"Best you get down, before your tree gets ruined."

"What the hell do you think your doing, you must be crazy." Rae jumped down, took a deep breath, and was about to yell for Windom, but was cut off.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Cloud said as he grabbed her neck with one arm, wearing a very psychotic grin.

"Put the girl down!"

Cloud turned around, to see Auron, with his sword ready.

"Step any closer, and snap goes her neck." Cloud said, still holding her neck and gripping tighter, and still wearing his now very, very psychotic grin.

Cloud lifted her off the ground, her feet kicking him where it should hurt, but he didn't even move.

"Damn, he must be crazy. If only I could get through his gloves." Rae thought to herself.

"Eat this!" Rae yelled as she double-kicked him in the face, HARD.

"Well, guess you don't need this anymore." Cloud gripped as hard as he could, nearly snapping her neck.

"That's funny, I thought it would snap by now. Oh, well." He said as he gripped tighter.

"I'm not an ordinary human, fool." Rae managed to say, her eyes glowing a shade of red. Her hands glowing to.

"I'm sorry, but that spell will have to wait." Cloud said as he banged Rae's head against a large tree limb, thus knocking her out. All the while doing this he is still wearing that darn psychotic grin.

" Oops, it seems that I knocked her out, oh well." He dropped her, she fell on the ground as if she were a doll, her head bleeding.

"Damn, you!" Auron ran at Cloud and hit him on the head, with the dull side of his sword, knocking him out.

"You deserve this." Auron said as he kicked Cloud in the stomach.

Auron walked over to Rae and picked her up as well as he could. He carried her inside.

Rae woke up in a white walled room. She looked around and saw both Vincent and Lulu at computers. She felt her head, it was still kind of sore. "So your finally awake?"

"Yes, Vincent."

"How are you feeling?"

"Okay. Um, where's Cloud?"

"Next room, Yuna is tending to him."

"Okay." Rae got up, and left the room. She walked to the next room.

"Hey, Yunie, how's it going?"

"Fine, I think Auron hit him a little too hard."

Cloud sat up, rubbing his bandaged head.

"You okay?" Rae asked him.

"Yeah, I think so."

"Not exactly what I meant."

"Oh, uh, I'm sorry for that."

"Well, you're pretty lucky that I'm a nice, forgiving person, otherwise you'd be dead."

"Why?"

"Well, trying to kill the person that brought you back to life, isn't what I call nice."

"I said that I'm sorry."

"I bet that you are, but do you think that I trust that, especially since you tried to kill me?"

"No."

"Good. If you want to win my trust back, meet me later outside, kay?"

"Kay."

Rae left the room and went to a cage-like thing that there seemed to be many of them around, about four, in random places. They are in four colors: Red, Green, Blue and Yellow. Rae went up to the blue one. She put her hand on a very lumpy blanket that was inside. It jumped a little, which caused Rae to jump a little. She moved the blanket, to reveal Celes.

"Wake up, little one."

Celes yawned a little, then looked a Rae and blinked, it had a mad look on its face, obviously it did not want to be woken up.

"Aw, come on, you can't that mad at me."

It gave that look on its face, like its saying "Yes, I can be that mad at you." In fact that's what it is saying, just that nobody here understands draconic, except Rae.

"Come on, you couldn't possibly have had a good dream."

Another face, "Yes, in fact I was."

"Well, I promise that you can sleep all you want after we're done."

Another face, "Okay."

Rae picked up Celes, and brought her outside.

"Wait here." Rae said as she put Celes down on the ground.

Rae walked inside and went down to the kitchen area with the strange wall. She grabbed four swords, and walked outside to where Celes was waiting.

"Cloud should be coming soon."

Rae sat down cross-legged, and waited with her eyes closed.

"I'm here."

"Oh, finally." Rae handed Cloud a wooden sword.

"What are we supposed to do with these?"

"Think."

"I'm not sure how to use it."

"I can think of a few words: Fight, Duel, Spar, list goes on."

"Yeah, and?"

"You use a sword don't you?"

"Yes, it's just that they're too light."

"You'd think it'll be easier for it to be lighter, if you want me to make it heavier, I can."

"You don't need to, I'm just not used to the weight, that's all."

"Fine."

"What are the rules."

"If you defeat me, you'll win back my trust."

"Kay." Rae and Cloud charged at each other, after a few swings back and forth, Cloud was found on the ground with Rae's sword to his chin.

"You've won." Rae said as she removed her sword from his chin.

"Huh?"

"You heard me, you've won."

"But how?"

"I only wanted a good fight, not you to actually beat me, you can't."

"Okay."

"Now lets go inside and get some food."

"Okay." They, including Celes, went inside and got some food.
