Reno

    I pick up Elena's body and put it in the hole I had created using Quake. I lay her down and smile weakly. Good-bye sweet Elena. I pick up a flower and smell its sweet fragrance and place it upon her chest. I cover her with the dirt and I cast Quake again. This time I pick up Rude and place him in the hole. I cover him with the dirt and I cannot hold back my tears anymore. I take of my shoes and take the laces out of them. I find three pieces of scrap wood and create a cross and place it in the ground above of Elena's grave. I take out my Electro Rod and shove it into the ground. I take the other piece of wood and create a cross for Rude. At this point I am crying uncontrollably. I get up and walk towards the exit. I know that the tower in Kalm will let me gain access to my parent's copter.

Yuffie

    I am back on the Highwind keeled over the side. Of course I am airsick again. Cid stops the Highwind with a lurch and I nearly get sick. I look up and see Barret going to the side. "See ya guys," he calls waving his gun-arm in the air.

    "Bye Barret. Be careful with Marlene," replies Tifa as she gives him a big hug.

    Cloud walks up to Barret and shakes his hand. "Be careful Spike. Don' you go spazzin any more." Cloud just smiles again and socks him once in the arm. I see Cid and he just shakes his hand vigorously. "See ya hacker. Quit smokin and go apologize to Shera or bein a jerk for many years."

    Cid smiles and tosses his smoke out the side. "See ya lefty. Be careful."

    Red XIII the creature walks over to Barret. Barret crouches down and scratches him behind the ears. "See ya wolfie. Be sure to protect that Canyon." The wolf lets out a playful growl as he rubs his mane across Barrets leg. Barret turns his head and looks at me. I run over and jump into his arms. "See ya big guy," I say squeezing his neck and kissing him on his cheek.

    "See ya Yuf. Don' go stealin now." I jump off and watch him climb down the ladder and run into Kalm.

Reno

    I finally reach Kalm. What a nice li'l town.  I look above and see the…It's the Highwind. This is just great but they would probably wanta kill me. Hey its that uh… umm Barret guy. I see him climb down and run into Kalm. Hmm I wonder what's goin on with him. Did Avalanche break apart or sometin I dunno. I walk into Kalm and look for at the tower ah there it is. I walk up to the tower and open the door. I look around and I see chaos. My parents copter has been ravaged. "Oh no. How am I supposed to get home." I get out and sit on the stone steps and sob. I have no access to home and I'm trapped here forever. I look up and over hear a conversation going on between to old men.

    "I am sure Cody. Ol Choco Bill said that he has 3 Golden Chocobo's and the owner is selling one of them."

    "You a lyin Dave. Der have been no golden chocs since the Wutai Shin-Ra war."

    I get up and walk over to the men. "Uhh sirs, how long is it to the Chocobo Ranch."

    "Well I say it is a good 4 day walk to the ranch. If yer full of energy that is," one of the old codgers replied.

    "Don't worry bout me sirs," I reply as I put on a pair of Sprint Shoes. I race out of town and over the fields.

Yuffie

    I can see home from here. The mountains of Da Chao to the north, the wide fields to the south, I can see it all. Cid is smiling as he is piloting the great ship to the fields. I look at my comrade's as I am about to disembark. Red XIII walks over and I scratch him behind the ears. "See ya Nanaki," I said hugging him.

    "Bye Yuffie. Please try to make up with your father." I growl at him but he just looks up at me with his one eye. I sigh and know he's right. I look at the buxom beauty Tifa and give her a hug good-bye. "Be careful Teefy," I say playfully. "Don' let Spike be an idiot."

    "Hey we're letting ya have the materia."

    I give Tifa one last hug. Geez I'll miss her. She's been like a mom to me. I look to Cloud and give him a hug good bye. "I'll miss ya Spiky," as I let go. I turn to Cid and give him a small hug good-bye. "See ya Ciddy."

    "Bye twerp," he muttered under his breath. I am about to leave and a small smile creep along my face. I rush over to him and squeeze him hard and give him a kiss on his cheek. "Hey hey don't get so &%&*^&%* mushy over me!" I just laugh and climb down the ladder. I look towards Wutai and I know I am home. I run along the fields to my house.

Reno

    I have been running for nearly 5 hours nonstop. I love sprint shoes like these. I could go running for 5 days and not be tired. Must be the Shin-Ra technology. I can see the marsh to my right and can see the small barn ahead of me. I race forward and almost run into a small girl.

    "Hello mithter. I'm Chloe. Wanna bye some greens?" A little girl says to me.

    "No thank you sweetie, but do you know who I talk to about the Chocobo's?"

    "Yep yep, Grampa knows dem. I'll go get him," the little girls runs off to the house calling for her grandfather. I walk over and look at the golden chocobo. I read its collar waiting for the man. "I just hope the price isn't too bad. I have only 5000 gil with me," I say loudly.

    "Well this breed is only 4500 gil sir," said a man standing behind me. I turn around and see a man in his sixties with a graying beard. "I'm Choco Bill. I hear you are interested in that golden Chocobo."
    "Yes. I am willing to pay the 4500 gill," I said pulling out four, thousand gil notes and a 500 gil note. The man takes the money and counts it carefully. He nods and hands me the reigns of the chocobo. "This baby can real fast. Ah young man with spiky blond hair just came down and said for me to sell this chocobo. You know how to look after them eh?"

    "Yeah my parents bred choc's when I was little," I said to the man mounting the large bird. "How much are greens Chloe?" I asked the little girl.

    "Fity gil sir. Want some?" I smile weekly and pull out a 100 gil and give it to the little girl. She hands me two bags of greens and I leave.

Yuffie

    I quietly walk up to my dad's pagoda in the northern part of Wutai. I open the door and walk to his room. I can see him on the ground meditating. I enter the room and sit on the plush carpets. I just stare at him intently. "Daddy. Are you okay,"

    "You have not called me that in a very long time," my father says not opening his eyes.

    "I'm sorry dad. I'm sorry I wasn't good enough for you. I'm sorry for all my mistakes daddy. I'm very sorry," I look at him through my teary eyes. He opens his eyes and looks at me. He embraces me in a hug as I begin to cry.

    "Its okay Yuffie," he says holding me. "I'm sorry that I haven't been the best to you either. I missed you and prayed to Da-Chao that you would return safely my daughter."

    I break out of the embrace and wipe the tears from my eyes. I look at my father in the eyes and smile weakly, "On the plus side, I brought materia home. My friends gave me all the un-mastered Materia so we can create Wutai strong again."

    My father just smiles and chuckles "my dear Yuffie. There will be much time for that. First get out of that garb and into the more traditional clothing for you."

    "Awww man," I groaned as I headed for the bath huts.

Reno

    I can see The Da-Chao in the distance as my golden chocobo speeds over the water. I still am amazed of how fast these birds are. I reach land and my Chocobo stops and walks slowly to the town. "I am home" I reply with sigh of happiness. I get off my chocobo and walk into town. I can smell the tea in the air and look at the great statues. I know what I have to do. Return to Godo and proclaim who I am. I am Reno Rykes of the Boushan clan, and I have returned home after 18 years.

    In the lifestream, Zack and Aeris were watching Reno dismount his chocobo. Zack began to fake cry as he watched the events with Yuffie unfold, "Oh that is so sad," he said in a fake cry.

    "Oh quiet you," Aeris said smacking him on his arm. "I'm glad about Yuffie and her father."

    "How bout us?" Zack replies. "We're still together right Rissy?"

    "Of course Zack," Aeris replies kissing Zack.
