Ch. 5

Setting out.

The party spun around.

"Cid!" The party yelled.

"Damn, who'd ya think it was, Odin and his *&^%in' 6-legged freak show of a horse?!?!? Of course it's me ya bunch of numskulls!" Cid replied.

"What are you doing here?" Cloud asked.

"I heard from Barret that you guys were out to try and resurrect Aeris, and I decided to come and help out. Unfortunately, someone else decided to tag along-" Cid was cut short by an angry voice from downstairs.

"PUT THAT MATERIA BACK!!!" the materia salesman yelled.

Yuffie ran inside the room and locked the door. "phew...least...I...got...the...materia.." she said gasping for breath. She looked up to see the group staring at her oddly. "What?"

"Same ol' Yuffie..." Red laughed.

The whole party burst out laughing, at Yuffie's expense.

"So, how are you gonna get to that materia? It's underwater, for chrissakes! Cid restarted the conversation.

"When we go to get the Desert Rose and the Earth Harp, we can get the Underwater Materia also from that old coot we left them with." Red replied.

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that." Tifa said, sounding more optimistic than ever now.

"Well, it's off to Kalm for you all. Good luck." The elder said while shaking all of their hands.

"We can use the Highwind." Cid said.

"Aww, mannn!" Yuffie whined.

"Well let's get a move on." Cloud said exiting the room.

"YEAH!" everyone else said, following Cloud.

Once they had left the elder muttered under his breath, "The young man already has the fourth item, and more than enough of it, even if he doesn't realize it yet." Then , he sat down and continued with his work.

**Once inside the Highwind, they immediately set out for Kalm. Will they be able to get there in time? Will Yuffie be able to avoid hurling on Cid?!? Find out in Chapter VI!!!**
