Cloud: So, where'd you go?

He looked away and almost pouted.

Cloud: You have a bruise on your cheek.

Me: You noticed.

Cloud: What happened?

Me: Cloud, I didn't blow you off.

Cloud: Yes you did.

Me: You have plenty of friends, you were hurt, and whenever I try to talk to you, you give me the cold shoulder or it's just plain awkward. And besides, it's not everyday that I get to see my cousins. I see you almost every day.

Cloud: You're avoiding the question. What happened to your cheek?

Me: Well, after I told you that I was going out with my cousins, Sephiroth suggested that we go to this club. But Yazoo insisted that we go to this 'really cute' coffee shop that opened up, and that it was too early in the day to go to a club.

He raised an eyebrow.

Cloud: Is he gay?

Me: Yazoo? I think he might be. Acts like it.

Cloud: Go on.

Me: Well, we went to the café and...

Waitress: So what'll it be?

The sun was awfully bright today, I don't know why Yazoo insisted we sit outside.

Loz: Water.

Yazoo: Loz, you cannot come to a place like this and just order water. I'll have a frapp, with extra whipped cream.

She turned and looked at Sephiroth.

Sephiroth: Nothing for me thanks, the doc says I'm strictly caffeine free for the next three months.

Kadaj: I'll have a half-caf. With cream.

Me: Regular black.

Me: I have to go to the restroom. Be right back.

As I was walking into the café, guess who I run into but that Allison chick.

The Royal Bitch: Hello Tiiiifa. (short i sound)

Me: It's not Tiiiiiifa, it's Teefa.

The Royal Bitch: Teefa isn't a good name for you. Makes it sound like an old person sounds like they're saying 'I lost my teeth.' 'Cept, it's, 'I lost my Teef.'

Me: Ha...ha?

Me: You have a big nose.

The Royal Bitch: Huh?

Me: Well, I just noticed, you have a really big nose. Like, you could shove a cow up there.

The Royal Bitch: Look who's talking.

Me: Me?

The Royal Bitch: You're just like your mother.

Me: Why does everyone keep saying that?!

Yazoo: Good question.

I didn't even notice him come up. He still had his joking face on, but there was some seriousness in his eyes.

Me::turns back to Allison:: Mind telling me how?

The Royal Bitch: Sure. You're a bitch.

Me: My mother's dead.

The Royal Bitch: Your mother's a dead bitch.

Yazoo: I know she did not just go there!

Me: Yazoo, you're not helping.

Me: What do you have against me? Honestly, it's as if everyone in the world hates me! What did I do wrong?

Allison: Hmm, let's see. Let's start off by how much of a slut you've been.

Me: Remind me why everyone thinks I'm a slut.

Allison: You stole him from me!

Me: Who?

Allison: Cloud! Duh. You think you can just come along and take him away from someone just like that?

Me: He's way out of your league.

Allison: Ha, that's a laugh. You should be the last one to say that. I've been trying to get him to notice me for years!

Me: You haven't even noticed him for a year!

Allison: You know it was just pity love right? Like he actually cared for some other reason than that. I honestly don't blame him. Look at you. You're just so hopeless.

I took this opportunity to glance down, knowing what I would see. My usual attire. No big surprise there. I don't really have the budget to change it.

Of course this was a bad mistake, for when I looked up, Miss Bitch's foot collided right with my cheek.

Yazoo: Oh no you didn't girlfriend!

I groaned.

Cloud: So she kicked you in the face? Hmm. Why didn't you fight back.

Me: Please, she's a psycho bitch. I'd be lucky to bruise her hand with my face.

Cloud: Sounds like one fun filled day.

Me: Yeah. I never got my coffee though.

Cloud: I hope Yazoo got his.

Me: Oh, yeah, he did. If he didn't it would be a second edition of Corpse Brides on Crack. Except this one with a lot more blood.

Cloud: So, did your cousins...mention me...by any chance.

Me: Don't worry. They were so pissed off over the Robert ordeal that I'd figure I'd pity you and tell them we're still together.

Cloud: Thank god!

Me: Hey! They aren't that bad!

Cloud: Are you kidding? They gave me a good beating just for going out with you. Lord knows what they would do if they found out that...

Me: If they found out what?

Cloud: Huh?

Me: What?

Cloud: Wha?

Me: Stop.

Cloud: Whatever.

Me: What do you do for fun?

Cloud: Dunno. Stuff.

Me: Well now that we've specified that...

Cloud: We could call Barret.

Me: We could. Or we could...

Cloud: Call Barret!

Me: Sounds...fun. Loads and...loads of fun.

The doorbell rang. Twice. Someone has no patience.

I went to answer it.

There was this really buff dude (a.k.a. Barret Wallace) and these two blonde chicks whom I've never seen before in my life. They had boobs so big you had to stand two feet away just in case if they were to turn all of a sudden, they wouldn't send you flying into a wall.

Barret: Is, uhh, Spike home.

I was dazed for second, but shook my head violently.

Me: Yeah, he's in the kitchen.

All three brushed past me and into the kitchen.

Barret: Yo, Spike-o, look who I brought.

I could see it now. This Barret guy is giving Cloud a few winks and hints, and Cloud's smiling this great smile. This is making me sick.

I bolted.

I left the door open too.

I felt like I was going to throw up, only, I knew I wasn't.

I ran to the park.

And who should I find there, but a crying Aeris Gainsborough.
