, straight for Aeris. Just inches away from Aeris his grip slips and his sword conks her on the head.

"CUT!"

"Ow!" Aeris screamed rubbing her head.

"Sorry." Sephy motioned for his rope men to pull him up.

"Scene 90 Aeris's Gift take two!"

It is Sephiroth. His sword is drawn. Faster he falls, straight for Aeris. Suddenly one of his ropes tangle and Sephiroth tumbles out of control. Cloud dives out of the way breaking his foam sword as Aeris is caught underneath Sephy.

"CUT!"

"Get off me!" Aeris screamed shoving Sephy off.

"Sorry, sorry." Sephy said dusting his coat off and checking his nails. "I'll be sure to get it right the next time."

Twenty takes later.

"Scene 90 Aeris's Gift take twenty-two!"

It is Sephiroth. His sword is drawn. Faster he falls, straight for Aeris. His sword pierces through Aeris's body. The next few moments seem like hours. Cloud's heart pounds in his ears. Sephiroth, his sword through Aeris's body, just stares at Cloud. His eyes glitter, cat-like, a sly smile on his lips. With a great noise of grating metal, he pulls his sword from her body. Aeris falls forward, her eyes wide open in shock... but the smile does not leave her face. Then her eyes close. As she falls, her hair ribbon comes undone and a small materia, glowing a pale green, falls from it. It bounces once, then twice, and eventually bounces off of everything in the room and is headed for the camera and…

"CUT!" The director picked up the materia looking it over. "Alright, who switched the materia with a bouncy ball?" The sea of actors parted leaving Yuffie standing alone in the middle, "Alright Yuffie, hand it over."

"Heh, heh," Yuffie twitched then bolted out of the room.

"Scene 90 Aeris's Gift take twenty-three!"

It bounces once, emitting a small, pure sound against the glass floor. It bounces again, and again, until it falls off the platform into the clear water below.

"And cut!" The director clapped. "Alright people, on to Scene 91 Puppet - Descent Into Life take 1 and action!"

Aeris's body falls forward. Cloud makes an attempt to catch her, but she falls flat on her face.

"Cut!" the director rubbed his head. "This is gonna be a long day."

"Scene 91 Puppet - Descent Into Life take 10!"

"...Shut up." Cloud said bowing his head closer to Aeris trembling. He abruptly looks up at Sephiroth. "The cycle of nature and your stupid plan don't mean a thing."

Cloud slowly turns his head back to Aeris's sleeping face as a lion's roar is heard in the background. Simba stands on Pride Rock as "The Circle of Life" plays.

"Cut! What are you doing here?"

Simba stepped down from his rock and traipsed over. "Didn't he say the circle of nature? Isn't that the same thing as the circle of life?"

"You're here for that Kingdom Hearts bit aren't you?" The director growled.

"Yeah, isn't this it?"

"Third floor o smart one." The director rubbed his head as Simba contemplated what he said. "Red XIII would you mind showing him?"

"Scene 91 Puppet - Descent Into Life take 12!"

"...Shut up." Cloud said bowing his head closer to Aeris trembling. He abruptly looks up at Sephiroth. "The cycle of nature and your stupid plan don't mean a thing." Cloud slowly turns his head back to Aeris's sleeping face. "Aeris is gone, Aeris will no longer talk, no longer laugh, cry... or get angry..." He holds her body closer to his and bows his head forward. "What about us... what are WE supposed to do?" Cloud drops Aeris onto the floor. "What about my pain?" He trembles. "My fingers are tingling, my mouth is dry, my eyes are burning!"

Sephiroth moves for the first time. He slowly lowers his arms and looks at Cloud. "What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me you have feelings too?"

Cloud quickly stands up to face Sephiroth. "Of course! Who do you think I am? I love you Sephy!"

"Cloud!"

Sephiroth and Cloud run towards each other through a beautiful field of flowers. Laughing and smiling they hug and run about in circles and…

"CUT! What was that!" Sephy and Cloud looked innocently at each other. "Where did that field come from? Cloud, you dropped Aeris again. Cloud, you love her, she died, and now your dancing through a field of flowers with the very man who killed her!"

"Uh, huh," Cloud nodded.

"Uh, never mind!" The director pounded his head on his desk.

"Scene 91 Puppet - Descent Into Life take 20!"

"Because, you are... a puppet." Jenova said.

"I'm... a puppet?" Cloud thought.

The screen fades in. Aeris's body is resting against one wall of the shrine. Cid stands before her. He looks skyward as if in prayer, then turns and leaves. Yuffie lowers her head silently crying then runs over and hugs Cloud surprising him. She runs off after Cid. Cat Sith hops over to Aeris, shakes his head, and hops off. Barret does the same mentioning a few unmentionable words in the process. Tifa kneels next to Aeris. She reaches up and touches Aeris's face, her hair, then Tifa covers her mouth, squeezes her eyes shut, and runs off. Red XIII, followed by Vincent, are the last to pay their respects as they howl or silently look at Aeris and then Cloud. Cloud walks over to Aeris. He gently picks her up and follows Vincent down the columns. Cloud jumps, and with the extra weight, loses his balance and falls forward onto Vincent. Saving himself and Aeris at the last moment, Cloud holds onto the pillar as Vincent plunges into the water below.

"CUT!"

"Hey Vincent, you okay?" Cloud asked a soaked Vincent as he helped him out of the water. Vincent just stared. "I guess you're fine then… heh…heh….."

Vincent lunged for Cloud who squealed and darted about the room with Vincent shooting at his feet. Cloud frantically searched for an escape and headed for the exit, but unfortunately the camera was in the way.

"Scene 91 Puppet - Descent Into Life take 25."

"Not yet!" Tifa screamed running in. "I still have to put my make-up on. My artist called in sick today."

"Okay, I think Chi and Hotaru can fill in for now."

"Scene 91 Puppet - Descent Into Life take 25."

Cat Sith hops over to Aeris, shakes his head, and hops off. Barret does the same mentioning a few unmentionable words in the process. Tifa kneels next to Aeris. She reaches up and touches Aeris's face, her hair, then Tifa covers her mouth, squeezes her eyes shut, and runs off. Snickers arose from the camera men as Tifa walked by. They zoomed in on the mustache and beard that was poorly drawn on her face. As she jumped from pillar to pillar a "Kick me" sign became visible from underneath her hair. It was signed Cloud, Zack, and Sephy. A little gun and gunblade was drawn in the corner as a signature for Vincent and Squall.

Tifa looked in a mirror and screamed. "What did you do to me?"

Chi and Hotaru replied. "We just made you look better. They say that permanent marker is all the urge in Europe."

"Really?"

"CUT!"

"Scene 91 Puppet - Descent Into…" a farting noise filled the room as the director sat in his chair. A whoopee-cushion lay flat on his seat. "That's IT! I've had it!" The laughter in the room came to an abrupt stop and Cloud, Zack, and Sephy all tried to hide the whoopee-cushion box from view. "I'm going on vacation so there won't be any filming for a year!"

"That's an offal long vacation." Hotaru mentioned to Chi who nodded.

The director just glared at them. "Goodbye and good riddance!" Everyone just stood there as he left slamming the door. He came back in. "GO HOME!"

"OH!" Everyone gathered their things in a pleasant chatter and headed for home.

End of Chapter 1
