Lost in Final Fantasy 7 Chapter 23: Warm Hearted and Foul Mouthed

Hope you enjoy this much anticipated chapter. The introduction of Cid. I won't answer questions about Aeris but something interesting happens regarding her.



We were all camped out in the fields with Rocket Town off in the distance. We had set up multiple tents so we could all sleep. Although Vincent never looked like he'd ever sleep. He'd just stand against a nearby rock and stare.

Perry: .

Yuffie: What's up?

Perry: Just been thinking.

Yuffie: About what?

Perry: Well it's about me being here and all.

Red XIII: Sounds important.

Perry: You eavesdrop a lot

Red XIII: Sorry. I'm just curious about you. You're a mysterious person.

Perry: And he isn't *points to Vincent

Yuffie: Maybe for once you should share your feelings about yourself with everyone.

Perry: I guess it couldn't hurt. But everyone's probably-

Yuffie: HEY EVERYONE! Perry has something to share with everyone.

Perry: It's just you all don't know much about me.

Cloud: We don't see why we need to.

Tifa: But it would be better to let him tell us. He might trust us more.

Perry: I already trust you guys.

Barret: Well, we know most of the background behind everyone here so let's hear your story newcomer.

Perry: Never get tired of that name do you?

Barret: Suits you well.

Perry: Well, you may be shocked by this but, I'm from another world.

Cloud: Seriously?

Perry: Yes, and in the world I come from you all are characters in a video game.

Red XIII: All of us?

Perry: Except for me of course.

Yuffie: That's kinda weird.

Barret: So do you know what happens to us?

Perry: Well, no, I haven't beaten the game. So I can't tell you.

Tifa: Must be strange for you.

Perry: Tell me about it. I mean it was kinda scary at first but I love it here now.

Vincent: More than your own world?

We were all taken back by Vincent's sudden involvement.

Perry: Well, yes. Where I'm from I got like no respect from people. No one other than my family loved me. I was such a sad person. It's the opposite here. You guys are such better company than anyone else!

Cloud: We spend a lot of time fighting though.

Perry: I like it. It's not so bad.

Tifa: Well, is that all?

Perry: Well, lately when I fall asleep I get pulled back to my world for awhile and there is this man that tells me he's trying to get me back. I don't want him to.

Yuffie: Well tell him not to.

Perry: Maybe I will. Well, it's late.

We all agreed and went to sleep. Well all except for me.

I stayed up all night with Yuffie beside me. Thinking.

The morning seemed to come all so slow. I hadn't slept that night. Fear of being sent back.

Yuffie: Good morning-you look terrible!

Perry: Didn't sleep.

Tifa: Hi guys-what happened to you?

Yuffie: No sleep.

Tifa: Afraid you'll go back?

Perry: Yea.

Tifa: Well you shouldn't just give up on sleep. Maybe if you see that guy tell him to stop.

Perry: Okay. We leaving.

Tifa: Yup. Get ready.

She left the tent and I sat up as Yuffie was dressing.

Yuffie: I'm ready.

We both left the tent and soon after we were all heading towards Rocket Town.

Aeris: You look terrible, Perry.

Perry: No kidding..

I just couldn't help it anymore. I just fell asleep right on Aeris.

I didn't go back though. Good think too. But I was hoping to just to give that guy a piece of my mind.

When I woke up I was in some strange bed. Cloud, Tifa, and Yuffie were standing over me.

Cloud: Finally awake.

Perry: Sorry about that.

Tifa: Just don't do that again.

Perry: I'll try not to.

Yuffie: How do you feel?

Perry: Much better. Um..where are we?

Cloud: A man named Cid's house.

Perry: OH! Well, I should get out of his bed then.

???: Don't worry about it. The captain doesn't even know you're here.

Perry: Then I should get out of here before he-

Cid: Shera I'm home!

Shera: Oh, good afternoon Cid.

Cid: Shera, who are these people?

Shera: They're guests dear.

Cid: Oh, really? Then why is one of em in MY &($#ing bed?

Good god he's mad scary in real life. I almost pissed myself when he noticed me.

Cid: Are you blind woman? Make these guests some &3^$ing tea bitch! Damn! I'm pissed!!

