Dear Mom,

I'm sorry I haven't written in a long time. Things have been very crazy lately. Before I tell you though, I have a question. What if you got the chance to re-raise me? Would you take? If I was turned into a baby again? If I told you it really happened would you believe me? Well I guess that's more than one huh?

There's nothing to worry about though, I promise. You remember my friend Zack? It was his fault. He found a materia and it was the legendary Youth materia.

The Youth materia changes the outer body to the form of a baby while the mind remains the same age. You're body slowly starts to age day by day though and it's not like normal aging. You age by years. The longer you have the materia effects on you the more you age. At one point I was aging three years a day.

Anyways, Zack had been sent out on a mission and too much was going on for me to fins time and write you back. Once Zack did get back we found a cure and now I'm the original me.

Don't get upset with Zack. He was trying really hard to get back here to Shin-Ra while on his mission. He told me he was always thinking about helping me. Besides, there aren't any side effects either.

"What else should I put? Since I told her what happened there's gotta be more to include than this." Cloud said aloud to himself.

"What the hell! When was this taken!" Zack yelled from the other side of the room.

"Let me see." Cloud said with a sigh. Zack came over with a piece of photograph paper that had some of the images from his phone printed off. Zack said Cloud needed to send his mom a few pictures of himself as a baby to her.

When Zack showed Cloud the picture he was freaking out about Cloud became confused over it too.

"When was this taken?" Zack asked him.

"It kinda looks like Kunsel's guest bedroom." Cloud said looking closer at the picture.

"Hm? Hey, I guess it does." Zack agreed. "Wait that means that sneaky bastard took my phone again!"

"What's with you guys calling each other names?" Cloud asked him. "Besides you still have your phone we just printed those pictures from it."

Just then Zack's phone went off saying he had a new message. He opened it and read it.

Hey, Zack I figured you just now found that picture I took of you and cloud from a couple days ago when you were back at my place. You're welcome.

"How the hell does he do that!" Zack exclaimed. He walked away from where Cloud was writing his letter and started talking to himself about how much of a stalker Kunsel was. (1)

"Have fun over there." Cloud mostly said to himself. He turned back to the letter and began writing again.

Zack wants me to put some pictures in so you can see that this all really happened. Not that I don't think you won't! Zack just wants you to see how "cute" I was.

Well I suppose that's all for me. How are you doing? I'd like to hear about your adventures too.

Love,

Cloud

"There." Cloud said sitting down his pencil. He held up the letter and reread it.

"Hey you're missing something!" Zack said from over Cloud's shoulder.

"What?"

Zack snatched the letter from cloud's hands and wrote something at the bottom.

"There you go!" Zack said with a smile.

P.S. ZACK SAYS HI!

"Zack you're such a nerd!" Cloud said laughing. "There's a huge difference between our handwriting!"

"Yup, that way she'll know it's true! Besides you love me and my nerdy ways." He ended the sentence with a kiss on Cloud's temple. "You should tell her about us too."

"M-maybe next time." Cloud said with a blush. He folded up the letter and put it in an envelope. He chose three pictures and put them in it too.

"Which ones you choose?" Zack asked from over the blonde's shoulder again.

"The one Kunsel took, the one with me and that doll of you from when this all began, aka the one you wanted me to choose, and the one Aerith sent you."

"The one with you looking at the flowers?"

"Yeah." Cloud finished sealing the letter and put the stamp and address on it.

"Finished!" Zack yelled. He grabbed the letter from Cloud's hands and ran towards the door. "Come on babe let's go!" Zack ran out the door leaving cloud to follow.

They ran down the hallway laughing. Sure they got a lot of stares but that wasn't really new to them. Maybe they were staring at Cloud more than anything. He seemed much happier than ever before and most people, if not all, knew him to be the silent blonde one who was always being "molested" by Zack. (2) Seeing him run down the hallway with a bright smile on was the last thing anyone ever expected to see.

When Zack reached the elevator Cloud was a few feet behind him. The last thing anyone on that floor saw was Cloud jumping into Zack's open arms then the elevator doors closing.

Zack stood their holding his favorite person in the world. The person he could call his boyfriend. The person he could shower with love and live with forever. He had never seen the blonde so happy before. Maybe it was because this whole situation had shown him that life can end sooner than we think. Whatever the reason, Zack knew one thing for sure.

I want to see you smile like this forever more love.

Author's Notes:

(1) My friend and me make fun of Kunsel cause he sends Zack messages nonstop and takes up most of his inbox! XD. We have this thing, "Lock up ya Zacks, hide ya dumb apples and hide ya Hollander T-shirts cause Kunsel's rapen 'em all!" xDD. My friend call her Reno and they call me Cloud, J

(2) I'm known for the same thing at school. "The anti-social kid who get molested by Annamae." A lot of people know me as Jailbait too. Heh heh! ^^' Oh my friend Annamae illustrated a children's book called "Lisa B's Cookie Tree" Check it out sometime! She's really good at drawing!

So this is it my young, and maybe some older creepers out there, friends. I thank each and ever one of you for all you have done, including all the reviews and helpful things when my life was going down hill.

It still is really… Things have gotten a thousand times worse in all honesty. It's scary living my life at this point in time. Those of you who have parents out of work, can't afford food, bankruptcy stuff, I'm with you all! I hope we all pull through this hell and make it! We can do this! I know it gets hard but it'll be okay! J I also hope anyone else having a difficult time in life gets through it all the same!

I might get a job soon to help out my family so if I do updates might be slow… again. XD. But that probably won't be till next summer.

Thanks:

TO EVERYONE! THANK YOU FOR HELPING OUT THROUGH MY TOUGH TIMES, REVIEWING, FAVORITING, ALERTING, ALL THAT GOOD STUFF!

I REALLY DO WISH THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOU ALL! THANKS AGAIN!

Extra:

Cloud's mom opened her letter from her only and dearly loved son. She missed him so much and couldn't wait to read his letter. When she opened it she noticed there were pictures in the envelope. She saved the pictures for last and read the letter first.

"OH MY SHIVA!" She exclaimed. If Cloud didn't hear her all the way in Midgar that was probably because Zack was busy talking or doing… other things. Not that Cloud's mom knew about that yet…

"Miss Strife!" Tifa exclaimed as she hurried through the front door of the house. "Is everything okay?"

"Cloud's letter came," She said with disbelief.

"That's great!" Tifa said with a smile. She hurried over to were Miss Strife stood and carefully grabbed the letter from her.

"It's what's in the letter that surprises me."

Tifa read the letter the shook her head.

"He's joking." She said. "Wait, the pictures! They're in there right?" Tifa asked referring to the envelope the letter came in. Miss Strife took out the pictures and she and Tifa looked at them together.

"It really happened." Miss Strife muttered.

"Aw, he really is cute!" Tifa said with a smile. "Hey who's this?" She then asked pointing to a picture of a young Cloud sleeping next to an older teen with black hair.

"That's Zack," Miss Strife informed her. "He's the reason me poor baby was turned into a baby again!"

"P.S. Zack says hi!" Tifa read from the bottom of the letter.

"I don't care what he says! Not right now anyways!" Miss Strife exclaimed.

Oh dear, look out Cloud, you might wanna leave Zack out of your letters for a while.
