Aeris's Pointless Adventure
Part I: Aeris & Lucrecia
written by K-chan
Her fading green eyes were barely opened, but she continued to strain through the pain and suffering, just long enough to pass on her last words to the young girl, whose embrace kept her in reality. Her hand reached up to the girl's face and lightly touched the youthful cheek, whispering hoarsely, "Aeris..." She felt the wetness trickling down her fingers and felt a pang of guilt for putting the girl through such deep emotions.
"Please say no more," Aeris wept, holding the woman's hand, "You must save your strength."
"No... I must speak. I must tell you... Aeris, you must leave this place... to find your parents. They're still alive--I know they are. You must find them... and also... him... Sephiroth. You have to stop him... or else the Planet... will be destroyed..."
"My parents?! Sephiroth?!" she repeated, shock at having heard about them after all these years. "Auntie LuLu, what do you mean?!" Lucrecia inwardly cringed at the nickname but remained still in her wounded state, closing her eyes to the world, and drew in a deep breath. Aeris suddenly gasped at her sudden action and cried out loudly, "AUNTIE!!" She threw herself over the dead woman and cried and cried till her throat ached. The one in pain was not her, but...
Beneath the girl's sudden weight, Lucrecia muffled scream came through, "Good Lord, I'm NOT DEAD!!! Just really, really, really, really (times infinity) EXHAUSTED!!!" Aeris straightened up, drying her eyes like a little child afraid of being left alone. "Now be a good girl and find your parents, and also stop my son for destroying the world. It's a tough job, but SOMEbody has to do it." Aeris obediently nodded, still trying to get over the fact that her aunt was okay. "But first, head to Nibelhiem," she said, "There, you will find help on your journey."
Two hours later... after booking a flight to Nibelhiem and packing the necessities, Aeris stepped out of the house but stopped short on the pathway. She was already feeling homesick, glancing back at her aunt's house. She looked up at the window of the second floor, where she could see Lucrecia smiling and waving to her. Aeris waved back, and with a gesture from the woman, she turned around and left the secure place she came to know as home for the past ten years.
Lucrecia watched Aeris's form disappear from sight before jumping out of bed in glee and slight pain. Determined, she dragged her aching body to the phone and dialed all her friends. "Finally, no husband, no son, no niece," she giggled, "Party time!!"
