Okay, new story here. I'm trying to combine all the mini shows I've written into one big story about the Final Fantasy VII crew working at the radio station. There are so many shows but they're not long enough that I'd consider making a place for them on this site. So I shall create a new story incorporating them in. I hope you like it. ;)

Cloud stands outside a large grey building, staring at the giant radio tower on top of it. He shifts his paper stack from one arm to the other and heads for the door. As he opens it and steps in, he's bombarded by noises of music, talking, phones ringing, and people running from room to room.

He sighs and continues towards the elevator. Elena spots him and runs up to him.

"Oh good, you're here."

"Of course I'm here, I gotta show to do." He gives her a slightly annoyed look. She doesn't take notice of it.

"Did you get the reports on our stats?"

"Yeah, I did."

"We're number ten on the charts! Life with Birds and Beasties is up there and Soaring with Cid is getting no reviews!"

"Uh, I think that's a bad thing, Elena."

"Shinra Station HQ has requested more shows to boost our ratings." Elena blabbers on. Cloud lifts a hand to silence her.

"I know! Listen, the only reason I'm doing this is because I owe Aeris. Now I'm going up to my recording box and I have to be on in twenty minutes. I have to go now."

And with that, Cloud takes the stairs. He trots up them quickly but steadily as not to run out of breath. He reaches the forth floor and opens the door. It's a little quieter up here, but he can hear the other DJs talking and chatting away. He enters a room labeled, 'Cloud Strife. Player's Corner' and sits down a microphone.

As he is getting his headset on, he watches a hostile Valentine walk by and catches a look of scrutiny before he disappears down the hallway. Cloud shudders but perks up as Tifa knocks on the door before entering.

"Hey you're here."

"Of course how could I turn down a new paycheck?" He grins at here, trying very hard to talk to her and not her chest.

"I think it's great that you've got your own show and all, but you didn't really tell me what it was going to be about. Is it a game show?"

"Not really."

"Is it a children's show?"

"I wouldn't recommend it for children under the age of sixteen."

"Huh?" Tifa gives him a puzzled look. Cloud looks away quickly.

"Look, just give it a listen and you'll get the idea of it real quick. I've got to go over some stuff before I go on air so…" He let the rest dangle and Tifa nodded with some suspicion.

"Well, Ok." She turned to leave, but Cloud stopped her.

"Hey, uh…I saw Vincent go by. He didn't look too…he didn't look his usual gloomy self."

"Um yeah, he's got a show on just before you." Tifa begins to play with a strand of hair and leans on one foot.

"Before me? I go on in fifteen."

"Ummhmm, his show is only, like five minutes or so. You'll be on schedule."

"Why are talking like a valley girl?" Cloud asked as he wondered about Tifa's sudden speech change.

"Huh? Am I? I didn't realize that I was." Tifa stands up straight again and puts her hair down.

"Oookay. I gotta prepare." Cloud says slowly, throwing her a slightly worried look.

"Ok, ciao." She walks out and shuts the door quietly. Cloud turns on his equipment just in time to hear Vincent's music.

FBN7 and World Broadcasting presents…Great Landscapes and Holidays with your host, Vincent Valentine.

Vincent's smooth, mesmerizing voice fills Cloud's earphones as he wonders, "Landscapes and Holidays. Since when would he ever go on one? Welcome folks, let me show you what it's like six feet under in the cheapest room you'll never check out of."

He snickers to himself as dark man continues.

"Hello and welcome. Today's Landscapes and Holidays episode will take you to Costa del Sol."

The music to the beach wonderland starts up. "You'll never see a better description for a getaway, 'Costa del Sol, luxury under the sky where the sun meets the sand.' Stay at the Costa del Sol hotel and get a great room with a view. Head down to the bar and try one of their fruit drinks called 'the Sunset'. It's one of their signature drinks. Talk about anything you want to the waitress, don't worry she can't speak English very well."

"Don't forget to pick up some great items and armor at the seaside shops. Finally, a great place to see on the horizon is Cloud's Villa. It's the biggest estate on the shore, you can't miss it."

Cloud hears the distaste in Vincent's voice as he speaks. "He will welcome you to his summer parties with open arms, for ladies that is. Guys, you might just want to admire the nice roof tiles or something."

"Hey!" Cloud snapped. He knew it was useless since Vincent couldn't hear him, then he shrugged. "Well, I can't help it. I love ladies."

"That's about all the time we have today. Stay tuned for Cloud's Player's Corner. I'm Vincent Valentine and this has been Great Landscapes and Holidays."

Cloud gets a rap on his window on the other side from the techies. It's Elena and Rude telling him he's got one minute. He nods.

"Hmph. So what if I'm a ladies' man. He could be too if he just stopped pinning after that Lucretia. I'll show him what will bring in the ratings."

Cloud sets out his script and waits for Elena to give him the signal. Rude starts up the music to his show.

