"Y'know Cloud, y-you're my best friend...", slurred a drunken Barrett.
"Yeah, you're m-my best friend too...", Cloud stuttered in response.
"Knock it off, you two!", Tifa yelled. "W-We have to try and stay sober for when that Chris jerk turns up!"
"L-Lighten up, Tifa...", groaned Aeris. "We've got burp plenty of time!"
Cloud, Barrett, Tifa and Aeris were all sat at the bar in the sunny seaside resort of the Costa Del Sol. They were waiting for Chris to show his face, but had managed to get rather drunk in doing so.
"Barkeep!", Barrett shouted. "Four more beers please! A-And don't spit in 'em this time!"
Suddenly, Yuffie burst into the bar screaming and waving her arms about.
"You guys! You have to come quick!"
"H-Hey, Yuffie! J-Join us, woncha?!", gurgled Barrett. "Barkeep, another beer here!"
"Oh, Gawd!", Yuffie sighed. "They're all drunk! And there's nothin' more embarrassin' than a bunch of drunken old farts!"
"S-Sit down Yuffie!", giggled Cloud. "W-We were just saying how much we all burp love you!"
"Ergh! Listen up people, we have a crisis at hand! Chris was just here!"
"C-Chris? Who the hell he?", bloated Barrett.
"Duh! He's the guy we've been chasing, remember?! Look, he saw you guys and got all freaked out, then he left town! I think he headed towards Mount Corel! If we're quick, then we might just catch him!"
"Y-Yeah, we all love you very much Yuffie! You're so cute and young and full of life!", Cloud laughed.
"Dammit! They're not even listening! Well, if you're not gonna get off your asses and go after that scumbag, then I guess I'll have to go it alone! Good day!"
Yuffie darted off out of the bar and ran off into the countryside.
"S-She's weird.", Aeris barfed up over Cloud. "S-Sorry, Clawd!"
Meanwhile, Chris himself was wandering along the abandoned train tracks of Mount Corel.
"Ah!", he smiled. "What a beautiful day for a walk! It should take about ten more minutes before I reach that awful town, North Corel. Man, I hate that place, but I have to go through there, since thats the only way to reach the Gongaga without transport. I wish I had an airship like that one I saw in Junon. Now that was somethin' else!"
Yuffie had left the Costa Del Sol too. As she ran along the old train tracks, she could just about make out the moving figure in the distance.
"Chris!", she thought to herself. "Heh, I'll get that loser, and reclaim that stinkin' money! Yeah, the party will be real happy with me then! I'll show them what Yuffie Kisaragi can do when she puts her mind to it!"
Back at the Costa Del Sol, the party had managed to sober themselves up. They emerged from the dark bar and entered the bright outdoors.
"Whew! My head is pounding!", grumbled Cloud. "I'm never gonna drink that much again!"
"Cloud, you only had two beers!", Barrett growled. "But I have to agree with ya, no more heavy drinkin' for me either!"
"So, what do you guys wanna do now?", asked Tifa.
"Well, lets go to the beach for a few hours, and then get down to some serious drinkin' back at the bar!", suggested Barrett.
"Sounds good to me! Cloud?", wondered Aeris.
"Sure, why not?", Cloud agreed. "Wait! Hold up! I get the strangest feeling that we've forgotten something..."
The party stood in silence for a while, until Cloud eventually spoke up.
"Of course! Chris! We have to find Chris!"
"Geez, we better go check to see if his ship has docked in!", Barrett yelled.
The party ran down to the docks. There was a huge ocean cruiser at the port. A smart looking sailor stod next to it.
"Excuse me, Mr. Sailor sir. Do you know if the ship from Junon has come in yet?", Cloud questioned.
"Sir, you are standing in its presence!", the sailor smirked.
"Oh, crap!", mumbled Cloud.
