Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy VII

Hello again!

I don't have time for much of a foreword this week (I'm currently living with no wifi and am using the bus' as we speak!) but a thank you to my reviewers Lilly, Sue, tininabar7 and esobb. I cannot stress how much I apprecitate your reviews!

Like I said, I'm on a bit of a squeeze this week so if there are any grammar issues/typos then fear not! I'll correct them as soon as I have access to the internet for more than ten minutes.

So, please enjoy!

Phone, Part 2

You have 3 new messages:

"Hey Vinnie, I have a message for you here."

'This is new.'

"Yeah, so Reeve wants to meet you and me on Monday. I don't know what it was for, but it sounds super serious."

'Interesting'

"So you'd better make it on Monday."

'Whereabouts?'

"Oh yeah, it's a the big building in Edge... It's got a W, an R and an O on the side."

'The WRO organisation then.'

"Do you even know that building? You haven't been in Edge in ages."

'I came last month.'

"Oh yeah - for Marlene's birthday. But that doesn't really count, I mean like you only stayed for about three hours or so. Or did you? I can't really remember that night..."

'I stayed for four hours. And I saw more of you than I ever thought I would. I need to get that out if my mind.'

"So anyway, next Monday, at twelve noon sharp, at the WRO building. And um-"

"Yuffie! Come on, your shift is starting!"

"Ah, Tifa's calling. Bye!"

'Ah. Maybe she does remember. I must speak to her. On Monday, at twelve noon sharp, at the WRO building. Perhaps I should visit Lucrecia.'

You have 4 new messages:

"Vincent, I should probably talk to you at some point."

'She sounds grave. Perhaps I should call her at some point.'

"It's been... A long day."

'Is the darkness still affecting her? I should never have let her fall to Nero.'

"Can you take your pet Shelke somewhere else please?"

'Oh. That is all. Maybe it was not such a good idea to leave the two of them together after all. I thought that maybe if I left Yuffie with the remnants of Lucrecia, then she would stop calling her such crude names.'

"Seriously, she won't shut up about everything!"

'No such luck, I see. Perhaps I should intervene.'

"And she keeps on and on trying to bring up the last time I saw you, like it was some huge event!"

'I should stay away.'

"Oh yeah, and you know the other day?"

'Yes, it was Wednesday. I presume.'

"She totally just started at me for, like, half an hour whilst I was cleaning the bar. It was do annoying! And I was just so... Ugh!"

'I should speak with Yuffie. Shelke is not a bad person, just adjusting. And I should ask Shelke to stop being so blunt.'

"Oh yeah, Reno's a dad now. Gawd, he won't shut up about it! But it's funny."

'Fatherhood. How strange.'

"Yeah, he's got a son, who I really hope doesn't turn out like him. He's got the red hair though. It's so bright, I thought that Red had just shredded some fur on him!"

'Red does not shed fur. And his name is properly Nanaki. But I should congratulate Reno and Ja- Cissini the next time I encounter them both. It would be interesting to see the boy, too.'

"Oh, and um, Reeve wants you in on Saturday. It's either training or a mission - we could place bets if you ever phoned me back!"

'Perhaps I should phone her at some point. It could be useful. I could benefit. She could benefit.'

"Yuffie! We've got to talk!"

"Sure thing Tifa! That's probably Cloud proposing to her. I knew he was doing that today! I found a super shiny ring in his draw you see - not that I was looking for materia or anything..."

'She's a bad liar. When it comes to concealing her kleptomaniacal habits, anyway.'

"So I'll see you on Saturday at the WRO building - nine in the morning, sharp!"

'I can anticipate a message in the next few days then, I see. I shall have to visit them on Saturday morning.'

You have 5 new messages:

"Hey, Vincent."

'She sounds very somber. And regretful. I made a huge mistake in doing that. I'm so sorry.'

"So I was calling to um say it was uh... Nice to see you the other day."

'I wonder if that could be anymore unconvincing. Perhaps because I know her so well. Or maybe because I don't know her well enough.'

"Tifa wanted me to deliver a message you see. Not like I was calling you for any... Reason."

'She seems a awfully cagey. I wonder if something is wrong. I... I think I hope that nothing is wrong. I think that is what I feel.'

"Oh and uh, Reeve said 'nice mission' for last month's mission. You kinda shot off fast there. I'm not that scary - I'm only a bit of a kleptomaniac and I talk too much."

'I should visit her, maybe. She seems awfully down. I rarely hear her like this.'

"But I am the Single White Rose of Wutai. No one else can claim that. Well… I don't think they can, I'll have to look it up."

'She's thinking about the future awfully fast, for her usual self anyway. Usually she hates talking about the future - whenever asked about who she'll marry, she says 'a super hot guy, duh!', and when asked about children, her only answer is a blush, and she waves off the conversation. What a most contrary person.'

"So what was it I wanted to say... Ugh, man I feel sick."

'She is sick?'

"I've got some kinda stomach virus - stupid colds and their stupid stupidness. So I'm out of commission for a while, by the way. You can have fun all by yourself!"

'I do not know whether that will make working all the more difficult, or all the easier. It might be easier, considering that my incessant chattering doesn't wake up the monsters - the monsters were more likely wake up with her chattering than they were with my non-existent conversation and stealth. Although she does possess some measure of stealth.'

"Yeah, I'm gonna be on the other end of people's PSAs for a while, so you can look forward to that! Hey, maybe I should start leaving messages on your PSA from now on..."

'I think I would rather her next to me. Close call, though.'

"I was saying something... Gawd this always happens! I should really practice leaving messages then I could leave ones that are like a minute long, not five hours long!"

'But then how would I spend my hours?'

"Well I suppose it's no inconvenience to you, it's not like you've got tons of stuff to do. Although you should really get into interior decorating. Your house is falling apart Vinnie, you need to get on that!"

'Duly noted.'

"So um- ugh."

"You should get back to bed Yuffie."

"Yes, mom. Geez Tifa!"

"Yuffie, you're probably annoying Vincent, just tell him about the party."

"...Yeah. You're right."

'...What? Is she alright? I should never have... Oh dear.'

"So we're having a party for Reeve's engagement next month, like the 3rd. So it's pretty soon. Well anyway, it's here, so we'll see you here then, right?"

'Perhaps it is best to congratulate Reeve privately. I would not want to exacerbate any situations.'

Heating up, are we?

Anyway, please review if you've got time and follow for more. Thanks!