We could all tell.

I got out of his bed as soon as possible.

Shera: I'll make them tea right away captain.

Cid: I'll take some too.

Perry: None for me.

Yuffie: Or me.

Cid: What's the matter? Ain't my hospitality good enough for you?

Perry: I just don't like tea.

Cid: Shera isn't bad at making tea.

Perry: Well, I have..an alergic reaction to tea.

Yuffie: me too. Can barely smell it without a fever.

Cid: Whatever. Where the hell is that son of a bitch Rufus.

Cloud: Rufus!

Cid: Got that right. He's supposed to be here to tell me about the renewal of the Space Program.

Perry: Well I believe he's here right now. Palmer is coming to the door.

Cid: The &*$% are you some #$%&ing psychic?

Palmer comes in the door a few seconds later.

Cid: Shit!

That made Cid drop his cigarette. Taking a new one from his pack on his goggles he lit it and greeted Palmer in his own way.

Cid: If it ain't fat man Palmer.

Palmer: Long time no see.

Cid: So is the Space Program up again.

Palmer: I don't know. Ask the president. He's outside.

Cid: &$^% good for nothing fat $&*#!

Palmer: Don't say fat!!

He noticed Shera making tea and went up to her.

Palmer: Hey tea. I want some. With sugar, and butter, and don't forget the lard.

Cloud: What's going on?

Tifa: Let's check it out.

Perry: We'll just wait in here. Yuffie: You look a lot better than you did this morning.

Perry: Well I kinda didn't sleep. What happened when I fell asleep on Aeris today?

Yuffie: Well she saved you from falling on your face. Then Tifa and Aeris helped carry you here.

Perry: Man, they are too good to me.

Yuffie: You're a lovable guy.

Then Palmer walked past us outside.

Shera: Um..excuse me. I believe if you want the Tiny Bronco talk with Palmer.

Perry: Well, is that why we're here Yuffie?

Yuffie: Yea, Cloud was talking about having Cid over there let us borrow it.

Perry: Well what should we do?

Tifa: Let's take it first.

Cloud: We'll all go this time.

The four of us went to Cid's backward. Palmer didn't look to thrilled by that.

Palmer: Haven't we met before. Oh, in the Shinra Building when the President was...killed. Security!

He drew what looked like strange looking gun and shot right at me.

I had time to dodge the lightning bolt it shot.

Perry: Why are people trying to kill me all the time?

Tifa: You're likable?

Perry: Just kill him.

We all gave it our all and in the end Palmer was sent running, right into a moving truck.

Cloud: No good it's taking off.

The plane was beginning to life off the ground. Tifa jumped aboard and I did after her. Yuffie tried but I grabbed her arm and pulled her on.

Yuffie: AHHHHH, why did I get on?

Perry: You tell me.

Yuffie: I'm gonna die!!

She was holding onto me for dear life. It kinda hurt.

Cloud: How do we fly this thing?

We flew right past Rufus and Cid. Cid came chasing after us and jumped aboard. As a soldier shot us down.

Cid: Shit! The rear wings been hit!

Cloud: Emergency landing?

Cid: This is gonna be a big splash! Hold onto your drawers and don't piss in em!

We all landed in the ocean.

Yuffie: Is it safe to open my eyes?

Perry: Yes.

Yuffie: Okay. Oh great..urk..

I almost forgot she gets seasick.

Cloud: Can we use this as a boat?

Cid: Do whatever you want.

Cloud: Cid what are you gonna do now?

Cid: I'm finished with Shinra. I dunno.

Cloud: We're after a man named Sephiroth and we'll get the Shinra eventually.

Cid: Hmm. Count me in numbskulls!

Cloud: Numbskulls?

Cid: Anyone who goes against the Shinra nowadays has got to be a numbskull.

Cloud: Where do we go now?

Cid: That Rufus kid was saying something about a Temple of the Ancients. But you need some key to get inside.

Cloud: Let's go as far as we can.

Tifa: How's Yuffie?

Perry: Same old. Yuffie, I didn't know you could hold that much food in that tiny body of yours.

Well how'd you like this chapter? Sorry for a long wait.
