"We are live in five minutes." Said the camera man.

"Great." Cloud said not really wanting to go on T.V.

"Oh Cloud, don't worry, you'll do fine." Lina smiled at him. "We practiced it a lot. You shouldn't have a problem."

Cloud tries to smile, but fails horribly. "Yea, your right."

"Oh cheer up!" Lina pinches his cheeks. "Tifa is watching."

"Yea, lets add another blooper for Tifa to witness." Cloud looks around, wondering where Tifa might be.

"Looking for her?" Lina asks. Her green eyes are the only thing keeping him calm.

"How do you know?" Cloud ask. "Great another person that can read me."

Lina giggles to herself. "Cloud, I really don't know what to say."

"One minute, One minute!"

"Great." Cloud said.

"Come with me." Lina says. "Are you going to sit, or stand?"

"I dunno." Cloud said.

"You look like the standing type, I think you'll be too nervous sitting down." Lina said. "But don't sway side to sde."

"Thirty seconds!"

"C'mon Cloud, I'm here to support you, and trust me. Tifa is watching you." Lina shoves him in the center of the set.

The set looks like your average standing set, with a giant picture of Athena behind Cloud.

Cloud tugs on his suit. "I don't want to wear this. I don't like it."

Lina chuckles, "Here." She walks behind him, and takes the jacket off, tossesing it off the set. "And." Then she walks in front of him.

Cloud watches her.

Lina unbuttons the first two button of his white long sleve shirt. "Hmmp, one more thing." Lina starts to roll up his sleeves before his elbow.

"Ten seconds."

"Good luck." Lina pinches her cheek, and runs behind the camera.

"And five, four, three." The man continues counting, but with his figures.

Cloud stands there, as he saw the camera's red light turn on.

Oh man. This is bad. The world is looking at me. What could they be thinking?

"Cloud" Lina whispers loudly. "Go!"

Cloud composes himself. "People of the world. My name is Cloud Strife. I am announcing today a change in history. I Cloud Strife, will be the new president of the formerly known Shinra Corporation. From now on, we will be called Aeris Corporation." Cloud finishes and notice they are still live. What now? He thinks. Cloud steps back nervously. "As president of Aeris Corporation, I will make sure that the world will have enough homes to live. I will attempt to rebuild both Midgar and Junon. As you all know, the Athena village is well underway, and soon more homes will be made. After another village. I will attempt to rebuild Junon."

A little girl is sitting in front of the T.V. She jumps up and down realizing who it is. "Mommy look!"

"Priscilla! Don't sit so close to the T.V!"

The T.V loud enough, repeating Cloud's words. "We enough help from all of you, even Midgar can be rebuilt. This is where the world unites to rebuild itself.



"Well look at that! Its Cloud!" Barret grunted out loud.

"Cloud?" Marlene runs up to the T.V.

The T.V.'s audio booming through the house. "Once we all unite. The world would be renewed. So people of the planet. Join hands, in memory of those that have lost their lives. We will never forget them."



"Alright!" Yuffie jumps up and down. "Go Cloud!" Yuffie glues her face to the T.V. screen. "He is soooooo cute!" Yuffie drops her bottom on the ground. With a large grin on her face. "Maybe he might like me!"

"Grow up." Reno said lying on the couch with his feet on the table. "He's Tifa's so get over it. Even if Tifa wasn't with him. That Lina girl seems like a shoe in too."

Yuffie turns to Reno of the Turks. "You mean Lina likes him?"

"C'mon kid isn't it obvious. Problem is she won't make a move, cuz of Tifa. If it were me I would have made the move anyway, but whatever." Reno scratches rough face.

"It was bad enough with Aeris. Tifa was always there, but Lina too! Gosh! I'm never going to get with him." But he's so cute! She thinks.

"Shut up Yuffie." Cid walks out of the kitchen with an icebag on his forehead.

"Why don't shut up! Old fart!" Yuffie sticks her tongue out at him.

"Fucking brat, don't make me chase you again!" Cid clenches his fist in anger.

"Oh no, the geriactric freak is going to lose his breath chasing me. Oh no Cid Highwimp is going to hurt me! I'm scared!" Yuffie stands up.

"NO ONE CALLS ME HIGHWIMP!!!" He jumps over the couch where Reno is sitting and falls on top of the table. "COME HERE!!!"

"Right!" Yuffie runs out the door. "Oh and Cid! I think your missing materia!"

"I'm going to KILL HER!!!" Cid fumbles over the table and runs out the door.

"I really don't know why I'm with these jokers, but whatever, Reeve liked them, so I guess I will have to too." Reno took a sip from his beer bottle.

"Thank you for you time. I will-"

Suddenly a large explosion causes the wall to the left to blow up. Soldiers in red uniform storm into set.

Cloud runs to the bathroom behind the set.

Lina runs after Cloud.

The camera turns to see what's going on. The live feed sees everything that is going on.

Suddenly a big muscle-bound man walks in. Black hair, rough shaven, and wearing a muscle shirt, and the red uniform fatigues. "Where is Cloud Strife?"

Cloud opens the door of the bathroom and looks in. "There it is!" Cloud grabs his buster sword. "I can't fight in this."

Lina runs up to a bathroom, and notices that Cloud is taking off his pants from his legs. She notices his boxers are out in the open. Cloud looks at her, and blushes closing the door. "I'm sorry! Cloud I didn't know!"

"It's ok! Not your fault." Cloud yells from inside the bathroom.

"Where is Cloud Strife?" The muscle-bound man yells. "I want to know where he is!"

The camera is feeding this moment to every T.V. station in the world

"Cloud is my staff in there?" Lina asks getting worried.

Cloud opens the door, revealing his now wearing his SOLDIER pants, but not the top. "Lets go." Cloud looks at the fact that his torso is totally revealed. "Are you uncomfortable?"

"Forget about that Cloud! We have more important things to worry about." Lina ran out from behind the set and made way into the set.

Cloud runs in after her, with his buster sword in hand.

"There you are Cloud!" He turns to the newcomers on the set.



"What the fuck!" Reno spills his beer all over himself. "Why is he here?"



"I will have my chance to kill you again Cloud." The mans narrow eyes, glare at Cloud.

"Again?" Cloud looks at him. "What do you mean again?"

"Don't worry abou that now. In fact don't worry about it ever. You will be dead before people know who I truly am." The large man charges at Cloud

"If you want a fight, you got one!" Cloud charges at the long black- haired man.

The large muscular man, unsheathes a large sword. The sword his half the size of Cloud's but none the less large indeed.

Cloud jumps in the air with his sword high above his head.
