Chapter 7


" What cha' sayin'? You gonna' go to Church? " Cid exclaimed bewilderedly.

" Why? You got a problem with that? " Cloud straightened his back and crossed his arms.

Gaah. Just let me be in peace! I think I'm really in great need of consulting right now. Cloud thought, while still panting in his head.

" No.. It's just.. Unusual. You know, Rare.. Extraordinary.. " Cid trailed off, as if finding the right words to describe his Unusually-Rare-and-Out-of-Extraordinary-Friend.

" In other words, Strange. " Shera completed the sentence and beamed a smile to her 'Honey'.

" Aww! So cute my huggle-puff! You really know me too well. " He said, pinching off her cheeks.

" Uhh. " Cloud said in a disgusted tone. " Huggle, Huggle, Huggle! Gosh, Why are people these days so obsessed with love? " He mumbled.

" Aww. Our Handsome Cloud getting all worked up just because he doesn't have any Love life right now. "

" Awwwww. " Cid and Shera pouted together as if teasing Cloud.

" Oh, Why don't you ask him already? " Shera motioned to Cid. On which Cloud frowned in to.

" Ah Oh yeah! "

" WHAT? "

" Oh well, Easy boy. We're just wonderin'.. " Cid paused and eyed Shera that almost tells wait-dear-this-is-some-boy-talk look and dragged Cloud outside just at the same balcony he was in some moments ago. " Before that.. Where.. WERE YOU JUST A WHILE AGO? "

" You bashtard. " Cid exclaimed.

" What now? "

Noo. I can't tell him I've been hearing Ghosts! He'll think I'm crazy.

" What is it that you wanna ask me? " Cloud said hopefully changing the subject.

" Oh. Dude, Are ya single? "

Cloud nearly choked himself out of nothing. " N-no.. I mean, Yes. Why? " What? What no? The fvck. Mentally engaged to a Voice? Just how crazy.. OH FFFFFUUU! Hey brain, STFU.

" Oh! Great then! I'll tell Shera! " Cid winked as he prepared to leave and go back to his Huggle-puff.

" What? " He narrowed his eyes as though had it all figured out already. Which he already did.

" Don't you ever! Ever ever ever evah think of it! " Cloud shouted while watching his good old friend run away.

He sighed. Again, he's here. He once more felt the wind make a rush to his face. He closed his eyes dramatically, as if he just found peace.

" HEYYYYYAAAAH! " Cloud jumped as he felt an arm sat in his Broad Shoulder.

" Damn Noctis! I'm concentratinggg! " He said to the Prince who showed in a Black Tuxedo and a Red Tie holding Two Glasses of Champagne.

" Here 'brodaah! " He handed the other glass to the Blonde while raising his and looked up at the Sky.

" It's a fine night, Don't you think? I think I've arrived a little too late but, must I say! They got such a fine view of the Sky here.. " He trailed off. " Makes me remember when I was back at the Kingdom. We too, got a nice view of the Sky there. " He chuckled.

Cloud can't help but be troubled on what his Dear Friend has said. He knows Noctis too well that he recognizes that there are more than a Meaning at what he has said. But Oh well. Let's just leave that to it. I'm too troubled myself to help others.

" So.. Why are you here? " He asked, totally ignoring what just Noctis has said. Ugh, It's not like it needs much of an attention anyway.. I think.

" What kind of question is that Strife? 'Course I got invited! " He grinned.

" Then why is it that I haven't seen you until now? "

" Well that is because I just arrived, Sir. " He chuckled. " Why so curious, eh? "

" Just asking. " Well duuh, I don't have any topic to say anyway. It's not like I'd just tell him about the Ghost Incident I just had a few moments ago.

" Well if you're here, I think you've seen the Turks already.. "

" Ohohoho. Rufus? Haven't seen him. I asked the Red head Turk and he said that he's in Costa Del Sol. Damn guy getting all the vacation. " Noctis answered the supposed question Cloud was interpreting.

Cloud nodded and laughed. " I'm kind of surprised though, He left his favorite Turks here and left with just plain guards and of course.. Women. " Noctis added.

" He reaaaaaa-lly did indulged himself in women. I wonder on when would that guy find his Ms. Right. I think it's about damn time. Poor women just keeps on getting played on. Tsk. Tsk. "

Noctis was so taken aback by the words Cloud just blurted out. " God Bless us Gaia! Since when did you know about things like that? And duh! 'Course, The women are paid by a large amount of money. Besides, that's their job. And they're not poor because of it. " He paused.

" And.. I personally think that they enjoy licking Rufus' feet as high as much as the amount of Gil they're being paid by. " He laughed.

" But still, I think it's kind of wrong. I, Personally hate those kind of women the most. So Easy. " Cloud said coldly.

" And by Gaia Noctis! I'm not a Cave Folk to not to know those kind of things. "

Noctis laughed again. " But it's just Strange to hear those 'kind of words' being blurted by that mouth of yours. Hahaha! "

" I see to it that you're enjoying the party, Gentlemen. "

" Yo Reeve! Haven't seen you in awhile! Thanks for the Invitation! And sorry for running late. Had errands to ran into. " Noctis grinned.

" Don't mention it. So then, I take it that you just arrived? "

" Yeah. Sorry 'bout that. By the way, Nice house! " Noctis raised his hands and formed it into a fist with his Thumbs up.

" Hehe. Why, thank you. It's a pity you haven't seen the very Encore of this Event. I take it that you're just minutes split away. " Reeve chuckled. He then averted his eyes to the Blonde boy who has the look in his face that says Encore-of-what? He smiled.

" Oh. By the look of your face Strife, I take it that you haven't seen, neither heard any of the Announcement made earlier, ne? "

Oops. Got meh. " Uh.. Yeah. Sorry bout that. I got too deep in my own thoughts earlier and found myself wandering again at your Garden. Magnificent Fountain by the way.. " He trailed off, wishing that this wouldn't affect anything about their Business deal.

" That's sad. Well, Maybe it's still not the time for you to meet- "

" Sir Tuesti. Sorry for being rude but, Our dear ma'am is currently being swarmed by your Guests and she requested for an assistance. " A Man also in a suit interrupted.

" Oh. Is that so? " He chuckled. " Hahaha! Okay then. I'll be there in minute. " He motioned to the man and had him go back first.

" It really has a nice view here doesn't it? " Reeve said, looking up. " The Sky. " He smiled.

" You should go to her Church. It has it's own garden, and it holds a very amusing sight. Especially when you look up there. "

Cloud was surprised. Great! Thank you Gaia that you just saved me more time in finding a Church. " Really? And where does this church is located? "

" Yeah, I would love to go in there once in awhile too. " Noctis grinned.

" There. " Reeve pointed out a certain place not too far at the Mansion, But far enough to have it seen by only in Shadows from the view.

The boys were ecstatic. It's in a Hill! For gummy bears' sake.

" So then Gentlemen, I shall go now. Enjoy the party! " Reeve exclaimed and walked away.

" A church.. In a hill? Well that's kind of cute. " Noctis remarked.

Cloud laughed. " What? Cute? The heck Noctis. "

" What is so wrong with that? Heh. " Noctis snorted. Why? Is it wrong to think it's cute?
