@@@@ Author's Note's @@@@: First thing I want to do is thank Kelley and everyone else who has reviewed for reviewing my story. Next thing, does anyone know what Barret's wife's name was? Now for the last part. What does () mean? I'm one of those social retards, okay! Now for the last, last thing. I don't own final fantasy 7 or any of Squares characters. On with the story!
* I'm a protector of the planet. After being a rookie Turk, I'm chosen to be a planet protector. How does things like this happen. I think I'm getting a headache from all this thinking. * Elena Ventus Loft thought as she watched Aeris trying to find her element. They had tried the backing up trick that had worked for Rude, but it didn't work. Nothing seemed to work. * This isn't fair! But life isn't fair either. The guy I like end up dying right after they ask me out. Then I get stuck with an ass hole, that I happen to love as a brother, asking me out then getting mad and gives me the worst jobs! Now to top it off my new love interest is stuck on a Avalanche hoe! When is my bad luck going to stop! *
"I've got it!" Aeris shouted jumping up from her position in front of the glowing post. "There is only one element that doesn't show up on the post."
"I told you that Lena was air!" Reno said jumping up from under a nearby tree. "I was right! She is an air head!"
"Reno....." Rude warned his flame-haired friend. * He's going to get his ass beat if he keeps picking on Elena. * he thought as his friend continued to tease the blonde.
"Be careful Len, you might begin to float if you take out your gun!"
"That's it Reno!" Elena yelled as he punched him in the jaw. "Ow." she said as she shook her hand.
"Ow!" Reno said as he rubbed his jaw. "You pack quite a punch."
"Thanks." she responded as a smile began to form on her lips. Rude shook his head at his friends. * They are very confusing. * he thought remembering his own siblings.
"If Elena is air, that means your lightning Reno." Rude said trying to get the others back onto the issue at hand. Sometimes, he felt like he was the father to them. * Your feelings towards Lena aren't very fatherly. I really need to stop talking to myself. *
"I always knew that I was a hot shot." Reno said as he began to pimp around.
"Ya, I can see how he's like lightning. Quick to cum, quick to go!" Elena said before she stuck her tongue out and ran behind Rude with Reno on hot on her tail.
"Will you two quit it! Your acting like children." Aeris said as she stepped between the two. "Your worse than Yuffie and Cid!" Reno and Elena stopped in their tracks and looked at each other.
"I'm nothing like that materia stealing bitch!" Elena said.
"No, your like Cid!" Reno said as he began to run again. "Your nowhere near as hot as Yuffie!"
"That's the last straw Reno Duner!"
Aeris and Rude watched as Elena ran after Reno's retreating figure. "Well, at least Reno's back to normal."
"You mean he's always like this?"
"Unless he's hitting on a girl or on a mission." he replied as he took out hi P.H.S.. "Would you like to try to call your friends again while I set up camp?" Aeris smiled at the tall Turk.
"I would like that very much, thank you." she said as she accepted the communications device. Aeris moved over to the clearing and dialed the number that she remembered so clearly. She heard it ring once, twice, three times before someone answered.
"Hello?" she heard a sleep filled voice answer.
"Cloud? It's me Aeris!"
"Where did you get a phs in the lifestream?"
"Cloud, I'm alive." * I forgot what an idiot he can be at times. * she thought.
"No your not. This is a funny dream. I'm going back to sleep." She heard the phs click when the connection was broken. * He is such a retard! What did I ever see in him. * The Ancient walked over to the recently set up camp site and handed Rude the device.
"Did you get in touch?" he asked.
"Yes and no. Cloud answered, but he thought it was a dream and hung up."
"He's not all there is he?" Aeris nodded her head and smiled. "I never thought so."
Okay, I'll have the next chapter up real soon! Peace!
