Chapter 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- It was Nibleheim, the sky was empty and the sun was bright, Nibleheim was fully restored once again. The Shinra mansion was beautiful, flowers bloomed in the garden, and children ran around, passing in and out, and the well was now a Nibleheim monument, it held a huge sign reading:

"Welcome To Nibleheim The Home Of Cloud, The Man Who Saved The World"

Cloud had been rewarded that title ever since he got back, he was world famous, and everyone knew his name, but rather than him living in the old house he once lived in, he had moved to "Shinra Mansion" were Vincent was first found, though of course Cloud would not want to live in a house named after the organisation he once defeated, he had named it "Aerith Mansion", he'd dedicated it to her, if she was still alive she would of loved it.

Meanwhile in "Aerith Mansion", Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Vincent and Reeves were lounging around in the main lounge, Reeves had joined Cloud after Shinra were defeated, there was no need for him to hide using Cait Sith anymore. Cloud's eyes were free from the disease of Mako, and he was happy, him and Tifa were living together, but they agreed that Vincent could stay, he lived in the dungeon he once did, but it was different now, it was a royal, neat, clean place, but he still loved Lucrecia, and would not let her go. Barret was a gun designer, he was bored of doing nothing, so he decided he'd get a job, though it was easy for him, as he was the leader of "Avalanche", everywhere he'd go people would welcome him with open arms. The guns he designed he kept changing for his gun, he had on his arm.

Cloud spoke, he hadn't spoke like this for ages, he was cheerful and happy

"Tifa? Where are you? Vincent? Barret?" Just then Barret and Vincent walked out, they were feasting in the kitchen, Barret and Vincent had become friends ever since Sephiroth was defeated, they were like best friends now, Barret had a chicken leg hanging from the trigger of his gun, and his other arm around his back, he was obviously trying to hide it, but looks like he'd got some stuck in his gun

"ha ha ha ha ha, having dinner are we Barret?" Barret noticed the chicken and laughed

"YEA! Your fridge is packed, it coulda fed the hole of Midga.." Barret smiled and then made his way back to the fridge, Vincent stood there, his cloths were always the same, though they were clean, Barret on the overhand wore a bright colourful T-Shirt, it was in the style of the Hawaiian shirts. He'd changed his personality loads, it was probably because he fought . . . . .. He knew that Biggs, Wedge and Jesse were free, he wanted to get his revenge, and he did

Just then, Vincent turned as Barret call ed him, Barret had discovered another few chicken legs, and Vincent had been eating a few too, but just enough to fill him up. Tifa then came running down the stairs, she was wearing a long dress, it was beautiful, the long dress was silk and the end of it dragged along the floor. "Tifa? Wow, you look beautiful" Cloud said as his eyes widened "Thanks, it was my mothers"

The party was back once again, but they did not know that the Turks were still alive, and roaming around in the Shinra building.
