'Thought'

"Speech"

(Speech over PHS)

&&&

I flopped down on the soft bed, letting my muscles relax. Aries had some sixth sense that told her I was depressed and needed cheering up. We'd spent the entire day wandering through the slums shopping. And along the way I had somehow found myself pouring my heart out to her. Telling her what was wrong, to my surprise instead of laughing she had nodded and made sympathetic noises. Which, I admit, had helped me to feel a little better. I looked at the Mog clock radio on the nightstand and winced, remembering the cheerful Chocobo that graced the nightstand at home...

I still referred to Seph's apartment as home. I shook my head, could I go back? SHOULD I go back? How? HOW could he have forgotten? Did I really mean that little? Did he . . . have someone else? Had he been lying about paperwork? All these questions flew about my head, spawning more questions with no answers in sight. I set the alarm and station on the clock radio, curled up into a ball and cried myself to sleep.

&&&

I stood outside the door, waiting for a certain person to emerge. I looked at the picture, pink hair green eyes, heart shaped face, and teeth that had to be bleached. The door creaked open and said girl emerged, neon pink hair contrasting with a black shirt that read, 'If I do a trick will you go away?' baggy cargo pants and black boots completing the ensemble.

"You are, Emile Ashton? Also known as the radio personality Catastrophe Kitty?" She whirls around to face me.

"Yeah? You are?" I stepped close enough so that she could see me.

"I am . . . Someone in need of your help." She raised an eyebrow at me and snorted.

"Alright I'll bite. What does the great General Sephiroth need from a lowly Disk Jockey?"

&&&&&&&

I stood outside the guest room as the last of the sobs faded. Poor Cloud, It was probably their first argument. The first was always the worst, because you were confused, you didn't know what to do. You felt so helpless. Like there was a big black hole sucking you in and that you didn't have anything to hold onto.

"Poor guy, he seems so lost."

"Has he tried Hare Krishna?" I groaned.

"Mother!" The phone downstairs rang and I rushed to pick it up.

"Hello?"

(Hey babe.) I rolled my eyes and sighed fondly.

"Zack, one of these days it's going to be my mother and she'll tell you off."

(I live for the risk.) I could hear the smirk in his voice disappear as he voiced his next question

(How is he?)

"He just finished crying himself to sleep." I heard him mutter curses from his end.

"Zack, he's hurt, but it IS reparable damage, if action is taken quickly."

(I know, he's working on it now.)

&&&

I stared incredulously at the man sitting across from me and rubbed my temples.

"Okay, let me get this straight: You forgot his birthday and spent it doing paperwork, now he's mad at you, rightfully so I might add, and you want ME to read this," I held up the piece of paper he'd shoved over the diner table.

"On my morning show in the hopes he'll hear it and know it's you?" he bit his lip.

"I don't know what to do. According to the boyfriend of the girl's place he's staying at seeing me might hurt him more, and I don't think he'll come to me. This is the only middle ground I could think of." I let my head rest on the table and tried to think. I knew I couldn't turn him down, I was a bleeding heart like that.

"Fine. I'll do it. But, I'll tell him to go outside so be ready with whatever you deem necessary. But I think yourself and an apology will suffice." He looked at me, his face blank. God! Why are men so dumb?

"Be waiting for him outside wherever he is and be ready to apologize again." He blinked and nodded.

I shook my head.

"I know I'm going to regret this."

//GOOOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOOOOOOORNING MIDGAR!!! This is Catastrophe Kitty! Comin at ya LIVE from A.N.I.M.E Radio!// I opened my eyes half expecting to see my chirpy Chocobo but instead the pastel pink of the Mog assaulted my eyes.

//Today ladies and Gentlemen I have a special request. This is for "Spiny Chocobo" 'I'm sorry, I can't say how much. Please forgive me and come back. I know I don't deserve you, but I do love you. Please? PS: I'm sorry about your clock.' From "One winged Angel". And Spiny, Go take a peek outside, For me, your buddy CK?// I didn't even bother listening to the rest, my feet were moving before I had time to register that I was halfway down the stairs.

I bowled Aeris over.

"Cloud? Wha-?"

"Said to look outside!" I stopped right before I opened the door, fear finally catching up to me, her icy arms wrapped around my stomach. Areis looked at me puzzled.

"Why did you stop?" I looked at the oak door, suddenly nervous.

"What if . . ." I didn't get a chance to finish as she pushed the door open, shoved me outside, and closed the door behind me. There he was, he looked alone, and a little afraid. He held a long stemmed white rose out to me.

"Forgive me?"

For a minute I thought he was going to turn and walk away from me but he reached to me, ignoring the rose, to gently touch my wrist.

"Are you real?" I nodded.

"Yes. Can you ever forgive me?" Our eyes met, and for a glorious moment I was wrapped in warm Sapphire, then I couldn't think as his petal soft lips pressed against mine. The rose dropped from my fingers, and I ran my hands through those locks of gold. He pulled away and smiled at me.

"You're forgiven." I smiled relieved.

"Now then, what's this about my clock?" I winced.

"Um . . ."
