Tifa woke the next morning to the sun beating down on her. She rolled over in her bed, but she rolled a little too far over and fell on the floor. She rubbed her head. Cloud and Barret soon came running in to see what had happened.

"Are you ok?" they asked in unison.

Tifa rubbed her head and blushed "uhhh... yea... I'm ok." she responded. She felt a little childish at times like these.

They both left the room so she could change and get ready. Tifa stood up and changed into her normal snowpants and sweater, she pulled on some warm woolen socks and left to eat breakfast with the others. They were all seated around the large round kitchen table eating Arith's crispy *maybe too crispy* pancakes. " Wow." Barret said "you did a good job on breakfast today." he was trying to raise her spirits. She managed a weak smile.

"Thanks." she said as she turned to give Tifa some pancakes.

Let's go skiing today!" Yuffie exclaimed, pulling up her skies, that just happened to be at the table.

"Sure." Barret said "Maybe later."

And Yuffie dropped the skies with a frown. "Ok." she almost sniffed.

When every one finished breakfast they hung out in the living room watching a movie *Austin Powers*

They presently heard some scraping noises coming from the kitchen table to see Yuffie+Skies+Sharp object. "shiny... mine... my own... my... precious!" she gave an evil grin.

"Yuffie what are you doing!" Demanded Cloud, he was truly puzzled.

She was bent over the skies "Materia holes" she anounced proudly sitting straight up. Cloud still looked puzzled. "They needed materia holes, so we could put materia in them, they would work much better that way. Don't you agree." she asked fully serious.

"Skies don't need materia holes dear." Arith told her. "but whatever." she shrugged. *whatever is a trademark of Squall Leonheart from Final Fantasy 8. Arith Gainsburg was granted permission and received a license to use that phrase. Thankyou for your time and attention.*

There was a knock at the door. Tifa got up and awensered it. "Oh look what the snow blew in!" she announced.

In the door way stood *dun dun dun* none other then, the one and only. *Auther-we get the point, tell us already OK-where we last left our fearless heroes... in the door way stood... Sepheroth. *evil music* "Mwa ha ha ha ha ha" he cackled "Ignorant humans" he cackled some more.

"Umm... Sepheroth." Yuffie interrupted "Yea... could you, like, stop cackling. Yea that would mean alot to me."

"Erm, yea." he nodded. "Anyway. I have the ultimate weapon of distruction, you can not run now, pathetic humans. Wma ha ha ha ha."

"Umm, you cackled." Yuffie said a bit pissed off.

"Did not, I maniacal laughed." he said with his hands on his hips.

"You cackled, and it's called, laughing maniacally." she stuck out her tongue.

"Whatever." *Sepheroth also has a license and granted permission to use whatever.

"Oh and your so called "ultimate weapon of distruction" is a snow ball." pointed out Tifa.

"Ahh yes, it seems to be an ordinary snow ball, when infact is *Dun dun dun* an ordinary snow ball." he laughed miniachly and held up the snow ball for all to see.

Then he paused and waited for everyone ot gasp. But no one did.

Tifa summoned Ifrit and had him burn Sepheroth to a crisp. "Good boy." Tifa patted him on the head before he dissapered. Tifa then proceeded to closed the door and yell "Good bye!" to Sepheroth.

"Can we go skiing now!?" pleaded Yuffie. She had put two ice materias on her skies.

"*sigh* ok Yuffie we'll go to the slopes." Barret agreed. Yufie thanked him and gave him a bear hug. "Get offa me foo'" Barret yelled at her.

They all grabbed their equipment and went to the van in the garage. Barret drove them to the ski place.

Tifa tried to remember Cloud's snow boarding lessons but half way down the slope she ran into a tree and slid on her butt the rest of the way down, untill Cloud came by and helped her up. he looped arms with her because she could not steer well and so that she would not fall over again.

Barret snow board as well, and the other girls skied. they all had lots of fun and return home that night.

Arith turned on the news and the weather was on. "Hey guys." she yelled from the couch as every one was in the kitchen making soup and hot chocolate. "There is a snow storm blizzard thing that is supposed to happen tonight.

"What are we going to do!" panicked Yuffie.

"We'll be fine." Tifa assured her.

Barret started a fire in the fire place of the cabin and they watched "Final Fantasy the Spirits with in."

"Hay look out the window every one, it's coming down pretty hard." Cloud commented. Every one peered out the large window.

"You right..." gasped Tifa. "What should we do." she asked Barret.

"Stay right here." he replied calmly "We'll be fine.

By the time they had all decided to go to bed the snow had piled up to a few feet. But there was nothing to worry about, or so Barret said.
