"What?" The woman, Yuffie Kisaragi asked her listener, "My stories not sad enough for you?
Yeah... the time period of the Planet I was on was messed up... Oh, you want to know what happened
to Cloud and Tifa? Last time I looked in on them from the lifestream they were having a wedding."
She stood and walked from the room, bidding the stranger to follow her. The light green glow of
the lifestream surrounded them and Yuffie looked upward for that special window meant for her.
Cloud and Tifa appeared in it. Tifa was rocking a baby girl while Cloud told stories to a slightly
younger child who looked to be about three or four.

"You think Yuffie would mind us naming the baby after her?" Tifa asked Cloud.
"Mind? She'd insisted upon it." Cloud replied.
"Daddy!!!!" the older child whimpered, "My storyyy!"
Cloud laughed, "I know Aeris, I know."

The window became foggy and faded away, the stranger looked at Yuffie as it suddenly
became clear that the woman in the story was her. Of course, it made since. But the stranger
had not known for sure.
"Huh.. who would have though that," Yuffie said aloud, "Well stranger, no don't offer me
your name, I don't want to know. I'm going to the gate. There's a certain red haired Turk thats
scheduled to pass away today. I'm going to go throw my arms around his neck, kiss him, and then
kick him in the ass! Nyuk nyuk nyuk." Yuffie walked off toward the place where souls entered the
lifestream, laughing.

Reno lie in his hospital bed looking up at Elena and Rude. An assassin had been hired to
kill the assassin. A little slip of poison in a beer was all it took to fail the great Reno of
the Turks. There was nothing the doctors could do to remove it. The blond was crying her eyes
out and Rude's mouth was set in a grim line. Reno grinned at them.
"Hey come on, its not that bad. I'll say hi to Yuffie for you." Reno told them, his voice was
faint, "Side's I'll finally be out of this hell hole."
"...." Rude looked at him.
"I'll miss you too, Rude. And even all your talking, Elena." the red head smirked.
"You're horrible Reno," Elena sobbed, trying to force a smile.
"I know... I hope there isn't a hell.. it would be nice to be able to forget what I've done in
this life." Reno closed his eyes as the poisons set to work on his heart, and faded away that same
old smirk on his face.
