Hey! Firelunamelody here! Yes, well I have a new story. Please R&R!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters (well, except for Serenity)

A/N: This story does not follow FFVII plot. It follows my own.


A Sweet Reunion

A young girl walked through the rose garden of her beloved home. She breathed in the scent she had not smelt in nearly five years.

A pair of crimson eyes followed unseen.

Vincent Valentine was sitting on the balcony of the huge manor that was his home.

It had been his home since Cloud had invited him to live here. How he came to owning it, he wasn't sure. He just hoped that Cloud didn't steal it.

"Vincent? You in here?" Vincent looked towards his open door, a curious Cloud peering into the darkness.

"Vincent, why are you sitting here in the dark?"

Vincent smirked as he watched his friend clumsily make his way out to the balcony.

"I was watching someone walk through the gardens."

"Who?"

Vincent just shrugged. "A girl. Looked about nineteen."

Cloud face lit up. "Ooh, she's finally here!"

It was Vincent's turn to look confused.

"Who's 'she'?"

"Come down and I'll show you!"

Hesitantly, Vincent allowed his eager companion drag him downstairs.

A subtle knock echoed through the empty entrance hall.

Reeve Tuesti, awoken by the sound, yawned and went to answer the door.

"Hello?"

"Reeve!"

Serenity Strife looked at her boss through emerald eyes, her smile still reflecting her youth.

"Well, well, Serenity. It looks like you've been through hell."

Serenity was wearing black pants and hunting boots, a black jacket with a red top underneath and she was sporting a lot of bandages.

"Well, being a mercenary does come with its risks, yanno."

Reeve sighed. "Come on in, Cloud should be down in a minute."

Dropping her bags in the foyer to be picked up later, Serenity looked at her home.

"Ya think that Cloud would have done something to make this place a bit more homey. Still looks too rich for my likings." Serenity made a face and turned towards the living room where a commotion seemed to be stirring up.

"Oh come on! I had it first!"

Reno was waving a chocolate bar high in the air, where Yuffie couldn't reach it.

"If you can reach it, you can have it."

"Sounds fair to me." A shuriken flew through the air and snatched the bar out of Reno's hand.

It then lodged itself in the wall next to Serenity, who pulled off the chocolate bar, unwrapped it and began to eat it.

"Hey! No fair!" Yuffie cried, pouting.

"Cool it, Kisaragi." Serenity smirked.

Reno looked at the girl, finding it had to place her.

"Um, who are you again?"

Serenity and Yuffie looked at each other, then dropped on the floor laughing.

Cloud, who had just appeared, looked as if he was trying not to laugh.

"Reno, this is Serenity, my sister. You remember? She was Reeve's hired gun in the last war we fought in. You had a crush on her."

Reno suddenly remembered the sixteen year old, who had manage to take out half an army with one bomb.

"Man, have you grown." Reno said, studying her carefully.

Serenity snickered, watching Reno's red face.

That's when she noticed someone with an awestruck look on his face, watching from behind her brother.

That's the stubborn little bitch whom I was forced to train three years ago?

Vincent found it hard to believe that that little snitch had turned into a clever, quick-witted young lady.

"Hello, Vincent." Serenity said calmly. "It's been a while."


First chappie done! As for my other story... um, I've hit writers block.

Ah, well.
