Chapter Three
Billy The MONKEY
Now, let's return to the present. Aeris opened the door. "Hi, Aireth!" She said happily. Aireth smiled. She was overjoyed at seeing her best friend again, even thought they saw each other every day of the week. (Since I naturally assume that everyone at fanfiction who writes FF 7 fanfics has played ff 7, I won't describe Aeris' appearance) "Wanna get some milkshake or something?" She asked. "That'd be great!" Aireth replied. They went inside the house.
Aeris's house was almost exactly like her best friend's place. The only difference was that she kept a monkey in her house, instead of a dog. "How is Billy these days?" Aireth asked. Suddenly, they heard a weird, crashing sound which appeared to come from Aeris's bedroom, followed by "Squeek! Squaaak! Jahooooooo!" "He's the same as always." Aeris's said, trying not to burst into laughter over her "pet". "Is he still sleeping in your bedroom?" Aireth asked concerned.
"No, he's not. He is outside in the night. Hunting, and stuff."
"Oh. So that's why all the bananas from the vegetable store suddenly disappeared. Billy ate them." And then the girls couldn't stand it anymore. They burst out laughing so loudly that Billy came jumping out of Aeris' bedroom to check out the noise. "Even though I can prevent him from eating those bananas, I won't do it." Aeris said, looking fondly at her pet. "Where's the fun in having a well behaving monkey in the house?" It seemed like Billy agreed. He suddenly jumped unto Aeris, and started licking her face while making Tarzan-noises.
"Okay, OKAY! I get the point!" She said in a muffled voice. Billy jumped off her. "Now. (huff huff) let's get some milkshake."
"Hey, Aeris. How's it going with that flower collection of yours?" Aireth asked, sipping her milkshake. "It's going quite well, actually. I've finally found a place were it can be safe from Billy's appetite." They looked at the monkey. He was now jumping around on the floor, apparently playing tag with himself.
"I have absolutely no idea how it's possible to play tag with yourself!" Aeris laughed. "Why don't we just ask him? Have you forgotten we can talk to animals?" "Okay, I'll ask him." Aeris said. She held her hands so they made the Seal of the Monkey, "Hey, Billy?" She spoke to him telepathically. Billy answered by making Tarzan-noises, but this time, Aeris understood them. After awhile, she broke the connection between herself and Billy, by undoing the Seal her hands made. "He's saying that he does it by imagining that he is chasing another monkey, nothing more." She said indifferently "Ooookay. Anyone could've told us that much." The girls burst out laughing again.
"By the way, Aireth? Do you wanna sleep over?" Aeris asked a few hours later. They were eating kisu sakana with sauce in Aeris' kitchen. "Yeah! That'd be great!" "You always get what most people would call overexcited whenever I propose something like this." Aeris said smiling. "I like being happy all the time, Aeris!" "I guess that's why we always have such a good time together." Aeris supposed.