"Hello and welcome everybody. My name is Cloud, but on this show you can call me 'Player'. This show will bring you some juicy advice on how to become a player, like me. Let's just hope the censors don't get a hold of us first."

Cloud leans back in his chair and brings the mike with him. "First, I know you guys think you're the scene with the flashy clothes and shoes, but I'm telling you from the ladies' point-of-view, you're about as flashy as a night light. So I'm here to rescue from fashion disaster in this installment of Player's Corner.

"First rule: Don't do too much leather. A jacket is cool, leather pants are cool, a leather steel studded S&M outfit is cool. Not cool…all those things combined. Pay attention to what woman you're trying to impress, leather will not work for those animal rights girls. Same goes with fur."

Cloud pauses and looks at Elena and Rude giving him the nod that things are running smoothly. He continues.

"Second rule: Don't do too much black. Yes, it's slimming and sexy, but unless you're field interest is the gothic type you'll just look like you're depressed and unable to color coordinate yourself. "

"Third rule: Don't overplay the sports jerseys. Have your handy Midgar Mallets jerseys ready for the weekend rolls, but have some dress pants and business shirts handy. The night life is changing for the sophisticated. Honeys want you to look like you know what you're doing, a nice seductive business transaction."

"Finally, a little kinkiness is allowed. Guys well positioned hats and cups can make a girl go crazy wondering what's holding that item up well, but don't freak her out with monkey costumes or diapers. That's just wrong. And please leave this advice for the Bedroom Only!"

Cloud flips over his page. "Alright, I'd like to say a few things about the future of this show. We will be having surprise guests and letters addressed on air so I won't just be berating you guys out there. Ladies, I will have some segments for you where you will be doing the talking and having your say. I may be a player, but I'm also a gentleman. Uh, I'll have some products and materials that will lead you on the right road to becoming the ultimate player and as always, I'll dish out the regular rules and rights of playerhood."

"So," Cloud looks up and jumps slightly as he meets a red faced Tifa on the other side of the sound proof window. "Uh, so until tomorrow keep tight and I'll lay a little more down for ya. I gotta go, my baby's waiting for me."

Tifa frowns even deeper and he gives her a small sheepish smile. "So until next time, play it good, play it hard, and play it right. I'm out." He takes off his earphones and leaves the rest to the two black suited figures in the other room.

He watches as Tifa points for him to leave the room and meet her outside in the hallway. He sighs and follows her instructions. She leaves the other room. As he gets out there, he braces himself for the storm of words already coming out.

"Just what kind of show do you think you're doing?! That was just abdominal and distasteful and-and wrong!" Tifa started in.

Cloud shrugged. "Well, the station wants ratings I'm telling you this will bring them in. Look, I didn't do anything wrong. I am simply giving out advice to those in need of knowing how to treat a woman's interests."

"No, you're promoting promiscuous behavior. This is about how to handle dating multiple women!"

"And he knows a thing or two about that doesn't he?" Vincent injected as he walked by. Cloud shrank back as the handsome man threw him a venomous look.

"What's with him? Why does he always do that to me?" Cloud asks aloud.

"That is not the subject at the moment, but just to let you know my opinion I think it's because unlike you, he has one woman and one alone that he treats as a gentleman should and believes that what you are doing is disgraceful and disgusting and-

"No, I think that's what you think and that's not it. He's always looked at me like that even before he knew about my relationship with Aeris and you." Cloud continued and shook his head looking down at the ground in thought.

Tifa gasped. "Just what does that mean both Aeris and I?"

"No, I think he has something against me and my looks or something. He's always staring at me like, 'I wish I was like him'. Or perhaps it's something else…"

"Are you listening to me?" Tifa waves her hand in front of him. "Hey!"

Elena comes out of the booth. "Okay Cloud, it recorded well. Good job in there."

"Excuse me!" Tifa shouts still not being heard.

"That's great, listen I'm going to need an assistant to book guests and manage mail. Do you think I can get that?" Cloud starts walking up the hall with Elena. Rude comes up behind and nods.

"Yup, that can be arranged. We should be able to get the ratings by tomorrow afternoon." Elena begins to scribble some notes down in her organizer.

"Thanks I'll be going now. Do I need anything else?" Cloud hits the button to the elevator.

"Yeah, you need to take the stairs." Tifa came up behind him and grabs his collar. She kicks the stairwell door open and tosses him down the stairs.

"YEEEAAAAAHHHH!"

End.

Notes- I hope this works out well. I've got a few shows going on in this story. Great Landscapes and Holidays, Player's Corner (if you must know how that idea came to mind was that one game play of mine had me giving all the character hip hop names and such i.e. Big Daddy and Player)

There will be a show for Aeris called Gardening Tips in Midgar, Bugenhagen's Word of the Day, and Tifa's Workout. I may add some more but I'll be busy creating the outward workings of the radio station environment. Until next time, See Ya!

P.S. Read and Review!
