FINAL FANTASY VII

'A Countdown To New Year'

"Hey Cloud, would you like another beer?", asked Tifa.

"Sure, why the hell not?! It is New Year's Eve after all!", he replied.

The whole party had gathered at Tifa's bar, Seventh Heaven, in the big steam punk city of Midgar to celebrate the new year. So far everything was going fine, and they were all having a great time.

"Y'know Cloud, y-you're my best friend...", slurred a drunken Barrett.

"Yeah, you're m-my best friend too...", Cloud stuttered in response.

"C'mon everyone! Let's do the conga!", shouted Cid.

"Yeah, let's all go to Gongaga!", yelled Cait Sith.

Everyone looked at him with a confused expression.

"What?!", he groaned.

Soon everyone was in a conga line, dancing and yelling.

"Dah dah dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah dah dah dah dah!", they screamed.

Just then Rufus arrived with Heidegger and Scarlet.

"Oh God, what are those pathetic AVALANCHE members up to now?", he mumbled.

"G'ya ya ya! It looks like their doing the conga, sir.", Heidegger laughed.

"President Rufus, Heidegger, Scarlet! Glad you could make it you guys. C'mon and join in the fun!", Cloud said cheerfully.

"Argh, I refuse to go along with any of this nonsense! Heidegger, Scarlet, let's move out! Heidegger? Scarlet?", Rufus looked around noticing that they too had joined the conga line. "Dammit!"

The clock had now ticked down to 11:55pm. Everyone joined hands and shaked with excitement.

"Wow, its almost the new year! I'm so excited!", exclaimed Aeris.

"Yeah, I'm sure glad to be saying bye bye to this year!", Cloud agreed.

"Alright everyone! Get ready!", shouted Barrett.

Then they all chanted.

"10... 9... 8... 7... 6..."

Suddenly a piece of the ceiling fell down onto Aeris, crushing her.

"Oh my God! They killed Aeris!", screamed Tifa.

"You beasts!", yelled Cloud.

They continued with their chanting.

"3... 2... 1... Happy New Year!"

"Well Cloud, do you think we'll have more success this year?", Tifa asked.

"I don't know Tifa, I just don't know", he replied.

Cid walked over to Cloud and Tifa looking pretty bumed out.

"Uh Cloud, Barrett just puked up all over President Rufus. Could we get a cloth or something?"

"Urgh!", Cloud sighed.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
