Cloud finally found the right words and said slowly, "James was a good comrade in battle and out of battle. He fought a good fight against Baal and he gave his life to protect me, Nanoe, you, and the whole world against the forces of evil. Thane, I'm deeply sorry but, your dad is dead. His last wish for me to take care of you." Thane looked at Cloud with his mouth wide open and his eyes big a saucers. Tears ran down his face and then he said "Why? I want daddy now!" Thane yelled the last sentence as loud as he could and he broke down crying. Nanoe and Cloud held him close to them and let him cry.

About an hour later, Thane settled down and he just sat there in between Nanoe and Cloud. Nanoe put one of her hands on Thane's shoulder and said "Don't worry James in a better place now. Your not the only one who lost his parents at a young age. Our mom and dad were both killed when we were two years old." "Really?" Thane asked. "Yep." Cloud said. Thane sat back and looked out the window and tried to think about his dad.

Cloud stood up and went into the kitchen and made himself a samich (sandwich). "What are you doing Cloud?" Nanoe asked. "Makin me a samich!" Cloud said. "It's pronounced sandwich! Not samich!" Nanoe said. "I'll pronounce it however I wanna!" Cloud said. Nanoe laughed and said no more because she knew it was useless. Cloud came back into the living room and sat down and ate his samich. Thane stared at Cloud because Cloud was just weird like that. "So, how did you meet my dad?" Thane asked. "I met him in a crowded caravan and I was forced to sit on him. He has a boney lap." Cloud said.

Thane laughed at that and said "So what did you guys do before he died?" "They kissed!" Nanoe said. Cloud began to have a coughing fit and said "How'd you know?" "Baal was watching you guys through his mystic portal thingy. He laughed his ass off when he saw you two kiss!" Nanoe said, she began to laugh her ass off, too. Thane stared at Cloud and said "EEEEEWWWWWWW!" Cloud blushed and said "That was a kiss to keep me at bay! I'm not gay!" Nanoe laughed even harder and Thane laughed as hard as Nanoe. "IT'S NOT FUNNY!" Cloud yelled. Cloud stood up and ran out the door and back to the water plantation and sat down on one of the buildings.

Cloud was pissed and sad at those two and he wanted to get away from them both for awhile. Cloud laid back and fell asleep an the ground.
