@@@@ Author's Notes @@@@: I have finally come up with a really original idea! It's going to take a while to get to it though! I hated that it took me so long to post this chapter, but I made it long so some people should be happy! Square knows what belongs to them and what doesn't! Please R & R!

"We're late! We're late! Why are we always late?" asked a small pale white child from the back of a young dark dragon. "Matashia and Ennui are going to be mad. We where supposed to help set up for the gathering!"

The dragon snorted from under the young snow's legs before talking. "You're know that we're probably only going to get a few licks. I shouldn't get any since it was your idea to play in the snow, Opal."

"Your still going to get the licks too Natasha!" she replied with a worried look on her face. "I wonder how many we're going to get this time?" The dragon looked at her friend with a not so concerned look.

"I don't think we'll get that many. After all, they let us off easy because we're their sisters."

"You mean that Ennui lets us off easy, but it's Matashia's turn to punish us!" Opal felt the dragon shudder under her as they flew to the Northern Crater. She didn't blame her friend either. Her sister was very, very well to put it nicely she was the Snow Queen. "Do you know what this gathering is about?" she asked trying to take her mind off the upcoming punishment. "We haven't had one since grandma's time."

"I don't know exactly what our sisters are planning, but it's going to be something big."

Tifa stretched as she sat up and began to look around for Cloud. He wasn't in his sleeping bag. * That's funny, he didn't have last watch. * she thought before tripping over a small metallic device. "What's this doing out here?" she asked to no one in particular. She gently kicked Cloud's sleeping bag out of her way as she made her way to the others spread out around the dead fire. She woke up Yuffie first since she was the closest and had breakfast duty that morning. The young shinobe moaned for a second before she dragged herself out of her sleeping bag. Tifa noticed that the young girl's eyes were bloodshot. She wasn't going to say anything though. Tifa moved and began to wake the rest of Avalanche.

Cloud watched the sunrise over what was left of the Highwind. His face was tight with worry. He never had a dream about Aeris calling him on the Phs of all things. It just didn't make any sense. And to top it off he felt like he was needed somewhere, just like when Sephiroth was calling him. He knelt down to the ground as his headache got worse. "There you are!" he heard Tifa's velvety voice say as she approached him from behind. "What's wrong. Normally your the last one out of bed."

Cloud felt Tifa's arms wrap around him, holding him close to her. He loved how caring and gentle she was. He turned and faced the young woman. "You can tell me what's bothering you." she said as the sun's rays danced in her hair bringing out her red highlights.

"I know Tifa, but it's nothing big. Just a weird dream." he replied as he stood up.

"Would you care to tell me about it."

"Okay, well I had a dream that Aeris called on the Phs last night and said she was alive." Tifa stared at the man in front of her and began to laugh.

"Your right, that was a weird dream. It also explains why the Phs was on the ground by your bag." Cloud smiled and hugged Tifa closer to him.

"Did you put it up?" he asked her.

"No, I figured you deserve to have Cid run down the batteries telling Shera what parts he needs for the Highwind." Cloud hung his head as he realized that what she was saying was most likely true.

"Perfect." he said blandly as Cid walked into the clearing with the small device pressed to his ear, talking rapidly into it. "I thought he wasn't going to get Shera involved in this mess."

"He changed his mind." she said with a innocent smile on her face.

"Why do I get the feeling you know something I don't?" he asked pouting.

"Because I do." she said pulling him back to the camp. "Let's go back to the camp. Yuffie has breakfast ready."

Fae toyed with a bright green strand of her hair as she waited for her brother to put the new coordinates into the machine. Her purple eyes studied him carefully trying to figure out where his weakness was. It didn't make sense for her brother to not have a physical weakness. Oh, she knew his emotional weakness, just not his physical one. How was she supposed to beat him in combat if she didn't know. He was a warrior, he knew how to hid his physical weaknesses from his enemies. That was what worried her. She was his sister, not a potential enemy.

"Alright, I'm finished. Let's go train." Yuo said moving towards the training room. Fae watched him move with a grace that was unequaled on her planet before she got up and followed him. She just wished that he would open up to her once in a blue moon.

"Master, are you sure that this is a good idea?" asked the silver haired apprentice trying to convince his master that the idea was a wrong thing. "If I go back they would only kill me again."

"That's not true. Your an Light element and your going to be needed. And your not a full fledged apprentice yet. That way we won't be interfering."

"But!"

"No more buts Sephiroth! This is your chance to redeem yourself! I promise you can come back when it's over."

"Yes, master."

******************************************************************************

Aeris rolled over onto her back and watched the moon's path across the side. She couldn't sleep. Even though everyone else was asleep (she had assured her companions earlier that they wouldn't be attacked while they slept.) she felt like she had to contact her Master. But she had no way to get in touch with him. She felt like there was something she needed to know, but didn't.

A/N I decided to put up this chapter right now! I want to start the trail in another chapter!
