disclaimer: still wishing I owned FF7.. but besides the delusions, I'm still not collecting any royalties. The idea of Cid singing that certain song was taken from the Simpsons! Everything else is mine.. ALL MINE! muahahahaha!

***********************************************************************

Author: ..And this is the highwind. That's where Yuffie ralphed *gesturing with hands*, and that's where vincent stood *points to shadowy place*, and thats where Cait Sith got--

Vincent: Kimmie, I've seen the highwind before. Theres no need for a guided tour.

Author: *sweatdrop* I knew that

Vincent: *nods* Hmph

Author: So, I have the Highwind. I know how to pilot it. I can go wherever i want.

Vincent: Impressive, even for--

** Vincent is cut off, when they hear a door opening, and smoke billowing into the room, and footsteps approaching... along with a certain famous Deep Purple song (a/n still with me?)**

Cid: *singing off the top of his lungs* BUM BA DA, BUM BUM BA DA, BUM BUM BA, BA DA!!

** The author and vincent exchange looks **

Author:...Oh sweet god..

Vincent: ..Cid..?

Cid: *Bursts into the room* SMOOOOOOOKE ON THE WATERRR!! bum ba da, bum bum ba da! FIREEE IN THE SKYYYY!!!

Author: *Slaps forehead* This isn't happening

Vincent:.. Whats wrong with him..?

Author: He's been tokeing up, that's what.

Vincent: Cid! You're on the wackey backey now????

Cid: *Walks over to vincent, eyes all wide as he gropes his face* Oh vincent, time has ravaged your once useful looks.

Vincent: ...?!

Author: *Whacks Cid on the head* Shut up stoner! He can never age, got it? NEVER!!!

Cid: *Turns to author* Ooohh! The world is such a pretty pallet of colors! It looks like sumone fingerpainted the sky!

Author: Oh, god, vincent, just knock him out please, for the love of Jenova!!

Vincent: *Rolls eyes as he gives Cid the "sleeper" move... you know the technique that makes you go night-night for 30 min...? Okay, nevermind. He hit him upside his big dumb head and knocked him out*

Author: Woah, vincent, you're really strong you know?

Vincent: Yes, i know of my abilities *looks at cid* what now?

Author: Well, we fly somewhere else of course! Any requests?

Vincent: *Thinks* How bout Neibleheim?

Author: Oh no vincent! Im not flying ya back so u can cage yourself back up in that coffin!

Vincent: *Looks impatient* No, Cloud's house is there..

Author: If you're trying to improve your cause, you're failing. Miserably.

Vincent:....

Author:.....................Okay, fine. lets go.

Author: HELLLOOOOOO NEIBLEHEIM!!

**Villagers stop to look at the author oddly**

Author: What are YOU staring at?!

**Villagers continue to stare**

Vincent: She's with me

**Villagers stare for a second longer then start screaming in terror and running for their little shacks as the realiztaion kicks in**

Author: Oooh! I like that!! You're so swauve Vinny!

Vincent:....

Author: Am I REALLY with you??

Vincent: ...There's still the matter of finding Cloud

Author: Why?! How could he possibly help the doobey-holic known as Cid?

Vincent: Pah. He wont be able to. He's a dumb ass.

Author: Well, thats stating the obvious, why do u wanna find him so bad?

Vincent: *clenches fists* Cuz that little bastard owes me money!!

Author: *looks at Vincent oddly* Okay Vincent.... lets find cloud then, shall we... *grabs passerby, as they are running to their shack*

Vincent: Where's Cloud Strife?

Passerby: GAH! You scare me vampire-man!

Vincent: DAMMIT! I am not a vampire!

Author: Shut up vincent and let him answer the question!

Vincent: *crosses arms and mumbles something suspiciously resembling "why i should suck him high and dry"*

Passerby: Cloud Strife.... you mean that spikey-headed moron?!

Passerby: Oh, he lives up there *points to a building*

Author: *lets go of passerby who resumes running in terror*
